How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

After regaining her strength, Ye Yueyue began searching the surrounding area, calling out, "Qingbao!"

"Qingbao, where are you!"

The surroundings were quiet, without a sound or any sign of life, as if it had been isolated.

But before entering the territory of this tree, the Cloud Mist Mountain was teeming with monsters.

Ye Yueyue paused, then turned and returned to the location of the big tree.

Qingbao must be here!

They separated after they came in, and Jian Youqing would not leave alone until she had reunited with them and received news of her.

She will just keep waiting, just like that time.

This is why Ye Yueyue recognized that the illusion wasn't Qingbao; she would never deny it, she would only obediently say yes.

She appears aloof and arrogant on the surface, but that's only towards strangers. Once you get to know her, Jian Youqing is like a precious little kitten, incredibly obedient.

Seeing the hole on the side of the tree, Ye Yueyue had an idea and stepped inside!

That demonic plant is dead, and this is its territory, so there's no danger here.

As she stepped into the cave, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

Jian Youqing was lying to the side, her eyes closed, seemingly trapped in a nightmare.

Ye Yueyue stepped forward and shook her body:

"Qingbao? Wake up!"

"Hmm... Yuebao... where is she?"

The girl's delicate eyebrows furrowed, her expression somewhat uneasy, and she muttered something to herself.

She leaned closer to listen, a smile playing on her lips. "I'm here! You can see me as soon as you open your eyes!"

"...Yuebao!"

Jian Youqing jumped up and cried out anxiously the moment she saw the person, "Yuebao! I've finally found you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand was grabbed.

Feeling the warm touch, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Yueyue took it in and said with amusement, "Idiot, I've found you!"

"...You're the idiot!"

Having learned the whole story, Jian Youqing stood there thoughtfully, seemingly not yet fully awake.

Ye Yueyue began to explore the cave. The entrance was small, but there was no light. She walked inside, lighting a flame in her hand.

With the light shining in, the tree hole became bright, and Ye Yueyue noticed a small flower swaying in the breeze.

Her eyes lit up, and she moved closer.

Anything that can appear on this mountain and be protected by demonic plants must be something good!

Seemingly sensing the heat from the flames, the tiny flower trembled slightly, and the bud opened and bit Ye Yueyue's finger!

Blood beads gushed out instantly and were absorbed by the little flower.

"hiss……"

A stinging sensation came, and Ye Yueyue frowned, trying to shake it off, but the little flower clung to the wound and kept sucking at it, no matter how hard she tried to shake it off!

Hearing the sound, Jian Youqing, who was at the cave entrance, immediately came in:

"What's wrong, Yuebao?"

Upon seeing this, she immediately stepped forward to help.

The two of them pulled on the small flower together. It seemed weak, but it was surprisingly resilient. When they realized they couldn't shake it off, Ye Yueyue's eyes sharpened, and she gathered flames in her other hand.

【don't want! 】

An anxious voice suddenly rang in her mind. Ye Yueyue was stunned. The next second, the little flower fell off and jumped into her palm.

The white flower buds were wide open, and two leaves were intertwined, as if they were showing her affection.

"Master, I meant no harm! I was just trying to help you absorb the toxins."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yueyue looked down abruptly and discovered that the areas on her arm that had been pricked by the vines were no longer red, swollen, or black.

Only a small wound can be seen.

The faint stinging sensation she had felt earlier had completely disappeared. She had felt a little uncomfortable, but since Qingbao hadn't been found yet and she had taken an antidote, she didn't pay much attention to it.

Ye Yueyue gently stroked the little flower, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes. "Thank you."

The white flower bud closed instantly, turning pink all over, and very nimbly climbed onto Ye Yueyue's head.

It remained motionless, like a decorative little flower.

"This is... a spiritual plant?"

Jian Youqing asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Although she didn't know what the two were thinking, she saw the harmonious scene.

The girl, dressed in bright red, was as beautiful as a painting. Her gentle eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and a pure white flower was pinned in her long black hair. She looked very charming.

[Little White, what are you?]

Ye Yueyue glanced at Qingbao and asked.

She didn't know what this thing was, she only knew that she had been unilaterally contracted.

It was quite sudden.

【I am the Phantom Soul Flower. I was originally asleep, but my master awakened me. Sensing the poison, I voluntarily formed a contract with my master!】

The voice of the Illusionary Soul Flower rang out, sounding somewhat regretful.

What are you regretting?

I'm still not full...

Full? Toxins...

Ye Yueyue remained silent and removed the Illusionary Soul Flower from her head.

The small white flower lay in my palm, its branches somewhat translucent, looking pure and flawless. The tiny flower was especially endearing.

Okay, okay, how do you plan to spend the money?

A pure little flower falls in love with poison.

[Don't worry, you'll live the high life with your master!]

【Master, what is spicy?】

Don't worry about it, I'll make sure you eat and drink poison.

【it is good! 】

The petals twitched, looking quite excited.

"This is the Illusionary Soul Flower."

Jian Youqing looked up, somewhat bewildered, "Hmm?"

Ye Yueyue said, "The Illusionary Soul Flower is a rare demonic plant from the Nine Provinces Continent. It can create illusions and illusions."

As soon as Xiaobai mentioned it, it immediately came to mind.

Ye Yueyue had seen it in the records of rare treasures. Although it was only in words, her photographic memory made her remember it.

Ye Yueyue turned her head and asked, "Do you remember how you got here?"

Jian Youqing shook her head, "All I know is that not long after we came in, Yuebao suddenly disappeared, and then I've been looking for you ever since..."

It's obvious that the demonic plant was responsible; that illusion was so convincing that it was impossible to tell what was going on, and it even had the effect of bewitching people...

Thinking of this, Ye Yueyue glanced at her and asked, "Did you run into me along the way?"

"Yes, I searched there for a long time, and finally caught you. After that... I don't know. But as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw you again..."

Jian Youqing frowned, still a little confused.

The results are already obvious.

The demonic plant used a spell to separate them, and then created something else to confuse them, whether it was an illusion or something else was unclear.

If I had made contact with that person back then, I would probably have ended up trapped in this tree hollow like Qingbao.

Ye Yueyue still felt a lingering fear when she thought of that fake Jian Youqing.

Luckily, she's afraid of ghosts... How can that not be considered a kind of strength?

But how is this any different from being haunted? Being trapped in a ghost's maze is one thing, but this one is coded and will even turn into a teammate to get close to you.

The world of cultivation is indeed unpredictable and difficult to guard against.

"Let's go." After explaining the whole story to Qingbao, Ye Yueyue tucked the little flower into her hair and walked out of the tree hole.

Danger, but also opportunity.

The journey of cultivating immortality is destined to be fraught with difficulties, but she never regrets the decisions she has made.
