Chapter 175 - 175 Can't Get Out
175 Can’t Get Out
Dong Xi retracted her hand and walked into the village, pretending that nothing had happened.
When the two old men saw Dong Xi return, they immediately went up and asked, “How is it? Fairy, can you go out?”
“I can’t get out,” Dong Xi shook her head.
When the two old men heard Dong Xi’s words, they immediately said anxiously, “What should we do? Even you couldn’t get out. Are you not a match for these monsters?”
Dong Xi did not say yes or no. She only said, “You guys sleep tonight, I’ll go out and take a look. Isn’t this thing supposed to attract children? I’m also a child.”
The two old men said worriedly, “Umm…”
The two old men started to worry. This little female Immortal did not look very old, but the age of this Immortal was usually a mystery. This female Immortal might be a few hundred years old.
As night fell, Dong Xi sat at the door, letting the moon shine on her body.
Fortunately, although this barrier could block people, it could not block spiritual energy.
Dong Xi began to cultivate when she suddenly heard laughter. Dong Xi opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.
She saw a little girl sitting by the well under the willow tree. She had two pigtails and looked to be seven years old.
When Dong Xi saw her, she smiled sweetly at her, and the willow tree swayed slightly as if there was a wind blowing.
The two of them were clearly far away, but Dong Xi could clearly hear the little girl’s voice. The little girl said, “Are you here to play with me?”
Dong Xi stood up and looked at the little girl. Dong Xi said, “That’s right. How do you want to play?”
The little girl said happily, “How about kicking a shuttlecock? I’m very good at kicking the shuttlecock!”
“Sure!” Dong Xi said.
The little girl jumped into the well and soon came back up with a shuttlecock.
Dong Xi played with the little girl for a long time. The little girl kicked the shuttlecock very badly and was no match for Dong Xi.
Seeing that the sky was almost bright, Dong Xi said, ” “You can’t beat me at all.”
“This is my first time kicking!” The little girl said angrily.
Dong Xi suddenly seemed to understand something. He looked at the little girl’s shadow under the moonlight and was very puzzled. Wasn’t there a shadow?
“You’re a ghost cultivator?” Dong Xi immediately asked.
“No, I’m not. I’m a demon!” The little girl shook her head.
Dong Xi thought about how the commoners had found Daoist priests to exorcise the ghosts, and how a little demon like this girl was more dedicated than ghosts.
“You can only come out to play at midnight?” Dong Xi asked with a frown.
“No,” the little girl shook her head. “It’s just that there’s no one to accompany me during the day. I only have someone to accompany me at night.”
Dong Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, “Tonight?” Someone’s playing with you?”
“That’s right,” the little girl said. “Ah Leng can only come out at night.”
Ah Leng? Who was it?
Dong Xi looked at the little girl and asked, “Where’s Ah Leng? Why didn’t I see her tonight?”
“Ah Leng is very shy, she doesn’t dare to meet strangers,” the little girl immediately said.
Dong Xi thought that the laughter at night must have come from the two of them playing at night.
“Since you already have someone to play with you, why did you call those children out?” asked Dong Xi.
“It’s more lively with more people!” the little girl immediately said.
There’s nothing wrong with what she was saying…
“Do you want to leave with me?” Dong Xi asked. “Here, these people are afraid of you. I have other friends at home, we can play together!”
The little girl shook her head and said with a sad expression, ” “I can’t leave this place.”
“Why can’t we leave?” Dong Xi asked.
The little girl sighed and said, “I am the demon born from this willow tree. Wherever the willow tree is, I will be there!”
Dong Xi thought for a moment and said again, “If I cut off a section of this willow branch, can you leave with me?”
“I don’t know!” The little girl shook her head.
“I’ll try,” Dong Xi said with a smile. “If it works, I’ll take you back. I have plenty of spiritual energy there and someone to play with you. It’ll definitely be better than here.”
The little girl was convinced by Dong Xi and agreed to try.
Dong Xi raised her hand and broke a section of the willow branch, then walked out with the branch.
When the young lady saw Dong Xi walk out so simply, she was also instantly stunned.
Why was she able to walk out?
The little girl followed her and found that she had also gone out.
The big willow tree behind her was getting further and further away. The little girl stopped, and she was confused.
Why did the barrier seem to have lost its effectiveness?
Dong Xi stopped and turned to look at the little girl. She found that the little girl was confused. Dong Xi said, “How is it? You’re out now!”
The little girl looked and murmured, “That’s impossible…”
