The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Hua Chao looked up at Ling Mi who was climbing the cliff nimbly at the foot of the cliff. Her delicate figure looked like an elf on the cliff, and she gradually stopped worrying.

As expected of a little flower elf who cultivated in the mountains, even if he is now an ordinary mortal, he can still move as light as a swallow and shuttle between cliffs with equal ease.

So she simply sat in the grass and waited patiently for the honey to come down.

Xiaowo stayed quietly beside Hua Chao and didn't run around.

"Sister, look, look! This is the Ganoderma lucidum. Hahahaha... It's so big, I can exchange it for a lot of silver!"

Soon Lingmi came down from the cliff, holding a coral-shaped Ganoderma lucidum in her hand, and ran towards Hua Chao.

Hua Chao took the Ganoderma Lucidum handed to her by Ling Mi and looked at it carefully. The Ganoderma Lucidum in her hand was indeed a five-colored divine Ganoderma Lucidum condensed from the essence of mountains, rivers, clouds, rain, four seasons, five elements, yin and yang, day and night. The colors were gorgeous but not gaudy, festive but not frivolous.

Hua Chao muttered to himself, "No wonder they say that the birth of Ganoderma lucidum must be surrounded by a myth. The soil is pure, auspicious clouds are lingering, and spiritual light is radiant. Only then can the five-colored Ganoderma lucidum that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth be nurtured. The scenery here is like a fairyland, so it is inevitable that the divine Ganoderma lucidum will be nurtured."

"How about it? This Ganoderma lucidum is pretty good, isn't it? It took me a lot of effort to dig it out."

Ling Mi patted the crumbs on her hands and looked at the nest with some pride.

"Hiss..."

Xiaowo exerted force with his legs and jumped onto Lingmi's shoulder, shaking his big tail as if praising Lingmi.

“Hahaha!…Look, Xiaowo is also praising you. Our Lingmi is really capable.”

"Hehe!... After you two said that, I feel a little embarrassed!" Ling Mi lightly covered her cherry lips and smiled shyly at me.

Hua Chao put the two backpacks together and saw many kinds of medicinal herbs in the two baskets. Unfortunately, Hua Chao could only recognize a few of them.

"Good, good. We have achieved great results today. All these medicinal herbs are enough for us to exchange for some silver. Let's go back." Hua Chao patted the two backpacks contentedly.

"Xiao Wo, why don't you take us around on the way and see what other fun places there are? It's a pity that I was so busy picking herbs just now that I didn't take a good look at the scenery in the mountains." Ling Mi reached out and patted Xiao Wo on the shoulder.

"Hiss..."

Xiaowo jumped lightly onto Lingmi's other shoulder, with his little paw pointing to the left.

"Hehe, my little one is really smart. He understood immediately. Let's go. It's not too late to go home after seeing the beautiful scenery in the mountains."

Ling Mi followed the direction indicated by the nest and walked down. The mountain road was rugged, but it was not a way down the mountain but an upward way.

After twists and turns, what appeared in front of Hua Chao and Ling Mi was a dark cave entrance.

"What is this place? It looks like a cave. Xiaowo, are you sure you want to let us in? I want to see the scenery in the mountains, not the scenery in the cave." Ling Mi asked hesitantly.

Unexpectedly, Xiaowo jumped off Lingmi's shoulder, rushed into the cave, and disappeared without a trace.

"Let's go. Look, Xiaowo has already gone in! It just wants us to go in and take a look. So don't worry about anything else and just trust it." Hua Chao followed Xiaowo a few steps into the cave.

After entering the cave, it turned out that it was not as dark as Hua Chao had imagined. The stalactites in the entire cave were very clear. Although it was a little dark, there was still some light.

Hua Chao was just about to call for Xiaowo. After all, he had just arrived and was still a little uncomfortable. He couldn't find where Xiaowo was for a while.

"Hiss..." Hua Chao followed the sound, but couldn't see clearly where the nest was.

"Hiss..."

Looking up, I saw that the little guy was right above the cave, where there was an exit like a skylight. The sky seemed even clearer and the clouds were constantly moving.

"Lingmi, let's go up and take a look. I wonder where this little guy is going to take us."

"Xiaowo lives in this forest, so he must know where the fun places are. It will be right to follow him."

Ling Mi said as she looked for a place to climb, and in a few steps she reached the skylight exit of the cave.

"Wow! It's so beautiful here!..."

Hua Chao heard Ling Mi's scream who had just crawled out, and imitated Ling Mi, rushing to the exit of the cave in a few steps.

Hua Chao crawled out of the cave, stood up and saw that the scene in front of him suddenly brightened. It was a flat mountain top with several green pines and cypresses standing in the middle.

On the tallest and thickest pine tree were written three large characters: "逡云盘".

There are endless mountains surrounding the place, with clouds and mist lingering between the mountains. In front of the place is a wide river. Hua Chao couldn't help but take a deep breath of the fresh air here.

"Ling Mi, this place is so beautiful, it's a pity that we can't live here. It would be great if we could live here, it would be like a fairyland!"

Hua Chao sat down on the edge of the cliff, dangling his feet on the wall.

Ling Mi came over and sat next to her, gently resting her head on Hua Chao's shoulder.

"Lingmi, the two of us will go up the mountain to collect herbs before sunrise tomorrow. How about coming here to watch the sunrise? I think the sunrise here must be beautiful."

"Great! I also want to see the sunrise here. The scenery is beautiful just thinking about it. When I was practicing in the mountains, I often absorbed the essence of the sun, moon, heaven and earth at the edge of the cliff at sunrise."

"We will go up the mountain to collect herbs before sunrise, and then go down the mountain to look for Yang Shilin. The most important thing for us now is to find Yang Shilin. Alas!... I don't know when we can find him." Hua Chao's voice was a little hoarse.

"Sister, don't be anxious. Didn't the old immortal say that we can find the person we are looking for here? Then there won't be any problem. It's just a matter of time. Don't worry. Starting tomorrow, Ling Mi will work hard to help you find him."

"Woooo..."

Xiaowo jumped from Lingmi's shoulder to Huachao's shoulder, and rubbed Huachao's face gently with his little head.

Hua Chao reached out and caught it in his palm.

“Okay, I know my little nest will also help me find Young Master Yang, you are the best!”

Ling Mi stood up and put her hands to her mouth. "Ah...! Yang Shilin... where are you... we have been looking for you so hard... just come out soon..."

A long echo came from the mountains, as if the mountains were asking for Hua Chao.

"Hahaha... My Ling Mi is my happy pill."

Hua Chao's eyes were already filled with tears as she spoke.

"Sister, you might as well shout like this. You will feel very comfortable after shouting. If you don't believe me, just try it."

"Ah! ... I can't shout out..."

Ling Mi pulled Hua Chao up and said, "Sister, just give it a try. If you shout out the frustration in your heart, you will feel much better."

Hua Chao looked at the mountains in front of him, and the sad memories of the past few days came to his mind.

"Ah...ah..."

"Yang Shilin...where are you..."

The clear sound in the valley was carried far away.
