Chapter 179 - Murals of the Bushmen (1/2)

Lin Luoran and Luodong have a lot of fun in Mount Hua for the next few days.

They not only travel in Mount Hua, but also have a tour inside the Qinling Mountains. Staying at somewhere no one else lives in is actually more comfortable for Lin Luoran.

At night, they stay in a tent put up in the mountain. What they eat mainly comes from the mountains as well. In summer, there will always be a lot of mushrooms in mountains and Luodong has enjoyed all kinds of mushroom soup thanks to that. They have also tasted bird eggs. When Lin Luoran takes eggs from the nests, she just takes half of them, leaving some for the birds to multiply.

In the day, they have fun in the mountains. Lin Luoran teaches Luodong to recognize all kinds of animals and plants. If some rare ones are strange to Lin Luoran, they take photos of them. They also take photos of the beautiful spring, the strange rocks, or even a cute monkey.

Seeing from this perspective, modern technology invented by human beings is actually advisable.

Apart from all the fun they have, Lin Luoran also finds wild mountain ginseng and ganoderma. The former is good in quality as they are about a hundred years old. Therefore, Lin Luoran puts them inside the s.p.a.ce and grow them with ginseng. The ganoderma she finds is ordinary, but it enjoys a good reputation, so Lin Luoran grows some in the s.p.a.ce, too.

In the day, Lin Luoran usually finds a cliff that is suitable for climbing. She goes up to the top and ties the mountaineering rope. While she is waiting on the top, drinking tea, Luodong is trying hard to climb onto the cliff — naturally, Luodong needed to be “rescued” by Lin Luoran at first, but after a few days of climbing, Luodong falls in love with this sport.

They travel all the way to Mount Wuyi. Lin Luoran is “up to no good” here. Night falls and they are still hiding in the Jiulongke Scenery Spot. Lin Luodong thinks for a while and suddenly recognizes what his sister is about to do — but, is it good to be a thief?

Lin Luoran ignores what is happening inside her brother’s mind and she quietly “steals” some branches from one seed tree of Dahongpao tea. Cliff can never resist Wind-riding Spell so she does that easily. If cultivators are up to no good, they can do a lot more harm than ordinary people.

Naturally, Lin Luoran doesn’t just take branches from the seed tree. Although the government has forbidden people to pick leaves from it, Lin Luoran is not sure whether people actually follow the rule or not. She doesn’t want the tree to be withered in the future, which will definitely make tea-lovers sad, so she infuses pure wood Reiki into this tree. It is a big price for the branches!

Lin Luoran planned to plant all kinds of famous tea in her s.p.a.ce, but her plan stops after their tour in Mount Wuyi.

On the one hand, Luodong is about to start school again. She cannot take him play anymore.

On the other hand, Lin Luoran receives a call from Wen Guanjing, who has not met her for three years. He asks her to meet him in R City, saying that there is an emergency.

Wen Guanjing seems to be quite busy these years. He is always on missions abroad. However, when he comes back, he takes care of the Lin family. At least, Lin Luoran has heard her mother ask, “Why is Guanjing not coming?” several times. Apart from her mother’s ulterior motive, Lin Luoran actually likes this friend.

Although Luodong hasn’t had enough fun, he goes back to R City with his sister a few hours later.

Luodong is about to go back to school. Therefore, Mrs. Lin has cleaned the house in the city and moved in. Mr. Lin and Baojia stay in the mountain to continue their cultivation and Goldie feels more comfortable in the mountain as well.

Wen Guanjing waits for her at their house in the city. Lin Luoran arrives home at 3:00 p.m. and she finds Wen Guanjing chatting with her mother. Seeing her daughter coming back wearily, Mrs. Lin feels proud that her daughter finally grows up. Besides, she keeps saying that Luodong gets tanned and thin after the tour.

“Mom, what are you talking about? I’m a man now!” Luodong shows off his muscle, which is an achievement of climbing the mountains.

Mrs. Lin is shocked. This is the first time that he actually calls her “mom”, but Luodong doesn’t give her time to take in. He says, “Mom, I got you some flowers as well, and we took a lot of photos. Come upstairs and I’ll show you…”

He takes Mrs. Lin, who is still in shock, upstairs, and he blinks to Lin Luoran — OMG! Lin Luoran is almost choked by the tea she is drinking. Their relations.h.i.+p is not like that of Pei Yuan and Xia Bingyan. Why is Luodong misunderstanding!

There are only Wen Guanjing and Lin Luoran left in the living room. They haven’t met for a long time and Wen Guanjing breaks the silence, “Sister Lin… No, Uncle Lin, congratulations on successfully laying foundation.”

Lin Luoran “begs for mercy” and says, “Please… Just call me Sister Lin.” In the cultivation world, there is a clear rank. She cannot call Wen Guanjing “Brother” again, or other people will think that Wen Guanjing is arrogant.

“Of course, Sister Lin!” Wen Guanjing takes her advice. He is comfortable with Lin Luoran. After all, they have been in the secret land together and it will be great if they are still close.

Lin Luoran thinks for a while and takes out the Universal Sack kept in the s.p.a.ce. Inside the Universal Sack is one of the twelve jades that open the secret land. It is this piece of jade that helped her get out of the secret land at the very last moment and started her wonderful journey on the sea.

She can refuse to give it back to Chen Yun as she doesn’t like him, but she must give it back to Wen Guanjing.
