In the fantasy world, all the people I met were beauties.

The sunlight was just right, penetrating the treetops like fine threads, covering the mountains in the early morning with a layer of warm golden gauze.

Zhao Yanran, wearing a black tights, looks more agile and lively after being baptized by the waterfall.

She was like a deer running through the woods, leaping lightly on the winding paths with amazing agility and martial arts, leaving behind a trail of cheerful footprints.

Li Zimo followed closely behind and also jumped out of the waterfall.

As the water droplets splashed, he quickly adjusted his breathing, quickened his pace, and finally caught up with Zhao Yanran in a flash of light and shadow.

He smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone:

"Yanran, why are you running so fast? Wait for me! You don't know the location of the body of the man in black!"

Zhao Yanran did not stop, but raised the corner of her mouth slightly and hummed softly:

"Humph! Since you know I don't know the location, why don't you hurry up and lead the way!"

There was a hint of playfulness and stubbornness in his words.

Li Zimo's smile grew even warmer upon hearing this, and he said gently:

"Yanran, we're not in a hurry. We can just walk back slowly and enjoy the scenery along the way."

Zhao Yanran turned to look at Li Zimo, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, including helplessness and tenderness.

She rolled her eyes at Li Zimo, but continued to be unforgiving:

"Who wants to walk slowly with a big bad guy like you?"

If I listen to his nonsense again, I might not be able to reach Wen Wan'er before dark.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Seeing this, Li Zimo could only smile helplessly, silently speeding up his pace, flexibly moving through the woods, leading Zhao Yanran in the direction of progress.

After an hour of rapid driving, the sunlight gradually moved from overhead to the west, casting a layer of light golden glow over the mountains and forests.

Finally, in an open space, the two stopped, breathless but full of joy.

In front of him, Wen Wan'er, Xiao Ling and Feng Wuhen were waiting there quietly, their faces filled with smiles of anticipation and surprise.

"Yanran! Zimo! You're finally here!"

Wen Wan'er was the first to come forward, her voice full of concern and joy, as if all the waiting had vanished at this moment.

Xiao Ling followed closely behind, running over, holding Zhao Yanran's hand, and talking excitedly.

Feng Wuhen stood aside with a calm demeanor, his eyes revealing his relief at the two's safe return.

Zhao Yanran and Li Zimo were delighted to see that everyone was safe and sound.

"Everyone is fine, that's really great."

Zhao Yanran spoke softly, tears of emotion welling up in her eyes, but a satisfied smile played on her lips.

Her words were simple and sincere, yet they expressed the peace of mind and joy in everyone's heart.

Li Zimo nodded slightly and agreed:

"Yes, it is our greatest fortune to be able to reunite. Let's go home."

His voice was firm and warm, full of hope for the future.

So, the five of them set out on their journey home.

The setting sun stretched their shadows long, casting them on the winding path, creating a warm and harmonious picture.

Their laughter and conversations echoed in the mountains, as if even nature was singing for this reunion.

Two days later.

After two days of long journey, Li Zimo and his friends finally returned to Yinyue Town.

In Zhao Yanran's courtyard, laughter and joy of harvest were mixed in. Five people sat around the table, sharing the fruits of this adventure together.

Zhao Yanran's eyes sparkled with excitement as she announced the rich harvest of this expedition with a smile:

"This time, we not only got 150,000 spirit stones from the man in black, but we also got an additional 50,000 spirit stones by selling other items on him and the monsters we hunted."

"Not to mention the two precious Spiritual Vein Opening Fruits, which are worth as much as 100,000 Spiritual Stones."

"Adding the Spiritual Ascension Fruit, we've truly returned with a bountiful load this time! According to our previous agreement, each of us can receive 60,000 Spiritual Stones."

When distributing items, everyone's choices reflected consideration and respect for the team.

Li Zimo was confident in his own talent and strength, and believed that he did not need to rely too much on external things to break through the realm, so he gladly chose 60,000 spirit stones as his share.

Xiao Ling and Wen Wan'er, with their delicate minds, noticed Zhao Yanran and Feng Wuhen's urgent need to improve their cultivation, so they also took the initiative to choose spirit stones.

Zhao Yanran and Feng Wuhen also received the Lingmai Tongqiao Fruit and ten thousand spirit stones with gratitude.

As for the Spirit Ascension Fruit, it was given to Li Zimo and Wen Wan'er to refine the Level-Breaking Pill. They didn't want the pills anymore, as it was a way of repaying the favor they had received for giving them the Level-Breaking Pill last time.

As the distribution was completed, everyone stood up and said goodbye, leaving with full gains and expectations.

Zhao Yanran watched everyone leave one by one, feeling mixed emotions.

When her gaze finally fell on the backs of Li Zimo and Wen Wan'er as they walked away together, an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

She couldn't help but recall the thrilling and affectionate moment with Li Zimo under the waterfall. The passionate embrace at that moment seemed still vivid in her mind, making her heart beat faster.

She knew very well that there was an unusual feeling between her and Li Zimo, but that feeling always seemed to float between light and darkness, difficult to describe and even more difficult to make public.

In contrast, Wen Wan'er and Li Zimo can walk together so openly, enjoying the blessings and envy of the people around them, which makes her feel a little envious and lonely.

Zhao Yanran sighed softly and suppressed the thoughts in her mind.

She understood that everyone has their own fate and destiny. She could not force Li Zimo to give her the same treatment, nor could she be jealous of Wen Wan'er's happiness.

She could only cherish the unique memory between herself and Li Zimo, hiding it deep in her heart as a precious memory in her life journey.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Zhao Yanran felt a faint sense of loneliness in her heart.

At the parting intersection, Xiao Ling stood quietly, tears in her eyes, looking at Li Zimo hugging Wen Wan'er and leaving, her heart full of envy.

She envied Wen Wan'er for being so close to Li Zimo, and envied the warmth and companionship that she longed for but seemed out of reach.

She didn't know how long she stood there watching, until the night deepened and a cool breeze blew on her face, and she suddenly came to her senses.

Gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Xiao Ling turned and left, embarking on the road back to her residence.

Each step seemed particularly heavy, just like her mood, which was filled with both nostalgia for the past and uncertainty and confusion about the future.

But Li Zimo didn't know at this moment that two women were crying for him...
