Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 243 Parchment

As if startled, the little creature suddenly flapped its wings and flew away gracefully into the distance.

Huan Yuechu's eyes were involuntarily drawn to the butterfly, and her feet moved forward following its flight path as if on their own.

And so, she chased after the butterflies, and before she knew it, she had wandered into the depths of a garden she had never set foot in before.

Here, hundreds of flowers bloom in vibrant colors, their fragrance filling the air and creating a truly enchanting scene.

Suddenly, a clear, melodious, and gentle flute sound, like a babbling brook, reached her ears.

The flute music was like heavenly music, captivating and enchanting.

She was captivated by the beautiful music and couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound. To her surprise, she saw the elegant and charming young master Mu Nan.

It turned out that Mu Nan felt a little bored from staying indoors for a long time, so she decided to go out for some fresh air.

When he strolled here and saw this breathtaking scenery,

A poetic inspiration suddenly arose in his heart, so he took out the jade flute he always carried with him and began to play it leisurely.

Huan Yuechu walked forward with light steps, and their eyes met.

In an instant, they both smiled knowingly at each other.

It was as if that tiny bit of misunderstanding had vanished without a trace under the sunlight, like the morning mist.

Mu Nan gently put down the flute in her hand and said slowly, "This piece is called 'Thinking of Home.' Whenever my mind is in turmoil, I play this piece to calm my mind."

Huan Yuechu asked with a curious look, "Young Master Mu, are you homesick?"

Mu Nan tilted her head slightly, gazing at the distant horizon, and answered thoughtfully.

"Home is now out of reach. What I miss are just the memories of the past."

Just then, a gentle breeze swept by, and the petals on the branches fluttered down.

It was like a dazzling rain of flowers, a truly breathtaking sight.

Huan Yuechu reached out her slender hand, caught a pink petal, and softly spoke through her lips.

"Life is like a dream. Although it is full of troubles and worries, it is a lucky thing to have such a beautiful view by my side at this moment."

Upon hearing this, Mu Nan nodded slightly, indicating her deep agreement.

A thoughtful glint flashed in his deep, bright eyes, as if he were rapidly processing all the information related to the topic in his mind.

At this moment, Huan Yuechu, standing to the side, thought to herself: To be able to encounter Mu Nan in this dreamlike peach blossom forest, this person must be no ordinary person, and may even know something about what I am looking for.

So she parted her lips slightly and asked softly, "Does Young Master Mu know of a herb called Xuanling Grass?" Her voice was as melodious as a nightingale's song, clear and pleasant to the ear.

Mu Nan raised an eyebrow slightly, and after a moment's thought, replied, "Mystic Spirit Grass? I've heard of it. But I wonder why you mentioned it, Miss? Do you urgently need this herb?"

His words revealed a hint of curiosity.

Huan Yuechu nodded slightly, her face showing anxiety, and hurriedly explained.

"To be honest, I desperately need the Mystic Spirit Grass to awaken my dear friend who is still asleep. I hope Young Master Mu will be kind enough to offer his guidance. If you know anything more about this herb, please let me know."

As she spoke, her beautiful, captivating eyes looked at Mu Nan with anticipation, as if she were placing all her hopes on this stranger in front of her.

Mu Nan frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and finally slowly opened her mouth to speak.

"This Mysterious Spirit Grass grows in a very secluded place! According to legend, it is located in the very center of that mysterious mountain."

"However, that place is full of countless dangers and challenges. It is home to all kinds of ferocious and brutal beasts."

"Moreover, it is riddled with illusions that can lead one astray, making it difficult to escape, as well as treacherous traps. A single misstep can plunge one into an abyss of no return!"

Huan Yuechu listened quietly to Mu Nan's words, her beautiful and refined face initially showing little change in expression.

But when she heard how treacherous the destination was, a resolute and determined look flashed quickly in her eyes.

She had made up her mind and responded without hesitation.

"No matter how rugged and dangerous the road ahead may be, I will definitely give it a try and never give up easily!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Nan couldn't help but fix his gaze on the seemingly weak but actually incredibly strong woman in front of him, and a sense of admiration welled up in his heart.

"This girl's courage and determination are truly admirable!"

"It was quite a coincidence, really. During one of my adventures, I stumbled upon a simple map that could guide people to the heart of that mysterious mountain. Although the map may not be very detailed, I'm sure it will be of some help to you on your journey."

As Mu Nan spoke, she reached into her bosom and began to grope around.

In a short while, Mu Nan carefully took out a roll of slightly old and torn parchment and gently handed it to Huan Yuechu.

"Here you are, this is the map. Please keep it safe and secure, young lady."

Huan Yuechu stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, her previously tense face blossomed into a joyful smile, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"This...it's really true? This is wonderful! There's always a way out!"

Huan Yuechu stretched out her hands and took the roll of parchment with utmost care, as if she were holding some rare treasure.

She gazed at the handsome and extraordinary Mu Nan with great joy, her eyes revealing undisguised happiness and gratitude.

Her face was full of gratitude. She clasped her hands together and bowed repeatedly to Mu Nan, thanking him profusely.

"Thank you for your help, Young Master Mu. I will remember this kindness and repay you in the future!"

Mu Nan's lips curled up slightly, forming a warm smile like a spring breeze.

He gently raised his right hand and waved it casually, as if it were just a trivial matter.

He spoke calmly and composedly.

“You flatter me, young lady. This is nothing to worry about. However, you dared to go to a place full of dangers and treacherous traps all by yourself.”

"In my opinion, it would be better if I accompanied you, so that we can look out for each other."
