Chapter 591: Chapter 581: The Path Life Gives, The Path I Choose for You

The Little Tiger Whale docked at a floating island.

Su Mu held Nannan’s little hand and arrived on the floating island. As soon as they stepped onto it, the fresh scent of soil and the fragrance of grass filled the air.

Nannan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said with delight, "Papa, what is this place?"

"Come, follow me and you’ll find out."

Su Mu held Nannan’s small hand and walked towards the depths of the floating island.

Walking on the soft soil, the two of them strolled slowly. Around them were uniquely shaped trees, interwoven with colorful vines hanging from them, each bearing a crystal-clear, fragrant Spirit Fruit.

Swish, swish—

You could also hear little squirrels holding pinecones bigger than themselves, nimbly darting between the trees.

As Nannan walked, she gazed around with her lively big eyes, curiously taking in everything around her. Clearly, Nannan was very curious, happy, and amazed.

She would also pluck Spirit Fruits along the way and store them in her Dantian Space.

These were top-quality ingredients for making gourmet dishes. Since she saw them, of course, Nannan had to pick them and take them home to store.

Because with so many people at home, the more food, the better.

...

Soon, the two of them finally reached the center of the floating island.

The aura of the Spiritual Spring greeted them, swirling around them. Before them appeared one spiritual spring after another.

"Papa, what are these?"

"These are Spiritual Springs I discovered while patrolling the river. You can soak in them."

"Want to try it?" Su Mu asked with a smile.

"Okay!" Nannan nodded her head.

Nannan found a small spiritual spring, stepped inside with her little feet.

After soaking for just a while, Nannan’s little face turned rosy.

"Papa, aren’t you going to soak?"

Hearing this, Su Mu replied with a smile, "Papa won’t soak."

Su Mu surveyed the surroundings, arranging some array markers.

Once Su Mu finished setting them up, Nannan’s voice came over, "Papa, I’m done!"

Nannan looked somewhat intoxicated, with a blush appearing on her fair cheeks.

....

"Let’s go to the next place."

Su Mu held Nannan’s hand and returned to the back of the Little Tiger Whale.

The Little Tiger Whale set off again, heading to the second location.

The second location was also a floating island, but this one was different from the previous one.

This floating island was much larger, covered with tall trees, dotted with fireflies, butterflies fluttering among flowers and leaves, resembling a dreamlike Ancient Forest.

Nannan sat on a vine swing, her bell-like laughter echoing through the woods, drawing butterflies to flutter around her.

In response, Su Mu also left an array marker on the second floating island.

.......

After playing around, Su Mu arrived at the third floating island.

This third floating island was the island where Fang Yuan lived.

Like Wu Di, Fang Yuan also followed Su Mu and received Su Mu’s great recognition and trust.

....

"Hello, Uncle Fang!"

"Papa has told me about you, Uncle Fang," Nannan introduced herself graciously upon meeting Fang Yuan, "My name is Nannan."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan was momentarily stunned, then looked up to meet Su Mu’s gaze.

He immediately understood Su Mu’s intention and nodded.

This island, due to Fang Yuan’s insect cultivation, was filled with rare exotic insects. Most of them had been refined by Fang Yuan, and those that were still unrefined and potentially dangerous had been driven to the island’s edges and wouldn’t harm Nannan.

Nannan was very interested in these rare insects, and Fang Yuan patiently introduced her to their names, characteristics, and abilities.

Although it was Fang Yuan’s first time meeting Nannan, he was very fond of this adorable and clever girl.

He sincerely marveled at how incredibly strong Su Mu’s daughter’s cultivation talent could be.

After playing for a while, Su Mu asked Nannan to wait for him on the Little Tiger Whale’s back.

Su Mu then had a private conversation with Fang Yuan.

"If one day the Little Tiger Whale passes by your place with Nannan, it means... I am in danger."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan nodded and solemnly said, "Don’t worry, my lord. I, Fang Yuan, will protect Nannan with my life."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "I am not asking you to sacrifice yourself so much. If that day comes, escort Nannan out of the river to the outside world and find a safe place to settle her down."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan nodded heavily.

"My lord, have you met with any trouble?" Fang Yuan asked tentatively.

Su Mu shook his head and said, "No, I just... wanted to tell you in advance. I also hope that day never comes."

"My lord, there’s no need to inform me in advance. As long as Nannan is in danger, I will ensure her safety," Fang Yuan replied.

Hearing this, Su Mu nodded and patted Fang Yuan heavily on the shoulder, saying nothing more.

Because he knew Fang Yuan was a trustworthy person, he didn’t need to say much sometimes.

.......

After saying goodbye to Fang Yuan, Su Mu returned to the back of the Little Tiger Whale.

And headed to the next place.

"Nannan, this Uncle Fang is a very trusted brother of your Papa."

"You can trust him."

While on the way, Su Mu told Nannan.

After hearing this, Nannan nodded and said, "Uncle Fang is very kind to me. I trust him a lot. As long as they’re Papa’s friends, I trust them all."

Hearing these words, Su Mu squatted down, looked into Nannan’s eyes, and said, word by word, "Nannan, remember your Papa’s words."

"Apart from the uncles and aunties Papa has introduced to you, and those he’s mentioned but you haven’t met, you must not trust anyone else."

"Do you understand?"

Nannan nodded heavily, "Okay, I understand."

Su Mu had many friends and numerous followers, but there were few he could truly trust wholeheartedly.

Fang Yuan was one of them.

......

Su Mu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the route ahead.

This route was very familiar to him, etched deeply into his heart.

Not just Su Mu, but the Little Tiger Whale had also traveled it many, many times with its owner. Even if its eyes were gouged out, it could still find this path and complete it correctly. It was engraved in its soul, impossible to forget.

.....

Soon, the Little Tiger Whale docked in front of a very unusual floating island.

Su Mu took Nannan’s hand and came onto the floating island, looking ahead, he said to Nannan, "Papa will introduce you to the second uncle."
