Volume Three: Prosperous World Smoke and Flowers, Flowing Years of Tender Love 047 Gifted Jade to a Beloved Person

  Only to see, the screen in the midst of a sea of flames, like a thousand feet of lotus silk, hanging high and rising, stretching across the sky. The flames burned recklessly, blurring Ruan Qin's line of sight. Suddenly, a slender figure like a green lotus as snow, decisively leaped into the sea of fire.

  Another figure broke free from the crowd's restraints and sprinted towards her, his long black robe fluttering wildly in the flames.

  Across the raging flames, she saw that straight figure, a majestic posture like a mountain peak, an arrogant and proud demeanor that shook her heart. A nameless sorrow surged from the depths of her soul, she widened her eyes to see the man's face clearly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see his outline.

  That chasm-like flame separated them on both sides of life and death, forever unable to take a step closer.

  But just as she felt a sense of loss in her heart, a firm and clear voice suddenly echoed from the depths of her soul. The vow-like voice seemed to pierce through time and space, breaking through the thick fog of confusion, and finally reached the tip of her heart.

  "Very well, if that's what you want, then so be it. I'll follow you to the depths of hell and the darkest ocean!"

  In my mind, that one sigh of despair, lingering in my brain, finally turned into a wisp of smoke, disappearing without a trace.

  She looked incredulously at the figure, taking one difficult step after another on the burning lotus flowers, walking towards the direction of the woman in the fire. However, just as his hand was about to touch hers, the two of them turned into nothing but a wisp of ash.

  "If there is an afterlife, I only wish to be with you, never parting until our hair turns white!"

  On the Three Lives Stone, waves rippled and opened up, ultimately all the scenes were kneaded into wrinkled moire patterns, engraved on the Three Lives Stone, adding a few streaks of mottling.

  The lotus-like eyes that had quietly opened between the eyebrows suddenly closed, and a thread of astonishment flashed across the bottom of her eyes. The master's fate is so strong, but through the Three Lives Stone, he can only see her past life, but not this life or future life. Is the person seen by the heavenly eye the destined person for the master in this life?

  After all, the master's obsession is so deep, even if it's just an onlooker, it still feels the same way!

  This unfinished emotional entanglement will surely involve her for this lifetime.

  "Qin'er? What's wrong?"

  Ling Jinlan's gentle voice echoed softly and lingered on.

  Ruan Qincheng came back to her senses, turned around, and met his gaze full of concern. He was like a refreshing breeze in the midst of dusty streets, slowly dispersing the sorrow in her heart.

  Recollecting his thoughts, the mist dispersed, and the Three Lives Stone in front of him returned to its original state. The large characters on the stone also quietly disappeared. It was as if everything he had just seen was merely a grand illusionary dream.

  "What's up? How is he?"

  Ruan Qinchendian smiled slightly, putting him at ease. Her gaze swept towards Feng Bingyi, asking faintly.

  "The poison of the Ice Spider has been cured, but the cold toxin that has accumulated in his body over time cannot be eliminated overnight! A long illness makes a good doctor, and I believe he himself knows how to alleviate the pain of the cold toxin!"

  Ling Jinlan's warm and gentle voice was filled with the warmth of a spring breeze, and just listening to it was a pleasure.

  "If you want to completely cure the cold poison, does Jinglan have a way?"

  Ruan Qinchun walked two steps and sat on the stone chair by the creek, gently stirring the clear water with her hand. A serene smile floated at the bottom of her eyes. Peach blossom petals drifted in the creek, carried by the cool and smooth water flow, passing through her slender fingers, flowing away into the distance.

  "It's difficult, unless the Fire Lotus Heart is found as a guide for medicine. However, this Fire Lotus Heart has long been extinct on the mainland. So, even if you want to completely cure the special cold poison in his body, it's also helpless!"

  Ling Jinlan shook his head, his medical skills were superb, but a clever woman can't cook without rice. Some illnesses, he was also powerless to cure. Just like the year Ruan Qincheng's body had the Gu poison, he exhausted all his efforts, yet still couldn't heal her. In the end, it gave Yun Huang an opportunity to take advantage of!

  "It doesn't matter, there are many things in this world that can't be forced!"

