Capítulo 1801: Chapter 1802: Foreign Powers and the Sheng Miao
Ye Xunhuan didn’t know how long he had been lying in the coffin before he felt it being lifted and taken away.
If there were people around at this mont, they would surely see four burly n, like coffin bearers, carrying the bright red coffin swiftly forward.
That’s right, carrying it, not using a vehicle to haul it away.
The four n, carrying the coffin, moved as if they were flying, their speed terrifyingly fast, as if the coffin was as light as paper to them, without any weight at all.
Even with Ye Xunhuan’s keen perception, in the dark confines of the coffin, he had no idea in which direction they were headed.
Inside the coffin, Ye Xunhuan lay quietly, like a dead person, motionless, let alone speaking.
Without a word from Ye Xunhuan, the woman lying next to him didn’t know what to say to pass the ti, even if she wanted to speak.
It was unknown how much ti passed before Ye Xunhuan felt the coffin being placed on the ground, followed by three distinct knocks on the coffin lid.
Clearly, soone was knocking on the coffin lid!
Upon hearing these three knocks, the woman imdiately said, “Marshal, we’ve arrived; you can break out of the coffin!”
As soon as the woman finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan’s legs suddenly lifted, kicking toward the coffin lid!
“Bang!”
His feet struck heavily against the coffin lid, the terrifying force sending it flying off, and the setting sun’s rays shone into Ye Xunhuan’s vision.
As the coffin lid was kicked away, Ye Xunhuan leaped up like a carp and stood up instantly.
Just as Ye Xunhuan rose, applause echoed in his ears, accompanied by a deep and raspy voice!
“Marshal, welco to the Shengmiao as a guest!”
Shengmiao!
Hearing these two words, Ye Xunhuan’s expression changed sharply!
So this mysterious tribe was the Shengmiao. But it made sense; the Shumiao had largely been assimilated by Han culture, leaving only the Shengmiao to maintain their mystery by staying reclusive!
Imdiately, Ye Xunhuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man with a goatee enter his sight.
This old man with a goatee had the left side of his face covered by a silver-white mask, giving him a slightly bizarre look!
“Asura King?”
“Yes!” The Asura King admitted, “We are honored by your visit to our Shengmiao!”
“Where is my wife?” Ye Xunhuan wasted no words with the Asura King and directly asked.
“Rest assured, Miss Qiu is well. I can take you to see her now,” the Asura King replied calmly.
“Alright!”
The Asura King didn’t say much more and led Ye Xunhuan to find Qiu Ruoxi.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t know where the Shengmiao people lived, but the area was surrounded by mountains on all sides, appearing like the heart of a mountain range, and all the houses were made of wood, creating a striking visual impact.
Especially for soone accustod to skyscrapers, seeing these wooden houses was refreshing and otherworldly.
“Marshal, how do you find our Shengmiao?”
“It looks pretty good, like the idyllic land described by Tao Yuanming!”
“To be honest, it was discovered by our ancestors by chance, initially to escape the chaos of war. According to our clan records, we hid here during the Ming Dynasty!”
“The Ming Dynasty?”
“Yes, during the Ming period, the dynasty isolated the Shengmiao, Shumiao, and Han people, assimilating the Shumiao and trying to conquer us as well. But our ancestors were unwilling to submit and led the clan to migrate here to avoid assimilation!”
“However, even now, we’ve largely been assimilated, though we’ve retained so of our old customs!”
Ye Xunhuan had heard of so of these things the Asura King ntioned, as he had studied history in school!
“Are you the clan leader here?”
“Yes!” The Asura King acknowledged, “But don’t think I’m an emperor here!”
“It seems myths don’t entirely match reality!”
“It was indeed like that before, but now, with an emphasis on equality, we can no longer be so autocratic, or it would be our ruin!”
At this mont, Ye Xunhuan and the Asura King chatted like old friends long separated!
Led by the Asura King, Ye Xunhuan entered a large courtyard filled with flowers and trees, the house a three-story wooden structure, appearing exquisite and elegant, reminiscent of an ancient noble’s residence!
The mont the Asura King brought Ye Xunhuan in, Ye Xunhuan spotted Qiu Ruoxi strolling in the courtyard, accompanied by Qianhuan Liuyun.
“Dear!” Upon seeing Qiu Ruoxi, Ye Xunhuan’s face bead with joy, and he instinctively called out.
Walking leisurely, Qiu Ruoxi’s body trembled slightly upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s voice, and she turned her head to look at him.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan, a joyful expression imdiately appeared on Qiu Ruoxi’s fair cheeks.
The next mont, Ye Xunhuan appeared in front of Qiu Ruoxi like a breeze.
“Are you alright?” Ye Xunhuan anxiously grasped Qiu Ruoxi’s arm and asked.
Looking at Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi also felt filled with excitent.
Because she didn’t even know how she fell into their hands, the sa as Qianhuan Liuyun, but fortunately, they hadn’t been troubled or hard.
“I’m fine!” Qiu Ruoxi held back her excitent and said, “Why are you here…”
“To take you away from here!”
“Can we leave?”
“Why not?”
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t speak; instead, she looked at the Asura King.
Having stayed for a day, Qiu Ruoxi knew very well that the Asura King was the true authority here.
Feeling Qiu Ruoxi’s gaze, the Asura King imdiately understood the aning and said, “Miss Qiu, you are free to leave whenever you wish!”
“Of course, if Miss Qiu wishes to stay, I’ll make sure you’re well taken care of!”
As he spoke, the Asura King slowly turned his gaze to Ye Xunhuan, “Marshal, I know you’re still suspicious of , so I’ll leave you and Miss Qiu alone. Feel free to check if anything is wrong; hold accountable!”
“In the anti, I’ll prepare dinner for us to share in the evening.”
