Chapter 772: 641

Before other well-wishers noticed, Xu Yang had to quickly take Madam Medusa and Little Farosa away.

The man who had been knocked to the ground was still emitting low growls, trying to rise for a last stand.

Xu Yang had wanted to hit him, but then he remembered that the Reality Manipulator had already taken away the concept of "victory," and it would be troublesome if he stayed to tangle with him here.

He first rushed into the narrow kitchen, scooped up Madam Medusa’s plump legs from below, letting her soft, heavy body sit on Xu Yang’s arm, while the other hand swiftly picked up the frail Little Farosa.

Madam Medusa was stunned by the sudden turn of events; people from this era had limited capacity to process new information. Seeing Xu Yang materialize from nothing, Madam Medusa’s fragile nerves naturally collapsed in an instant, leaving her in a state of complete disarray.

Little Farosa was also greatly scared.

Xu Yang deftly lifted her, just as he had done thousands of times before when grabbing the Little Fool from the ground, and in a moment, he had Little Farosa caught. She reacted much faster than her mother and immediately bit down on Xu Yang’s arm, but the nanobots had woven it into a bundle of ultra-high-strength fibers, and with her weak bite, Little Farosa couldn’t break through.

In another 1000 years, you will have to devour everything, no thing can be avoided, Xu Yang thought to himself as he quickly retreated with Madam Medusa and Little Farosa.

He ran swiftly, reactivating the invisible force field, so to the villagers, it appeared as though Madam Medusa and Little Farosa were floating in the air and flying away—one above the other.

"Wow!"

"They’re flying!"

"Be careful!"

"Get out of the way!" the villagers were astonished by the situation.

Living in the Middle Ages with giant dragons, witches, and warlocks, they kept a respectful distance from all supernatural phenomena, fearing they couldn’t be far enough away. At this moment, they dared not interfere but scattered like rats, throwing the village into chaos. Farmers and their wives shouted everywhere as panic spread like the plague.

Xu Yang took this opportunity to bring Madam Medusa and Little Farosa to the woods they had visited in the morning. Little Farosa had personally walked around and trodden on this spot, so this place must be very secluded.

Little Farosa turned her head and saw that Xu Yang had brought her to a place she was more familiar with, which made her stop biting and let go. Xu Yang then put Madam Medusa and Little Farosa down on the ground and revealed his true form.

After the shock, Madam Medusa sat weakly by the tree root, gasping for air, her beautiful, ample body rising and falling gently.

Xu Yang’s gaze fell on her exquisitely proportioned body, and he couldn’t help feeling strange. Carrying Madam Medusa all this way, he had indeed smelled endless fragrance and savored supreme tenderness.

Such a well-proportioned young woman, who also bore a nine-point resemblance to Farosa, made Xu Yang see Madam Medusa as if she were Farosa herself—only more mature and with a bit more allure.

Little Farosa, frightened, placed her hand on Madam Medusa and turned to bare her teeth at Xu Yang when she saw him become visible.

"I’ll kill you!" Little Farosa yelled.

"Be patient." Xu Yang made a gesture for them to calm down, "Madam, Miss, I was commissioned by someone specially to rescue you. This bag of gold coins should cover our travel expenses, enough for us to flee far away, to a more suitable place for living. Do you know of a peaceful place suitable for lying low for a while?"

Then, he poured out the gold coins he had found in the castle from his armor’s carry bag. The pile of coins looked small, but in actuality, it was quite heavy—equivalent to several tens of thousands in modern-day funds.

Little Farosa quickly stepped forward and took a gold coin from Xu Yang’s hand.

It was the size of a thumb, thin, and with irregular edges. The front bore the king’s portrait, while the back was stamped with the symbol of the trading alliance, signifying its circulation power within the region of Gaul.

Little Farosa’s eyes lit up; she bit it hard and then turned around to present it to Madam Medusa.

Madam Medusa still appeared dazed, her legs bent and her back against the tree root, shaking continuously.

"You’ve frightened her, who exactly are you?" Little Farosa frowned at Xu Yang.

"I am a traveller from afar. You can fully trust me, Miss. This gold is all yours—a token of my sincerity," Xu Yang catered to Little Farosa’s demeanor just as he would with Farosa herself.

He poured all the gold coins into Little Farosa’s hands, and sure enough, her attitude softened substantially.

She hurriedly stuffed all the gold coins into a small cloth pocket in the middle of her gray skirt, bulging like she had grown a round belly, and then her expression instantly brightened.

"Mommy, Mommy..." Little Farosa pressed her cheek against Madam Medusa’s, "We have money now, we don’t have to be afraid of others bullying us anymore. Let’s go somewhere else for a peaceful life quickly."

Madam Medusa was still in a semi-stupor and did not respond.

Xu Yang realized her mental state was not stable. After years of misfortune, Madam Medusa’s mindset couldn’t handle such a sudden fright.

