Female lead: No, it's me again??

A few pale purple tears slid down her cheeks, falling to the ground like blossoms.

She seemed to be trapped in a fleeting illusion woven from her own tears, leaving her bewildered.

Xuan Li quickly removed his fingertips from the crystal, and the oppressive sadness slowly subsided.

When she came to her senses, she was shocked to find that she had signed a soul contract with it!

What's even more outrageous is that she also felt a resonance from the soul!

It seems as if it was born for her!

it's wired.

Xuan Li was still shaken by what had just happened, and she held the hairpin handle with great care.

A faint white light began to cover the hairpin, which stretched and widened, slowly transforming into a sword under her gaze.

It is slightly longer than an ordinary sword.

The sword is a translucent white jade, and the shape of the sun can be vaguely seen. The sword is engraved with phoenix feather patterns, which are exquisite and beautiful.

The phoenix's single wing extends towards the inside of the arm at the junction of the hilt and blade.

The phoenix head carving at the bottom of the sword hilt is even more lifelike, and its purple-gold eyes seem to be able to speak.

The exquisite craftsmanship of this sword is truly a masterpiece!

Golden light flowed across the sword, adding to its sacredness.

Putting aside what just happened, this sword is simply a perfect fit for Xuan Li's aesthetic.

Moreover, it has a very beautiful name: Fengxi.

Therefore, the image carved on it is a phoenix.

Xuan Li held the sword in his hands, his heart filled with complex emotions.

Is her brother hiding something about her background?

Why would a human bleed purple blood?

He's just an ordinary person, yet he can contract spirit beasts and weapons like a cultivator?

She bit her lip, watching the long sword in her hand slowly transform back into the phoenix jade hairpin, which she then inserted into her hair.

The third item was a red stone about the size of a fist.

The color is too dark to see the texture.

She glanced at the round bead again and decided to take them with her.

Little did she know that in this area, the gears of fate had finally returned to their proper course.

She walked outwards along the river, the faint candlelight of the lotus lantern becoming her only source of light.

After walking about two or three hundred meters and crossing a series of low stone caves, Xuan Li's view finally opened up.

The river split into two streams three meters in front of her, flowing to opposite sides.

The rows of purple bamboo planted in the middle are only half a meter tall and very thin.

There are about a dozen plants, with golden Big Dipper patterns on the edges of their purple leaves, which are also present on the bamboo stems.

Xuan Li walked around the room.

It's not very big here, about four or five meters in diameter.

There was nothing on the smooth stone wall, not even any openings leading to other places.

The two streams of water bypassed the bamboo and converged again, flowing into a very small hole.

In other words, she had come to a dead end.

Xuan Li returned to the dozen or so bamboo stalks, sat down, and stared at them in a daze.

Bamboo... Purple Divine Bamboo...

This one is also purple. Could this be the thing Feng Siyue wants?

Thinking about it again, it seems unlikely. Isn't it said that the Purple Divine Bamboo is in the core area?

It shouldn't appear here.

However, the current situation of this secret realm is not quite the same as what the old man from the Bai family said.

What if she leaves easily, and that's exactly what happens to it?

or......

take away?

Xuan Li stood up, reached out and grasped the base of the Purple Divine Bamboo to begin pulling it up.

Easy.

Xuan Li took out the flowerpots prepared in her storage ring, filled them with soil, and then planted the bamboo stalks one by one.

Fill with soil.

Finally, he cleared out the porcelain bottle, filled it with some underground flowing water, poured it over the items, and then put them all into the storage ring.

Since time is frozen inside the storage ring, she's not afraid of them dying.

Thirteen basins in total!

Xuan Li was very satisfied.

She washed her hands thoroughly before returning the way she came.

If it is, then everything is fine; if it isn't, it doesn't matter. Anyway, this bamboo is quite beautiful and would be perfect as a potted plant.

Back in the cave, Xuan Li circled the cave again and again, but still couldn't find any other passage.

If there was no way in, how did I get in?

The stone chamber was empty; there was nothing there but herself.

Oh, and there are a few weeds too.

Xuan Li squatted silently in the corner, sighing, "Feng Siyue, where are you?"

Feng Siyue also stumbled into a stone chamber, which was no different from Xuan Li's. Gold and silver treasures were casually scattered on the ground, and oil lamps on the stone walls lit up one by one as she arrived, flickering with orange light.

The stone chamber is not large; it can be explored in a dozen or so breaths.

But there were three exits in front of her.

These three exits may lead in completely different directions.

Where did Ali go?

This was the first question Feng Siyue thought of after waking up.

Having heard no sound and with so many roads to choose from, Feng Siyue had no choice but to search one by one.

She walked down the left-hand passage; the ground was wet.

At the end, there seemed to be a flower room, where all kinds of brightly colored flowers bloomed in this small space, vying for beauty and filling the air with fragrance.

There is a stone tablet at the entrance that reads:

If you like, you can choose one to take home.

A gentleman cultivates flowers as he would his own life, cherishing and loving them.

Is this the Sword Saint's greenhouse?

Feng Siyue looked around and spotted a very special plant among the vibrant colors.

The long, purple stems are covered with many small, lantern-like black flowers, and a faint coolness emanates from them, making one feel as if they are in a snowy wonderland.
