Chapter 390 She Shouldn't Know Some Secrets

Summer comes suddenly. One morning shortly after the monsters come to congratulate the white bear on its move, Lin Luoran feels the temperature has dropped sharply. She gets up and finds the snow begins to melt.

The temperature rose overnight and the snow melted. Lin Luoran even witnesses a flash flood after she gets up.

The accumulated snow for six months rushes down from the top of the mountain after melting. Those low-rank monsters don't even have time to celebrate winter turning to summer and some of them have been drowned. Lin Luoran is deeply touched by the scenery.

It is the coldest when snow melts. She couldn't help taking out the rabbit fur coat from space and wears it.

The white bear steps on the muddy water and returns to the house. Lin Luoran is thinking about where it goes in such an early morning when the white bear asks her to pack up.

What happened?

“I will send you over the mountain today. Hurry up. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait another year to leave here under the Rank Nine monster's watch.”

Crossing the mountain? Lin Luoran is so overjoyed that her brain turns blank for a while. Actually, it has been a year since she entered the node of space in the Bohai Sea Bay. Lin Luoran never stops thinking about going to Mount Penglai. In fact, she wants it more.

Some people's obsession is like making wine. After the precipitation of time, their enthusiasm will not fade out. On the contrary, they will have more intense emotional fluctuations on the day when the wine is opened after their obsession is sealed to ferment after a long time. For Lin Luoran, the longer it delays and the more she pays, the more she wants to find Penglai.

She has little to pack up so she sets off immediately with the white bear.

The hillsides are full of puddles of different depth. It is a common situation after snow melting. Although roads are slippery, the monster forest still takes on a new green look after been covered with white snow for the whole winter.

Towering old trees and vines are washed clean by snow water, which looks particularly translucent. Many new grass buds were buried deep in the snow but now they can see the sunshine. Lin Luoran follows behind the white bear and walks through the forest. The bear is extremely fast and it is not affected by its seemingly bulky body at all.

They are climbing higher and higher, closer to the top of the mountain. When Lin Luoran thinks she is about to face the Rank Nine monster, the white bear suddenly stops.

“Let's wait.”

Wait for what? White bear says nothing more and Lin Luoran also doesn't ask because she doesn't care about how the white bear will send her away. Lin Luoran is very happy that the bear can keep its promise.

Of course, Lin Luoran still suspects maybe the white bear will send her to hell deep down in her heart. She then denies such kinds of ideas because of their unequal strength—with the white bear's personal ability, it does not need to kill her by the Rank Nine monster's hand.

After waiting for an hour but gaining nothing, the white bear pulls weeds aside and takes Lin Luoran to another road.

She follows it and feels they are going higher. It seems that they are really bypassing the Rank Nine monster and walking to the other side of the mountain… is it possible? Lin Luoran feels her heart is pounding. She is flushed with excitement so her honey-colored skin is also glowing with a soft color.

“This way leads to a hot spring. The one on top of the mountain spends half a day in the hot spring every year on the day of melting snow then sleeps all day. It is your only chance to cross this mountain. ”

The white bear is robust. Lin Luoran finds it almost floats on the rocky path without any help from Wakan. As for the hot spring it said, she can see it after walking for half an hour.

This place is steaming hot. She can know it is very close to the top of the mountain by the terrain. According to the white bear, it is extremely risky but still much safer than just confronting that monster face to face. Lin Luoran squeezes the blue jade in her hand. The mermaid said that this beautiful jade could stop the Rank Nine monster for a moment. She can only rely on it if something unexpected happens.

Lin Luoran discovers with her sharp eyes that there is definitely a long narrow path extending in the other direction near the white misty spring. The white bear doesn't lie to her!

She is overjoyed and feels much relaxed. Lin Luoran is about to go for it. However, the white bear suddenly becomes alert and holds her back.

“You just miss our annual meeting for this human girl?”

Under the white fog, a female voice suddenly rings and it totally surprises Lin Luoran. Why is a woman speaking here? No, it's the monster forest. There are only female monsters except Lin Luoran!

