Misty Forest, the largest forest in the westernmost part of Yu State, occupies the entire west side.

  Through the Forest of Dreams, you can enter the border of B Country. Legend has it that the other boundless edge of the Forest of Dreams is the boundary of Linchuan...

  "Mu Shidi, what are you looking at?" Zhao Nanxing suddenly found the silence behind him and turned around to see Mu Qingge staring blankly at a certain place.

  In front of Mu Qingge, there was a thick fog that wrapped around the forest, blocking the way and making it even more mysterious. When Zhao Nanxing asked her, she slowly withdrew her gaze and said to him, "Nothing."

  "Hurry up, don't get lost." Zhao Nanxing urged without suspecting anything.

  Mu Qing followed closely behind Zhao Nanxing, her head slightly bowed.

  In front of them, three figures had already become blurred.

  The two of them exchanged a glance and quickened their pace in unison, hurrying towards the three people.

  After a while, when the figure in front became clear again, Mu Qingge asked Zhao Nanxing: "Zhao Shixiong, I heard that the Dream Forest can reach the border of Linchuan Continent?"

  Zhao Nanxing smiled and said, "You've also heard this legend?"

  Mo Qingge nodded slightly.

  Zhao Nanxing's eyes locked onto the three people in front of him, and he replied, "In the ancient tomes of our Yu Kingdom's imperial lineage, it is indeed mentioned that one edge of the Mystic Dream Forest borders the Linchuan Continent. However, for thousands of years, no one has ever reached it. Perhaps someone did find it, but they never reappeared before people's eyes."

  "How mysterious?" Mu Qingge furrowed her brow.

  Zhao Nanxing nodded, scanning the surroundings in a circle, and said to Mu Qingge: "You see, this Misty Dream Forest is called that because it's always shrouded in fog. This fog can easily make you lose your way, and if you inhale too much of it, you'll even hallucinate. Before the Medicine Tower Branch was established here, people would get lost every year. After the branch was founded and we negotiated with the imperial family to include the Misty Dream Forest within its boundaries, the number of missing persons decreased. However, even when disciples from the Medicine Tower come in to gather herbs, they won't venture too deep, and they all have to take the Breaking Obstacle Pill that we took earlier to avoid getting trapped in illusions. This trial is really unprecedented, going all the way to Moon Lake."

  Zhao Nanxing finished speaking and gave a cold laugh.

  Mo Qing listened quietly and suddenly asked: "If there really is a boundary, what lies beyond it?"

  This sentence seems to be asking Zhao Nanxing, but also seems to be self-inquiring.

  Zhao Nanxing turned his head to look at her and said, "If one day my cultivation reaches the Purple Realm, I also want to go out of Linchuan to take a look. However, I will absolutely not choose the Maze Forest, but instead choose either the Bitter Sea of Gu Wu Country or the Wandering Soul Desert of Di Country."

  Mo Qing's eyes flashed, and she fell silent.

  Two places mentioned by Zhao Nanxing, she had both seen them in Linchuan Dazhi.

  Beyond Linchuan, there is a much broader world, which is not a secret. It's just that too few people can walk out, and it gradually becomes a legend.

  According to Linchuan Dazhi, there are two roads that can be chosen if one wants to leave Linchuan.

  There is a sea route, the ancient Wu State at the southernmost tip of the mainland, mysterious and closed. In the south of that country, there is a boundless sea called the Bitter Sea. It is said that if one can cross the Bitter Sea, they can reach another continent.

  However, the sea of bitterness is boundless and endless. How much time it will take to walk out, what dangers are hidden in the ocean, no one knows.

  Another one is the second-class national Di Guo at the northernmost end of Linchuan, and to its north, there is a vast desert that is boundless.

  Some say that desert is even larger than the mainland of Linchuan and very dangerous.

  Some people also say that as long as you can pass through that desert of wandering spirits, you can enter another world.

  Zhao Nanxing's words, Mu Qingge you can understand.

  Because these two roads are the most detailed methods of leaving Linchuan recorded in history, if she were to choose, she would also choose one of the two and would not choose those vague roads recorded in legend.

  "Doesn't Brother Zhao want to inherit the throne?" Mu Qingge asked curiously.

  Zhao Nanxing smiled: "I know I'm not the material for being an emperor. Rather than being busy with national affairs every day and making many reluctant decisions for the country, I'd rather live a carefree life and spend my days like a cloud drifting freely."

