"Girl disguised as a boy" + "Past life and present life" + "Xianxia" + "1V?" I've disguised myself as a boy in this life, how did you still manage to find me? I&...
The group met at the harbor, and upon seeing the enormous treasure ship docked there, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Wow—!"
This treasure ship was enormous, like a moving palace. It had three decks, each decorated with dazzling gold and exquisite beauty.
At the bow and stern of the ship hung a huge plaque inlaid with the golden characters "Wind and Rain." These pure gold plaques shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, making the entire treasure ship appear even more luxurious and noble.
From the lines of the hull to the carvings in the details, every aspect showcases exquisite craftsmanship. Every corner and every design exudes an aura of wealth, as if proclaiming to the world the power and status of its owner.
"Please, esteemed guests, board the ship." The people from Fengyulou had been waiting for a long time and respectfully welcomed the group onto the ship.
Wang Jingyuan led the way and swaggered onto the ship.
Having received instructions from their young master, Fengyulou had already made all the necessary preparations, providing everything from food and drink to entertainment, ensuring they wouldn't be bored on their journey.
When the group saw Li Mingke dressed as a woman again, they couldn't hide their surprise and delight.
"Mingke, you're so beautiful!" Ma Gege circled around her, looking her up and down.
"I knew I couldn't have been mistaken! It was clearly a fairy! Mingke, you even kept it from me!" She pretended to be angry and pouted.
Chen Zifeng stood silently to the side, observing from afar. He never imagined that Li Mingke was actually a woman. Since men and women are different, he needed another way to befriend Li Mingke.
Just then, a servant brought in some fresh fruits, and the group sat down together to eat and chat.
"Why did everyone choose the Misty Realm as their target this time? Is there some reason behind it?" Li Mingke asked while eating a melon.
“I don’t have any special ideas!” Ma Gege swallowed the sweet apricot in her mouth. “Because the places we went to before mainly found herbs, which were quite precious, but they didn’t feel like an adventure or treasure hunt at all. This time, I want something more exciting.”
"Oh? Exciting?" Li Mingke didn't quite understand.
"One story is that a giant butterfly whale lives in the Misty Realm. The land in the Misty Realm is not land, but the back of the butterfly whale. This butterfly whale has stayed in the Misty Realm because it is guarding a huge treasure."
"Wow—" Li Mingke's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Ma Gege shrugged and said, "We don't know the truth, but that's what the book says."
“Not only that!” Bai Tianshui continued, “There is a saying that the Butterfly Whale was originally a very ferocious beast, but it was subdued by a powerful senior. The senior placed one of his important treasures in the Misty Realm and ordered the Butterfly Whale to guard it, which is why the Butterfly Whale has never left.”
Li Mingke couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" again.
"So, are we going to search for the treasure left behind by that powerful senior?"
"That's what we think, but whether we can find it or not is uncertain."
"Oh well, consider it an eye-opening experience!" Li Mingke felt that finding treasure was unlikely; if it were possible, would they even have a chance? But she was very curious about the butterfly whale. Was there really such a huge divine beast? Could its back form land?
The treasure ship sailed for three days and three nights before reaching the edge of the Misty Realm.
As the thick fog dissipated, a patch of green land suddenly appeared in what was once an endless sea.
"Is this the back of a butterfly whale?"
The land is lush and green, like an isolated island.
Li Mingke felt a strange attraction.
Suddenly, as she was observing the scenery on the island, her eyes were dazzled.
It felt like sunlight was being reflected into her eyes.
Normally, this shouldn't be the case!
Could there really be a treasure?
Is she really that lucky?
"Jingyuan, bring the boat closer, we're going to the island!"
Wang Jingyuan readily agreed, "Okay!"
An hour later, the treasure ship arrived at the edge of the island.
The group jumped off the boat, and Wang Jingyuan told the boat to wait for them on the shore.
"I was just blinded by something. It didn't look like the kind of light that comes from nature. I think it must be treasure!" Li Mingke was extremely excited and called everyone to follow her.
"Cousin, are you seasick? I can't see you." The ground was covered with uneven stones, and Wang Jingyuan hopped around.