She doesn't associate the cold but beautiful female voice with the one at the top of the mountain now. After all, the image of the mysterious Rank Nine monster in Lin Luoran's mind is the dull growl a few months ago and the broken body of the double-headed antelope.

However, the white bear looks as if he were facing a mighty enemy and it doesn't even move a bit.

The female voice is angry but sad, “You know I can only be sober for one day of the whole year. Why do you treat me like your enemy?”

White bear's voice is a bit low, “Do you know you killed the two-headed antelope we have both taken care of for a while in this year when you lost your mind?”

The female voice suddenly becomes silent. It seems to be scared by what the white bear said.

“I do not know…”

“I do not know” is an expression sadder than “I forget it”. Forgetting means she remembers it once. Not knowing means she is always ignorant about everything happened.

Lin Luoran looks very serious. Hearing such a conversation, she has already understood that it is the Rank Nine monster at the top of the mountain that is now hiding behind the heavy white fog!

She is in a dilemma because she feels very uneasy about knowing the secret of the Rank Nine monster and the white bear.

People knowing too much always die young, not to mention that she knows this amazing “adultery” by chance!

She looks at the white bear beside her. Two monsters in love who can only see each other once a year?

It feels so weird.

“Let her go.” The white bear remains silent for a long time and finally says.

Lin Luoran's heart is lifted immediately.

The voice is silent behind the white fog after a long time. It is like a cautious trial making Lin Luoran so nervous.

Just like after eons, a cold laughter comes behind the white frog which gives Lin Luoran a bad hunch.

“In the past, you said you didn't want to stay in this monster forest all your life. We couldn't cross the Sea of Sin but we should go to see the scenery on the other side of the mountain. I challenged the irrational Rank Nine monster for you… it was dead but it was actually a relief for it. Who could know that I would take over its place and become the guardian of this mountain according to the rules here! We can't get out. We can't get out of the forest in our lifetime! I can only be sober on the snow melting day of the whole year. Being an unconscious killer or doomed to die… this forest is just a hunting ground built by those shameless immortals to capture monsters… Since we cannot get out, why should I let this woman go? ”

The female voice seems to be talking about all these years of grievance. The white bear is ashamed and speechless. Lin Luoran is also deeply touched.

Is this huge forest really is, as the Rank Nine monster said, a hunting ground made by the immortals in Mount Penglai?

Therefore, no matter who the successor is, there will always be a Rank Nine monster as the reluctant guardian on the highest top of the mountain.

Therefore, the sea of Sin is around the forest.

Therefore, there are only two strange seasons, summer and winter. In the forest. All creatures here can't see through the actual power of each other. Poor living environment prevents these “captive” monsters from losing their wildness while controls the spread of monsters effectively?

If Penglai immortals really do all these for hunting… Are monsters that become intelligent and have the ability to speak just their preys when they get bored?

There is an impulse in Lin Luoran's heart.

“Please let me go… let me ask it for you. Are these so-called true immortals acting like this still take the Tao of nature seriously.”

She steps forward and the thick white mist moistens her curly hair. Her eyes are exceptionally firm with her honey-colored skin.

The white bear is picky about Lin Luoran talking too much. However, it can't refuse to admit the truth. At this moment, this stubborn and reckless human being is somewhat like the one who was not yet the successor and challenged the Rank Nine monster boldly for it.

Behind the slowly flowing white mist, a contemptuous laugh rings after a long time.

“Is it up to you?”

Is it up to you? The Rank Nine monster comparable to a Divinization cultivator definitely has the right to question Lin Luoran sarcastically.

It feels like that she is slapped hard. Lin Luoran still clenches her fist stubbornly, “Yes, it's up to me. I have passed the Sea of Sin to find Penglai and I will not just stop here.”

The female voice only says “oh” and then a shadow appears. Lin Luoran only sees a faint figure and then she is pushed very hard. She is like a rolling gourd and rolls down along the long and narrow path.

She knows she shouldn't know some secrets. However, does the monster have to murder her to prevent divulgence of its secrets?!

Lin Luoran's forehead hits the rock. She passes out before she gets the chance to see the figure clearly.
