However, she had no choice but to slowly search, since she could not rush it. However, her master had to rest, and seeing that it was getting late, she hurriedly said, ”Master, it's been quite a few days already. Let's rest.” She was afraid that Shui Qinan would continue searching.

Shui Qinan nodded her head, thinking that it made sense. Coincidentally, there was a small town up ahead, so finding an inn to rest was good enough.

Shui Qinan and Zhu Er entered the city and found the nearest inn. This town looked small from a distance, and the inn wasn't too small either, so Shui Qinan wasn't picky about it, and directly decided to stay. She went into the next room, and when Shui Qinan opened the window to get some fresh air, she was suddenly stunned, and saw a young woman by the side of the street. A withered willow tree? Shui Qinan wondered if she had seen wrongly, and when she looked again, it was still the same.

As for a five to six-year-old boy beside him, he was also holding a willow tree that was several times bigger than him. However, he seemed to not be under any pressure and could easily take it away.

The two of them walked in the front and back, talking and laughing, as though what they were holding was not a willow tree, but a willow branch. Shui Qinan frowned, she was a little confused, but felt that there was something strange about this town.

Zhu Er saw that Shui Qinan was stunned and did not move from her position by the window. She felt that it was strange, what could actually cause her master to be stunned, Zhu Er was very curious and quickly ran over, but she was shocked.

”Master, she looks so thin. How can she move it?” Zhu Er opened her eyes wide, and said to Shui Qinan in disbelief.

Shui Qinan said: ”Let's go down and take a look.”

Zhu Er nodded her head. She was also very curious, but this place seemed to be very strange.

”It's fine, we'll just have to deal with it. This place is very strange, we have to figure it out, maybe it has something to do with Shenlong Island.” Shui Qinan did not want to miss out on any clues. After searching for so many days, she still could not find the entrance, so she could not delay it any further.

Zhu Er replied: ”Mn, I'll listen to Master.”

Shui Qinan nodded and smiled at her.

Shui Qinan and Zhu Er walked down the stairs and towards the two people. Shui Qinan had hidden her presence, causing the girl and child to not be able to find him, she raised her hand, and realized that the willow tree's weight was real. It was not an illusion or anything else.

However, Shui Qinan felt that something was very wrong, as if something was missing. Furthermore, there was a sense of unharmony as she looked around her. There were a few women holding hands with a few children, cute and soft boys.

There were children and women, and they were still lacking … Men, yes, men were missing.

The streets were bustling with activity as more and more people gathered. The bright lights of the lanterns lit up the horizon, reflecting the bright moon. It was especially lively.

Shui Qinan frowned, no man? Or were the men not on the street, at home? Most of them could understand at home, but not even one of them was enough. Even if the people weren't open-minded enough and had a lot of restrictions on women, there would still be women on the night market, so it was not impossible to see all of them. And even if the people weren't open-minded enough, there wasn't even a single adult male.

Shui Qinan was deep in thought, and did not notice what Zhu Er was doing. As sshe was leaving, he realized that Zhu Er was playing with a little boy by her side, but she did not see any adults guarding him.
