Xue Shan stood amidst a red mist, her eyes burning red, as she entered an indescribable and wondrous state.
So this is the reward for passing the second level.
Why did the destiny of our soulmates choose me?
"Because you were the first to cross the Bridge of the Underworld and used the red ribbon to contact your companions, you are very suitable." A kind female voice automatically floated into Xue Shan's mind, answering her questions one by one.
Then, the kind voice patiently explained the Divine Bond to Xue Shan.
"In this mortal world, there are countless troubles and endless emotions. Some are surrounded by happy families, while others are all alone."
"The connection between people is so mysterious. The person you are looking for may be right beside you, or you may never find them."
"People with kind and upright hearts, do not be afraid of being separated from your loved ones or from your loved ones by death. I give you a thread of divine connection, hoping that in your darkest days you can be connected with the person you miss in your heart."
"I also hope that you can use the Divine Bond to help others find their destined partners."
Xue Shan listened attentively, her face solemn.
Zhu Yi and Wei Wei didn't dare to go up and disturb Xue Shan.
They could sense that Xue Shan was surrounded by a joyful, red aura, and was not in danger.
Xue Shan stood there intently, like a zombie, carefully studying how to use the marriage thread and reading the precautions for marriage in the "Marriage Manual".
As soon as the map in her hand warmed up, Zhu Yi opened the map of the Immortal Peach Secret Realm again to study it. This time, the text and images on the tattered yellow paper map had changed from what they were before.
Zhu Yi's eyes lit up when she saw the newly triggered strategy guides and interpretations on the map.
Once you pass the third level, you can directly reach the location of the peach tree without having to go through the flower and bird realm again.
Zhu Yi held up the map and earnestly bowed three times to the void.
"Junior Sister, is there any new clue on the map?" Wei Weiwei asked curiously.
"No, it's not..." Zhu Yi didn't know how to say it, and she didn't want to lie to Wei Weiwei, "I just..."
"If it's difficult for you, Junior Sister, you don't have to tell me." Wei Weiwei was understanding; everyone has secrets they're embarrassed to talk about, so there was no need to pry.
"I'm praying that Qianying doesn't contract some rare treasure." Zhu Yi said earnestly.
Wei Weiwei was stunned: "You sisters are really..."
Not knowing how to describe it, Wei Weiwei blushed and said, "My older sister doesn't like me either."
"Mmm!" Zhu Yi felt like she had found a kindred spirit. Family happiness? Brotherly love and respect? What a joke!
The original owner was a useless little brat who was unloved by her father and mother and ignored by the elders of her family. She was only good for being bullied. If she could do it all over again, she would be lucky if she didn't go looking for trouble with the Zhu family.
If Zhu Qianying knew that Zhu Yi was thinking this way, she would be furious.
The peach tree was right in front of her. This plant was very clever. Zhu Qianying racked her brains and spent a whole day trying to make a contract with it, but she still couldn't succeed.
Zhu Qianying vaguely wanted to burn this immortal plant; she would rather burn it than leave it to someone else for nothing.
I'm furious.
"Junior Sister Ying, the question posed by this peach tree is really strange. It shouldn't be a question from our Canglan Continent." Shangguan Wenqi frowned as she looked at the blooming peach tree in front of her.
"It's alright, let's try our best, maybe we'll succeed!" Zhu Qianying refused to give up.
She could tell that Shangguan Wenqi wanted to give up the peach tree and go find other treasures.
"Senior Brother Shangguan, why don't we go over there and find some excellent spiritual plants? I'll continue studying the questions left by the spiritual tree here," Zhu Qianying said gently.
Shangguan Wenqi felt a warmth in his heart. He couldn't bear to leave Zhu Qianying alone here, deep in thought, so he continued to sit under the peach tree and work with Zhu Qianying to study the tricky and strange questions.
Three questions were written on the simple bamboo slips.
Question 1: What is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?
Question 2: If a chicken and a goose are placed in the refrigerator at the same time, why does the chicken die but the goose does not?
Question 3: Why do two tigers fight so fiercely that they can't stop until one of them is dead?
Shangguan Wenqi's mind was a complete mess. What was all this about? He looked at Zhu Qianying's humble and earnest answer, and felt an inexplicable fondness for her.
"Hehe, you quite like this female cultivator!" came the playful voice of the peach tree.
Shangguan Wenqi's elegant face flushed slightly: "Don't talk nonsense. It's just a plant spirit pet. If you were willing to form a contract with Sister Ying and acknowledge her as your master, we could have left here long ago!"
"Tch, this immortal plant isn't someone you can just contract with any stupid thing. You want me to go with you? Sure!" The peach tree, with a nonchalant air, transformed into a little girl of about eight or nine years old with double buns, standing in front of Shangguan Wenqi.
"Answer the questions! If you answer correctly, I'll go with you."
The little girl looked arrogant, completely disregarding the man and woman under the tree, unaware that the woman opposite her was already plotting to burn her.
She yawned: "You guys have fun. If you still haven't figured it out by the time the other group comes, don't bother me anymore!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Qianying's eyes turned deep, and her gaze towards the little girl became icy cold.
After a while, Zhu Yi and Wei Wei stayed by Xue Shan's side, quietly brewing tea and waiting for Xue Shan to finish the reward for clearing the level.
"Junior Sister, you've prepared way too much stuff for your trip!" Wei Wei exclaimed again, speaking softly to Zhu Yi without daring to raise her voice too high.
"I was already surprised when you brought out the vegetable rice balls, but you even brought a tea set and charcoal..." Wei Weiwei couldn't help but wonder if she was living a terrible life.
"I just feel that when you're traveling, it's bound to be inconvenient to eat and stay in, so it's more comfortable to bring more things for yourself!" Zhu Yi was also a little embarrassed, feeling that Weiwei's words made her seem like she was too delicate.
It's not that we're delicate, it's just that we're used to being prepared. Zhu Yi said, "It's better to prepare more things than to not need them and not be able to find them when you need them. We all have storage bags, and as long as we arrange the space properly, it's not a hassle to carry them with us."
Wei Weiwei understood. She would also pack her things properly and prepare thoroughly for her next training trip.
"Yes, we've contracted quite a few spirit beasts on this trip, so we should prepare food for them."
Zhu Yi chuckled awkwardly. Actually, it was just because her body was somewhat unusual.
Zhao Cai once said that she needed to eat well and sleep well for the next two years to recuperate, and that fasting pills and the like were completely ineffective for her.
Therefore, when she signed up for the sect trial, she spent a lot of time preparing the things she would need for the trip.
Considering that the cultivation world doesn't offer the convenient travel conditions of her previous life, and that she might be too busy leveling up and fighting monsters to cook properly, Zhu Yi prepared a whole set of food and drinks, and even went so far as to prepare a kitchen set, tea set, and a small bed. How could such a comprehensive preparation possibly compare to the word "thoughtful"?
