Chapter 27 Entering Lenovo Country 6

  The second day. The three of them got up early.

  "Leave the rest to me. No need to continue eliminating." Nalan Xinnuo said with a slight frown, gazing at the lake surface.

  "Are you alone..."

  "It doesn't matter." Before Bai Zhi could finish speaking, "Time is running out. If others find it, won't they be getting a great bargain?" Leaving some behind would be better. She can identify them relatively easily. Even if someone really finds this place, they won't take another one that easily.

  Just as Nalan Xixi had expected, in just one hour, she found one of the fire lotus flowers.

  Only by keeping the fire lotus alive can its efficacy be guaranteed. Nalan Xixi pulled it out along with its roots and flew back to the shore.

  "Wow, this is a fire lily. Take a closer look. Indeed, it doesn't have the fake beauty of those others." Not enough color and not big enough either.

  "Use lotus leaves to pack the wet mud from the lake, then wrap the roots of the fire lotus with a cloth used for carrying dry provisions, and tightly wrap the lotus leaves around it." Nalan Xinxin said as she handed the fire lotus to Bai Zhi.

  "What about the dry rations?" Bai Zhi took over the fire lotus flower and said with a bewildered expression.

  "Idiot. Is the dry ration important or is the fire lotus important?" Chen Yu said speechlessly. Then he bent down, picked a lotus leaf, and wrapped mud in it as Nalan Xinnuo had said.

  "Oh." Bai Zhi nodded, stuffing as much of the dry rations as possible onto his own body. Then he handed the fire lotus to Chen Yu. After Chen Yu wrapped the roots with a large leaf, he handed over the cloth.

  "The Fire Lotus has been secured. Our destination is now the summit." Holding the Fire Lotus tightly, Shirai had a triumphant look on his face.

  Nalan Xixi furrowed her brow, as if pondering a difficult problem.

  "What's wrong?" Chen Yu sensed Nalan Xixi's emotions and asked.

  Nalan Xixi glanced at Bai Zhi lightly and said: "You wait with Bai Zhi, I'll go up first to save time."

  Chen Yu understood. Nalan Xianyu disliked Bai Zhi for being unable to perform light skills. However, he himself stayed behind for what reason.

  "If someone has the intention of burning the lotus flower, we can respond to each other." Nalan Xianyu saw Chen Yu's doubts, and his seemingly indifferent eyes lightly swept a glance at Bai Zhi, then turned around and slightly exerted himself, instantly disappearing from sight.

  "Wow, is he a god or something? He vanished in the blink of an eye." Shiraki was still completely clueless about what was going on, his face frozen in shock and awe.

  Chen Yu was stunned on the spot. His lightness skill had reached this level. Was it still a lightness skill? This Nalan Xianyu was indeed a powerful person.

  "But can she go alone?" Bai Zhi muttered beside her.

  "Let's go." Chen Yu sighed and said, "We'll slowly head to the top of the mountain first." Who made the fire lotus flower and blood rose flower one at the lowest point of the mountain and the other at the highest point? Chen Yu looked up at the sky and gazed at the mist-shrouded summit. It's estimated that it will take a whole day to reach it.

  "What if the Blood Rose is hard to pick? I'm afraid even with Lien's help, we won't be able to get it," said Pai Chih, expressing his concern.

  Chen Yu stopped in his tracks, looking at Bai Zhi with a hint of helplessness: "Is it because of someone that we have to make such a decision? We not only need to pick two kinds of flowers, but also need to be fast. If the three of us climb the mountain slowly, won't we be wasting a great resource?" Chen Yu rarely spoke so many words at once.

  "That's a good resource. Is it just light work?" Hakase asked dully.

  "You've finally come around." Chen Yu sighed and turned back to continue climbing the mountain.

  "Let's hurry up then. Although I'm not good at lightness kung fu, my strength is quite big and lasts long." This was his strong point. Bai Zhi said with a smile.

  Looking at Bai Zhi like this, Chen Yu felt a bit regretful of his impatience just now.

  Less than half a time, Nalan Xianuo arrived at the top of the mountain. The cool breeze on the mountain blew over, making her shiver involuntarily. The temperature here was like winter. The Blood Rose grew in such an environment.

  The fog is more than I can imagine. Objects one meter away are invisible. Two meters away, it's a complete white expanse, like a moving white wall.

  Wei Wei used her inner strength, warming up her body and dispersing the white mist around her, maintaining a clear line of sight within at least ten meters.

  Moving slowly forward, a sudden flash of unusually bright red burst into Nalan Xinnuo's line of sight. In this vast white world, it was particularly eye-catching. What else could it be but the Blood Rose? Standing proudly at the edge of the cliff, gently swaying with the wind, like a beautiful woman, showing off her beauty in an overly ostentatious manner.

  Nalan Xixi's mouth corners rose with an almost imperceptible, inevitable smile. But that smile stiffened in the next second and gradually disappeared. Her lips were slightly pursed, and her bright, moist eyes were instantly filled with cold vigilance and bloodthirstiness.

  Nalan Xixiao covered her nose with her hand while operating her internal energy to hold her breath as much as possible, then carefully backed away. Indeed, the place where she had just been was filled with a purple mist, a kind of miasma that Nalan Xixiao didn't understand very well. Could it be that this Blood Rose Flower has a guardian?

