The delicate yet wicked female is addicted to collecting stamps, and her many beastly husbands vie f

What secret does Chapter 212 hold?
Fu Ying lightly flicked her fingertips, parting the vines entwined around the cave entrance, and chuckled, "That's quite a coincidence."

She clenched her fists lightly, and the frost arrows in mid-air shattered with a crash, turning into a wisp of mist and dissipating into the air.

This move sent chills down Lai Shiba's spine. A female who could manipulate the elements of nature at will was truly terrifying!

"Yu Li, you wait outside, I'll go in and take a look." Fu Ying lifted her leg to walk inside.

"No!" Yu Li's expression changed, and he grabbed her slender wrist with great force.

His eyes bulged with fear, and his voice trembled: "No! You can't risk your life!"

Lai Shiba frowned and looked at Fu Ying with disapproval, shaking his head and saying, "I know you are the messenger of the Beast God and can control natural attributes, which is indeed powerful, but the poison gas inside is so heavy that even the Beast God himself might not be able to withstand it. You are a female and pregnant with cubs. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your cubs."

With a flick of her wrist, Fu Ying deftly broke free from Yu Li's grip.

She lightly tapped his tense hand with her fingertips, as if to comfort him, but her tone left no room for doubt.

"The matter of the wild goose must be resolved as soon as possible. The star pattern is broken, and he cannot wait. The twin flower and leaf are right in front of us. This kind of spiritual herb has unusual habits and is even more difficult to grow. If we miss it, we don't know when we will encounter it again."

Yu Li's hand hung in mid-air, her knuckles white.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, he knew Fuying's personality very well; once she made up her mind, no one could change it.

"You know my abilities, so just wait here obediently until I come out, and then we'll go back together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fuying's gaze swept over Lai Shiba again.

Her gaze was calm, yet it made the handsome toad-like beastman straighten his back.

"As for you, this is your territory, that's true, but if you lay a hand on Yu Li while I'm away, even if he loses a single hair, I'll dig you up from the ground and send you to see the Beast God. Do you understand?"

Lai Shiba's lips twitched, his cheeks puffed out twice, and after a long while, he finally squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Neither of us are your males, but your attitudes toward the two of us are truly worlds apart."

Yu Li's golden pupils gleamed slightly in the darkness, like shattered gold. He stared intently at Fu Ying, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turning up slightly, and even the tips of his ears revealed a hint of joyful blush.

"Stay quiet." Fu Ying said without turning his head, then suddenly tossed something to him.

The next moment, she turned and stepped into the cave.

Fu Ying's figure was quickly swallowed by the darkness in the cave. Yu Li lowered his eyes to look at the medicine bottle in his hand. A clear medicinal fragrance entered his nostrils. His slender fingers suddenly clenched, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat in his chest.

"Heh, looks like she's not entirely without feelings for you." Lai Shiba's sour voice drifted over.

Yu Li's eyes narrowed, and he looked up at Lai Shiba, who was leaning against the rock wall, looking him up and down with great resentment.

He turned his head and sat down cross-legged at the entrance of the cave. His hands, with their distinct knuckles, rested on his knees. Despite his seemingly relaxed posture, every muscle in his body was taut as if a bowstring had been drawn taut.

Lai Shiba's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he exclaimed in astonishment, "You're really planning to wait here? Just stand around? You're crazy! That's a female! A pregnant female! Can you really leave her alone? What if she's inside..."

"Shut up!" Yu Lijin's eyes were full of ferocity, and his voice was colder than the air in the cave.

Yu Li sneered: "Your thoughts are not hard to guess. Without me, do you think you have a chance? Since she told me to wait here, I will listen to her. You don't need to say anything else."

Lai Shiba narrowed his eyes, chuckled, and took advantage of Yu Li's inattention to slip into the cave like a ghost. Yu Li's pupils contracted, his golden eyes suddenly locking, and he was about to give chase, but when he reached the cave entrance, he heard Fu Ying's words, "Stay here," and he pursed his lips, his movements stiff.

That toad-like beastman clearly had ill intentions. What if he was just lying and trying to ambush us from behind?

In his memory, a glaring image suddenly ripped through his reason. At the tribal trade fair, Fuying was stabbed in the heart by the male who was supposed to protect her. At that moment, he was only worried about Wu, fearing that Fuying's death would implicate his brother.

But now, these images echo clearly in his mind, causing him heartache.

She might live once, twice, but could she avoid crisis every time?
"Damn it!" Yu Li squeezed out the two words through gritted teeth, and his figure rushed into the cave like an arrow released from a bow.

Meanwhile, Fu Ying, who had entered the cave alone, was unaware that Lai Shiba and Yu Li had followed her in one after the other.

She made a hand seal with her fingertips, and a faint halo appeared around her, a barrier that could keep out the surging poisonous fog.

Just as Lai Shiba said, the cave was filled with pitch-black poisonous gas, so dark that you could hardly see your hand in front of your face, as if you had fallen into a black hole. If you were not careful, you would be smashed to pieces. Only the faint fragrance in the air guided the way.

Fu Ying's eyes flickered slightly. This fragrance was very complex, and it seemed to be more than just the scent of one flower.

But soon, Fu Ying lost interest in exploring the fragrance of the flowers. As she ventured deeper into the cave, the surroundings opened up and became empty. A rustling sound came from all around, as if thousands of poisonous insects were scraping against the jagged stone walls.

She gathered a faint light at her fingertips, illuminating a three-meter radius around herself, but due to the fog, it remained hazy.

"Blood Vine?" Fu Ying looked at the blood-red vines wriggling on the ground with some surprise. This thing lived in the deep mountains and forests filled with miasma, fed on blood, and could be used as medicine. It was a very precious spiritual medicine in the cultivation world.

The cave was damp and filled with poisonous gases, making it clearly unsuitable for the survival of the blood vine.

Fu Ying frowned, somewhat puzzled, but with the mindset of taking advantage of every opportunity, she cut off the blood vines and put them all into her spatial storage. Since they were already inside, it would be a waste to only use them for the twin flowers and leaves.

She continued walking, but soon stopped again.

Not far away, in the soil, grew a strange red flower. Its stamens swayed, and its fragrance filled the air. On the scarlet petals, winding golden snake patterns seemed to move slowly, as if they were alive.

"Golden Snake Flower?" Fu Ying looked even more surprised.

This medicinal herb, which should have grown in the magma of the earth's veins, is now rooted in this desolate, cold, and poisonous fog.
Golden snake flower is also a rare medicinal herb, even more precious than blood vine.

Fu Ying stepped forward and examined the flower closely for a moment. He then condensed spiritual energy at his fingertips and gently parted the petals. Inside the flower's stamen, golden-red nectar slowly condensed, radiating a scorching aura like magma, completely out of place with the surrounding chill.

She looked slightly surprised; it really was a golden snake flower!

Fu Ying clicked his tongue in amazement. Blood vine and golden snake flower, these spiritual herbs that should grow in different extreme environments, were strangely gathered here. It would be a joke to say that this place was not strange!
She deftly picked the golden snake flower, stored it in a jade box, and put it into her spatial storage.

But this action made Fuying squint her eyes and look up into the darkness.

The poisonous fog there seemed even denser than before.

Along the way, they found more than a dozen miscellaneous spiritual herbs, many of which were extremely precious. However, they had not found any trace of the flower and leaf twin. After an unknown amount of time, Fu Ying narrowed her beautiful eyes and her expression became stern.

She discovered that this strange poisonous gas was silently corroding her protective barrier!
