Chapter 268 The Mysterious Girl
Ye Nanxiao nodded and said to Lan Yuning, "Lan Yuning, it's been a long time. I didn't expect to see you here."
Lan Yuning's ability to get into Shrek Academy is enough to demonstrate her talent, but among the core disciples of the Martial Soul Department, Lan Yuning is like a nobody, and she acts with extreme humility.
Lan Yuning's excessively low-key behavior has shrouded her in mystery, and now that she is in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, this veil has become even more mysterious.
"Didn't expect that, did you? Hehe." Lan Yuning hugged the watering can and continued watering.
"Has Ye Nanxiao come here again to obtain the immortal herb?" Lan Yuning asked with a smile.
Ye Nanxiao nodded, then shook his head.
"I'm here to collect the fairy herb."
Upon hearing this, Lan Yuning looked puzzled, clearly not understanding the meaning of Ye Nanxiao's words.
"Um, I don't quite understand what you mean. When I came in, I saw your message on a rock outside that said you were here, so I guessed you came here to pick some immortal herbs," Lan Yuning said.
"Hmm? A rock?" Ye Nanxiao suddenly remembered that he had indeed left a message on a large rock, intending to let Huo Yuhao see it when he came later.
I just didn't expect Lan Yuning to be at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"And what about you?" Ye Nanxiao scanned the surrounding area with his spiritual power but did not find any extra soul power reactions. In addition, the size of the cabin was obviously for a single person.
Clearly, Lan Yuning came here alone.
"Me? Well, I came here hoping to find some opportunities. After all, I'm just a support-type Soul Master, and I don't want you to have powerful Martial Souls." Lan Yuning smiled, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes.
"Would you like to come in and sit down? I've collected some flower petals these past few days and made some flower tea. Would you like to try some?" Lan Yuning carried the kettle and walked towards the cabin, extending an invitation to Ye Nanxiao as she went.
"Okay." Ye Nanxiao nodded and followed Lan Yuning's steps.
The Snow Emperor was always floating around her, and with the Frozen Flower present, Lan Yuning could not sense the Snow Emperor's presence.
Ye Nanxiao had no bad feeling; Lan Yuning probably didn't mean him any harm.
If there are any special circumstances, Xue Di can bring the situation under control instantly.
Currently, Ye Nanxiao also wants to figure out how Lan Yuning, as a support-type Soul Master, managed to get to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well by herself, passing through the heavy poisonous fog and flowers on the outside.
The cabin contained only a wooden bed, a table, and a small wooden stool; there was no other furniture.
Lan Yuning took a small stool from the bracelet on her left wrist, bent down and placed it on the opposite side of the table.
Two small white porcelain cups were filled with pale yellow floral tea.
Lan Yuning sat down on the side closest to the inside of the room and gestured for Ye Nanxiao to sit down and enjoy the flower tea.
Holding the cup, Ye Nanxiao took a small sip, a delicate fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth, gradually relaxing his tense nerves.
"This is a flower tea that my grandfather taught me to make when I was little. It's made with the petals of the calming flower, and it has a calming and relaxing effect," Lan Yuning said with a smile.
"Good tea, I feel sleepy after relaxing." Ye Nanxiao slumped on the table, bringing the teacup close to his face, his whole body limp like a boneless salted fish.
"Ye Nanxiao still loves salted fish as always. If you're tired, you can rest here for a while," Lan Yuning said with a faint smile.
"No need, I'll head into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well after I finish my tea, so I won't bother you any longer." Ye Nanxiao gently rubbed the wavy curves on the small white porcelain cup with the pad of his index finger.
Lan Yuning held the cup with both hands, her gaze fixed on the flower tea, watching the petals floating on the surface of the tea rise and fall slightly.
For a moment, both of them fell silent.
After finishing his flower tea, Ye Nanxiao stood up, stretched his neck, and smiled as he expressed his gratitude to Lan Yuning, "Lan, thank you for the flower tea. It was delicious. Thank you for your hospitality."
After saying that, Ye Nanxiao pushed the small stool back to its original position, waved to Lan Yuning, and turned to walk out of the small wooden house.
Just as Ye Nanxiao stepped out of the cabin, Lan Yuning suddenly said, "Student Ye, please wait a moment!"
Ye Nanxiao paused, wanting to walk away quickly, even to slip away on the floating ice—ah, these were all subconscious habits instilled by Ju Zi.
"Is there something you need?" Ye Nanxiao asked, turning around.
Lan Yuning took out a white box from her bracelet and said, "My grandfather was a very powerful Soul Master, and also a florist who loved flowers. It was from my grandfather that I learned about the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."
Ye Nanxiao glanced at the white box, which was about the size of a human head and whose material was unknown.
Lan Yuning glanced at Ye Nanxiao, and as if she had made up her mind, slowly opened the box.
A faint pink glow emanated from the box, and a delicate fragrance instantly filled the entire cabin; one whiff was refreshing and invigorating.
