Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 325 Phoenix Mountain

Qingqing wouldn't listen; it only felt wronged. "We're soulmates! How can we be the same?"

"I'm being completely open and honest, but you're hiding things from me!"

Seeing that it was angry, Feng Siyue quickly said, "I was wrong, I promise I won't hide it from you next time!"

The little guy stared at her.

"Hmph, you admit your mistake pretty quickly!"

Qingqing wasn't really angry; after all, Sister Ya must have her reasons for not letting her talk about it.

"Then... how do we find the incarnation of the law?"

Feng Siyue asked tentatively and cautiously.

Based on what Qingqing said tonight, I never expected that the seemingly most unlikely method would actually be the simplest and safest.

Qingqing retorted irritably, "How should I know? I'm a fourth-tier divine beast right now!"

He himself is still a cub, how could he possibly find him?

I should have focused on my cultivation.

Qingqing's displeasure made Feng Siyue wisely shut up.

Practice overnight.

The next morning, Feng Siyue went out.

She came to Phoenix Mountain.

The stall owner said that the phoenix fruit grows on Phoenix Mountain, and Feng Siyue wanted to try her luck, hoping to bring the tree back with her...

Ali will be very happy.

Phoenix Mountain is not large, just over a thousand meters high, and its lush greenery is almost the only color in this mountainous area.

Feng Siyue walked along the mountain path. The mountain was shrouded in mist in the early morning, and it was very quiet.

She could even hear the sound of the cold dew dripping.

As her spiritual senses expanded outward, Feng Siyue searched for traces of the Phoenix Fruit.

Now her spiritual sense can extend outwards by four thousand meters, which is enough to scan Phoenix Mountain in just a moment.

However, instead of finding the Phoenix Fruit, she spotted a familiar face.

Moreover, it is in grave danger.

A dark-skinned, muscular man hung from the shady cliff face of Phoenix Mountain, his body covered in abrasions. The vine he clung to with his left hand was crawling with swarms of brown ants, which were gnawing at his only lifeline.

He was the owner of the fruit stand yesterday.

Seeing this, Feng Siyue flew through the air to a platform beside the cliff and threw a vine at him, "Grab this!"

The man didn't have time to think too much. Seeing the vines swinging from the right, he instinctively reached out to grab them!

In that very moment, the vine in his left hand snapped instantly!

His body fell due to inertia, but was stopped in mid-air by the vine on his right hand!

Feng Siyue pulled him up.

The man sat on the edge of the cliff, panting heavily, having survived the ordeal.

He wanted to express his gratitude for being saved, but when he looked up, he was surprised.

"It's you..."

The man quickly stood up, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "I am a very kind person, and I thank you for saving my life!"

If it weren't for her appearance, I would have really lost my life here!

Feng Siyue raised her hand to refuse her thanks.

"I wouldn't call myself a benefactor, just call me Wushang Huan."

"Stadium owner, I have a favor to ask you. You said yesterday that the Phoenix Fruit comes from Phoenix Mountain. Could you tell me the exact location? I'd like to move a tree back with me."

Phoenix fruit?

Geng Liang laughed and said, "No trouble at all! The phoenix fruit tree is behind Phoenix Mountain by the lake. I'll show you the way!"

It's just a tree; the other person saved his life, so what's wrong with telling them?

Feng Siyue politely thanked her.

"Thank you."

The two walked towards the middle of the mountain.

Phoenix Mountain has a unique shape, with three peaks curving inwards, resembling phoenix feathers, hence the name Phoenix Mountain.

The lake that Gengliang mentioned is located inside the mountain peaks. Due to the obstruction of the outer mountain peaks, the mist condenses into water and gathers into streams over the years, eventually forming a lake in the depression on the north side of Phoenix Mountain.

The area was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see the whole picture with the naked eye.

Geng Liang led Feng Siyue forward for about half an hour, and then a light blue lake appeared before them.

Clouds and mist surged on the water's surface, creating an ethereal atmosphere.

Geng Liang pointed to the right side of the lake and said, "I found the Phoenix Fruit in that spot last time. If we walk forward, it's about a hundred meters away."

Feng Siyue said, "Okay."

The two continued to move forward.

However, when Gengliang arrived at the designated spot, he found that the tree was gone.

He was slightly puzzled. "Strange, where's the tree?"

Feng Siyue asked him, "Are you sure you're here? Could you be on the other side?"

Geng Liang scratched his head. "No way, I just picked them here yesterday morning. I couldn't possibly be mistaken. Could they have run away on long legs?"

Somewhat skeptical, he continued walking forward, but after a while, he still couldn't find any trace of the tree.

Could I have really misremembered?

It shouldn't be.

Geng Liang was very puzzled.

Feng Siyue asked, "Gengliang, what does the phoenix tree you saw look like?"

After a moment's recollection, Geng Liang began, "It was three meters tall, with a red trunk and leaves, and some golden stripes..."

At this point, the man probably thought she thought he was lying to her, so he hurriedly explained, "Miss, I really didn't lie to you, I really saw it here yesterday!"

But why is he gone today?

Geng Liang doesn't understand.

Seeing his serious expression, and not seeming to be lying, but with the surrounding fog so thick that visibility was zero, Feng Siyue slowly felt that something was amiss in this place, and said,

"It's alright. Let's walk around the lake and the surrounding area. If we still can't find it, it just means we're not meant to be."

Could that tree have developed sentience?

Geng Liang was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I don't know how I disappeared..."
