Lilian looked around at the pitch-black surroundings and sighed in frustration. She had only meant to rest for a little while, but somehow dozed off on the stone. By the time she woke, it was already night. There was no way she could make it back before dark.
Cradling the little fox in her arms, she ventured deeper into the mountain, hoping to find some kind of shelter for the night.
Sunny pointed insistently ahead with his paw, and Liliar, too tired to argue, followed his lead.
About half an hour later, she found herself standing in front of a cave. She glanced at Sunny with surprise. I’ve roamed these mountains all my life. How have I never noticed this cave before?
Sunny had already leapt from her arms and darted inside.
Lilian hurried after him.
The cave was dimly lit, but her vision wasn’t hindered.
She hadn’t expected the cave to be so deep. As she moved further in, her eyes were suddenly drawn to a glowing green plant growing from a crack in the rock wall.
It
gave
off a soft, luminous light.
She stared at it, trying to recall what it was-but nothing came to mind.
That’s when Blue’s voice rang out from within her space “Little Master! That’s the Light Herb! It’s mentioned in one of the ancient texts your old master left behind-it’s said to bring people back from the brink of death p>
Recognition clicked. Lilian now remembered seeing it in an old book tucked away in the attic of her spiritual space. She had never imagined she’d come across one in the real world.
Just as she was about to approach it, Sunny stopped her
“You didn’t notice what’s next to the plant?” he warned.
Lilian leaned in-and finally spotted it.
Curled next to the Light Herb was a small green snake.
She recognized it immediately: the deadly Crimson Vipe Its venom was so toxic that even a single bite was fatal. She’d only read about it in books-this was her first time seeing one in person. And she hated slithery things more than anything.
Her face paled. She looked at Sunny helplessly. “What now p>
“Watch and learn!” Sunny said smugly.
With a swift leap, he pounced on the snake and bit dow precisely at its neck, then darted off into the woods with it.
With the danger handled, Lilian approached the plant and carefully dug it out, roots and all, placing it straight into her space.

But the moment she pulled the Light Herb from the so, the ground beneath her gave a deep rumble-and suddenly split open.
Lilian jumped back in shock. It was a hidden trigger? All that just for a plant?
Inside the newly opened hole was an old, dust-covered hest. Its craftsmanship made it clear-it had been buried here for a long time.
She crouched down and examined the lock: an ancient u Ban mechanism. But to her, it wasn’t difficult.
With a bit of fiddling-click-the lock gave way.
As she lifted the lid, a blinding light filled the cave.
Lilian was stunned.
The chest was filled with gold bars, priceless scrolls and paintings, antiques, and over a dozen night pearls- each even larger than the ones her master had given her
For someone who’d seen plenty in her life, even Lilian was left speechless.
Whoever buried this must have never imagined it’d go unused-and instead be discovered by her.
She quickly stored everything in her space, then buried the trapdoor again to prevent unnecessary trouble. Once all traces were cleared, she turned to leave.
Sunny had nearly played the snake to death by then. Upon seeing Lilian reemerge, he dropped the viper and bounded up to her side.
Back in her space, Lilian got to work replanting all the herbs she’d gathered-including the Light Herb.
She stayed up through the night processing everything.
Only then did she finally examine the contents of the chest. The scrolls turned out to be long-lost masterpieces, vanishing from history for nearly a thousand years. No one knew they’d been hidden away.
If they ever resurfaced, they’d shake the world of art and history to its core.
By the time she left the space, dawn had broken.
She quickened her pace, finally reaching home by noon
As soon as she stepped through the gate, she called out, Master, I’m back! Did you miss me p>
Before she could finish, she froze.
A man sat in the courtyard, bathed in warm winter sunlight. It cast a soft glow over his handsome face. He held a steaming cup of tea and looked up at her with a gaze that was amused, yet unreadable.
Lilian had never expected Sebastian to appear here, of all places. She shot him a glare at his teasing expression, then spotted Leonard walking out from the house.
She turned to him. “Master, why is he here p>
“You girl!” Leonard scolded with a straight face. “You didn’t come back all night. Had me worried sick p>

Lilian dropped her basket and ran over to him, clutching his arm with a grin. “Master, you’ve got me all wrong. I stayed out to gather herbs for you! I made a huge haul this time. Want to see p>
She even batted her eyes playfully at him.
Sebastian had never seen this side of her before-the way she clung to Leonard’s arm, eyes bright and full of affection. She was entirely unguarded. Her every expression, her every move-pure, open, radiant.
And it made his heart stir even more.
Leonard patted her head with a soft smile. “Go on, then. The Whitmore boy came looking for you yesterday p>
Lilian rolled her eyes at Sebastian and turned to Leonard again with a pout. “Master, you don’t even care that your disciple’s starving p>
“Go wash up. I’ll have Lorraine make you something good p>
With that, Lilian headed off to her room, completely ignoring Sebastian as she passed.
