Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 133 Dark Moon Valley

My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but wonder: What did she mean by that? Why would she say such a thing? Just as I was filled with doubt, I saw a look of relief appear on the woman's face.

Then, she moved her lips slightly and began to mutter incantations.

As she muttered, a dark light suddenly flashed across my body.

In an instant, a strange feeling welled up in my heart, as if an invisible force was binding us tightly together—the contract was thus established!

After completing the contract, the woman seemed to have used up the last bit of strength in her life.

Even so, she still forced herself to stand up and gazed deeply into Xiao Bao's arms with a loving look.

Those eyes held endless reluctance and longing, as well as earnest expectations and blessings for the child's future life.

Finally, as if she had finally let go of all her worries, she slowly closed her beautiful eyes.

Her delicate body began to slowly decompose and shatter into vibrant petals.

These petals seemed to be alive, dancing gracefully in the air and shimmering with enchanting light.

As the breeze blew, the petals gradually drifted into the distance, eventually disappearing into the boundless sky and completely merging into this vast world.

Xiao Bao, who was standing nearby, witnessed all of this. He hugged my legs tightly, his small body trembling.

Those once clear and bright eyes were now red and swollen from crying, and tears streamed down like a burst dam.

I slowly reached out and gently stroked the top of his head.

Then, I carefully picked up the pendant, held it in my palm, and examined it closely.

The pendant was small and exquisite, emitting a faint light. It was engraved with some strange and bizarre symbols, which were like mysterious codes and difficult to decipher.

Then, I picked up the exquisite pendant and slowly put it on Xiaobao's fair and delicate neck.

I gently stroked his hair and earnestly instructed him, "Xiao Bao, this is a very important thing, you must hide it well and never lose it, okay?"

Suddenly, his tears flowed like a burst dam, instantly soaking his delicate cheeks.

His small body trembled uncontrollably from sobbing, making him look so helpless and pitiful.

When Wen Xingyu saw this scene, her heart tightened suddenly, and an indescribable pain surged into her heart.

Without thinking twice, she quickly stretched out her arms and gently hugged Xiao Bao tightly.

She felt the child's slightly trembling body and offered him a rare moment of comfort with her warm embrace.

At the same time, she gently comforted her, "Xiaobao, don't be afraid. I promise you, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I will take you with me to find your father! No matter how far or how arduous the journey, we will never give up easily." After saying that, she turned to look at Xu Yan beside her.

Xu Yan nodded knowingly, indicating her agreement.

Seeing this, Mu Yang also stated without hesitation, "Anyway, I'll only follow you guys, and to be honest, this kind of experience is actually quite good."

Hearing everyone express their opinions, Huan Yuechu, who had been silent all along, finally raised her head.

Her beautiful, captivating eyes slowly turned and finally settled on the old man who was standing quietly to the side not far away.

At that moment, her eyes were filled with deep gratitude.

She bowed slightly and said sincerely, "Thank you for your help today, senior. If you hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. On behalf of Xiaobao, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your great kindness."

However, the old man simply waved his hand casually, seemingly unconcerned about the gratitude.

His deep eyes were fixed on Xiao Bao, who was crying, his brows furrowed and his expression was extremely serious.

After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, “Young lady, there’s no need for thanks. However, in my opinion, this bird demon dared to abduct this child in broad daylight, so there must be someone behind it manipulating things. Therefore, this matter is not yet completely resolved and we still need to consider it carefully.”

Huan Yuechu felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing the old man's words. "Senior, do you have any clues?"

The old man stroked his beard and pondered, "That bird demon has a special aura, very similar to that coming from the Valley of the Dark Moon."

What kind of place is Dark Moon Valley?

The old man glanced at everyone and slowly said, "The Valley of the Dark Moon is an extremely dangerous place, where demons and evil spirits roam and many unspeakable secrets are hidden. Legend has it that there is a dark force in the valley that has been secretly plotting something."

Wen Xingyu hugged Xiaobao tightly in her arms and said with unwavering determination in her eyes.

"No matter what, even if there's only the slightest chance of finding the truth, we must bravely try!"

Standing to the side, Mu Yang looked worried, scratching his head as he spoke nervously.

"But... that Dark Moon Valley is no ordinary place. It's said to be extremely dangerous, and no one who goes in has ever come out alive!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan turned around abruptly, glared fiercely at Mu Yang, and shouted angrily.

"What are you afraid of! With so many of us, surely we can protect a little child?"

His words revealed a strong sense of confidence and courage.

Huan Yuechu nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with Xu Yan's statement, and then turned to the old man, asking respectfully.

"Senior, could you perhaps point us in a clear direction?"

The old man looked at the group of young people in front of him and secretly admired their persistence and fearlessness.

Finally, he sighed softly and said slowly, "Very well, I suppose we have some kind of connection. In that case, I will personally lead you there."

Upon hearing this, everyone thanked the old man, saying, "Thank you, senior!"

Thus, under the old man's guidance, the group, filled with trepidation, resolutely embarked on this journey to the Valley of the Dark Moon, a journey fraught with unknowns and dangers.

As they traveled closer to the legendary Valley of the Dark Moon, the atmosphere around them became increasingly eerie and oppressive.

The once towering trees on both sides of the road now seemed to be twisted by some strange force, presenting a bizarre posture that sent chills down one's spine.

Occasionally, eerie bird calls would drift from the depths of the woods, like a call from hell, filling the entire environment with a chilling atmosphere.

Young Xiao Bao was clearly terrified. He clung tightly to Wen Xingyu's clothes, his little face pale with fear, and his big eyes filled with tears.

Finally, just as they were about to reach the entrance to the Valley of the Dark Moon, a thick, almost tangible white fog suddenly rushed towards them.

Upon seeing this, the old man quickly reminded everyone to be extra careful.

As far as he knew, the area around the valley entrance was riddled with all sorts of treacherous traps.
