Chapter 331: Returning to Da Hu Mountain
Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Returning to Da Hu Mountain
Su Qing had no objections to Gu Xinsheng’s arrangements. Seeing this, Gu Xinsheng relaxed a little.
But what Gu Xinsheng didn’t know was that on the very night she left the plantation, Su Qing had secretly returned under the cover of darkness. Unseen and unheard, she had poisoned every last one of the leaders from Xiangcheng. Even if they escaped punishment after returning to the city, they were now doomed to slowly weaken and die.
Once her work was done, Su Qing slipped away from the plantation again without a sound. She leisurely rejoined her escort and left the mountains.
"Qingqing, I don’t want to leave you! Why don’t you come back to Xiangcheng with me this time?" Knowing they were about to part ways, Cheng Beilin was crestfallen. She also felt a pang of regret. She had been so looking forward to Su Qing visiting Xiangcheng, hoping to show her around the city. But in the end, not only did they fail to go shopping, she had also burdened Su Qing by making her travel all that way to rescue her.
"I can’t go back with you," Su Qing whispered to Cheng Beilin. "Don’t worry, I’ll be in Xiangcheng in a few days. My cousin is still at your house, and I have to go pick her up. Please look after her for me when you get back. But don’t mention this to anyone here. I have to go to Xiangcheng secretly, so no one can know."
"That’s wonderful! I’ll be waiting for you." Cheng Beilin’s eyes lit up. She knew that for people from the mainland, traveling to Xiangcheng involved a lot of complicated and troublesome procedures.
"Alright." Su Qing nodded with a smile, then glanced at Du Haoran, who was standing nearby. She grinned and said, "Oh, right, I haven’t had a chance to congratulate you two yet. So, when’s the wedding?"
Her words instantly made both Cheng Beilin and Du Haoran blush.
Cheng Beilin pursed her lips into a smile, glanced at Du Haoran, and said shyly, "Ask him."
Du Haoran smiled and said, "Once we get to Xiangcheng, I’m going to talk to the Cheng Family about marrying Beilin."
Hearing this, Cheng Beilin’s smile became even more tender.
Su Qing watched the happy couple, feeling genuinely happy for them. She knew Cheng Beilin hadn’t chosen the wrong person. The fact that Du Haoran had willingly risked his life, charging into a den of criminals just to protect Cheng Beilin, was proof enough that he was worthy of her lifelong trust.
After parting ways with Cheng Beilin and Du Haoran, Su Qing took a train to Yun Province. She planned to use this time to make another trip to Da Hu Mountain. The dense Spiritual Energy deep within the mountain was unlike anywhere else. In her past life, Su Qing had reached the peak of the Fourth Rank with her superpower, and she had just reached that level again. She intended to see if she could break through to the Fifth Rank. While she was there, she also planned to visit A Jin, Da Hei, Er Hei, and San Hei.
With a clear goal and no time to waste, Su Qing moved quickly after entering Da Hu Mountain. She made a beeline for A Jin’s territory, only stopping to harvest the occasional ancient medicinal herb she came across.
ROAR—
Su Qing had barely set foot in A Jin’s territory when the tiger caught her scent. Overjoyed, it came bounding toward her from a distance.
Seeing A Jin leap toward her, Su Qing laughed and opened her arms, catching the massive tiger in a tight embrace.
"A Jin, did you miss me?" Su Qing asked with a wide grin, her arms still wrapped around the tiger.
GRUFF! A Jin excitedly nuzzled its huge head against Su Qing’s shoulder, letting out a series of happy chuffs. Its tail swayed back and forth, a clear sign of its excellent mood.
Su Qing smiled and produced two rabbits from her dimensional space, which she fed to A Jin. After playing with the tiger for a while and eating a small meal herself, she prepared to say her goodbyes. She needed to check on Da Hei and the others before heading to the Ancient Forest.
Having finally been reunited with Su Qing, A Jin was naturally unwilling to part with her so soon. It followed her all the way to the mountain where the three black bears lived.
But just as they reached the three bears’ territory, Su Qing suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice cry out from ahead, "Help me!"