  His answer made Mu Qingge laugh: "I know two princes who don't want to be emperors, and Zhao is one of them."

  "Oh? And who is this person? Actually having the same insight as me, it's really worth meeting." Zhao Nanxing said curiously.

  Mo Qingyu didn't say much more, and just vaguely said: "There will be a chance."

  Zhao Nanxing didn't ask further, and with a sigh of emotion said: "Learning alchemy is also for the sake of having a meal to eat when traveling in the future. If junior brother wants to leave Linchuan one day, don't hesitate to call on foolish older brother." After finishing speaking, he winked at Mu Qingge.

  Mu Qingge smiled and joked, "Does Zhao Shixiong let go of Shang Shijie?"

  Zhao Nanxing's face turned slightly red, but he said calmly: "Everyone can see my feelings for Zi Su, except for her who seems to be unaware. Never mind, when it comes to love, what matters is mutual affection; if she doesn't have me in her heart, why should I force it?"

  "What are you talking about? Hurry up." Suddenly, Mei Zizhong in front turned around and shouted at the two.

  Zhao Nanxing and Mu Qingge exchanged a smile, with the former saying, "He's here."

  When the two caught up with the three, Zhao Nanxing said to Mei Zizhong: "I made an agreement with Mu Shidi that if one day he wants to leave Linchuan, he will call me." After finishing speaking, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept over Shang Zisu.

  However, the beauty remained unmoved, leaving him somewhat disappointed.

  Mei Zizhong smiled shallowly, his ethereal figure like a banished immortal. He looked at Mu Qingge and asked: "Does Brother Mu have such a great wish?"

  Mù Qīng Gē nodded: "The world is so big, I want to go and take a look."

  Mei Zi's smile grew even more, he suddenly said seriously: "If there is that day, Mu Shidi can also call me up."

  Mu Qingge was taken aback, somewhat astonished.

  If she didn't remember wrong, Mei Zizhong should have grown up in the Medicine Tower since childhood and never left. Following this development trajectory, he should have inherited his master's mantle and stayed in the Medicine Tower.

  Could it be... he also has a gloomy heart?

  "What's wrong, does my junior brother think I shouldn't go out?" Mei Zizhong said calmly, as if sensing Mu Qingge's surprise.

  "No! How could it be!" Mu Qingge sneered.

  "You all plan to leave Linchuan together, why don't I join you too?" Zhu Ling suddenly said.

  As soon as she said this, Mei Zizhong and Zhao Nanxing immediately looked at her with surprise, the former even subconsciously frowned.

  However, Zhu Ling seemed unaware of it and asked Shang Zisu: "And you, Zisu?"

  Shang Zi Su's eyes swept over several people with a faint glimmer, like ice and snow, only lingering on Mu Qing Ge for a moment before responding briefly: "Good."

  Her answer was most surprising to Zhao Nanxing.

  Because this means that even if he leaves the Medicine Tower, he can still be with the goddess in his dreams.

  Thinking of the beautiful scenery in the future, Zhao Nanxing smiled brightly at Mu Qingge. "Younger brother, my happiness is all thanks to your efforts."

  What's going on here?

  Mu Qing's mouth twitched, "If you want to leave Linchuan, we must work together."

  "Right, right, right! Let's work together!" Zhao Nanxing said with a smile.

  A few people share a smile, and an agreement is hidden in their hearts.

  The conversation ended and the five of them continued walking inwards.

  Mei Zi Zhong took out a palm-sized instrument and said to the crowd, "According to the direction indicator, we need to go to Yue Hu. We should head in that direction." He pointed towards the front right.

  Zhao Nanxing walked over, looked down at the direction indicator and said uncertainly, "Can this direction indicator be trusted? I remember that a disciple who came in to practice once said that the direction indicator was malfunctioning when he left."

  "Can we believe it? For now, we can only rely on it." said Mei Zizhong.

  "Let's head in first," Mu Qing said with a slight tilt of her chin. "We're not the only ones going to Moon Lake, let's see if we can run into others on the road and figure out if our direction is wrong."

  Several people nodded and walked towards the inner room together.

  In the forest of dreams and illusions, although there are layers of fog, it is not damp at all, nor is it dark and humid.

  This gives people the feeling of being in a gigantic maze.

  "Everyone be careful and pay attention to whether there are any spiritual beasts lurking around. If you encounter some precious medicinal materials, don't miss them." Mei Zizhong said to the crowd.

