Jiang Che was to head to the Demon Cave in three days, so he naturally needed to make preparations in advance and be fully prepared.
Although the Black Mountain Lord at the peak of the sixth rank was not a great threat to him, Jiang Che always firmly believed that caution was always the best policy.
This sentence is also one of Jiang Che's life mottoes.
After leaving the private room, Jiang Che went straight into the training room and began to refine the various spirit talismans needed for his journey to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
With enough rare and precious materials, various monster cores, and abundant resources, crafting spirit talismans was naturally a piece of cake for Jiang Che.
...........................
Time flies, and it was already noon in the blink of an eye.
At midday, the sun shone brightly, its intense heat streaming through the windows into the room, casting dappled, multicolored rays.
"snort………"
Galo let out a lazy, cute moan before groggily opening her beautiful eyes.
She yawned, stared blankly at the ceiling for two seconds, and the events of last night flashed through her mind like a dream. Various images floated up in her mind, and a blush appeared on Jialuo's pretty face.
"What a pervert!"
Jialuo pursed her red lips, bit her lip lightly, her eyes gradually becoming hazy, and her toes, encased in black stockings, began to curl slightly.
Jiang Che actually ate his own dumplings!
What kind of twisted husband did I end up with?!
Recalling her experiences of getting to know, become familiar with, and fall in love with Jiang Che over this period of time, Jialuo's lips curled up slightly, a bright smile bloomed on her pretty face, her heart rippled with waves of emotion, and her mind swayed endlessly.
Previously, Jialuo had never believed in the so-called love at first sight or predestined fate, and she always scoffed at it.
She gradually came to accept this viewpoint after experiencing it herself.
Galo also fully believed that her encounter with Jiang Che was all arranged by fate.
Otherwise, why would Jiang Che appear in time to save me from danger at such a critical moment, and even help me find many of the Thousand Caves books that I had lost?
After this period of sorting, Jialuo has completed the collection of all the books from the Thousand Caves that she brought back from the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range some time ago, which is about one-tenth of the total number of books lost by the Thousand Caves.
Although the quantity was not large, Galo was already quite satisfied.
If she were to search for these books by herself, it would take her an unknown amount of time.
Now that she has Jiang Che to rely on, she has hope for the future.
Galo's greatest wish now is to return to Chang'an with Jiang Che after finding all the books from the Thousand Caves, to be his devoted wife and his one and only.
In the end, she was able to have a son and a daughter, be a good wife and mother, and she had even thought of her daughter's name...
Despite having been stationed at the Great Wall for many years and being one of the generals of the Great Wall Guard, Galo has always been alone and solitary.
Even knowing that she would be leaving soon, she didn't feel much reluctance, but she was a little sad to leave her good friend Mulan.
Just as Jialuo was lost in thought, a cold and beautiful voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"Galuo, are you awake yet?"
Interrupted from her thoughts, Jialuo subconsciously looked up towards the doorway.
Upon seeing that the person who came was Hua Mulan, Jialuo chuckled softly.
"What a coincidence..."
With her brows furrowed slightly, she struggled to sit up from the bed before replying.
"She's awake... Sister Mulan, please come in..."
Having known Mulan for many years, even without using her divine sense to specifically check, Jialuo could naturally tell that the person outside was her Mulan sister.
After receiving Jialuo's approval, Hua Mulan pushed open the door and entered the side room.
With light steps, she walked to the bedside, gazed at Jialuo's exquisitely beautiful face, pursed her red lips, and asked with concern.
"Galuo, are you alright?"
Mulan originally wanted to ask more specific questions, but she thought she shouldn't be too blunt, so she spoke more tactfully.
When Mulan returned to the villa yesterday, she heard those beautiful and moving melodies and naturally understood what kind of torment her good sister had gone through yesterday.
Jiang Che is a complete beast!
Having been forced to eavesdrop all morning, Mulan couldn't even imagine how Jialuo had managed to persevere.
Looking at Jialuo, who was noticeably different from before, a hint of amazement flashed in Hua Mulan's eyes.
With the first rain and dew, Jialuo's brows already held a hint of feminine charm, and she possessed a gentle, mature woman's grace, as tender as water, and indescribably noble.
Her pretty face was flushed, and she looked very energetic, a stark contrast to her usual aloof and elegant demeanor.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Sister Mulan..."