However, there was still time. With familial warmth, passion, and joy surrounding Madam Medusa, she was bound to recover her senses given enough time.

"We need to leave this place as soon as possible, there are bad people searching for witches, and you are a witch, I know that. If you get caught, you’ll be secretly eliminated," Xu Yang told Little Farosa.

"But—Mom—" Little Farosa stammered.

"I have some medicine, which is the only effective method to improve Madam Medusa’s health by putting her into a deep sleep," Xu Yang said as he took out a Pale Cure Injection from his armor.

Little Farosa squinted her eyes.

"If you do anything bad, I will blow your head off," Little Farosa threatened.

"Right, that’s it, once my mission is done, you can blow my head off," Xu Yang was still thinking about how to exit this world when Little Farosa suggested a perfect solution.

"?" Little Farosa looked confused.

Seeing Little Farosa no longer obstructing, Xu Yang used the Pale Cure Injection to inject Madam Medusa’s upper arm, sending her into a peaceful slumber, then he hoisted Madam Medusa onto his back and ran off with Little Farosa.

Little Farosa ran fast; she had made countless preparations to escape this dark, disgusting village, and even ran ahead, leading the way for Xu Yang.

"Ahead, turn there—then turn, follow me!" Little Farosa called out in a low voice as she ran.

She reveled in the feeling of running wild.

Xu Yang inwardly nodded. Little Farosa excelled at running away. Given time, her characteristic would mature and she would grow fond of playing people in the palm of her hand, skilled in dodging problems and trouble, becoming a villain adept at manipulating and tormenting others, always wanting to hide in the safest place, leaving the troubling matters to someone else... All these traits were apparent in Farosa’s childhood.

In the eyes of others, she might be the ultimate witch, a rotten egg, or a villain, but Xu Yang, who had spent a lot of time with Farosa, had come to see this as part of Farosa’s charming personality. However, he still harbored hope, believing that with his guidance, Farosa would become better.

Especially during this childhood journey.

Xu Yang knew that a joyful childhood memory wouldn’t transform Farosa into a person full of conscience, but it could at least slightly adjust some of Farosa’s temperament.

Right now, Little Farosa was running wildly on the open hillsides, her feet crossing the lush grasslands, climbing the steep ridges, looking at the endless greenery around her and the snow-capped mountains in the distance, lifting her head to the blue sky and white clouds, enjoying herself in this uninhabited area.

Before humans overpopulated, this era was filled with uninhabited lands and wilderness, most regions still the natural domains under the rule of the Forest Master, safe as long as one avoided dragons and wild beasts.

"Let’s go, find a beautiful place to live," said Xu Yang as he carried Madam Medusa and followed in Little Farosa’s footsteps.

How happily she walked, Little Farosa was enamored with this experience, finally free from those crooked-headed, illiterate villagers, into the carefree countryside to enjoy a life of freedom, traveling wherever she wished.

With remarkable vitality and initiative, Little Farosa swiftly brought Xu Yang into a sun-drenched valley.

In this valley, dense forests grew all around, deer herds moved through the animal paths; they seldom saw hunters, so much so that upon seeing Little Farosa and him, they didn’t even run, but continued to stroll around, treating them like some upright apes.

"Let’s live here," said Little Farosa standing on a rock in the valley, opening her arms wide to the boundless nature, taking deep breaths, intoxicated.

Children should have more contact with nature. Xu Yang was nearly infected by Little Farosa’s happiness. He gently placed Madam Medusa on the rock where she lay in peaceful repose.

He stood by Little Farosa’s side, taking in the surroundings.

"Do you like it here?" asked Xu Yang.

"I love it!" Little Farosa answered contentedly. There were no annoying villagers here, no tax collectors or guards, and no cold-hearted village chief or selfish merchants.

How beautiful and peaceful it was; rugged grey rocks scattered along the riverbank, covered with moss near the running water, green bushes growing in the crevices, and beyond the riverbank was a dense forest of beech, oak, pine, spruce, and chestnut trees interwoven together, creating a pure green natural maze, with rolling hills in the distance, against the backdrop of the azure sky and snowy white clouds.

For Xu Yang, who had lived a lifetime in the hustle and bustle of the city, this kind of scenery was also incredibly striking.

"We’ll make a life here," Xu Yang murmured.

"Okay!" Little Farosa said innocently.

If only the future Farosa was this easy to deal with, Xu Yang thought. She was so easily satisfied at the moment.

No sooner said than done, Little Farosa picked up a stick and started poking at fish in the river for fun.

Xu Yang took off the Energy Hand Axe from his belt and began to chop trees, the high-energy axe blade burning through the bark, making the task of chopping wood incredibly easy.

With two chops, a face emerged from the trunk.

"You’re hurting me," said the face in the tree bark.
