Chapter: 5773

At this time, Wu Feiyan wiped away her tears, opened an old wine jar, poured the wine onto the burning yellow paper, and whispered softly: "Brother Hupo, over the past 300 years or so, I have personally witnessed the rapid development of this world. The more it develops like this, the less I want to die;"

"But if I can't find the Hundred-year Elixir or the method to refine it, then I will only have a hundred years left to live!"

"And Brother's only daughter Waner has been hiding from me for over 300 years. Actually, I have no malice towards her. As long as she is willing to give me that ring, I won't make any trouble for her. But if she continues to hide and evade, my patience will gradually run out, and who knows what I might do that would displease Brother in the future?"

As she finished speaking, Wu Feiyan paused for a moment and said, "Ah, right! I'm planning to go to the Ten-Thousand-Mountain Range soon, see if I can find the secret treasure left behind by my master. If I can find it, I won't bother Wan'er at all; but if I can't find it, I'll have to rely on Wan'er's help..."

After pouring out the wine from the jar and muttering softly, Wu Feiyan slowly got up, took a few steps back into the forest, and departed without looking back at the group of young people lamenting the dawn.

She didn't even think about that Lin Wan'er who had been eluding her for over 300 years; this time, she was among those young people...

Without noticing any abnormalities, Wu Feiyan left after which Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er finally let out a sigh of relief.

After burning the midnight oil all night, everyone felt exhausted and some even couldn't keep their eyes open.

Some people gradually got up to pack up their tents for rest, while Hu Lüqi also couldn't take it anymore and opened his mouth to say to Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er: "I haven't stayed up late in a long time; my body is really tired. You two must be exhausted too; why don't you go back to your tent and take a nap? We'll set out for the second gorge, 15 kilometers away, at lunchtime. Do you want to come along?"

Ye Chen shook his head: "We two won't be going; we're planning to take a car and go exploring around again."

Lin Wan'er asked curiously: "Where are you two headed?"

Ye Chen replied casually: "We're planning to go play around at Li River for a few days."

In fact, Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er's next stop was the southwestern edge of Dian South, and Ye Chen said Li River mainly to avoid risks.

Hu Lüqi nodded and laughed: "We've been to Li River before; it's pretty good. You two can go have fun for a few days."

As he spoke, Hu Lüqi suddenly thought of something and asked hastily: "You two aren't planning to leave now, are you?"

Ye Chen said: "That's right, we're leaving now."

"This...," Hu Lüqi quickly added: "After not sleeping all night, it's not safe to drive. You two should rest first and get some energy before continuing on."

"No way." Ye Chen smiled and said: "The itinerary afterwards is a bit tight, so we won't be resting here. We'll wait until we reach Li River and take our time resting then. After all, the journey isn't too far either."

Hu Lüqi nodded: "It's also only about an hour's drive from there; once we arrive, we can check into a hotel and rest well."

"It's really going to be a trip, Lin Wanjier said with regret: 'I thought I could spend more time with you guys for a few days, but I didn't expect you'd leave so soon. I don't know if there'll be another chance to meet in the future.'"

For her, it was hard to predict when her life would reach its end, but she knew this day wouldn't come too soon.

So, facing this new friend who could chat with her, she still felt a bit reluctant, thinking that life is short and this parting might be forever.

Hu Leqi understood what was on her mind and gently wrapped his arm around her waist, comforting her with a smile: "Don't overthink it, heaven will take care of us."

Lin Wanjier looked sideways at Ye Chen, her lips slightly pursed, but said nothing as she gazed at him.

Although Lin Wanjier didn't speak up, Ye Chen also knew what she was thinking at this moment. JrNovels.com
