Myth Beyond Heaven

The middle-aged man, Yu Lang, stared at Yun Lintian's face for a while, and his hostility reduced a bit. "Thank you for saving my daughters. Please do not get offended by my action just now. Our village doesn't have a visitor for a long time."

Yun Lintian had an understanding smile on his face as he spoke. "I understand, uncle. It's normal for you to act like this. I would be the same seeing a stranger appeared out of nowhere."

Yu Lang took a deep look at Yun Lintian and waved his hand at his daughters. "Go prepare a meal for our benefactor."

Yu Xiaoya and Yu Xiaolu nodded and went toward the kitchen while Yu Lang brought Yun Lintian to a living room.

After pouring a cup of hot water for Yun Lintian, Yu Lang said. "I'm sorry, Senior Mu. We don't have tea here."

Yun Lintian took a sip of the water and said calmly. "You don't have to be like this, uncle. You can call me by my name directly. As I said earlier, I have no intention of seeking benefit by saving your daughters. I just want to know where this place is in the Central Continent."

Seeing Yu Lang hesitating, Yun Lintian added. "I lived secludedly on a mountain for all my life. This is the first time I came out, and I could not find the direction."

Yu Lang could see Yun Lintian didn't seem to lie. He slowly nodded his head in an understanding manner and said. "Our Rain Village is located in the northern part of the continent. If you go further in the north direction, you will arrive at a seaside city called Blue Tide City. From there, you can take any carriage to other major cities."

"Blue Tide City… I see." Yun Lintian searched the name in his mind and remembered this city was the biggest city on the northernmost part of the Central Continent. He cupped his fists and said. "Thank you, Uncle Yu."

Yu Lang hurriedly cupped his fists and said. "I don't dare to accept this. It should be me who said this. If you weren't passed by, I would lose my daughters forever by now."

Yun Lintian didn't insist on this further. He changed the topic. "By the way, Uncle Yu. I could see that the rain here is not simple as it appears to be. I wonder if there's anything about this?"

"There is something indeed." A trace of surprise appeared in Yu Lang's eyes. He didn't hide anything and said. "You might wonder why this place is called Rain Village. We have to trace back to five hundred years ago when my ancestor founded this village."

"At that time, he was chased after by several profound beasts to this place. As he was about to be swarmed by them, suddenly, the sky turned dark in a span of two breaths and started to rain down. He didn't know what happened at that moment, but all the profound beasts turned around and fled as though they had seen something scary."

"My ancestor was confused for a long while, and when he was about to leave, he discovered a woman carrying a paper umbrella standing not far away from him. My ancestor was stunned by her peerless appearance and did not know what to do. When he regained his sense, the woman had already walked away, and the rain seemed to follow behind her."

Yu Lang paused for a moment and continued. "It might sound ridiculous, but my ancestor decided to settle in this place simply because he wanted to see her again, and later, he discovered she would often appear around here. He had tried to talk to her, but no matter how he did, she would never answer him. So he took the liberty to name her Rain Woman."

"Rain Woman?" Yun Lintian repeated with curiosity.

Yu Lang nodded and explained further. "Whenever there's rain, it means she has appeared around here. Moreover, this rain has a special effect. It could scare any profound beast away. This is why our village can stay in this place safely until now."

"Isn't this mean she's around here right now?" Yun Lintian asked while looking at the outside through the window. He was curious about this person. To be able to summon rain like this wasn't something an ordinary practitioner could do. This person must be a top-level Monarch.

Yu Lang confirmed. "Indeed. However, whether she wants to show up depends on her."

At this moment, Yu Xiaolu walked into the room with two dishes in her hands and said. "I had seen Rain Woman before. She's really gorgeous like a fairy in heaven." Her eyes were filled with twinkles as she spoke. 

Yun Lintian looked at Yu Xiaolu in surprise and asked. "Where did you see her? Was it around here?"

Before Yu Xiaolu could answer, Yu Lang spoke first. "She often appears on a small hill two hundred meters away from here. Although she had never done anything to us, it's better to not approach her." 

Yun Lintian smiled faintly. "Don't worry, Uncle Yu. I'm just curious about her. I wonder why she kept appearing here. Is there any purpose?"

This time, Yu Xiaolu quickly expressed her opinion. "I believe she's waiting for someone."

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiaolu." Yu Lang reprimanded his daughter. He was afraid that Rain Woman could hear this.

Yu Xiaolu pouted and retorted. "It's true, Father. I didn't tell you about this before because Sister Ya told me to keep it a secret. Back then, I heard her say, 'Where are you?' and then 'Who am I?'. She kept repeating these questions again and again."

Yu Lang's complexion changed drastically. His ancestor, including his father and grandfather, had encountered Rain Woman several times, but none of them had ever heard her say a word. Why did she suddenly say something now?

"Are you sure what you said is true?" Yu Lang asked with a serious expression.

"It's true, Father. I was there with her." At this moment, Yu Xiaoya appeared in the room and said.

Yu Lang frowned slightly and said to his daughters. "I must tell your grandfather about this. You two come with me after the meal."

On the side, Yun Lintian touched his chin and pondered… What does it mean by that question? Was this Rain Woman losing her memory or something?
