Chapter 138 Wyvern Hill
Ravenwood Manor
As Sebastian shrugged off his coat, he asked coldly, “Did you find it p>
Foster, trailing behind him, quickly handed over the talet. “We did. Based on the photo Ms. Lilian posted on Twitter, we traced the location to Wyvern Hill in the neighboring county”
“On a mountain?” Sebastian raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, sir,” Foster replied. “That spot is on Wyvern Hill. Ixplains why we haven’t been able to pinpoint Ms. Lilian’s exact location this whole time p>
Ever since Sebastian had ordered them to track Lilian’s whereabouts, they had used every tool and method available-yet nothing had turned up. They never expected her to be living on a mountain.
Sebastian slouched lazily into the sofa, eyes narrowing the screen. As he scrolled through Lilian’s Twitter feed and saw the countless comments thirsting after the girl, a cold gleam flashed through his deep, dark
cyes.
Foster tread carefully. “Please don’t mind the comments Ms. Lilian didn’t reply to a single one of them p>
Sebastian’s obsidian gaze darkened. “Make arrangements. We’re going to Wyvern Hill tomorrow p>
Meanwhile, completely unaware that a certain someone had already locked in on her location, Lilian was cultivating peacefully in her secluded space.
The Next Morning
At the break of dawn, Lilian took Sunny and headed into the mountains to gather herbs.
Though it was only early spring, many rare medicinal herbs were at their peak during this season-too good an opportunity to miss.
Having grown up in these mountains, Lilian knew Wyvern Hill like the back of her hand.
She chose an easier trail and had already collected quite a few herbs along the way. Though they were mostly common varieties, they were wild and potent-excellent in medicinal quality.
Sunny darted ahead like a flash of lightning, zigzagging through the trees. Lilian chuckled at the little creature’s antics and turned her attention back to the ground. At her feet, she spotted a young mountain ginseng. It wasn’t as valuable as ginseng, but it was still quite decent. She carefully dug it out and tossed it straight into her space.
She continued deeper into the woods and eventually found a patch of golden threadgrass hidden in the brush. Her lips curved in satisfaction-this trip was already worth it.
Suddenly, Sunny bounded back toward her, tugging at her pant leg and trying to drag her deeper into the forest.
Lilian had warned him not to speak outside the space, case someone overheard-so Sunny could only communicate with gestures.
After a moment’s hesitation, she followed him. He ran ahead, constantly turning back to make sure she was still behind.

Trailing after him, Lilian was surprised to find an abundance of aged herbs growing along the path. Without hesitation, she swept them all into her space.
“Chirrp chirrp…!” Sunny was growing frantic, scratching his ears and waving his paws, urging her to move faster.
Lilian had no choice but to keep going.
After about forty minutes, her eyes lit up-then widened in disbelief. She rushed forward and stared at the massive stretch of herbs in front of her, lips twitching.
She got to work immediately.
It took two whole hours of nonstop digging to clear out he area.
After stuffing the last of the herbs into her space, she clapped the dirt from her hands.
Then she pulled out a bunch of grapes from her space and handed them to Sunny. “Here. Your reward p>
Sunny lifted his head proudly and snatched the grapes without hesitation, popping them into his mouth. one after another.
Lilian shook her head, amused. Who would’ve thought this little guy would be so useful? I wouldn’t have found all this without him.
She looked up at the sun overhead, then found a large, flat rock and laid down on it to rest.
Meanwhile-
A certain someone had already arrived at the entrance of her courtyard.
Sebastian stood in front of the ancient-style residence, unable to believe that someone actually lived here on the mountain.
Surrounded by layers of mist and encircled by mountains, the place looked like something out of a fairytale.
And to think the little one had grown up here.
His heart softened unexpectedly, laced with a strange, lingering ache.
