Traveling through time and space to become the richest woman and falling in love with the young mast

Suddenly, Dongfang Qingmo grabbed Qian Shuishui, pointed to a shop and said, "Shuishui, go in and take a look!" This shop was a pawnshop, and there were all kinds of servants for sale.

Qian Shuishui asked doubtfully, "Buy someone?"

Dongfang Qingmo nodded and explained, "Yes, Huangfu Yi is a man after all. It's not convenient for a group of women like us to take care of him. Besides, he is injured and needs a man's help."

Qian Shuishui thought it made sense, so she said, "Then buy it!"

The two of them walked into the brokerage shop and after choosing for a while, they finally picked a suitable male servant for Huangfu Yi.

This servant looks very honest and should take good care of Huangfu Yi.

After paying, the two returned to the inn with the servant.

Along the way, Dongfang Qingmo was thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

Finally, she suddenly had an idea and said to Qian Shuishui: "I've thought about it. Since he still doesn't like me, why don't I change my strategy."

Qian Shuishui asked curiously, "What strategy?"

Dongfang Qingmo smiled and said mysteriously, "Playing hard to get."

She decided not to show her face in front of Huangfu Yi for the time being, giving him some time and space to digest the relationship between them.

This might make him realize his feelings.

After returning to the inn, Dongfang Qingmo asked Qian Shuishui to take the male servant to Huangfu Yi's room and explain the situation to him. She stayed outside, waiting for news.

Qian Shuishui came out shortly after entering. Dongfang Qingmo quickly asked, "Shuishui, what did he say?"

Qian Shuishui pulled the corner of her mouth and said helplessly: "I just said thank you and then kicked me out."

"Ah? Did you tell him that we were leaving?" Dongfang Qingmo asked anxiously.

"I mentioned it and he nodded." Qian Shuishui replied.

Dongfang Qingmo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this answer, thinking that at least Huangfu Yi already knew their next itinerary. She continued, "Okay, let's pack up and continue on our journey."

After saying that, she turned around and instructed Yunmei, Dahua and others behind her to pack their luggage as soon as possible and be ready to leave at any time.

As time went by, the carriage continued to move forward, with the sound of horse hooves and clouds of dust raised along the way.

In this way, after nearly half a month of fast driving, they finally arrived at their destination - the foggy forest.

During this journey, Dongfang Qingmo never appeared in front of Huangfu Yi.

At first, Huangfu Yi felt a little strange, but as time went by, he gradually put this matter behind him and thought that Dongfang Qingmo was just acting on a whim.

However, Dongfang Qingmo always kept an eye on Huangfu Yi silently, watching him from afar every time.

She became increasingly aware that Huangfu Yi had taken root deep in her heart and could not be easily erased.

This feeling became stronger and stronger, like an irresistible urge that made it difficult for her to let go.

"Is it really as the saying goes, that what you can't get will always make you restless?" Dongfang Qingmo couldn't help but think to himself.

Until finally, when they met again, they had arrived at the place called the mist forest.

The group stopped in front of the foggy forest.

A large forest suddenly appears in the endless prairie, which looks incongruous no matter how you look at it.

"Is this the fog forest?" Qian Shuishui looked at the eerie forest in front of her, feeling a little uneasy and shuddering. Her eyes widened, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face, and her voice trembled.

Dongfang Qingmo held the map in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, and he searched the map intently. After confirming it again and again, he slowly said, "It seems so."

Qian Shuishui felt a chill running down her spine, forcing her to hug her arms tightly. She stared wide-eyed at the mist-shrouded forest, muttering to herself, "Why does this feel so weird..."

At this moment, Huangfu Yi stepped down from the carriage. He looked extremely weak, his face as pale as paper, and his steps were unsteady. The servant hurried forward to support him, fearing that he would accidentally fall to the ground.

Huangfu Yi's injuries were becoming increasingly severe, seemingly reaching their limit, and he could slip into a coma at any moment. Meanwhile, the news from Lianlan Gate and Bounty House had fallen on deaf ears, yielding no results.

