Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

Chapter 186 The Mystery of Peach Blossom Spring 5

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the inn's windows and fell on everyone. After breakfast, they packed their belongings and prepared to say goodbye and continue their journey.

Little Stone suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Shen Ying's clothes, and stretched out his little hand, with his amulet lying in his palm.

When Little Stone's master saw this, his expression changed slightly, and his lips moved as if he wanted to stop it, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just sighed in his heart: Oh well, perhaps this is also his fate.

Shen Ying was a little surprised. She squatted down and gently asked Xiao Shitou, "Why did you give this to your sister?"

Little Stone blinked his big, watery eyes and said with a hint of reluctance, "I hope you have a safe journey, sister. This amulet will protect you."

Shen Ying was deeply moved upon hearing this. She reached out and touched the little stone's fluffy head. It felt so soft, just like petting a cute kitten.

She smiled and said, "My sister also has a talisman, it's right here."

As she spoke, she pointed to the totem on her chest, "It's very powerful. It can protect you from harm, so you don't need Little Stone's amulet. Little Stone's amulet is just for protecting Little Stone."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Little Stone's eyes, but he quickly cheered up and nodded vigorously.

After saying goodbye, they each embarked on their own journeys.

Little Stone stood still, watching intently as the carriage carrying Shen Ying and the others slowly departed until it disappeared at the end of the road.

The master looked at Little Stone's lonely little figure, walked over and patted his head: "Kid, everything is fate. She rejected you, which means you two are not meant to be. Don't worry about it."

Little Stone tilted his head, his eyes still fixed on the direction the carriage had gone, and muttered to himself, "I just hope that kind sister is safe and sound. After all, that Young Master Zhang with her is really too scary. I hope my sister won't be hurt by him."

As Shen Ying sat in the carriage, recalling Xiao Shitou's adorable and kind appearance, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

Zhang Wei looked at her, his eyes flickering slightly, and asked, "You really like that little boy?"

Shen Ying nodded: "Yes, he's very cute and kind."

Zhang Wei frowned slightly and didn't say anything more. He just looked at the scenery outside the carriage with a deep look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

With Zhang Wei leading the way, they got closer and closer to their destination.

As the carriage moved forward, the surrounding environment seemed to be slowly covered by an invisible giant hand, and that veil exuded an oppressive atmosphere.

Wisps of mist began to rise from the ground and from the trees, spreading and intertwining as if they were alive, gradually permeating the air, blurring the view, and making this place even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Shen Ying instinctively gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

Those bright eyes were filled with worry as they stared intently at the unknown area shrouded in mist ahead.

The driver's face grew increasingly pale, his eyes filled with fear, and his hand holding the reins trembled slightly as he muttered, "This place is eerie; I don't want to go any further."

Seeing this, Zhang Wei took out a bag of coins from his pocket, handed it to the driver, and said, "Take this money and leave."

The driver took the money bag, weighed it in his hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly said, "Thank you so much, sir. You are very generous. This place is too frightening. I really don't have the courage to go any further."

Zhang Wei nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

The driver bowed to Zhang Wei and Shen Ying, saying, "Then I'll take my leave. Take care, both of you."

After saying that, he hurriedly drove away and quickly disappeared into the fog.

Shen Ying was no longer surprised by Zhang Wei's generosity.

After all, he was extremely generous even to a complete stranger like himself.

Throughout the journey, he arranged everything perfectly, from food and clothing to daily necessities, taking care of every single need.

She looked at Zhang Wei and asked, "So what do we do next?"

Zhang Wei remained calm, gazing into the distance, and said in a steady tone, "We are very close to Taoyuan Town. We just need to walk a little further."

The two continued forward, and as they moved, the ghostly mist that swirled around them seemed to be summoned by something and slowly dissipated.

As the sunlight streamed down, the surrounding environment gradually brightened.

Green mountains and clear waters come into view, flowers, grass and trees sway gracefully, and a gentle breeze brings a refreshing fragrance. The unsettling and eerie atmosphere from before is completely gone, as if stepping from a gloomy hell into a fairyland.

Shen Ying looked up and gazed around, her eyes sparkling with amazement like the stars in the sky. She couldn't help but exclaim, "This place is so beautiful! The green hills and clear waters make me want to have a picnic here."

"A picnic?" Zhang Weina's slightly puzzled voice rang in Shen Ying's ears, like a ripple on a calm lake, instantly bringing Shen Ying back to her senses.

She realized she was in trouble; she had blurted out her true feelings.

She racked her brains, realizing that the concept of picnics didn't seem to exist in ancient times.

So she explained somewhat shyly, "It means eating here. The scenery here is picturesque, and dining here must be a unique experience."

“That’s easy!” Zhang Wei’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a warm smile like sunshine. “It just so happens to be mealtime, so let’s eat here.” With that, he began to look around.

After searching, the two found a place with a superb view.

Here, the grass is lush and green, like a soft green carpet spread across the earth. Colorful flowers bloom in competition, and a stream flows gently in the distance. The water is crystal clear and sparkles with dazzling silver light under the sunlight, like a flowing galaxy.

Zhang Wei and Shen Ying sat on the ground and took out dry food and water from their bags.

Despite the limited resources, they ate with great satisfaction.

The simple aroma of wheat from the dry rations filled my mouth, blending with the cool stream water, like a rare delicacy.

A gentle breeze caressed their hair, and the beautiful scenery around them enveloped them like a painting. At this moment, time seemed to stand still for this special "picnic," and the tense atmosphere was somewhat eased by the joy.

After finishing her meal, Shen Ying suddenly stood up, but she forgot that her legs had gone numb from sitting for too long.

Her legs went weak, and she uncontrollably lunged at Zhang Wei.

This pounce was incredible; the force was immense, knocking Zhang Wei to the ground.

Even more embarrassingly, perhaps because she pounced too hard, she actually tore open Zhang Wei's collar.

In this scene, Shen Ying looked like a female hooligan, while Zhang Wei lay there innocently, staring at each other, extremely embarrassed.
