Xu Wan took a deep breath, leaped up, and landed steadily on the shore.
The moment she landed, a warm current surged from her dantian and flowed through her meridians throughout her body.
The previously damp clothes instantly became dry and soft under the warmth.
Even the water droplets on the ends of her hair evaporated completely, leaving only a faint, refreshing fragrance.
“Miss Xu, you…”
Ling Shuo looked at her effortless movements and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Xu Wan's aura was more composed than before, clearly due to the effects of that drop of spiritual essence liquid.
Xu Wan didn't say anything more.
She opened her palm, and the golden spirit pearl, radiating a soft golden light, lay quietly in her hand.
She stepped forward and handed the Golden Spirit Pearl to Ling Shuo.
"Ling Shuo, here you go."
The voice was clear and firm, without the slightest hesitation.
Ling Shuo was startled and subconsciously took half a step back, the spiritual light of plants and trees at her fingertips slightly diminishing:
“Miss Xu, what does this mean? This Golden Spirit Pearl is formed from the essence of the Golden Spirit Grass, you…”
“This treasure was found on your territory, so it rightfully belongs to you.”
Xu Wan interrupted him, her tone sincere and firm.
"I'm just a passerby, how could I possibly steal someone else's beauty?"
"Furthermore, this spirit plant garden is the culmination of your century of hard work. Only when this golden spirit pearl is in your hands can it truly play its role in protecting this land of spiritual herbs."
Looking into Xu Wan's clear and open eyes, Ling Shuo felt a surge of warmth in his heart, yet it was also mixed with a trace of helplessness.
"Miss Xu, why are you doing this to yourself?"
"Hey!"
Ling Shuo sighed softly and shook his head.
"This Golden Spirit Pearl is formed from the essence of the Golden Spirit Grass, and only those who are in harmony with the element of metal can wield it."
"Although I am the owner of this spiritual plant garden, I am not the one destined for the Golden Spirit Grass."
"If I forcibly keep this pearl, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress its spiritual power, and it might even bring disaster upon myself."
He paused, then looked intently at Xu Wan:
“Miss Xu, you have keen senses and a pure heart. It is the will of Heaven that this Golden Spirit Pearl recognizes you as its master.”
If you insist on refusing, you will be wasting this opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Xu Wan's heart stirred.
She looked at the golden spirit bead in her hand, which shimmered with golden light as if responding to Ling Shuo's words.
"But……"
Xu Wan was still somewhat hesitant.
Suddenly, Xu Wan changed the subject and laughed:
"Thank you, Ling Shuo."
"Don't stand on ceremony with me."
Ling Shuo responded politely.
"Okay."
Xu Wan nodded, then, as if remembering something, pointed downstream.
"By the way, Jinsha was flying with Youyou earlier, are there other treasures in the garden?"
Ling Shuo looked in the direction she pointed and said gently:
"It must be the essence of the Golden Spirit Grass responding to you. Once you've rested, we'll search slowly."
"It's a deal then!"
Xu Wan's eyes lit up.
"It's settled."
Ling Shuo smiled and agreed.
Blue butterflies flitted between the two, emitting a clear buzzing sound, as if they were happy for them.
Xu Wan touched the spirit butterfly on her shoulder, then looked at Ling Shuo beside her and whispered:
"Actually, I prefer the quiet here to my baby."
hum!
The blue butterfly flew down from Xu Wan's shoulder, its body radiating a brilliant blue light.
In the blink of an eye, the light faded, and a small figure appeared in front of the two.
Lan Youyou was wearing a light blue gauze dress, the hem of which was covered with tiny golden scales.
She blinked her big blue eyes and pounced on Xu Wan's legs, hugging them tightly with both hands.
"Sister Master, Youyou is sleepy..."
"I want to go back to the bamboo house to sleep, okay?"
Xu Wan's heart softened. Looking at the exquisitely beautiful little girl in her arms, she swallowed back the words she had originally intended to say.
She bent down, gently stroked Youyou's head, and said softly:
"Alright, alright, Youyou's sleepy, let's go back to the bamboo house now."
She stood up, turned her gaze to Ling Shuo, and her eyes showed a newfound determination.
She gripped the golden spirit pearl tightly in her hand and said to Ling Shuo:
"Ling Shuo, thank you for bringing me here tonight."
"Since this Golden Spirit Pearl has already recognized me as its master, I will not refuse it."
"In the future, I will definitely use this Golden Spirit Pearl to refine some treasures and give them to you as a token of my gratitude."
Looking at Xu Wan's determined expression, Ling Shuo knew that further refusals would be useless.
He smiled gently and nodded:
"Miss Xu, you're too kind."
"It is my good fortune to have your help."
"Then it's settled."
Xu Wan smiled, and Lan Youyou nuzzled against her leg, nodding her head repeatedly, clearly very sleepy.
Upon seeing this, Xu Wan immediately picked up Lan Youyou.
"That's right!"
Xu Wan suddenly spoke.
"Jin Lingzhu said there's a secret realm in the garden. Shall we go check it out together tomorrow?"
"Okay, I'll accompany you."
Ling Shuo readily agreed.
"Then let's go first thing tomorrow morning!"
Xu Wan's tone was full of anticipation.
"Not urgent."
Ling Shuo reminded him gently.
"You and Youyou should rest and recover first."
Xu Wan smiled knowingly:
"Ling Shuo, it seems you really like Youyou!"
"Dianthus and butterflies, a perfect match!"
"When Youyou grows up, why don't you just marry her!"
"Miss Xu...you're joking."
"cough!"
Ling Shuo coughed lightly.
Trying to maintain the usual composure.
His gaze, however, involuntarily drifted toward Lan Youyou, who was dozing off on Xu Wan's shoulder.
“Youyou, she…she…”
Seeing his expression, Xu Wan's smile deepened.
Holding Youyou in her arms, she slowly walked up to Ling Shuo, deliberately lowering her voice and speaking mysteriously:
"Ling Shuo, don't think I didn't see it."
"When she flew over just now, the light from your fingertips quietly protected her all the way."
Ling Shuo opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
At this moment.
He was already somewhat overwhelmed by Xu Wan's teasing, so he turned around, pretending to adjust his cuffs, but couldn't hide the slight upturn of his lips:
“Miss Xu, if you continue to make fun of me like this, I won’t accompany you to the secret realm tomorrow.”
"Oh no, no, no!"
Xu Wan quickly waved her hand, a sly glint in her eyes.
"I was wrong, Senior Ling Shuo, please forgive my mistake!"
"Besides, without you, the master of the garden, to lead the way, how would I find the entrance to the secret realm?"
She paused, then leaned closer and lowered her voice to say:
"However, I do think that your carnations and butterflies are a perfect match!"
"Yes, a match made in heaven, a perfect match, a perfect match, let's get together..."
Ling Shuo turned around, looked at Xu Wan's smiling eyes, shook his head helplessly, but his eyes were full of doting affection:
"You're just talking nonsense."
"Youyou...she's just a child, and I'm just..."
"It's just that I like her!"
Xu Wan interrupted, her shoulders trembling slightly with laughter.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."
"But Ling Shuo, you look so cute when you're shy!"
“Miss Xu, it’s late. Let’s go back to the bamboo house soon.”
“Youyou…is indeed sleepy.”
Xu Wan looked at Lan Youyou in her arms.
The little girl is completely asleep.
The little head bobbed up and down, with a glistening drool hanging from the corner of its mouth.
Her heart softened, and she said softly:
"Okay, let's go back to the bamboo house."
