Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

After careful consideration, Lin Nan strongly agreed with what Mrs. Bai Gu said.

"You are right. The flesh and blood of cultivators are indeed a great tonic."

Lin Nan wasn't frightened at all by her sinister tone.

Fairies, especially wild fairies, will try every possible means to improve their cultivation.

This is the instinct of the gods.

Just like humans have the instinct to reproduce.

"Your cultivation is not low." Madam Bai Gu narrowed her eyes and her voice was slightly low.

Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she wished she could dig a piece of flesh out of the other person.

Lin Nan touched his face and compared his current strength.

He has the ability to control thunder and ward off evil spirits, and he can use various small spells, plus the luck of the God of Wealth...

Taking all the factors into consideration, his current strength has indeed exceeded the limits of human cultivators.

Calling him God actually makes no difference.

"I am indeed not low. If you dare to fight me, I am absolutely sure that I can deal with you."

Lin Nan probably grew up under modern education and is used to speaking directly.

"Are you so confident?" Mrs. Bai Gu was so angry that she laughed.

Mrs. Bai Gu's husband Fang Chuyun coughed and looked at him eagerly.

Lin Nan smiled confidently: "Of course I have confidence, but I am a compassionate person. I hope you are a wild fairy, helpless and it is not easy to cultivate, so I don't want to do anything."

"I advise you not to try. If you do, you will surely die."

Lin Nan raised two fingers slightly, condensing a little tear light, which gradually formed a lightning seal to ward off evil spirits.

Mrs. Bai Gu took two steps back, her eyes revealing deep fear and dread.

This person really crushed his own strength as he said.

hateful……

Fang Chuyun swallowed and gave his wife a look.

Mrs. Bai Gu lowered her eyes, walked to her husband's bed, sat on the edge of the bed and put one hand on her husband's shoulder.

The two of them look like a loving couple, harmless and sympathetic.

"My husband is weak and may not live long. Can you help..."

Lin Nan raised his hand and made a gesture of rejection.

"Sorry, I said before that I'm not good at healing."

Lin Nan noticed that Fang Chuyun's breathing became rapid due to excitement, and kindly reminded him not to get too excited.

After all, too much excitement can also affect life.

But after being persuaded like this, Fang Chuyun started coughing violently.

Lin Nan felt uncomfortable hearing the cough, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.

"You are so capable, there must be a way to save me. Please, help me."

Lin Nan was speechless. Did he look like a nice guy?

"There's nothing I can do. I can only say that everything is destined."

Fang Chuyun gritted his teeth in anger.

Mrs. Bones felt sorry for her husband and gently stroked his back to comfort him.

"Don't be sad. It hurts me to see you like this."

"He can't save me either. I'm afraid I'm going to die."

Mrs. White Bone was crying.

Lin Nan watched without saying anything.

The aura of death lingering around Fang Chuyun said it all.

"After I die, you can eat me." Fang Chuyun coughed and spoke intermittently.

Mrs. Bones held his hand tightly, and there was an air of sadness around her.

Her cultivation and her abilities were not enough to save her husband.

"You eat me, and I will be absorbed by you and become a part of you. We...will be together forever."

Lin Nan's scalp suddenly went numb. He took two steps back and distanced himself from the couple.

This situation made him think that he had come to the wrong place and had arrived at the scene of some third-rate romance drama.

"I will, we will be together forever." Mrs. Bai Gu's tears kept falling.

She cried and apologized with a sob.

"I'm just too useless. If I could become stronger, maybe I could save you."

"It's okay, it's fine now."

Fang Chuyun glanced at Lin Nan unwillingly.

In fact, if he had a choice, he would rather eat this monk to replenish his body.

However, it was obvious that Bai Gu was no match for this man.

If they really had to fight, both of them would die.

"Cough cough cough..."

After coughing violently a few times, Fang Chuyun's breath gradually weakened.

Mrs. Bai Gu cried more and more sadly, until she felt that the person in her arms had completely stopped breathing, then she slowly wiped the tears from her face.

"you……"

When Lin Nan saw the other person turn his head away, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Comforting a not-so-kind fairy?

Goodbye, he really couldn't say it.

