The two walked in the forest, one in front and one behind. Because this place was deep in the mountains, there were few people and no roads in the forest. There were mostly dead branches and leaves, and occasionally some moss and gravel. It was not easy to walk up and down the slopes.
Yu Baichou had been traveling outside for many years, and since he was also a cultivator, he could walk relatively steadily. However, this girl in white looked like a girl who grew up in seclusion and was not good at walking on this kind of mountain road.
But to Yu Baichou's surprise, the girl in white walked through the forest like a butterfly, light and agile, effortlessly and effortlessly. If she didn't have the aura of any training, Yu Baichou would have thought she was another prodigy from some holy land.
However, the girl herself didn't know why, so Yu Baichou could only sigh that she was worthy of being a lady from a wealthy family, and her parents were probably not ordinary people either.
"In my opinion, Miss Luo might want to give Dieyi Valley a try. Most of the people in this sect are women, and they are often invited by dignitaries to perform music during festivals and celebrations. You might run into your family or someone you know."
"Playing music, performing, or something like that?"
"Yes, this school's music is very powerful. Even in combat, the Green Leaf Flower Sword and the Butterfly Transformation Technique are very famous."
"Most of the people in this sect practice the two types of skills: Yuanyi and Baihua. They emphasize swiftness, clever changes, and a refined and elegant style."
"Wow...if I perform, I guess there will be a lot of people watching." The girl was a little reluctant, looking at the green grass and white wild flowers at her feet.
"Well, this is indeed my inconsiderateness." Yu Baichou suddenly remembered that this was a young lady, and it was indeed not appropriate for him to let her perform on the stage. If her family had strict family rules and it was investigated later, he, who had given the wrong advice, would probably be blamed for his anger.
"There's no need to rush. I can take Miss Luo to Zhou City later. It's much more prosperous there, and many factions have bases there. It won't be too late to make a careful choice then."
"Thank you, Uncle Yu." The girl felt a warmth flowing in her heart.
After waking up, the girl was still very frightened because she didn't know anyone around her and couldn't remember anything about the past. However, she had good psychological control and suppressed it in her heart for the time being, never showing it. Now, the uncle's words finally made her feel a little relieved.
At least there is an acquaintance who can lead the way.
The two men walked through the mountains for most of the day. When it was almost dark, they found a place sheltered from the wind and rested for a while.
As the bright yellow bonfire grew, waves of warmth dispelled the chill of the mountains, and the two continued their conversation.
"Is this place far from populated areas?" the girl asked curiously.
"Yes, we probably have to walk for another day and night to reach the village outside the mountain."
Yu Baichou took out the ox horn knife he carried with him, cut a thin slice of beef, spread it on the stone, and then roasted it by the fire. He then sprinkled some salt powder prepared in advance on it, and a fragrant aroma spread.
"Miss Luo, would you like to try it? Although the cooking skills are average, it's still edible."
"Thanks."
The girl took the beef, skewered between two sharpened branches, and held it before her, examining it briefly. The slices of meat were slightly curled, a bit crispy and golden at the edges, while the center was still tender. A faint sheen of oil emanated from them, moistening the salt and seasonings, and emitting waves of enticing aroma.
[Grilled Beef Slices] (Bronze, Regular): Made from premium beef, grilled and roasted. While the cooking technique is average, the nutritional value is still 30%. (After consumption, it can slightly strengthen muscles and increase strength.)
As expected of beef, it's rich in protein. The girl blinked. What was protein? It seemed like some kind of nutrient. She was familiar with the word before.
Putting that aside for now, the girl opened her mouth and took a small bite, ready to try it. But she quickly stuck her tongue out because it was too hot, and after a while, she slowly savored it.
The mixture of pepper and salt and crispy meat slices, with the residual heat of the flames, exploded in the mouth, making people feel very addicted. The girl quickly finished the barbecue in her hand in small bites.
Looking at her like this, Yu Baichou thought to himself, this girl is indeed from a wealthy family. Such natural and graceful movements can't be developed in a day or two. Even when eating in the wild, it is pleasing to the eye.
It seems that I have met a noble person this time.
He skewered another piece of grilled meat nearby and handed it over.
"Eat more. It's very cold in the mountains at night, and this is just the right way to ward off the cold, haha." After saying that, he picked up a piece and started eating.
As she chewed, a warm energy rose in her stomach. The girl was slightly surprised. Was this the heavenly and earthly energy the uncle had mentioned? She had felt a similar energy from the jade in the stream before, but the jade's was clearer and more condensed, like ice.
After eating, the girl found a dry place, lay down for a while, rested her head on her arm, and slept on her side on the stone.
Yu Baichou sprinkled some insect repellent powder around the area before finally settling down beside the fire. There were many poisonous insects in the mountains, and even though he was a cultivator, it would still be very troublesome if he accidentally got poisoned. Besides, Miss Luo's safety also had to be taken care of.
The bonfire gradually dwindled to a dark red charcoal. The night in the mountains was remarkably quiet, with even fewer birdsong. The stars in the sky flickered softly, their sparse light falling through the trees and illuminating the girl in the white dress, emitting a faint glow so subtle that it would be unnoticeable to anyone without careful observation.
The girl in the white dress lay on her side on the bluestone. She did not feel cold, but fell asleep peacefully and then entered a deep dream.
In her dream, she seemed to see familiar people and things again. In that prosperous world, people lived in standard, neatly-made houses, with bright lights. Even at night, a teacher was teaching in the house. She listened very carefully, comparing the teacher's answers with the test paper in her hand.
However, the names were blurry and seemed impossible to see clearly, but the titles gradually became clear.
"This is the formula for universal gravitation for calculating the movement of planets. Isn't it amazing?" The teacher smiled on the stage and said to the students below.
"Now that I've listed these conditions, can you deduce the mass of the Earth?"
"Okay." A student in the front raised his hand.
As she watched the scenes unfold before her, the knowledge she had learned in her youth gradually emerged from the depths of her memory, slowly surfacing before being reviewed again by the girl. As this knowledge returned, the girl gradually discovered the huge difference between the world she was in and the world in her dreams.
At least in my dreams, there was the moon in the sky, but now there are only stars in the sky. It seems that I am no longer in the world I used to be in.
Maybe this is reincarnation, so magical.
As the night deepened, she fell into a deep sleep, and her breathing gradually became steady.
