Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Beating Mu Yunlie Until He Cries!

"Eh? This little flower is quite unique," Yan Chuhua cocked her head,

A small, double-petaled purple flower with an egg-yolk yellow pistil in the center.

Yan Qianyi asked, "Xiaoguang, where did you pick this? Take me there, quick."

Yun Mu said, "It’s already dark, let’s go tomorrow; there might be wild beasts at night."

"It’s fine, we’ll just go and come back; you and Chuhua rest here," Yan Qianyi picked up her backpack, turning on her wristband’s illumination system.

"Then be careful," Yan Chuhua wanted to follow, but having walked all day, she was really tired and could only watch eagerly.

Yan Qianyi followed Xue Xiaoguang for quite a while.

When they arrived at a damp depression, Xue Xiaoguang pointed ahead: "Sis, look, it’s right there."

Yan Qianyi lifted her eyes to see.

Beneath the full moonlight, fireflies danced, resting on the purple flowers, casting a faint glow.

A towering tree stood in solitude, its trunk draped with vines blooming with white flowers.

A thin mist of the night swirled around, like a fairyland.

Joyful stars twinkled in Yan Qianyi’s eyes.

She had found a treasure!

In such a place, the natural spirit was abundant, which would nurture many top-grade medicinal herbs!

To think that in an age of interstellar pollution, such a heavenly place still existed!

Yan Qianyi hurriedly told Xiao Ke, "Xiao Ke, record the coordinates of this place."

"Understood, master; current location coordinates recorded."

"Sis, go over there; I’ll take some photos of you!" Xue Xiaoguang said, "I’ll capture some beautiful pictures of you."

He knew girls loved to have their photos taken, so he had recently made an effort to learn how to take attractive pictures.

After all, a friend who can’t take photos is not a good friend.

And he had never put so much effort into chasing girls.

Actually, he had never pursued any girl.

"Sis, just stand under that tree, and hold on to those vines," Xue Xiaoguang gestured with his hands, searching for the best shooting angle.

"I’m not a monkey," Yan Qianyi took steps forward.

"Then squat down among the flowers, pretending to smell them."

"Now is not the time for tourist photos."

Yan Qianyi walked under the big tree, aiming the wristband’s light at the roots.

At such tree roots, which had already died on the surface, Lingzhi often grew.

"Sis, what are you looking for? The purple flowers are over here."

"I’m looking for Lingzhi, have you ever seen what Lingzhi looks like?"

Xue Xiaoguang thought for a moment, "I haven’t seen it."

"Then have you eaten Shiitake mushrooms?"

Xue Xiaoguang shook his head vigorously, "Mushrooms? How could I eat such toxic stuff? I want to live to two hundred! Though I’ve heard that rich people eat that; I really don’t understand their tastes."

"The mushrooms rich people eat aren’t poisonous."

Xue Xiaoguang was surprised, "There are non-toxic mushrooms in this world?"

Nowadays, ordinary people hardly ever ate mushrooms.

Because the mushrooms they could come across all grew in the wild and were poisonous, just like the ones they had encountered on their journey that day.

Only a small portion of rich people could afford to eat non-toxic mushrooms.

"Of course there are, come help me look for something that looks like a mushroom," Yan Qianyi said.

Underneath the tree roots, there was a dense cluster of wildflowers and grass, as well as vines; it wasn’t easy to search.

"Sis, what do you want that thing for?"

"Stop talking, come help me look."

"Okay!" Xue Xiaoguang immediately ran over and reached into the ground, pulling something out, "Is this it?"

Yan Qianyi excitedly looked at the Yellow Ganoderma in Xue Xiaoguang’s hands.

Though it was not top-notch, it was still of superior quality.

She quickly opened her backpack, "Come on, put it in, and be careful."

"Big sis, what do you want this thing for? It looks so weird."

Xue Xiaoguang really couldn’t understand, weren’t they here to be ’Flower Picking Thieves’?

"You don’t need to worry; anyhow, it’s good stuff." Yan Qianyi happily slung the backpack over her shoulder.

Actually, with today’s advanced technology, Lingzhi could be cultivated artificially.

But now, people believe in technology, and in a high-tech medical environment, everyone looks down on the ancient traditional medical methods, so many things have already disappeared.

Yan Qianyi looked around again.

Xue Xiaoguang closely followed her, "Big sis, I heard you got married. When will you introduce me to my brother-in-law? We are all family now."

"We’ll talk about it later."

She found it hard to even see Mu Yunlie once.

Actually, what she wanted to find here the most was something that could detoxify him.

"Don’t just brush this off. I’m telling you, with more people in your maternal family, he wouldn’t dare to bully you. Later, when you let us meet, let him see how tough and imposing I am, to put some pressure on him."

Yan Qianyi turned to look at Xue Xiaoguang and couldn’t help but laugh a little.

Xue Xiaoguang wasn’t as tall as Mu Yunlie, but he indeed looked robust.

With Mu Yunlie’s skills, beating ten or eight Xue Xiaoguangs would not be a problem.

However, Mu Yunlie didn’t seem to have any special ability, while Xue Xiaoguang’s special ability was speed, and with this enhancement, it was hard to say.

"What are you laughing about? Don’t you disbelieve me, my brother-in-law is definitely no match for me. I heard from Chu Hua that brother-in-law is very handsome, a pretty boy, who usually isn’t much capable."

"Pretty boy?"

"Yeah, although it might sound a bit rude..."

"If you ever do get the chance to meet him, you’d best not say it in front of him."

Otherwise, he might choke her.

Mu Yunlie chokes people viciously; it almost caused her psychological trauma.

"I definitely wouldn’t mention it. Even if he’s a pretty boy, he’s still my brother-in-law. As long as he’s nice to you, I’ll be nice to him. If he’s not, I’ll make him cry."

Yan Qianyi suddenly looked towards the area not far behind Xue Xiaoguang, "There’s a noise over there, let’s go check it out."

She walked up to the cliff face, examining the vines hanging down from above.

The vines gently swayed.

"Big sis, it’s just the wind." Xue Xiaoguang said.

Yan Qianyi shook her head.

If these vines were stuck to the cliff face, they wouldn’t sway like that when blown by the wind.

Behind this, there should be a cave; these vines seemed to be hanging in mid-air.

Yan Qianyi reached out her hand and pushed aside the vines.

There was indeed a cave inside!

Suddenly, a large swarm of bats rushed out...

Chu Hua and Yun Mu sat by the fire, gnawing on wild fruits.

Seeing Chu Hua yawn several times, Yun Mu said, "You rest first; I’ll watch the fire."

Chu Hua rubbed her eyes, "No, I want to wait for Qianyi to come back before resting."

No sooner had her voice fallen than they heard footsteps.

"Qianyi!" Chu Hua quickly stood up, but the arrivals were not Yan Qianyi and Xue Xiaoguang.

Instead, they were two men dressed in instructor uniforms.

"Students, due to special circumstances, the outdoor comprehensive training is suspended. Please come back with us."

Yun Mu stood up with a puzzled look at the two men.

Chu Hua narrowed her eyes and suddenly exclaimed, "Liars! You’re lying!"
