Song Cheng saw his "new body," which was not the limbs or torso of a human but a complete embodiment of mountains and rivers.
In the bubbling stream, fish swam about, and on the bank, a delicate deer was hopping gracefully, occasionally glancing across the stream. There, Ling had just hung out clothes to dry and was now crafting some simple wind chimes.
She had always liked wind chimes, their clear, moving sounds were like a dream. In her dreams, she could recall the tranquil An Residence in Northern Snow State, the luxurious King Song’s Mansion in the Imperial Capital, as well as the young lady and many, many others.
Once the wind chimes were complete, she hung them up.
She had already grown used to the son-in-law’s disappearances.
Those absences would be sudden, lasting for months or years as if a single breath from the son-in-law spanned the many days and nights that passed for them.
The son-in-law was no ordinary man.
And she, though appearing young, was actually quite elderly.
She had seen Lady Zhushan’s death and maybe... she would also die here.
In the instant after death, the illusory youthfulness would vanish, transforming into an old lady with white hair and wrinkled skin.
Thinking of this, she took out a thin piece of beast skin and began to write a letter, using ink made from purple flower juice.
She knew her health was deteriorating, and that she could die at any time, so she wanted to leave something behind.
The first letter, she wrote to her son-in-law.
After writing "To my son-in-law," she held the brush made from animal hair, unsure of what to write next. She remembered the first time she met the son-in-law when he was just a villager who had fled from Tang River Village. She thought he would become a bargaining chip for the young lady in the An Family’s struggles. Back then, she had her own schemes, planning on helping chief guard Shi Yi rise to power because only he could ensure the survival of her lineage amidst her family’s complex intrigues... But the son-in-law’s arrival shattered all conspiracies and the malice of human hearts in a magical, unimaginably brutal manner. To her, the son-in-law was a legend, a myth in her heart.
But what could she write?
Biting the tip of her brush, resting her snow-white cheeks on her hand, Ling pondered over and over but suddenly felt, "To the son-in-law, perhaps I am no different than an ant. What does it matter what I write?"
As she was thinking, a vine discreetly crept up along the side of her embroidered shoes, miraculously sprouting green leaves, and suddenly blossoms emerged. Time seemed to accelerate as the flowers rapidly bloomed, unfurling vibrant petals and transforming into a lusciously blooming wildflower.
Upon lowering her head, Ling saw the wildflower.
"Ah!" she exclaimed in surprise, not recalling there being a flower there just moments ago.
As she was pondering, her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief at the scene unfolding before her.
On the meadow by the creek, flowers began to bloom rapidly.
"Wow, Ying, Yuan, look, look!" Ling called out.
Ying and Yuan took turns guarding, with one always watching over Mo and Ting, while the other was responsible for hunting and fishing for food.
This was the five women’s division of labor.
At that moment, Ying was about to set off, following a path behind the cabin into the deep mountains to hunt.
Ding Yuan was sitting in front of the cabin, basking in the warm sunshine.
At this point, not just Ling’s cry, the two women had also noticed.
Flowers miraculously grew on the meadow by the creek and then formed a sentence: I succeeded. frёeωebɳovel.com
The three women: !!!
Then, abruptly... Ying’s vision blurred as a demon beast boar suddenly appeared before her.
The demon beast boar looked just as dumbfounded, with an expression of utter confusion about its location.
Ying drew her sword in an instant, "swoosh" decapitating the boar’s head.
Following that, a "rustle" sound came, as numerous wild fruits fell in front of the cabin door.
The three women blinked, watching this unfold.
Ling dropped the letter, stretched out her arms, and began running across the meadow, her embroidered shoes treading on the lush grass.
"Son-in-law, son-in-law, have you transformed into this place?"
As her words fell, blades of grass flew about, and in the blink of an eye, they coalesced into Song Cheng’s figure, appearing before her. The figure nodded at her and said, "Yes, I succeeded."
After speaking, he also looked at Ying and Ding Yuan, saying, "From now on, there’s no need to hunt anymore. Whatever you want to eat, I’ll send it to you every day."
The entire Ice Fire Mountain had become his body, upon which he could instantly transport objects at will, sending stones from the base of the mountain to the peak in an instant or hiding a tree on the summit in a blink, ensuring that no one could find anything they desired within this area unless he allowed it.
And the searing Yang Qi made this place as warm as spring, deterring the distant Ghost Servants from even dreaming of approaching.
He finally understood why he couldn’t find the Immortality Peach Tree on Accumulating Thunder Mountain no matter what.
The Mountain God would reveal the Immortality Peach Tree to whomever it wished and send anyone away based on its mood.
As for the "Wood Spirit Evergreen Scripture," it was clearly focused on "plants." He could innately ripen the flora on his own land, allowing fruit trees that bore fruit once a year to rapidly transition from "bare branches" to "laden with fruit."
His formidable power allowed him to Manifest in any form and even produce sounds.
However, everything had its limitations, and that was that he... could not leave this land.
His Divine Soul resided in the heart of this land, each strand of white light, as Yang Qi, was the vascular nerve connecting him to the land and also the chains binding and imprisoning him.
Regarding the Immortality Peach, after comprehending the "Wood Spirit Evergreen Scripture," he also understood.
