Chapter 875: 0875 A Land of Purity! (Fifth Update)

Ye Qiu opened his eyes and saw a pair of clear eyes, a little girl with chubby cheeks was smiling at him.

"Grandpa, big brother is awake," the little girl said joyfully.

"Who are you?" Ye Qiu looked at the two in front of him, only to hear the old man with a face full of wrinkles say, "We saw you faint from thirst and gave you some water. Fortunately, you’re alright and have awoken."

Hearing the sincere words of the other party, Ye Qiu was slightly startled. Could he really have fainted from thirst?

Ye Qiu smiled, thinking that the grandfather and granddaughter must have misunderstood, believing he was a young man lost in the desert. Looking at their earnest gazes, Ye Qiu did not reveal the truth but instead expressed his thanks: "Thank you very much, sir, for saving my life."

In the desert, water is the most precious resource. Without it, even if you are worth millions, it would be useless; in the desert, without water, one cannot survive.

This grandfather and granddaughter, without knowing him, were willing to share their water, showing their inherently kind hearts—a kind old man and a sweet-natured little girl.

"Big brother, is this big bird yours? It looks really fierce," the little girl said, curious about the golden-feathered bird beside Ye Qiu when she saw him wake up and couldn’t help asking.

"Jin Yu, did you frighten her?" Ye Qiu patted the head of Jin Yu, who affectionately closed its eyes, looking very well-behaved, with none of the intimidating presence it initially had.

"It belongs to me, I hope it didn’t scare you," Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Seeing how docile Jin Yu was, the little girl was very interested, her big eyes fluttering, eager to step forward and, like Ye Qiu, stroke its feathers. She was a bit hesitant, fearing that Jin Yu might peck her.

"It’s fine, it won’t bite you," Ye Qiu encouraged the little girl to come closer. The old man didn’t stop his granddaughter, and the little girl tentatively stretched out her hand to touch Jin Yu’s golden feathers, her face beaming with even more joy as she said, "It’s really well-behaved."

"Young man, I suppose you haven’t had a proper meal for several days, have you? Come with us. It’s just another twenty miles to our village, and you won’t be able to make it out of the desert alone," the old man said.

Ye Qiu thought that since his cultivation in the desert was almost done, it was indeed time to leave, so he nodded in agreement.

On the way, Ye Qiu didn’t let Jin Yu fly up to carry him across the skies for fear it would frighten the grandfather and granddaughter, as both of them were ordinary people. The old man clearly looked like a sincere elder, willing to lend a helping hand in the desert.

While walking beside the old man, Jin Yu tried to imitate human movements, wobbling along, with the little girl running back and forth beside it, evidently very fond of her new companion.

En route, the old man inquired why Ye Qiu ventured alone into the desert.

Ye Qiu made up a reason about traveling alone and sidestepped the question, to which the old man warned: "Next time, you must not walk alone in the desert. After all, the desert is not like other places, where both food and water get depleted very quickly, and it’s easy to get lost. Each year there are several adventure-loving individuals like you who end up staying in the desert, never to walk out."

The old man’s advice was heartfelt, and Ye Qiu listened attentively, agreeing and nodding all the way.

Afterward, the old man started to tell stories about the desert, including the origins of the Sahara Desert.

Perhaps it was because he hadn’t spoken to such a kind and sincere person in a long time, Ye Qiu greatly enjoyed listening to the elder’s astonishing tales, and before he knew it, they had arrived at the elder’s home.

This was a village on the edge of the desert, with about thirty households, all of whom had been raising camels for generations. The elder’s home was very simple: a small thatched hut, a courtyard made of grass, a true desert dwelling through and through.

The elder prepared dinner for Ye Qiu. In the small courtyard, the little girl and Jin Yu played joyously, and the girl even climbed onto Jin Yu’s back, filling the courtyard with laughter and happiness.

Enjoying a simple meal, drinking a cup of homemade grape wine with the elder; this kind of comfort and simplicity gave Ye Qiu much to reflect on.

The night sky was filled with stars; the little girl, tired from playing all day, went to bed early and fell soundly asleep.

Ye Qiu looked up at the starry sky, feeling as peaceful as the night itself, as if the whole world had fallen into a deep sleep.

Ye Qiu’s Divine Sense was bright and clear. Reflecting on the insights of the past days, he realized two months had flown by in the blink of an eye.

In these days, mounted on the back of Jin Yu the Sea-Eastern Azure, Ye Qiu traveled across various terrains, from forests and gorges to plains, pausing and meditating at each, absorbing their essence to perfect his ability to use the environment to his advantage.

The desert was his final stop, and although awakened by the grandfather and granddaughter, Ye Qiu had nearly mastered the nuances of leveraging the desert. He quickly entered a state of deep comprehension, thoroughly penetrating the remaining aspects, and achieved perfection in his environmental tactics.

Ye Qiu stayed with the grandfather and granddaughter for three days. Despite the spartan meals, or perhaps because of their simplicity, he spent a very happy time there.

On the fourth day, Ye Qiu bid farewell to the two, preparing to leave. Faced with parting, the little girl was reluctant to let go. Over these few days, she had formed a deep bond with Jin Yu and found it hard to say goodbye.

Jin Yu gently nuzzled the girl’s cheek with its head. Ye Qiu and Jin Yu slowly walked away, while the grandfather and granddaughter stood together, watching until Ye Qiu disappeared into the distance, the girl waving her arms with teary eyes.

The ordinary life of the past few days had a significant impact on Ye Qiu. Since leaving the mountains, although he had been reluctant to get overly involved in mundane affairs, being in the world sometimes made it inevitable to spend a lot of time on trifles.

But in this little corner of the desert, in a simple village without the distractions of the worldly taverns and kaleidoscopic chaos, life was at its simplest.

Sometimes Ye Qiu wondered if perhaps such a life was what many people sought after.

After leaving the village, Ye Qiu mounted Jin Yu’s back and instantly vanished into the sky.

Ye Qiu’s stay at the grandparent’s home was not in vain; he left behind two medicinal pills dissolved in the well water, hoping to keep them healthy and free from illness. As for money, while he did have plenty, Ye Qiu felt it was not suitable for the two, as he didn’t want to taint this rare pristine land with the smell of copper coins.

Let it remain as it is, quiet and simple.

Standing on Jin Yu’s back, Ye Qiu gradually saw the skyscrapers as he returned to the city, and his state of mind had undergone a significant change.

"Two months have passed, I wonder how the Capital City is now?" Ye Qiu murmured softly.
