Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Everything in the World Can Be Given Up!

The other party didn’t seem to care about Liu Sisi’s question at all.

“Your question is strange. Heilong Mountain is so vast and has been around for countless years. How could I possibly be someone from Heilong Mountain? Wouldn’t that make me an old monster?”

“You don’t want to say it, do you? Fine! Since you won’t say it, I’ll take my leave!”

Having said that, Liu Sisi turned to leave without any hesitation.

“Wait! Don’t go.”

The other party suddenly reached out and grabbed Liu Sisi’s arm, pulling her back forcefully.

“Let go!”

Liu Sisi was prepared and quickly slid her hand, cutting the back of his hand. The silk glove ripped, revealing a white hand.

The other person apparently had no defense, and her cut left a bloody mark on his hand, with fresh blood seeping out immediately.

“Wow! Women truly have poisonous hearts, as the saying goes!”

He didn’t even furrow his eyebrows, instead raising his hand, licking the blood off with the tip of his tongue, and lifting his head to smile enchantingly: “Little beauty, are you so eager for me to take care of you?”

Such a captivating smile, paired with the judge’s mask, looked utterly out of place.

“Are you done messing around? Can we just speak openly?”

Liu Sisi crossed her arms and glared at him: “Who are you, really? Why did you spare me back then? Why have you helped me so much since? And, were the people that came to the County Magistrate’s residency your men? Why have you come to see me today?”

“Tsk tsk tsk… You have so many questions, and your grievances run deep.”

The other person suddenly listened for a moment before saying with a smile, “Some small fries are approaching. Let’s go! We’ll find another place, and I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”

“Where to?”

“Shh! Don’t talk, just follow me!”

In a flash, Liu Sisi felt herself being lifted into the arms of the other person. They leapt into the air and flew away.

As she turned, she saw two familiar figures slowly climbing up the slope from below.

She opened her mouth to shout, but suddenly felt a pain in her ribs and her body was immobilized.

All her words were stifled, transformed into unvoiced sobs. She could only let the other person carry her through the air, as the biting cold wind scraped her face, making it impossible for her to open her eyes.

Finally, the wind stopped. She opened her eyes and found herself in a garden.

Facing the biting cold and the falling snow, the garden was filled with proud plum blossoms. Their fragrance was so rich and elegant, such an ice-cold jade beauty. The white blossoms resembled the snow, the red ones shone like fire, the yellow ones were more splendid than gold and silver, and the pink ones looked like colorful clouds filling the sky. Dancing in the cold wind and falling snow, the plum blossoms exuded a fresh and elegant scent, making one feel incredibly refreshed and exhilarated, unable to contain themselves.

Amidst the breathtaking scenery, Liu Sisi suddenly forgot everything around her, not even realizing that she had regained her ability to move.

“This whole plum garden was personally planted by me for her. She loved plum blossoms, especially the cold blossoms that bloomed facing the chilly wind. Unfortunately, now the plum trees remain, and the plum blossoms are still in full bloom, while she has long turned into a handful of yellow earth. I no longer have the scenery for appreciating the plum blossoms, allowing the flowers to bloom and wither with each year passing faster than the last.”