  Her eyes shone with a firm gaze. No matter what, she was a must-have.

  Suddenly, a low and menacing roar came from not far away. That almost eardrum-shattering low sound was more aggressive than any other sound. Nalan Xianyu only felt that his heart seemed to be shattered. He quickly used his inner power to protect his heart pulse.

  One side dispels the white fog, one side prevents the miasma, and another side has to protect the heart pulse. Even if Nalan Xiong is very strong, at this moment he is also a bit tired. If it goes on like this, it can't last for long.

  The sound that was full of power and explosive force became clearer and clearer. Narlan Xino also felt more and more tired. A giant beast appeared about ten meters in front of Narlan Xino, its general outline visible. The appearance of the giant beast could only be described as unlike anything else.

  That giant beast glared at Nalan Xianuo with a fierce gaze, its body shielding the Blood Rose Coin, exuding an aura that dared not be approached. It turned out to be the guardian beast of the Blood Rose Coin.

  Nalan Xixi's eyes flashed with a hint of determination not to give up. Putting down all her defenses, she concentrated her energy and prepared to attack the giant beast. But in that instant, a pill was forcibly stuffed into her mouth. With a defensive look on her face, she turned around, preparing to spit out the pill, when she saw the face of Shangguan Hongye.

  "Swallow it down." Shangguan Hongye said calmly.

  Shangguan Hongye would never harm himself. Nalan Xinnuo swallowed the pill without hesitation.

  "Are you crazy? You're directly attacking the giant beast like that. Whether or not it can be knocked down is completely unknown, and yet you yourself are definitely going to die." The usually smiling and elegant Upper Official Hong Ye's eyes were filled with anger, this expression really made Nalan Xiong Nu somewhat stunned.

  But it's settled then. She doesn't like this word at all.

  "Do you know what the consequences will be if you take away the defensive aura's inner power?" Looking at the proud Nalan Xiong, who was full of discontent, Shangguan Hongye said somewhat helplessly.

  Nalan Xixi slightly raised her head, still with an unyielding expression as she looked at Shangguan Hongye. If Shangguan Hongye hadn't understood her and known that she was waiting for his next words, he would have really wanted to fight her with the look she had on her face.

  "That miasma will cause your internal energy to be completely depleted in a short period of time, and you'll have no strength left. Think about the consequences for yourself." Shangguan Hongye let out a sigh.

  What consequences. Of course, it's a dead end. Nalan Xianuo furrowed his brow, thinking deeply.

  Jian Nanlan finally realized how dangerous what she was doing was. Shangguan Hongye finally let out a sigh of relief.

  "Help me." Nalan Xixi suddenly spoke up. She believed that Shangguan Hongye had this ability. She also believed that the people of the Shangguan family could do it.

  "I knew it..." Shangguan Hongye smiled wryly with a hint of resignation. "Is this the kind of attitude you have when asking for my help?"

  Nalan Xixi averted her gaze, sank into thought for a moment, and said: "I won't ask anyone." The "won't" she spoke of wasn't unwillingness from the bottom of her heart, but rather that she didn't know how to ask others.

  Shangguan Hongye was taken aback after listening to it. This Nalan Xixi, isn't she always indifferent to everything? Shangguan Hongye thought he would be glared at fiercely, but unexpectedly, he got this sentence instead. He really couldn't react in time.

  Nalan Xixi is also human. She's indeed aloof, but not someone without emotional ups and downs. Although she has undergone strict training to be indifferent to everything, when facing her own family members, especially those who show concern for her, she doesn't completely shut them out. She just isn't good at expressing herself. It's like how she treats Nan Gongyin - even though she's aloof, she can still reveal another side of herself in front of him.

  "Haha, I didn't say please. It's just... cough cough... you also know I'm your brother, right? Being a bit spoiled should be okay." Shangguan Hongye was being a bit overbearing, wanting to tease her.

  "Sa jiao." Nalan Xixi's eyebrows were tightly furrowed. "What is that thing? I don't know."

  Nalan Xinxiao's cold demeanor had chilled him to the bone. Da Guanyin didn't continue speaking, instead turning around to look at the giant beast. It didn't make any moves, simply standing in front of the Blood Rose. If one were to get close to the Blood Rose, it would probably retaliate then.

  Shangguan Hongye gently raised a smile, pulled out a jade flute from his bosom, similar to the one that group of monkeys gave to Nalan Xinnuo, except Nalan Xinnuo's was made of white jade, while his was made of cyan jade.

  Shangguan Hongye brought the jade flute to his lips. The sound of the flute was gentle and distant, yet powerful, slowly rising up. The anger in the eyes of the giant beast surprisingly dissipated along with the drifting notes, until a submissive aura emanated from its huge pupils. Nalan Xianyu watched this entire scene change, and couldn't help but secretly admire his own short flute, perhaps it also had such a function.

  Shangguan Hongye smiled and put the short flute back into his bosom, walking towards the giant beast. The giant beast surprisingly stood obediently to one side, its mouth making a low hum of appeasement. Compared to the extremely lethal low growl from just now, it was like heaven and earth apart. Nalan Xinnuo couldn't imagine that such a voice came from the same place.
