Chapter 1834 Treasure Land
Chapter 1834 Treasure Land
This thing wasn't an ordinary herb that could be obtained just like that. Even if he picked them regularly, he needed to have them!
"What will happen if you don't meet their requirements?"
San San shrugged. "So be it. They'll punish me at most, but they won't go overboard."
After all, they still had to rely on him to bring people into Clear Water Cliff to obtain those natural treasures.
Chu Liuyue thought for a while. "I do have some. Take them and use them first."
Although San San had said so, she still felt uneasy when she thought of the Black Sword Sect's ruthlessness. It was good to let San San suffer less.
San San was stunned for a moment. He was surprised and nervous. "This… This is too inappropriate, Master—"
"Don't worry. These are on loan to you. Write it into the accounts first; you can pay them back later when you have them." Chu Liuyue smiled and comforted him. Anyway, San San already has that small space; he can have any herbs he wants. As long as he waits a little longer, he will be able to repay the debt with interest.
San San's expression collapsed. "Yes."
He knew that with his master here, he wouldn't be able to take any advantage.
Chu Liuyue stood up. "Alright, that's all for today. Everyone has been running around for a long time. Go back and rest first. If there's anything, we'll talk about it later."
…
The Yue Manor occupied a large area, and after removing those fancy things, it immediately looked much more elegant.
The pavilions were decorated with carved beams and buildings, making them look rather noble. According to San San, he had specially bought them previously.
When they bought it, the mansion was relatively intact. Hence, he basically didn't make a big move.
He wanted to renovate it according to Chu Liuyue's preferences after she came over. However, Chu Liuyue couldn't be bothered to waste her time and said, "Pretty good," and decided to continue living like this.
San San felt sad when he heard that. "Our master was so noble in the past. Her food and clothes were all the best. Now, she's actually not even picky about these…"
Cen Yi glanced at him indifferently. "Master has experienced life and death. She has long been indifferent to these things. It might not be a bad thing, but… If I had known that you had chosen those places, I wouldn't have urged Master to come over."
In other words, he despised it too.
San San was instantly embarrassed and thought about it. "Don't worry, Big Brother. I'll definitely work hard to earn money in the future! I'll strive to let Master buy whatever she wants!"
Cen Yi nodded and left. It's fine as long as he has this realization. With San San's ability, it might not be impossible.
…
The group stayed in Yue Manor.
Their arrival didn't cause any waves in Peach Blossom Dock.
There was almost nobody else who knew that she was the master other than the people in Yue Manor and the few pharmaceutical shops. In addition, most of the people in Peach Blossom Dock were busy with their own matters and rarely paid attention to others, so they naturally did not care about this matter.
This was good too.
…
The night was as cold as water.
There were no stars or moon.
A lamp swayed gently in the wind.
The surroundings were so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Standing by the window, Chu Liuyue could still smell the faint fragrance of peach blossoms in the air. For a moment, she almost thought it was years ago.
It was as if… nothing had changed.
Rong Xiu walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin gently on her shoulder.
There was silence, but there was tacit understanding.
Chu Liuyue suddenly laughed. "Rong Xiu."
"Hm?"
"Don't you think it's amazing? When we first met at Peach Blossom Dock, I really didn't expect that we would be together one day and become husband and wife. Moreover, we returned here again."
The scenery here hadn't changed and seemed to be the same as before. However, many things had indeed changed.
Rong Xiu's thin lips curved slightly. "No, I had decided on you from then."
From the first time I saw you, it was enough for me to spend my life chasing you. No matter how high the mountain is, how vast the sea is, and no matter how vast the world is.
Something seemed to surge in Chu Liuyue's heart, making her feel warm. I wonder how many lifetimes of luck it will take to meet someone who's compatible with my soul, someone who dotes on me like pearls and jade. In comparison, the torture and suffering I've experienced seem much lighter.
"I haven't been here for a few years. Peach Blossom Dock has changed quite a bit," Chu Liuyue muttered. "I didn't expect the ordinary Clear Water Cliff to actually hide such a secret… San San is really lucky."
The mountains on Peach Blossom Dock's side were continuous, and countless mountains stood. Only Clear Water Cliff was struck by lightning, and San San happened to catch up.
Rong Xiu's voice was lazy and low as he smiled faintly. "If we go to those mountains to take a look now, we might encounter some opportunities."
Chu Liuyue smiled. "How can it be that easy? After so many years, isn't there only one Clear Water Cliff in Peach Blossom Dock?"
Although she also wanted such an opportunity, how could such a thing be obtained just like that?
Rong Xiu hugged her slender waist. It was unbelievably soft.
He said slowly, "But it's not a coincidence that there's Clear Water Cliff."
Chu Liuyue paused and turned to look at Rong Xiu.
The two of them were very close. The moment she moved, her soft lips brushed lightly across his cheek.
It was as if a spark had been lit.
Rong Xiu's breathing changed slightly, but he restrained himself and only kissed her lightly on the lips.
She was exhausted from the long journey. She really couldn't withstand any more torture.
Chu Liuyue's face turned slightly red, but she quickly retracted her thoughts.
She pulled back a little to put some distance between them. This way, she could clearly see Rong Xiu's eyes.
Those phoenix eyes were clear and deep as if they could accommodate everything, or as if they could only accommodate her.
"You mean there's more than one treasure land in Peach Blossom Dock?"
Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think?"
Chu Liuyue entered deep thought. Rong Xiu's words make sense. If such an opportunity appeared at Clear Water Cliff, it doesn't mean that it won't appear elsewhere. These mountains are connected to each other. Perhaps there are really other opportunities…
"But other than Clear Water Cliff, there hasn't been any big commotion in Peach Blossom Dock for so many years, let alone any shocking treasures…"
If this Peach Blossom Dock really has potential to be unearthed, why have so many aristocratic families given up on this place?
People die because of fortune, and birds die because of food. They haven't come, so either there is nothing here or… There is something, but it isn't tempting enough for them.
Of course, there is another possibility: they have no idea what is here!
Rong Xiu kissed his wife between the eyes. His voice was low and carried a hint of a smile. "Have you forgotten that you obtained your black shield from Peach Blossom Dock?"
