"Are there any forbidden areas in the manor?" Leng Yue thought that since there were elders, there must be a place where they lived.

Andrew shook his head. "This manor is forbidden territory for me."

“Alright, let’s look for it ourselves,” Leng Yue decided to search around and see if there were any clues.

"Want to come along?" Qianchen glanced back at Andrew before walking out the door.

"Can I...?" Andrew was also very curious about what secrets were hidden in this manor.

However, Andrew was also worried that if the other vampires found out, he would be killed.

As Andrew hesitated, Leng Yue urged Qian Chen, "Is there anything else?"

Qianchen glanced back at Andrew again, shook her head, and said, "No." Then she left with Leng Yue. They were no longer the partners they once were, and there was no need to force it.

After Qianchen left, Andrew let his arms hang limply. There was nothing he could do; he was just a coward without courage.

Leng Yue and Qian Chen arrived at the garden in the manor, which was densely covered with blood-red roses. These roses bloomed in the depths of winter, swaying freely in the cold wind.

"What kind of flowers are these? How come they are so frost-resistant?" Leng Yue didn't like growing flowers, so she didn't know much about them.

Based on her limited knowledge of botany, she couldn't explain why the roses could survive the cold winter and the freezing wind outdoors without being damaged by the cold.

As Leng Yue spoke, she curiously squatted down to take a look, but in the end she still felt that the flower was indeed a rose of the Rosaceae family, and not some other variety.

"Could it have mutated?" Leng Yue muttered to herself, fiddling with the petals.

"What are you doing? Why are you acting like a child?" Qianchen walked along and then realized that Leng Yue was gone. She turned around and saw Leng Yue squatting on the ground looking at the flowers.

Qianchen was also helpless. It was Leng Yue who urged him to leave, and it was also Leng Yue who was squatting there and refusing to move. There was nothing he could do but turn around and call her.

Qian Chen walked up to Leng Yue in a few steps. "What are you looking at? You seem so lost in thought."

“Look over there, something seems a bit strange.” Leng Yue pointed to a rose bush next to her. “Look, that rose is the most vibrant and the biggest.”

Qianchen looked over and exclaimed, "Wow, it's so big! Could this be a peony?"

Leng Yue shook her head. "No, it's a rose. But look, it's several times bigger than the ones next to it. What do you think, should I pick it and see?"

"Aren't we going to go look for it?" Qianchen sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"Wait a minute, I'm coming." Leng Yue couldn't explain what was wrong with her, but she just wanted to pull up that rose bush.

The rose was large, with a well-developed root system; even a little effort might not be enough to pull it out. "I knew this one was strange; look, I can't even lift it," Leng Yue said, increasing her strength as she finally sat down on the ground with a "thump."

Qianchen quickly came over and pulled her up from the ground. "Look at you, so reckless! You're not a child anymore!"

"Look here, Qianchen, look here!" Leng Yue's clothes were covered in mud, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she grabbed Qianchen's hand and shouted.

"This is the bead we've been looking for!" Leng Yue exclaimed with delight. "Look, this flame-like color is our bead."

A fiery red bead lay in Leng Yue's hand. Qian Chen took it and found that the bead felt different from what he had seen.

This flame bead, fiery on the outside, is calm on the inside. Holding it in your hand, you can almost feel the flames burning quietly, and even hear the crackling sound of the burning. It evokes the feeling of an open-air campfire—silent, vast, and peaceful!

"But how do you know this bead is the one we're looking for?" Qianchen handed the bead to Lengyue.

"I have a feeling...didn't you say before that there would be a connection between me and the beads?" Leng Yue held them in her hands, looking at them endlessly. "Look, I found them so easily, didn't I?"

"Good, good. Now we're one step closer to saving Zero." Qianchen said, glancing at the end of the garden. "Let's hurry. Those vampires will definitely be back before dawn."

Leng Yue nodded. "Okay."

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and all the petals of the roses in the garden fell off. Then these petals formed a huge whirlwind, blocking Leng Yue and Qian Chen's path.

"It's become sentient?" Leng Yue looked at the rose whirlwind in front of her in surprise.

Qianchen: This girl can describe anything so perfectly, there's really no way to find the right words!

However, Qianchen only dared to complain in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.

The whirlwind of rose petals stopped, and the petals coalesced into the shape of a woman. Moreover, judging from her appearance, she was clearly of East Asian descent.

"Who are you?" Leng Yue was already used to it. Since they had all become spirits, it was no big deal for one or two people to show up!

The rose girl gently tugged at her skirt and bowed to Leng Yue. A smile graced her face, revealing two shallow dimples. Looking at Leng Yue, she said in a clear, sweet voice, "Master, welcome back."

"Master again? Who are you?" Leng Yue was speechless. Quanxi called her master, Rose Girl called her master, who exactly is she?

"Master, what's wrong? Why don't you remember Butterfly Dance?" The rose girl was a little hurt. "Master, Butterfly Dance has been waiting for you here for so long, so very long. Don't you want Butterfly Dance anymore?"

"Don't be sad, I just forgot something. I'll remember it later." Leng Yue felt like a heartless man, having affairs all over the world, making people wait for her and then hurting these girls.

"I forgot, it's alright, Master will remember soon." Butterfly Dance breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you don't dislike Butterfly Dance."

"No, no, no, no way." Leng Yue quickly waved her hands. Just how afraid were these two of them of being abandoned?

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Leng Yue asked Die Wu, looking at the beads in her hand.

“It’s sealed, Master, look there,” the rose withered, revealing a six-pointed star formation. “This thing ambushed me and trapped me here.”

"Another six-pointed star?" Leng Yue and Qian Chen exchanged glances. "How come there are some here too?"

"Look, this six-pointed star formation isn't as powerful as the previous one," Qian Chen noticed, focusing on a different aspect.

Leng Yue nodded, "Indeed." Then she looked at Die Wu, "Is there a small world inside this bead? Were you here before?"

Butterfly Dance shook her head, "This Flame Pearl is not a small world, it's a spirit pearl."

"What's the use of it?" Leng Yue looked at it, feeling that it wasn't as useful as the small world.

"I don't know. I only remember you telling me to guard it carefully and not let anyone else have it." Butterfly shook her head.

"What about the others? Do you remember why you came here?" Leng Yue asked helplessly. From Die Wu's tone, she knew that her situation was similar to Quan Xi's.

"It seems to be related to the angels here sealing away some evil spirits, but Butterfly Dance doesn't remember the specifics." Butterfly Dance thought for a long time, but still couldn't recall anything.

"It's nothing." Leng Yue shook her head indifferently; after all, it was within her expectations, wasn't it?
