Will he like this scent?
"Isn't this the scent you carry? I specially crafted the Soul Binding Fragrance based on your scent." Long Qian sniffed, quite certain that her body fragrance was similar to this.
If there's nothing different about her, perhaps the scent she exudes carries a warm and soft maternal quality.
"I don't smell at all." Mu Run chuckled upon hearing this: "It must be Sister Cai and the others who used perfume to scent your clothes."
Long Qian couldn't stand it anymore, "Then you must like this scent, right?"
"I really like it. Will it affect the baby in my belly?"
"It has nothing to do with the child, it only affects your soul."
Mu Run picked up the jade piece and placed it on her forehead. "Is this all you need?"
Long Qian asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to reconsider?"
"Why should I consider it?" Mu Run felt a cool sensation on her forehead. After a while, the coolness disappeared. She raised her hand to touch her forehead, and the peach blossom jade piece was gone, transformed into a wisp of fragrant essence that wrapped around her soul.
"Alright." Mu Run returned the black wooden box to Long Qian.
"Don't tell my brother about this before you die." Long Qian took the box, played with it between his fingertips, and then disappeared.
Like a magic trick, Mu Run blinked and stared at his hand, her attention drawn to it.
"Yes, I won't tell." She understood what Long Qian meant. If she couldn't be saved in the end, then let her die, and Fu Yunchen would continue to look for her.
But it will no longer be a aimless search; finding people by their scent will be much simpler.
Of course, this is a poor choice.
The best course of action is to find the guardian deity of the continent and extend Fu Yunchen's life.
"Do you have any news about the guardian deity of the continent?" Mu Run asked Long Qian.
Long Qian replied, "No. When the mountain and river gods take turns, they must visit the continental guardians to receive their divine power. However, after I became a mountain god, I did not receive any news from the guardians. Apart from those old guys who have lived for thousands of years, no one within the last thousand years knows anything about me."
"Can we find him?"
"If I could find it, I would have gone to look for it long ago."
Mu Run suddenly turned her head to look at the palace entrance, "Your brother is back."
Long Qian was somewhat surprised: "You have good hearing. He's still a hundred meters away from here."
Mu Run smiled and said, "I'm fine within a hundred meters."
Long Qian replied, "For ordinary mortals, that's quite impressive."
Fu Yunchen returned, carrying a food box in his hand.
Long Qian lazily raised her hand to greet Fu Yunchen.
"What brings you to the palace so early in the morning?" Fu Yunchen placed the food box on the table and took out some tea and snacks from it.
These dishes, though not as refined as those in the palace, had their own unique flavor.
"Come see Huanhuan," Long Qian replied, reaching into the tea and taking a pastry to eat.
Mu Run instructed the palace maids to prepare tea leaves and water, and said to Long Qian, "I'll brew some tea. Would you like to try this year's newly made autumn tea? I was going to send someone to deliver it to you."
“Okay.” Long Qian’s eyes lit up.
Fu Yunchen wasn't fooled by Long Qian. "What exactly is it?"
"I've come to take Huanhuan and Tuantuan to Yunlong Mountain." This was Long Qian's true purpose in coming to the palace; binding Mu Runxiang's soul was just a side effect.
“Huanhuan’s literature class isn’t going well, I want to give her some extra help, maybe we can go later. Tuantuan also has other plans,” Mu Run replied.
“Tuantuan doesn’t have to come with me, but Huanhuan has to come back with me.” Long Qian looked at Fu Yunchen. “There’s no room for discussion.”