  The five of them walked in an arrowhead formation, with Mei Zichong at the front. Mu Qingge and Zhao Nanxing brought up the rear on either side, while the two women were protected in the middle.

  The forest of dreams is very quiet, and there seem to be few animals.

  However, everyone remained vigilant. Because Lou Chuanbai had said that he once met the Ling Beast of Blue Boundary in the Forest of Dreams.

  It can be seen that although there are not many spiritual beasts in the Forest of Dreams, they are also very powerful.

  "There's movement on the right!" Mu Qing Ge suddenly stopped in her tracks, her ears perked up.

  The four of them immediately stopped and quickly gathered into a circle, covering each other. This untrained yet surprisingly harmonious cooperation was indeed astonishing.

  Suddenly, a white shadow, like lightning, struck them.

  It was so fast it was almost invisible, appearing right before your eyes in an instant from a distance.

  Except for Mu Qing's song, the eyes of the four people suddenly narrowed, and their faces changed. When the white shadow rushed in front of them, it suddenly charged towards Shang Zisu.

  Shang Zi Su subconsciously took a step back, his hand with the green awn already prepared to strike.

  Zhao Nanxing's hand flashed with a green light and was about to grab towards the white shadow.

  Zhu Ling's body shone with dazzling yellow light, while Mei Zi Zhong's body burst forth with a faint cyan aura.

  "Squeak!"

  Just as everyone was preparing for battle, White Shadow suddenly stopped and let out a mournful cry.

  At this time, its appearance also clearly appeared in front of everyone.

  "Squeak! Squeak!"

  A pure white, idle fox-like animal was grasped by the neck by Mu Qingge's hand, its four limbs kicking wildly, its red gemstone-like eyes glaring fiercely at Mu Qingge with a menacing glow.

  "What is this?" Zhu Ling asked in surprise.

  However, others pay more attention to Mu Qing's speed.

  She is even faster than this animal.

  "Snow Fox." Mu Qing Ge said calmly.

  "Is this the Snow Fox? The legendary spirit fox that's as swift as lightning and has the ability to bewilder?" Zhao Nanxing blinked his eyes, carefully observing the snow fox held in Mu Qingge's hand.

  Mei Zi Zhong's eyes also fell on the Snow Fox, and he said lightly: "The Snow Fox was born as a Yellow Boundary Spirit Beast, and as it grows, it can grow into a Purple Boundary Spirit Beast."

  "How cool! And so cute!" Zhu Ling looked at the snow fox, and her girly heart was instantly captivated by this little thing.

  "Shang Zisu, this snow fox suddenly turned towards you, it seems that your aura is more to its liking. Why don't you take it as a spiritual pet? If you cultivate it well, it might become a great help in the future."

  Upon hearing Mu Qing's words, Zhu Ling looked at Shang Zi Su with great envy and said: "Zi Su, you might as well take this little thing in, it's hard for Mu to think of everything for you." As she spoke, she gave Zhao Nan Xing a provocative glance.

  The latter said with a smile: "It's only natural for Brother Miao to be filial to his sister. This snow fox is indeed more suitable for a woman to raise, so you can take it, Zi Su."

  Plum's mouth corner was slightly raised with a faint smile, although she didn't say anything, but the meaning was also very clear.

  But Shang Zisu shook her head and refused: "I don't need it."

  Her choice surprised everyone.

  "Zhu Ling asked: "Why? Don't you like it?"

  Shang Zisu bit her lip and said softly: "I like it. But its eyes are too fierce. I don't want to raise a fox as a calamity."

  Her words made everyone look at Snow Fox.

  The snow fox seemed to understand human language, revealing a pitiful gaze, but only when looking at Mu Qing Ge, in the pitiful pleading eyes hid a hint of ferocity.

  Several people are not fools and naturally see this point, and they all fall silent at once.

  Shang Zisu said: "I am not a Tian Tong Master, nor do I know how to tame the spiritual beast. It's better not to have it at all."

  Zhu Ling thought for a moment and said: "I think it has already remembered the hatred of Master's younger brother, in order to avoid future troubles, why not just kill it."

  "Hiss——! Hsssss——!" The snow fox suddenly glared at Zhu Lian with a ferocious gaze, baring its sharp teeth.

  Zhu Ling took a step back, shaking her head and saying: "Purple Su is right, this is a spiritual beast, we can't easily tame it. If we don't handle it carefully, I'm afraid we'll suffer its revenge."

  She looked at Mu Qingge after she finished speaking.