"A fragrant and exquisite fairy product?" The moment he smelled the fragrance, Ye Nanxiao recognized the source of the aroma.
"As expected, you know about the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item." Lan Yuning picked up the item from the box; it was a pale pink petal.
"I had some interaction with the Fragrant Jade Flower Immortal Herb when I came here before. It was thanks to the Fragrant Jade Flower Immortal Herb that I was able to pick the immortal herb." Ye Nanxiao glanced at the petals in Lan Yuning's hand and asked, "So, what do you want me to help you with, Lan Yuning?"
"I want you to help me obtain a magical herb." Lan Yuning's expression was slightly serious.
"I barely made it through the poisonous fog and got here thanks to this petal of the Fragrant Silk Fairy. But the Fragrant Silk Fairy has no intention of helping me. I still haven't been able to find it to meet. Maybe I got in by trickery and it doesn't want to see me."
"I need this immortal herb, the Azure Orchid, to evolve my martial soul." Lan Yuning looked at Ye Nanxiao with a serious expression.
Ye Nanxiao sat back down on the stool, and after listening to what Lan Yuning said, a question mark immediately appeared above his head.
Would this talkative flower, Youxiang Qiluo Fragrance, ever hide from people again?
Isn't this flower the one that loves excitement the most?
Could it be that the talkative flower has set up a bewildering array at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, preventing outsiders from disturbing it?
"Lan, you said that the Fragrant and Exquisite Immortal Item does not want to see you. What do you mean by that?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Lan Yuning frowned slightly and said, "You didn't enter the mist! As expected, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item doesn't want to see me."
"Every time I try to enter the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, it's like walking into a fog. No matter which way I go, I always end up coming back to the starting point. My grandfather once told me that the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item is the acting master of this treasure land within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. The fact that I can't enter can only mean that the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item doesn't want to see me."
After Lan Yuning finished speaking, she sighed softly.
Ye Nanxiao, who was completely confused, stood up, gave Lan Yuning a deep look, and then said, "Let's go, I'll go take a look now. What mist are you talking about? I didn't see this thing when I came last time."
Was Grandpa a Soul Master, or a florist who loved flowers?
Those who can enter the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire are either extremely fortunate or possess profound strength.
If it weren't for the fact that extreme ice can overcome all poisons, and that he had the Snow Emperor by his side, Ye Nanxiao wouldn't have dared to come to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well alone. Who knows how many plant-type soul beasts with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation are hidden inside.
A slight misstep could cost you your life here, where you could become nourishment.
Ye Nanxiao remembered that Lan Yuning's martial soul was a bell, and she mainly cultivated the support type.
Even though she was a support-type Soul Master, Ye Nanxiao still felt that the girl in front of him was full of mystery, as she was able to reach this place alone and even though she held the petals of the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item in her hand.
Lan Yuning's eyes shone brightly, and she didn't even have time to clean up the cups on the table before running to Ye Nanxiao's side.
On the way, Ye Nanxiao transmitted his voice to Xue Di, saying, "Xue'er, do you think it's because we were too domineering last time that the talkative Hua created a layer of mist to cover the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes and prevent outsiders from entering?"
"Last time, I was indeed incredibly domineering, but it's also possible that you took too many immortal herbs last time," the Snow Emperor said calmly, floating beside Ye Nanxiao, glancing at Lan Yuning from time to time.
Just as Ye Nanxiao had thought, Xue Di also found the girl to be very mysterious.
As they drew closer to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, a faint white mist began to form around them.
"It's here! It's this white mist that finally made me turn back," Lan Yuning said nervously. She had been blocked by this white mist many times.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at the white mist, then waved his hand, summoning an ice megaphone. He put it to his lips and said, "Chatterbox! I'm here, open the door!"
Lan Yuning stood to the side, her mouth slightly agape, her face filled with astonishment, her eyes seeming to say, "What are you doing?"
Ye Nanxiao's voice carried far and wide, resounding throughout the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
The sound pierced through the white mist and reached the spring.
All the plants growing by the spring turned their flowers toward the direction from which the sound came.
Some of the plump, fragrant Qiluo Fairy Flowers trembled. It remembered the owner of that voice; the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was almost destroyed last time!
"Oh no! That human is here again! Octagon! Jiao Jiao! We have to move!! Hurry! Hurry! Let's move the whole spring today! We haven't even had enough of this peaceful life! I haven't even had enough of basking in the sun yet!"
The fragrant and exquisite fairy flower shook its body wildly, and cries of lamentation echoed continuously.
"Bajiao! Jiaojiao! Why aren't you two reacting? We should team up right now!"
The fiery apricot blossoms shrank their petals, desperately protecting their heart.
It still remembered that last time, that crazy woman almost sent it to heaven!
Just as the Fragrant Fairy Flower was wailing in despair, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass became much quieter. Its rhomboid leaves swayed gently, and a faint mist of frost swirled around its body.
"Stop yelling, Youyou, this human came back to pick me up!" said the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass.
"Huh?"
Lu Zi shamelessly begs for a recommendation vote!
