When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 741 - 298 Rainy Cabin_2

But when he looked again, the white-clad creature was nowhere to be seen.

Li Xiu concentrated, and the Fire Lotus Sword flew out automatically, transforming into Sword Lotus to envelop his body, and the rain falling on the Sword Lotus was directly blocked by the sword’s light.

"Strange! What is that thing?" Li Xiu surveyed the surroundings by the sword’s light, but saw nothing.

Protected by the Fire Lotus Sword, Li Xiu continued forward. After a while, he realized that proceeding this way was pointless.

Apart from the endless curtain of rain, everything seemed to have vanished, not even a Sword Casting Workshop was visible.

"Husband, do you need me to guide you?" The mysterious bride suddenly floated out.

Li Xiu remembered when the mute came last time, the mysterious bride also appeared, and she could extinguish the Longevity Lamp that he couldn’t.

This time, the mysterious bride offered to lead him, making Li Xiu somewhat suspicious.

"Do you know the way?" Li Xiu asked the mysterious bride, who was protected together within the Sword Lotus.

"I don’t." The bride’s answer left Li Xiu rather vexed.

"If you don’t know the way, how can you guide me?" Li Xiu asked again.

"I just feel something there that might help you," the bride said, pointing in a direction.

"What’s there?" Li Xiu saw only pouring rain, nothing else.

"I don’t know, I can only sense something familiar there," the bride shook her head.

Li Xiu looked at the bride, then at the direction she pointed. There seemed to be no other choice, so he went to see what was there.

The bride floated beside Li Xiu like a ghost, not touching the ground, her red Wedding Dress adding to the eerie atmosphere, rivaling the black and white-clad creatures seen earlier.

With the bride’s guidance, Li Xiu hadn’t gone far when he suddenly spotted a faint light ahead.

"There really is something." Li Xiu quickened his pace and soon discovered a small cabin ahead.

The cabin was low, with a roof just over two meters from the ground, and the door was only about one and a half meters high, with an oil lamp hanging under the awning, flickering in the storm, seemingly about to go out at any moment.

Li Xiu rushed to the cabin. Regardless of what’s inside, he had to go in and see, as there was no other way forward.

Li Xiu knocked on the wooden door a few times, but inside was silent without any movement.

Frowning slightly, Li Xiu knocked again and called, "Is anyone there?"

But as he spoke, a clap of thunder coincided, drowning his voice completely, even he couldn’t hear himself.

Once the thunder passed, Li Xiu called out again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the thunder roared again, overshadowing his voice.

Li Xiu called several times, yet it seemed the thunder deliberately opposed him, rumbling whenever he spoke, drowning his words.

Gritting his teeth, Li Xiu pushed the door to see if he could open it, and to his surprise, the wooden door opened effortlessly, even before he exerted any force.

Standing outside the door, Li Xiu looked in to see the fireplace inside burning, with the logs crackling.

Beside the fireplace was a rocking chair, someone seemingly asleep on it, covered with a gray blanket.

The chair faced away from the door, and due to its low height, Li Xiu couldn’t see who was sleeping on it.

"Excuse me, it’s raining heavily outside, may I come in to take shelter?" Li Xiu spoke again.

This time, no thunder interrupted his speech.

Yet the person in the rocking chair seemed to be in deep sleep, not hearing Li Xiu.

"If you don’t respond, I’ll assume you’ve agreed," Li Xiu said, noting the bride’s silence beside him, and he bent down to enter the cabin, closing the door behind him.

"My silence doesn’t mean consent," came a hoary voice from the direction of the rocking chair as soon as Li Xiu closed the door.

The person in the chair didn’t rise, remaining in the same position.

"I’m sorry, the rain outside is too heavy, I just want to take shelter. I knocked earlier," Li Xiu explained.

"You knocked, but I didn’t invite you in," the elderly voice continued.

"Apologies, if there’s anything I can do to make amends, I’m willing to express my apologies," Li Xiu said, looking at the rocking chair.

"I’ll say it, but will you dare?" The person said, pressing his hands on the chair’s armrests, rising from the chair.

Once he stood, he turned to Li Xiu, who now saw his appearance, an elderly person in his seventies or eighties, his face full of wrinkles.

"Are you human?" Li Xiu scrutinized the elder, surprised to find no trace of demonic features or aura, clearly just an old man.

"Aren’t you human?" The old man retorted coldly.

"I’m human too," Li Xiu chuckled, "I just didn’t expect to meet a fellow here. How should I address you, sir?"
