Chapter 333

In that vast and boundless continent lies a place resembling a secluded paradise—Taoyuan Village. The village is surrounded by green hills, with rolling mountain ranges resembling Mother Earth's gentle arms, holding Taoyuan Village tightly in her embrace. The mountains boast lush vegetation and evergreen foliage, their rich greenery seeming as though it could flow out. Clear streams occasionally meander down from the mountains like nimble silver snakes, winding through the village and infusing this land with life and vitality. Willows lean gracefully by the streams, their slender branches swaying in the breeze like a maiden's hair, lightly brushing the water's surface and sending ripples outward. Scattered throughout the village are quaint houses built mostly of grey bricks and dark tiles, their walls covered in emerald vines that lend an air of tranquility and peace to the entire settlement. Between the houses run winding paths paved with smooth, rounded pebbles. Polished by the passage of time, their surfaces are as smooth as mirrors, shimmering with a faint luster under the sunlight.
