Chapter 805: Finally I can temporarily regain my daughter’s body

An hour later.

At a shallow beach on the opposite bank, Luo Da stopped the fishing boat, led the donkey off the boat, and then helped Gu Chan get off the boat.

Gu Chan stood on the shore, looking at the barren Gobi Desert in front of her, and couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.

What does deserted mean?

Isn’t this the border of the Diyue Kingdom right in front of us?
Luoda patted her shoulder and said, “Brother, you can only rely on yourself from now on. When walking in this desert, you must be careful of wild wolves and wild bears. These two kinds of mysterious beasts have lived in this place for a long time. If you are targeted by them, you will be skinned alive if you don’t die!”

“I understand, Brother Luo. You should go back quickly! Don’t let Sister Hua wait at home for too long.” Gu Chan said with a smile.

Luo Da nodded, immediately got on the boat, said goodbye to Gu Chan and left.

After he left, Gu Chan rode on the donkey and headed towards the Gobi Desert.

Half an hour after she entered the Gobi Desert, the tabby cat that had been chasing her finally swam to the shore holding the wood.

[Hoo, hoo, hoo…]

The moment it got ashore, the tabby cat lay on the ground with its legs spread out, gasping for breath.

After it regained some strength, it stood up, shook off the water stains on its body, and chased after Gu Chan.

And because Gu Chan herself is very strong, after entering the Gobi Desert, even if she encounters a pack of wolves or wild bears, she can easily drive them away.

In this way, it only took her half a month to successfully walk out of the Gobi Desert with Donkey and her calico cat.

On the other hand, the tabby cat following behind her suffered a lot along the way because of its relatively weak strength, and it almost died in the mouths of wild wolves several times.

This made it hate Gu Chan even more, thinking that all its suffering was caused by Gu Chan.

Gu Chan knew nothing about this.

At dusk that afternoon, after walking out of the Gobi Desert, Gu Chan quickly found a lake and rested there.

After eating some dry food to fill her stomach, she asked the donkey and the calico cat to keep watch in front, and then she took the white floral dress that Xiaohua had altered for her and hid in a small pool behind the lake to wash.

When it was almost dark, when she came back after washing up, the donkey and the calico cat were stunned where they were.

Gu Chan stared at them and said, “What’s wrong? Why are you all looking at me like this?”

[Oh my god! Once you let your hair down and put on this white floral dress, you really look more feminine than any other woman!]

[Yes, Master, you don’t look like a man dressed as a woman, it’s as if you are a real woman! ]

The two mysterious beasts stared at Gu Chan in surprise.

Gu Chan chuckled and pretended to be calm, saying, “I was born with a female appearance, so I naturally look like a woman when I dress up as a woman. You don’t have to make a fuss. Let’s hurry up and find a place to rest before dark.”

[Yes, Master.] The two mysterious beasts responded in unison.

Then they walked forward with Gu Chan. Shortly after dark, Gu Chan brought the two mysterious beasts to the outside of a village.

On the gate at the entrance of the village, the three big characters “Xuanyue Village” were clearly written. On the right side of the entrance there was a well, and next to the well there was a tall tree.

Gu Chan led the donkey to a big tree and stopped. Then she walked to the well, drew a bucket of water, and began to drink it.

“Girl, where are you from and where are you going?”

Just as Gu Chan was drinking the water happily, an old voice sounded behind her.

Gu Chan looked back and found an old man in a gray robe, hunched over, leaning on a cane, walking slowly towards her.

Gu Chan bowed politely and said, “Grandpa, I am a refugee from Yexing Country. My name is Pan’er.”

“Night Star Country? Then how did you come from the north?” the old man asked puzzledly.

The only country that borders Diyue Kingdom in the north is Tiancang Kingdom, while Yexing Kingdom borders Diyue Kingdom in the south. So if Gu Chan came from Yexing Kingdom, she must have come from the south, not the north.

Gu Chan said cunningly, “I originally wanted to flee to Tiancang, but the recent disputes over the throne in Tiancang have been too intense, and the common people have also been affected and have a hard time, so I could only go all the way north and escape from the north of Tiancang.”

“Oh! That makes sense then.” The old man said with relief.

After saying that, he looked up at Gu Chan for a while, and saw that she was only a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, and looked very weak on the surface, and was not very dangerous. Then he smiled and said, “I am the village chief, my surname is Xuan, and my given name is Hong. If Miss Pan’er doesn’t mind, you can follow me into the village and stay at my home for a night.”

“That’s great! I was worried about not being able to find a place to stay!” Gu Chan agreed without even thinking.

She had been walking in the Gobi Desert for a full half month, sleeping in the open air every day and having to be on guard against wild wolves and bears at night. She had not been able to sleep well at all. Now that she had found such a village, she naturally wanted to have a good night’s sleep first.

Xuan Hong laughed and said kindly, “Then follow me!”

“Thank you, old village chief.” Gu Chan said with a salute.

After saying that, she walked forward, led the donkey, and followed Xuan Hong towards the village.

The calico cat squatted on the donkey’s back, looking around the village vigilantly, and whispered in Gu Chan’s ear, “Master, I feel like something is wrong with this village!”

[Yes! Look at the villagers in the village, all of them are standing outside and looking at us, just like the wild wolves and bears in the Gobi Desert looking at their prey.] The donkey also said in agreement.

Gu Chan smiled but didn’t say anything.

As early as when Xuan Hong suddenly came to find her just now, she felt that something was wrong, but she just didn’t say anything.

In addition, after entering the village, all the villagers, regardless of gender, came out of their houses and stood at the gate, staring at her silently as if they were looking at prey. Anyone who is not a fool can understand that something is wrong!
Xuan Hong walked in front and said without turning his head, “Miss Pan’er, our Xuanyue Village is very close to the Gobi Desert in the back. Usually at night, those wild wolves and wild bears often come to harass us, so everyone is very vigilant and wary of outsiders. Don’t take it to heart.”

“Old Village Chief, you’re too polite. I’m already very grateful that you’re willing to take me in. How could I still be suspicious of you?” Gu Chan said with a faint smile.

“Don’t be afraid. We are all ordinary villagers and will not harm anyone. Especially a well-behaved girl like you, we have to treat her well.” Xuan Hong said with a sneer.

Gu Chan chuckled and responded pretending to be naive.

Xuan Hong thought that Gu Chan was really innocent, so he took her deeper into the village with peace of mind.
