Chapter 259 The Scent of Sandalwood in the Mountains



Wan'er sighed inwardly, looking at such a handsome person, but she had no idea what his mind was like...

"Find a place to stay?" Qiao Mei was taken aback, but her face turned somewhat embarrassed. "But staying in a hotel costs money."

"You don't have any money on you, do you?" Damn! Didn't you just give the villagers a lot of money? ...Wan'er was speechless.

“It seems,” Qiao Mei said, looking down awkwardly, “that I’ve given them all my money and I have no money left.”

"I'm speechless. How are you supposed to stay in a hotel if you don't have money?"

"Is this it?" Mo Tian snorted coldly, taking out several banknotes from his pocket.

"Two ten-yuan notes? Sigh!" The little goldfish sighed and shook its head.

"Isn't that enough?" Mo Tian asked somewhat awkwardly, reaching out to pat the other bag of her pajamas. "This belongs to the original owner of this outfit. I haven't touched it, thinking that I might have to return it to someone else someday."

"You—Hua Motian, so it was you who stole Uncle Mercury's clothes! No wonder they looked familiar. I bought these clothes myself. I had 20 yuan left over from the change, and I casually put them in my uncle's pocket, forgetting to take them out. My uncle probably didn't even notice..."

"This money is too little. You should find a place to stay in the wild." Wan'er tucked her head back into the bag, but quickly poked it out again, her little eyes sparkling as she looked around. "Can you smell that sandalwood scent, the kind you get in temples?"

Sandalwood? A mountain breeze blew by, and both Mo Tian and Qiao Mei sniffed. Sure enough, a faint scent of sandalwood wafted in the air. Mo Tian turned his head to listen carefully, and the fragrance seemed to be coming from the southeast.

"See that mountain? That's where we floated over. If I'm not mistaken, there's definitely a path leading up the mountain, on the southeast side. That means if you get to the mountainside, there's a good chance you'll find somewhere to stay. You can give it a try."

After saying this, the goldfish made a "glug" sound, blew a bubble, and retreated back into the tank.

The little goldfish bowl in the bag was truly a wonderful little home. Not only was it stable, but the air was also fresh, and it could even shrink to fit the size of its surroundings without causing any discomfort. Wan'er even had a fleeting thought that it might not be so bad to live like this, hidden in someone's pocket forever.

However, the next second, Wan'er gasped, instantly snapping back to reality… Ye Wan'er, Ye Wan'er, you're really something. Your parents, and the little prince, they are your concerns. No matter what, you can't just abandon them…

Even at this moment, Wan'er thought of Su Mei, who had helped her in the water dungeon last time; they were all waiting for her.

But now, it seems I can do nothing but depend on this person. I hope everything will change...

"Alright, I'll listen to you." For some reason, Mo Tian inexplicably trusted the little goldfish and strode forward. Sure enough, after walking less than ten meters, a path appeared on the mountain road. The path was paved with stones of varying lengths and extended upwards.

Trees lined both sides of the stone base, creating a tranquil and secluded atmosphere. Mo Tian turned around, looked up at the stone path in the mountains, and stepped onto it without hesitation, with Qiao Mei following closely behind him...

The stone-paved mountain path, illuminated by the soft moonlight, seemed easy to walk on. Coupled with their light and quick feet, they soon caught a stronger scent of incense.

"Dong dong!" The night bells seemed to be right beside my ears, reminding the night travelers in the mountains of the direction to go.
