Hua Ying's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and in her sea of ​​consciousness, that faint trace of true spirit gradually became brighter.

Looking at Ziyue's bright smile and her determined gaze, Huaying was somewhat lost in thought.

Could Zi Yue really summon Qin Luo?

"Sister Huaying, what's wrong?"

"Little Purple Moon, you are so beautiful, I can't help but take a second look." Hua Ying smiled gently. She had originally wanted Purple Moon to try calling Qin Luo, but in the end she chose to give up.

Hua Ying was afraid that Zi Yue would fail.

I don't want to see her worrying about Qin Luo all the time.

Zi Yue smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Hua Ying is even prettier."

Hua Ying said softly, "Little Zi Yue, would you like to go to the capital? I'll take you there to play."

Ziyue shook her head helplessly, "I really want to go to the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, but I'm very busy lately. I'll go visit Sister Huaying when I have time later."

A gentle breeze swept through the mountains and forests, the stream babbled, and butterflies fluttered around the purple moon and the shadows of flowers.

Huaying breathed in the fresh mountain air, feeling refreshed. Not far away was Chenjiagou, a wide stone road leading to it. There were many newly built houses around, and people were working in the mountains, their faces beaming with happy smiles. It was much more lively than before.

Ziyue pointed ahead, "That's Black Mountain. It used to be occupied by monsters. After my senior brother eliminated the monsters, he appointed Chen Chang'an as the mountain god. Now the people here live in peace and prosperity."

Hua Ying's eyes gleamed as she saw the dragon vein beneath Black Mountain, a place imbued with immense fortune.

Looking at Black Mountain, Hua Ying's pretty face turned serious. The dragon vein here would affect the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Ziyue brought Huaying to Black Mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, a simply dressed young man sat cross-legged in the bamboo forest, meditating. Stone sensed someone approaching, slowly opened his eyes, and saw that it was Ziyue. He quickly stood up, a bright smile on his face, "Little Fairy."

Shi Tou looked at Hua Ying beside Zi Yue. The older sister in front of him looked fierce, and he scratched his head awkwardly.

Ziyue looked at Huaying and said softly, "Sister Huaying, his name is Shitou. He is exceptionally talented and is learning from the Mountain God. It was my senior brother who sent him here."

"Stone, this is Sister Huaying, she's my senior brother's... friend." Ziyue almost called her a defeated opponent, she remembered that her senior brother used to say that about Huaying.

Upon hearing that Qin Luo had arranged for Shi Tou to come here, Hua Ying smiled and nodded. She said softly, "Shi Tou, you have great talent. Would you be interested in joining the Imperial Observatory?"

Shi Tou shook his head, and said with a simple smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Sister Hua Ying. Brother Qin asked me to study here, and I want to wait for him to come back."

Hua Ying didn't force her. She looked at the mountain god temple, where Chen Chang'an stood outside and bowed.

The incense at the mountain god temple was very strong. Chen Chang'an, who possessed a powerful Yin spirit, bowed with a refined smile and asked, "May I ask what brings you to Black Mountain, fairy?"

Hua Ying wanted to ask about the dragon vein, but she pretended not to know. After a brief moment of thought, she asked softly, "After becoming the mountain god, have you ever regretted it?"

Chen Chang'an smiled and shook his head. He didn't hesitate at all. "Becoming a mountain god has many constraints, but I feel very happy to be able to stay on the land that gave me birth and nurtured me."

“My master told me that a true god has no emotions, is not elated by external gains, nor saddened by personal losses.”

"Xiao Shen is far from reaching that level."

"If a thousand years from now, everything has changed, would you still be willing to be the mountain god here?"

"have no idea."

Chen Chang'an shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Hua Ying had not cultivated the Supreme Ruthless Path for many years, but due to the influence of the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, she felt increasingly distant from this world and increasingly closer to the Supreme Ruthless Path.

Ziyue noticed that Huaying seemed troubled, and she winked playfully. "Sister Huaying, is something bothering you? You can tell me, and I might be able to help you."

Hua Yingyan chuckled softly, "It's alright, let's go for a stroll in the nearby town."

"OK."

Zi Yue nodded with a smile.

Chen Chang'an personally escorted them away from Heishan.

Near Baiyun Town.

When Hua Ying saw the City God Temple, she recalled that snowy night, and her smile deepened. "Your senior brother brought me here before, and we worshipped the City God together."

Zi Yue gazed at Hua Ying with her clear eyes and teased her with a smile, "Sister Hua Ying, you kept mentioning my senior brother on the way here. Do you like him?"

Hua Ying smiled, her pretty face flushed, and her gentle demeanor in that instant spoke volumes.

Seeing the joy in Huaying's eyes, Ziyue couldn't stop smiling. "Sister Huaying, you have such good taste."

Hua Ying wanted to keep her feelings to herself, but she didn't expect Zi Yue to find out. She immediately changed the subject, "There are some things I want to ask the City God. Let's go to the City God Temple first."

"Uh-huh."

Ziyue accompanied Huaying to the City God Temple.

The City God Temple was quiet. Hua Ying and Zi Yue lit incense sticks, and the clay sculptures emitted golden light. Lu Xian appeared in the hall and bowed, saying, "This humble god greets the fairy."

Lu Xian could sense the powerful incense energy contained in Hua Ying's incense stick. He was flattered and said, "Please speak freely, Fairy. There is no need for such formalities."

Hua Ying said softly, "I need a Soul Lotus that is 100,000 years old. I wonder if you have any information about it, Senior?"

Lu Xian bowed and said, "There are Soul Lotuses in the most Yin places of the Underworld. If it is a Soul Lotus that is 100,000 years old, it is probably located in the deepest part of the most Yin places, which is called Purgatory. It is extremely dangerous and a forbidden area that even Yama cannot reach."

Hua Ying then asked, "Senior, have you ever met Qin Luo?"

"No."

Lu Xian smiled and shook his head.

Lu Xian acted naturally, but Hua Ying was afraid to notice that his eyes were darting away. "Little Zi Yue, could you go to town and buy me a string of candied hawthorns first?"
