Is This Ok?

"Night Emperor?"

Ning Ruirui fell into a state of confusion for a moment when she saw these two words. It was really incongruous that such a remote snowy village had such a domineering name.

"Hey, beauty, can you recognize the words above?" The old man in the bamboo hat showed a surprised expression.

Ning Ruirui asked curiously: "Don't you know how to read?"

"Haha, I really can't read." The old man in the bamboo hat chuckled, with a meaningful look on his face: "But, there may not be words on this sign."

Ning Ruirui didn't understand: "Grandpa, if it's not a word, then what is it?"

"Nothing, it was just carved by a tourist. This place is actually called Snow Hidden Village." The old man in the bamboo hat did not explain, but asked Ning Ruirui again: "Beauty, are you sure you want to go into the village to take a look?"

"Of course." Ning Ruirui nodded. "I have a friend who may have also gone to your village. I must find her."

The old man in the bamboo hat then laughed and said, "Your friend was probably called by Aunt Mei to go fishing by the lake."

"Huh?" Ning Ruirui asked in surprise, "Since there is a lake in your village, why do you still go fishing by Qinyue Lake?"

"Did I go fishing?" The old man in the bamboo hat was stunned for a moment, then he looked down at the fishing rod in his hand and laughed dryly: "Oh, yes. I am old and my memory is not good. The fish in the Qinyue Lake outside are tastier. Although the lake in the village comes from the same source as that lake, the fish are not tasty and I am tired of eating them."

When Ning Ruirui heard this, she became even more suspicious that Yang Shan might have been tricked into coming to this village: "Then can I go see the lake in your village?"

"Go ahead and see if you want to. It's right over there." The old man in the bamboo hat had no objection and pointed in a direction. "It's right over there. If your friend really did accidentally turn into the village, she should be over there. Take her away when you find her. Don't talk to anyone."

Ning Ruirui saw that the old man spoke so seriously and knew that there must be some hidden secret, but she suppressed her curiosity, thanked him, and then walked into the village.

The village is quite remote, with only a few thatched houses and some snow caves.

What’s strange is that there are almost no people in the village.

But Ning Ruirui clearly felt several strange gazes coming from all directions, with inexplicable meanings that made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Ning Ruirui subconsciously felt that this village should have some mysterious connection with Qinyue Lake, but she had no clue at the moment.

The most urgent task is to find the missing Yang Shan and then find out what is going on in this village.

Not long after walking, Ning Ruirui indeed saw a lake. It didn't look big, probably only one-tenth the size of Qinyue Lake, but its shape was almost exactly the same, like a crescent moon, but in the opposite direction.

Ning Ruirui indeed saw several figures standing by the lake, so she quickened her pace and walked over.

Yang Shan was fishing by the lake with a fishing rod, looking very serious.

There was a woman sitting next to him, it was Han Lexin, and she was also focused.

"Yang Shan, you are here after all." Ning Ruirui of course recognized Yang Shan and called out directly.

But Yang Shan did not respond. Her beautiful eyes stared at the calm lake without blinking, as if she did not hear Ning Ruirui's words.

"Um?"

There was something obviously wrong with Yang Shan, and Ning Ruirui reached out to touch her.

"Don't move. If you touch her like this, you will kill her." At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Ning Ruirui was startled and looked sideways, and suddenly found someone standing next to her. She looked like an elderly woman.

It's just that she was wearing a straw raincoat and had a very tall figure, so Ning Ruirui subconsciously mistook her for a tree at first.

"Who are you?"

Ning Ruirui became alert and immediately grasped the Liuyun Iron Blade with her left hand, looking coldly at the woman who was like a tree.

"Who are you and how did you get in?" The woman in the straw raincoat just stared at Ning Ruirui, her tone a little gloomy: "There is a formation at the entrance of the Hidden Snow Village. Unless someone from the village leads the way, it is impossible to get in."

"A kind old man brought me in." Ning Ruirui replied.

The woman in the straw raincoat suddenly showed a look of enlightenment on her face: "It's that nosy old man again. Sooner or later, I'll have to deal with him."

Ning Ruirui pointed at Yang Shan: "She is my friend. I want to know what you did to her and the other woman."

"Hey, beautiful lady, you don't have to be nervous." The woman in the straw raincoat grinned, revealing her black teeth. She then took out a fishing rod from her straw raincoat and handed it to her: "Go fishing. It can calm your mind."

Ning Ruirui was not fooled by this and understood something immediately: "They became like this because they used your fishing rod, right?"

"You can say that." The woman in the straw raincoat did not deny it. She just flicked the fishing rod into the lake. "But what's wrong with fishing? I like fishing very much because it's quiet enough and I have enough time to think about many problems. I can also wait for the fish to bite. It's really wonderful."

Ning Ruirui said coldly: "Do you know what you are doing? Do you know who they are? Have you ever thought about the consequences of kidnapping them here?"

"You have too many questions, which means you are restless. Why don't you go fishing?" The woman in the straw raincoat smiled and suggested again, "Just sit there and I will help you put on the bait. I guarantee you will catch a big and good fish."

Ning Ruirui refused directly: "I have no interest in fishing. They are my friends. I'd better let them go, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."

