2351 Meet
The surroundings were quiet, and nobody appeared.
Tuan Zi put up her tiny arms. “I’ve already helped you so much. Aren’t you going to thank me?”
After a moment, a red berry was thrown over.
Tuan Zi caught that berry. “Cinnabar berry?”
A bright light flashed across her eyes. This is one of the berries I like the most! Ever since I’ve been cultivating at Phoenix Mountain, I haven’t eaten it in a long, long time!
She elatedly held the cinnabar berry and wanted to throw it into her mouth. In the end, when it almost reached her mouth, she stopped and pouted.
She looked at where the cinnabar berry came from. “Don’t think that you can bribe me with a cinnabar berry! Hmph!”
Another cinnabar berry was thrown over.
Tuan Zi caught it with one hand and held it in her arms. “Two won’t do as well! You must come out and show yourself to me today!”
Then, she walked forward.
Shua!
A faint sound of air breaking could be heard. Following this, Tuan Zi saw a blurred figure flashing across her eyes!
She grinded her teeth and went on her toes, immediately flying forward! “Let’s see where you’re going to run!”
I couldn’t catch up with it previously. This time, I want to see it clearly no matter what!
That shadow ran really quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Tuan Zi stopped and lowered her head to glance at the cinnabar berries in her hands. The thick berry fragrance exuded from them, causing one to salivate.
She licked her lips and suppressed her urge to finish them. “You want to escape? It’s not that easy!”
The smell of the cinnabar berry can stay on a person for a few days! It’s fine if I don’t see them. Based on this smell, I can similarly catch that person!
Tuan Zi wrinkled her nose and followed that faint fragrance in the air.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Tuan Zi stopped before the barrier between Phoenix Mountain and the Fantasy Divine Hall.
She knitted her brows. “Is the person inside?”
That fragrance disappeared here. She surveyed her surroundings.
This barrier descended from the sky, and it thoroughly blocked her. One could only pass through this barrier to leave here.
“No wonder!” Tuan Zi instantly understood. I was wondering why I couldn’t find the person every time. So they directly ran back to the Fantasy Divine Hall?! To think that I had been searching Phoenix Mountain the whole time. I almost dug the ground and could not find the person, but it turns out I was looking in the wrong area!
Tuan Zi glanced at the barrier before her hesitantly. “How should I go over… Oh right!”
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
She used her left hand to hold the two cinnabar berries before shaking her right hand and summoning the Ancestral Golden Feather.
If I haven’t recalled wrongly, this could directly pass the barrier…
Tuan Zi thought of it and waved her hand lightly.
Buzz—
A crack rapidly appeared on the barrier!
“It’s done!” Tuan Zi was beyond surprised and rapidly went in!
Rich Heaven and Earth Force immediately came from all directions!
Tuan Zi took a deep breath in and felt rejuvenated.
Phoenix Mountain was great, but it was a little hot. Hence, she couldn’t adjust to it for a while when she suddenly came outside.
Tuan Zi turned around to look.
That crack had silently closed. The surroundings were quiet, as if nobody detected her arrival.
Tuan Zi blinked. This barrier… seems like it was crossed very easily?
She put away the Ancestral Golden Feather and captured the other party’s remaining fragrance in the air. “Where are they!”
Tuan Zi confirmed the direction and rushed over!
…
Pu!
A sound was heard in the silent yard.
Something squirmed in the pile of fallen leaves, causing the leaves to fly everywhere. After a moment, a nonchalant and calm voice came from the room. “You went to Phoenix Mountain again?”
That pile of leaves did not move.
“Did you forget how I warned you previously?” That voice was colder and harsher than before.
The yard was even more quiet.
At this point, knocks could be heard outside.
Knock knock!
“Is there anyone here?” A crisp and soft voice could be heard from outside.
The voice inside the room suddenly stopped.
Outside the door, Tuan Zi’s face broke into a bright smile. “Hehe, this is your house, right? I’ve already found this place. Are you still not willing to come out?”
She was very certain that the other party was here because the smell disappeared here!
Originally, she wanted to enter directly, but there was a barrier outside the yard. She thought for a while and found it inappropriate to directly trespass in, so she obediently chose to knock on the door.
Anyway, she had chased the person all the way here. There was no reason to continue hiding, right?
After a while, it was still quiet inside, and there was no response.
Tuan Zi knocked on the door again.
Whish! Whish! Whish!
“I’m not a bad person. Why don’t you want to come out?”
Still, nobody answered her.
Tuan Zi waited for a while and was a little angry. She pouted. “If you don’t come out, I’m going to go in myself!”
Then, she put two hands on the door and leaned her chubby face in, wanting to find some clues from the cracks.
It was a pity that although this yard was not big, its quality was superior.
She widened her grape-like eyes as she turned around, but she still could not see anything.
“How can it be like this…” Tuan Zi muttered softly. I helped them big time! How could they just settle it with two cinnabar berries?
“Why are you here?!” A shocked female voice came from behind.
Tuan Zi turned around and glanced at her.
It was Shu Jing.
Tuan Zi pouted and ignored her. Then, she placed her face on the door and kept exerting force with her hands. Perhaps I can really open it to take a look!
However, her behavior was extremely insolent and arrogant to Shu Jing. “What are you doing?!”
Shu Jing knitted her brows tightly. Not only did this Tuan Zi leave Phoenix Mountain, but she even came to whine at First Deity’s place? What is she doing? Does she want to forcefully barge in?
Tuan Zi acted as if she didn’t hear Shu Jing.
Shu Jing was exasperated. She came to find the First Deity to solve the medicinal mountain’s barrier.
After the strange situation that day, she couldn’t care much and hurried to the Fantasy Divine Hall. Originally, she wanted to ask for help, but she was scolded and ridiculed by the Second Deity. Helpless, she could only return and think of a way.
Actually, she felt aggrieved. All these years, she was also anxious when she could not solve that barrier!
After being slapped by Xiao Ba that day, she was already infuriated. Then, Second Deity’s words completely enraged her.
She swiftly chose to enter seclusion and wanted to find a way no matter what. However, how could this matter be solved so easily?
She thought until her head ached, but she still could not do it. Without a choice, she could only harbor her last hope and ask the First Deity for help.
In the end, she came over and ran into Tuan Zi.
She went forward to pull Tuan Zi. “This isn’t somewhere you can come!”
