The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

"We are no match for it," Lin Wan'er whispered, "We have to find a way to lure it away."

Yun Mengyao nodded. She pulled a specially made whistling arrow from her quiver, placed it on her bow, and launched it with all her might. The arrow whistled sharply in the air, attracting the black bear's attention. The bear roared and charged in the direction of the arrow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three of them quickly left the place. They did not dare to stop and ran all the way until they could no longer hear the black bear's roar.

As night fell, they found a relatively secluded cave as a temporary shelter. They lit a bonfire, sat around it, and shared food and water.

"Today was truly thrilling," Lin Wan'er sighed, "but we can't let our guard down. Who knows what we might encounter tomorrow?"

"Yes," Lan Yunyan nodded.

Yun Mengyao looked at the fire silently, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

As the night deepened, they took turns keeping watch to ensure safety.

As Yun Mengyao kept watch, her thoughts surged like a tide.

She recalled the hardships and tribulations she had experienced along the way. Instead of defeating her, those difficulties made her stronger.

The flickering flames seemed to be telling endless stories, and also gave her the courage to move on.

When it was Lan Yunyan's turn to keep watch, Yun Mengyao leaned aside, closed her eyes and rested for a while, but she did not dare to completely relax her vigilance.

The dawn light gradually falls on the earth, and a new day is about to begin.

Yun Mengyao stood up and looked into the distance, her eyes full of anticipation.

Lan Yunyan called on her companions to set out to find an exit.

Lan Yunyan and her companions had been lost in the forest for several days, surrounded by dense trees and endless fog.

Their footsteps echoed in the silent forest, each step sounding particularly heavy. Their food and water were running low, and the flame of hope in their hearts was gradually dimming.

"Don't give up, we will definitely find a way out." Lan Yunyan's voice was a little hoarse.

However, just when they were about to give up, a faint light penetrated the fog ahead.

Lan Yunyan's eyes flashed with hope in the darkness, and she urged them to speed up.

As they got closer, the light grew brighter and brighter until they discovered a mysterious cave hidden among the trees.

The entrance to the cave is covered with vines and wild flowers, as if it is a secret carefully hidden by nature.

They walked cautiously into the cave and found it filled with a strange blue fluorescent light that illuminated their way.

The air inside the cave was fresh and moist, completely different from the forest outside. They went deeper into the cave until they came to an open underground space.

Here, they saw a huge crystal pool with clear water and a light mist floating on the surface.

There is a small island in the center of the pool, on which grows a mysterious plant that emits a soft glow.

At the top of the plant, a blooming flower was emitting dazzling light. That was the exit to the secret realm they were looking for.

Lan Yunyan and her companions carefully crossed the pool and came to the island.

They gathered around the plant, their hearts filled with curiosity. Lan Yunyan reached out and gently touched the flower.

The moment her fingertips touched the petals, the entire secret realm began to vibrate, and a beam of light shot out from the flower and straight into the sky.

In the beam of light, they saw a rotating light gate, which was the passage to the outside world.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of determination and courage.

Lan Yunyan was the first to step through the light gate, followed closely by her companions. As they passed through the light gate one by one, the tremors in the secret realm gradually subsided, and the light gate slowly closed, leaving them standing in a forest.

It is completely different from the mystery and claustrophobia of the secret realm.

Sunlight filters through layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows like nature's embellishment. The air is filled with the refreshing scent of earth and fresh leaves, which is refreshing.

She took a deep breath, taking in the tranquility and vitality of the forest.

Yun Mengyao and Lin Wan'er looked at each other with curiosity and vigilance.

In the forest, birds sing one after another, and occasionally you can hear the gurgling sound of a stream in the distance.

The sun was shining, the breeze was gentle, and in the distance were rolling hills and azure skies. They had finally left the secret realm and returned to the real world.

Lan Yunyan looked back and found that the entrance to the secret realm had disappeared. Lan Yunyan slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at her companions around her.

They began walking along a vaguely visible path. On either side of the path were dense shrubs and towering old trees, their trunks covered in moss and vines. Sunlight danced through the gaps in the leaves, dotting the path with a crisscross of light and shadow.

Lan Yunyan walked in front, her eyes sharp and her ears sharp, always paying attention to the movements around her. Her companions followed closely behind, their steps light and cautious, for fear of disturbing the creatures in the forest.

As they went deeper into the forest, the light around them gradually softened and the trees grew thicker.

They encountered a variety of plants, some with bright flowers and some with tempting fruits.

Lan Yunyan picked some carefully. She knew that in this unknown forest, food and water were the key to survival.

The number of animals in the forest gradually increased. They saw jumping squirrels, leisurely deer, and monkeys running between the branches.

The animals were curious about the outsiders but showed no hostility.

They continued walking until they came to an open clearing in the woods.

In the center of the clearing stood a huge old tree, its canopy blotting out the sun, its trunk covered in the scars of time. Beneath the tree, they discovered a clear pond, its water so clear they could see the bottom, and a few fallen leaves floating on the surface.

Lan Yunyan and her friends decided to take a break here. They sat around the pond, enjoying the tranquility and coolness of the forest.
