Chapter 174.2: Tree Valley (1/2)

He hastily rushed out and caught up with Shen Moru. “She has a fever. Do you have medicine?”

Seeing the anxiety on his face, Shen Moru laughed strangely. Then he pointed at the village in front and said, “Let’s go, there’ll be a doctor to treat her in the village.”

“Where is this place?” Only then did Mu Ye realize with surprise that they were next to a very desolate cliff. Below the cliff was black soil and rubble. It was the color of coal that had been burned by a fire. Black leaves hung off the few withered trees and located within the black area were houses made of stacked stone.

In the center of that village was an unbelievably large tree with lush, dark green leaves that seemed to cover the skies. It was completely incompatible with the surrounding dark, ashy environment. It gave the feeling that all the nutrients here had been absorbed by this large tree.

Shen Moru didn’t answer him and simply walked on.

Mu Ye was worried about Tang Doudou so he could only follow.

When they reached the village, he discovered that there were quite a lot of people in it.

They were all wearing the same black garment as Shen Moru. Regardless of whether they were young or old, male or female, they were all dressed in black and their facial features couldn’t be clearly made out.

Shen Moru led Mu Ye to the large tree in the center of the village. He sent out a palm strike and a long wooden ladder appeared from above. He jumped up and soon disappeared among the dense leaves.

Mu Ye also started climbing the ladder while carrying Tang Doudou.

The ladder went straight up along the tree trunk until it reached a point where three enormous tree branches diverged. There were simple wooden planks on it, and wrapped around the planks were vines that formed a large house. Shen Moru was standing at the entrance, and in front of him was an aged old lady wearing a black robe.

The two were originally talking but when they saw that Mu Ye had come up, the old grandma looked towards the two. Her eyes lacked white and were a terrifying sight.

She looked at Mu Ye for a long time. Her gaze seemed to sweep over Tang Doudou, then she spoke in a hoarse and unpleasant-sounding voice, “Come in.”

Mu Ye didn’t move and simply looked towards Shen Moru.

Shen Moru said, “Go in. Grandma Shen is a Sky Doctor Saint Envoy. She can cure her illness and treat her wounds.”

In a rare occasion, he didn’t make that eerie laughing sound. After he said this, he entered the house made from vines.

Grandma Shen was actually a Sky Doctor Saint Envoy?

A trace of astonishment flashed through Mu Ye’s eyes but it soon receded. He entered carrying Tang Doudou.

“Put her there!”

After Mu Ye entered, Grandma Shen spoke, pointing at the wooden plank in front of her.

Mu Ye glanced at Tang Doudou and saw that her face was currently an unhealthy red. Her body temperature was so high that even he was starting to feel hot. He hastily put her down on the ground.

“Leave,” said Grandma Shen.

Mu Ye frowned. Upon seeing this, Shen Moru said, “You won’t be able to help even if you’re here and will just end up affecting Grandma’s concentration.”

He still felt uneasy.

“It’s rare for me to do something with good intentions, don’t test my patience!” said Shen Moru, annoyed.
