(Girls' Literature)
Who could have imagined that the Peach Blossom Forest, which had once made everyone nearby tremble at the mere mention of it and whose fame had spread far and wide, would vanish just like that?
The Ten Mile Peach Forest had shed petals all over the ground, leaving behind only bare branches. That woman truly had been a peach demon; upon her death, she too transformed into petals that fell to the ground. Carried by the wind, they drifted toward the spot where that figure had turned to ash, as though bound by some lingering tether.
Ye Tian did not spare it a glance. If his strength had not been extraordinary, he would likely have become dry bones and flesh buried beneath the roots by now, perhaps to be slowly chewed over and savored by that woman.
He walked toward the little house. He had yet to examine the mysteries within it carefully.
He passed rows of withered trees and stepped over peach blossoms carpeting the ground.
Ye Tian arrived before the bamboo house. The figure in the pink Taoist robe had indeed vanished.
Yet when he tried to step inside the bamboo house, he discovered that something seemed to stand before its door. It was as though an invisible barrier had separated him from the house.
Ye Tian suddenly recalled what that woman had said before—that this place could not be entered casually.
Could there be some taboo here?
He seemed to have seen several items before that had all been picked out by that woman. Leaving aside anything else, they had at least been as valuable as that map. Now that he wished to enter again and search around, perhaps he might turn up something good—perhaps even an opportunity.
But now he could not get in.
