Nothing Is Impossible

Next to the lake, Su Yuehan was watching everything unfold in shock.

She had never seen such a thing in her ancient lifetime!

Li Chengfeng was completely coc.o.o.ned within countless green leaves and vines. Colourful flowers even bloomed swiftly, yet wilting after a few moments and falling off, turning into soil.

The plants continued to grow, bloom, wilt, fall… then grow, and bloom again…

The cycle seemed to last forever!

She wanted to step forward to look closer but in just a single step, all the vines around him suddenly stood up vertically, snaking and waving to form a screen!

Obviously, this was no obstacle to the great Su Yuehan. With a chuckle, she extended an arm only for a vine to suddenly strike the back of her hand like a whip. Her skin broke and bled immediately!

She was first startled, then raised an eyebrow slowly and licked the wound. The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Interesting…” She regarded the green wall, itching to challenge it. After some thought, she gave up and floated upwards, then flew around to check out her surroundings.

After circling the area, she returned to notice upon landing that the vines were no longer growing. They had started to wilt and crumble, turning into ashy detritus.

She was also observant enough to notice that half of the greenery around the lake was gone now, especially that the moss-covered cliff faces had turned bare.

She stared at him for a long time, growing suspicious. What sort of spell was this? Did he heal himself using plants?

With a dull moan, Chengfeng slowly came to. She quickly came to his side, her sharp, intelligent gaze turning into a panicked girl's frantic expression.

“Young MAster, you're finally awake!”

Annoyed that the first thing he heard was loud weeping by his ear, he scolded, “Stop crying or I'll die right here!”

The weeping stopped immediately, turning into a soft sob.

He turned to see that Su Yuehan had fallen to her knees by his side, wiping her tears.

He smiled. “Can't believe a pretty girl like you ended up here with me in the underworld. It's such a pity!”

“Young Master, what are you talking about? You're not dead,” she cried.

“I'm not?!” He leapt up and looked at the sky. He saw the cliff faces surrounding them and the misty skies, then the lake nearby.

He felt around his body, gasping, “I didn't die after falling from such a height? And you're fine too?”

She closed both fists and said sincerely, “The heavens must be watching over us, that must be why we didn't die!”

He stretched his arms and legs. “I'm not injured at all?!”

He thought about the …dream he had and wondered, 'Was it because of that dream?'

It couldn't be?!

Chengfeng had many questions but suddenly thought of something and his expression changed. He grabbed Su Yuehan and yelled, “Had you gone mad?! You did not have to drag me with you if you wanted so badly to kill yourself!”

She pouted and said tearfully, “I panicked…”

“Panicked?” Li Chengfeng did not believe her. “You panicked and then tried to kill us both?”

Large drops of tears fell down her face. “I admit that it was my fault, please forgive me, Young Master.”

Pretty girls were Chengfeng's weakness. This was a swindler who could cheat an entire family, yet unable to stand a pitiful, crying girl.

Startled, he said, “Alright, alright. But I won't let you go next time! I'm not saving you if you fall next time!”

She smiled through her tears. “Just let me fall if it happens again!”

He laughed. “Of course!” Then he paused and looked at her. “You fell so far, yet you weren't injured at all?”

She blushed and muttered unwillingly, “I… fell on you when we landed in the water, that's why… I wasn't injured.”

He glared. “So, that means you were the reason I fell, and then you used me as a cus.h.i.+on? I have not met a handmaiden like you!”

She lowered her head. “I'm willing to accept punishment, Young Master.”

His heart clenched, seeing as she looked so pitiful. He turned and looked around. Changing the subject, he said, “Where is this? I have taken this road so many times and yet I never knew this place existed at the bottom of the valley. How do we get out?”

She blinked at him as if to say, 'How would I know?'.