Just behind them, a loud explosion suddenly erupted, startling everyone so much that they immediately covered their heads and crouched on the ground.
"Chen Zifeng, what are you doing!" Ma Gege shouted angrily.
The others squatted down, but Chen Zifeng stood upright. Not far from him was a huge crater created by the explosion, and he was holding several explosive talismans in his hand.
Chen Zifeng looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, wasn't this island supposed to be the back of a butterfly whale? But I see that the ground is all mud and rocks, just like normal land. So I thought I'd peel back the surface layer of soil to see if the bottom is the skin of a butterfly whale."
But he was clearly disappointed. "The explosive tokens were already quite deep, but underneath was still just dirt and rocks."
Bai Tianshui clutched his head and wailed, "Zifeng, that's just a legend! Besides, if it were true, what if you did this and woke up the butterfly whale? That's a ferocious beast!"
They're going to die without a proper burial!
"Ah, sorry..." Chen Zifeng silently put down the explosive tag in his hand.
"Come on, come on, everything's fine now, right? Follow me, I'll take you to find treasure!" Li Mingke was clearly carried away.
Since none of them had a specific destination in mind, and Li Mingke seemed so interested, they decided to just follow her.
Throughout the journey, Wang Jingyuan practically became Li Mingke's sycophant, showering her with compliments until Li Mingke felt flattered. Although she repeatedly waved her hands, saying "No, no," "Not at all," and "You flatter me," she couldn't help but raise her chin.
But when she learned that Ma Gege, Bai Tianshui, Chen Zifeng and the others had also made great progress, she pulled her chin back.
"Mingke, how much longer do we have to walk? Are you seeing things?" The irregular stones underfoot made Bai Tianshui's feet ache, and she couldn't help but want to summon Xiao Cai, who was sleeping in her Qiankun bag.
I'm used to riding birds, so walking this much is really not my usual routine.
"We should be almost there..." Li Mingke put his hand over his eyes, trying to see where the glowing object was, but no matter how he adjusted the angle, he couldn't see anything. It was just trees and rocks, nothing glowing.
"...Should be? Mingke, you must be mistaken." Bai Tianshui simply found a relatively flat rock and sat down.
Wang Jingyuan, disregarding his image, plopped down on the ground. "Cousin, let's take a break!"
He had been walking for quite a while and was getting a little hungry.
"Didn't you eat a lot on the boat just now?" Li Mingke asked his cousin.
"It's all digested!" He took out a water bag from his Qiankun bag and gulped it down.
"Why don't we take a break?" Chen Zifeng suggested.
Although Ma Gege did not speak, she showed her support with her actions by taking the sword off her back and placing it beside her.
"Are you all tired?" Li Mingke looked at the four people sitting in a circle. She wasn't tired at all!
"How about this, you guys rest for a bit, I'll go check ahead and catch up with you when you've rested enough."
“Okay, cousin, you go ahead!” Wang Jingyuan waved to her.
"Cousin, you've found the treasure! Don't forget to tell us!" Li Mingke had already run quite a distance, so he had to shout loudly.
"good--"
"Mingke has great stamina." Bai Tianshui ate a bag of pastries she had just taken from the boat and shared them with the others.
"Yes, it was a bit of a surprise!" Ma Gege stuffed a whole piece of red date cake into her mouth.
Chen Zifeng was also a little hungry, but he ate very elegantly.
Li Mingke felt an inexhaustible energy in her body. The bright light that had just been emitted came from the mountaintop, so she ran up the mountain.
The mountain wasn't very high, and she climbed to the top without much effort.
"Treasure~ Treasure~ Where is the treasure?" she sang as she searched.
Finally, after parting a few huge leaves, a hidden cave appeared before her eyes.
"Is the light coming from here?" This cave looks like a place where treasures are hidden.
Let's go in and take a look!
She summoned the Jade Shard, and a fierce sword gust shattered the blockage sealing the cave entrance.
"Wow—" She was blinded by the light inside the cave.
With the cave looking like this, it would be a shame if there weren't any treasures inside!
