Volume 2: The Phoenix Descends Upon the World, the Splendid Phoenix Astonishes the Swan 042 Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms

  "Alright, I'll take you and Hei Bai Wu Chang out for dinner now!"

  Ruan Qincheng's hand stirred up a whirlwind of petals, and the sharp gust of wind frightened Yin Lüfang into hastily retreating.

  "Cough cough cough, Xiao Duan Duan, don't be so heartless!"

  Yin Lv Feng shook his head and said with a smile.

  "Oh? Aren't you very hungry?"

  Ruan Qincheng smiled even more warmly, her voice like a clear spring, making people feel so comfortable listening to it.

  "I'm not hungry anymore, not even a little bit!"

  Yin Lv Feng hastily shook his head and said, "I'm so scared that I'm no longer hungry!"

  "If you're not hungry, then go take care of things!"

  Ruan Qincheng said with great kindness, her eyes gazing at him gently but firmly.

  "Don't look at me like that, can't I even go and pay it back?"

  Yin Lv Feng's foot touched the ground, a fiery figure flashed by, and in an instant, it vanished without a trace. He was indeed born with a bitter fate! To have followed such a ruthless master!

  "Miss, has the young master of the Flowing Wind gone?"

  Xue and Yu walked into the flower forest, but only saw Ruan Qindeng sitting alone under a tree, holding a lotus seed pod in her arms, with a calm and peaceful expression. After looking around for a while, she didn't see Yin Lüfang's figure anywhere.

  "He's gone!"

  Ruan Qincheng couldn't help but smile as he recalled his hasty retreat. It was like the serene and tranquil unfolding of a lotus flower, calming one's heart.

  "Miss, where are we going now?"

  Listening to the rain, she opened her mouth and asked, with a delicate face as white as powder, her bright black eyes shining brightly, full of childish cuteness.

  "Get ready, we're leaving the mansion!"

  Ruan Qinchun stepped out of the lotus and walked towards her house.

  Before long, a handsome young man with two delicate little book boys following behind him appeared on the bustling streets of Emperor's City.

  "Miss, I heard that ten miles outside the city, the peach blossoms are blooming magnificently. Shall we go take a look?"

  Xue walked two steps closer to Ruan Qincheng's side, her bright eyes shining with a hint of expectation.

  "Alright! Let's get out of the city!"

  As soon as Ruan Qincheng's words fell, she sensed that the air around her had rippled slightly. Without thinking, she knew there were people lurking nearby, but she didn't feel any murderous intent, so the newcomers should be here to monitor her. As for who sent these people, she already had a clear idea in her mind.

  She knew that Yun Qianye couldn't leave so abruptly, with her intuition, these people were absolutely not ordinary guards.

  Xue found a horse-drawn carriage and they sped away towards the outskirts of the city.

  Different from the hustle and bustle of the city, the outskirts are exceptionally quiet. The horse carriage rushes towards the Ten-mile Peach Blossom Forest, with large clusters of peach blossoms, along with a wisp of fragrant wind, bursting into view.

  Ruan Qinchendescended from the carriage with a light and agile movement, her cyan-colored long robe was still elegant and refined. In her hand, she grasped a snow-white folding fan, sprinkling ink-like elegance, carefree and at ease.

  "Wow, what beautiful peach blossoms! It's breathtaking!"

  Listening to the rain, I happily jump up, with petals of peach blossoms flying in my hands. The peach blossoms here are blooming extraordinarily beautifully. Large pieces are connected together, like a giant piece of satin, which is really beautiful.

  "This peach blossom forest stretches for ten miles. Every time this season comes, many people come to admire it! I heard that in the peach blossom forest, there is a three-life stone that can see the loved ones of past and present lives! Don't know if it's true or not!"

  Xue Wan's gentle voice slowly said.

  Before my eyes, young men and women in pairs or threes, dressed in bright clothes, with shy and sweet expressions on their faces, walked hand in hand into the peach blossom forest. Perhaps they were searching for the legendary Three Lives Stone, but so far, I haven't seen many people find any traces of it.

  "I don't know if there's a Three Lives Stone in this Peach Blossom Forest, but I do recall that an old wine immortal lives here. His peach blossom wine is the favorite of both the madam and the master! However, the old wine immortal has strange rules, so it's not easy to get his hands on that peach blossom wine!"

  Ting Yu said with a crisp tone, a sweet smile hanging on her face.

  "But it's definitely not going to stump Miss!" Hehe!

  "You two little devils!"

  Ruan Qincheng looked at Ting Xue and Ting Yu, her tone was gentle. It turned out that they had gone to great lengths to get her to come over, just to let her pay respects to her parents! Since her parents liked the peach blossom wine, she might as well go into the Peach Blossom Forest to meet the old wine immortal!

  Three people walked into the peach blossom forest, with soft green grass beneath their feet. It was as if a blank sheet of paper had been dipped in blue ink and a bold stroke had been drawn across it. A figure in a long green robe flitted between the branches of the peach trees, sleeves filled with fragrance, intoxicating clouds and mist.

  Xue and Yu had been here before, vaguely remembering that the old wine immortal lived behind the Peach Blossom Swamp. This peach blossom swamp was not approached by anyone, if accidentally entered, it would be impossible to preserve one's life. However, Xue remembered that outside the peach blossom swamp there was a secluded small path that could safely enter within.

  The three of them had not yet approached Peach Blossom Island when they heard a burst of clashing swords.

  Ruan Qinchend's gaze was fixed on the front, only to see that in the midst of the peach blossoms flying about, a dark figure emerged, holding a jade flute, and confronting the black shadows from all directions. Another youth, dressed in light gray clothing, also appeared in the battlefield, looking particularly disheveled.

  "Master, be careful!"

  The young man's face turned anxious as he saw the arrow wound on the black-clad man's body, and his heart was burning with anxiety.

  Swipe

  A series of poisonous arrow silhouettes shot towards the man in black clothes.

  At this critical moment, the man's golden leather boots stomped heavily on the ground, and his charming flaxen curly hair flew up. The jade flute in his hand swept across, and a cold air burst out of the jade flute. The arrows that filled the sky turned into shattered ice and fell to the ground.

  She spun around and landed gracefully.

  Ruan Qincheng couldn't help but secretly admire him for this move. Through the peach blossoms flying in the air, she saw the man's face clearly. His evil and charming face was full of wildness, with a strong jawline, cold and stern but not lacking in majesty. The red vermilion between his eyebrows was like a stroke of divine brushwork, adding a touch of splendor to him.

  A pair of brown eyes, with a gaze that seemed to pierce through the ages, coldly swept over the dark shadows that were thick with killing intent.

  These dark figures are indeed formidable, their movements as swift as ghosts, making it impossible to capture them. Looking at their posture, it gives people a feeling of not giving up until death.

  Ruan Qincheng didn't want to get involved in these unnecessary disputes and turned around to leave.

  Unexpectedly, a poisonous arrow shot towards the direction where they were. If not for the three of them reacting in time, they would have already been pierced by this poisoned arrow.

  "Ha! It seems we can't stay out of this after all!"

  Ruan Qinchun's lips curled up with a cold and cruel smile, step by step walking towards them. Her footsteps were light and gentle, but each one seemed to heavily trample on the hearts of the crowd. It was because her body carried the aura of the God of Death, causing people to shudder from deep within their souls.

  "You want my life? Fine! How brave! I really don't mind sending you to dance with Meng Po!"
