Didn’t feel any change. Still decided to deal with the willow tree first.
Tree spirit strangulation, but now it is still alive. His Divine Sense found a green crystal in the roots; it should be the willow tree’s Demon Core, which, once he took it out, caused the willow tree to pletely lose its vitality.
The village was already in chaos, more than half of the escort agency was dead or injured, and the Che Family was also affected. Now, houses had collapsed, and the surviving people were standing outside, dazed.
Earlier, they saw the tree roots penetrating people’s bodies, and in a moment, the people were shriveled.
Many people started to cry, seeing their family members lying lifeless on the ground.
Qi Xuan instantly returned to where he was staying. Now, only the girl and the little boy were left there.
Xiao Wan saw Qi Xuan and said, "Benefactor, why didn’t you e earlier? Then my grandparents wouldn’t have died."
What could Qi Xuan say? Looking at the two elderly people dead on the ground, he was puzzled. Was it his fault? Was it his negligence that caused such casualties?
Outside, the sounds of crying made Qi Xuan’s mind even more chaotic.
Xiao Wan saw that the benefactor’s face kept changing, sometimes appearing as the benefactor and sometimes as an indescribably handsome man.
Qi Xuan’s current mental state was unstable, with his mind in conflict.
Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation.
As a man, he understood this feeling.
Recalling the inhalation of the smoke emitted by the willow tree, he realized he had been affected.
He tried to use Spiritual Power to control it, but it was useless, and this made him anxious.
Despite being a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, he couldn’t control this sensation?
Now, he had reverted to his true appearance, and Xiao Wan was very surprised—was this truly the benefactor or an impostor?
Qi Xuan’s Spiritual Power within was running wild. He gritted his teeth and suppressed it, clutching a Detoxification Pill, given by his Second Brother, believing it would be effective.
After taking it, it had no effect. Qi Xuan furrowed his brows; now, he couldn’t use Spiritual Power. Luckily, this was the Mortal World.
At this time, the surviving villagers also reacted and visited other households and saw the situation here.
"Young man, who are you? How could someone be so handsome?"
Qi Xuan opened his mouth, "I am a guest staying here. My previous appearance was fake."
"I see, young man, did you witness what just happened?"
"Yes, the willow tree became a demon."
"That’s right. Young man, since you are staying here, help bury Uncle Wu and others, they have no descendants."
"Sure. May I ask where to bury them?"
"At the ancestral grave at the west end of the village."
"May I ask the elder’s names so I can erect a tombstone?"
It’s imperative to settle things here to avoid any karma.
The villagers left. At this time, Xiao Wan, pulling her brother, also came over. "Benefactor, what about my grandparents?"
They had just seen the benefactor appear suddenly and heard tales of immortals, thinking the benefactor must be the flying immortal they spoke of.
Qi Xuan sighed; this was part of his karma, so be it. "How far is it to your home?"
"Grandpa said it’s still ten days away."
"I’ll settle the two elders. Upon returning, I’ll escort you home."
"Thank you, benefactor."
Found a coffin in the woodshed; Qi Xuan could still use small spells. Soon, the two elders were buried by him, and tombstones were erected, ending the karma here.
Upon returning, he saw two Ghost Messengers collecting souls.
No one would know his situation.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Friend, you should leave here quickly."
"Yes, thank you both."
Qi Xuan collected the grandparents of Xiao Wan into the Storage Bag. He released the Flying Boat and gathered all their belongings, allowing them to board the Flying Boat. Once he escorted them back, he would immediately return to the Cultivation World.
The speed of the Flying Boat was incredibly fast; Qi Xuan used his Divine Sense to control the boat while he returned to his room to meditate, not bothering with the siblings.
Xiao Wan and her brother were both deeply saddened, having lost their grandparents and now only having each other.
"Sister, I’m scared."
"Don’t be afraid, Xiao Xun. We have an immortal escorting us home; once we reach the hometown, we’ll live on our own. Grandma said if we return, we’ll definitely have a good life."
Before dawn, they arrived at the location they mentioned.
Qi Xuan put down the carriage, the siblings, and their grandparents’ corpses, intending to leave.
"Benefactor, please, save us pletely, escort us home."
"That’s your own matter." Now, suppression was very difficult.
Xiao Wan pulled her brother to kneel. "Benefactor, please."
Qi Xuan furrowed his brows, truly having no choice.
He collected the Flying Boat, and now others couldn’t see his face clearly, something he could still achieve.
Following them into the village, there was the Dong Family’s house, which remained unoccupied.
Most villagers bore the surname Dong. Although the two children did not know anyone, they recognized the couple in the carriage.
The village chief came over and understood the situation, immediately arranging for someone to bury the two elders. They donated some money to the village each year, which was a form of gratitude to them.
Because of the weather, no rituals were held, and at night, the two elders were buried in the Dong Family’s ancestral grave.
Qi Xuan silently followed along, without saying a word.
Even so, Xiao Wan felt secure.
The house had been unoccupied for years, yet each year someone would clean it, making tidying relatively easy.
Xiao Xun, due to fear and also having stayed awake all yesterday night and today, fell asleep quickly.
Qi Xuan, seeing everything was fine, was about to leave.
Xiao Wan knelt in front of him, bowing, "Thank you, benefactor, your great kindness will never be forgotten."
Qi Xuan hurriedly dodged. Wanting to release the Flying Boat, he found his Spiritual Power seemingly unusable, and that feeling was even stronger.
He knew he was truly trapped this time. His hands seemed to tremble.
"Thankful to me?"
Xiao Wan did not rise, "Yes, grateful to the benefactor."
"Then offer yourself to me."
Xiao Wan paused for a moment, "Benefactor."
"Yes or no."
Xiao Wan lowered her head, "Yes."
Qi Xuan, one could say, grabbed her and took her into the room, throwing down a Second-tier Array Plate. Now, he had no ability to resist.
Now, nothing else mattered. Xiao Wan also noticed his abnormality.
Qi Xuan had been pampered growing up; this situation left him speechless.
Xiao Wan, being a girl, did not understand such matters.
Qi Xuan also lacked experience entirely; however, men are ultimately different.
After the first time, Qi Xuan felt somewhat recovered, yet the burning sensation hadn’t dissipated.
Looking at the girl beneath him, now unconscious, he controlled the Spiritual Spring Water, giving her a drink. Once she awoke again, Qi Xuan started once more.
Xiao Wan felt her body relaxed significantly... unaware of how much time had passed, she slipped into sleep again.
Qi Xuan had now fully dispelled the burning sensation.
