Chapter 15: The Mystery of the Sacred Spring
One evening, while exploring the forested hills surrounding the village, Lin Yuer stumbles upon a hidden spring. The water is clear and strangely refreshing, with a faint, sweet taste. Intrigued, she collects a small amount to test. After using it for several days, she notices her skin feels healthier, and she has more energy.
Realizing the potential of this mysterious spring, she begins using the water in her bathhouse and even her products. The villagers quickly notice the difference, marveling at the unique quality of the bathhouse water and the effectiveness of her products.
However, Lin Yuer keeps the source of the spring a secret, knowing that its discovery could either lead to her ruin or solidify her influence. The villagers see her products as almost magical, heightening her reputation but also adding a layer of mystery. Even Li Wei, who has grown more curious about her past, senses there is more to Lin Yuer than meets the eye.
