Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 442 All Things Return to the Garden

Lin Shan looked at the boy in front of her, drenched in sweat but still refusing to let go of her hand as he fled for his life, and felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.

"Zhu Liu, you can run away by yourself."

"what?"

As Zhu Liu looked to escape, he glanced at her as well, his gaze as if he were looking at a lunatic. "Are you out of your mind? If I abandoned you and ran away, would I still be a man?"

"But if this continues, we'll both die..."

Lin Shan's voice trembled with emotion; she didn't want to be a burden to him.

The boy grew even more impatient. "I think you really need to get your head checked. What kind of crazy stuff are you spouting?"

"We're not far from the foot of the mountain. If we just hold on, won't my dad and your dad eventually be able to kill this snake?"

But can they really get to the foot of the mountain?

Zhu Liu hadn't thought about this question.

Keep going, keep going?

Lin Shan looked at the molten fire serpent a meter away and suddenly smiled.

At this moment, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Zhu Liu, if you hate me, why won't you let go of my hand?

That's it.

Lin Shan hardened his heart and was about to strike the boy's wrist with a chop when he suddenly heard a painful scream from behind him!

She was slightly stunned.

Turning around, I saw that the molten serpent, which had been relentlessly pursuing me, had been pierced through seven inches by a tree branch and was writhing on the ground in agony.

This is......

Zhu Liu also heard the commotion behind him. He turned around and glanced back, then pulled Lin Shan forward even harder.

Lin Shan spoke up, "Wait, it....."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Liu retorted impatiently, "Do you want to die? If you don't run now, when will you? Are you waiting for it to break free and eat you?"

"Wasn't it subdued?"

"It's its own business that it's trapped, why are you meddling in its affairs?"

"......"

The two voices faded into the distance.

"This kid knows his stuff."

Feng Siyue stood on the treetop, watching the molten fire serpent slowly lose its life.

At that moment, a blood-red peony appeared out of thin air, adorned with specks of red starlight.

"Master, there's news about that thing."

Feng Siyue slightly raised her eyelashes.

.........

Senyang Hengzhou.

MixC.

Wanxiang City is a bustling city located in the southeast of Hengzhou and bordering the northeast of Luozhou. Its prosperity is in no way inferior to that of the Hengyang Imperial City.

Perhaps it's because of the proximity of several cities, or perhaps it's because of the Wanxiang Guiyuan scenic area, which is only opened once every twenty years.

In MixC, in a private residence in the southeastern suburbs.

Feng Siyue stood under the plum tree, gazing at the plum blossoms as her thoughts drifted slightly away.

Yan Nanfei, dressed in black, appeared behind her respectfully. "Master, Luo San has found out that what you requested is very likely to appear at this Wanxiang Guiyuan event."

The woman's thoughts came to a conclusion, "All things return to the garden?"

"Correct."

"Wanxiang Guiyuan is a hill that the Liu family, a family of alchemists in Wanxiang City, bought at the beginning of their family's establishment. It was originally intended as a site for the family's mausoleum."

"But for some unknown reason, every twenty years, the spiritual energy of this mountain reaches its peak, thus nurturing all kinds of medicinal herbs and spiritual plants."

Feng Siyue said, "Since you are a family specializing in alchemy, we could simply pay you a visit. Why did you lead me here?"

Yan Nanfei explained, "That's right. The first head of the Liu family felt that this was a gift from heaven, so he established a rule."

"It is said that in order to give back to heaven and earth, Wanxiang Guiyuan will be open to the outside world for three days every twenty years, starting from February 18th. People who enter can take away any medicinal herb they find."

take away?

If you can avoid spending money, who would want to bleed?

Feng Siyue lowered her eyes slightly, "What will be left for others if they go into their mountains? Even if there are precious medicinal plants, they will probably have picked them all by themselves."

Yan Nanfei nodded.

“Indeed, Luo San once sneaked into Wanxiang Guiyuan and found that there was nothing particularly good inside. What you want was something she discovered by chance a couple of days ago.”

Feng Siyue asked, "Location?"

"After going up the mountain for eleven miles, there is a deep pool a few hundred meters to the right."

After saying that, Yan Nanfei added, "Luo San's cultivation level is not high enough to break the restriction, so he informed the master."

Feng Siyue slowly placed her hand on the plum blossom branch, gently touching it. "Go down."

Yan Nanfei nodded, "Yes."

Snow began to fall from the sky at some point, and a thin layer of snowflakes covered Feng Siyue's shoulders.

In the vast expanse of space, a white jade tablet lit up. Feng Siyue took out the jade tablet; the trial mission had been updated.

When she saw the details of the task, her expression suddenly became complicated.

As night deepened, Yan Nanfei knocked on the door next door. "Master, the nights at Wanxiang City are quite lively. Would you like to go for a stroll?"

Inside the room, Feng Siyue took off her coat and sat cross-legged in meditation.

"Go ahead."

Yan Nanfei hesitated, then said, "Master..."

The woman's cold voice came from behind.

"Wild geese fly south."

He said nothing, yet he said everything.

Yan Nanfei sighed, "Then I'll go back to my room first."

The people inside the room did not speak.

Yan Nanfei returned to her room. She had intended to meditate and cultivate, but the thought of cultivation vanished. Instead, she stood by the window, gazing at the large, round moon in the sky, her thoughts wandering.

It's been three years.

She made a hand seal, and a red peony appeared.

"Luo Si, keep a close eye on them."
