Ruan Tian: "..."
She was truly speechless and had nothing to say. She never imagined that the competition for favor between two men could be so complicated!
"You... never mind, I'll just stay silent."
Ruan Tian rubbed her forehead, feeling as if she had aged ten years in an instant. She sat down on the stool in silence, too lazy to talk to the two people in front of her anymore.
Ye Mofeng noticed Ruan Tian's exhaustion and, after thinking about it carefully, realized that his actions just now had been a bit too demanding.
Just as Ruan Tian said, Bai Chulan's light element ability greatly helps the growth of the angel egg.
"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."
Ye Mofeng obediently apologized to Ruan Tian, put away his ulterior motives, and temporarily ceased hostilities with Bai Chulan.
Seeing that the two had quieted down, Ruan Tian continued to explain what was going on next.
“I’ve decided to leave tonight. After I’m gone, the three of you can go wherever you want, but please be careful.”
Bai Chulan didn't quite agree. "You're going alone? That won't do. I'll go with you."
Ruan Tian shook her head, rejecting his suggestion. "This time I must go alone, no matter how dangerous the journey ahead may be, I have no choice but to go."
If she can't find a new target, she'll die sooner or later. She might as well take advantage of the fact that the plants aren't rioting and go straight into City E to find Jing Zhenxu.
"But what if you... find yourself in a crisis?"
Ruan Tian chuckled, "You can rest assured about that. I may not be that strong offensively, but defensively, no one can hurt me."
“That’s true,” Ye Mofeng thought of Ruan Tian’s amazing ability and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then I'll leave Gu Yi in your care! It's getting dark soon, and I'll leave as soon as it's time."
This time, neither Ye Mofeng nor Bai Chulan tried to stop them.
...
The moon climbed into the sky, its silvery light illuminating the earth.
Night fell quickly, and Ruan Tian packed her things and got up to leave.
Bai Chulan called out to Ruan Tian, "Wait a moment, I have something I want to give you."
"Hmm?" Ruan Tian turned around curiously. What did Bai Chulan want to give her?
Bai Chulan rubbed his hands together, and light elemental energy emerged from between his fingers, dispelling the surrounding darkness and creating a holy aura.
"Take this."
When Bai Chulan let go, Ruan Tian rubbed her eyes and saw clearly what was in his palm.
It's a little hamster made from light element energy. It looks fluffy, with its two front paws raised and pawing in the air.
"Its sense of smell is very sensitive, which can help you avoid some dangers and even save your life in critical moments, so don't worry."
Ruan Tian carefully took the hamster, put it in her pocket, thanked Bai Chulan, and prepared to leave.
"Then I'll leave it to you two to take good care of Gu Yi! Once he's sober, you can go wherever you want, find something you enjoy doing, instead of revolving around me."
Ye Mofeng nodded, "Don't worry."
"We know, don't worry," Bai Chulan nodded slightly, looking quietly at Ruan Tian.
"Okay! I'm relieved!"
Ruan Tian waved to the two of them, and taking advantage of the deep night, she kept her footsteps low and headed towards City E, quickly disappearing from their sight.
Once Ruan Tian's figure had completely disappeared from their sight, Ye Mofeng spoke:
"She already told us that the two of us are not allowed to come along."
"Yes, I'm not deaf, of course I heard it."
"Then you'd better not sneak over there when I'm not looking," Ye Mofeng said coldly, turning to look at Bai Chulan.
"Ha, shouldn't that be a warning to you? Between the two of us, I think you're the one who's never grown up, aren't you?"
The atmosphere was tense, but since the main characters had already left, the two didn't end up arguing. They just exchanged a cold snort and parted ways.
...
Meanwhile, Ruan Tian had already arrived in City E.
As soon as she entered City E, she sensed that something was wrong; the air around her was very strange!
Everywhere you look is greenery. Although other cities also have plants, none are as exaggerated as City E, where there are so many plants that they are countless.
[System, there are so many plants around here! Do you think there might be carnivorous plants?]
Ruan Tian was just joking when she said that.
The system actually replied: "[There will be, after all, there are so many plants here, one or two carnivorous plants don't seem like a big deal.]"
"..." Ruan Tian was taken aback by the system's words. She coughed, frowned, and said, "Can't you at least comfort me a little!"
[I'm sorry, host, I only said that to prevent you from letting your guard down. I hope you can understand.]
I don't understand it at all, but I respect it.
Ruan Tian dared not let her guard down, cautiously moving forward while whispering to the system:
"Send me the location of the person you're trying to woo."
【OK. 】
Soon, the system sent Jing Zhenxu's location to Ruan Tian.
On the map, Ino's small dot is blue, but it is surrounded by a dense ring of red.
Ruan Tian: "...System, don't tell me that Jing Zhenxu is about to die too!"
System: [Congratulations, host. You were right, Jing Zhenxu is about to die.]
Why!
Ruan Tian wished she could roar to the heavens right now, why is it that every time she meets a guy, he's about to die on the way to see him!
[Host, I urge you to act now. If you continue to delay, Jing Zhenxu will die soon.]
The death of Inoue Makoto also signifies that the female lead will soon follow suit.
"Ah! I'm totally convinced!"
Ruan Tian resigned herself to her fate and quickened her pace toward Jing Zhenxu.
Along the way, Ruan Tian did not encounter any ambushes, and instead found Jing Zhenxu safely.
"System, why haven't I gotten hurt along the way?"
[It's simple. Having just experienced the Red Moon Tide, the plants are currently digesting the power they gained that day and are in a deep slumber, naturally having no energy to attend to the host.]
"I see. It seems I've been quite lucky, otherwise things wouldn't be going so smoothly."
With most of the plants in a coma, Ruan Tian walked very easily and soon arrived at Jing Zhenxu's location.
From a great distance, I could see Jing Zhenxu curled up into a ball, lying pitifully on the ground.
"Wait, I'm coming to save you right now!"
After Ruan Tian huffed and puffed her way to within ten paces of Jing Zhenxu, her lips twitched, and she gritted her teeth, saying:
"How am I supposed to save this?!"
All that could be seen around Ino's body was a group of man-eating flowers with bared teeth and claws!
