Each of her steps was steady and powerful, as if there was wind under her feet. She knew very well that there was a powerful force behind her silently supporting her and looking forward to her triumphant return. And she would definitely not let down this trust and expectation, and would prove with practical actions that even though she was only a mortal now, she was enough to defeat Jiang Luo. The grudges between them were destined to end with one side's complete defeat.

At this time, the sky was covered by a thick black curtain, with lightning and thunder, and strong winds. However, such bad weather did not affect Lan Wangshu's interest in watching the rain. She stood quietly in front of the window, slightly raised her head, and let the cool air brush across her face.

At this moment, something unexpected happened—a colorful, brightly patterned snake quietly crawled in from the window! Lan Wangshu's scalp went numb, and she stared at the scene in disbelief with her eyes wide open.

Instantly, her face turned as pale as paper, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. Obviously, the sudden appearance of the snake made her feel extremely frightened and uneasy. The snake seemed to have sensed Lan Wangshu's fear, and it raised its head high, spitting out its scarlet tongue, and slowly approached her.

Lan Wangshu pressed herself tightly against the wall, trying her best to avoid contact with the snake. At this moment, her heartbeat accelerated rapidly and her breathing became more rapid.

Her heartbeat was as fast as a wild horse, her breathing became extremely rapid, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her eyes were filled with endless fear and helplessness, as if the whole world had frozen in this moment.

The sudden appearance of the snake was like a bolt from the blue, and the fear in her heart surged like a tide, drowning everything. Lan Wangshu's body became extremely stiff in an instant, as if frozen by an invisible force, and she was completely unable to move even a small step. Her throat seemed to be tightly strangled by a ruthless big hand, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make the slightest sound.

At this critical moment, Lan Wansu came quickly like a gust of wind. His movements were swift and decisive. Without any hesitation, he reached out and resolutely took off the silk in front of him. His expression was focused and determined, like a battle-hardened warrior facing a life-and-death duel.

The surroundings were dead silent, with only the gentle rain blowing past, shaking the leaves and making a slight rustling sound.

However, something unexpected happened. The snake turned its head and stared at Lan Wansu. Its eyes changed miraculously in an instant. The originally narrow and sharp pupils became blurred, as if shrouded in a layer of hazy mist. Then, without any warning, the snake fell to the ground.

Almost at the same moment, the dense dark clouds suddenly dispersed as if swept by a strong wind, and the sky became clear again in an instant, with no clouds in sight.

The sun was like tiny pieces of gold foil, penetrating through layers of green leaves and falling on the winding path, which was mottled and looked like an abstract painting. The air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and grass, mixed with a subtle tension, as if foreshadowing the thrilling scenes that were about to take place.

Lan Wangshu's figure shuttled through the forest of light and shadow. Her steps were steady and powerful. Every step she took was like beating a war drum of revenge, sonorous and powerful. Her heartbeat resonated with the drumbeat, and every breath was filled with unwavering determination. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, fixed tightly on the snake entrenched in the shadow in front of her, which seemed to hide some key information.

Just as she was about to approach, a warm and strong hand tightly grasped her wrist, stopping her from moving forward. Lan Wangshu turned her head involuntarily, and her sight happened to collide with Lan Wansu's amber eyes. Those eyes were as deep as the sea, with ripples of worry, like the brightest stars in the night sky, shining with endless care for her.

Lan Wansu's eyes were filled with turbulent waves, and his brows were tightly knitted, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. His eyes followed Lan Wangshu closely, and the undisguised worry was like an invisible net, gently wrapping her up. At this moment, Lan Wangshu felt unprecedented clarity, and her thoughts were no longer troubled by confusion, but she could truly understand every subtle change in Lan Wansu's eyes.

His eyes, like a mirror, reflected Lan Wangshu's courage and determination deep in her heart, and also reflected his deep affection and protection for her. In such an eye contact, Lan Wangshu felt a warm current flowing through her body, and her determination became stronger, because she knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, there was someone willing to fight side by side with her and face unknown challenges together.

Lan Wansu's brows relaxed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was a silent support and encouragement to Lan Wangshu. The tacit understanding between them did not need words, just a glance could convey thousands of words. In this mysterious and tense forest, their relationship became closer, and their fate became more intertwined.

Lan Wangshu nodded gently, indicating that she understood Lan Wansu's concerns and was grateful for his reminder. She retracted her gaze and refocused on the goal ahead, but this time, her steps were more calm, because she knew that she was no longer alone and had the most solid support behind her.

The two continued to move forward, their figures gradually moving away in the mottled sunlight, but their determination and belief were like the toughest trees in this forest, deeply rooted and unafraid of wind and rain.

Lan Wansu's voice sounded particularly steady in the quiet forest, and his words were full of unquestionable decisiveness. He gently let go of Lan Wangshu's arm, his movements gentle and measured, as if to tell her that he would be her solid backing.

