C13 vinegar eater (1/2)
After dinner, Shangguan Wan went out to find the salted tree, not letting anyone follow her.
She had verified all the wood in the vicinity of the Hall of Return of the Phoenix. Now, she had to continue searching elsewhere.
Ai, I really don't know which damned person built this palace so big.
The sun faded and the jade toad gradually appeared.
Shangguan Wan seriously 'drew blood', the pain in her right palm was faint.
She knew it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but there was no other way.
Perhaps, there was no such thing as salted wood in the world. Perhaps, even if there was, it was not in the Palace of Xuanding.
But, didn't people live with a glimmer of hope? So did the demons.
As the night descended, the sky was filled with stars. The bright moonlight scattered across the ground like a layer of white frost.
Unknowingly, she had been searching for four hours when she heard the sound of knocking not too far away.
”Time to go back.” She murmured softly and turned to walk, but she bumped into someone.
After entering the palace for the past few days, she had not encountered anything worth being happy about. Today, however, she was very lucky to have come to visit an old friend.
This old friend's name was Rong Xiu, and they grew up together.
The person who had told her about the incident with the Aral Dawn Wood was him.
”Luoluo, are you okay?” He transformed into a humanoid cultivator with delicate and handsome features. He had a gentle, refined, and modest appearance.
Luoluo was the nickname he had given to her when he was a child. He had originally thought that when he grew up he would change his name, but he had no idea that he had long since gotten used to it.
”Very good!” In front of him, she could temporarily return to the world.
”Oh yes, how is sister? Is she well? You should persuade her to go out and get more sun. ” Because of the birthmark on her face, her elder sister, Yun You, rarely went out to see people. Over the past few hundred years, the number of times she had come out of the fox cave could be counted on one hand.
”She's fine. She asked me to come and see you, worried that something might have happened to you.”
Actually, he was worried about her as well. He had always been worried about her.
He had once regretted telling her that there was such a thing as the Salt Spring Wood in this world. He knew that she would not hesitate to help him find it. The affection between the two sisters was truly unfathomable.
In the past three hundred years, she had never left Qing Qiu. To her, this trip to Mystic Rest was an extremely big challenge.
