Ling Zhenfei felt very strange and even more anxious. Could it be that he had really spent an entire day in this Peach Blossom Secret Realm?
Ling Zhenfei knew that time in many secret realms was different. Some people might stay in a secret realm for a long time but only a moment passes outside. He wondered how time worked in this Peach Blossom Secret Realm.
Some ancient gods created secret realms for various purposes, with the best use being to confuse enemies.
Just like an array, once someone enters, it's very difficult to come out. However, a secret realm is different.
A secret realm can be even more terrifying. Some people enter realms filled with peril, others with mechanisms. If they cannot reach the formation eye in time, they are doomed.
But Ling Zhenfei couldn't see any signs of terror in this Peach Blossom Secret Realm. The scenery was stunning, not to mention a woman like a fairy was here. What kind of secret realm was this?
Could it be that ancient gods created such a secret realm out of boredom, to let this Peach Blossom Fairy remain here for eternity?
This was a question Ling Zhenfei couldn't quite understand, but there was no point in pondering over it now.
Ling Zhenfei returned to the Peach Blossom Fairy's house. By this time, she had prepared several dishes. Seeing Ling Zhenfei return, she smiled and said, "You're back. The food is ready, come eat."
Ling Zhenfei saw the dishes the Peach Blossom Fairy prepared and found them to be quite aromatic and flavorful. He tasted them and thought they were quite delicious.
"Your cooking skills are really good."
The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "You're too kind. I've been here for so long, cooking these small dishes every day. I need to keep myself busy, otherwise, the days would be unbearable."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Didn't think your days were so fulfilling."
The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "My lifelong dream has been to live a safe and ordinary life, nothing grand, just simple and worry-free."
Ling Zhenfei thought about it. Many people make lots of money every day, but their biggest dream is to take a break, open a tavern in a mountain village, and enjoy the sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking. That's what life is.
The Peach Blossom Fairy's life was the ultimate realm, even Ling Zhenfei couldn't achieve it.
"The world is filled with too many temptations. Some people can't let go, and also can't let go of many people and things, so they can't live as freely as you do."
The Peach Blossom Fairy laughed and said, "What freedom? It's just a common mindset. And please, stop calling me a fairy. Just call me Peach Blossom."
"Peach Blossom, that's a lovely name too," Ling Zhenfei replied.
Peach Blossom asked, "By the way, did you make any discoveries today?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "No discoveries. I searched all around here. Tomorrow I'll expand the search area."
Peach Blossom said, "Don't rush, take your time. But I must warn you, there are river demons in the river below, and several previous visitors to the Peach Blossom Secret Realm died at their hands."
Ling Zhenfei was stunned and said, "What are river demons?"
Peach Blossom Fairy said, "I don't know what it is. It's at the widest part of the river. If anyone enters the river or flies over it, the river demon jumps up and swallows them whole."
Ling Zhenfei was shocked. Who would have thought such a beautiful place could have such dangerous things.
The Peach Blossom Fairy continued, "And there are monsters in the forest far away from the hill. I don't know what kind of creatures they are, but you often hear growls."
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Thank you so much for providing so much information. I truly appreciate it."
Ling Zhenfei knew the information the Peach Blossom Fairy provided was invaluable. The previous cultivators must have been very powerful, yet they were devoured by the river demon, indicating its immense power.
As for the beasts in the forest, Ling Zhenfei was also intrigued. Any place with anomalies was worth investigating.
The two of them chatted for a while, and Ling Zhenfei found that talking with the Peach Blossom Fairy brought him great joy.
The Peach Blossom Fairy probably hadn't seen anyone in a long time, so she also seemed very pleased to chat.
With her unparalleled beauty and graceful demeanor, she embodied the scholarly aura of ancient women.
This nobility is something modern girls often lack. Though Phoenix and Bai Ling are also beautiful, they both have fiery tempers.
Bai Ling being better than a little tomboy is already commendable. One couldn't expect more, while Phoenix is another story. Her beauty is her weapon, often using it to toy with men.
However, the Peach Blossom Fairy was different. She was a model among women, clearly educated in feminine virtues from a young age, speaking and acting with grace.
But having lived alone for so long, the Peach Blossom Fairy wasn't entirely unchanged. In ancient times, Ling Zhenfei would never have been allowed to sit and chat with her.
But now, she only maintained ancient feminine behavior in her speech and actions, remaining unconcerned with other matters.
After talking for a long time, the Peach Blossom Fairy said she was tired and needed to rest, so she retreated to her chamber.
Ling Zhenfei paused, another question forming in his mind. Such a beautiful woman living alone in the wilderness, had none of the previous visitors harbored any thoughts about her?
How could it be? The Peach Blossom Fairy's beauty would make any man want to take another look.
Ling Zhenfei found it incredible, but only wondered. He didn't dwell on it. All he could do now was find the secret realm's formation eye and get out.
The next morning, Ling Zhenfei set out early to find the formation eye but found no clues despite searching for a long time. Returning to the house, Peach Blossom Fairy had just finished preparing the meal.
"You're back, come eat."
Ling Zhenfei glanced at the table. Today's dishes were different; the Peach Blossom Fairy had made a fish.
The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "I know you're not used to the food here, so I caught a fish by the river. Try my cooking."
Ling Zhenfei didn't hesitate, sitting down to eat. He was surprised at how delicious the fish was in the secret realm.
However, the Peach Blossom Fairy hardly ate, only having a bit of light wild vegetables.
It seemed the fish was truly prepared for Ling Zhenfei, and he felt deeply touched. Such a girl might no longer exist in modern society, he thought.
