“Xi Meng——” Xiaopu ran over from a distance, shouting.
Looking at my empty hands still frozen in place, with nothing left... I mechanically raised my head to see Xiaopu who looked quite startled.
“Xi Meng, are you okay?!” Xiaopu asked.
“Yeah.” I nodded numbly.
“What about the clan? Is there any trouble?”
“The clan is fine, thanks to the Second Young Master notifying us in advance and arranging for the clan members to hide temporarily, avoiding disaster,” Xiaopu said, glancing around at the numerous corpses with a sense of lingering fear.
I got up, organized my emotions, and looked at the gradually fading light in the sky. Perhaps this was the best outcome between Flower Tears and Mosang.
“Xiaopu, go prepare; we need to set off as soon as possible.”
“Okay, I'll arrange for the clan members right away,” Xiaopu replied.
“Xi Meng, are you all leaving?” Bai Zhan approached and asked as he watched Xiaopu walk away.
“Yeah, we've stayed here long enough; it's time to leave,” I said.
“I have to thank you for this; without you, Holy Spirit Village might have—”
“Alright, Bai Zhan, you should not be thanking me this time... Besides, I would rather not have come here at all.”
Another person left my side... Sigh, fortunately, Mosang left without regrets; let’s consider it him putting all his worries to rest.
"What should she do?" I looked at Zhen'er, who was slumped on the ground with a dazed expression.
"Don't worry, I'll find someone to keep a close watch on Zhen'er. She won't be allowed to go out and harm others again," Bai Zhan said with a bitter look.
"Alright, you handle it then." I nodded.
Suddenly, I thought of the unconscious child and asked Bai Zhan, "Has that boy woken up?"
"Yes, he has woken up. The parents of those children asked me to thank you again."
It's good that he has woken up. It seems Mosang sensed the Nether Energy and summoned Morning Child, but unexpectedly, it affected that boy. His unconsciousness must be closely related to Zhen'er.
With things having come to this point, there was no need for further speculation; it was best to end it now.
"It's fine. Please also tell Morning Child not to forget what he said," I smiled, recalling that little one who seriously stated he would protect everyone in the village when he grew up.
"Xi Meng, will you... come back again?" Bai Zhan suddenly called out to me.
"Bai Zhan, I hope you can protect Holy Spirit Village. We... cannot escape our fate. I'm glad to have met everyone. As for the future, I can't say. Hehe, I'll leave the matters concerning the Spirit Cat Clan to you."
"Yes, I understand," Bai Zhan said somewhat dejectedly.
Indeed, this meeting might truly be our last.
...
As I left Holy Spirit Village once more, a sense of emptiness began to settle in my heart. How far must this road still stretch?
“Xi Meng, where are we going next?” Xiaopu asked with a bright smile.
Seeing that Xiaopu seemed unaware of what might happen on this journey, her lively and innocent demeanor made me feel a bit uncomfortable.
However, Xiaopu's question did catch me off guard. It was a coincidence that Xiaopu found the owner of the Life Stone, and it wouldn't be that simple moving forward. I truly didn't know where to find the remaining companions.
“I... I'm not sure either,” I sighed.
“Huh? How are we supposed to search in such a vast underworld?!”
“Well, we can only go wherever we can and see what happens... I'm sorry, Xiaopu, for dragging you into this.”
“What are you talking about, Xi Meng? I volunteered; we're all here to protect our people,” Xiaopu said, giving me a big smile.
“Master.” Little Pink suddenly appeared in front of me, calling softly.
“What is it, Little Pink?”
Little Pink had been distracted lately; sometimes it would just disappear, looking lost. Whenever I asked what was wrong, it wouldn’t tell me.
“If you’re unsure where to go, could we first visit the Beast Forest?” Little Pink suggested.
“Is there something going on there?”
“Yes, I want to go back and discuss something with my mother,” Little Pink said, blinking its big eyes and flapping its wings earnestly.
“Alright then, let’s go there and see if we have any luck,” I smiled.
Xiaopu seemed very excited to talk about our first experience in Beast Forest, smiling as he recounted the scene.
“...Do you think the prince liked you from that time?” Xiaopu shifted the topic to Silver Moon.
I felt a bit awkward; I had mentioned what happened to Xiaopu, but I had only briefly touched on my relationship with Silver Moon without going into detail.
“So, do you like the prince?” Xiaopu pressed on, getting closer and looking at me with a mischievous grin.
My heart tightened, and I stopped in my tracks. “Yes, I really like him. I think about him every day.”
Moon, I'm still trying hard. Please wait for me; I will definitely rescue everyone.
“Alright, I get it, you two have a good relationship.” Xiaopu laughed even more brightly, glancing at me from time to time, cheerful and carefree.
...
Beast Forest.
“Be careful, Xiaopu, stay close to me,” I said cautiously. I recalled how I almost got into trouble during my first visit here due to carelessness.
“Don't worry, Xi Meng. With your current level, no magical beast would dare approach us. They aren't that foolish,” Xiaopu replied nonchalantly.
“Yeah, master, with your level, no magical beast would challenge you. You can relax a bit,” Little Pink added.
