"Hehe, then I won't be polite," he said, immediately whistling. Mo Wen knew that this was Erniu signaling his teammates to come over.
"Then I won't disturb you any longer, brother. I'll take my leave," Mo Wen said as he turned to leave again.
"Xiaoxia, please wait."
"What else does my brother wish to discuss?"
"Forgive my boldness, but may I ask where Xiaoxia is headed?"
"There's no harm in sharing; I'm on my way to Lianyun Kingdom."
"What a coincidence! We are from Lianyun Kingdom and have been traveling through this forest for years. We were just planning to return after hunting in the mountains. If Xiaoxia doesn't mind, please accompany us. Our village is right at the edge of this forest, and you can rest there for a bit. It would be my pleasure to show my hospitality and express my gratitude for your life-saving help." Mo Wen had been waiting for Erniu to say this, and Erniu had his own plans. The young man across from him had effortlessly slain the Demon Beast that had been chasing him, indicating that his realm was far beyond his own. Having such a skilled companion on the way back would make the journey much smoother. Besides, if someone truly intended to harm him, they wouldn't have saved him. Moreover, he had nothing of value that others would covet. Thus, both of them had their own thoughts and quickly reached an agreement.
"Since that's the case, I will trouble you then."
"Xiaoxia is indeed a straightforward person."
"Hurry up and pack your things; we need to leave here soon. Don't dawdle; it was this Xiaoxia who saved me." At that moment, other villagers from Erniu's group arrived and were unsure how to react upon seeing the situation. Noticing their confusion, Erniu quickly organized them.
The group swiftly packed up, and before long, they were ready to go. This time, two members of Erniu's team had been lost, and throughout the journey, the villagers remained engulfed in sorrow, creating a heavy atmosphere that silenced everyone.
At their current pace, they would reach the edge of the forest in about a month. Human activity in the area was noticeably increasing; even though they were not far from Yan Luo River, he had already encountered two exploration teams in the past month. However, thanks to his instincts honed through constant training in the forest, he easily avoided them. The exploration teams seemed hurried and did not conduct thorough searches.
Deep within the cave behind him was a hot spring. He decided to take a relaxing bath there just as Zi Lan had done before while also sorting through his recent gains. He checked on Xiao Hei's condition; Xiao Hei was still asleep. He wondered how long Old Qilin meant by "a period of sleep." At this point, he had changed into a new outfit; his original Beast Skin clothing had been disposed of as Old Lu had advised him against wearing something so conspicuous when meeting others. Now he looked clean and refined, with a delicate charm about him. He surveyed his attire with satisfaction.
Looking back at the cave behind him, the hot spring ignited memories within him—memories of his time with Old Lu in the forest, transforming from a child into a graceful young man today—and of that ever-present figure in his mind: the girl who embodied both tenderness and wildness.
After the Zi Family departed back then, he stayed by that tree for three days, almost entranced as he repeatedly gazed at the jade pendant in his hand while recalling moments spent with that extraordinarily beautiful girl.