Galo shook her head slightly, her pretty face flushing even more, and spoke with a strong and calm demeanor.
Despite appearing calm and collected on the surface, Galo couldn't help feeling a little shy and embarrassed inside.
After all, she had never had any experience in this area before.
"You really are something!"
"You didn't even discuss such an important decision with my sister before making it!"
Do you even care about me, your older sister?
Seeing that Jialuo seemed to be alright, Hua Mulan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He pulled up a chair and sat down next to Jialuo, staring at her with a deep gaze, before speaking helplessly.
She was referring to how decisively Jialuo chose to submit to Jiang Che, without even discussing it with her, her best friend, beforehand, which was indeed too hasty.
The easier something is to obtain, the less likely it is to be cherished.
How could my dear younger sister not understand this simple truth?
Even though she knew that acting so decisively was somewhat inappropriate, Galo still did it anyway.
Mulan was a little confused, having no idea what her good friend was thinking.
"Of course there are..."
"Although this decision may seem somewhat arbitrary, I have no regrets..."
Galo spoke with an extremely serious expression.
How could Mulan not understand the principles she was talking about?
However, when emotions run deep, one knows regret but is unwilling to regret it.
When you truly meet the one you love, you can't help but want to give them everything you have, and you often reflect on whether there's anything you could have done better.
Mulan has not yet met her true love, so naturally she cannot empathize with this kind of thinking.
"You are really hopeless!"
Seeing Jialuo's matter-of-fact attitude, Hua Mulan was speechless and complained.
She was somewhat confused, wondering where her aloof, noble, and unsmiling sister, Jialuo, had gone.
Is this little girl in front of me, who seems to have fallen in love, really my aloof little sister, Jialuo?
Does love really have such great magic?
Can it really change a person's personality?
"That's probably it..."
"I have truly fallen hopelessly in love with my husband, baby..."
Galo's tone carried a hint of wistfulness and emotion, and she also quite agreed with what Hua Mulan had said.
At this point, Jialuo paused slightly, raised her eyes to look at Hua Mulan in front of her, who was clad in armor, with red lips and white teeth, delicate features, snow-white skin, and a heroic bearing. She smiled gently, her smile as beautiful as a flower, and teased her.
"Sister Mulan is naturally unable to empathize with her younger sister's thoughts right now..."
"Sister Mulan will understand when she meets her true love..."
"Of course, no matter what kind of man Sister Mulan finds in the future, he will definitely not be as good as my husband, Bao Bao!"
In the end, Jialuo wrinkled her nose slightly, her face full of arrogance, and she couldn't hide her smugness.
"Yes, yes, yes...you're right..."
"Your husband is the best, isn't he!"
Mulan rolled her eyes dramatically, utterly speechless.
Jiang Che is already so old, why are you still calling him baby?
That's so cheesy!
Hua Mulan finally understood that her good friend seemed to have completely changed after successfully giving herself to Jiang Che.
The smile on her face never disappeared from the beginning; in the past, this would never have happened to Galo.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, Mulan knew that what Jialuo said was the truth.
As a general in the Great Wall Guard, Mulan wielded great power and influence. Over the years, she had encountered countless people of all kinds, including many exceptional talents.
In every respect, she had never met a young person more outstanding than Jiang Che.
Jiang Che's radiance was so dazzling, so perfect, that it always felt somewhat unreal, leaving his peers far behind.
When she was twenty years old, she had only just stepped into the Golden Core realm.
After being stationed on the frontier, guarding the Great Wall and defending against the invasion of monsters in the clouds, she faced danger every time and was on the verge of life and death many times. It was through constantly pushing her limits in the face of danger that she achieved what she has today.
This is precisely what is meant by the great opportunities that lie between life and death.
She had only just reached the Golden Core stage when she was twenty, while Jiang Che had already reached the Divine Transformation stage, far surpassing her by many times; they were simply incomparable.
Even she herself paled in comparison to Jiang Che's dazzling brilliance, so how much better off could the others be?
Despite knowing that Jialuo was telling the truth, Mulan remained indifferent, since she had never even considered finding a man.
Thinking of Jiang Che, Hua Mulan slapped her forehead, finally remembering the purpose of her visit to Jialuo today.
After carefully considering his tone and wording, he began to speak.