  The other three also looked at Mu Qingge.

  Mù Qīng Gē lowered her gaze to look at the snow fox in her hand, which was no longer hiding itself and revealed a strong hatred towards Mù Qīng Gē.

  "Mo Qing sang said: 'I just self-defense hold you, you little thing so hate me. It seems, really can't keep you.'"

  As soon as the voice fell, a hint of panic flashed in the snow fox's eyes, and it chirped and begged for mercy.

  Mù Qīng Gē shook her head and said, "Foxes are naturally cunning. If I let you go, I'm afraid you'll take revenge on me. It's fine on a normal day, but in this Maze of Dreams, I don't have time to entangle with you."

  As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Qing's five fingers suddenly tightened and pinched the snow fox's neck to death.

  Remove the beast core from the Snow Fox's body and throw it on the ground. Mu Qing Ge said to the four people, "Let's go."

  The four of them nodded and walked past the snow fox's corpse.

  In an instant, the five of them vanished into thin air, their figures shrouded by a thick fog. No one noticed that deep within the fog, there was a pair of blood-red and icy eyes filled with hatred, staring fixedly at the place they had left.

  A white mist floated away from the Snow Fox's body. When the mist dispersed, where was the Snow Fox's corpse?

  ……

  That night, Wu Qing and his four companions found an abandoned mountain cave as a place to rest.

  The cave is not large, but it can accommodate five people with ease.

  In the middle of the cave, a bonfire was burning.

  Five people sat around the bonfire, each with their legs crossed in meditation, using cultivation as a substitute for rest.

  The flames illuminated the five people, flickering bright and dim, enveloping the entire cave. The appearance of the five was extremely outstanding, each with their own unique charm. If an ordinary person were to accidentally stumble upon this place, they would probably think they had entered a divine realm.

  A wisp of white fog quietly slipped into the mountain cave, passing between several people and gathering around Mu Qing's body.

  Gradually, the white fog formed a huge cocoon with a few parts transparent, wrapping Mu Qingge inside. Suddenly, the cocoon transformed into fine threads that drilled into Mu Qingge's body.

  Mu Qing's body suddenly paused while meditating, her eyebrows furrowed slightly before returning to calmness.

  However, if one observes carefully, they will discover that her hand seal has already loosened slightly...

  What is this place!

  Moyin Ge seemed to be in a world of white fog, with thick white fog all around.

  She waved her hands hard to dispel the white mist, but it was of no avail.

  She exerted her spiritual power, but found that the spiritual power of Blue Boundary Peak seemed to have vanished.

  At this time, she found that the dense white fog around her gradually dissipated, and her vision also became clear.

  "Ready, aim, fire!"

  The familiar training voice echoed in his ears.

  Mu Qing's entire body was as if struck by lightning.

  The white fog dispersed. When Mu Qing saw the scene in front of her clearly, she was stunned on the spot, and her eyes were filled with incredulity.

  All around were neatly arranged square formations.

  Those soldiers in training were wearing the dark green camouflage uniforms that she was familiar with.

  This training ground is her memory of over a decade, familiar to the point where she can't be more familiar, and even remembers every single blade of grass on the field.

  "Long Ya, what are you doing standing here? Haven't you returned to the team to start today's basic training?" Suddenly, a severe shout came from behind.

  Mu Qingge suddenly turned around and saw the person walking towards her, shocked and exclaimed: "Instructor!"

  This was her instructor when she had just enlisted and was selected into the special forces. At that time, the country had not yet established a specialized department for special abilities, so she was scattered among the special forces with other comrades who had heterodox powers to receive training.

  Mu Qingge lowered her head to look at her own body and found that she was wearing a camouflage training suit. This clothing was familiar to her, but why did it appear?

  "Not returning to the team yet! Do you want to be punished? Don't think that just because you have special abilities, you can be different from others." The instructor's severe rebuke came over.

  Mocheng Ge walked towards the training team in a daze, with confusion and incomprehension, carrying out the extremely familiar training.

  ……

  The night slipped away quietly.

  In the early morning, the bonfire in the mountain cave had already gone out. The sunlight poured in through the entrance of the cave, dispelling the darkness inside.

  Mei Zi Zhong was the first to finish his cultivation and wake up. His calm eyes slowly swept over the faces of the four people, finally stopping on Mu Qing Ge's face.

  He stared blankly at Mu Qing's appearance, as if attracted by her stunning beauty.

  The second one to wake up was Zhao Nanxing, who stretched his waist as soon as he woke up.