"Beauty, you think too much." The woman in the straw raincoat shook her head helplessly, "They sat down voluntarily and picked up the fishing rods voluntarily. I didn't force them. You can take them away anytime."

After saying that, he paused for a few seconds and looked at Ning Ruirui provocatively: "If you can take it away."

"What on earth do you want to do?" Ning Ruirui was not Xia Tian. She did not get excited after just one or two words of provocation. Instead, she became calmer: "What good will this do for you?"

The woman in the straw raincoat listened to this, her eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife, and she said threateningly: "Knowing this will not do you any good. If you don't want to stay here forever, you still have time to leave now."

"Of course I'm leaving, but I want to take my friend with me." Ning Ruirui was not afraid of the threat and directly retorted: "No matter what you want to do, if you set your sights on my friend, you're courting death."

"Just you?" The woman in the straw raincoat sneered and shook her head in boredom: "You are no match for me, so don't humiliate yourself."

Ning Ruirui said calmly: "I really want to try, if I defeat you, they will be fine."

"Who knows? Maybe." The answer of the woman in the straw raincoat was ambiguous, but her attitude was extremely contemptuous. It was obvious that she did not believe that Ning Ruirui had this ability.

Ning Ruirui was not polite either. She kicked her foot and quickly flashed in front of the woman in the straw raincoat and slapped her on the chest.

"Not bad." The woman in the straw raincoat nodded in appreciation, and dodged until the palm wind was about to touch the corner of her clothes.

When she moved, her body was like water, creating a series of ripples.

In just a blink of an eye, the person was gone.

"Um?"

Ning Ruirui couldn't help feeling a little surprised. She suddenly felt motionless, and then she felt something flying towards her left, and her body subconsciously tilted slightly.

“Bang!”

I saw a thumb-sized drop of water explode in the air, splashing countless water bubbles.

These water bubbles are extremely powerful, and each drop is like a bullet. If Ning Ruirui had not dodged in time, she might have been pierced with several holes by now.

"You managed to dodge it. You're pretty good." The woman in the straw raincoat stood directly on the calm lake, as if she was standing on a mirror, with a comfortable expression on her face.

Ning Ruirui frowned, feeling that this woman's strength might be above hers.

At least so far, she hasn't been touched by a single piece of the other person's clothes, but the other person almost killed her just now.

"Do you want to continue?" The woman in the straw raincoat smiled faintly, raised her hand and picked up a dozen water droplets from the lake. "How many can you bear? How fast can you go? And this whole lake can be used by me."

Ning Ruirui is not the kind of person who would simply escape when things go wrong. Instead, she likes to face challenges head-on and then overcome all difficulties and obstacles.

“Come again!”

This time, Ning Ruirui walked quickly around the lake, looking for an opportunity to find the flaw of the woman in the straw raincoat.

During this time, she tried to run straight to the water surface, but was blocked by the woman in the straw raincoat who raised her hand and created a curtain of water.

After several attempts, they still could not reach the surface of the lake.

"Hehe, I'm doing useless work again."

The woman in the straw raincoat shook her head and raised her hand, and the ten water droplets shot towards Ning Ruirui.

"How do you know if it works if you don't try?" Ning Ruirui stopped suddenly, twisted her body, and changed direction to avoid the water droplets.

"How many times can you hide?"

The woman in the straw raincoat remained calm and composed. She kept moving the water droplets with her hands, looking leisurely and carefree, as if she was having fun with Ning Ruirui.

Ning Ruirui felt that the situation was not going to be good if this continued. She would never be able to get close to that woman, let alone pose any substantial threat to her.

However, she did not gain nothing.

At least we know one thing, that the woman's support is the lake in front of her, or it is the lake that is truly powerful, not the woman in the straw raincoat.

As long as we can find a way to trick her out of the lake, it will be easy to capture her.

It seems that I still have to use the Liuyun Iron Blade.

Ning Ruirui reached into her bosom and took out the sword pill. Her body was still moving quickly, looking for the right time to attack.

"Don't waste time." The woman in the straw raincoat became a little impatient. Suddenly, she clasped her hands together. Suddenly, more than a dozen water columns as thick as arms rose from the surface of the lake and sprayed towards Ning Ruirui. The water droplets were like machine guns.

"ah!"

Ning Ruirui failed to dodge in time and was hit. She groaned in pain and fell towards the lake.

This time, the woman in the straw raincoat did not summon the water curtain. She just curled up the corners of her mouth slightly and looked at Ning Ruirui with contempt as she fell towards the lake.

"Right now."

Ning Ruirui injected spiritual energy into the sword pill.

"call out!"

All I saw was a cloud passing through the sky.

Before the woman in the straw raincoat could come to her senses, she was cut into two halves by the clouds.

Ning Ruirui was overjoyed. The Liuyun Iron Blade was indeed a magical weapon and it worked again.

“Bang!”

The next second, the body of the woman in the straw raincoat collapsed into a pool of water and merged with the surface of the lake.

"Is this possible?"

Ning Ruirui couldn't help but look stunned and stood there in a daze.

In this moment of hesitation, a curtain of water rose up and dragged her directly into the lake.
