"Child, go save him!" Her parents, who had died three years ago, appeared in a dream, telling their daughter to go to the graveyard to save a living being.
Thinking it was just a nigh...
"Uncle, perhaps the entrance to the Lake of Warning is in Tongling City..." Just as Mercury was wondering where to go, Wan'er's voice came through the fluttering ribbon.
"Alright, here I come." Upon hearing this, Mercury quickly activated her spiritual power, lifted her foot, and ascended upwards...
"Wait, what about us!" Mercury had barely stepped onto the magical ribbon when the barrier around Silver Mirror Lake vanished, revealing white lotus blossoms and jade-green leaves on the lakeshore…
"Great, everyone's here." Li'er, Jiu Yue, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Mei had already taken the lead and climbed the vines. Where the fluorescent light flickered, they followed closely behind Wan'er and the others.
"Wan'er, your uncle is here." Mercury arrived shortly after, and Wan'er reached out to lead her uncle up the vines...
"Sister Wan'er, we've arrived too." When Bai He and Bi Yu appeared before Wan'er, their faces flushed and hands clasped together, their eyes sparkled and smiles appeared on their lips.
"You arrived so quickly?" Wan'er was somewhat surprised. How could the two of them, with their low spiritual power, have arrived here so quickly?
"This matter will have to be asked of the King." Bai He raised her hand to cover her mouth, exchanged a smile with Bi Yu, and the two of them separated, extending their right hands, which they had hidden behind their backs, forward one after the other, palms facing up. A blue light appeared on each of their palms...
"Sister, did you see that? Actually, when the King left, he gave us a portion of his spiritual power. He told us that as long as blue light appeared in our palms, it meant that the demons had been destroyed. Then we could follow the blue light to find you."
“Yes, sister, the king is kind and benevolent. He won’t even abandon us, women with weak spiritual power.” Biyu’s throat choked with emotion, and her eyes also shone with starlight.
"So that's how it is." Wan'er nodded, looked at Mo Tian, took his hand, and began to subtly apply force.
“Yes, our king is truly wise,” Bai He added proudly.
"Let's hurry up, otherwise the color of these vines will fade and they'll disappear quickly. If that happens, we'll have to find another entrance." Seeing that they were chatting happily and moving too slowly, Mo Tian turned around and pulled Wan'er forward quickly.
Seeing this, the others exchanged glances, nodded in acknowledgment, and quickened their pace.
Enveloped in fluorescent light, the group swiftly traversed the clouds and mist, accompanied by the swaying of vines, the only sound the whooshing wind in their ears…
After an unknown amount of time, Wan'er suddenly slowed her pace, turned to look at Mo Tian, and a hint of annoyance flickered in her eyes. "Why aren't we here yet?"
"Don't rush," Mo Tian said, taking a few steps back and slowing down his pace.
"Sister, we'll be there soon," Bai He looked up at the clouds and mist ahead, a hint of excitement in her eyes. "I can smell the fragrance of spiritual fruit."
As Bai He spoke, Mo Tian reached out and pulled Wan'er to his chest, giving her a loud kiss on the forehead. "Wan'er is tired, you should go first."
A blush instantly spread across her face. Wan'er tried to dodge, but Mo Tian's arm was like an iron band, holding her tightly. She couldn't break free for a moment. "Mo Tian, you're bad!"
“You…” Bai He was stunned for a moment.
"What do you mean 'you'? Let's go." Biyu stepped forward, reached out and shoved her aside, and whispered a reminder, "Let's not be third wheels, let's go."
"Hehe!" Bai He realized what was happening and covered her mouth to laugh. She and Bi Yu helped each other and walked past the two of them.
Seeing this, the others naturally understood the situation and followed them to take a detour...