Lan Wangshu looked up at Lan Wansu, her eyes flashing with trust and determination. She knew that the man in front of her was not only her companion, but also her comrade-in-arms. There was no need for too many words between them. A glance or a gesture was enough to convey each other's feelings.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here." Lan Wangshu's voice was calm and firm, and her eyes never left the seemingly ordinary snake. She knew that the appearance of this snake was no accident, it could be part of a conspiracy, or it could be the key to solving the mystery.

Lan Wansu nodded, his eyes revealing a calmness and wisdom that should not be underestimated. He walked slowly towards the snake, each step was extremely cautious, and he had a thin branch in his hand to test and provoke the snake, just in case.

Lan Wangshu's eyes followed Lan Wansu closely, her heartbeat quickened, but her expression remained calm. She believed in Lan Wansu's ability, and was also ready to support him at any time.

Just as Lan Wansu was about to touch the snake, it suddenly moved, twisting its body into a strange shape, as if to warn the intruder. Lan Wansu paused, but he did not retreat. Instead, he carefully touched the object next to the snake with the branch.

The object shone with a strange light in the sun. It looked like an ancient rune, engraved with complex and mysterious symbols. Lan Wansu picked it up carefully and quickly retreated to Lan Wangshu's side.

"This is it. I can feel an unusual power contained in it." There was a hint of excitement in Lan Wansu's voice. He handed the rune to Lan Wangshu so that she could observe it carefully.

Lan Wangshu took the rune and gently stroked the complex lines with her fingers. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. "This is indeed not an ordinary thing. We have to handle it carefully." Her voice revealed a seriousness that could not be ignored.

The two looked at each other and they both understood that this discovery might change everything. But they also knew that it would bring more unknowns and dangers. However, with each other's company and support, they believed that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, they could overcome them together.

Lan Wansu held Lan Wangshu's hand again, his eyes full of determination and warmth. "No matter what happens, we will face it together." His words were simple and sincere, like the unchanging oath in his heart.

Lan Wangshu smiled slightly, and she held Lan Wansu's hand tightly, her heart filled with gratitude and courage. "Yes, we will be together." Her voice was soft and powerful, like a promise to the future.

In this forest full of mystery and danger, two figures cling to each other, their steps firm and calm, moving forward towards the unknown. Their story has just begun.

Lan Wansu stared at the front closely, with a determined light in his eyes. He walked forward carefully, and every step was extremely cautious. Of course, he would not let Lan Wangshu get close to any dangerous place, so he stopped, turned back and gently told Lan Wangshu to wait where he was, and then he continued to walk forward without hesitation.

When Lan Wansu got closer to the snake, his heart beat faster, but he tried to stay calm.

The man carefully observed the surrounding environment, and sure enough, as Lan Wangshu had expected, there was a bamboo tube tied next to the snake.

Lan Wansu's eyes were focused and sharp, as if he was in a silent confrontation with the snake.

After making sure the snake would not wake up, he slowly walked over.

Lan Wansu gently stretched out his hand and approached the bamboo tube cautiously, his movements soft and steady, for fear of alerting the snake.

After the man took it, he looked at it for a long time and made sure there was no danger before giving it to Lan Wangshu.

The girl took it and looked at the dots and lines on the bamboo tube. She could tell at a glance that it was Morse code. This news was not good news for her.

She raised her head and smiled at Lan Wansu.

"You go back first, I'll study it."

"you sure?"

Lan Wansu clearly didn't believe her, his eyes were full of doubt.

Lan Wangshu smiled and nodded, his eyes serious.

"Ok."

Lan Wansu then left reluctantly.

Lan Wangshu tightly grasped the bamboo tube, her face livid, her eyes flashing with anger. Her fists were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned slightly white from the excessive force.

She returned to the room without saying a word, and the sound of the door closing was resolute. Sitting on the bed, she stared at the bamboo tube, as if she could see Jiang Luo's provocative eyes through it.

An unknown anger burned in her heart. She gritted her teeth and tried to control her emotions. How dare Jiang Luo order her like this? She was an independent-minded person and would never be manipulated by others.

However, the address on the bamboo tube was like a sword hanging over her head, which she could not ignore. She knew that she had to face this challenge, no matter what was waiting for her ahead.

Lan Wangshu took a deep breath and stood up. Her steps were firm and powerful, as if she was showing Jiang Luo her determination. She wanted to let him know that she would not be easily defeated, nor would she be swayed by his orders. No matter what, she would go to that address and find out what tricks Jiang Luo was playing.

The next day, she walked through the winding paths, crossed the deep forest, and finally came to Jiang Luo's hiding place - an ancient castle shrouded in haze.

The stone walls of the castle were covered with vines, which seemed to be the traces of time and the entanglement of countless wronged souls. Lan Wangshu was not afraid at all, as she knew that every stone here had witnessed too many sins, and she would become the sword of justice that would end it all.

She sneaked into the castle quietly, avoiding all traps and guards with her extraordinary wisdom and sharp intuition. Her target is Jiang Luo, the woman who manipulates the Gu worm and has deep scheming. She must find her, expose her crimes, and make her pay for what she has done.