He wanted more to see and find out more about the current situation in the world.

I just didn't expect that I would witness the separation of life and death of a loving couple.

"Please don't be surprised by what happens next. After all, this is my husband's request. If you don't want to watch it, please leave first."

Mrs. Bai Gu actually wanted to kill this man, but she couldn't beat him.

After saying this, Mrs. Bones lowered her head and bit her husband's head.

The sound of bones being crunched echoed in the cave.

Lin Nan couldn't bear to watch it any longer and felt his stomach boiling.

He ran out of the cave quickly, and his back looked like he was fleeing in panic.

Only after running down the mountain did Lin Nan take a breath.

An old man carrying a bundle of firewood came out from the path, saw a stranger, and immediately looked him up and down.

Lin Nan has now changed into an ancient outfit. Although the clothes are not made of expensive materials, they are clean and tidy.

Coupled with Lin Nan's majestic demeanor and temperament, the woodcutter came over and asked respectfully.

"Who are you, my lord?"

Lin Nan waved his hand: "My name is Lin Nan, I just happened to come here to play, and now I'm lost."

The woodcutter said, "Master Lin, if you don't mind, you can stay at my house for one night. As long as you don't mind my simple house."

This person is probably an official who came to patrol the city.

Otherwise, how could he have such a majestic look?
It’s just that this official doesn’t seem to want to reveal his identity, so he probably wants to investigate secretly.

The woodcutters knew that some big shots liked to travel incognito.

"I definitely don't mind it."

Lin Nan said righteously: "I accept your kindness. As a guest, how can I be disgusted? That beauty is too uneducated."

Such politeness made the woodcutter more confident in his guess.

"Then, sir, wait for me."

Lin Nan followed the woodcutter into the village.

There are several families at the entrance of the village who have already started lighting a fire and cooking.

Their cooking tools were also very simple, just a few clay pots and a stove made of stones. There was basically no oil, salt or anything like that.

Add some rice and some vegetables into the pot and just put water in to cook.

The smell of cooking floated in the air, and Lin Nan thought he smelled pig food.

Is this the cooking method used to feed pigs in the countryside in the past?

The production level in ancient times was so backward, it's amazing that these people could endure and survive.

The woodcutter's home was very simple, just a thatched house with walls made of thatch and mud.

The woodcutter's wife was outside making a fire and cooking. She was said to be cooking rice, but in fact she was cooking beans.

When the old woman saw her husband coming back with a stranger, she opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Who is this?"

"This is a stranger from another place who is staying in our house temporarily. He got lost." The woodcutter introduced Lin Nan. Lin Nan also had good words and told him about his situation.

"My name is Lin Nan. I accidentally got lost when I came here to stroll around. It's getting late, so I can only bother you for one night."

Lin Nan wanted to give the other party some money for accommodation, but cash definitely couldn't be used here.

He thought about it, the valuable things in himself...

It seems not.

However, you can add a little fortune to the other person.

He opened his third eye and saw the energy of fortune lingering around the old couple.

As for financial luck...I can't say that there is no financial luck, but I can say that it is better than nothing.

But this little bit of wealth can only provide them with enough food to eat and not starve.

However, such conditions were probably considered good in the eyes of ancient people.

After all, the level of productivity in this era is so backward... Lin Nan dare not even imagine it.

He flicked his fingers, and a small wisp of the God of Wealth's luck quickly merged into the aura energy of the two people.

The old couple did not notice any changes.

"Ah, the meal is almost ready, Lord Lin, please come and eat."

The woodcutter invited him to work inside, and the old woman served him a bowl of bean rice.

Lin Nan declined: "How can I do that? If I eat, you guys will be hungry tonight. Besides, I've already eaten before, so you guys can eat first."

After repeated refusals, the couple stopped persuading.

After eating, Lin Nan started chatting with them.

"Excuse me, where is this place? What is the name of your village?"

"Our village doesn't have a name. It's just called Old Mountain Village. It's too remote. There are only a few dozen families living here."

The woodcutter answered truthfully and began to complain.

"This place is remote and poor, and we rarely see strangers."

Lin Nan thought about the situation of the White Bone Demon and curiously asked, "What do you locals know about that mountain?"

