The dream was both real and illusory, and she felt as if she were walking on clouds, unable to place her feet on solid ground. Although Nan Xian was conscious, her mind was involuntarily drawn into a fog of confusion.

As she parted the fog, she passively followed the unseen guidance and moved forward.

It was a cave that appeared in her dream by pure chance.

The cave is located in a dense forest, in a secluded spot, with its entrance hidden by hanging vines, making it difficult to see.

The vines are covered with tiny pink buds, each the size of a fingernail, so densely packed that from a distance they look like a blanket embroidered with colorful patterns.

As she approached, the pink flowers seemed to come alive, blooming all at once towards her, revealing their tender yellow stamens.

Nan Xian exclaimed inwardly and couldn't help but reach out to touch them. As soon as her fingertips touched one of the flowers, it fell from the vine and slid into her palm with the wind.

Its extremely soft and delicate texture makes one reluctant to apply even the slightest pressure, for fear of crushing its tender petals.

She carefully carried it and slowly walked along the path revealed by the unfolded vines.

At first, the path was very narrow and cramped, barely allowing her to squeeze in sideways. It then became wider, but gradually the light disappeared, and the passage became completely dark.

Nan Xian became more cautious with her steps. Just then, she suddenly felt the flower in her palm growing larger and larger, filling her entire palm in just a few breaths.

She looked down in surprise and suddenly noticed that its tender yellow stamens were shimmering with light.

As the flower grew larger, its light became brighter. In the end, Nanxian even needed to hold it in both hands, and its light, like a bright lamp, illuminated the path in front of her.

She carried this special "lantern" through the passageway.

As it shrank back to the size of a fingernail, Nan Xian heard the sound of flowing water, and then her vision suddenly opened up; it turned out that the depths of this cave held a hidden world—

This is a unique little world, full of life, with birds singing, flowers blooming, clear water flowing, and a thriving scene.

A narrow path extends from the green grass, leading to the mountain peak shrouded in clouds and mist.

The summit, covered in snow and ice, reflects a beautiful, star-like light under the sun.

All of this seemed to resemble the secluded paradise described in the book.

Nan Xian was momentarily stunned. The wind blowing in her face carried a rich fragrance, causing her to unconsciously close her eyes and take a deep breath.

A small blue bird fluttered its wings and flew down from the branch, landing on her hand. It then bent down and snatched the flower away.

Nan Xian opened her eyes, looked at her empty palm, and subconsciously chased after the bird in the direction it had flown away.

It flew to the top of the mountain and soon disappeared without a trace.

She chased after the mountain, sweating profusely, and stood panting on the spot, supporting herself on her knees. Looking up at the mountain peak, it seemed so far away that she could never climb it.

If only there were a way to teleport...

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt a gust of wind beneath her feet, as if someone had given her a hard push from behind, propelling her straight forward.

The trees that had been standing beside her retreated rapidly, disappearing from sight every few moments, while the once unreachable mountain peak now appeared before her eyes.
