Flying on a sword is naturally a hundred times faster than walking.

The snow-capped mountain that Ma Chengrao described as so difficult to traverse that it would kill a large number of people was easily crossed by them in just three hours.

What comes into view is a vast, exceptionally lush wetland.

The lush, wetlands, teeming with flowers, are alive with butterflies and bees, surrounded by pristine white snowmelt—a breathtaking sight, a veritable paradise on earth.

Even high in the sky, one can faintly smell a floral fragrance carrying the scent of decay.

"The scenery here is beautiful, but the miasma is quite strong. Everyone should take an antidote pill before going down, just in case."

Ji Fengyao promptly reminded everyone that her voice was light, crisp, and pleasant to the ear.

The people took the medicine as instructed, and then lowered the sword until it was almost touching the ground.

Just as Wanqi Kafu was about to jump, Ji Fengyao stopped her: "Kafu, don't!"

"What's wrong?" Wanqika asked, puzzled.

Just as Ma Chengrao was about to step down, he heard Ji Fengyao stop Wanqikafu and quickly withdrew his foot to eavesdrop.

“This is a swamp, and the plants are growing very lushly. We have no idea where the swamp is and where the land is. If we were to go through the trouble of exploring every inch, it would be a waste of our soul power. It is best to just continue traveling on our swords like this,” Ji Fengyao explained gently to everyone.

Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao all nodded.

They have plenty of spirit stones on them, and if that doesn't work, they also have spirit liquid, so there's no need to worry about replenishing their spiritual energy.

Ma Chengrao, standing behind Ji Fengming, was terrified. He suggested, "How about this, Young Master, Princess, Miss Kafu and I can't be of much help. Why don't you take us to the foot of the nearby snow mountain and wait until you've finished gathering the herbs before coming back to pick us up? That way you'll save some energy. What do you think?"

That's a good suggestion!

Shang Xiye immediately agreed, thinking to himself, "Finally, I can be with my little wife."

Ji Fengyao wanted to say that it was nothing.

She looked up and met Shang Xiye's tearful eyes, which looked as pitiful as a puppy's, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

Wanqika was not oblivious to the situation. Seeing this, she had no choice but to follow Ma Chengrao's lead and casually pointed to a spot at the foot of a snow-capped mountain overlooking a small blue lake. She said, "Yaoyao, take me there. I'm pretty good at cooking fish. Maybe there are fish in that lake. I can catch a few and grill them for everyone."

Ji Fengyao nodded and flew in the direction she pointed with Wanqikafu.

As they approached the lake, the two casually glanced into it.

In the crystal-clear lake, where you could see right to the bottom, there were indeed quite a few snow-white fish swimming leisurely.

Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao arrived shortly afterward.

Black Owl was also stunned when he saw the fish swimming in the lake:

It seems that in his past life, Yunxiao once grilled various spirit beasts and spirit fish by his spirit spring, and this kind of fish was among them.

"Water Fairy?!" Ji Fengyao exclaimed in surprise and then laughed, "Kaf, your mouth must be blessed, we're really in for a treat."

"What, is this fish delicious?" Wanqikaf had never seen this kind of fish before.

"It's not just delicious, this fish is a divine delicacy among fish. It's a rare and priceless treasure in the cultivation world," Ji Fengyao exclaimed, glancing up at Shang Xiye.

She once had the good fortune to snatch a water fairy from someone else's farm with her master.

Although I was chased for nearly ten thousand miles, the delicious food that made me want to swallow my tongue is still fresh in my memory!
