章 258: ~Intermission~ Imagine Seeing a Universe in a Flower.

Shu Fu escorted Mu Lingxi back to the northern border post of the Linwu Kingdom, bidding her farewell with a wave as she set off on her way.

"Come back soon!" he called out, to which she responded with a bright smile and an enthusiastic nod. . .

"I promise I will! Thank you, sir!"

With that, she turned and ran off into the forests of the Dragon's Peak Mountain Range.

As the hours passed and night descended, the moon rose in the sky, casting its silvery light over the land. The echoing howls of powerful wolves and the rhythmic chirping of crickets made up the dense night forest as Mu Lingxi trudged on.

Exhausted from two days without sleep, she eventually found a spot beneath a tree to rest.

"I'm so tired..." she groaned wearily, sinking against the rough bark.

*grumble!*

Indeed, her moment of rest was short-lived as her stomach began to rumble once more.

Frowning, she placed a hand on her abdomen.
