Gradually, light appeared on the river surface; they were about to emerge from the cave.
The ghostfish also swam slower and stopped following their boat closely.
Guo San'er breathed a sigh of relief, "A narrow escape from death is sure to bring good fortune!"
"Hmm...uh!" Mu Run was looking at the ghost fish. Its entire body was floating on the surface of the water, almost filling the waterway! It wasn't that ugly. At least Mu Run thought it was much more pleasing to the eye than a real ghost.
If it were to open its mouth, their little boat would probably only be able to fit a tooth gap.
In fact, it just wanted to eat cream puffs, which is why it followed their ship; it had no malicious intent.
Mu Run tossed all the remaining cream puffs, along with the bag, to Gui Tou Yu, shouting, "That's all. Go back now. Don't ask people for food so easily in the future; you might get into trouble."
The mahi-mahi immediately swam towards the puff pastry, swallowed the bag, flicked its tail, and dived into the water.
The small boat, propelled by the swaying tail of the ghostfish, emerged from the Ghost Gate Cave without Ghost Three's need to row.
Guo San'er was taken aback. "You can talk to the ghost-headed fish?"
Mu Run laughed and said, "Of course not. It's just that it's become sentient and understood what I said. As a token of gratitude, it sent us out of the Ghost Gate Cave."
"What kind of snack is that?" Guo San'er asked.
“Puff pastry,” Mu Run said with a smile, then looked ahead and saw a city built on a mountain.
"Is this Youdu?"
"Yes." Guo San'er rowed the boat towards the mountain city.
The mountain where Youdu City is located is called Huayan Mountain.
The mountains are gentle, with beautiful scenery and few towering peaks. At the foot of the mountains are terraced fields, lush and green. Rows of houses are scattered in a pleasing arrangement, and there are also clusters of flowers.
“If you hadn’t said it before, I would have thought this was a paradise on earth,” Mu Run said to Guo San’er, gazing at the mountain scenery.
Guo San'er replied, "Isn't there a saying that the more gorgeous something is on the outside, the more likely it is to be a deadly poison?"
"Is that true?" Mu Run tilted her head and thought for a moment. "I have heard it before: the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie."
"So, according to what you've said, you can also lie?"
"It depends on the viewer. I think I'm pretty enough, but not exactly beautiful." Of all the beauties she had ever seen, Su Xiao was indeed only pretty.
But not everyone has such a complicated experience as her, having seen so many stunning beauties.
"You're too modest, sir."
...
Upon arriving at the dock in Youdu, Mu Run disembarked, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, and handed it to Guo San'er, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
"No need. The dogwood boat doesn't charge a fare. No matter how many passengers you take, the city lord of Youdu will pay you back later."
"Oh? This city lord is quite wealthy."
"The city lord is richer than a country, with more money than he can spend, so naturally he doesn't care about this little bit."
“That’s his, this is mine,” Mu Run insisted on giving it to him.
"Alright, I'll take it." Guo San'er reached out and took the silver.
Mu Run waved his hand, slung his bundle over his shoulder, and walked toward the city gate of Youdu.
Guo San'er looked at her, the polite smile on his face gradually fading, then he looked in the direction of the Ghost Gate Cave, "Puff..."
There were some vendors selling fruits and vegetables by the roadside. When they saw Mu Run, they greeted him warmly: "Would you like to buy some vegetables, sir?"
Mu Run walked over and looked at the fresh melons and vegetables still with flowers on top, "Give me a pound of each."
"Okay." The owner started weighing the vegetables for her.
Mu Run noticed an old basket on the side. "Boss, I can't carry my vegetables, can you give me the basket?"
"Alright, since you bought so much, this basket is a gift for you."
"Thank you, boss." Mu Run took the basket and put the vegetables that the boss had weighed into it one by one.
