Chapter 195 Awakening Green Mountain

Under the pitch-black night sky, a dilapidated carriage slowly travels through the mountains, the low snorting of the horses sounding exceptionally clear in the boundless silence.

There were no lights on in the carriage, and the small space was crammed with more than a dozen children of all ages, filled with an unpleasant smell.

Xue Lan was squeezed into a corner. There was a little boy sitting next to her. The boy had an injured arm and had been running a fever since Xue Lan got on the bus. He was shivering in the corner.

Xue Lan held him in her arms and used her spiritual power to heal his injuries.

The middle-aged woman who had previously disguised herself as a vegetable vendor sat at the exit of the carriage, while her companion drove it from outside.

In the pitch-black surroundings, Xue Lan touched the forehead of the little boy in her arms and sighed softly.

She thought of Ji Jinjin.

Her third junior sister had been frightened on the battlefield when she was first rescued, and she also had a high fever like this. Thinking about it carefully, that was more than ten years ago.

The little boy in her arms seemed to be having a terrible nightmare, clinging tightly to one of Xue Lan's fingers. Xue Lan cast a small spell on him, turning the jolting of the carriage into a gentle sway. Xue Lan opened her eyes, and a streak of crimson light flashed from her sleeve, flying out through a gap in the carriage.

Outside the carriage, in the boundless forest, a little girl carrying a magnificent bow and arrows leaped among the tree branches, looking like a graceful bird. Xue Tong used the connection between her and Xue Lan to track the other's location, and for a moment felt incredibly cool.

Suddenly, a familiar aura appeared. Xue Tong saw a streak of light flying towards her. The little girl's expression changed drastically, and she dodged to the side.

The streak of light crashed directly into the tree trunk behind Xue Tong, and upon landing, it transformed into a round, chubby Crimson Jade Spider with eight large, jet-black eyes staring at Xue Tong, its gaze filled with incomprehension and grievance.

Xue Tong was getting a headache from this guy's stare. The little girl watched the Crimson Jade Spider happily running towards her, and then shouted sharply:

"Xue Xiaofei, you stand right there!"

The Scarlet Jade Spider suddenly stopped in its tracks, looking flustered and uneasy.

“If you take another step forward, I’ll leave you and your brother outside next time.”

That's right, Xue Lan's two Scarlet Jade Spiders are both male, and they flaunt their names like Little Scarlet and Little Jade every day. Xue Tong really can't stand it.

As soon as the little girl finished speaking, a tearful look of grievance appeared behind Xue Xiaofei's eight big eyes.

She covered her face.

Wouldn't it be better for a male spider to look like a male spider?

"lead the way!"

Xue Tong softly uttered these two words, and Xue Xiaofei quickly leaped on the branch, flying in one direction, looking like a round ball.

Xue Tong immediately followed, wondering as they walked if Xue Lan had fed the creature a little too much. She'd have to make them both lose weight when they got back.

The cheerful Xue Xiaofei had no idea that she was just out doing some work when her nominal aunt plotted to cut her food in half.

If it knew, it would definitely throw a tantrum and roll on its back right there.

Half an hour later, the man and the spider arrived at the foot of a mountain. In front of them, amidst the tall weeds, was half a stone tablet. Xue Tong stepped forward and touched it with her fingertip, revealing three large characters engraved on the stone tablet: "Awakening Green Mountain".

The little girl extinguished the light from her fingertips and sighed softly, "So we've gone into the mountains."

"Let's go in and take a look."

The two walked up the mountain together. Xue Tong's expression was not good. In recent days, she and Xue Lan had visited many famous mountains to visit the mountain gods. Never before had any mountain peak given her such a strange feeling. The deathly aura on Xingqing Mountain was so heavy that it was like a cemetery, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Xue Xiaofei seemed to sense Xue Tong's unease and secretly moved closer to her. When the little girl noticed, she tapped her front paws, which probably meant, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Xue Tong couldn't help but chuckle. These two little spiders, having been raised by Xue Lan for so long, were starting to resemble Lord Wolf more and more.

Thinking this way, Xue Tong felt much less nervous. She thought that since Xue Lan had already used her as bait, her goal was obviously not just to kill the slave traders. So far, that person hadn't made any plans for her. She might as well stay here and follow Xue Xiaofei at a distance.

Xue Tong followed the narrow mountain path upwards, and when he reached the halfway point, he saw a small mountain god temple. In this quiet and dark mountain, a mountain god temple suddenly appeared on a small slope, with faint light shining from within.

"How strange!" Xue Tong smiled faintly, "Let's go take a look."

Inside the dilapidated mountain god temple, the fire crackled and popped, with a pile of embers radiating heat nearby. Someone shoveled through the embers and pulled out several roasted sweet potatoes.

The hot roasted sweet potatoes emitted a sweet aroma. The woman dressed in black used a wooden stick to poke one of them and handed it to the black-clad swordsman beside her: "Single sword."

The black-clad swordsman took the sweet potato and lowered his voice to the person next to him, saying, "Mingcheng, someone's here."

The woman called Mingcheng's eyes lit up. For Dan Dao to speak like that, he must be neither a bandit nor a slave trader.

That is something that cannot be said.

The woman gave the two men opposite her a wink, and they all subtly tightened their grip on the weapons at their waists.

Xue Tong stood in the shadows of the forest, looking at the mountain god temple, hesitating whether to go over and take a look.

Xue Lan's voice came to her ears, as if it were right next to her, yet also as if it were from a very far place.

"Reached?"

Xue Tong's wavering heart suddenly calmed down.

I saw someone halfway up the mountain. I'm wondering if I should go check on them. How are you doing over there?

Xue Lan had been led to a huge cave, which looked like a gaping maw that was about to swallow all the helpless children in front of her.

The girl's voice was soft, with a hint of indulgent laughter: "Xue Tong, make your own decision."

Now that you're a human being, you should make your own decisions, regardless of the host or the main system.

Xue Tong thought to herself that she was really being raised by Xue Lan without any restrictions, but she felt pretty good about it.

The little girl looked at Xue Xiaofei at her feet and said, "Let's go up and take a look."

So, after everyone in the temple had been on edge for a quarter of an hour, maintaining a semblance of calm, soft footsteps were heard outside the temple gate.

Everyone looked outside and saw a little girl in a scarlet dress slowly walking up the mountain path. Her hair was styled in two cute buns, which were decorated with adorable little flowers.

Such a pretty and lively outfit would suit any big city, like a young lady from a wealthy family.

However, if placed in Xingqingshan, it would be extremely strange.
