Mo Wen sat cross-legged on a rock, keeping a vigilant watch over his surroundings. He refrained from releasing his senses, as Zi Lan had specifically instructed him not to. Even without her warning, he would have chosen not to do so; if he let his senses out, others could trace him through them. Besides, the Demon Beasts and Chimeras didn’t require such probing—they exuded an overwhelming presence. Behind him, in the cave, there was a hot spring where Ni Zi had been soaking for nearly an hour.
In the blink of an eye, the two had been traveling through this forest for three months. During this time, Mo Wen felt happy to have Zi Lan, a stunning Ni Zi, by his side. What brought him the most joy was her playful and adorable nature, which filled their journey with laughter. Mo Wen knew that Zi Lan would eventually have to leave. After spending time together and hearing her talk about her family, he recalled Old Lu’s tales of the various human factions and their prominent families. One family stood out—the one that lent its name to the entire continent: the Zi from the Zi Yun Continent. Every so often, these powerful families would take their younger members out for training, typically determined by the Realm of the juniors. It puzzled Mo Wen that the Zi family would travel so far from the Zi Yun Continent for training. Of course, Old Lu had also mentioned that these training sessions weren’t confined to one location; they involved traversing various pre-planned perilous sites. Some young members might be away for decades or even centuries, and some factions would even have their juniors change their names and surnames to join certain sects for training. This training was not just about improving their Realm and combat power but also about broadening their horizons. With this in mind, Mo Wen could understand the actions of the Zi family.
During this time, thanks to Zi Lan’s presence, they had tried to find lava caves to spend the night in. Mo Wen discovered that such places were relatively easy to find in the Cloud Mist Forest, although most of them were inhabited by Demon Beasts. However, many caves were empty as well; these tended to be located on cliffs or had small internal spaces. Yet such places posed no issue for them; as long as they remained cautious of the Demon Beasts, they were fine. Throughout their journey, Mo Wen continuously summarized similar experiences to ensure he could live better and more comfortably. Indeed, reflecting on lessons learned proved essential.
The cave behind them wasn’t where they intended to spend the night; they had merely stumbled upon it and discovered a hot spring inside. Zi Lan had insisted on taking a bath after confirming there were no dangers nearby.
“Dog Brother, what are you thinking about?” A melodious voice interrupted his thoughts. He turned to see Zi Lan standing at the cave entrance beside him, tilting her head curiously.
“Nothing much. I was just observing our surroundings and estimating that in about six months we should be able to exit this Cloud Mist Forest,” he replied.
“Dog Brother, I…” Mo Wen noticed something unusual about Zi Lan; turning his head, he saw her looking down as if she had something important to say.
“I know—Lan'er has to leave,” Mo Wen sighed, voicing what he knew she wanted to say.
“So you knew all along…” Zi Lan lowered her head, unsure how to tell her Dog Brother about her departure but surprised that he had anticipated it.
“Considering the time, it’s about right; your elders should be arriving soon.”
