Mushroom Man

"I want to help him escape the underworld..."

"Let him see with his own eyes this colorful, sunny world."

At this moment, Princess Qinghe's curiosity about Huiyue gradually transformed into pity and admiration.

These two emotions intertwined and attracted the Love Mushroom.

The appearance of the Love Mushroom made the Thinking Mushroom retreat.

Love doesn't require thought; there are never many reasons to fall in love with someone.

Only then did Princess Qinghe realize that she had unknowingly fallen in love with this seemingly upright but actually lonely man.

When she understood her true feelings, faced her own heart, and grasped the mushroom of love...

A burning passion for love ignited within Princess Qinghe.

The flames of love burned so brightly that the conscious mushroom that had always been hidden within her was forced to escape.

It turns out that this "awakening mushroom" was a mushroom that naturally grew as Princess Qinghe lived in Qinghe day after day.

But now, because of the Love Mushroom, the Sober Mushroom dares not approach Princess Qinghe anymore.

Love makes people stupid, it eliminates the need for thought, so thinking has to take a backseat.

Love can make people confused, so those who are clear-headed can only choose to escape.

However, Princess Qinghe needs the help of Qingxinggu to rescue Huiyue.

Because Huiyue mistakenly drank the potion of bewitching, she fell into confusion and bewilderment.

Only the Awakening Mushroom can awaken the Crescent Moon.

So, Princess Qinghe, facing the fleeing Qingxinggu, made a plea.

"Oh, you 'wake-up mushroom,' please help my sweetheart."

"He was so pitiful and so lonely."

"He shouldn't remain trapped in the underworld because of confusion and bewilderment."

"He deserves to live like a normal person in the world of living people."

However, Qingxinggu remained unmoved by Princess Qinghe's pleas.

"You've been blinded by love."

"Once a person falls in love, they can no longer see the other person's flaws, the truth of the matter, or the pros and cons."

"Someone like that can't have me..."

The sober mushroom calmly tried to dissuade Princess Qinghe.

As it says, love can blind people and narrow their vision.

This is why Princess Qinghe could not see Huiyue's shortcomings, could not see the truth of the matter, and was also unable to distinguish between advantages and disadvantages.

Under the influence of love, her mind was filled with thoughts of Huiyue's goodness, so how could she possibly listen to the advice of Qingxinggu?
Princess Qinghe was furious at Qingxing Gu's rejection.

The raging flames of love instantly reduced the sober mushroom to ashes.

Without the Awakening Mushroom, she had no choice but to turn to the Love Mushroom for help.

"Love, please tell me, how can I save Huiyue?"

“I don’t want him to continue suffering from loneliness, I don’t want him to continue being trapped in the world of the dead.”

The Love Mushroom, bathed in the fire of love, radiates a soft glow.

It did not answer Princess Qinghe's question directly, but instead gently asked a question in return.

"Human beings, love is all-powerful."

"As long as you love him enough, even if you are separated by life and death, nothing can stop you."

"However, love is never just about words; it also depends on what price you are willing to pay for him."

"Are you really prepared to risk everything to save him?"

As soon as Love Mushroom finished speaking, Princess Qinghe picked up the conversation without hesitation and nodded heavily.

"Love, I'm ready!"

"I must save him, no matter the cost!" Upon hearing this, the Love Mushroom shone brightly!
The light swept across Qinghe, forcibly re-condensing the Awakening Mushroom.

The moment the Awake Mushroom appears, it tries to escape from the Love Mushroom.

However, his sobriety was no match for love, and he was ultimately trapped by the love mushroom, which led to Princess Qinghe's downfall.

"Man, I have already caught the Awakening Mushroom."

"But having only the Awakening Mushroom is not enough to save Gloomy Moon and help her escape from the Yellow Springs."

"You will also need to personally take the Awakening Mushroom to the Underworld and hand it over to Huiyue."

"Only in this way can Huiyue be brought back to her senses."

Love Mushroom spoke softly, telling Princess Qinghe everything about how to save Huiyue.

Princess Qinghe understood that this was the price she had to pay.

For a living person to go to the Yellow Springs means death.

No one is immune to fear when faced with life and death.

The food of the Love Mushroom is fear and hope.

Fear will not diminish love; it will only intensify it!
"It's nothing more than death!"

"If I can save Huiyue and stay with him forever, facing loneliness together, I am willing to give my life!"

Princess Qinghe gave her loud response.

However, she was unaware that because of love, she had been secretly approached by the foolish mushroom.

Love makes people stupid, so the best friend of the Love Mushroom is the Stupid Mushroom.

Under the influence of the foolish mushroom, Princess Qinghe was completely unaware that she was making a foolish mistake.

Dying for love will not guarantee that lovers will be together forever, nor will it allow them to stay together indefinitely.

Because death strips everything away, this was destined to be a love affair without a happy ending.

Princess Qinghe was completely unaware of all this.

Of course, when love strikes, even knowing all this, she would still choose to sacrifice herself without hesitation to fulfill the wishes of her beloved.

There was a loud "smack"!
Without the slightest hesitation, Princess Qinghe smashed her head against a rock and died, her brains splattered.

There are countless kinds of love, each different from the last.

Princess Qinghe's love was a love that lasted until death.

After her death, her soul left her body and, along with the lucid mushroom, followed the crack into the underworld.

The underworld is gloomy and terrifying, devoid of any color or life.

The scenery here remains unchanged, except for wandering ghosts and spirits.

One after another, terrifying, menacing mushrooms sought out Princess Qinghe.

But when the Love Mushroom appears, the Courage Mushroom is born!

The Fear-shroom was powerless against the Courage-shroom and vanished instantly.

Love makes people brave, so it can summon courage and defeat fear.

Before courage, all demons and monsters must bow their heads.

With the help of the Courage Mushroom, Princess Qinghe was not deterred by fear.

She walked step by step through the underworld, just to bring a moment of clarity to her beloved.

She waded through the Fountain of Bewitching Beauty without being affected by its potion, and this was also thanks to love.

The Confused Mushroom and the Bewildered Mushroom in the Bewitching Fountain, like the Foolish Mushroom, are all friends of the Love Mushroom.

Princess Qinghe was already deeply confused and lost because of love, so she naturally wouldn't be held back by the bewitching potion.

With unwavering love, she finally stood before Huiyue.

At this moment, she no longer needed to peek at the crescent moon through the crack.

Princess Qinghe only needed to raise her head to see up close the man she had longed for and yearned for day and night… her beloved! (End of Chapter)