The two sat on the pile of firewood at the door and chatted. While Lin Nan asked questions, he pointed to the mountain in the distance.

That is the mountain where the White Bone Demon is.

"There……"

The woodcutter paused, hesitating, not knowing whether to speak.

"Don't be scared by what I say, Master Lin."

"Don't worry, I won't be scared."

Because I've been scared before.

Lin Nan muttered to himself.

It is simply impossible to describe the White Bone Demon and that man in words.

"It is said that there lives a White Bone Lady on the mountain. She is a powerful person with profound cultivation."

Lin Nan sensed something was wrong and narrowed his eyes to test him: "You said she is a powerful person with profound cultivation?"

Do even the people in the remote and backward mountain valleys know about cultivation?
Moreover, when talking about cultivation, he acted as if he was completely familiar with it.

Lin Nan felt something was wrong.

If this is really a world where goblins are prevalent, then it means that monks are also very common here.

The overall average level of cultivation is definitely much higher than that of the world he is in.

"Yes, we all call her Madam White Bone. It is because of her that we have been able to enjoy good weather and good harvests. Otherwise, the people in our old mountain village would have died out long ago."

The woodcutter couldn't help but complain about the heavy taxes and levies when talking about this. He said that even if they didn't have any space and worked hard all day, it was still difficult to support their family.

It is difficult to maintain even the basic food and clothing.

"Lord Lin, I see that you really care about the people's livelihood. Go back and tell those yamen runners to spare us when collecting taxes and stop squeezing us..."

After hearing this, Lin Nan was basically certain that he had been misunderstood by the other party.

He did not open his mouth to refute.

The aura energy of the man in front of him was not exactly clear, but there was no final breath either.

Generally speaking, people with this kind of aura are the type who live an honest life.

Life is really not easy, so help them if you can.

"Master Lin, when people get old, they like to nag. Please don't despise me, an old man."

Lin Nan shook his head and simply asked about the White Bone Lady.

"I've heard of the Bones Lady before. What do you know about her? Does she usually harass your village?"

After clearing the table, the old woman with the clay pot came out and heard these words.

She frowned, thinking about Mrs. Bones' past actions.

"That White Bone Lady sometimes needs sacrifices, too. Every spring, summer, autumn and winter, people have to be sent to her."

"She eats people?" Lin Nan had the last bit of murderous intent in his heart.

"Just eat it. They accepted the sacrifices and really will help our village. Our old mountain village has never been harassed by goblins, which is pretty good."

The woodcutter sighed and comforted himself.

Lin Nan could tell that the other party was not joking, but really thought that this was not bad.

In a world where goblins are prevalent, even cannibalism is considered common in the eyes of mortals?
Lin Nan was shocked.

"But...how many innocent people will die in this way..." at the hands of goblins?
"But there is nothing we can do. We can't defeat them. At least this way, most of the guys can survive. Sir, you are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man... If our small mountain village is targeted by those ferocious monsters, maybe everyone will be eaten."

Lin Nan couldn't refute.

"What about the gods? You can ask for their protection..."

"I'm afraid even the gods don't know about our poor place."

Lin Nan couldn't refute.

This small mountain village really doesn't have the slightest fairy-like aura.

Except himself.

It was getting dark and the old woman went in and made the bed.

The bed was very simple, just a dozen wooden boards and a straw mat.

The old couple also gave their only quilt to Lin Nan.

When Lin Nan found out, he quickly refused: "Two elders, please don't do this."

As he spoke, he carried the quilt back to the two elderly people's beds.

"I'm still young, so it's okay to feel a little cold. You're older now, so you still have to take care of your health and not get cold."

The woodcutter was so moved that his eyes turned red.

"Thank you for your understanding, sir. I am really sorry for the poor hospitality."

"It's nothing. I'm sorry for disturbing you. I don't have anything with me."

After Lin Nan finished his pleasantries, seeing that it was getting late, everyone went back to bed.

Through the thatched mud wall, Lin Nan could clearly hear the couple's low conversation at night.

"I have never seen such an easy-going official. If he were a new official, we might be able to live a good life here." (End of this chapter)
