These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

It was simply because the girl slightly opened her arms and closed her eyes.

Strands of hair danced in the air.

She smiled with her eyes closed and said, “Smell it… there’s the smell of earth, the fragrance of grass… the waves washing over the rocks… seagulls crying in the sky. This is reality… not static, but the growth of all things. This… is not just our world, but belongs to all things in this world, flowers, trees… even stones.”

Wei Tu smiled as he looked at the girl's innocent smile.

No one will ever be as innocent and utterly pure as Su Mi. If Luo Beihuang is the kind of person who rarely comes into contact with the outside world, and therefore seems to know nothing, then...

So Su Mi understood the truth of life, yet he was still willing to love life with a childlike heart.

These are two completely different states of mind. It's impossible to say which is better or worse; he likes both, but he just distinguishes between them more clearly.

I know it better than anyone else.

Wei Tu walked over and hugged the girl in his arms, the sea breeze blowing through their hair.

Wei Tu looked at the sea and whispered, "Shh...listen."

"what?"

Su Mi looked over in confusion, and then saw the sea surface suddenly seem to boil.

It seemed as if some violent surge was brewing.

Su Mi stared wide-eyed, not daring to blink, until…

"Whoa!!"

As if the sea had been suddenly torn open, Su Mi saw a huge, dark body burst out of the sea in an exaggerated manner, as if it were about to rush towards the sky. Only then did Su Mi realize that it had a dark back but a white belly.

It soared into the sky, then plummeted at its highest point, its entire body flipping over onto the sea surface as if it had exploded the entire ocean.

The moisture quickly spread, as if the air was filled with the scent of the sea, while the giant creature had already vanished beneath the surface...

"what is that?"

Su Mi asked curiously.

Wei Tu shook his head.

He simply smiled and waited.

Not long after...

"puff!!"

A column of water shot into the sky from the sea, just like a fountain.

The water jet lasted for a while before falling, but it left a rainbow in the sky in the eyes of the two people.

It wasn't actually that vibrant; it even seemed somewhat ethereal, as if it might disappear at any moment. But Su Mi's trembling eyelashes expressed her excited heart.

Wei Tu took her hand and said, "It seems we're going to be very lucky today."

"Yes...it's really beautiful."

"Let's go."

"Ah."

The two young people seemed to be coming to the world for the first time, stopping to look at everything they passed by.

They passed a checkpoint heading west.

A blue ox came towards us.

On the back of the blue ox, an old man sat back on the ox with a relaxed and content expression, seemingly not worried at all about encountering any accidents.

We slowly and leisurely passed through the checkpoint.

Su Mi looked over curiously.

"This old man is so strange."

Wei Tu glanced over there, just as the old man was looking over, put down the book in his hand, and smiled at the young couple.

"How natural..."

Wei Tu only heard him say this one sentence, but was amazed by his otherworldly and otherworldly demeanor.

He slowly and leisurely followed the blue ox away, leaving nothing behind.

Wei Tu turned to look at Su Mi, "There are plenty of strange people in the world, don't worry about them."

"But I feel... he's like a mysterious master from a story... Luckily we didn't offend the old man, otherwise what if we'd been blocked?"

Wei Tu laughed heartily and put his arm around the girl's slender shoulder.

"Don't worry, nobody's that bored."

The two passed through the checkpoint, and the young couple and the old man riding a blue ox missed each other.

For them, each other's lives may not be important; this is true for many people, who simply miss each other.

In Jiuyang City.

Looking at the majestic city gate, with soldiers standing tall on it, it appears imposing and precipitous, exuding a sense of solemnity.

"Is this the place you came to, senior brother? It's so lively."

Jiuyang City is indeed bustling now. Compared to my last visit, the infrastructure seems to have improved, and there are countless children playing in the streets.

The surrounding houses also seemed to have a more ostentatious appearance and luxurious decoration.

Wei Tu nodded.

"Yes, but it's different from back then. I don't even recognize it anymore."

Su Mi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Why does Senior Brother pretend that a long time has passed? Although this is the Shang Kingdom... the country of the Empress who is so infatuated with Senior Brother, I'm not forcing you to draw a line."

Wei Tu awkwardly touched his nose.

Indeed, when he said those words, his first thought was of Ye Bingluan, but Ye Bingluan wouldn't be in Jiuyang City.

But this girl is too perceptive; she knows exactly what I'm thinking. Can't she at least have some privacy?

"This...this isn't that important, is it? I really don't remember very clearly. A lot happened during that time, and I can't keep everything to myself..."

"But he can keep all the pretty girls in his heart, right?"

"Um... Junior sister, would you like some candied hawthorn?"

Wei Tu turned his head and suddenly asked.

Su Mi snorted coldly and wrinkled her nose slightly, expressing a hint of dissatisfaction.

The next moment, she affectionately hugged the boy's arm, smiling sweetly.

"Mmm~ I want to eat it, buy it for me~"

"it is good."

Wei Tu walked towards the old woman selling candied hawthorns.

"Buy a string of candied hawthorns."

"okay……"

The old woman reached for the candied hawthorn, and just as she was about to hand it to the boy, she blinked.

"Hey young man, haven't we met before?"

Wei Tu smiled and looked at the old woman, but shook his head.

"There shouldn't be any."

The old woman smiled and said, "It seems there aren't any left, but the young man is really handsome... and the young lady is beautiful too. They are a perfect match."

Su Mi blushed and happily accepted the candied hawthorn, walking down the street with the boy.

The old woman watched the two figures leave, and scratched her forehead, looking somewhat puzzled.

"You really haven't seen it before...?"

"That old lady said you look familiar. Is it because you look like her grandson?"

"You little rascal."

"Hee hee hee……"

Wei Tu stroked the girl's soft hair, sensing the people coming and going around him. They had concealed their aura in advance, so they didn't appear particularly otherworldly or different from ordinary people. However, even so, their appearance still attracted some people to stop and look back.

Suddenly, a horse-drawn carriage drove up from not far away.

It made the sound of wheels and axles turning, as if it were a very large operation.

The crowd on the road quickly parted, and Su Mi and Wei Tu, who were chatting and laughing, seemed to be separated into the crowd as well.

"what is this?"

Su Mi looked over curiously and saw a luxurious carriage being driven past the crowd by two fine horses.

Soldiers were clearing the way on both sides.

They shouted as they evacuated the crowd.

"Make way! The City Lord of Jiuyang City is out of the city to suppress bandits. Nobody is allowed to make way! Get out of the way, or we won't care if you get trampled to death!"

"Lord of Jiuyang City... Senior Brother, do you know him?"

Su Mi looked over curiously, but Wei Tu shook his head.

Soon, the carriage passed in front of the two, but to their slight surprise...

This formidable figure from Jiuyang City, dressed in slightly languid clothes, possessed a handsome face and exuded an air of unrestrained arrogance.

It didn't look like they were going out of the city to suppress bandits at all.

It was originally just an insignificant passing by, but in that instant...

Dugu Xun suddenly sensed something. He turned his head and saw a handsome young man gazing at him from the crowd.

His eyes were unusually calm, devoid of any other emotion.

Dugu Xun glanced sideways and saw the girl next to the boy, his gaze being drawn to her for a moment.

He didn't stop the carriage; he only slowly looked away when it disappeared from sight.
