Su Biluo's cheeks instantly flushed a rosy red, like peach blossoms.
Her heart pounded uncontrollably, as if it would leap out of her throat.
Su Biluo's eyes widened, filled with panic and shyness.
She could clearly feel Zhuge Lan's strong heartbeat and hear his slightly hurried breathing.
She could smell Zhuge Lan's unique scent, a mix of faint herbal fragrance and masculine vigor.
Su Biluo wanted to get up immediately and escape this embrace that made her incredibly embarrassed and her heart race, but her body felt as if it had been frozen, limp and unable to exert any strength.
As for Zhuge Lan, looking at the panicked and delicate Su Biluo in his arms, a hint of tenderness and surprise flashed in his eyes.
He lowered his head slightly, leaned close to Su Biluo's small earlobe, and whispered, "Be careful, the current in this stream is quite strong."
His voice was deep and sexy, making Su Biluo even more shy.
Listening to Zhuge Lan's words, his gentle voice seemed to carry a magic that made her already flustered heart even more at a loss.
She dared not look directly into Zhuge Lan's eyes, her peach-blossom-red cheeks becoming even more delicate and alluring.
The surrounding air seemed to solidify at this moment, leaving only the intertwining sounds of their breathing and heartbeats, weaving a moving picture.
Zhuge Lan looked at Su Biluo's appearance, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
He gently supported Su Biluo's shoulders, trying to help her stand steady.
However, the moment his hand touched Su Biluo, her body trembled slightly again.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Zhuge Lan said softly.
His words were like warm sunshine, sprinkling on Su Biluo's heart.
Su Biluo slightly raised her head, her gaze meeting Zhuge Lan's, and in that instant, she saw the deep affection and care in Zhuge Lan's eyes.
They gazed at each other silently, and time seemed to stop at that moment.
Everything around them became blurry, only their mutual presence was so clear.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Biluo finally came back to her senses; she gently bit her lip, trying to calm herself down.
"Thank you," Su Biluo said softly, her voice like the clear autumn breeze, gentle and moving.
Zhuge Lan smiled slightly, "Let's continue on."
Zhuge Lan said, "The road ahead is still long, we need to find the feiyan grass as soon as possible."
Su Biluo nodded, and she slowly broke free from Zhuge Lan's embrace.
Although there was still a hint of reluctance in her heart, she knew that this was not the time for romantic sentiments.
They continued their journey to find the feiyan grass.
Along the way, a different kind of emotion grew in Su Biluo's heart.
That seemingly casual embrace, like a seed, took root and sprouted in Su Biluo's heart, blossoming into a beautiful flower.
Looking at Su Biluo's still shy and charming appearance, Zhuge Lan was secretly happy.
Little beauty, check!
In a flash, Zhuge Lan and Bìluò arrived at the foot of Dragon Mountain.
The Dragon Mountain before them soared into the clouds, shrouded in mist, giving people a strange sense of dread.
Zhuge Lan looked up at the seemingly endless peak, his brows slightly furrowed.
A hint of nervousness also flashed in Su Biluo's eyes, but thinking of her mother's illness, she became resolute again.
"Hey, look at that mountain, it's really terrifyingly high!" Zhuge Lan exclaimed.
Su Biluo bit her lip and said, "No matter how difficult it is, we must find the feiyan grass."
Zhuge Lan looked at Su Biluo's stubborn expression, and a feeling of relief surged in his heart.
Then, Zhuge Lan patted his chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, I'm here!"
He rummaged through his belongings and then took out a small, exquisite jade pendant engraved with mysterious runes.
Zhuge Lan closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and infused his thoughts into the jade pendant.
The jade pendant began to emit a faint glow, and the surrounding air also seemed to change.
Su Biluo looked at the jade pendant in Zhuge Lan's hand in surprise, not knowing what he was doing.
Zhuge Lan opened his eyes and said to Su Biluo, "Look closely, this jade pendant can instantly take us to the mountaintop."
"Really?" Su Biluo looked at him with a mix of doubt and belief, but at this point, there was no other better option, so she could only choose to trust Zhuge Lan.
Zhuge Lan closed his eyes again and chanted something under his breath.
The light from the jade pendant grew stronger and stronger, and the surrounding mist began to swirl.
Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed, and Su Biluo felt her body enveloped by a powerful aura.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing on the summit of Dragon Mountain.
Su Biluo could hardly believe her eyes; she looked around and saw the mountaintop shrouded in mist, like a fairyland.
Su Biluo marveled at the scene before her, and her admiration for Zhuge Lan grew even more.
Zhuge Lan, on the other hand, looked around with a solemn expression.
"The feiyan grass must grow somewhere on this mountaintop, but with the mist swirling around, finding it won't be easy," Zhuge Lan said slowly.
Su Biluo nodded, her eyes firm as she said, "We will definitely find it."
The two began to cautiously explore the mountaintop.
They parted layers of mist, carefully examining every place where feiyan grass might grow.
However, time passed minute by minute, but there was still no trace of the feiyan grass.
Anxiety gradually welled up in Su Biluo's heart, but she tried hard to remain calm.
Zhuge Lan seemed to sense her thoughts and comforted her, "Don't worry, feiyan grass is extremely rare; if it were that easy to find, it wouldn't be called rare, would it? Let's search more carefully."
After a long time of searching in the mist, just when they were about to lose hope, Zhuge Lan suddenly noticed a strange light flickering not far ahead.
His heart stirred, and he quickly pulled Su Biluo towards the direction of the light.
Getting closer, they saw a plant emitting a faint glow growing in the crevice of a giant rock.
On this mountaintop, all other plants were dim amidst the surrounding mist.
Only its light pierced through the shroud of mist; the light was not dazzling, but carried a mysterious softness.
Zhuge Lan, with an excited heart and trembling hands, said to Su Biluo, "Look! This must be the legendary feiyan grass."
Su Biluo's eyes widened as she looked at the plant emitting a mysterious glow, her face full of disbelief.
"Is this really feiyan grass?"
Excitement flickered in Zhuge Lan's eyes as he slowly circled the giant rock, carefully observing the feiyan grass.
Then, he opened the illustration system in his mind: Ding—You have unlocked a new item! Name: feiyan grass, Category: Plant, Rarity: Legendary.