  This movement startled Mei Zi Zhong. He lowered his eyelids, and the long eyelashes blocked the panic at the bottom of his eyes.

  After hiding his emotions well, he looked at Zhao Nanxing and said, "Younger brother, you're awake."

  Zhao Nanxing smiled and said: "Good morning, Shixiong!"

  As they spoke, Shang Zisu and Zhu Ling almost simultaneously opened their eyes.

  The eyes of the four people met, and finally they all cast their gaze on Mu Qingge, who still had her eyes closed.

  "Mu Shidi, why are you still cultivating?" Zhao Nanxing stood up and walked towards Mu Qingge.

  "Please don't disturb Brother Miao's cultivation."

  At this time, Shang Zisu suddenly grasped Mu Qingge's hand and found something wrong: "Why is the handprint that Mu Shidi pinched out during his cultivation open?"

  Her words immediately caught the attention of the three people.

  Mei Zi Zhong and Zhu Ling also walked over, and the four of them stood around Mu Qing Ge.

  Feeling Mu Qing's gentle and even breathing, it seemed as if nothing was wrong.

  Zhao Nanxing furrowed his brow and said, "Could it be that Miao Shixiong fell asleep during his cultivation?"

  Shang Zisu slowly shook her head: "Even if she really fell asleep, she should wake up at this time."

  "There's something wrong indeed." Zhu Ling said thoughtfully. "Even if he was asleep, with us surrounding him like this and having this conversation, he should have been startled awake by now."

  "Is he ill?" Zhao Nanxing asked again.

  As he spoke, he looked at Mei Zizhong.

  Mei Zi Zhong walked forward and squatted beside Mu Qing Ge, softly calling out: "Mu Shidi, Mu Shidi, wake up."

  But Mu Qing Ge was as still as a statue, without any reaction at all.

  "Senior brother, why don't you take Shu's pulse for him?" suggested Shang Zisu.

  Plum nodded, turned Mu Qing's hand over and placed it properly, with two fingers on her pulse...

  He suddenly loosened his grip, and his eyes couldn't hide a shocked expression.

  That emotion shattered his previous calmness, as if his world had suffered a huge impact.

  "Big brother, what's wrong? Is Mo Shidi's pulse really that strange?" Zhao Nanxing looked at Mei Zizhong in a daze and stretched out his hand to take Mo Qingge's pulse.

  But before he could touch Mu Qing's wrist, his hand was suddenly caught by Mei Zizhong.

  Zhao Nanxing looked at him with a puzzled expression. Mei Zizhong, however, had already regained his usual composure and gave him a faint smile: "Let me do it instead." After speaking, he released his hand and once again placed two fingers on Mu Qingge's pulse.

  "It's a woman! This is the pulse of a woman! How could Brother Mochi have the pulse of a woman! Unless..." Mei Zizhong appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was turbulent like a stormy sea.

  This secret, he doesn't know how to express it, yet clearly knows it, but can't say it out!

  Although he didn't know what kind of method Mu Qing used to disguise herself so perfectly, making the fake seem real, since she chose to present herself as a man, she must have had her reasons.

  "I inadvertently broke what was already wrong and absolutely cannot make this secret public." Mei Zi Zhong said to himself.

  After a long time, he finally loosened his fingers and looked up at the three people waiting for him.

  Perhaps it was his overreaction just now that made all three of them look at him with curious and worried eyes.

  "Mozhi's pulse is steady and calm, it doesn't seem like he's contracted an illness." said Meizhong.

  "Why doesn't he wake up?" Zhao Nanxing asked in puzzlement.

  Mei Zi Zhong slowly shook his head, stood up and said to the three people: "Perhaps Mu Shidi is undergoing some kind of cultivation that we don't understand, let's not disturb her for now, let's wait a bit longer."

  His words were not refuted by Zhao Nanxing and Shang Zisu. They each sat back down, ate some flatbread, and solved their hunger problem.

  Zhu Ling walked towards Mei Zi Zhong and asked worriedly: "Mei Shixiong, are you alright?"

  Mei Zi's clear and cold gaze fell on Zhu Lian, politely yet distantly saying: "Thanks for your concern, Zhu Shifu, I'm fine."

  Mei Zi Zhong's estrangement made Zhu Lian open his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything and retreated back to sit down beside Shang Zi Su.

  Meizi just sat down beside Mochen and closed her eyes to meditate.

