Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

On a bright and refreshing morning, tiny clouds rippled across the clear, light blue sky, while the warm sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, creating dappled golden spots.

Shi Wanxia rubbed her eyes and got up, searching around for a long time without finding Shen Yanchu: "Where is he? He's here so early."

She got up, packed the quilt and cloak into her backpack. After finishing, Shen Yanchu came over from the river with a fish in his hand. Shi Wanxia immediately got up, took the fish, and began to clean and prepare it, intending to roast it, since it wasn't really appropriate to eat grilled fish so early in the morning.

"Brother Shen, you're up so early!" Shi Wanxia cleaned the fish, rinsed it with water, and put it in a pot with some perilla leaves to stew.

Looking at the lively and nimble girl, Shen Yanchu recalled last night and a blush appeared on his face. However, his face was covered with scars, so Shi Wanxia did not see it. She simply nodded and sat down on the straw mat.

Soon, a faint aroma wafted from the pot. Shi Wanxia picked out the fish bones and fish bones, and put in a pack of biscuits. These biscuits had to be eaten sparingly, otherwise there would be no staple food left.

Shi Wanxia carefully helped Shen Yanchu walk on the ground covered with the thick roots of tall trees. The surrounding environment was full of vitality and mystery, with various animals appearing from time to time.

Sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows that fell upon them. Shi Wanxia's gaze swept warily around them, as if afraid some danger might suddenly appear. Shen Yanchu, on the other hand, appeared somewhat weak, leaning on Shi Wanxia, ​​his steps slightly unsteady.

Their footsteps were exceptionally clear in the silent forest, accompanied by the occasional birdsong and animal calls, giving one a sense of the tranquility and harmony of nature.

Suddenly, a little squirrel darted past them, quickly climbed a large tree, and disappeared into the dense foliage. Shi Wanxia and Shen Yanchu couldn't help but exchange a smile; this little incident added a touch of fun to their journey.

Continuing on their way, they encountered another brightly colored butterfly, fluttering among the flowers. Shi Wanxia stopped, quietly admiring the beautiful scene, her heart filled with awe and love for nature.

In this vibrant forest, Shi Wanxia and Shen Yanchu support each other as they explore the unknown world. Their figures gradually fade into the distance, disappearing into the embrace of nature.

As they walked until noon, the sky was filled with dense branches and leaves, with leaves occasionally falling in the wind. The vast, silent forest was both mysterious and dangerous. Shi Wanxia helped Shen Yanchu rest under a large tree; they had been walking all morning and were both too tired to move.

Shen Yanchu closed her eyes and meditated to regulate her breathing. She took out water and dried meat. Autumn has come, and the ground is covered with withered branches and fallen leaves. The wind is also quite strong. In this kind of environment, Shi Wanxia dares not light a fire. If she accidentally starts a forest fire, it will not only harm the forest, but the two of us will also be unable to escape. We must be careful.

"Brother Shen, please make do with this for lunch! This forest is too dry, so it's best not to light a fire for safety reasons."

Shen Yanchu took the dried meat and water, glanced at her, and thought that this girl was quite thoughtful. After they finished eating and rested for a while, they continued on their way, since the forest was too big.

"Brother Shen, watch your step and walk slowly. I'll go ahead and scout the way, and maybe find some wild vegetables or something."

Shen Yanchu watched the woman hurrying through the woods, carrying a basket and looking around. She picked wild vegetables and fruits along the way. Wasn't this girl afraid of snakes?

If that particular herb is truly unavailable, we'll have to find a substitute. This mountain range is so vast; we really don't know where to begin searching, we can only rely on luck.

In the silent forest, the two walked silently, only their footsteps and breathing breaking the tranquility. As time passed and the light gradually dimmed, they knew it was time to find a suitable place to camp.

After searching for a while, they finally found a relatively flat spot not far from the river. The wind was picking up, so they quickly set up their tent to protect themselves from the cold night and possible wind and rain.

After setting up their tents, they sat in front of them, quietly listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the trees and feeling the tranquility of nature.

The river flowed nearby, making a murmuring sound, as if telling ancient stories. Countless stars twinkled in the sky, like glittering jewels set against the black canvas.

Shen Yanchu sat by the campfire, adding firewood every now and then. This girl has quite a few strange things about her!

As night fell, Shen Yanchu and Shi Wanxia sat by the campfire. Shen Yanchu looked up at the sky, where countless stars twinkled, like dazzling gems set against the black canvas of the heavens.

His eyes revealed a sense of tranquility and serenity, as if he were pondering something.

Shi Wanxia was busy on the side. She washed the wild vegetables and the pheasant that Shen Yanchu had hunted on the road, and then roasted them over a fire.

Flames licked at the chicken, sizzling and releasing an enticing aroma. Shi Wanxia skillfully flipped the chicken, ensuring it was heated evenly and roasted to a golden brown and crispy perfection.

Bathed in the firelight, Shi Wanxia's face appeared exceptionally beautiful. Her gaze was focused and earnest, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a hint of satisfaction and joy. Her long hair flowed in the wind, intertwining with the firelight to create a beautiful scene.

Shen Yanchu turned his head and looked at Shi Wanxia's busy figure, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. Shi Wanxia handed him the roasted pheasant. Shi Wanxia couldn't wait and opened her mouth to take a bite, but she was burned; "Ouch, it's so hot..." Shen Yanchu glanced at her, both amused and exasperated. This girl was still so impatient.

"Eat slowly, I won't argue with you. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Shi Wanxia rolled her eyes at him but didn't say anything more. She couldn't possibly eat like him. After finishing her meal, Shi Wanxia fetched water to wash the pot, added some firewood, boiled water, quickly washed herself, ignored Shen Yanchu, went into the tent, and fell asleep immediately.

The main problem was that the constant travel had been exhausting. After washing up, Shen Yanchu hesitated for a long time before finally entering the tent. The girl was already asleep, and Shen Yanchu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was utterly exhausted after a long day of travel, and the thought of sharing a bed with this girl for the next few days felt strange to him. He sighed deeply and finally lay down under the covers.

Shen Yanchu lay there, unable to fall asleep for a long time. The girl beside him breathed softly and evenly in the quiet night. Fortunately, she was sleeping better today. He gazed at the dark night.

His thoughts drifted back to the past. Back then, he led his soldiers to guard the border. During those difficult days, in order to dispel the emperor's suspicions, he also led troops on expeditions, far away from the corrupt and chaotic court.

However, after several battles, the emperor began to worry that he was becoming too powerful with his military strength, and suddenly issued an edict ordering him to return to the capital. He had barely arrived in the capital and before he could even assume his post when he was assassinated, implicating his master and senior brother in the attack. Shen Yanchu was also very worried about his master and senior brother's situation; he hoped they would be safe after his sudden disappearance.

His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, so he simply fell asleep peacefully. The moon hung high, fireflies danced, and the silent forest appeared even more dangerous and mysterious under the moonlight.
