267 Ten Thousand Mountains Forty-Four
Wanqing and Rourou, hand in hand, led Xixi to a spot three feet away from their lover. At that moment, their lover was leaning against the trunk of a peach tree, quietly admiring the beauty before him!
Looking at her lover, who admired her so much, Wanqing couldn't help but spin around in place. A surge of joy welled up in her heart; the admiration and love in her lover's eyes made her feel incredibly happy!
Her smile widened, and she said softly, "Chen Lang, this is Sister Ji Xixi. You mustn't bully her!"
Rou Rou, too, felt as if she were in a beautiful dream as she looked into her lover's eyes, her heart filled with sweetness.
Ji Xixi's enchanting, melodious voice reached my ears: "This humble servant is Ji Xixi, greetings to Young Master He."
These two young ladies are a bit mischievous, but they are kind and innocent. I hope Mr. He won't let them down.
His words were filled with deep care and best wishes.
"Thank you so much, Sister Xixi, for taking care of them. Don't worry, Sister Xixi, I will definitely take good care of them." She said softly but firmly.
After hearing this, Ji Xixi nodded happily and continued, "I was originally a princess of a country, but I can't remember how I ended up here."
When I regained consciousness, I was already dead. Fortunately, I was attached to this ancient peach tree, and by sheer luck, I survived. I beg Young Master He to move my symbiotic peach tree. That way, I can leave this place.
Nodding, he asked, "Where is this peach tree?" He didn't open his divine sense to search around, quietly waiting for Ji Xixi to tell him.
Ji Xixi said softly, "Please come this way, Young Master He!"
The three followed Ji Xixi slowly, arriving at a place beside a steep rock wall.
In an ordinary crevice of rock, a six-foot-tall, ancient peach tree grows quietly. It appears simple and unremarkable, yet it hides an extraordinary secret.
The trunk of this peach tree is thick and sturdy, its surface covered with the marks of time, as if every line records the years it has lived through.
Its branches are winding and twisting, and they are covered with pink peaches that look delicious and give off a faint fragrance.
Seeing the three of them were all amazed, Rou Rou exclaimed, "How can we survive here? There's no soil, no water!"
Ji Xixi smiled gently, but said nothing.
This seemingly ordinary crevice in the rock has given birth to such a miraculous peach tree. Truly, a divine thing conceals its true nature.
Ji Xixi simply waved her hand, and the peach tree underwent a dramatic transformation!
Before my eyes, there is an elegant and beautiful sight: branches curving and extending like the graceful figure of a dancer. Pink peaches, like little lanterns, hang from the branches, swaying gently in the breeze and emitting a faint fragrance.
The leaves are oval-shaped with fine serrations along the edges and clearly visible veins. They are a glossy green, as if washed by rain, like nature's emerald! Beautiful flowers bloom within, their pink petals resembling a shy yet adorable maiden's face.
At that moment, Ji Xixi spoke softly, "Young Master He, it's estimated to be about ten zhang deep. Please help me." Then she carefully gestured out a range.
Seeing this strange change, he didn't say much, just nodded, and held the gentleman's knife in his hand.
In the instant of the sudden thrust, the number was instantly controlled, and the strange spectacle of a thousand strikes appearing simultaneously, the Gentleman's Blade, was once again revealed. This was a sword technique whose speed and power were both astonishing, like a bolt of lightning slicing through the dark night sky, so fast that it was impossible to catch.
A thousand blades flashed simultaneously, transforming into countless tiny beams of light. Each beam pierced the mountain as easily as inserting a needle into tofu. The entire mountain seemed to have turned into a thick block of tofu, allowing the blades to cut and slice through it at will.
With a muffled thud, a piece of the mountain was carved out from the middle. It was three zhang long and wide, square in shape, and fifteen zhang long. The cut on the long stone was as smooth as a mirror, as if tofu had been cut with a knife.
This strike was executed with incredible control; the surrounding rocks and soil remained completely still, forming a huge square opening. The opening was perfectly shaped, as if measured with a ruler and rubbed with sandpaper, leaving the three women in awe, gasping in surprise.
When the power of the Thousand-Cut Gentleman's Blade was displayed, all three women held their breath. Ji Xixi was completely silent, as if she was too shocked to speak, her eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment.
She muttered to herself involuntarily, "Is this really something human can achieve?" She unconsciously touched her neck. Looking at He Chen, her beautiful eyes flashed with a different kind of light—bold and direct.
Ji Xixi looked at the symbiotic peach tree that had been retrieved, feeling a pang of sadness and reluctance. She then went to its side and gently touched it. The symbiotic peach tree quickly changed, gradually shrinking until it became a peach tree that was only about three feet tall.
Ji Xixi said softly to He Chen, "Thank you for your help, Young Master He."
"Sister Xixi, you're too kind!" After saying that, she picked up the peach tree in her hand, estimating that it weighed about two thousand catties.
Seeing Xixi's reluctance, Wanqing softly comforted her, "Sister, you won't be lonely with us here."
Ji Xixi nodded gently.
Then he said, "Young Master He, over the years, I've cultivated some food here, and the yield is quite good. Would you like to go and take a look?"
"Thank you very much." He nodded slightly and bowed gently.
After saying that, he gently followed behind Xixi. In a space about half an acre in size, some crops were sparsely planted and had already begun to ripen.
The wheat has a golden-yellow husk, with plump, firm, and textured grains. The stems stand upright, growing in clumps, reaching about three feet in height, with slender awns bearing clusters of plump grains arranged in an orderly fashion, forming a perfect ear of wheat. The grains are oval-shaped with fine textures, resembling human fingerprints.
Rou Rou said happily, "This is it! It tastes delicious too!"
Holding a dagger, a hundred blades flashed and disappeared in an instant. The figure moved swiftly, gathering all the ripe ears of wheat in a flash.
Holding the gentleman's sword, its blade smooth and supple, a glint of cold light dancing between his fingers, it didn't harm him in the slightest, like lightning slicing through the dark night sky. The air was filled with the fragrance emanating from the wheat. Streaks of blade light darted through the wheat field, like a silver river flowing through a golden sea of wheat.
The wheat ears swayed gently in the breeze, melodious and moving. Each ear was heavy, clearly well cared for by Ji Xixi. A flash of light, and simultaneously, a hundred blades flashed past, perfectly synchronized, causing the ripe wheat ears to fall, falling in unison from the sky.
