At this moment, the cold divine sense of the ancient tree at the village entrance transmitted once more into Chu Mo's sea of consciousness: "Outsider, do not meddle in our affairs. In this world, no matter how powerful you are, if you offend our Tree Monster clan, you will not be able to leave!"

Chu Mo took a deep breath, truthfully, he really didn't want to deal with this matter anymore. These ignorant people did not understand what they were facing. If not for this woman being here, how many people would still be left in their village?

Chu Mo no longer wanted to say anything to the elderly village elder, he looked at the young wife and seriously said: "If I told you that it is because of your existence that your original village didn't encounter any disasters, and similarly, it is also because of your presence that this Xiaohe Village has remained peaceful, would you believe it?"

The woman's face instantly showed a look of disbelief.

As for the other villagers of Xiaohe Village, they were even more incredulous.

That's ludicrous!

They hadn't fully explained to Chu Mo just how ominous this woman was!

The elderly elder also stared blankly at Chu Mo: "Young outsider, do you know that in her parents' village, one hundred and thirty-six people all died except for her!"

The ugly-faced old crone, who had just treated her wounds, with a somewhat pale face, couldn't help but say: "Before she came to our Xiaohe Village, our village was also very peaceful! But not long after she got married, her husband was killed by her..."

At that moment, Chu Mo glanced over with a very cold look.

The old crone sheepishly corrected herself: "Her husband died."

"How did he die?" asked Chu Mo.

"His body, there wasn't a single injury!" the elderly elder took over.

Chu Mo thought it over and said, "Before this, such incidents never happened, right?"

The elderly elder nodded: "Never before!"

"How old is this village?" Chu Mo asked.

The elderly elder pondered then said, "I have lived over twenty thousand years this year, this village... has existed for countless years!"

Over twenty thousand years, Chu Mo inwardly marveled, truly not of the mortal realm! True mortals only have a life expectancy of less than a hundred years, let alone tens of thousands of years? But to the people here, such a lifespan is normal. The world is different, and naturally, the understanding of the world is different too.

"Then, that old tree at the village entrance, how long has it existed? Has it been there as long as the village?" Chu Mo asked indifferently.

That cold divine sense transmitted once again, this time, the divine sense was filled with a tyrannical aura: "Outsider, are you courting death?"

Already somewhat infuriated!

Chu Mo was completely unmoved, talking to the elder as if he was merely chatting.

The elderly elder respectfully said, "The Tree God is the guardian deity of our Xiaohe Village, on this land, each village entrance has such a guardian deity! If it weren't for the guardian deity, we villagers would have been devoured by wild beasts long ago!"

Guardian deity?

Chu Mo coldly sneered in his mind, internally commenting: If there were no such 'guardian gods,' your lives might actually be a bit better.

The elderly elder regarded Chu Mo sternly, "Please do not cast your doubtful gaze towards our guardian deity, young man, no matter what you want to do. We will not support you, except for one thing..." he said, pointing at the woman: "Take her away."

Chu Mo looked sympathetically at the elderly elder, a being of the Supreme Realm! In the outside world, already a supremely powerful being. But here, so ignorant. Truly lamentable.

"If I take her away, your village will face a great disaster," Chu Mo earnestly said; he was still making an effort.

Saving people also depends on fate. No one can save a person who is determined to die.

The elderly elder stubbornly said: "As long as you take her away, from then on, any matters will be unrelated to you!"

Having said this much, Chu Mo had already made himself very clear. He believed that the elderly elder and the people of Xiaohe Village could also hear that he was doubting the Tree God. But even so, they still stuck to their views. There was nothing more to say.

Chu Mo looked at the woman and gently smiled, "I indeed lack someone by my side to take care of my daily meals, I wonder if sister is willing?"

Not calling her 'sister-in-law' anymore!

Calling a married woman 'sister-in-law' is a matter of etiquette. But Chu Mo had already seen that the best thing for this woman now is to completely forget her past. Calling her 'sister-in-law,' she might continually remember her past.

As for how to settle this woman later, Chu Mo has not thought of it yet. But, a Quasi-Supreme being of great power who has never systematically cultivated! And possessing a Fire Phoenix Dao Realm physique... Such a person is definitely considered a prodigy. Once she starts cultivating, her progress will surely be terrifying.

She'd live better anywhere than here!

