ct…it might be the ghost of a prisoner inhabiting that torture device…” Lao Liu dared not approach the entrance, stopping his steps ten meters away. “You see, that’s where…dare you go down and take a...Mu Wanchen held me, his chin resting on my forehead. His voice was soft as he said, "When I'm alone, time doesn't seem long. When we're together, time doesn't seem long either…"

The most terrifying thing is getting used to having someone by your side, only to find one day that you can't reach them.

“Shall we go to the beach in a while” I drew my hands out from his embrace, turning to cup his face.

"What do you want to do" His deep gaze locked onto mine.

I didn't intend to lie, though the child did speak to me in hushed tones, I know that Mu Wanchen must have heard.

He could hear the sound of the wind, how could he not hear my words beside him

"They're afraid you'll make things difficult for them," I answered honestly.

"No." He shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Little Luo'er, perhaps you don't understand, how important you are to me... As long as I can settle the lives of my clansmen, I can accompany you according to your lifestyle."

"Immortality, thousands of years, these hold no appeal for me. I only want to peacefully and calmly stay by your side."

He closed his eyes slightly, his breath brushing against my lips.

Such intimacy was too intoxicating, heaven and earth were not as good as the world in his embrace.

With such a loving companion, why would one need to seek out the mythical Peach Blossom Spring

The tender and intimate moments didn't last long. I felt like I had only closed my eyes for a moment, but when I opened them again, the sky outside seemed different.

What's going on

Mu Wanchen was still by my side. As soon as I moved, he immediately woke up and looked at the sky with some confusion.

“The shaman said she could help Duke of the Stars dispel the yin and miasma. Is she casting a spell” I remembered what the little boy had told me. This must be our chance to escape in two different directions.

"I'll go take a look." Mu Wanchen put on his clothes and got up.

He pulled open the door, and a blast of cold wind blew in, scattering the warm atmosphere inside and clearing my head considerably.

After all, Ji Dou Xingjun was a celestial being from the Upper Realm. Once he recovered, he could easily cause a stir.

The witch wanted to keep Mu Wanchen, so she naturally wouldn't easily tear up her face — she was very indulgent towards Mu Wanchen, and we weren't under strict surveillance here in the first floor.

By the time I got dressed, Mu Wanchen was already back. He said to me, “Ji Dou Xingjun, Luo Hou Xingjun, and the little boy are not in the room, they must have gone to the second floor. I can't leave you alone here, let's go see what's going on together.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, the nine-tailed fox demon hiding outside the second floor returned with a gust of demonic wind, covering her mouth and whispering, "My Lord Wu Wang, there seems to be some kind of accident on the second floor... Just now, this servant heard fleeing souls say that the medicine spring has boiled over..."

Boiling spring water

Who's magic is this

Mu Wanchen frowned slightly, and turned around to go check the second floor.

"...Little Princess," the nine-tailed fox suddenly narrowed its eyes and whispered my name.

I understand I understand, this is the time to run!

"Wanchen! Let's go to the beach!"

Within the vast wilderness, there are four seas. Beyond the four seas lies the Immortal Mountain. At the bottom of that boundless ocean is our direction back home.

Mu Wanchen glanced in the direction of the Second Floor: “If I leave, I'm worried that Wugü will be merciless to them.”

"After all, they are celestial beings. It wouldn't be easy for Wugü to deal with them, would it" I took Mu Wanchen's arm and dragged him out.

The nine-tailed fox demon suddenly whipped up a gust of demonic wind, obscuring the sky and enveloping us.

I thought this guy wanted to "defect." After all, he's a demon who trained here, and his stance is hard to discern.

"Little princess, don't be afraid, hee hee... demonic energy can conceal your auras, as a cover..." the fox demon explained.

"...With so much demonic energy surrounding you, it's bound to attract attention, isn't it" I said, frowning.

The nine-tailed fox let out a sly smile, her voice laced with a hint of resigned helplessness: “Here, demon and spirit alike are considered inferior beings. These disciples under the witch’s command would only see me as sullying their ethereal purity, and they all avoid me.”

Well then...

"Well, I hope you're sincere about wanting to help. If we can get back successfully, we'll definitely take you with us." I nodded.

The Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly transformed, its massive tail wrapped in demonic energy and smoke, shielding us completely. It even bowed to me.

Mu Wanchen frowned slightly and pulled me aside, whispering in my ear, "Don't get yourself into trouble. Words are commands here. For these cultivated monsters, every word is an unbreakable contract."

I nodded and said, "No violation, as long as it's sincere help, I'll keep my word and not abandon it."

"Hee hee hee, Your Highness is a woman of her word. I'll follow your lead. If you can take me away, I promise to repay your kindness."

I didn't expect it to repay my kindness, but it's certainly helping us escape right now. If we can make it back safely, taking it with us would be a small favor.

"Hee hee, the little princess is kind-hearted. Why don't you give this servant a name" Underneath the swirling demonic winds, that nine-tailed fox grinned at me with a very cunning smile.

I glanced at Mu Wanchen and casually said, "My family name is Mu. Just follow your family's surname, and be a good subordinate to Mu Wanchen. Don't betray us."

The Nine-Tailed Fox giggled, "Your Highness is friends with the Celestial Immortal, how could this servant dare to deceive you Hee hee hee…"

It was extremely excited, the demonic wind surging, it took us and walked out. Mu Wanchen shook his head with a wry smile, looking at me: "You... can you just agree to any contract made with a demon"

I snuggled into his arm and hummed, "It's fine, a magnanimous heart can accommodate all. It's convenient for both parties. Come on, let's go before this auspicious wind dissipates!"mouth, a massive skull emerged from within, shrouded in white smoke.As soon as we took a step, the wooden door slammed shut behind us, blocked by a heavy miasma of ghostly energy."Mu Xiaoqiao...
