Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 193 Hope City

"Mr. Ye Qi! Can...can you please do me a favor?" The middle-aged man called Uncle Li by Yao Yingying said hesitantly.

"Uncle Li! This is our family matter, how can we trouble Mr. Ye Qi? What's more, he just saved our lives, we really shouldn't drag him into this mess!" Yao Yingying secretly tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to continue.

"But...Miss...now only Mr. Ye Qi can help us!"

"Although I don't know what Uncle Li is talking about, my two friends are still missing, and I really don't feel like caring about the Yao family's affairs. Let's say goodbye here. When I find my friends in the future, I will go visit them and thank Miss Yao for saving my life!"

Ye Qi turned around and left after saying this. It was not because he was cold-blooded, but just when he made his move, he found that Mu Lao had fallen into a deep sleep again. Without Mu Lao as his trump card, he could only act with a low profile. After all, the second level of Wu Ji Indestructible Realm was really not worth looking at in the Northern Wilderness where monsters and beasts were rampant!

However, although they left the Yao family's convoy, they still followed from a distance towards Hope City. After all, the area within a hundred miles was barren and there were not even any houses. Just as they saw on the map last night, the nearest populated place was Hope City!

After walking for nearly half a day, we finally arrived at Hope City at noon. At noon, this desert Gobi was filled with hot air waves that hit our faces, making our cheeks burn.

It is truly rare and precious that a girl as beautiful as Yao Yingying could be born in such extremely dry and hot weather.

"Have you heard? It seems the Yao family had some dispute with the snake people in the Tak Desert!"

"Of course I heard about it. It's all because of that Miss Yao!"

"Come to think of it, the Serpent People survive in this scorching desert. Every month they capture countless girls with cold constitutions and take them to that demonic lair. It's truly detestable!"

Just as Ye Qi was about to reach Hope City, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased. Listening to the conversations of those people also aroused Ye Qi's curiosity.

"Big brother, I just heard you talking about Miss Yao. Is that Miss Yao Yingying from the Yao family in Hope City?" Ye Qi walked up quickly and asked.

"Is there another Yao family in Hope City? Although the young lady of the Yao family has a noble status, she is only in this remote little place like Hope City. In the eyes of the snake people, her status is still not worthy of their attention!" The man looked at the kid who didn't even know the Yao family, and said with disdain.

"I just heard you say that the snake people capture human girls every month. What's going on?"

"The Snake People are naturally cold, but for some reason they are unable to leave the Tak Desert. This means they need humans with cold yin constitutions to absorb their yin and dispel their yang. This method is truly extremely vicious!"

The more the man spoke, the more excited he became. You have to know that there has been a hatred between the Snake People and the humans living in the Northern Wilderness that has been growing deeper and deeper for thousands of years. Just from every household, there is no telling how many girls have been abducted by the Snake People, and every girl sent back from the Snake People is either mentally retarded or insane.

Moreover, since the new Snake Queen came to power, her methods have become even more cruel and vicious. The people who have already suffered have to bear the new Queen's burgeoning ambition!

"The Snake People seem to have found a saint a few days ago. I heard she's from the human race and has an extremely cold body. If this saint can really completely solve the Snake People's problems, maybe they won't set their sights on us anymore!"

"Oh no! It's hard to say. Could it be that the Saint Lady could extinguish the sun that's like a huge furnace above her head? She's just another poor creature!"

As they talked, they no longer paid attention to Ye Qi and walked into the gate of Hope City while chatting. But at this time, Ye Qi's heart was surging like waves. The extremely cold body was rare in the world. It couldn't be such a coincidence. Le Qingqing had just disappeared, and the snake people found another human woman with an extremely cold body at the same time!

"It seems that I still need to go to the Yao family!" Ye Qi rubbed his head which was a little swollen from the sun and said to himself.

When I walked into Hope City, I found that the customs and folkways here seemed to be different from those in the outside world. In the towns of the northwest continent, it was rare to see merchants selling weapons on the sides of the road, but in Hope City, swords, spears, and halberds were sold everywhere, and there were even many weapons that I had never seen before!

Ye Qi couldn't help but be shocked. Are the people in the Northern Wilderness all like those described in the storybooks, brave and good at fighting, and also the kind of vicious and ferocious creatures?

While observing the local customs and practices along the way, I unknowingly arrived at the gate of the Yao family. Looking at the Yao family mansion, it was not as majestic as I had imagined. It was just a courtyard surrounded by stone walls. It was not as grand as the mansions of the wealthy families I had seen before!

"Who are you? If you come even a step closer to the Yao family, I'll kill you without mercy!"

Seeing Ye Qi observing the Yao family mansion furtively, the guards in front of the door became a little alert. After all, Hope City is not as safe as before recently.

Looking behind this calm surface, there are countless hidden undercurrents. Countless eyes are staring at the young lady of the Yao family. Once she shows up, I'm afraid that countless people will come out from some corner and kidnap her quietly!

Just because the Yao family expressed their refusal to let Miss Yao go to the snake people's lair, the snake people offered a high reward. Whoever can send Miss Yao here can fulfill his small wish which is not too excessive!

The oases in this desert are almost all occupied by the snake people. Every day, people lose their lives while trying to get water. If there is really a chance to help the snake people and get some special care, then these people with deep-rooted slave mentality will probably fight to do it!

This is also the reason why the Yao family guards are so sensitive now. But just when the two sides were about to have a fight, an uncle suddenly came out, ran over with excitement on his face and grabbed Ye Qi's arm.

"Mr. Ye Qi, you are finally here. My young lady is at home now, and the head of the family is also here. Now that you are here, we have hope!"

Seeing the excitement of the middle-aged man, Ye Qi's face was full of resistance. After all, everyone knew that once they stepped into the Yao family compound, they would be in trouble.

But now, there is finally trace of Miss Mu and Yue Qingqing. Contacting the snake people through Miss Yao can save a lot of trouble. After making up his mind, he finally followed the middle-aged man into the demon palace!

"Miss! Mr. Ye Qi is here!"