I was taken aback; that was true. Most of the magical beasts in Beast Forest were likely not very high in level. If there were any extremely powerful ones, they would not escape being captured; those lucky enough not to be tamed were probably hiding somewhere, waiting to transform into human form and leave this place.
“But we still need to be cautious. Although most who come here are capturing magical beasts, it would be troublesome if we ran into someone from Siyimo,” I said.
"Yes, indeed," Xiaopu nodded.
"Master, I want to go ahead and find my mother," Little Pink hesitated for a long time before finally saying this.
Once a magical beast recognizes its master, it prioritizes its master above all else and generally does not have any ties to its own kind. Therefore, Little Pink was somewhat troubled.
"That's fine. Are you still worried about me?" I replied.
"If anything happens, I will come back immediately!" Little Pink said gratefully.
"Alright, go quickly."
Little Pink immediately vanished into the jungle, leaving no trace behind.
Originally, with Little Pink's current strength, I had nothing to worry about. However, seeing it in such an unusual state still made me feel a bit concerned.
"It seems that your magical beast is in some trouble," Xiaopu remarked beside me.
"Since it didn't tell me, I trust it can handle things on its own."
...
"Xi Meng, do you hear that? Is there the sound of fighting?" After walking for a while, Xiaopu suddenly said.
Indeed, I heard it too!
Xiaopu nimbly leaped to the top of a giant tree and looked around.
“Pure Sound, fly—” I also took to the air, standing beside Xiaopu.
“Look, it seems like two groups are fighting over something... Is that a magical beast?” Xiaopu pointed and said.
I looked over and saw two opposing groups, with a dark object lying in the middle; they must be fighting over that magical beast.
“Let’s get a bit closer to take a look,” I suggested.
Xiaopu and I quietly moved forward a little, observing the scene before us.
There weren’t many people on either side. One group was older, consisting of four individuals, their sapphire earrings slightly deeper in color, dressed in extremely luxurious attire. They were clearly from the Demon Clan, and their status seemed quite high.
The other group had five members, younger in age, with red-edged gems floating around them. They all wore black clothing, simply tied with a belt at their waists, looking very plain.
“Don’t think that just because you’re from Azure Dragon Academy, Dark Saint won’t dare to touch you!” said one of the elegantly dressed men at the front.
“Don’t use Siyimo’s name to act recklessly here. Let me tell you, even she wouldn’t dare to touch us from Azure Dragon Academy. You should stop being so arrogant!” came the unyielding reply from Azure Dragon Academy.
Ah, now I understand why this felt so familiar; during the Inter-Academy Competition, it was Azure Dragon Academy that stood out. Their school uniform is simply black.
“So it’s them,” Xiaopu whispered.
“What’s going on? Do you know what this is about?” I asked.
“It’s Azure Dragon Academy. Don’t you remember?” Xiaopu replied.
“Hmm, I have some recollection.”
"Almost all the academies have unified under Siyimo, except for the Azure Dragon Academy which has not been subdued," Xiaopu said with some respect.
"Why is that?"
"I heard that someone is backing them, and you’ve seen their principal. He has a typical stubborn personality and a self-righteous demeanor. How could he possibly agree to be subdued? The Azure Dragon Academy has been the faith of their family for generations. Well, it has indeed provided a way out for many exceptionally talented commoners."
"Oh? So they are quite tough after all," I remarked.
...
"Heh heh, kid, do you really think your broken academy can last long? Let me tell you, if it weren't for the dragon clan backing you, all of you poor souls would have rolled away by now! What is this Azure Dragon Academy?! It has no place to stand!"
"You! You are going too far!"
"Xiao Da, have you forgotten what the principal instructed?"
Hearing this, I was taken aback, and Xiaopu also looked over curiously, seeming somewhat familiar...
The four disciples of the Azure Dragon Academy immediately stepped aside, and the fifth person who had been at the back of the line walked forward with steady steps, exuding a slightly understated yet commanding presence.
This young man had actually approached Supreme Lord status and reached High-ranking Dark Saint! Wow, what incredible talent!
"Senior," the four of them bowed and addressed him.
He also appeared to be a young man, comparable to Xiaopu, but he seemed somewhat more mature for his age.
"Looks so familiar..." Xiaopu murmured.
"That's right, I'm getting more familiar with it too."
"Ah, it's him!" Xiaopu suddenly exclaimed, raising her voice significantly.
I quickly covered Xiaopu's mouth and looked at the reactions of those people.
Seeing that they didn't react much, I slowly released my hand. Xiaopu widened her eyes excitedly and said, "It's him, Xi Meng! Don't you remember?"
I looked at the boy again but couldn't recall his name.
"Oh my gosh, you're still his savior!" Xiaopu said.
Savior...
"Ah, it's him!" I suddenly remembered.
That boy who was injured by Kurosawa Mei and fainted in the Duel Arena... that's right, it's him! He seems to have matured quite a bit, unlike Xiaopu, who hasn't changed much at all.
No wonder I didn't recognize him!
"Xi Meng," Xiaopu said, "what do you think? Should we go help him?" I shook my head and smiled, "He might not need our interference; just wait and see."
