Chapter 446 - 446 445 What Taboo Did I Violate

Chapter 446: Chapter 445: What Taboo Did I Violate? Chapter 446: Chapter 445: What Taboo Did I Violate? In the end, Tang Zelin still couldn’t resist his wife’s sugar-coated bullets and agreed to take Su Shu to the Pengcheng area.

But there were conditions: this time, Su Shu must absolutely obey his commands and definitely not repeat what happened last time when, after he had left the safe zone, she went out alone.

He couldn’t bear to see her in such danger; his heart was about to leap out of his chest.

As long as he took her to the Pengcheng area, she would surely obey, right?

After explaining the necessary preparations, Tang Zelin returned to his military duties, setting their departure for three days later at dawn.

Dawn was chosen to avoid the dangers that lay after leaving the city.

After Tang Zelin left, Su Shu directly entered the space with Xiao’ai. The “playmates” were plentiful there, and Xiao’ai enjoyed playing in the space.

While she and the Little Red Snake chased chickens for fun, Su Shu went to visit the study by the riverbank with the Little Snake King and the Fox.

“I’ve managed to secure the opportunity to go to Pengcheng,” Su Shu said, “which is perfect for checking on the old home of the peach trees. I don’t even know if the Peach Grove is still there.”

“We’ll see when we get there. I’ll also go back and check if that group of snake dancers is still around,” said the Little Snake King.

The Fox asked, “Are they like you?”

The Little Snake King shook his head, “No, they’re just ordinary. But the Peng Mountain is indeed special—there’s something inside it. The mountain treasures and wild beasts there can’t communicate with spirits, but they possess more spiritual energy than those in other places.”

After speaking, he turned to Su Shu and said, “By the way, can we enter the mountains this trip to Pengcheng? If we can, I’ll help you find that patch of Lingzhi. You can take those Lingzhi back; they’re good stuff. You might need them in the future. If you don’t, let your man have them to strengthen his body.”

“Weren’t those Lingzhi not to be touched?”

She remembered the old rules of Peng Village, which did not allow villagers to steal Lingzhi from Between Cliffs Mountain.

The Little Snake King snorted coldly, “That’s because their ancestors offended something in Peng Mountain. There were too many murders a long time ago, so afterwards they stopped letting descendants enter. However, I haven’t stayed in Peng Mountain long enough to have witnessed that chaos a hundred years ago.”

Su Shu hummed in acknowledgment, “So, you’re saying there’s no taboo for me to take them back?”

“What taboo? The Fox already said that in this world, it can’t find another living being with spiritual energy,” the Little Snake King said with a hint of inexplicable irritation. “I don’t even know what the three of us are being kept around for.”

“The heavens surely have their own reasons,” the Fox remarked.

On the journey to Pengcheng, one must cross the lawless borderlands between two provinces, where refugees, bandits, and outlaws abound. Even with several provinces’ military and police forces joining in repeated sweeps, these criminals sprout up again and again, like weeds after one batch is gone.

Therefore, she knew that Tang Zelin’s concerns were not expressed lightly.

Having lived through the chaos of her previous life, no one understood better than Su Shu how low humanity could sink once society’s conventional rules ceased to exist.

Naturally, she would not be careless. She rummaged through the warehouse, retrieving all the self-defense weapons she had bought online in her previous life. Aside from firearms, which she had not managed to acquire then, she had everything else needed, whether for close combat face-to-face or sneaky escapes.

If none of that worked, then she had one last resort—retreating into the space.

But she wouldn’t resort to that step unless absolutely necessary.

It would attract even greater greed and trouble.
