Chapter 125 Finding the Snow Lotus of Tianshan
“Found it!” Dongfang Wan’er shouted excitedly. Her voice echoed through the valley, as if to awaken the whole world. Her eyes were filled with excitement and joy, as if she had already seen the dawn of hope.
She pointed to a rock not far away, on which grew a snow lotus as white as snow. The snow lotus, as pure as a fairy, stood there quietly, exuding a sacred and enchanting aura.
Dongfang Wan'er rushed over, afraid it would suddenly disappear. She carefully observed the Tianshan Snow Lotus, her eyes filled with amazement. She discovered that this snow lotus was crystal clear, its petals as soft as silk, emitting a faint fragrance that was intoxicating.
"Wan'er, be careful!" Ye Jiuchen quickly followed, worried that she might get hurt due to her excitement. His eyes were fixed on Dongfang Wan'er, and he silently prayed that everything would go smoothly.
Dongfang Wan'er carefully reached out and gently touched the Tianshan snow lotus. She felt its warmth, as if she had become one with nature. At this moment, she forgot all her troubles and fatigue, leaving only awe and gratitude for life.
"That's wonderful! We've finally found the Tianshan Snow Lotus!" Dongfang Wan'er was overjoyed, tears welling up in her eyes. She knew this meant her mother's poison could be cured, and her uncle's leg could also recover.
She carefully plucked the Tian Shan snow lotus and placed it in the jade box she carried with her. Her movements were gentle and cautious, as if handling a rare treasure. The fragrance of the Tian Shan snow lotus filled the air, refreshing and delightful.
Then, she turned to look at Ye Jiuchen, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. Ye Jiuchen felt her gaze and smiled gently.
Ye Jiuchen glanced at Dongfang Wan'er and said softly, "Thank you, Wan'er. Without you, I don't know how long it would have taken to find the Heavenly Snow Lotus."
Dongfang Wan'er smiled slightly and said gently, "No need to thank me. I was originally looking for the Tianshan Snow Lotus to cure my mother's poison, and I'll cure yours while I'm at it."
Ye Jiuchen: That hurts. I wish I hadn't said those last few words...
"Let's go down the mountain..." Dongfang Wan'er was in a good mood after finding the Tianshan Snow Lotus, her face beaming with a smile, as if she had become lighter.
"Master, you're back. This white tiger..." The guards asked, their eyes fixed on the huge white tiger as they saw Ye Jiuchen and the others return.
"Take him away!" Ye Jiuchen ordered.
"Yes!" The four members of the secret guard team immediately stepped forward, carefully lifted the white tiger, and slowly walked down the mountain.
Going up the mountain was difficult, but going down was quick. Before long, the group reached the bottom of the mountain.
"Wan'er, it's not dawn yet, rest in the carriage for a while..." Ye Jiuchen looked at Dongfang Wan'er, his eyes filled with heartache.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep..." Dongfang Wan'er nodded, climbed into the carriage, crawled into the compartment, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Qiuqin followed her into the carriage and stood guard by her side.
Ye Jiuchen boarded the carriage, but simply sat quietly outside, unwilling to go in and disturb Dongfang Wan'er's sweet dream.
Driving the carriage through the darkness, they continued their journey.
The secret guards somehow acquired a sturdy cage, locked the white tiger in it, and placed it behind the carriage.
The group embarked on their journey home, gradually disappearing into the distance.
Dongfang Wan'er was fast asleep when she felt a sliver of light shining through the carriage curtain into the carriage, at which point she slowly woke up.
"Hmm...it's dawn...?" She rubbed her eyes, saw the bright light coming in through the carriage curtain, and felt a surge of joy.
She had finally arrived! The bumpy journey had left her exhausted, but now she felt it was all worth it.
"Miss, you're awake. You must be exhausted..." Qiuqin asked with concern, while stepping forward to massage Dongfang Wan'er's neck and shoulders, trying to relieve her fatigue.
"It was quite tiring... but finding the Tianshan Snow Lotus made it all worthwhile..." Dongfang Wan'er replied with a smile. Although her body ached a little, she was in a good mood.
"Wan'er, are you awake...? We've arrived at the inn, let's go get something to eat..." Ye Jiuchen asked softly upon hearing the commotion inside the carriage. He knew that Dongfang Wan'er was probably hungry and needed to rest.
“Okay…” Dongfang Wan’er replied.
Qiuqin carefully helped Dongfang Wan'er up and slowly stepped out of the carriage. Despite the journey of the night, Dongfang Wan'er maintained her elegant demeanor. She was still the same as before, wearing a veil that concealed her stunningly beautiful face.
The innkeeper greeted them warmly: "Sirs, are you here for a meal or to stay the night...?"
"Just grab a bite..." Dongfang Wan'er replied succinctly.
"Alright, sir, please come in..." The waiter warmly greeted Dongfang Wan'er and the others as they entered the inn.
"What would you like to eat, sir?" the waiter asked solicitously.
"Bring out the most expensive wines and dishes..." Dongfang Wan'er recalled a scene from a TV series and found the request amusing, so she imitated it.
As soon as Dongfang Wan'er said this, everyone in the shop turned their heads and looked them up and down, as if trying to see right through them.
Dongfang Wan'er noticed the gazes of these people and felt a little displeased, but she didn't show it. She frowned slightly, then continued to drink her tea as if nothing had happened.
An Ye slammed the sword down on the table, making a crisp sound. The sound startled everyone present, especially those who had been staring at them; they all lowered their heads, no longer daring to look directly at them.
"Okay... sir... please wait a moment..." The waiter was also very perceptive. Seeing this, he quickly left, afraid of causing any trouble.
Just then, a boastful voice came from the doorway: "Hey, this big tiger is pretty good. Whose is it? I'll buy it..."
As soon as the sound came, the members of the secret guard reacted quickly. Without hesitation, they drew their swords and stood in unison in front of the newcomer, blocking his view.
"Run! Run!" Upon hearing this, the customers in the store realized that something was wrong and fled in panic.
The burly man who had just entered seemed very pleased with the scene. He laughed triumphantly, his laughter echoing throughout the inn.
"Hahahahahaha..." A burst of unrestrained laughter rang out, and a burly man with a face full of scars strode into the inn. Behind him followed a group of henchmen, each of them exuding a menacing aura that instilled fear in those around them.
"Hey, why aren't you running away? Don't you know how powerful I am? Judging from your appearance, you must be from out of town. You've never even heard of me?" the man said arrogantly.
"You're crazy, you're disturbing my meal..." Dongfang Wan'er was already starving, but she never expected to encounter such a strange person. She glared fiercely at this so-called "Tiger Lord" and cursed him inwardly.
