“Yes, I also think it’s Little Ping An’s greatest fortune to have met Mu Bai.” Chen’s mother nodded in agreement, her face filled with approval.
As she spoke, she reached out and gently stroked Chen Ping An’s head.
“Maybe.”
Li Mu Bai shook his head and didn’t offer any further explanation.
He simply desired peace of mind.
Whether this path was good or bad for Chen Ping An,
only Chen Ping An could judge for himself.
“Alright, we’ve said all we need to, let’s start searching for the stones!” Li Mu Bai announced, taking off his shoes, rolling up his pants, and stepping into the water.
His body had been transformed by the Qing Ping Sword.
It was even more potent than ordinary divine weapons.
Naturally, he was immune to both heat and cold.
This winter chill was nothing to him.
Seeing him do so, Chen Ping An followed suit.
With Chen’s mother’s divine power, he felt an immediate sense of familiarity when he submerged himself in the river.
This was his first time experiencing such a sensation.
He couldn't help but savor the feeling before starting to search for the stones.
Upon seeing them,
Zhi Gui blinked her eyes, took off her shoes and socks, revealing her delicate white jade feet, and rolled up her pants, following them into the water.
Although Zhi Gui was currently residing in the Li Zhu Cave Heaven, she couldn’t utilize her powers without paying a price unless Li Mu Bai wasn’t practicing swordsmanship or wasn’t in a state of independent space.
But no matter what, she was still a true dragon.
She possessed an innate affinity for water that ordinary people lacked.
Moreover, her body was inherently stronger than that of ordinary humans.
So, the winter water was no match for her.
However, even though Zhi Gui wasn’t afraid of the cold, she still couldn’t easily find the snake gall stones.
She had searched for a long time but couldn’t find a single one.
Even though she was a true dragon, and these snake gall stones were formed from the essence of her dragon blood, it was still difficult to find them.
This was because, within the Li Zhu Cave Heaven, these snake gall stones were considered opportunities.
Opportunities within the Li Zhu Cave Heaven were not something you could simply take.
Some people, upon entering the water, could easily find these snake gall stones with a single touch.
Others, even after spending days and nights searching, wouldn’t find a single one.
It was truly strange.
“Huh? Finding these snake gall stones isn’t difficult at all.”
In contrast to Zhi Gui’s experience, Li Mu Bai quickly found many stones.
He didn’t even use his own abilities, he simply searched randomly.
But even so, each time he grabbed a handful of water, he would find a snake gall stone.
Truly, when it came to fortune.
He, who possessed the Qing Ping Sword, was incredibly blessed.
On the other side.
Chen Ping An, after entering the water, also quickly found snake gall stones.
He found several in quick succession.
This speed surprised him.
In the past, it took him a long time to find even a single stone.
This was the first time he had found so many in such a short period.
He was both surprised and excited.
After all, Li Mu Bai had said that each of these snake gall stones was very valuable in the outside world.
These were treasures!
Each time he found a stone, a bright smile spread across his face.
While the three of them were searching for stones, Chen’s mother remained on the bank.
She smiled as she watched them.
Although Li Mu Bai and Zhi Gui were special, in her eyes, they were still just children.
She had also played in the water and searched for stones with other children when she was young.
She had also seen many children doing the same when she was washing clothes.
Seeing this scene again brought back a flood of memories.
At the same time, her eyes filled with tenderness.
It was so nice to see Little Ping An carefree and happy, playing in the water with his friends.
It was just a shame that Ping An's father couldn't witness this.
If he could see this, he would be very happy.
At this thought, Chen’s mother’s eyes softened.
“My dear husband, can you see? Your efforts have not been in vain. Ping An is now living the life you wanted him to have.”
“He will only get better and better.”
Chen’s mother murmured.
Her soft murmur didn’t escape Li Mu Bai’s ears.
Li Mu Bai’s hearing had improved significantly.
Hearing these words, Li Mu Bai felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
He wondered if his parents in his previous life missed him after he transmigrated.
They probably did.
Fortunately, his younger sister was there to take care of them.
As these thoughts passed through his mind, Li Mu Bai continued his search for stones.
Now that he had transmigrated, dwelling on the past was pointless.
Unless he could one day return.
——————————
After an hour or so, Li Mu Bai and Chen Ping An had collected a full basket of snake gall stones.
Zhi Gui, on the other hand, was holding two stones, her expression full of frustration and annoyance.
These stones were made from her dragon blood.
Yet, it was so difficult for her to find them.
These snake gall stones were being so rebellious.
She wished they would let her find more of them.
