Qiu Changtian proceeded cautiously along the stream.
The ground was everywhere covered with piled-up fallen leaves, which felt incredibly soft underfoot.
Qiu Changtian did not like this kind of environment because if a trap were hidden beneath the leaves somewhere, he would have no way to identify or investigate it.
However, since Luo Yan had said that this barrier was a test of one's ability to "resist temptation," then presumably...
...there shouldn't be any strange design like "traps."
After walking several tens of steps further, the river joined a lake.
In the middle of the lake, a faint, graceful figure seemed to be bathing in the water.
A faint, pleasing song drifted over:
"There are trees on the mountain with branches high, my heart is pleased with you, yet you don't know why..."
Qiu Changtian's gaze swept the lakeshore and spotted a neat pile of a woman's dress on a large stone.
Well, all the elements are in place.
