Chapter 420 Heavenly Village

Mauve ventured into the forest, traversing its treacherous terrain. The dense foliage and uneven ground posed challenges, making her progress through the forest arduous and demanding. As she barely got to eat anything that day, she could only walk slowly. However, Mauve was determined not to give up.

She had no idea where to find Simon, and she didn't even have a map with her. Nonetheless, such obstacles did not deter Mauve in the slightest. She was acutely aware that she bore the responsibility for Simon's poisoning and his precarious state.

The weight of guilt pressed upon her, leaving her with no choice but to push forward and search for him, hoping to alleviate the burden of remorse that weighed heavily on her conscience.

Just like that, Mauve walked along the mountain path for three hours.

Three hours later, she had blisters all over her feet. After days of nonstop travel and the events that had transpired involving her friends, Mauve found her energy completely depleted.

She released a soft sigh, taking a moment to survey her surroundings. The forest loomed in pitch darkness, its eerie atmosphere teeming with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. The incessant buzzing of the bugs filled the air, creating an unsettling symphony that echoed around her.

Right then, a lost lone wolf emerged in front of her.

The wolf's eyes glistened with greed, a clear sign of its hunger. To the wolf, Mauve appeared as a delectable meal, an irresistible temptation.

However, the wolf exercised caution, pausing its movements and carefully studying Mauve with watchful eyes.

Strangely, Mauve wasn't afraid at all. Her lips curled up slightly as she said, “Well, this time, no one can escape. Simon, my friends, I'm coming to join you soon.”

With that, she lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

Some time later, Mauve slowly regained her consciousness. As her eyes fluttered open, she noticed her surroundings were engulfed in darkness. Yet, to her astonishment, she found Simon right before her, his countenance etched with an icy expression.

Simon was holding her in his arms as he rested against a tree.

Sensing her awakening, he swiftly turned his gaze toward her, lowering his head to meet her eyes. “You're awake?” he asked, his tone carrying a distinct coldness.

Mauve felt really warm in his embrace. She blurted out, “Simon, are we both dead?”

“No,” Simon said.

As Mauve's mind cleared, she sat up and asked, “We're not dead?” Her voice filled with relief and joy, she added, “Simon, have you been following me all this time to keep me safe?”

Simon explained, “Because of you, I wasted one-third of my energy and seven hours.” After a pause, he asked, “Do you really think you're helping me?”

Mauve hung her head low and said pitifully, “I'm sorry, Simon.”

Simon merely replied, “Eat this, then get some rest.” Clearly, he didn't want to continue the conversation.

He gave Mauve an elixir pill. It was a Spirit Gathering Pill.

“What is this?” Mauve asked curiously.

“A poison to kill you,” Simon responded icily.

Mauve chuckled aloud. “Nah, you won't.” Without hesitation, she swallowed the Spirit Gathering Pill.

Spirit Gathering Pills held little value for cultivators like Jonathan and Simon, but for ordinary individuals like Mauve, they were akin to a miraculous remedy.