  Under his seemingly calm exterior, he was extremely agitated. As if digesting the secret he had unintentionally obtained.

  Perhaps, Mu Qingge did not expect that she would make a mistake. The illusion device could cover people's eyes and change her appearance to be indistinguishable from a man, but it couldn't change her body structure, nor could it change the pulse inside her.

  Or perhaps she didn't know, but had never thought that one day someone would take her pulse and through the beating of her own pulse, discover the secret that she was a girl.

  In the cave, restored quiet waiting.

  However, Mu Qing Ge was getting deeper and deeper into another 'illusion'.

  "Dragon's teeth are in array."

  "Here!" Mu Qingge took a step forward and walked out of the formation.

  The instructor glanced at her and said coldly: "Your physical examination report has some unqualified items. Go to the team doctor now."

  "Yes!" Mu Qing Ge had no refutation and no hesitation.

  He ran with his hands on his waist towards the team doctor's office.

  Before even reaching the infirmary, a smell of disinfectant wafted over. Mu Qing walked to the edge of the door and stood at attention, shouting towards the slightly ajar door: "Reporting!"

  "Come in." A very pleasant male voice came through.

  That voice carried an air of nobility, with a hint of arrogance and laziness that was beyond compare.

  Mu Qingge pushed open the door and entered. What she saw was a room with white walls, as well as a tall figure wearing a white coat.

  That figure is extremely good-looking, just like a European model with perfect proportions.

  He seemed to be fiddling with something, and it wasn't until Mu Qing walked in that he put down what was in his hand and slowly turned around.

  When he turned around, Mu Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

  This man is so handsome!

  Narrow and long fox eyes, as if there is a kind of innate charm. High nose, shallow double lips, every line seems to be the masterpiece of heaven.

  Even with a uniform crew cut in the army, it doesn't detract from his charm at all.

  But in his fox-like eyes that could capture one's soul, there was a hint of indifference, and behind the indifference, a layer of icy frost was hidden.

  "Go lie down on that bed, there's a problem with your physical examination report, I need to check it personally." The man said slowly, his tone exuding an air of noble elegance.

  "Yes." Mu Qingge didn't suspect anything else and turned around to walk towards the sickbed.

  Snow-white sheets, faint disinfectant smell, did not make people feel resistant.

  Murong Qingge lay silently on top, her eyes calmly staring at the energy-saving lamp on the ceiling.

  Suddenly, a shadow loomed over.

  Mo Qing's eyes moved slightly as she saw the handsome doctor walking in front of her. In his hand, he was holding a sharp scalpel.

  His mouth was slightly curved with a faint smile, and that smile seemed to have an anesthetic effect, numbing people's nerves and relaxing their vigilance. Mu Qingge's eyes were somewhat scattered in his smile.

  "In your report, it says that your heart is cold. I'll just open up your chest and take a closer look." The doctor's voice seemed to have a hypnotic effect.

  Mu Qingge lay on the bed and listened, but didn't show any resistance at all.

  The scalpel slowly fell, and the doctor pulled down the zipper on Mochizuki's jacket, revealing a suspender vest underneath.

  Under her pale skin, her heart is beating...

  Just as the scalpel touched the skin, a bright red drop of blood welled up from beneath.

  This drop of blood makes the doctor's smile even more cruel.

  In the fox's eyes that stole the soul and snatched the spirit, a vengeful pleasure and madness flickered.

  Just as he was about to forcefully tear open Mu Qing's skin, he suddenly felt his wrist being tightly grasped by someone, rendering him immobile.

  His eyes flashed with shock, directly meeting Mu Qing's icy and bone-piercing gaze.

  "You!" Besides shock, his eyes were filled with emotions of incredulity.

  Mù Qīng Gē grasped his wrist, flipped over and got out of bed, hooking up a cold smile: "Very curious why I wasn't enchanted by you? Snow, Fox, King."

  The doctor's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his shock was even more intense. Various complex emotions were finally replaced by a strong sense of hatred.

  "Your illusion is very realistic, even digging up the deepest memories in my heart. However, I don't remember having such a stunningly beautiful medic in my unit."

  The Snow Fox King's thin lips were pursed, and in his indifferent eyes, the figure of Mu Qing Ge was reflected, with an unhidden hatred emanating from him.

  "I almost believed you. But, you lost to your own self-confidence." Mu Qingge pinched his hand, slowly leaned in close to his ear, and whispered: "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

  Checking heart with surgical knife?

