12 Goddesses

The result was of course no one could find it, the oath came true, the La family could only live in a valley deep in the Pu Mat forest, when people of this family went too far from the valley they would immediately have an accident or get sick and die, from then on the valley was named The Oath Valley, and the La family after many years became the Dan Lai people.

– That’s what we heard from our ancestors…
The Dan Lai clan leader said, he was currently being carried by a young man in the clan, Duong, Hoai Bao and Linh Nhi followed behind, listening attentively.

– Because we cannot go too far, we cannot have much contact with outsiders, and we cannot trade because of the remote and dangerous terrain, backward technology, and frequent attacks by wild animals. Our race is increasingly declining…

Speaking of this, the old patriarch sighed sadly.

– In such a miserable situation, why don’t we ask someone to send a message for help? – Duong wondered.

The clan leader replied:
– Yes, whenever we are lucky enough to meet outsiders, we ask for help, but when we know that someone from our clan is cursed, we immediately refuse to help for fear of getting into trouble…

To change the atmosphere, Linh Nhi began to tell the story of her accident, then met Hoai Bao, met Duong and together they ventured into the spiritual realm.

After listening, the old patriarch said kindly to Duong and Bao:
– Thank you two for saving Linh Nhi, but it’s a shame that we have nothing to repay you…

Hoai Bao said:
– Don’t worry, it’s just on the way, and Linh Nhi also saved us…

The old patriarch said:
– If you don’t mind the curse, we invite you two to stay and rest and have a few meals, otherwise I will send someone to escort you two back safely.

Duong quickly replied:
– No, it’s okay! I can stay and play for a few days, but this guy can go home by himself!

– You! – Hoai Bao widened his eyes. – Whoever told me to go, I’ll stay!

Duong teased:
– Simple rice and vegetables, I’m afraid it won’t suit the taste of the prince of the Imperial City…

Hoai Bao was also not to be outdone:
– The Dragon Clan only eats meat, Prince Long Thanh probably doesn’t like to eat vegetables, right?

– Who said that! I… like eating vegetables the most! – Duong argued.

– I don’t like it, but I can still eat it. Vegetables are very nutritious! – Hoai Bao replied.

Hearing the conversation between Duong and Hoai Bao, the clan leader was startled and left the young man’s back, clasped his hands and bowed to Duong and Bao:
– So you two are princes of the Imperial City and Long City, please forgive me for being rude…

Hoai Bao and Duong quickly helped the old patriarch stand up. Hoai Bao said:
– Don’t do that. In modern times, I’m nothing so there’s no need to use that feudal ceremony!

Duong nodded:
– That’s right, I’m not considered a prince…

– Having two princes visit is an unprecedented honor for our clan… – The old clan leader was so happy that he cried tears of joy. If he could be on good terms with these two princes, then the Dan Lai clan would have some hope.

The group entered a dense area located between two mountain foothills, where many ancient trees grew intertwined as if intentionally forming a giant wall.

The old patriarch explained:
– This is an ancient tree garden planted by our ancestors long ago. They form a thick wall protecting the only path into the Valley of the Oath, helping to keep out wild animals and helping our clan hide from enemies.

The path into the garden was dark and had many turns because of large trees blocking the way, like a maze that could easily lead to getting lost. Led by the Dan Lai people, Duong and Hoai Bao got through without much difficulty.

After a while, there was light filtering through the tree trunks in the distance.

– Here we are! – Phong Linh Nhi breathed a sigh of relief.

The group walked out of the garden. Before Duong and Bao’s eyes was a large valley, surrounded by hills and green terraced fields. In the middle of the valley was a small, winding, clear stream with simple, rustic thatched-roof stilt houses. A few children herded buffalo and flew kites along the small road leading to the village. A few hunched backs could be seen in the lush green vegetable garden.

– So beautiful… – Duong and Hoai Bao exclaimed together, the scenery was poetic and peaceful like a vivid painting.

But behind each beautiful painting is the sweat and effort of the artist, just as behind that peaceful scene is the blood and tears of many generations of Dan Lai, building and preserving. The person watching the scene feels peaceful, but the person in the scene hides his sadness.

Of course, Hoai Bao was not the kind of careless teenager his age was, and Duong was even less so. Both of them could easily guess how much the Dan Lai clan had to pay for this temporary peace: sickly children, hunched-backed women with sunburned skin, and scarred men. People sought strength, power, and wealth, while they sought peace and comfort.

The curse not only imprisoned but also limited the health and cultivation ability of the Dan Lai clan, causing them to always have weak bodies and souls. Very few people cultivated to the General level and many died young.

The group entered the village.

It was extremely rare to see strangers, and they were two exceptionally handsome young men, so the village elders, young and old, all came out to greet them. First, they welcomed their saintess and the clan leader’s safe return, and then they curiously looked at these two handsome young men, one in black and one in white.

