Tang San Was Here

Qian Renxue reached out and tapped Chen Xi on the head.

"Eat properly."

"Once we finish, we'll head to Sunset Forest and take a look at the place with the mystic herbs. You can get some proper rest in the carriage as well."

Chen Xi rubbed the spot where she had tapped him, then returned to his sleepy state. "Sister, I understand."

After finishing the bun in his hand, Chen Xi felt truly exhausted. Sitting in his chair, he involuntarily closed his eyes.

Breakfast ended.

Chen Xi drowsily boarded the carriage with Qian Renxue, while Ci Xue and Yang Wushuang sat at the front and drove it.

The carriage set off.

Since Chen Xi did not need to guide them to Sunset Forest, he gradually closed his eyes and began resting in the carriage.

As the carriage traveled onward,

Chen Xi slowly slumped over, his head landing perfectly on Qian Renxue's lap.

Seeing his sleeping little face, Qian Renxue merely smiled. She did not wake him, instead closing her eyes to rest as well and letting him sleep peacefully.

Time passed bit by bit.

Only after they reached Sunset Forest did Qian Renxue speak and wake Chen Xi.

Chen Xi sat up. After several hours of recovery, he felt much better now and no longer looked half-asleep.

Everyone got out of the carriage and entered Sunset Forest.

"Xiao Xi, where exactly is the place with the mystic herbs that you mentioned?"

Qian Renxue asked softly.

Sunset Forest was enormous. If they searched without a destination, who knew how long it would take?

"Deep within Sunset Forest."

"There's an ice mountain and a volcano, with a ring of poison formations around them. It should be very conspicuous."

Chen Xi pointed toward the depths of Sunset Forest.

"Then we'll head deeper in."

"We'll search carefully once we get there."

Qian Renxue led Chen Xi toward the depths of Sunset Forest.

Ci Xue and Yang Wushuang followed behind them, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

Upon reaching the depths of Sunset Forest, Ci Xue released his Mental Power to investigate the area.

After everyone searched carefully,

they finally spotted the ice mountain and volcano ahead, as well as the poison formation that had been laid around the perimeter.

Ci Xue released his Soul Power and formed a faint barrier with it. After enveloping Qian Renxue and Chen Xi within it, he walked into the poison formation.

Yang Wushuang was already skilled in alchemy and poison, and with his strength as an eight-ring Soul Douluo, the poison formation naturally could not harm him.

The group passed through the poison formation, and steep mountain peaks came into view.

Looking at the mountain before him, then at his tiny arms and legs, Chen Xi felt that climbing it himself would be extremely difficult.

The others, on the other hand, looked relaxed. Ci Xue and Yang Wushuang showed no concern.

Qian Renxue's expression did not change at all.

Clearly, none of them cared about the mountain in front of them.

"Sister, do I have to climb up by myself?"

Chen Xi pointed at himself, then at the mountain, and gestured at his own height.

"I'll take you up."

Qian Renxue smiled, picked Chen Xi up, and began climbing the mountain.

Ci Xue and Yang Wushuang remained half a step behind Qian Renxue the entire time.

In less than ten minutes, everyone reached the summit.

Before them lay a sunken mountain hollow, with scorching heat waves spreading out from within it.

"Xiao Xi, is it down there?"

Qian Renxue asked softly.

"Sister, it's down there."

Chen Xi nodded his little head seriously.

Having received Chen Xi's answer, Qian Renxue held him and stepped directly forward into the mountain hollow.

The hollow was roughly a hundred meters above the ground below. The sensation of free-falling made Chen Xi involuntarily close his eyes.

After all, this was far more thrilling than bungee jumping.

When they were about ten meters from the ground, Qian Renxue released her martial soul: the Six-Winged Angel. Two yellow, two purple, and one black soul ring flickered around her.

With a gentle flap of her wings, she landed smoothly.

"All right, you can open your eyes now."

Qian Renxue set Chen Xi down, amusement appearing in her eyes.

Chen Xi had barely steadied himself when he heard an exclamation.

"This is a premium Snow Silkworm among cordyceps!"

"And Cinnabar Lotus, which counters fire poison!"

Yang Wushuang looked at the high-grade medicinal herbs carpeting the ground, his voice filled with astonishment.

"Young Mistress, these are all incredibly precious medicinal herbs."

Yang Wushuang bowed to Qian Renxue.

"Mm, let's head farther in first."

"This should only be the outer area. The truly good things are very likely deeper inside."

As Qian Renxue spoke, she gave Ci Xue a look.

Ci Xue understood and released his martial soul to inspect their surroundings. Only after confirming there was no danger did he shake his head at Qian Renxue.

With Ci Xue's confirmation, Qian Renxue immediately led Chen Xi deeper inside.

Along the way, Yang Wushuang's voice never stopped as he introduced each medicinal herb they encountered.

When they finally reached the deepest area, Yang Wushuang stopped in his tracks. Excitement appeared in his eyes as he looked at the Mystic Herbs before him.

"This is Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot!"

"This one is actually a Aromatic Silk Beauty!"

"There's even an Aromatic Silk Beauty!"

Yang Wushuang's gaze continuously swept across the area.

"Do you know how to harvest them?"

Qian Renxue looked at Yang Wushuang.

"I do!"

"Young Mistress, rest assured. This subordinate will harvest them completely intact."

Yang Wushuang answered, then began harvesting them with barely concealed impatience.

"Ci Xue, go harvest the high-grade medicinal herbs in the outer area as well."

Qian Renxue waved a hand at Ci Xue, then casually found a spot to sit down.

Ci Xue agreed and went to harvest the medicinal herbs.

Chen Xi's gaze swept around the area, as though he were searching for something.

In the end, his eyes settled on the most conspicuous stone wall.

"Sister, can you carve a sentence over there for me?"

Chen Xi tugged at Qian Renxue's sleeve and pointed at the stone wall.

"Carve a sentence?"

"What do you want carved?"

Qian Renxue walked to the stone wall, and a longsword silently appeared in her hand.

"Sister, carve this: The poison formation outside was laid by some unknown person. It is far too crude and can only stop three-year-old children. Signed: Tang San Was Here!"

Chen Xi clenched his hand into a fist.

Following Chen Xi's instructions, Qian Renxue raised her longsword and carved the words one by one into the stone wall.

After Qian Renxue finished carving, Chen Xi looked it over and nodded in satisfaction.

In Chen Xi's view, the sentence was perfect.

Especially the signature at the end—it was truly the finishing touch.

When Dugu Bo returned and saw these words, his expression would definitely be spectacular.
