Chapter 301 Gentle Senior Brother 9 So with a casual gesture, he sent the female disciple to an area that was completely opposite to where the little ice block was.
Lin Wanwan had no suspicions; on the contrary, she was overjoyed because she misinterpreted Mu Yuan's words as special treatment.
"Yes, thank you very much, Senior Brother Mu Yuan! Wanwan will certainly live up to your expectations!"
She thought that her senior brother Mu Yuan had finally seen her good qualities, so she quickly responded in a sweet voice.
After saying that, he left happily with his people.
Mu Yuan watched her departing figure, a cold mockery flashing in his eyes.
Go, go.
Once they realize they've missed their target, they continue their impotent rage.

Following the map, Zi Xi arrived at a secluded valley.
The valley was filled with a chilling atmosphere, and sure enough, a few spiritual herbs with frost clinging to the edges of their leaves were growing sparsely on the rock walls—the very Frost-Condensing Grass she needed.
She did not immediately step forward, but concealed her presence and carefully observed her surroundings.
After confirming that there were only a few low-level Frost Rabbits grazing on the moss nearby and no powerful demonic beasts guarding the area, she quietly appeared to collect the mature spiritual herbs.
Her movements were swift and precise, minimizing damage to the root system and leaving little trace of her breath.
However, just as she finished picking the last and most mature Frostweed and stood up, a sudden change occurred.
"Awoo!"
"roar!!"
The once tranquil valley was suddenly shattered by the furious roars of beasts.
The ground trembled slightly, and seven or eight monstrous beasts with bloodshot eyes and drooling mouths suddenly emerged from all directions.
There are thick-skinned iron-armed apes and shadow wolves with sharp, menacing teeth, and even a green-scaled python whose scales shimmer with poisonous light.
These demonic beasts are not of high rank, but most of them are in the early to mid-stages of Foundation Establishment.
Their condition was clearly abnormal at this moment, as if they had been subjected to some kind of intense stimulation and had fallen into an extreme state of frenzy.
But their goal was clear: to go straight for Zi Xi!
Zi Xi's expression changed drastically. The fact that so many demonic beasts were simultaneously and violently attacking her alone was no coincidence!
Without time to think about the reasons, she instantly drew her sword, her fighting instincts driving her to react.
However, the number of monsters was too great, and they attacked frantically, completely disregarding their own casualties.
No matter how exquisite Zi Xi's swordsmanship is, if one's cultivation level is not high, even two fists cannot defeat four hands.
Her defenses were quickly breached.
With a hissing sound, the venomous tail of the Azure Scale Python grazed her arm, instantly scraping off a layer of skin.
The Iron-Armed Ape's heavy fist slammed into the sword she hastily parried, the immense force causing her blood to surge and a sweet taste to rise in her throat.
Zi Xi's blue robe was torn in several places, her breathing quickly became disordered, and she staggered.
She gritted her teeth, but her eyes remained frighteningly calm.
While struggling to hold off the attack, his mind was racing, trying to figure out a way to escape.
These monsters seemed to have only her as their target, as if something about her was strongly attracting them.
In the midst of her fierce resistance, Zi Xi caught a faint, almost imperceptible, exotic scent that was distinct from the smell of blood.
It came from her own body!
The thought flashed through her mind in a flash, but there was no time to delve into it. She took a few steps back, quickly removed her clothes, and jumped into the deep pool in the valley.
The pool water was icy cold, but Zi Xi ignored the biting cold and only wanted the strange fragrance clinging to her body to be completely washed away by the pool water.
The sounds above the water became muffled and indistinct; they hadn't chased after her after all, but were merely pacing anxiously by the pool, confirming her suspicions.
The problem was indeed with the inexplicable fragrance.
