Chapter 124 Finding the Snow Lotus of Tianshan
"Never mind all that, they're all men, as long as Qiuqin and I are safe..." Dongfang Wan'er comforted herself.
As night fell, the atmosphere in the mountains grew increasingly eerie. Dongfang Wan'er held Qiuqin's hand tightly, reminding her to be careful. "Qiuqin, be careful..."
"Yes, miss, you are too..."
At this moment, Dongfang Wan'er suddenly felt a chill creep up from behind, and a sense of unease welled up in her heart. But she dared not turn around, for fear of causing unnecessary panic.
Ye Jiuchen walked at the front, holding a torch to illuminate the road ahead.
Dongfang Wan'er followed closely behind, constantly keeping an eye on the surrounding movements.
When they reached the edge of a cliff, Ye Jiuchen stopped and pointed to the distant mountain peaks, saying, "That's where the Tianshan Snow Lotus grows. We need to get there as soon as possible."
Dongfang Wan'er looked in the direction Ye Jiuchen pointed and saw a towering mountain peak standing in the distance, its summit covered with a layer of white snow.
She couldn't help but gasp, thinking: How easy would it be to climb such a high mountain? Moreover, there might be all sorts of dangers lurking on the mountain, such as wild beasts and traps.
Just as Dongfang Wan'er was hesitating, Ye Jiuchen had already begun to walk along the path along the cliff edge.
He was agile and easily overcame each obstacle. Seeing this, Dongfang Wan'er had no choice but to muster her courage and follow.
After a difficult trek, they finally reached the mountainside. Here, the mist swirled, severely limiting visibility. Dongfang Wan'er felt somewhat exhausted, but she knew she couldn't stop to rest; she had to continue. Just then, a gust of wind howled past, almost knocking them off their feet.
"Watch out!" Ye Jiuchen shouted. He grabbed Dongfang Wan'er's arm to prevent her from being blown over by the wind.
Dongfang Wan'er gave him a grateful look.
"That was close! That scared me to death!"
Dongfang Wan'er patted her chest...
As the mountain became increasingly steep, their pace gradually slowed. Ye Jiuchen climbed carefully, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
Suddenly, he heard a deep roar coming from afar. He looked up alertly and saw a huge white tiger appear on the hillside not far away.
"Oh no, it's the White Tiger!" Ye Jiuchen exclaimed.
"Wan'er, hide..." Ye Jiuchen quickly called out to remind her...
Dongfang Wan'er pulled Qiuqin behind a boulder; she absolutely couldn't hold them back at a time like this…
"Master... Shadow Guards, on alert..." An Ye rushed forward and stood behind Ye Jiuchen...
The guards also drew their longswords, ready for battle…
The white tiger seemed to sense their presence and slowly walked towards them.
Its eyes gleamed with ferocity, and it occasionally let out threatening roars.
"Roar... Roar..."
Dongfang Wan'er hid behind a rock, gripping her longsword tightly, ready for battle.
"Miss..." Qiuqin was a little nervous and excited as she saw such a big tiger for the first time...
"Qiuqin, hide well..." Dongfang Wan'er was speechless at the girl's reaction.
"Make your move..." Ye Jiuchen said without hesitation and swung his sword.
"Charge!" Dark Night charged forward, sword in hand...
The guards also rushed forward...
Baihu is very clever; he knows he can't defeat Ye Jiuchen and his group...
He deftly and nimbly evaded their attacks, then turned and lunged at Dongfang Wan'er.
"Qiuqin, don't move..." Dongfang Wan'er saw that Baihu had abandoned his fight with Ye Jiuchen and the others and was rushing towards her...
"Do you think I'm a pushover?" Dongfang Wan'er laughed in exasperation...
"Roar..." The white tiger roared and pounced on Dongfang Wan'er...
"Wan'er. Be careful..." Upon seeing this, Ye Jiuchen immediately rushed over...
Dongfang Wan'er dodged the white tiger's attack by turning to the side and thrust out her sword in the process.
The white tiger, in pain, roared and launched another attack.
"Roar roar roar roar...!!"
In the fierce battle, Dongfang Wan'er gradually gained the upper hand. She discovered that although the white tiger was ferocious, its movements were relatively slow.
Dongfang Wan'er continued to fire silver needles at the white tiger; all the needles were poisonous.
There were also tranquilizers being continuously applied to the white tiger...
Dongfang used his agility to constantly dodge Baihu's attacks and look for opportunities to counterattack.
The white tiger felt its body getting heavier and heavier, and its head was spinning...
"Awooo..." The white tiger cried out in pain and collapsed heavily onto the snow...
"Phew...it's finally solved!" Dongfang Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed like Dongfang Wan'er and the White Tiger had been locked in a tug-of-war for a long time, but in reality, it was only a fleeting moment. It just goes to show how potent Dongfang Wan'er's poison was...
Dongfang wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Ye Jiuchen.
Ye Jiuchen rushed over, still feeling a lingering sense of fear...
"Wan'er, are you hurt...?"
"No, look, I've even subdued the White Tiger," Dongfang Wan'er said triumphantly...
Ye Jiuchen checked her over and, finding no injuries, gave her a thumbs-up, praising, "Wan'er, you're amazing! Don't be reckless next time. If something like this happens, hide behind me..."
Dongfang Wan'er nodded...
"Your Highness, that was impressive..." Dark Night ran over, looking at the white tiger lying on the ground...
"Master, what should we do with the White Tiger...?"
"Wan'er, you're the one who got the white tiger, what do you suggest we do with it..."
Dongfang Wan'er has never had a pet before and wants to take one home to raise...
I want to keep it!
"Alright... Dark Night, order a few men to stay here and guard the White Tiger..." Ye Jiuchen looked at Dongfang Wan'er with doting eyes. He could tell what she wanted to do just by looking at her expression...
"Your Highness, if the white tiger suddenly wakes up and becomes uncontrollable, we'll have to kill it..." Dark Night said...
"Don't worry, it's been poisoned by me, and it won't wake up without the antidote..."
"That's good. You guys stay here and keep watch..." Dark Night selected four people...
"Yes…"
"Let's continue our journey..." Without another word, Ye Jiuchen took Dongfang Wan'er's hand. At this moment, he didn't care about the difference between men and women...
"Qiuqin, come here, hold the sword and I'll pull you..." An Ye handed the sword to Qiuqin...
"Forget it, I can walk a little easier by myself..." Qiuqin rolled her eyes at her late night. Walking with the sword was really difficult; the tools her young lady had given her were much more convenient...
Dongfang Wan'er smiled inwardly: "A mouth substitute... but Ye Jiuchen simply wouldn't let go of her hand..."
Finally, they reached the top of the mountain.
"Phew, finally reached the top..." Dongfang Wan'er immediately released Ye Jiuchen's hand and stretched...
"Miss, be careful..." Qiuqin quickly reminded her...
"We've reached the summit, but why haven't we seen any Tian Shan snow lotuses...?"
Dongfang Wan'er saw that the mountaintop was serene, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
"It's alright, Wan'er, don't worry... Let's look around..." Ye Jiuchen said calmly...
"Okay then~_~"
Dongfang Wan'er and Qiu Qin excitedly searched everywhere for traces of the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
Meanwhile, Ye Jiuchen and An Ye vigilantly observed the surrounding movements.
