During the exchange earlier, she had already noticed that the Golden Silkworm Gu was that person's nesis.
To be precise, it was the nesis of the Gu worm inside him.
Was he victim to soone else's Gu, or did he plant a Life Gu on himself?
ng Qianqian couldn't determine this for the mont.
"Si Snake."
ng Qianqian stepped forward, "Are you alright?"
Si Snake's left arm was injured, and fresh blood was gushing out.
Just as ng Qianqian was about to tend to his wound, Lu Yuan nudged ng Lang's backside: "Go."
ng Lang: "Why?"
Lu Yuan: "You've been learning from your sister for so long, can't you handle such a simple injury?"
Chen Long: "Go treat it."
With two mighty mountains pressing down on him, ng Lang grimaced and took out a dicine box from his bundle: "Why is it always !"
"Brother Snake, what kind of illusion did you see?"
Tan'er asked curiously.
Si Snake allowed ng Lang to clumsily treat his wound while calmly answering, "I saw so things from my childhood."
"Oh."
Tan'er sensibly didn't ask further.
"Was that the person who stole your hairpin?"
Si Snake asked ng Qianqian.
ng Qianqian nodded: "Yes."
Si Snake handed a token to ng Qianqian: "I took it from him."
ng Qianqian looked at it in her palm: "This is—"
Si Snake: "The Wind and Fire Order of the Holy Temple."
ng Qianqian: "The Holy Temple of Liuli Island? Is he from the island?"
Si Snake: "Judging from his skills, he indeed seems to possess the martial arts of the Holy Temple."
ng Qianqian muttered suspiciously, "Strange, why would soone from the Holy Temple want to steal my mother's hairpin?"
Ayimulan once imprisoned her father, and her mother's hairpin was in her father's possession.
So, she always believed that only her father would co to retrieve her mother's hairpin.
And since this person's target was the hairpin, he must have been sent by her father.
Now, she was suddenly unsure.
Upon further thought, her father shouldn't have entrusted such an important task to soone else.
The situation was becoming increasingly elusive.
But at the sa ti, she could feel she was getting closer to the truth.
All the mysteries piled up in one place, just waiting for a pair of hands to unveil the truth and disperse the heavy fog.
-
After breaking the illusion, Ancient Phoenix Town appeared even more desolate in the daylight compared to the night, as if a millennia-old loneliness enveloped it, evoking fear.
ng Lang rubbed his arms and said with a shiver, "We won't have to pass through this ghostly place again on our way back to the Central Plains, will we?"
Tan'er pouted: "Coward!"
ng Lang: "...!!"
They rode cals and exited the desert just as night fell.
In the distance, they saw a rippling body of water sparkling under the moonlight.
"That's Liuli Lake."
Si Snake said.
"Water! Water!"
Tan'er jumped off the cal, excitedly running forward.
ng Qianqian remarked, "I never thought Liuli Lake was so close, but I haven't seen any islands yet."
Si Snake said, "Liuli Island is shrouded in mist, which only disperses at the ti between 7 to 9 AM on a sunny day, making the island visible."
ng Lang: "What if it rains tomorrow morning?"
Tan'er punched him on the head: "Don't jinx it!"
ng Lang's jinx didn't work, for the next day the weather was pleasant and sunny. As the morning light gently broke, the mist retreated, revealing an island that seed like a wonderland.
Tan'er gaped: "Is that Liuli Island? It's beautiful!"
The clear blue sky linked with the golden waves, and it seed as if everyone was looking at an immortal's island.
Even ng Qianqian was captivated.
The beauty of Liuli Island is difficult to describe in words.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan held her hand, his slender fingers carrying warmth unique to him, gently caressing the back of her hand.
Her heart felt warm and soft.
She turned her head and gazed at his perfect side profile.
The morning light reflected in his eyes.
He looked like an immortal descending to earth.
ng Qianqian had a strange feeling that he wasn't going to Liuli Island, but rather returning to it.
"Why are you smiling?"
Lu Yuan asked.
ng Qianqian shook her head: "Nothing, I've been in the desert too long; my brain's fried."
She and Lu Yuan were not from the island.
"How do we get on the island?"
ng Qianqian asked.
Si Snake: "Swim over."
ng Qianqian: "..."
Si Snake: "Just kidding."
Si Snake found a small boat nearby.
"Where did the boat co from?"
ng Qianqian asked.
Si Snake: "It's soone else's, we'll borrow it."
ng Qianqian glanced at Si Snake with slight surprise.
This guy had changed a bit, becoming more humorous and witty.
Though he still maintained a calm and composed deanor.
Liuli Island was not truly isolated from the world; the island's inhabitants had to travel and hid so boats nearby.
Si Snake seed to have done this before, skillfully leading everyone onto the boat.
