Chapter 61 - Gorgeous Doctor (8) (2/2)
“What?” Hui Xue was a little confused about Ming Shu’s unexpected question. “What kind of colorful egg?”
“I’m wondering whether it’s edible.”
“…” Our Miss didn’t listen to me at all. Hui Xue took a deep breath. “Miss, we’re arriving at the Mountain of Dragon Bones.”
Dragon?
“Can I eat it?”
Hui Xue tried hard to force a smile on her face. “No, you can’t. The Mountain of Dragon Bones is very dangerous.”
Death Valley, because of its need for a variety of rare and treasured herbs, often came in and out of the Windy Mountain Range of Demons. From one generation to another, the Valley gradually composed the most exhaustive, detailed map of it on the Continent.
And the Mountain of Dragon Bones…
“Miss, did you just say the Mountain of Dragon Bones?” Feng Cheng’s escort showed up out of nowhere, looking at them with a somewhat distorted expression. “How do you know this is the Mountain of Dragon Bones?”
Liu Feng appeared all of a sudden with a cold face. He blocked the escort’s access to Ming Shu and Hui Xue.
The escort wasn’t surprised at all since he had already seen Liu Feng’s actual strength. “Miss Zhi Po, I meant no harm, I just happened to hear you mention the Mountain of Dragon Bones.”
Hui Xue quickly folded the map, staring at him with alert eyes.
The escort’s gaze gleamed a little. It was surprising that they should have a map.
Even the royal map, which had been drawn by countless people for the royal family, couldn’t provide any useful information on this place.
But these three’s map seemed to still be viable, and it mentioned the Mountain of Dragon Bones…
Who are they?
“Oh, it’s time to eat.” Ming Shu uttered this sentence rather abruptly. She turned her eyes as if she just saw the escort standing in front of her and, surprised, she asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Miss zhi Po, just now this Miss said this is the Mountain of Dragon Bones.” The escort expressed his doubts. “Is it?”
“Really?” Ming Shu turned to ask Hui Xue.
Hui Xue covered her chest with her hands, face dark. How should I answer? Or should I shut up? If I say something wrong, Miss will be angry again.
The escort didn’t get the answer he wanted, but was driven away. He then returned to Feng Cheng helplessly.
“I’m so hungry. Liu Feng, go get some food.” Ming Shu chose a place to sit down, holding her chin. She watched Feng Cheng’s group from a distance. “What kind of place is the Mountain of Dragon Bones?”
“The Mountain of Dragon Bones is one of the most dangerous places in the Windy Mountain Range of Demons. It’s rumored that this place was buried beneath dragon bones. The resentment of the dead dragon has taken root here. Anyone who entered the Mountain wouldn’t be able to leave alive, so disciples of our Valley would walk around to avoid it,” Hui Xue answered quickly while muttering to herself, Doesn’t the Miss know this already?
“That’s awesome.”
“Miss, the point is we seem to be near the Mountain of Dragon Bones now.”
“Okay.”
Hui Xue almost lost her mind. Miss, can’t you be a little more nervous?
…
“I heard her mention the Mountain of Dragon Bones,” the escort reported to Feng Cheng. “They seem to have a map, but I didn’t see it clearly. Who are they, Lord?”
Feng Cheng glanced at Ming Shu’s side. He also wanted to know who they were.
“Go and bring Bai Yanran here.”
“Yes, my Lord.”
Bai Yanran thought Feng Cheng called her for some good reason. She came along with a happy and shy expression, but was only asked about the matter of Ming Shu.
Bai Yanran hated Ming Shu secretly in her heart, but she didn’t dare to show that resentment on her face. She belittled Ming Shu using both overt and covert words, exaggerating the facts at her own will.
“In the beginning, she offered her services. Now that I think about the whole thing, I have to say she must’ve hidden her evil purpose. Fortunately she exposed herself early, or I would still be in the dark.” Bai Yanran looked entirely miserable. “I was so kind to her but she used me. I’m sorry, Lord, it’s all because I trust people so easily.”
