Gulp——

Wu Liang swallowed hard.

He could be quite certain that everything he was seeing now wasn't an illusion, because all the Fierce Ghost Minions in the Ghost Compendium indicated that they too had discovered such beauty.

"The cave at the peak of Bogda Peak... leads to an unknown Immortal Realm?"

Wu Liang looked back at the nearly bottomless cave he had walked through for twenty minutes, then looked at the sunny outside.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he resolutely stepped out.

Since I'm here! How can I retreat?

The moment he stepped out of the cave, it seemed like he felt something unusual behind him, so he quickly turned back to check the cave's location.

Unexpectedly, this time he couldn't see anything, including the cave.

Behind him was just a thick stone wall integrated with the mountain, and knocking on it twice only produced a dull, heavy sound indicating there was no cave entrance anymore.

The way back was cut off, the only option was to move forward.

Reluctantly, he could only walk quickly downhill, looking at the scenery that was almost identical to what's recorded in "The Peach Blossom Spring"—"The fields and paths were crisscrossed, and the sound of chickens and dogs could be heard. Among them, people were coming and going, working in the fields. Their clothes were like those outside. Aged faces and toddler heads, all were happy and content."

Wu Liang went forward to try to communicate with the two children playing at the village entrance.

"Hello, kids, may I ask what village is this?" He tried to make his tone as gentle as possible.

With his inherently sunny and cheerful appearance, he believed he had some affinity.

Unexpectedly, the two kids glanced at Wu Liang and immediately ran towards the fields beside the village without looking back, as if they had seen some ghost that eats people.

They finally ran to a middle-aged woman not far away in view, babbling and flustering as they said something.

Because of Wu Liang's extraordinary physical qualities, he could hear the children's words clearly even from such a distance—

"Mom, a new big brother is here again."

"Mom, can he be our big brother? Before, Huang Mei's family got a sister, and I want a big brother too!"

Every word they said he could understand, but when put together, it was somewhat confusing.

What does getting a sister mean, and they want to allocate him as their big brother?

After hearing what the children said, the middle-aged woman who was bending down to plant rice in the field stood up straight, looked over in the direction of Wu Liang, and showed a surprised expression.

She quickly walked to the edge of the path, rinsed the mud off her hands with a bucket of water, and jogged to the village entrance.

Standing in front of Wu Liang, she said, somewhat out of breath, "Huff... child, don't be scared, we're just like you, people who accidentally entered this Taohua Village. I know you can't remember anything now, but it's okay, we were like this when we first came."

"I've sent my child to find the Saintess; she'll explain the situation to you."

The middle-aged woman rushed over and quickly said a bunch of things.

It was clear she seemed very worried about his state, with a tone that showed she was afraid of scaring him, constantly explaining the current situation, but due to a lack of eloquence, it sounded a bit chaotic.

But one thing Wu Liang understood—

She seemed to think he had lost his memory?

And it appeared that everyone in the village had lost their memory.

"Okay, okay, I know you're anxious, but please don't worry, why not sit down and have a drink to calm down?"

Wu Liang looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him, who was still flailing her arms trying to explain clearly, and couldn't help but speak to comfort her.

Once he said that, the middle-aged woman calmed down a bit.

She scratched her head awkwardly and said, "Sorry, my tongue is a bit tied, I don't know how to comfort you who just came in and lost your memory... Eh? Why do you seem not panicked at all?"

At this point, the middle-aged woman found it strange; why was it that now the roles seemed reversed, with him comforting her?

That's not right!

Whether it was herself back then or other newcomers she had seen, anyone who appeared at the village entrance and found they lost their memory would be quite panicked!

Back then, she almost fainted from fear, there was nothing like this calm and composed young man in front of her!

"Uh... why should I panic? Isn't it just memory loss? Accept what's come."

Wu Liang still didn't understand the situation in this village; after thinking it over, he decided to pretend he had lost his memory too, just not acting too foolish.

After a few words at the village entrance, those two children ran back out from inside the village, followed by an extraordinarily beautiful woman dressed simply with a hat casting shade.

Originally preparing to adjust his emotions and pretend to be amnesiac to make contact, Wu Liang looked up and froze when he saw the woman wearing the hat.

Seeing him standing there in a daze, the middle-aged woman turned to follow his gaze and saw her children leading the woman over.

She quickly waved and shouted, "Saintess Yao! Over here! Another child has come! His mental quality is quite good… Huh? Why are you crying again? Weren't you fine just now?"

When the woman briskly walked to the village entrance—

She removed her hat, her hair cascading like ink down her back, showing a kind smile on her face, her voice gentle as a breeze, softly saying, "Child, don't be afraid, Auntie is the Saintess here and the village chief, let's go inside and sit down, and we can discuss slowly, okay?"

Seeing Wu Liang with teary eyes, the woman thought he was still internally terrified by the amnesia.

She cautiously extended her soft, creamy hand, trying to hold his hand to lead him into the village to calm him down first.

"Okay!"

Wu Liang nodded with slightly reddened eyes, looking somewhat flustered as he wiped his tears, reached out his hand to hold hers, and followed her into the village.

After experiencing the fake Wu Xiaoyao Bionic Man, witnessing Ah Yimu's soul alignment with Yao Qingxue, now holding the hand and feeling a bit of warmth and that familiar breath—

This time Wu Liang could swear on his life, the Saintess Yao in front of him was definitely his mother, Yao Qingxue, who he hadn't seen for five years, whose life or death was unknown!

That blood connection couldn't be faked.

It just seemed that Yao Qingxue had also lost her memory, not showing any other emotions even after seeing him.

"Child, Auntie tells you, people here including me all forgot who we were when we first came. If you want to stay, Auntie can assign you housing and fields. You can live with us and slowly recall."

"If you want to leave, Auntie won't stop you, but it's best to rest well in the village before you go. It'll be lunchtime soon, you can eat at my house."

Yao Qingxue patiently and softly explained the situation to Wu Liang.

She also observed Wu Liang's expressions and emotions now and then, worried he was still very panicked.

This scene suddenly felt familiar to Wu Liang.

It seemed... in childhood, when returning to the old home, on that quiet path to Wangsheng Village, back then he wasn't even as tall as the surrounding shrubs.

His mother was holding his hand just like this, chatting while walking, occasionally looking back with the same sunny smile.

Wu Liang couldn't help but speak softly:

"Mom... I'll rescue you!"
