"Y-yeah, I know."
Just by looking at Tang Rao's captivating peach blossom eyes, she actually confessed the truth.
"Co on, tell us!"
Tang Rao blinked his peach blossom eyes again, amusing the little sister to the point of confusion.
"Alright!"
"Xao Tiao, don't break the rules."
A woman in a purple cloak appeared.
Seeing that Tang Rao's Soul Capturing was about to succeed, suddenly a middle-aged woman intervened. How is the ga supposed to continue?
"Youngsters these days, using Soul Capturing plus Beauty Trap to make a little girl tell the truth, truly shaless."
The cloaked woman flipped her hand and cleared Xao Tiao's mind.
"Master, just now, what happened just now?"
It seems that if the woman hadn't appeared, her strategy would have been quite successful.
Tang Rao felt smug.
"Nothing happened, keep posting."
The cloaked woman did not look at Tang Rao again but soared away.
"Xao Tiao, right? Who was that just now, flying around like that? So cool!"
Ba Wangba sneered nearby, thinking, "As if you couldn't fly around like that."
"That's my ntor, the Purple Dusk Immortal, I'm really a fan of her."
When one admires soone, their eyes glow with gold. Tang Rao indeed saw the shimring golden light in Xao Tiao's eyes.
"Such a rare sight of infatuation, we must protect this well."
And the Purple Dusk Immortal? That woman looks good, but still several levels below the real immortal.
"Brother Tang Rao, what does infatuation an?"
Ba Wangba asked humbly, and Tang Rao pointed at Xao Tiao's chin and said, "See her? That's what it looks like."
Xao Tiao didn't care how Tang Rao described her; she knew he was trying to say she was beautiful. Typically, when describing beautiful girls, people say they're like a flower.
Infatuation probably refers to a flower.
"Hurry up and go, any later and you won't be able to enter the 'Sky' area which has a ti limit."
Just as the little girl finished speaking, Tang Rao and Ba Wangba shot in like arrows.
"People nowadays are really impatient, no idea if they can pass the first level."
The 'Sky' area was the Illusion Realm, Tang Rao noticed imdiately upon entering.
Fortunately, Ba Wangba was still with Tang Rao.
"The sll here is awful, more disgusting than the stench at the Yeti's place."
Tang Rao took out a gas mask from his portable palace, one for himself, and handed another to Ba Wangba.
"Brother Wang Ba, follow , put on the gas mask, there's poison in the feces!"
Tang Rao tentatively labeled the source of the sll as feces, pulling his hat down over it.
Ba Wangba sensed sothing amiss and hurriedly donned the gas mask like Tang Rao; the world suddenly slled less malicious.
"Children, welco to Illusion City."
An ancient voice erged.
Illusion City? Isn't that the sa na as Tang Rao's Illusion City?
Birds of a feather flock together.
"Thank you, thank you. May I ask, what is this Illusion City testing?"
'Sky'?
The scope is broad, no matter the angle, it can trap a person. Even as clever as Tang Rao is, he couldn't predict the test questions.
"Children, do you see beneath your feet?"
The ancient voice sounded again, Tang Rao looked down and gasped.
He jumped directly.
"What kind of hellish place is this?"
Everywhere was blood, it was the corpses. On the ground, in the water, on the mountains; alive people cried on roads, pleading with the heavens for help.
"Congratulations, you've drawn the task that doesn't compromise your conscience."
The ancient voice continued, "Do not doubt, this is a real place. Your mission is to find this place, beco the heavens once, rescue them, help them complete post-catastrophe relief; the ti limit is five days."
Suddenly, the whole world went silent.
Five days to rescue over a million people and help them complete post-disaster reconstruction? Are you here joking with ?
Tang Rao did not believe he could be grand enough to save all beings.
"Hey, can we discuss this more? Over a million people, I really can't manage!"
No matter how Tang Rao shouted, no one responded. If they can't pass this level, they won't have chances for subsequent evaluations.
"Brother Tang Rao, what do you say we do?"
Ba Wangba knew Tang Rao was smarter than him, so he listened to whatever Tang Rao said.
Even if Tang Rao said to imdiately give up the competition, Ba Wangba wouldn't wait a mont longer.
"What to do? Rescue, first let's go down and see what disease it is."
The two descended through the clouds, amidst mountains and rivers, he felt as if he was back on Blue Star.
Here the folk customs were simple, stilted houses were everywhere.
If not for the outbreak, this place should be stunningly beautiful.
"Oh my gosh, Brother Tang Rao, though I've killed many, they were all righteous people. Look, these civilians are so innocent, they've done nothing wrong, why must they suffer these diseases?"
It was rare for Ba Wangba's conscience to erge, watching innocent lives perish, his conscience was already being tornted.
"If I knew, these people would have already been saved."
Tang Rao rolled his eyes at Ba Wangba, ignoring him.
On the road, they t a living person, Tang Rao stopped the fleeing person: "Old lady, what's happened, why are so many dying?"
Tang Rao still wore the gas mask, looking like an alien.
The old lady only thought of escaping, seeing two oddly dressed young n, she swooned in terror.
"You saw, I was innocent!"
Tang Rao shrugged, pressing heavily on the old lady's acupoint, she slowly woke up.
"Old lady, we're here to save you. Can you tell what's happened here now?"
By first revealing his identity, Tang Rao averted the fate of being despised by the old lady.
"Oh, you're here to save us, that's good, that's good. Our Magic Village used to be peaceful, every household lived comfortably, until one day."
She fell into deep panic.
That year, a Taoist ca to their village to perform rituals, saying their place was inauspicious, perford another ritual, then the village prospered, and the Taoist took away all valuable items and left.
The year after the Taoist left, the village's bad luck followed, every household began to fall ill. The illness spread, one infecting two, two infecting four, and so on until over a million people were trapped in dire straits.
Villagers and outsiders alike, suffering from this illness, found it hard to heal and could not die peacefully.
They sought doctors, prayed to gods, but none were effective.
"So tragic, Tang Rao, can you treat this illness?"
Again, Tang Rao?
Seeing Ba Wangba's expression that said he had no solution either.
"I'll try my best."
He dared not promise he could cure it, but with a sliver of hope, Tang Rao, guided by benevolence, decided to investigate.
