Chapter 213 Like a Wonderland

As they walked along the mountain road, they discussed the feasibility of using mushroom houses in the military. As the sky darkened, Ji Junche gently nudged Gu Yichen, "Brother, it's getting late. Shouldn't we go back?"

Gu Yichen looked up at the sky and nodded, saying, "Young Master Feng San, Lord Wen, Miss Xinying, we still have to go up the mountain to the hot spring villa, which will take about half an hour. If you want to visit other places, I will accompany you to the terraced fields and orchards tomorrow."

Feng Jingsu, Wen Yuan, and Feng Xinying exchanged glances and agreed. Gu Yichen waved his hand, and his followers followed suit. Zhu Yan, Zhu Xun, Yin Ping, and Yin Shuang followed closely behind. Ji Junche, Yun Ruoxi, and the others headed towards the hot spring villa on the mountain.

Stone lanterns lining the mountain path flickered softly, casting a striking light on the surrounding vegetation and path. As the group advanced, the lights along the path seemed to lead them into a tranquil paradise. The shadows of the trees swayed, and an occasional breeze rustled the leaves.

"This place is truly a hidden gem," Wen Yuan exclaimed, looking around. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to imagine such a beautiful scenery hidden in the mountains."

"Brother Yichen's Peach Blossom Villa truly lives up to its name." Feng Jingsu also nodded in agreement, "A place like this really makes people relax."

In less than two cups of tea, everyone arrived at the Jade Spring Garden, the hot spring retreat. By then, it was completely dark, but the warm lights in the courtyard, against the backdrop of the steaming hot springs, created a dreamlike atmosphere. The Jade Spring Pool, a unique semicircular design, shimmered in the candlelight, while the surrounding greenery swayed gently in the night breeze, creating a fairyland-like experience.

"It's so beautiful," Feng Xinying said softly, her eyes lingering on the edge of the hot spring pool. "This design blends perfectly with nature."

"This Yuquan Garden isn't just charming, the scenery is captivating," Gu Yichen said with a faint smile, pointing to the poolside dining area. "It's also a great place to dine. There's an open pavilion beside the pool, with vines drooping from the thatched roof, giving you a sense of being surrounded by nature. The evening breeze, accompanied by the steam from the hot springs, makes the aroma of the food even more intense."

Inside the pavilion, several long wooden tables were meticulously arranged, each lit with candles, casting a soft glow over the dining area. The branches and leaves of the surrounding peach trees swayed in the breeze, their reflections reflected in the clear spring water, creating a scene that felt like another world.

"Dining here at night is really a unique experience." Yun Ruoxi smiled, her eyes revealing pride in the beautiful scenery.

"Yes," Ji Junche agreed, "Not only can the hot spring water here soothe the body and mind, but the nearby bamboo forest and peach forest are also the treasures of our villa. Let's take a closer look after dawn tomorrow, and you, my distinguished guests, will surely see more wonders."

Everyone gathered in a pavilion beside the hot springs, the soft candlelight casting a warmth on everyone's face. The steam lingered, blurring the lines between reality and dream. As the night deepened, a gentle breeze rustled, the shimmering waters of the hot springs shimmered, accompanied by the subtle fragrance of plants and the humming of night insects, filling the entire Yuquan Garden with a tranquil and warm atmosphere.

"Such a peaceful place," Wen Yuan sighed softly, closing his eyes. "It really can make people forget their worries."

Feng Jingsu looked at the hot spring pool thoughtfully, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "If I could stay here permanently, I'm afraid the troubles in the world wouldn't be a big deal."

"That's right," Gu Yichen nodded slightly, "Here, mountains and water are interdependent, and nature and man are one. This is also the realm that our villa pursues."