Moreover, if she stays here, she'll either be bullied to death sooner or later or die depressed. It would be better to take her to see the outside world.

The young widow looked at Chu Mo hesitantly. She stayed in this little river village for only two reasons: one was that she had nowhere else to go, and the other was that she wanted to be close to her deceased husband because she loved that man. She thought about being able to visit him at any moment. But for the past year, the people of the little river village had become increasingly harsh. They no longer allowed her to worship her deceased husband, claiming she would bring bad luck to the entire village's cemetery.

At this point, Chu Mo continued, "The outside world is more fascinating, but also full of dangers, and you could die at any moment. However, outside, no one will call you a harbinger of misfortune. If those significant figures see you... haha, they might even scramble to take you as their disciple."

The young widow looked at Chu Mo with a puzzled face; she didn't understand the meaning of his words. But one thing she was sure of—the way this handsome young man looked at her was only with sympathy and pity, devoid of any lust!

Completely different from those idlers in the village who secretly stared at her. Those idlers in the village, cursing her with their mouth, but in reality, the way they sneaked glances at her was filled with the filth that she didn't even want to think about!

The other villagers also watched the woman nervously. The main reason they hadn't forcibly driven her out was because her deceased husband had once been the most valiant youth in the village. He had brought many benefits to the people of the village!

She was his widow, naturally entitled to live in his house. Although they despised the woman immensely, considering her deceased husband, they only wanted to force her away. If she was willing to leave on her own, that would be for the best.

The woman looked at Chu Mo, life returning little by little to her eyes filled with despair, and she asked softly, "Is it true that no one will ridicule me outside?"

Chu Mo shook his head: "No, but the outside is very dangerous."

Yes, the outside world is like a Trial Field, of course it's dangerous!

Perhaps, this is also part of the Trial Field, equally full of danger.

The woman smiled faintly, speaking softly, "Actually, it's dangerous here too. I'm not afraid of danger. I just don't want to be ridiculed and insulted anymore."

Many people in the village showed a hint of guilt on their faces, but the ugly old woman and some middle-aged men remained expressionless, indifferent. In their eyes, this woman was a huge harbinger of misfortune; as long as she was willing to leave, then the village could later host a grand feast to celebrate her departure.

Chu Mo nodded and said, "Then, pack up your things and come with me."

The woman nodded slightly and agreed.

At this moment, the villagers gathered around, including the very old man, couldn't help but take a deep breath! Their faces revealed a relieved expression, filled with joy.

The monstrous calamity in their hearts was finally leaving!

Finally leaving the village!

The ugly old woman even cried tears of joy.

Even the children hiding behind the adults let out an uncontrollable cheer.

The widow's face paled a bit; she remembered when her husband was alive, how much these children liked her, and how much she liked them, often making delicious food for them. How good those times were!

A self-mocking smile appeared on the widow's face, she said softly, "I don't have much to take with me, everything here, just leave it here."

"No, no, no, no..." the ugly old woman said loudly, "You should take everything that belongs to you with you, so we won't have to burn it later. We don't want to touch your things."

"..." Chu Mo's mouth twitched a few times, he looked at the old woman who has lived for at least a few thousand or ten thousand years at the peak of the Quasi-Supreme Realm, really feeling the urge to smack her a few times. In his heart, he thought, forget it, you are digging your own graves, really can't blame anyone else.

Through Fengshui Divine Art, he deduced many things. The ancient tree at the village entrance, the reason it hadn't acted before, was because the energy here... wasn't that intense yet! At the moment it wanted to act, this woman came over. It has been suppressed until today.

Actually, that tree, more than anyone in the entire village, wanted this widow to get out quickly.

The widow paused, then lowered her head and walked towards a house, silently going back to pack her things.

At this time, the old man with a deep gaze gave Chu Mo a meaningful look, didn't say much, and turned to leave with his walking stick.

The other people also dispersed in twos and threes, and in the end, only a few people remained, wanting to watch these two people leave with their own eyes for peace of mind.

After a short while, the widow came walking slowly with a bundle. She took one last look at the house she had lived in for several years, then looked towards the direction of the village cemetery. She really wanted to see her husband one last time. But she understood; those people would not allow her to go. She didn't cry anymore, but chose to let the tears flow inside her heart.

Chu Mo looked at her and said meaningfully, "Want to see your husband one last time? Don't hurry, it won't be long before you can come back to see him, and no one will stop you then."
