Chapter 692 Integration (1)

“Wow, your courtyard is actually so well made.”

Seeing the situation in the courtyard, the widow could not help but exclaim, “As expected of a young master from outside. His taste is indeed different.”

Datou also said in admiration, “Brother Song, you know how to lead a good life.”

“I just stayed here. There’s nothing to eat. I’ll treat the two of you to a glass of wine and some fruits.”

Song Shi took out the spirit fruits and spirit wine he had plundered from the Black Wind Sect’s treasure vault and poured a cup for the two of them by the pool. The rich fragrance of the wine filled the air, causing the two of them to sniff.

“Good wine.”

“The fruit is not ordinary either. Young Master Song is really bold.”

Although the ones Song Shi took out were the worst and were considered treasures to the widow and Datou,

Datou scratched his head. “I’m so sorry. I’m just doing some rough work and eating such precious things.”

“Since I took it out, I’m treating you guys to a meal, not for you to see. If you mind, you can widen the path.”

Song Shi raised his wine glass. “I’ll drink. You guys can do whatever you want.”

“Young Master Song is really straightforward. I, Xu Hongniang, offer you a toast.”

The widow picked up her wine glass and downed it in one gulp. Her cheeks flushed red, making her look exceptionally delicious.

“It won’t be a problem to build a stone path for you, let alone widen it.”

Datou smiled and drank. When he felt the good stuff in the wine, he became even happier. “If Brother Song has any needs in the future, just call me.”

“You two can tell me about your situation. You’re not born and bred here, right?”

Song Shi pointed at the spiritual fruits and ate one himself.

The widow pursed her lips and smiled. She tasted the spiritual fruit and the abundant energy she obtained made her smile even stronger. “We can’t compare to you, Young Master Song. We all live a hard life and can’t survive outside. We’re tired of fighting and killing, so we stayed away from people and found a place to hide and enjoy our old age. Perhaps the location here is special. Over the years, many people have accumulated and formed such a village.”

Song Shi nodded. “This place is indeed remote, and the environment is not bad. I only stayed because of this.”

“That’s right. Although this place can’t compare to the blessed lands of those famous sects, it’s still a good cultivation place. Especially the concentration of Spiritual Qi here is alright for cultivators like us. Even if we don’t go and obtain cultivation resources, there won’t be any regression in our cultivation.”

Datou, or to be precise, Tie Datou, looked satisfied. “Especially since I can eat such good things today. It’s simply an unexpected surprise.”

“In that case, there should be some people from this village who are outsiders and some who are born and raised here.” Song Shi said casually.

“That’s right. I heard that a thousand years ago, someone lived in seclusion here and more or less left behind some descendants. Among those children, other than orphans, they were all born and raised here.”

Xu Hongniang took another sip of wine. “Let me tell you how I came here. I came here because I was heartbroken by a man and was tired of the mortal world.”

“Keep lying. You’re the one who jinxed many husbands to death and forced them away by other families.”

Tie Datou exposed her.

Xu Hongniang snorted coldly and exposed his shortcomings. “It’s better than an unlucky person like you who forges and sells weapons for the rebels. When you encounter the officials, you’ll be wanted by them.”

“I was deceived.” Tie Datou looked depressed.

“If they can’t deal with my fate and are jinxed to death, what does that have to do with me?”

Xu Hongniang pursed her lips and smiled at Song Shi. “Young Master, you look very powerful. Why don’t we get married? I won’t be called a widow by them in the future.”

Song Shi pursed his lips. “I’m not interested.”

The widow scratched her head and said seductively, “Don’t be in a hurry to reject me. Even if we’re not interested, we can still have children when we’re together. It’s more convenient to have another mistress usually.”

“That’s right. It’s meaningless to talk too much.” Song Shi waved his hand and poured wine for Xu Hongniang. “Continue telling me about the situation in your village.”

The two of them did not hide anything and said what they should say and what they should not say.

In short, half of the natives in this village were outsiders. The natives all had inheritances and their strength was not bad. Such people usually went out on adventures. If they had achievements, they might stay outside. There were also people who came back to retire, such as the old man who picked feces.

Some of these people had never gone out and had limited knowledge. Those who came back after going out were usually more powerful.

The other half were people from the outside world. They came here to live in seclusion for various reasons. For example, some of them had too many enemies and were hunted down by them. They hid their identities here.

There were also some who had indeed seen through the mortal world, but they did not want to become monks. Then, they would escape into the forest to retire and wait for death.

Be it outsiders or those who wanted to go out, there was a rule that had to be followed.

That meant that after coming, they had to keep a low profile and prohibit killing. Even if there was a grudge outside, those who went out were not allowed to reveal the situation of the village. This ensured the concealment and safety of the village.

Song Shi was very satisfied with this method. The people here were all capable and could ensure that the village would not be directly destroyed because of some natural and man-made disasters.

He should be able to stay here for a long time. Usually, he did not need to solve any trouble.

“You said you’re already married. Where’s your wife? Didn’t she come with you?”

Xu Hongniang was curious.