Huangfu Yi coughed a few times and said weakly: "Ahem~~That's it."

Dongfang Qingmo heard the voice and turned around quickly. When he saw Huangfu Yi's haggard face, his heart tightened.

Huangfu Yi looked so fragile at this moment, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

However, despite his miserable state, his temperament was still noble and elegant, which made people feel awe.

"Then..." Dongfang Qingmo hesitated, thinking to herself: I definitely can't enter the mist forest in my current state, otherwise I might turn into a pile of bones after just a few steps! But if I send someone in, who should I send? For a moment, she was in a dilemma.

At this time, Yunmei suddenly stood up and said, "Sir, let your subordinates go!" She volunteered to go to the mist forest.

However, Huangfu Yi did not even look at her, but turned his gaze to Dongfang Qingmo and asked her to go.

Upon hearing this, Qian Shuishui immediately said in dissatisfaction, "Young Master Huangfu, are you sick and confused? Qingmo doesn't even have internal energy. Letting her in is simply sending her to her death!"

Huangfu Yi still insisted on his opinion, "You have to go!" His tone was firm and unquestionable.

Dongfang Qingmo's heart tightened after hearing this, but he still took a deep breath, nodded, and replied, "Okay, I'll go."

Qian Shuishui widened her eyes and looked at Dongfang Qingmo in disbelief, "Qingmo?!"

When they were in the carriage before, they had already agreed that someone else would enter the misty forest in her place. Why did she change her mind and agree now?

"Young Master?! No!" Yunmei suddenly raised her head and shouted loudly.

If the young lady really enters the misty forest, if something happens, she will be blamed for her death! !

Huangfu Yi naturally had his own considerations, he just looked at Dongfang Qingmo quietly without saying a word.

"Keep an eye on him!" Dongfang Qingmo pursed his lips tightly, quickly climbed onto a horse, swung the whip vigorously, and shouted, "Go!"

She really couldn't stand Huangfu Yi's suffocating gaze.

"Qing Mo?!" Qian Shuishui looked helpless. She quickly mounted another horse and chased after him, shouting, "Wait for me."

"Young Master!" Yun Mei shouted loudly, glaring at Huangfu Yi fiercely. "If anything happens to my young master here tonight, no matter who you are, our Dongfang family will never let it go!"

After saying that, she followed closely.

After Dongfang Qingmo mustered up the courage to enter the misty forest, he immediately felt extremely regretful.

Whenever she saw Huangfu Yi's sharp eyes, she would involuntarily feel fear.

Qian Shuishui quickly caught up with her and shouted anxiously: "Qingmo, Qingmo?!"

“Shuishui…”

"Come back with me!"

Dongfang Qingmo shook her head firmly. Although her heart was filled with regret, since she had already stepped into this misty forest, she had no intention of leaving easily. She had to gain something.

Qian Shuishui's persuasion was in vain, so she had no choice but to stay with her.

The two men rode their horses for a short distance, but the horses refused to move forward.

"Gee!" Dongfang Qingmo squeezed the horse's belly.

However, the horse neighed and threw her off.

At this critical moment, Qian Shuishui was quick-eyed and quick-handed and caught Dongfang Qingmo.

After Dongfang Qingmo found his footing, he looked at the horse with a puzzled look on his face and muttered to himself, "What's going on?"

Qian Shuishui was also confused and shook her head to indicate that she didn't know the reason.

"Forget it, we don't want this horse anymore, let's go..." Dongfang Qingmo said helplessly.

Qian Shuishui hesitated for a moment and suggested, "Qingmo, how about we go out first? We can discuss this later?"

After all, they had only taken a few steps when the horse refused to move forward. There might be more unknown dangers waiting for them ahead.

But Dongfang Qingmo shook his head firmly to refuse.

Qian Shuishui had no choice but to give up and stop persuading.

The two continued to move forward cautiously in the foggy forest. The thick fog around them made people feel depressed and uneasy.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew past, accompanied by a strange sound, as if something was spying on them in the dark.

