The sky-covering technique begins, and the rising moon over the sea shocks Yue Yao.

The mountains in the distance are rolling and shaded by green trees. A gentle breeze brings a refreshing breath of air.

Yan Liuli took a deep breath and felt the beauty of nature.

"Changge, we must find March Snow."

Yan Liuli's voice was full of anticipation and determination.

Baili Changge looked at her gently, nodded and said:

"Don't worry, we will find it."

They walked along the road out of the city, the sun shining down on them.

As the two gradually moved away from the city, the surrounding environment became quieter and quieter.

Only the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves in the wind kept them company.

After walking for a while, we came to a fork in the road.

Baili Changge stopped and carefully observed the surrounding terrain.

"Liuli, let's go this way."

Baili Changge pointed to a path on the left and said, "This path looks more likely to lead to the mountains and forests."

Yan Liuli followed Baili Changge's footsteps without any hesitation.

They continued along the path, their hearts filled with anticipation for the exotic flowers and longing for the future.

Walking along the path, the quieter it becomes.

The surrounding trees grew taller and denser, and sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light.

Baili Changge and Yan Liuli took careful steps, and the fallen leaves under their feet made a slight rustling sound.

Yan Liuli huddled close to Baili Changge, glancing around from time to time, feeling both nervous and excited.

"Changge, this forest looks so mysterious. I wonder where the March Snow is hiding."

At this moment, Yan Liuli put down her bag and looked like a little girl.

Baili Changge smiled and held her hand to comfort her.

"Don't worry, if we look carefully, we will definitely find something."

They slowly went deeper into the forest, the air filled with the scent of earth and grass.

Occasionally, a small animal would pop out from the grass and then quickly disappear.

As I walked, a clear stream appeared in front of me, with the water flowing gently.

Baili Changge squatted down, gently scooped up the stream water with his hands, and felt the coolness.

"Liuli, this stream may flow from deep in the mountains and forests. Let's follow the stream."

"It is said that this March snow must grow in a very special place."

"I've heard that exotic flowers often prefer shady and damp places. If there's a shady valley with a gurgling stream in this forest, you might be able to find March Snow."

"Furthermore, the cliffs that are rarely visited by people may also be where it grows.

Yan Liuli nodded in agreement, and the two continued walking along the stream.

The road in the mountains is not easy to walk on. Sometimes there are branches blocking the way, and sometimes there are rugged slopes.

.........

......

...

As they went deeper, the forest became more and more secluded.

The tall trees blocked out the sun, as if a mysterious world was waiting for them to explore.

Even on the road, there are no longer any traces of human activity.

Obviously, this is a place that few people go to.

But Yan Liuli's heart was full of anticipation at this moment. She firmly believed that they would be able to find the rare flower, March Snow.

Baili Changge and Yan Liuli walked slowly along the stream in the mountains and forests. The silence around them made people feel uneasy.

The leaves swayed gently in the breeze, and the occasional bird calls added a mysterious atmosphere.

Yan Liuli clung closely to Baili Changge, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, as if she was worried that any danger might arise at any time.

"Changge, this forest is too quiet. I feel something is amiss."

Yan Liuli said softly, with a hint of worry in her voice.

Baili Changge frowned slightly, he also felt this unusual silence.

"Liuli, be careful. There may be unknown dangers hidden in this forest."

They continued to move forward, their steps lightly moving.

The sound of the gurgling stream is particularly clear in this quiet forest.

Suddenly, a slight rustling sound came from the bushes ahead.

Baili Changge immediately stopped and reached out to stop Yan Liuli.

The two stood quietly.

The rustling sound was getting closer and closer, as if something was approaching.

A moment later, a huge tiger rushed out from the bushes.

Its hair stood up, its eyes were red, and its sharp fangs were exposed, making it look extremely ferocious.

Baili Changge's eyes flashed, and he quickly protected Yan Liuli behind him, drew the sword from his waist, and gripped the hilt tightly.

The tiger roared and pounced towards them at an extremely fast speed.

Baili Changge did not retreat but advanced, his figure flashing as he faced the beast.

The moment the tiger pounced in front of him, Baili Changge dodged to the side, swung the sword in his hand, and accurately cut the tiger's body.

The tiger felt pain and roared even more angrily, but it did not retreat and pounced on Baili Changge again.

After a brief fight, Baili Changge easily found an opportunity and stabbed the tiger in the vitals with a sword.

The tiger roared one last time and fell to the ground, motionless.

Baili Changge put away his sword, walked to Yan Liuli and patted her shoulder gently.

"It's okay, Liuli."

Yan Liuli's eyes were full of tenderness.

And at the same time.

In Tianqi City, in a magnificent royal palace.

The sunlight shines through the carved windows onto the exquisite floor tiles, casting patches of mottled light and shadow.

Inside the hall, towering pillars, carved beams and painted rafters demonstrate the majesty and luxury of the palace.

The vermilion beams and pillars are carved with lifelike patterns of auspicious beasts, as if they could come alive at any time.

Exquisite calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, exuding a strong cultural atmosphere.

The young prince was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was sitting upright in the main seat, playing with a piece of beautiful jade in his hand.

He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but there was a hint of sinisterness in his eyes.

Chapter 288: Palace. Night

At this moment, a piece of beautiful jade was turning back and forth between his fingers, sparkling with a warm luster.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a servant came running over and knelt down to pay his respects.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on the servant's forehead and he looked nervous.

The servant reported breathlessly, "Your Highness."

"I just saw Baili Changge...leaving the city."

He paused in his movements, raised his head slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Do you mean what you said?"

"Are you sure it's Baili Changge who left the city?"

The servant nodded quickly, his tone affirmative.

"My Lord, it is absolutely true."

"I saw with my own eyes...with my own eyes, Baili Changge and a woman left the city together, heading towards the mountainous "three five three" forest east of the city."

He frowned slightly and thought for a moment.

"Do you know why he left the city?"

When the servant heard his prince asking, he quickly spoke again.

"I asked around..."

"It seems to be for the Jinluo Rouge Shop's Wonderful Flower Competition."

"It is said that whoever can pick a rare flower called March Snow will receive the best rouge from Jinluo Rouge Shop."

"It seems Baili Changge wanted to win rouge for that woman, so he went out of the city to look for rare flowers."

The prince curled his lips into a sneer.

He casually placed the beautiful jade on the table beside him, making a crisp sound.

The sound echoed in the quiet hall, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm.

"Humph, finally out of the city."

"Go, send someone to follow him and find a chance to kill him."
