Third part,

...

"What? You... you..."

Tang Feifei thought she already knew a lot, but when Xiao Muxue honestly confessed her relations with Qin Fang, the disbelief and unimaginable shock in Tang Feifei's wide-open eyes still gave Xiao Muxue a startle.

No doubt, she had misunderstood Tang Feifei's intentions and ended up confessing some things she shouldn't have revealed.

"I'm sorry Feifei, this isn't Qin Fang's fault, it was me who seduced him... he was under the influence of the drug I gave him..."

Xiao Muxue was also a woman with a strong sense of responsibility, immediately trying to remedy her blunder, even if it meant sullying her own reputation.

"Feifei, once Qin Fang is safely back, I will leave, far away, and I will never see him again!"

Xiao Muxue said, fighting back tears, very resolutely.

Tang Feifei fell silent, tears similarly streaming down her face. After a long while, she reached up to dry her tears and lifted her head, "Continue, I just hope Qin Fang comes back alive, I don't care about anything else..."

"I gave that Psychic Jade to Qin Fang, as long as the jade exists, so does he; if he perishes, the jade shatters... I can sense it!"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive!"

The heavy moods of both women eased slightly in unison.

At this moment, Tang Feifei surprisingly felt no hatred toward Xiao Muxue, even though she had taken her lover because she made her realize one fact—Qin Fang was still alive.

"Let's put the past behind us, we're still good sisters, let's wait for Qin Fang together!"

Maybe it was due to their shared concern for Qin Fang, or maybe it was because they both deeply loved the man whose whereabouts were unknown, Tang Feifei felt magnanimous at this moment, and she should be generous, truly treating Xiao Muxue as a dear sister.

...

Meanwhile, they both worried that the man was still groping around in darkness.

"Wait, I stand here, I'll be right back..."

Suddenly, Qin Fang stopped in his tracks, said something to Wen Yan beside him, let go of her hand, and quickly walked toward a passage next to them.

This corridor was empty and eerily quiet, the faint squeaking of rats could be heard in the distance, but this only intensified Wen Yan's worry and fear.

"Qin Fang... Qin Fang..."

The more fearful she felt inside, the more she realized she needed a man to uphold her faith, but the quiet was too profound, and Qin Fang's figure had disappeared, prompting her to call out uncontrollably.

Her voice echoed through the corridor, with the echo carrying far, yet there was no response; Qin Fang seemed to have vanished suddenly.

"Qin Fang, don't leave me behind, don't leave me..."

Wen Yan grew even more frightened, her voice trembling. The darkness was too terrifying.

Just as she was on the brink of collapse, suddenly a hand reached out, and then she was enveloped in a warm and familiar embrace.

"What's wrong? How could I possibly leave you behind! I just went for a pee..."

Qin Fang's voice echoed by Wen Yan's ear, then he hugged her and continued to walk forward; he could already tell they weren't far from the outside sunlight.

As for what he had been doing, of course, he had discovered something valuable—a Thousand Year Ganoderma, right there in the depths of that corridor.

Real Thousand Year Ganoderma!

Perhaps there were many ganoderma labeled as "Thousand Year Ganoderma" outside, but none of them truly aged a thousand years.

But the one Qin Fang had found was indeed a genuine Thousand Year Ganoderma, to be exact, it had been over twelve hundred years.

This was the miraculous effect of Qin's Scouting Skill; he had found it accidentally while exploring, and there was no way he would pass up such a discovery, which is why he temporarily left Wen Yan to collect the Thousand Year Ganoderma.

It wasn't because he was afraid Wen Yan would find out, but rather he was worried that there might be Exotic Beasts guarding the Ganoderma, at least that's what the novels say, so he left her out of safety concerns.

Of course, the result was that the area was completely empty, no Exotic Beasts at all, and Qin Fang easily picked the Ganoderma and put it into his Props Box.

With Qin Fang's return, Wen Yan's heart settled down, her previous fear completely vanishing. Nestled gently against Qin Fang's side, her heart was indescribably calm and content.

Having confirmed the right path, still, it took Qin Fang and his company a full hour before they finally saw the sunlight poking through the cracks in the rocks.

"We're finally out!"

When Qin Fang pried open the rock blocking the cave entrance with the steel pipe from his Sap Outfit, he and Wen Yan finally emerged from the cave, having escaped a grave situation.

"Ah... we're saved!"

Wen Yan was also incredibly excited, looking around at the lush greenery of Qing Mountain and couldn't help but let out a loud shout, overwhelmed by emotion and excitement.

Aowuu~~~

However, responding to Wen Yan's call was a howl coming from the other side of the mountain.

"Er... Beautiful, even the wolves are startled by you!"

To this sound, Qin Fang was all too familiar—it was, in fact, the howl of a wild wolf, though he hadn't expected that there would genuinely be wolves in such deep mountains.

Being teased by Qin Fang like this, Wen Yan couldn't help but blush, though she didn't take it too seriously.
