Chapter 103 Overseas Countries

The Shan Hai Realm, overseas nations.

Xi Wangmu (the Queen Mother of the West) was very strict with her instruction of the heavenly maidens, even to the point of being harsh.

This resulted in the fact that even after several thousand years of development, with Jue's knowledge, she could easily live in the Women's Country. She quickly found a place to live with her medical skills, while Qin Yuan was assigned to gather information throughout the capital of the Women's Country.

She had always lived in the Xishan Realm and was experiencing the overseas countries for the first time.

She was very interested in everything here.

Another day, Qin Yuan returned after gathering information for the entire morning.

Her eyes were bright with curiosity and satisfaction with this new city. It had an extremely prosperous supernatural civilization, and the concentration of spiritual energy was much higher than in the human world. At least for a fierce beast like her, living here seemed more comfortable than in the human world.

Qin Yuan chattered non-stop with the heavenly maiden about what she had seen and heard in the Women's Country.

She was full of hope to stay here.

The girl, dressed in the clothing of the Women's Country, smiled and nodded, "You've done a good job, Qin Yuan."

"If we understand the situation here, we can find a way back to the human world as soon as possible."

Qin Yuan, who was originally introducing the situation of the Women's Country, paused, then looked at Jue and said:

"Return to the human world?"

She was curious and asked, "You are a heavenly maiden of Kunlun... You are the wind circling above the nine heavens. As long as there is Kunlun, any place can be your home, and no place is your home. Kunlun Mountain exists in both the Shan Hai Realm and the human world, so why do you want to return to the human world?"

She didn't want to go back at all.

She didn't want to go back for the make-up exam.

Jue was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied, "Returning to the human world, because there is..."

Her voice stopped abruptly.

What was there?

There were youthful memories, the things she had seen and heard during her travels, and also...

She suddenly thought of that unexpected embrace.

She thought of the familiar warmth.

Then she thought of the paintings drawn by the painter ghost.

Qin Yuan waited for a long time without an answer, raised her head, and saw the girl frozen there, her face fair, but her ears were as red as if they were on fire.

She had said the wrong thing!

Qin Yuan reacted and immediately stammered, "I, I mean..."

She had a flash of inspiration and pointed to the food on the table, saying:

"Heavenly maiden, your cooking is amazing, the food is so delicious, who did you learn from?"

Cooking...

The heavenly maiden regained her composure, thought for a moment, and then fell into a daze.

Qin Yuan opened her mouth, then pointed to the pottery on the table, saying:

"This, the pattern on this pottery is quite pretty."

"............"

"No, no, I mean, I mean heavenly maiden, your medical skills are really amazing."

"............"

"No, I mean, the flowers you bought today are also very beautiful."

"............"

Qin Yuan realized with tearful eyes that almost every topic she brought up caused the girl to fall into a brief, intermittent trance. This gave Qin Yuan the feeling that she was facing an unprecedentedly difficult exam, and her scalp was tingling.

Why?

Why?!

Qin Yuan was almost scared out of her wits.

Don't be like this, young lady...

Could it be that for you.

"Pottery, medical skills, flowers, cooking, all point to the same reason?"

This, this... this makes no sense!

Dang dang dang...

Just then, a knock on the door broke the silence and rescued the poor Qin Yuan. She breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly opened the door, only to find that it was an official from the Women's Country, a descendant of the Kua E clan.

"Excuse me, is Doctor Jue here?"

The valiant female general was very polite. She nodded and said, "There is a patient who hopes that Doctor Jue can help treat her." The reason Jue was able to establish herself here was that she had saved a sick person, displaying extremely extraordinary medical skills, so she was very respected.

Qin Yuan came back, shook Jue's shoulders, and called out several times before Jue came back to her senses.

After calming herself and understanding the intent of the Women's Country general, the heavenly maiden instructed Qin Yuan and walked out with the valiant general. Jue's mind was still somewhat confused. The surrounding scenery was unfamiliar, novel, and interesting. The people coming and going were unseen, happy, or quiet, but her mind was not there.

She couldn't hear clearly what the female general was saying.

It was Qin Yuan's question today and her own unintentional words that had made her heart a little confused. Pottery, medical skills, flowers, cooking, these were things she thought she was familiar with, knowledge and abilities she had gained from her travels, but on closer inspection, there always seemed to be the same figure behind them.

Only today did she realize this...

You were there for the pottery of the ancient times, you were there for the medical skills of the Three Kingdoms, you were there for the flowers of a thousand years, and you were also there for the cooking.

Over the long years, the same person had been accompanying her.

Will you always remember me...

What about me?

Jue suddenly paused and said to the female general, "I'm sorry..."

"Please wait a moment."

Inside the house where the two were staying temporarily, Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and scratched her hair, messing up her short hair. She had really been startled just now. For a moment, she almost thought that this heavenly maiden was sick, otherwise, why would she have such a reaction?

It wasn't as if these things would really remind her of something, right?

Anyway, I'm not planning to go back.

I have to finish the make-up exam before I can go back...

But this food is really good.

Even Qin Yuan, who was a vegetarian, couldn't help but secrete saliva. She picked up chopsticks to eat, but before she could put it in her mouth, a cracking sound startled her. The food she was holding with her chopsticks flew away. She subconsciously turned her head and saw the door being pushed open. The heavenly maiden, dressed in the red and black armor of the Women's Country, seemed to have run back. She stood at the door, her head lowered, breathing slightly faster.

"Heavenly maiden?"

Qin Yuan subconsciously said.

Seeing the girl take a deep breath, then raise her head, her light brown eyes focused on Qin Yuan. She took a step forward, like a swordsman drawing his sword and walking towards destiny. This time, she answered frankly, "I want to return to the human world, because Yuan is there."

She said, "So I must go back!"

Qin Yuan was stunned.

Such a direct and unyielding answer, carrying the girl's soft but strong will, as if imbued with the awe-inspiring feeling of sword energy, made Qin Yuan, who was still troubled by the make-up exam, feel inexplicably ashamed. Jue nodded, as if she had completed an important task, with an aura of heroism, and turned to leave.

It took Qin Yuan a while to recover.

Then she heard hurried footsteps and turned her head to see the heavenly maiden come back again, flinging the door open. The girl's head was lowered, and this time not only were her ears red, but her entire fair face was flushed. She kept her head down and stammered:

"Then, then, don't tell Yuan about what I just said."

"Thank... Thank you!"

With a click, Jue closed the door and left in a hurry.

Qin Yuan slowly came back to her senses, sighing with emotion:

"How youthful..."

Then she suddenly realized that her age seemed to be less than even a fraction of the heavenly maiden's, a sad fact.

Still just a bee.

No youth to speak of.

And she failed the exam.

It felt even sadder.

Outside the door not far away, the general of the Women's Country waited quietly.

Jue, who had completely spoken out what she wanted to say, walked over, her expression returning to its original serene elegance. She nodded and said in a gentle voice, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Who am I treating this time?"

"You're too kind, Doctor Jue."

The general of the Women's Country nodded, hesitated, and replied:

"Originally, I shouldn't say it, but since you'll find out soon anyway, it doesn't matter. This time, it's our ancestor of the Kua E clan who wants to see you, and it's also our selfish desire to have you treat her."

"She is a direct descendant of the god Kua E."

"Kua Lin."
