My understanding is incredible: I gained enlightenment and immortality in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom

Tian Siyao smiled. "Everything here is real, not an illusion." She gently shook the clear water whip in her hand, and a stream of clear water splashed out from the tip of the whip, merging with the water in the pool.

The two stopped from time to time to admire the dreamlike scenery.

Chen Ze felt somewhat intoxicated. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to keep the air here in his heart forever.

He suddenly turned to look at Tian Siyao: "Are we really in an ancient cave?"

Tian Siyao nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, but the beauty here is indescribable."

She gently touched the jade pendant, and a light breeze blew by, causing the surrounding petals to flutter like the hem of a fairy's skirt.

The two continued onward, venturing deeper into the beautiful scenery.

Flower beds, small bridges, and flowing water—every corner holds a unique scenic view.

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao seemed to have entered a paradise on earth, forgetting time and the troubles of the world, wanting only to become one with this natural world.

"Xueqi, why did you bring outsiders?"

The cold voice shattered their silence instantly, putting them on alert.

Chen Ze instinctively reached out and touched his colorful tower, but he didn't use it immediately because he wasn't sure if the ghost in front of him was hostile.

Tian Siyao gripped her jade sword tightly, summoning it with her inner strength. She felt its slight vibration, as if telling her that it was ready at any moment, waiting only for her command.

The female ghost had a face as beautiful as jade, long flowing hair, and fluttering clothes, but the loneliness and sorrow revealed in her eyes seemed to be trying to tell a story.

Chen Ze stepped forward and asked in as calm a tone as possible, "We are just passing through and have no intention of trespassing on this land. Are you the guardian of this place?"

The female ghost gently shook her head, a hint of sorrow in her voice: "I am not a guardian, but a lost soul named 'Shadow.' Long ago, I was trapped here and could not leave."

Tian Siyao's heart softened. She took a deep breath and said softly, "Miss Youying, what is the reason you stayed here when you said you were lost?"

The shadowy figure's gaze drifted, as if traversing time and space, returning to the past. She slowly said, "A long, long time ago, I died because of a misunderstanding. My soul could not find peace, so it has remained here ever since."

Chen Ze frowned slightly, sensing the sorrow and indifference of this underworld. He said softly, "We just want to find something, and then we will leave without disturbing you."

The shadow seemed to hesitate for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Then be careful, there are other malevolent spirits here besides me."

Tian Siyao gently stroked the jade sword and whispered, "Thank you for the reminder, Miss Youying. We will be careful."

Although their conversation with Youying was brief, it made them understand the complexity and mystery of this place.

They continued onward, but were prepared to face any dangers at any time.

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao had just finished their conversation with Youying and continued their journey along Peach Blossom Spring.

The flowers seemed to clear a path for them, to dance for them, each step appearing so effortless and magical.

But amidst this tranquility, they all sensed something amiss.

This is a paradise, where every corner may hide some unknown secrets.

Not far away, a graceful figure appeared among the flowers and trees. Her movements were like lotus leaves in the water, elegant yet powerful.

Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, seemingly inextricably linked to this paradise.

Chen Ze stood there, sensing the woman's unique aura, as if she and this paradise were mysterious, charming, and untouchable.

Tian Siyao gently gripped her jade sword. This was her intuition telling her that although she was also attracted by the woman's beauty, she knew that she could not easily let her guard down in this place.

The woman seemed oblivious to them, instead admiring the scenery around her.

Her eyes held a deep sorrow, as if endless stories awaited to be told. Chen Ze smiled slightly and stepped forward: "Sister, this paradise is very beautiful. Would you be willing to share the stories of this place with us?"

The woman turned around, her dark eyes staring directly at Chen Ze, as if searching for his true feelings.

After a moment, she smiled slightly: "You look different from the other creatures here. I think it would be interesting to communicate with you."

Tian Siyao picked up the conversation: "We are outsiders, just here to look for something. I wonder if you could give us some pointers?"

The woman waved her hand gently: "I'm just a visitor here, but if you really want to know some stories about this land, I might be able to share some."

The three sat among the flowers, and the woman began to tell the story of this paradise. Her voice was as clear as spring water, which was refreshing and delightful.

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao listened intently; this was yet another adventure for them in this paradise.

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao were both attracted to Qin Miyue in front of them.

This beautiful woman seemed to be intimately connected with this paradise, and her presence gave them an unprecedented sense of peace.

"Qin Miyue?" Chen Ze called her name softly, trying to confirm whether she was truly the ruler of this paradise.

“We come from outside and are not familiar with this place.”

Tian Siyao looked at Qin Miyue, but her hand gripped her jade sword tightly.

She sensed the woman's power; her extraordinary aura filled her with awe.

"Chen Ze, we need to be careful."

Qin Miyue seemed to sense the tension between the two of them, and she chuckled softly, her laughter as clear and melodious as the tinkling of a spring.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Actually, I just wanted to talk to you all and hear what the outside world is like.

Tian Siyao lowered her guard a little and said sincerely, "The outside world is very different from here; it is full of struggle and conflict."

But here, it feels like a safe haven, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace. Chen Ze nodded and added, "We have experienced many hardships and difficulties in the outside world, but we have overcome them one by one."

Here, we found a brief respite.

Qin Miyue nodded slightly, her eyes flashing with thoughtful light.

"Everyone has their own journey, and this is just a small stop on your journey."

You still have a long way to go.

As Tian Siyao looked at Qin Miyue, a thought arose in her mind.

She suddenly felt that communicating with this woman who seemed to know everything might bring them more insights.

"Sister Miyue, may we ask you some questions?"

Qin Miyue smiled, a smile that seemed to contain boundless wisdom.

"Of course, I'll tell you anything I know."

So the three of them sat in the Peach Blossom Spring and began an in-depth conversation.

Qin Miyue shared her understanding of Peach Blossom Spring, while Chen Ze and Tian Siyao recounted their experiences. (End of Chapter)
