Chapter 152: Found a Treasure

ret it""Reaching the highest heavens, descending to the deepest underworld, I would never regret it!" She wrapped her arms around his slender waist and smiled faintly."Good." A wave of emotion spread...Ancient people were conservative in their thinking. She didn't know if he could accept the fact that she was a time traveler. What if he didn't believe her What if he felt like she was deceiving him emotionally Then she would feel uneasy inside.

With a hollowness in her heart, she suddenly became anxious and apprehensive.

"Fool, no matter how long, I'll wait for you." He always knew she had many secrets, ones she didn't want to share. He wouldn't pressure her, as long as she was by his side, that was all that mattered.

"Well, not for too long." Someday she would tell him everything, but not now.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

"How is it going Is there still no news from the Fifth Princess of Dongyue" Rong Yue frowned, her beautiful brows furrowed as she looked down at the two trusted aides. "What about the Crown Prince of Dongyue Any progress"

Two guards truthfully replied: “Our people met with those of the Prince of Dongyue at the bottom of the cliff. They searched for several days but found nothing. It is said that the Prince of Dongyue is already furious.”

"Find, keep looking! The living must be seen, and the dead must be found!" He still believes that Su Qingying has an inseparable relationship with Yunling. Before he gets his answers, he must find her.

"Yes."

Looking at the two dark guards vanish like ghosts, Situ Wan'er couldn't help but softly say, "Senior brother, it is said that this time even the Dragon Shadow Guards were deployed by Xuan Yuan Luo Chen, and there is still no news of him. Do you think they..."

Sishu Wan'er wasn't indifferent to Rong Yue's concern over Su Qingying. It was just that she couldn't understand it.

No matter what, she hoped the arrogant and cheerful Fifth Princess would be safe and sound.

Rubbing her weary brow, Rong Yue was also a little unsure, "Well, I hope they are safe and sound."

“Brother, you haven’t had a proper meal in ages. You need to take care of your health.” Seeing him like this, Situ Wan'er felt a pang of pain in her heart. She brought a bowl of steaming lotus seed soup and placed it before him. Rong Yue glanced at it but had no appetite whatsoever.

On the other side, Su Qingying, Jun Liye, and the three of them had already walked for several hours along the river. The dense forest ahead was still endless.

The knee-high grass swayed in the wind, a sea of emerald green as far as the eye could see. Even the maddest heart would find solace here.

“The Palace Master is right, following this river should lead us to the exit. However, as we walked, I felt a strange unease.” Yu Feng stopped ahead, waiting for them to catch up. This place was beautiful, with lush grass, surrounding trees, mountains and flowing water. Yet, Yu Feng inexplicably felt oppressed.

"The animals, they're very rare here," Su Qingying stated simply. She had noticed the difference as soon as she approached this place.

Rather than rare, it's more like nonexistent. Upstream, animals like snakes, rabbits, and wild boars were practically visible with every few steps, but here, there wasn't even the sound of birdsong; it was eerily silent. Surprisingly, Jun Liye's observations in this area were no less sharp than Su Qingying's.

The wind howled, rustling the grass and leaves, adding a touch of horror to the already eerie silence.

Su Qingying's nose twitched, catching a whiff of something unusual in the air. She frowned, her expression peculiar, "Have you guys smelled something different in the air"

"What's different It all smells like grass and trees." Yu Feng shrugged, not noticing anything unusual.

Su Qingying turned her eyes to Jun Liye, and Jun Liye shook his head in return, "Ying'er, what do you think"

"Sulfur." Yes, it was sulfur.

In her past life, she had been exposed to a lot of chemicals, as sulfur was one of the main components of a powerful weapon.

If it were sulfur, that would explain why there are no other animals here.

This was the first time both Jun Liye and Yu Feng had heard this word. They had no idea what it meant. Yu Feng scratched his head, looking at her in confusion, "Sulfur What's that"

“It can’t be wrong. Sulfur is a metal sulfide, appearing as pale yellow brittle crystals or powder with a distinctive odor. It is harmful to both humans and animals. However, sulfur's toxicity isn't very strong; it shouldn't affect the entire downstream ecosystem of animals. This can only mean that there's not just sulfur here, but a considerable amount.” At this point, Su Qingying’s entire phoenix eyes lit up, shining like a pearl from the depths of the sea. The brilliance in her eyes accentuated her peerless beauty, making her appearance as captivating as poetry and painting, so beautiful that one couldn't look away.

Nobody knows what sulfur means better than her, it's gold in these chaotic times!

“Come on, let’s go take a look.” Su Qingying excitedly pulled the two bewildered people along, quickening her pace. After walking for about a few kilometers, Su Qingying looked at the golden sulfur pile that appeared before her eyes and almost laughed out loud, "As expected, I was right."

I never thought they would turn out to be so fortunate, finding all these treasures because of their misfortune.

"Palace Master, since this sulfur is so powerful, we might as well destroy them." Without noticing Su Qingying's mischievous smile like a Shiba Inu, he said, reaching for a fire starter from his bosom, ready to burn them.

Goodness gracious!

Su Qingying quickly snatched the firestarter from his hand and threw it far away. She raised her hand and slapped him on the head, scaring her poor heart almost to the point of insufficient blood supply!

"Stupid! If you dare destroy them, I'll skin you alive!"

Yu Feng clutched her head, rubbing it as if trying to massage away the throbbing pain. Her head felt like it was going to explode! This little girl really knew how to pack a punch!

"But didn't you just say..."

"Yes, I said sulfur is poisonous, but on the other hand, it's a priceless treasure!" Su Qingying rolled her eyes at him fiercely. If this fool had actually burned the sulfur just now, she swore she would make him understand why flowers are so red!

"Ying'er, what can this sulfur do" Seeing her so concerned about these sulfur, Jun Liye couldn't help but wonder, completely unable to understand what use they could have.

"The secret, you'll find out later. It's a secret weapon that could turn the tide of things in the future." With a sly grin, Su Qingying feigned mystery and refused to tell them. She turned her head and warned someone fiercely, "Yu Feng, your Lu Yue Palace is not allowed to meddle with this sulfur. If you dare to spread it, I won't let you off!"

"Lord Palace Master, you're the head of Luyue Palace. How could I possibly dare to lay a finger on them" Besides, he didn't have this kind of peculiar taste, did he These things almost suffocated him; what reason would he have to target them

"Humph, better!"

It was clear she really cared about these sulfur compounds. Jun Liye shook her head helplessly, well, if she liked them, it didn't matter.

"Ying'er, we have now reached the downstream end. The surrounding cliffs are steep with no way out. How can we get out" They had arrived at the end of the downstream, but still couldn't see a way out. Jun Liye's heart sank involuntarily.

"The wind-defying interface felt cool, "This cliff is too smooth, even light skills can't go up, unless we can fly."

"Fly Right, how could I have not thought of that!" Su Qingying pounded her palms together, a bright smile illuminating her face. "I have an idea."fore her, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei hesitated for a moment before gently placing her own small hand into it. She allowed him to lead her out of the palanquin.Holding her hand tightly, as soon as they approac...
