Chapter 31 His intentions... are self-evident.
Xia Mo looked at her mother with her clear, big eyes and whispered, "Master said my progress is a bit slow and I need to stay in the mountains to cultivate properly and improve my progress."
“But my parents are worried,” Xia’s mother shook her head, she refused, so she looked at Xia’s father, hoping that he would also refuse.
Mr. Xia frowned and asked, "Can't we take it slowly?"
Xia Mo whispered to her father, "Master said that we have to get married at sixteen here. If I don't achieve any significant progress before sixteen and lose my virginity, it's equivalent to losing my cultivation, and my physical condition will be..."
She lied; she felt guilty.
She never intended to get married.
When Xia's parents thought about how weak Xia Mo had been before, unable to even take a step without being out of breath, and how she might have to return to that state after her powers were broken, they couldn't accept it!
Who would want their daughter to be weak if they could keep her healthy?!
“…Okay,” Xia’s father answered with difficulty, his lips moving slightly.
"Don't worry, I won't go into the deep mountains," Xia Mo immediately smiled sweetly at her parents, assuring them.
Xia's parents nodded.
They spoke softly, and even those helping in the yard, straining their ears, couldn't hear what Xia's father, mother, and mother, Xia Mo, were saying.
Brother Xia, Second Brother Xia, and Third Brother Xia were also some distance away and couldn't hear what Xia Mo and the others were saying, but they were all busy with their hands and looked at Xia Mo, hoping that Xia Mo could also talk to them.
“Remember, if a man deliberately gets close to you, as long as he gets within a foot of you, you don’t need to be polite,” Xia’s father whispered worriedly.
“Mmm,” Xia Mo nodded obediently.
Unbeknownst to Xia's father and the others, Xia Mo had already taken action against Zhao Chun, who had harbored malicious intentions, yesterday.
Xia Mo took the dry rations, waved to Xia's father and the others, and skipped and hopped towards the mountains and forests.
No sooner had we entered the mountains at the end of summer than a major event occurred in Anjia Village!
Covered in wounds and crippled, Zhao Chunfa was discovered by Wang Daniu in the mountains!
Zhao Chunfa's body was covered with bite marks from wild beasts.
Zhao Chunfa's family took him to the county clinic for treatment, but his condition is still unknown.
When Xia's father and the others heard that a wild beast had appeared, their hearts tightened with fear, and they couldn't help but worry about Xia Mo, who had gone into the mountains.
Xia's father and the others wanted to put aside what they were doing and go into the mountains to find Xia Mo, but the sixty taels of compensation that had been withheld made them dare not act on their own!
Xia's mother ran to find the villagers who had found Zhao Chunfa by the mountainside to ask about the situation.
In Wang Daniu's yard—
It was Wang Daniu who found Zhao Chunfa at the border between the low mountain area and the high mountain area, and brought the dying Zhao Chunfa out of the low mountain area.
When asked by Xia's mother, Wang Daniu replied, "Chunfa overestimated himself and ran into the deep mountains. There are wild beasts there. It's lucky that he escaped with his life and didn't get eaten by them."
Xia Mo probably didn't expect that when she told the wolves not to eat people, the wolves actually didn't eat Zhao Chunfa, and even dragged Zhao Chunfa out of the deep mountains!
"Oh, I see. I'll head back now," Xia's mother waved goodbye to Wang Daniu and left.
When Xia's mother heard this, she felt a little relieved knowing that Xia Mo wouldn't go deep into the mountains. She brought the news home to Xia's father and his family so that they could also feel at ease.
Watching Xia's mother's departing figure, Wang Daniu still had a question in his mind: yesterday he saw Zhao Chunfa following Xia Mo into the mountains.

Late summer here...
Xia Mo first entered the low mountain area in front of the villagers, then used his divine sense to clear a path, ran around, and left, heading directly towards the county town.
Xia Mo was fast; what would take others 45 minutes to walk a kilometer, she could cover in half an hour.
Xia Mo did not enter the county town. He disguised himself, concealed his face, and only revealed a pair of indifferent eyes. He bypassed the county town and entered the official road to Anning Prefecture.
When there was no one on the official road, Xia Mo would run along it. Although the official road had potholes, it was still faster than running in the mountains and forests.
If there were people on the official road, she would try to run in the woods beside the road, taking detours, but in general, she could not deviate from the official road.
She was unfamiliar with the road and was afraid of straying off the main road, getting lost, going in the wrong direction, and wasting even more time.
Using her divine sense to clear a path, Xia Mo successfully avoided everyone's sight.
Outside the city gate of Anning Prefecture—
The city walls of Anning Prefecture were three zhang high. When the gates were opened, soldiers holding spears stood on both sides, watching people come and go with serious expressions.
If they find anyone hiding, the soldiers will use spears to stop them and force them to show their face.
Frowning at the end of summer.
When entering Anping County, the yamen runners guarding the county gates wouldn't conduct such thorough checks.
Xia Mo couldn't let anyone in the city see her; if she were recognized, things would be very difficult for her.
Xia Mo's divine power can temporarily shroud her face in an illusion, but at first glance, others will still see her as herself. Only after harboring evil thoughts will they see her differently on the second occasion.
She can't change her face directly!
How could this possibly stump her?
Xia Mo concealed his aura, circled around to the deserted city wall, used his divine sense to explore the way, and then used a thin rope, invisible to the naked eye, condensed from his divine sense to climb up the city wall and enter the city!
After entering Anning City at the end of summer, I walked briskly through the city.
Anning City has many bustling streets. When Xia Mo extended her divine sense to gather information, she also recorded the routes she had taken.
Some people are curious why Xia Mo was covered up and only her eyes were visible, but the fact that Xia Mo was able to enter the city means that the cover was removed before she entered the city, so there must have been a flaw on her face, right?
In late summer, I found a highly recommended medical clinic.
Xia Mo came in with her head covered, and the doctors, apprentices, and waiters at the pharmacy just glanced at her before continuing with their own busy work.
"Go queue up. The one who judges by appearance is Dr. Lin. Although he's young, he has a family secret recipe for treating skin problems," the apprentice told Xia Mo, pointing out the way.
Xia Mo nodded to the young apprentice and joined the queue at Dr. Kobayashi's consultation table.
Dr. Kobayashi was handsome, with a scholarly air about him. He was fair-skinned and delicate, and those in front of him were all young and vibrant girls.
His intentions... are self-evident.
Dr. Kobayashi's team moved very quickly.
Those girls weren't there for a medical consultation at all; they were just using the opportunity to see Dr. Kobayashi.
In late summer, I treated myself as a spectator, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
Summer's turn came soon after.
Dr. Kobayashi breathed a long sigh of relief; finally, someone had actually come to see him.
Dr. Kobayashi didn't know that Xia Mo wasn't actually there for a consultation.
Xia Mo asked in a low voice, "Could we meet somewhere? Can we talk privately?"
After some thought, Dr. Kobayashi assumed that Xia Mo had a problem with her face and didn't want others to see it. He nodded confidently and replied, "I understand. There's a consultation room in the back. Come in with me."
Dr. Kobayashi then beckoned to the younger apprentice, asking him to stay by her side, since it wouldn't be right for a man and a woman to be alone in a small room.
The girls who admired Dr. Kobayashi didn't pay much attention when they saw him leading the patients to the small room.
after all……
The fact that Xia Mo covered her face like that shows that the problem with her face is very serious and unsightly. Even if Dr. Kobayashi is a doctor, he wouldn't be interested in such an ugly face, right?