  What's different about this murder? Did he really think he could confuse her?

  "Hmph, what do you know? You're still trapped in my illusion!" The Snow Fox King's eyes gleamed with a cold light as his other hand transformed into a sharp fox claw that struck at Mu Qing Ge.

  A blue light flashed, and Mu Qingge's palm struck Snow Fox King's chest, sending him flying.

  He crashed heavily into the wall and fell down, covering his chest with an unbelievable expression, asking: "How could you......"

  Gazing at the blue light passing through his palm with a playful smile, he said teasingly: "Illusions are ultimately illusions and cannot become reality. Since I've already understood that this is an illusion, how can I still be bewildered by your illusory appearances? My spiritual power has never been lost."

  The Snow Fox King's eyes narrowed, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He spoke in a hateful tone: "I still underestimated you."

  "It's too kind of you." Mu Qingge's smile was even more enchanting under the dazzling blue light.

  Master Silver, lock it in space. Moe's voice suddenly echoed in Mu Qingge's mind.

  Mo Qing Ge was taken aback and asked in a calm tone: 'What's wrong?'

  Meng Meng excitedly said: 'I smell a hint of divine beast aura on it, let's lock it up, slowly torture it, trample it, destroy it, make it surrender to you, and it will be your spiritual pet!'

  Mu Qing's mouth twitched slightly.

  Get a spirit pet as handsome as this? However, the Snow Fox King's abilities are indeed pretty good.

  Mù Qīng Gē's heart skipped a beat, and she asked Meng Meng: 'How did you lock it up?'

  "Just catch the main silver one and leave everything else to Moe Moe!" Moe Moe said confidently.

  Mochizuki's eyes flashed for an instant, and she vanished from the spot. When she reappeared, she had already grabbed the Snow Fox King's paw, leaving it in shock.

  Suddenly, a flash of silver light appeared, and the Snow Fox King vanished from her hand.

  Mocheng Ge looked at his empty hand and disappeared into space on the spot.

  "Meng meng." As soon as they entered the space, Mu Qing Ge shouted out.

  Mengmeng suddenly appeared in front of her, opening up his chubby hands for a hug. "Master, baby wants a hug!"

  Mu Qingge slapped her palm open and asked: "Where is the Snow Fox King?"

  Meng Meng was extremely wronged, her eyes welling up with tears as she said: "Master Silver has abandoned me, he's got a new person and forgotten about the old one."

  "Don't you want to eat sugar pills anymore?" Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow and threatened.

  Mei Mei's slender body trembled slightly, and she led the way in front with a submissive attitude: "Follow me."

  Mochi followed Mengmeng to a house that seemed to have come from the future. In the middle of this house, there was an adult-sized snow fox curled up and lying down. It appeared to be in a coma, with a faint golden glow on its huge fox tail and a golden symbol on its forehead.

  "How did you turn into a fox?" Mu Qingge frowned. Compared to the fox, she still thought that the Snow Fox King's human form was more pleasing to the eye.

  Meng Meng said: "It was originally like this, it is now a blue boundary middle stage, and can only transform into human form in the fantasy realm. When it breaks through the purple boundary, there will be an opportunity to transform into a divine beast, and at that time it can transform into a true human form."

  Mo Qingge nodded slightly.

  Meng Meng continued: "Of course, if it is willing to surrender to Master Yin and become Master Yin's spiritual pet. Then in the future when Master Yin advances, it can also benefit and speed up its cultivation."

  Mu Qing snorted and curled her lip in disdain: "Look at it, it's like it can't wait to dig out my heart. Does that look like something that could be subdued by me?"

  Who would have thought that Mengmeng would pretend to be mature and say, "Kids are always disobedient when they're young, Master just needs to be a bit more patient."

  Mù Qīng Gē glanced at the Snow Fox King and said to Mengmeng, "Just lock him up here for now. I'll leave first, when I have time, I'll come back and have a good chat with him, and reshape his three views."

  After finishing speaking, Mu Qingge turned around and left.

  Meng Meng followed closely behind. At this time, the Snow Fox King, who had been closing his eyes, slowly opened them, revealing scarlet eyeballs, and coldly stared in the direction of Mu Qing Ge's departure, thinking to himself: "Despicable human, wanting me to submit to you? You can forget about that!"

  ……

  In the cave, Mu Qingge opened her eyes at noon.

  As soon as she woke up, Mei Zi Zhong announced his departure, as if nothing had happened.

