Chapter 32: Why?

Even if Yu Shi Lan wanted to go to the cultivation world, she didn’t actually dare to go there when she’s this weak.

Her journey back then was riddled in danger and she was basically lucky to be able to survive and become a cultivator in the end. Her body was weak and it cost her a lot to be able to eat more things and strengthen her body to the degree where she could train and become a cultivator.

“Meow.”

Yu Shi Lan rubbed Xiao Mao’s body with a smile on her face.

In the early stage where the world’s order collapsed and she had to struggle at the bottom, she was basically alone. Those days were really hard and she felt incredibly lonely, not being able to trust anyone.

Only after establishing a soul contract with Xiao Mao did she have a companion.

“What? There’s no relief food?” There’s a scream in the distance and some people started to make trouble.

Yu Shi Lan looked and saw a few women were yelling in anger. It seemed that they didn’t manage to find much to eat. When they thought that they could finally eat something and feel comfortable, they were directly told that it was impossible.

How could they not be angry?

“I’m sorry but this place is prepared hastily and the help from other places haven’t arrived. If you don’t want to stay here, you’re welcomed to leave,” the soldier said in flat tone. This was not the first group of people who made trouble after they came here.

But the soldiers couldn’t do anything.

Those of the lower rank didn’t know anything but those of the higher ranks knew very well that the amount of resources were severely lacking. And at this moment, it could be said that they were also struggling thinking how to distribute these resources.

Because the earthquake destroyed most places all over the Green Planet.

There were only some areas that remained relatively intact and could be used, but it didn’t seem to be safe enough.

“You’re useless…”

“%^&*(!”

Some people were screaming and cursing these soldiers while some others tried to pull their companion back.

Seeing how brave and presumptuous they were, even Yu Shi Lan was amazed.

’This is the first time I see someone so brave that they dare to confront the soldiers head on.’

The soldiers were carrying weapon on their belt and even a child could see that. Yet, these people didn’t seem to care about it and provoked the soldiers without hesitation. It seemed that they were confident that the soldiers wouldn’t make a move against them.

“Meow!” <So insolent! They should have just killed them!>

Xiao Mao saw this and her furry face scrunched in disbelief. She couldn’t imagine that there will be someone so patient that they let these people provoked them without doing anything.

’They can’t do that.’ Yu Shi Lan prevented Xiao Mao from jumping out of the pocket.

This little cat is really restless.

“Meow?” <WHY?>

’Because their duty is to protect the weaker people… think of them as the law enforcement in the cultivation world,’ Yu Shi Lan explained patiently.

Even though the ability of the law enforcers were limited, these people still existed in the cultivation world. Their task was to make sure the cultivators would not harm the ordinary people as much as possible.

After all, the cultivators were extremely powerful and it was not that easy to limit them.

And managing these people seemed to be unrewarding.

At least, that was how it is in the beginning.

The Emperor set up reward and the sects also has their own set and regulation. Only in some areas could people be completely lawless without paying attention to the set of laws and so on.

“Meow….” <It’s so troublesome…>

Xiao Mao looked at these soldiers with some pity and then moved her gaze away.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with them.

“Indeed.” Yu Shi Lan didn’t pay attention to these people and pulled the blanket over to cover her head as she sat down and started to meditate again.

Even though the place was limited, but it’s better than nothing.

Starting tomorrow, she would have to travel and collect some jade while practicing her martial arts.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to get stronger.

Xiao Mao stayed in Yu Shi Lan’s pocket and reduced her presence to the minimum.

While Yu Shi Lan didn’t say it, Xiao Mao could tell that Yu Shi Lan’s emotion and condition stabilized after her appearance.

’It’s hard for you, Shi Lan, but I believe that things will get better.’

There was no need for Yu Shi Lan to suffer as much as she did in her previous life.

Let those things… remain as memories and nothing more.