Dongfang Qingmo was startled by this sudden change. He grabbed Qian Shuishui's arm tightly, his body trembling slightly.

Qian Shuishui tried to calm herself down and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Shuishui is here."

Although her voice trembled slightly, she still tried her best to give Dongfang Qingmo a sense of security.

At this time, a figure vaguely appeared in front of them. Dongfang Qingmo and Qian Shuishui looked at each other and walked forward vigilantly.

When they saw who it was, they both breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a white-haired old man.

The old man looked at them sharply and said slowly: "You shouldn't come here..."

"Old man, what secrets does this foggy forest hold?" Dongfang Qingmo asked courageously.

The old man was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "There is a mysterious power hidden in this misty forest. Entering rashly will only bring danger. I have warned others many times, but some always refuse to listen."

"Then what should we do now?" Qian Shuishui asked anxiously.

The old man looked at them, thought for a moment, and then said, "Come with me, maybe I can take you away from here. But don't run around on the way, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Dongfang Qingmo and Qian Shuishui exchanged a glance, with the former firmly refusing, "No, we came in to look for something!"

The old man frowned and looked at Dongfang Qingmo with a hint of displeasure: "Is life not worth anything?"

His voice hit Dongfang Qingmo's heart like a heavy hammer, causing her breathing to stop.

"..." Dongfang Qingmo was shocked by the old man's aura and was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Qian Shuishui quickly stepped forward to block her and said to the old man, "We will get out after we find something."

The old man shook his head regretfully and warned in a serious tone, "Humph...it will be too late by then."

After saying that, he turned and left, quickly disappearing from their sight.

Dongfang Qingmo looked at the direction the old man left, feeling confused. She didn't know what to do.

Qian Shuishui looked at her worriedly and asked with concern: "Qingmo, are you okay?"

Dongfang Qingmo took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in his heart, and nodded: "Not bad."

Although she had just experienced a thrilling confrontation, she had gradually regained her composure.

"What should we do next?" Qian Shuishui asked.

Dongfang Qingmo thought for a moment and decided to continue looking for clues. After all, the purpose of their trip was to find that important thing.

"Let's see if there is any useful information around here," she said.

So, the two began to search the surroundings carefully, hoping to find some clues about the Nine Yang Divine Grass.

The further you go into the fog forest, the taller and denser the trees become, with lush branches and leaves, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate the thick shade.

Even in the daytime, the woods seemed extremely dark, as if they were always shrouded in a mysterious mist.

An oppressive atmosphere filled the air.

It was quiet all around, with only the occasional bird calls or insect chirps, but those sounds seemed to be swallowed up by the woods, seeming so faint and distant.

There are thick fallen leaves under your feet, which make a rustling sound when you step on them, which reminds you of those ancient legends and horror stories.

The trees in this forest are of various shapes. Some have twisted branches, as if telling some kind of pain; others are straight and tall, but the bark is covered with traces of time, giving people a sense of vicissitudes.

Between these trees, there are some strange-shaped shrubs and vines growing together, forming intricate mazes.

There is an indescribable atmosphere in the foggy forest.

It was a smell mixed with earth, rotting leaves, and unknown creatures.

Just when the two were at a loss, the mysterious old man appeared in front of them again.

The old man was sitting leisurely on a rocking chair woven from vines, swaying slightly as he spoke with a hint of joking, "Not bad, you were able to walk out of the fog."

Qian Shuishui couldn't help but wonder: "What fog?"

Have they passed by there before?! But why do I have no recollection of it at all...

The old man just glanced at Qian Shuishui lightly, and the next moment, Qian Shuishui felt a strong suction force coming, and the green wooden whip on his waist flew uncontrollably towards the old man.

Qian Shuishui wanted to take back the Green Wooden Whip, but she found that her internal strength was far inferior to the other party's!!!

She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Who the hell are you?!"

The old man held the green wood whip in his hand, and after examining it carefully, he said, "No wonder, it turns out to be a green wood vine."

He suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the fog had no effect on them. It turned out that they sensed the scent of the green wood vines and mistook them for their own kind.