  They didn't ask, and Mu Qingge naturally didn't bother explaining either.

  But after leaving the cave, Mengmeng suddenly reminded Mù Qīnggē: 'Master, baby forgot to tell you. When you were pulled into the illusion by the Snow Fox King, that Méi Zǐ Zhòng took your pulse for you.'

  This news made Mu Qingge's heart skip a beat, and she subconsciously looked at Mei Zi Chong walking in front of her.

  Men and women have different pulse conditions, she naturally knows this.

  "It seems that another person has found out about my identity." Mu Qing Ge slowly lowered her eyelids, suppressing the emotions in her eyes.

  However, since Mei Zi Zhong didn't ask her actively, she didn't dare to ask anything either, lest they would talk more and more.

  The five of them walked in the Mystic Forest for several more days, and these few days were relatively calm except for occasional encounters with spiritual beasts. Anyway, in the end, the beast cores of the spiritual beasts all fell into Mu Qing's pocket, and the medicinal materials they encountered also entered each of their bags separately.

  Along the way, the four of them seemed to have a new understanding of Mu Qing's strength.

  She was a natural-born alchemist prodigy, already an advanced dan master at such a young age. Her spiritual power and cultivation were profound and unfathomable, clever and resourceful, and her appearance was stunningly beautiful, making people both admire and resent her. It seemed that all the good things in this world had fallen upon her alone.

  In the end, Zhao Nanxing couldn't help but envy Mu Qing and say: "Brother Mu, someone as perfect as you must have a very hard life!"

  Finally, the five of them arrived at Moon Lake.

  It was unexpected that they didn't meet any other people from the Medicine Tower along the way, but instead bumped into Xie Yuan and his group here at Moon Lake.

  As soon as they met, both sides were secretly on guard.

  Mei Zi Zhong whispered beside Mu Qing Ge: "Huan Yue Ya is rumored to be at the bottom of Moon Lake, and you need to dive in to find it."

  Mù Qīng Gē nodded slightly, saying in a low voice: "Then let's deal with the people on the shore first." Otherwise, even if they obtained the Huàn Yuè Yá, it would be difficult to avoid being robbed by others.

  As they spoke, Xiang Yuan led his men towards the five of them.

  His eyes, which had been narrowed to slits, swept over Zhu Ling's body without leaving any trace, and finally landed on Mei Zi Zhong: "Mei Shixiong, I didn't expect us to meet here."

  Both sides stood on the edge of Moon Lake, like a crescent moon's surface, calm and waveless, reflecting everyone's figures in it like a mirror.

  Plum blossom chuckled lightly: "Indeed unexpected."

  The moon lake is surrounded by no trees, covered with green grass, as if it were a natural arena, where both sides can unfold their martial arts contest.

  "Now that we've bumped into each other, who should get the Moonseed? The Moonseed only grows one sprout at a time. Let's make things clear from the start to avoid any awkwardness later." Xian Yuan's smile hid his ruthlessness.

  "A treasure in heaven and earth, those who are destined will obtain it." Mei Zi Zhong said calmly.

  Di Yuan burst out laughing: "Those who have fate get it? What a wonderful 'those who have fate get it'! Since that's the case, I'll first eliminate you all and then go pick the Huan Yue sprout. That way, I'll be the one with fate!"

  Mei Zi Zhong and Zhao Nan Xing's eyes simultaneously narrowed, their expressions guarded as they looked at Duan Yuan.

  Di Yuan's face twisted into a cruel smile as he suddenly said to Zhu Ling: "Zhu Shimei, why haven't you made your move yet?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Ling, who was following Mei Zi Zhong and Shang Zi Su, activated her spiritual power and swung it at Mu Qing Ge.

  Mu Qingge seemed to have sensed something and turned around to dodge the sneak attack.

  "Zhū Líng!" Shāng Zǐ Sū looked at her good friend in disbelief.

  But Duan Yuan saw Zhu Ling's sneak attack fail, the smile at the corner of his mouth slowly retracted, and his eyes became even colder. 'Useless trash!'

  Mocheng's palm landed on Zhulian's shoulder, lifting her entire body and sending her flying in the direction of Xuan Yuan.

  Di Yuan dodged and the person behind him subconsciously caught Zhu Ling's body.

  Zhu Ling's body fell to the ground, her eyes shot out a cold light, and she once again mobilized her spiritual power to heavily strike Xie Yuan's back.

  This scene shocked Mei Zi Zhong San and stunned Xiang Yuan's people...