After introducing Duong and Bao to the entire clan as two heroes for saving their saintess, the clan leader held a welcoming party, then arranged for Duong and Hoai Bao to rest in the largest stilt house in the village. Hoai Bao immediately sat down to use his energy to restore and heal his soul, while Duong sat down to tease Thien Anh Di Thu, the beast was currently locked in a small cage, of course the cage had been placed with a restriction by a Spirit General of the Dan Lai clan to prevent the beast from breaking out of the cage and running away.

Hoai Bao sat practicing his energy until the afternoon before going out, while Duong had already gone out to play early.

Hoai Bao walked along the village. It was late afternoon but there were still many people lurking in the fields. Even the children had work to do. Some were babysitting, some were cooking downstairs, and some were doing laundry by the stream.

– In this day and age, there is still such a backward and poor existence… – The old master lamented.

Hoai Bao replied:

– This time I will call for a lot of supplies for them…

– How much supply, and for how long? Look over there! – said the old master.

Hoai Bao looked in the direction his master said and saw a blacksmith’s shop. Duong was forging something. Next to him was a woman around 40 years old named Thang, the owner of the blacksmith’s shop and the only amateur alchemist in the village. Around them were a few curious children watching, seemingly very interested.

– It’s done, Thang!
Duong wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, then stood up, holding out what Hoai Bao saw as a basket with a wheel attached and two wooden sticks attached parallel to each side for holding.

– This is called a wheelbarrow! It is very fast to push things, saving a lot of strength and spiritual energy!
Duong said, picked up a child and put him on the cart, then pushed it around. The child was a bit scared at first, but then became very excited, the other children ran after him and wanted to sit in the cart.

The old master nodded and said:
– It is better to give a man a fish than to give him a fishing rod!

Hoai Bao smiled in enlightenment:
– Thank you master, I understand!

At this time, Duong saw Hoai Bao standing there, bewildered, so he pushed the wheelbarrow over and teased:
– Get out of the way, get out of the way!

Soldier!

Unexpectedly, the car hit a puddle and bounced up. The child flew straight to Hoai Bao and was caught by him. Duong fell face down in the water, getting wet, making the whole village laugh. Of course, Hoai Bao knew very well that Duong was just trying to make people laugh. With his ability, he could easily create a layer of spiritual energy to protect them from getting wet.

Duong cursed under his breath:
– Damn it! I forgot that I know how to use spiritual power!

At this time, Phong Linh Nhi had also gradually recovered. When she came out of the house, she saw Hoai Bao and greeted him:
– Hoai Bao! Are you feeling better now?
Then she saw Duong sitting in a puddle of rainwater, soaking wet. Her eyes widened in surprise:
– Duong! There is a stream over there, why don’t you bathe? What are you bathing there for?

– Yes, mud baths are good for your skin! Do you want to bathe together?
Duong teased Linh Nhi, then casually splashed water on Hoai Bao. He was looking at girls so he was careless and got his shirt wet.

– Damn it!
Hoai Bao was naturally clean, but when he was splashed with dirty water, he immediately picked up a rock and threw it at Duong’s face. As a result, the two of them jumped into a fight with the enthusiastic cheers of Phong Linh Nhi and the village children.

That night, the two heroic young men, one with a swollen beak and one with brown eyes, were warmly welcomed by the villagers at an outdoor party. They also enjoyed a beautiful dance performance by the Phong Linh Holy Maiden and the young women of the village.

Pu Mat Forest at night, looks peaceful on the outside but is full of traps on the inside.

A deserted patch of forest quite far from the Valley of the Oath, where a few figures sat next to a blazing fire, among them Dai Du, whose eye was bandaged.

– Damn it! Two Linh Tuong and three Linh Ta kids couldn’t handle it, and one of them lost his life!

The one scolding was Dai Vu, Dai Du’s older brother and also the commander of the Yin Dao Association’s hunt for the saintess this time.

Dai Du argued:
– What brat, she is a Saintess! Even though she is not yet an adult, she is already as strong as me, and she is also holding a holy sword, how can I fight her!

Dai Vu was still angry:
– Damn it! Where are Lan and Tuan? They haven’t come yet. We made an appointment!

Another person said tremblingly:
– How unlucky were Lan and Tuan to encounter a General-level Cuong Duong Ho? When I discovered it, Tuan’s neck was already broken, and Lan was fucked to death by the tiger…

Dai Vu got even angrier:
– Damn it! A bunch of useless people!

After scolding, Dai Vu stomped his feet, causing the ground to shake. The hunting spirit beasts discovered it and immediately ran away in fear, because their intuition told them that this was a shock created by someone they could not touch…
