“Okay~” Zuan replied, while secretly thinking that this guy was really missing a screw in his head.

Swimming to the shore, Zuan's eyes lit up. A light blue dress, with a white ribbon tied around her slender waist, made her look even more delicate and slender.

Her big eyes blinked rapidly, like a talking doll standing there. For a moment, Zu'an was a little dazed, thinking he had seen Saito Asuka.

However, Zaun immediately realized an awkward situation: his clothes weren't there!

"Why don't you get up?" The girl glanced at the man in the water, her face flushed slightly, and she quickly turned her face away.

"Didn't I just say I was dizzy and washed up here by the water? I don't know where my clothes are." Zu An thought to himself, what a shy girl.

The girl tilted her head and pondered for a moment: "Since you were swept here by the current, your clothes should be upstream."

"Can you come with me to look for her? I'm a little scared to go alone." Relationships are like springs; when one side weakens, the other becomes stronger. He had initially worried about being chased, but upon discovering that this girl was shy and timid, he couldn't help but feel an urge to tease her.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, you don't need to worry so much. There aren't any ferocious beasts around this river. Of course, a lot of wild animals will come here to drink water in the evening, but as long as you don't provoke the fierce black jackals of Jackal Valley, there won't be any major problems."

"What's this thing?" Zuan observed the sleeping Red-Eyed Rhinoceros up close and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. This thing was fucking huge.

The girl blushed: "Actually, it came out of Dragon Hidden Mountain with me."

Zuan was taken aback: "You went deep into Dragon Hidden Mountain?" Even a fool would know that there must be many incredibly powerful beasts deep in Dragon Hidden Mountain. He had heard countless warnings not to go deep into the mountains, yet this little girl dared to go in alone? Does that mean she is extremely strong?

Zuan regretted it a little. He had just thought of bullying her. Was he being too reckless?

“Yes, some of these medicines can only be found deep in Dragon Hidden Mountain.” The girl slung a medicine basket over her shoulder, her smile bright and pure. “Let’s go, I’ll go with you to get your clothes.”

"Thank you, young lady," Zu An said as he swam in the water. "By the way, my name is Zu An. May I ask what your name is, young lady?" Knowing that the other party was powerful, he naturally wanted to try to get closer to her.

“Zu’an? That’s a strange name,” the girl muttered to herself for a few moments before answering, “My name is Ji Xiaoxi.”

Zuan laughed: "Your name sounds much better than mine."

The girl blushed slightly, clearly a little embarrassed.

Noticing this, Zuan was certain that she was indeed a gentle girl, and his courage grew a bit: "Xiao Xi, since you went deep into Dragon Hidden Mountain to gather herbs, your level must be very high, right?"

Ji Xiaoxi shook her head and said without any suspicion, "I only have a third-grade cultivation level. The reason I was able to enter the depths of the mountains is because my father gave me this."

As she spoke, she took out a transparent bottle and shook it; inside were some bluish powdery substances.

Zuan was taken aback: "What's that?"

Ji Xiaoxi replied, "This is made from dried dragon dung. It naturally carries the aura of the dragon race, which is why ferocious beasts deep in the mountains avoid it from afar when they smell it."

Zaun was secretly alarmed; dragons really did exist in this world.

After putting the glass bottle away, Ji Xiaoxi couldn't help but mutter, "It's a pity this stuff smells so bad, so after I came out of the mountains, I couldn't help but take a shower and change my clothes. I never expected... I never expected to run into you."

"That's fate," Zuan laughed, then, seeing the girl's slightly annoyed expression, quickly changed the subject. "Wait a minute, if that's the case, why did that red-eyed rhinoceros attack you just now?"

"It's because it's stupid," Ji Xiaoxi explained. "The Red-Eyed Rhinoceros has a very poor sense of smell, so it can't smell the dragon dung and is naturally not afraid. In addition, it holds grudges. I accidentally provoked it when I passed through its territory, and I didn't expect it to chase me here."

"I see." Zu'an suddenly realized, and thinking of the size of that red-eyed rhinoceros, he suddenly had an idea.

The two chatted as they walked upstream, and soon returned to the place where Zaun had first entered the water, his clothes still neatly left behind.

"Xiao Xi, could you turn around?" Zu An wasn't really bothered by being seen, but he was afraid of being mistaken for a pervert by the girl.

Ji Xiaoxi blushed and nodded, then walked away to the back of a big tree. Zu An quickly went ashore, put on his clothes, and checked that Gou Bao was still there. He also found that the loose silver he had scavenged from the Twelve Plum Blossoms was still there, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm all changed," Zuan called out.

Ji Xiaoxi then emerged from behind the big tree, and upon seeing his appearance, she was somewhat stunned.

Zu An subconsciously touched his face: "What? Is something wrong?"
