After the divorce, I returned to my village and became a legendary healer.

should be.

For a woman, it's called deception if a poor person pretends to be a rich kid.

But what do you call a rich kid pretending to be poor? You call it a pleasant surprise!

Therefore, not all deception is deception.

That's why there's such a thing as a white lie!

Xu Lianyi nodded under Chen Shi'an's gaze.

The two of them climbed the mountain together.

"I don't know how long we can go. The Changbai Mountains are the ancestral vein of the demon race, and there are countless great demons, many of whom are extremely powerful." Xu Lianyi's voice was somewhat bitter.

But it doesn't matter as long as he's with me.

"Who knows!" Chen Shi'an smiled.

"Chen Bai, aren't you worried?" Xu Lianyi asked!

"Yes, I will! But I only worry about things that are worth worrying about. For me, there don't seem to be many things that are worth feeling melancholy about." Chen Shi'an smiled.

Deep in the Changbai Mountains, snow remains year-round.

Many mountain paths were so steep that it was impossible to stand. Chen Shi'an grabbed Xu Lianyi's hand for the first time. Xu Lianyi did not resist when Chen Shi'an grabbed her hand and let him lead her. The two of them walked on the mountain path, one in front of the other.

To Xu Lianyi's surprise, the Changbai Mountains, which were supposed to be teeming with monsters, did not seem to be as the legends described. The two of them did not encounter a single monster along the way, except for some small animals.

It seems the legend is indeed exaggerated.

The two climbed the mountain and arrived at Tianchi at dusk.

Heaven and earth may heal all wounds, but some things cannot be healed.

For example, traces of the last major war.

"A great battle took place here before, the Battle of Dragon Essence. I'm sure you've heard of it, haven't you?" Chen Shi'an said with a smile, looking at the snow-capped mountains that never melt.

Xu Lianyi nodded. She had heard her elders mention it, but she had never witnessed it herself.

"The traces of this great battle are still visible. It seems it truly was earth-shattering," Chen Shi'an chuckled.

Xu Lianyi nodded.

The remnants in some places still feel extremely terrifying, and the aura lingering on them stings the eyes.

"The most likely place for the Seven Absolute Flowers to appear is around Tianchi Lake, which is the core area of ​​the Changbai Mountains. The so-called forbidden land refers to this area."

"Now, the only hope is that we won't be ruined by those idiots during the big battle that day," Chen Shi'an laughed.

"Chen Bai, watch your words," Xu Lianyi said helplessly.

Chen Shi'an chuckled lightly, "You think I'm afraid of them?"

Xu Lianyi glanced at Chen Shi'an and thought to herself, "He's a dying man, what does he have to fear?"

Chen Shi'an didn't dwell on the topic any further, as if he were also among that group of idiots, and there was no point in cursing himself.

Chen Shi'an gathered some dry firewood and started a fire by the Tianchi Lake.

Everything was so natural, and Xu Lianyi found it hard to resist the severe cold here.

Xu Lianyi looked at Chen Shi'an and had a feeling that Chen Bai was as comfortable as if he were at home.

This is one of the ancestral temples of the demon race!

Will nothing bad really happen?

Or perhaps she came to a fake Changbai Mountain range.

Under Xu Lianyi's watchful gaze, Chen Shi'an dug out an ice cave. It wasn't particularly beautiful, but it was big enough to accommodate a person.

"This is a good place for you to rest," Chen Shi'an said with a smile as he sat by the fire.

As night falls, the sky is filled with twinkling stars, which reflect beautifully on the waters of Tianchi Lake.

The mountain peak, transformed into a dark shadow, stood tall amidst the scene. Looking at this extraordinary sight before her, Xu Lianyi gently rested her head on Chen Shi'an's shoulder.

"Chen Bai, thank you," Xu Lianyi said softly.

"What are you thanking me for?" Chen Shi'an asked with a smile.

"Thank you for bringing me here. Even if we can't find the Seven Absolute Flowers, I would feel that I have no regrets in this life if we could be a pair of lovebirds sharing the same fate." Xu Lianyi said softly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi'an chuckled softly, "A pair of lovebirds sharing the same fate?"

"Mandarin ducks are all about playing in the water, why don't we go to Tianchi Lake for a swim?" Chen Shi'an said with a smile!

"Chen Bai, you're not allowed to talk nonsense!" Xu Lianyi scolded lightly. This guy's words were simply infuriating.

Chen Shi'an laughed heartily.

The firelight and the water of Tianchi were reflected on the faces of the two people.

Eyes facing each other.

Under Chen Shi'an's gaze, Xu Lianyi gently closed her eyes.

What this means is self-evident to a seasoned player like Chen Shi'an.

Xu Lianyi's lips were somewhat cold.

It has a touch of softness amidst its coldness.

The next moment, a deafening roar rang out. Xu Lianyi opened her eyes, then pushed Chen Shi'an away, looking at the source of the roar with a panicked expression.

Chen Shi'an stood up and started cursing.

"Damn it, what the hell are you yelling about? You're interrupting my intimate moment with my woman!" Chen Shi'an roared.

Xu Lianyi grabbed Chen Shi'an's hand, "Are you crazy!" Xu Lianyi said in a terrified voice!

This guy, isn't he just being ridiculous! Even though he's about to die, wouldn't it be better to live a few more days? Why does he have to do this?

"They're rude," Chen Shi'an laughed!

The next moment, Xu Lianyi was speechless.

A tall figure walked over, a colossal figure that was at least three zhang tall, and with each step it took, the ground seemed to tremble.

As they drew closer, Chen Shi'an couldn't help but laugh out loud; it was a black bear.

At this moment, the creature was looking at the two of them with a blank and adorable expression, which inexplicably reminded Chen Shi'an of the dog at home.

This one is a bit bigger than the one at home.

"Human beings, how dare you enter the Changbai Mountains?" The black bear spoke in human language, its tone cold and ruthless.

"What? Is this yours?" Chen Shi'an glanced at the other person sideways.

"Was it you who was yelling and shouting just now?" Chen Shi'an asked!

Xu Lianyi looked at Chen Shi'an and blinked. Is this guy really that reckless?

"It's me? You haven't answered my question yet," the black bear said.

"That's enough. As for your question, you're not worthy of my answer. Let your ancestors answer it!" Chen Shi'an sneered.

The next moment, a slap landed on his face.

In Chen Shi'an's eyes at this moment, a demon at the level of a grandmaster was no different from an ant.

After slapping the guy to the ground, Chen Shi'an walked up to him and said, "Damn it, do you know how serious a crime it is to interrupt my intimate moment with my woman?"

Black Bear looked at Chen Shi'an, a moment of confusion appearing in his eyes.

Where is this?

This is the Changbai Mountains!

Its ancestor was the master of Changbai Mountain, so what makes this human cultivator so special?

How dare he?

"You need to reflect on your actions." Chen Shi'an kicked the guy, embedding him directly into the glacier.

Chen Shi'an glanced at Xu Lianyi, who looked surprised, and grinned. "Well, let's continue."
