After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

However, Pearl knew what was important and what was urgent. The most pressing matter was finding the moonflower, and the serpent could go see it anytime.

He...he still wants to marry Zhao Duo!

Pearl's cheeks flushed red. She felt that she was so sensible that she deserved to be rewarded with a big meal after descending the mountain.

Halfway there, he felt a little tired, but before he could show it, the boy squatted down in front of him.

"Come up."

Pearl's face turned even redder. She leaned on the boy's shoulder and awkwardly asked if it was too heavy.

Zhao Duo shook his head, the silver ornaments on his body making a pleasant sound. "Not heavy."

Pearl lowered her eyes and saw the teeth marks she had made. Although the bleeding had stopped, her skin was still red and swollen, and it was clear that she was in a lot of pain.

He leaned in and gently blew on it.

Zhao Duo paused in his steps.

Noticing the boy had stopped, Pearl asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Duo shook his head and continued walking forward.

Pearl suddenly noticed a butterfly perched on her shoulder.

Just as he reached out to touch it, the butterfly fluttered its wings and flew away.

"Ah..." Pearl was still thinking of raising it when the butterfly flew away.

His gaze followed the blue butterfly until it stopped on a green leaf.

Pearl tugged at Zhao Duo's hair. "Can you control butterflies?"

Zhao Duo said, "Okay."

Pearl immediately pointed at the blue butterfly, "Quickly, let it fly to my hand."

Zhao Duo walked over and stood in front of the green leaves, remaining lost in thought for a long time.

"Brother," Pearl said softly, "Hurry up, or it will fly away."

Zhao Duo was pleasantly surprised and said, "Oenothera florida."

"Forget about the flowers and plants for now, help me catch some butterflies—what kind of flowers?"

"Moonflower." Zhao Duo thought to himself: No wonder my father said that if we are destined to meet, we will find it.

If Pearl hadn't gone up the mountain, he might not have been able to find her even after searching for several more years.

This fate is truly wonderful.

Pearl smiled. "Does that mean you can go down the mountain now?"

Zhao Duo nodded, "However, it only blooms at night. I'll take you down the mountain first."

"Then remember where this place is, don't forget," Pearl instructed. "Come back quickly tonight after you've picked the flowers."

"it is good."

At the foot of the mountain, Yin Cheng and Atuna Qianyuan prepared to go up the mountain to find pearls.

After losing track of Pearl in the mist, Pearl's two bodyguards quickly realized the danger of the mountain and immediately returned to Five Poisons Fortress for help.

Just then, Yin Cheng arrived at Five Poison Fortress and learned that his beloved son had secretly sneaked up the mountain.

He immediately found Atuna Qianyuan and prepared to go into the mountains to find the person.

The two arrived at the foot of the mountain, but their path was blocked by the fog.

Yin Cheng asked, "Miasma?"

Artuna Qianyuan said, "It's just ordinary mountain fog, but the fog gets thicker the further you go in, and it's easy to get lost."

Upon hearing that it wasn't miasma, Yin Cheng breathed a small sigh of relief.

After all, Pearl had practiced martial arts since childhood. Even if he wasn't a martial arts master, he could still escape safely from ordinary beasts.

I'm afraid he might encounter miasma or eat some poisonous fruit.

After all, this little idiot dares to take a bite of anything.

Just as the two were about to enter the mist, they bumped into Zhao Duo carrying pearls down the mountain.

When Pearl saw her father's gloomy face, she panicked terribly.

He silently got off Zhao Duo's back and took small, quick steps to stand in front of Yin Cheng.

Pearl knew he had made a huge mistake this time, and even his father, who always doted on him, was furious.

He pouted, looking like he was about to cry, "Father..."

Yin Cheng was truly furious with Pearl. He had been to Five Poisons Fortress so many times, how could he not know how dangerous Moon View Mountain was?

This little brat is so spoiled he's completely out of control.

Yin Cheng raised his hand, but the slap just wouldn't land.

The little guy was covered in dirt and his hair was all messy; I don't know if he fell.

Her eyes were swollen so badly, as if she had been crying all night.

He stood there pitifully clutching his clothes, as if he was about to burst into tears at any moment.

Yin Cheng sighed, stepped forward, and began to trim the little boy's hair. "Are you hurt anywhere?"

Pearl's eyes were filled with tears, and she shook her head with a wronged expression.

"What happened? You're all filthy. Did you roll around on the ground?"

"Waaah..." Pearl threw herself into her father's arms and burst into tears, "Daddy, I'm so scared... Waaah..."

"Sweetheart, it's alright now." Yin Cheng wiped away Pearl's tears. "Poor little thing, your face is all red from crying."

Yin Cheng had indeed planned to teach the pearl a lesson once he found it.

But the little brat was so pitiful, how could he bear to say a harsh word? "Sweetie, don't cry, Daddy will take you home, okay?"

Pearl nodded, her eyes brimming with tears.

On the other side, Atuna Qianyuan asked, "Where did you find the pearl?"

Zhao Duo said, "Snake Cave."

Atuna Qianyuan was taken aback. "The dwelling place of the spirit snake?"

Zhao Duo nodded.

Atuna Qianyuan was still a little scared. "Luckily, nothing bad happened."

He then asked, "So, did you find the evening primrose?"

"Found it," Zhao Duo said. "Thanks to the pearl."

"It seems there really is such a thing as destiny. Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, it will bloom tonight."

Atuna Qianyuan kicked her son into the mist, "Then what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and guard that plant. If wild beasts ruin it, where will we find a second one?"

Before leaving, Zhao Duo glanced at Pearl and then stepped into the mist.

Pearl felt guilty at that moment, and he said, sobbing, "Father, I'm sorry for making you worry about me."

"You silly girl," Yin Cheng pinched Pearl's cheek, "What are you apologizing for?"

Pearl wanted to cry again. He didn't dare to think that if he hadn't met Zhao Duo yesterday, he would definitely have died, and his fathers would have been very sad.

"By the way, I haven't told your stepfather about this, so don't let it slip."

"oh……"

Atuna Qianyuan said, "Then say that I took Pearl to the village to play."

Yin Cheng nodded. "Thank you."

Huang Mao isn't a good guy, but his father is actually a pretty nice person.

The three returned to Five Poisons Fortress, where the father and son bid farewell to Atuna Qianyuan at the city gate.

Besides the couple who came to the southwest to arrest their son, Lan Shu also returned.

He went to Su Han's place immediately to bring Lin Beizhen back.

He hasn't seen his precious son in a long time, and he really misses him.

As for the military camp, I only think about it in my spare time.

Yin Cheng originally planned to stay at the post station, but Lan Shu said that since they were all family, their house was quite big and could accommodate all of them.

Lin Nian thought it made sense, so she brought her whole family to trouble her fourth brother.

Just as Yin Cheng and Pearl entered the courtyard, they heard Yuanbao crying loudly.

"Daddy, I want to go out and play."

Lin Nian was in great pain; this brat insisted on going out to make some friends in the Southwest.

He dared to wander around even though he was unfamiliar with the place.

Lin Nian replied, "No."

"Little Daddy~"

"Being cute won't work."

Just as Yuanbao was about to use all his skills, he saw his father and immediately became as quiet as a chicken.

Well-behaved, obedient, and sensible.