  Ruan Qincheng slowly got up, with wisdom in her eyes. There are many things that can't be obtained by seeking them out. In a lifetime, there are many things that can't be grasped in one's hands. If everything is forced, life will be too tiring. Let go of your worries, watch the sun rise and moon set, and enjoy each new beginning every day.

  "When gained, sing with joy; when lost, rest. Many sorrows and hatreds are also lingering. Today there is wine, today get drunk, tomorrow sorrow comes, tomorrow sorrow."

  The lotus-green long gown flowed like water, and the three thousand green silk threads suddenly rose. The absolutely beautiful face was filled with the vibrant vitality of youth, and those black onyx-like dark eyes were filled with transparent self-confidence. Those who have not experienced darkness cannot truly feel the beauty of light. She was like a nocturnal butterfly, emerging from its cocoon at midnight, unfolding the most beautiful light.

  "Haha, little kid, well said! Come on, keep this old man company and have a drink with me!"

  The old wine immortal pats open the seal of the wine jar, clear and transparent beautiful wine, poured into the amber cup. The rising wine mist, like March smoke rain. Clouds gather fog, empty water shared steaming.

  A faint peach blossom wine fragrance wafts up to the tip of the nose, refreshing the heart.

  "Old man, just the two of us drinking alone is no fun. Don't be stingy, bring out the good wine and let's all drink to our heart's content, wouldn't that be great?"

  Ruan Qinchun's toe touched the ground, one hand picked up the wine jug, and the other hand arranged the wine cups in a row beside it. The wine flowed into the cups, filling them with fragrance.

  "Alright! Since you young folks are so enthusiastic, I, an old man, shouldn't be outdone! Come on, let's do it!"

  Lao Jiu Xian couldn't help but feel a liking for her after seeing her bold and uninhibited behavior. He had never been fond of worldly constraints, and he most admired people who lived freely and at ease!

  This young girl is deeply loved by him despite her tender age!

  Xiao Lingzi's eyes are indeed discerning, this little girl is really not ordinary!

  "Hehe, today I have the chance to meet two of you here, let's start with a toast!"

  Feng Bing's hand grasped the wine cup, and with one drink, he drained it to the bottom. Amidst his wild and demonic charm, a straightforward masculine aura shone through.

  "Good! Qinchun also respects Bing brother with a cup. Thousands of mountains and rivers, one day we will have the opportunity to meet again!"

  Ruan Qincheng raised the wine glass in her hand, tilted her head back and drank down the fragrant peach blossom wine, her movements bold and decisive. Her snowy cheeks were faintly tinged with a delicate red hue as the wine fumes wafted up, making one's heart skip a beat at the sight.

  "Today, Qinceng Xian has done me a great favor. If you have any difficulties in the future, come to the Snow Phoenix Empire and look for me! This Snow Phoenix jade pendant is my token, please keep it well, Qinceng Xian! As long as you are within the borders of the Snow Phoenix Empire, it will guarantee your safe passage!"

  Feng Bingyi took out a piece of phoenix jade pendant with a smooth body from her bosom and put it into Ruan Qindan's palm, with genuine kindness filling the bottom of her eyes.

  "Qin Chen accepted it with gratitude!"

  Ruan Qincheng calmly put away the Snow Phoenix Jade Pendant, without noticing Bai Hua's extremely shocked gaze.

  Good heavens! Your Majesty has gone mad, actually giving the Snow Phoenix Jade Pendant to a mere acquaintance!

  This is simply unbelievable! Has he gone blind?!

  Under the peach blossom tree, by the stream, a few people are having a joyful conversation over wine. The fallen peach blossoms float away with the water, in shades of pale green and deep red. Feng Yujie holds a jade flute in her hand and plays a delightful tune. The peach blossoms scent their sleeves, and at this moment, their hearts all relax. Here, there is no deceit or noise, only the quiet peace of mind.

  A Peach Garden Beyond This World, Where is the Xiao Flute?

  Ruan Qincheng held a wine cup in her hand, leaning gently against the peach tree, listening to Feng Bingyi's flute. Her beautiful eyes were half-closed, her eyelashes fluttering like butterflies, and a transcendent and elegant smile hung on her lips.

  Among flowers I get drunk, cold smoke and green, one more cup of wine, everyone else is sober, only I am drunk.

  But how long can such peace and happiness last?
