Luo Jin’an became misty-eyed when he looked at Su Binglan. He said worriedly, “The locals call that place the Black Mountain Forest.”
‘l could accompany and protect her wherever she went if I didn’t have the cold poison within me.’
Su Binglan’s heart clenched when she looked at her husband’s expression. She approached Luo Jin’an and gently hugged him, then looked at him and said, promise to be safe, okay?”
She chose her words wisely to comfort Luo Jin’an. Sometimes, she would act like a little girl when facing him. Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled.
Her smile was pure, and her voice was as sweet as pie. She was so obedient that it made Luo Jin’an want to pet her head. His heart softened whenever he saw his wife like this.
He sighed, “All right, you must return as soon as you encounter danger.”
“Yes, I know.” Su Binglan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her husband agreeing. Although she wanted to check out the Black Mountain Forest, she did not want to upset Luo Jin’an. After all, she was also concerned about his thoughts.
Su Binglan nodded and hurriedly walked out, but Luo Jin’an grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, saying, “Also, come back early.”
“I know, I know.” Su Binglan only behaved coquettishly in front of her husband.
Then Luo Jin’an gently rubbed her head. “Be good.”
Immediately after, Su Binglan brought Lin Zheng, Blue Two, and Blue Three to the mountain. Meanwhile, Wei Cheng and Wei Ying stood guard beside Luo Jin’an.
Su Binglan had been here for a few days, and Wei Cheng and Wei Ying could enjoy her delicacies. They had also witnessed Su Binglan’s various abilities and had long begun to admire her.
They felt traveling to the Black Mountain Forest would be unsafe for others but not for Su Binglan. However, when the duo saw their master’s worried and uneasy expression, they understood it might cause chaos.
They wanted to say something to distract their master. Wei Cheng said, “Master, the brick beds Madam taught us to make feels nice and warm. I won’t feel cold at night, especially with the down duvets she provided.
“I’m still wearing the sweater Madam gave me. It keeps me warm, too.” Wei Cheng was all praise. It was as if he was born yesterday. “Oh, right. Master, the wine Madam gave us is delicious. Just a sip can warm me up.”
Wei Ying did not speak much, so he nodded and uttered one word, “Yes.”
Su Binglan had brought many things with her. She treated Luo Jin’an well and was not stingy with the people around her. She even gave everyone sweaters, jackets, and down duvets. She also distributed these things to several families in the village.
Everyone was extremely grateful to Su Binglan. Moreover, they had been eating very well these past few days with her around.
Wei Shi could not help but add, “Don’t forget about the instant noodles
Madam brought.”
Wei Shi and Wei Chuan were also members of the Wei family. The duo usually stood guard at the door and immediately reported any movements. However, they had learned to cook from Su Binglan these past few days.
They felt Su Binglan was lovely and could see how good she was to their master. Of course, they thought her cooking skills were excellent, too. They initially did not want to say anything but could not help themselves.
Wei Chuan nodded. “Instant noodles are delicious.’
Wei Cheng said, “I think the dry curry noodles are better. Madam’s dishes are the best. She also made salted duck eggs and preserved eggs. Oh, there’s braised food too.’
They could eat various dishes for every meal these past few days. Every meal was delicious. It was only noon, and they were already looking forward to dinner.
Wei Cheng looked toward the mountain and said, “l wonder what we’re having for dinner later.’
“Madam should have made arrangements,” Wei Shi answered.
“Yeah, we’ll listen to what Madam says,” Wei Chuan added.
As usual, Wei Ying said nothing and only nodded in agreement.
Luo Jin’an looked at his subordinates and helplessly shook his head.
‘They’ve changed. None of them spoke before Bing arrived. She encouraged everyone to speak and voice their thoughts, so they’re more talkative now.
Still, I can’t deny it has become more lively now.’
Luo Jin’an smiled and thought it was good to have his wife around.
“All right,” Luo Jin’an said, “Do what you need to do. Go and rest if you’re free.”
Wei Cheng said, “Master, you should go to your room and rest. Madam will worry if she knows you’ve been standing in the cold.”
Although the sun had shined brightly these past few days, it was still winter. After a few days of recovery, Luo Jin’an’s condition was no longer as severe as before. However, Su Binglan told him he still needed to rest.
Luo Jin’an did not want his wife to worry, so he returned to his room. Still, he did not lay idly by and dealt with other matters. After all, he had to give instructions to his subordinates.
Su Binglan, Lin Zheng, Blue Two, and Blue Three walked toward Black Mountain Forest. After reaching the mountain, Su Binglan thought it was indeed different from the one in Su Teng Village, whether it was the environment or the plants.
She could also hear wild animals roaming around. Of course, Lin Zheng, Blue Two, and Blue Three did not hear them, but Su Binglan could because of her spiritual energy.
She came to the mountain to see if she could find the medicinal herb needed for the cold poison. That herb was called Purple Spirit Ginseng. The herb could only survive and grow in a place of spiritual energy.
When she went to the capital to save Su Wenxiu last time, she had passed by places where medicinal herbs could grow to find the Purple Spirit Ginseng. However, she did not even find a trace of it, as there were only ordinary herbs.
Logically speaking, such a herb would not exist in this world. Moreover, Su Binglan could not find it even when she used a compass and her spiritual energy to measure its location.
She even wanted to recover all her spiritual energy and use her strength to obtain the Purple Spirit Ginseng. Hence, she wanted to see if it existed in the Black Mountain Forest.
She thought perhaps it was better to have seeds and cultivate them in her pocket dimension because of the spiritual energy and spiritual spring water there.
Su Binglan recalled being able to think of something and make it appear when she was at the back of Su Teng Village’s mountain. If so, she could sense the summoning power of the Purple Spirit Ginseng and quickly find it.
Thus, she only thought of the Purple Spirit Ginseng when walking into the depths of the Black Mountain Forest. After all, she wanted to sense its aura as soon as possible.
Lin Zheng looked down as the four walked in. He said, “Master, these are wild vegetables, right? Should we dig them up and bring them back?”
Although they went there to chop wood primarily, Lin Zheng guessed his master was looking for something specific, so he looked around immediately after entering the forest..
