Chapter 191 People from the outside world
(Don’t hold out too much hope, the subsequent development may be a bit fast, and may not be what you imagine.)
Chen Xuan woke up again and found himself lying on a bed with someone covering him with a quilt.
"It's strange, where is this? Am I not dead?" He sat up and looked at the layout of the room, the brown wooden door and paper windows, which resembled ancient decorative styles.
Chen Xuan couldn't understand. He was ambushed outside the Star Dou Great Forest and had two large, transparent holes in his chest. He was clearly dead, so how did he end up in an unknown place?
"Could it be that this is the world after death?" He frowned, full of doubts, but it didn't feel like it.
Chen Xuan patted his chest. It was very strong and there was no wound on it. He didn't know when it had healed.
Moreover, his eyesight also recovered, and his vision was clear without any blur.
Chen Xuan was puzzled. How could he recover from such serious injuries? What happened during the period after his death?
How are Xiaowu, Zhuqing, and Yiyi?
"Well, the time is about right now, and I know whether it will be a son or a daughter.
What Chen Xuan is most worried about is Xiao Wu. She has a child and is being watched by the Spirit Hall. If five years later, the Spirit Hall raises an army to attack the Star Dou Great Forest, she will not be able to survive the difficulties and escape danger.
He really wanted to rush back immediately to prevent any tragedy from happening, but unfortunately, he was dead now, and everything was just a fantasy and could not be realized.
Squeak!
At this time, the brown wooden door opened, and a silver-haired woman walked in, holding a porcelain bowl. There was an unknown red liquid in the bowl, but it was filled with a strong medicinal flavor, as if it was a medicinal soup.
"You woke up so soon, faster than I expected." She spoke in a sweet voice, her white hands holding a bowl of medicine.
Chen Xuan's eyes were full of vigilance, and he asked, "Who are you and where is this place?"
He was on guard. He was inexplicably dragged to this haunted place, and a strange woman appeared. He felt that things were becoming very mysterious.
Chen Xuan stared at the beautiful woman in front of him. She had silver hair falling on her shoulders, neat and tidy, and was very beautiful. It must be said that her face was several times better than Xiao Wu's.
She wore a jade chain around her neck and a set of ancient costumes. Her long red skirt reached the floor, just enough to cover her embroidered shoes.
"what?"
The silver-haired woman was suddenly surprised and looked at Chen Xuan in astonishment. Her eyes revealed something weird, as if she had seen something incredible.
"It's really strange. Half of your soul is missing, and it's not polluted. This is the first time I've seen such a situation in such a long time." Her eyes were very smart. She stared at Chen Xuan left and right, but her eyes didn't look like she was looking at a person.
"No, who are you?" Chen Xuan couldn't sit still anymore, feeling offended.
What soul, what pollution, he didn't understand a word of it. Instead, he felt that this woman was extremely terrifying. There was a wisp of mist lingering around her body, and she looked very unusual.
However, the silver-haired woman ignored him, took out a yellowed book, and started flipping through it.
At this time, another person walked in from outside. He was a young man with a crew cut, a resolute face, and was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, dressed like a modern man.
"No need to check. He is missing half of his soul. He needs to be thrown into the furnace and boiled for a day and a night, and then mixed with some medicinal herbs." The young man with a crew cut spoke, and his words were shocking.
The silver-haired woman closed the yellowed old book, her eyes bright, and said, "It's a waste of medicinal materials. Let's use the ingredients and throw them into the big iron pot to cook together."
She kept staring at Chen Xuan with a fiery look in her eyes. After she finished speaking, she licked her lips, looking like she was about to enjoy a delicious meal.
"Damn it!" Chen Xuan couldn't sit still anymore, his heart was trembling. What kind of demons were these two people? They actually used human flesh as a cooking method and discussed it in front of him without any reservations.
He wanted to run, escape from this damn place, away from these two perverted ogres.
"He's trying to resist, hold him down quickly." In the spacious room, a man and a woman approached Chen Xuan very quickly and suddenly, holding down his shoulders respectively.
Chen Xuan resisted violently and tried to break free, but he failed.
He mobilized his soul power and chakra, and used his strongest soul skills and killing moves, but he failed. Not to mention magic, he couldn't even mobilize the slightest soul power fluctuation.
"what's the situation?"
Chen Xuan had a dazed look on his face, full of confusion. What had happened to him? His magic and soul skills disappeared inexplicably, and his soul power was not left either. Where had his fighting power gone?
His body and mind were trembling, and he felt a little uneasy. Why couldn't he sense any source of strength?
“Don’t waste your energy. Since you have come to this place, almost all of your abilities and sources have been wiped out. It is almost impossible to leave anything behind.” said the modern-looking man with a crew cut.
The man and the woman behaved rudely and had no idea how to be gentle. They just held Chen Xuan's shoulders and carried him out of the room.
"His soul is incomplete, half of it is missing. You go prepare the ingredients, and I'll go get the big pot that has been sealed for a long time."
"It's just that the ingredients are too monotonous. I'll add some seasonings so that it will taste better."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Xuan could no longer sit still. This man and woman really wanted to cook him and eat him, they were not kidding.
When the two men walked away, he fought back and tried to escape from this hellish place, but failed in the end. He was fixed in place by some force and could not move.
Chen Xuan was convinced. He had been refining chakra for a long time but to no avail. It was just as the shaved man said. All his abilities and powers were wiped out.
"Everything is ready. You can light a fire and boil water."
Not long after, the man and woman came back, carried Chen Xuan and walked out.
This is a courtyard house, built entirely of old wood, covering an area of five to six hundred square meters, with very peculiar features. Outside the courtyard is a world of ice and snow, a vast expanse of white, the earth is covered with snow, and snow-capped mountains can be vaguely seen in the distance.
“What is this place!” Chen Xuan widened his eyes, he was stunned. He was in the universe before and was sucked away by an indescribable giant tree. Could this be the world behind the leaves?
Outside the yard, it was snowing heavily and the wind was cold. Goose feather-like snowflakes kept falling from the sky, and the vast sky and earth were covered with a thick layer of snow.
However, despite such a harsh and dry environment, the environment in an area outside the courtyard is surprisingly good. Various flowers and plants still grow there, fragrant and rooted in the frozen soil, unafraid of the severe cold.
Chen Xuan was shocked again. He was in the vicinity of the compound and was not affected by the cold snow. What kind of miracle was this? He did not die, but came to a world beyond this world?
However, he had no intention of appreciating the world of ice and snow, and might even be about to die here.
Outside the yard, there was snow all over the place. A man and a woman brought out a black pot as big as a water tank, threw Chen Xuan in, and then began to add water into it!
Then, the silver-haired woman took out a basket filled with various colorful ingredients and poured them all into a black pot as big as a water tank.
"I... Damn it!" Chen Xuan was going crazy. He struggled hard, but his hands were tied by an unknown force and he couldn't get free at all.
He was so sad that he had no tears. He thought he had come back to life and came to a paradise. His luck had turned for the better, but he ended up becoming food for an ogre. He was going crazy.

I’d better not talk about the new book, as it would be awkward if acquaintances saw it. I’ll just go with the flow, maybe I’ll get one.
