A graceful figure emerged from the forest.
Tuntun, no longer looking fierce and mighty, ran over to her side like a husky, rolling and playing around.
Mu Chen and Su Youwei looked over.
It was a young girl in green, her figure tall and slender.
Her bright eyes paid no attention to Tuntun but instead looked at Mu Chen and Su Youwei.
The girl had snow-white skin, her black hair loosely tied, wearing simple green clothes that outlined her graceful curves.
Her delicate features were flawless.
Her bright eyes seemed to hold something mysterious, ethereal, and profound.
Her bangs, lifted by the wind, revealed a pale forehead with an ancient mark of indescribable mystery.
Mu Chen’s breath paused for a moment at the sight, and even Su Youwei was amazed.
She was truly a beautiful girl, one who made others feel inferior.
But being a girl herself, Su Youwei wasn’t captivated.
She turned to look at Mu Chen’s gaze and felt a twinge of jealousy.
She admitted that this girl in green was beautiful, but did he have to keep staring at her?
The more she thought about it, the more jealous she became.
Her delicate little hand quietly found its way to Mu Chen’s waist.
Hiss!
Though she hadn’t pinched yet, Mu Chen sucked in a sharp breath, feeling a chill run down his spine.
He quickly averted his gaze.
Yao Yao’s beauty was truly beyond words, flawless from every angle.
But she was too cold, as if she lacked human warmth.
A single glance was unforgettable.
That was Mu Chen’s impression.
Mu Chen had thought he wouldn’t be able to follow Zhou Yuan to the Great Zhou ancestral land and reach this mysterious place.
But by accident, the Space Ancestral Symbol had brought him here.
Now he had to consider how to handle things if he met Cang Yuan.
He and Su Youwei weren’t from the Zhou family.
Would Cang Yuan silence them?
Because of his butterfly effect, he didn’t know how much the future would be affected.
“My name is Su Youwei.
What’s your name, miss?
Where is this place?” Su Youwei, unaware of Mu Chen’s thoughts, looked at the girl in green and smiled politely.
“My name is Mu Chen.” Mu Chen said.
Hearing the question, the girl in green thought for a moment.
In the end, she didn’t answer.
Having lived here so long, she apparently never knew what this place was called.
“Yao Yao.” The girl in green replied in a light tone.
“Rawr?” Tuntun called out, looking at them as if to say: Now that you all know each other, aren’t you going to introduce me, boss?
“Tuntun.” Yao Yao glanced at Tuntun, who immediately behaved like a mouse seeing a cat.
The one called Mu Chen interested her a bit.
He could also use devouring power.
When he withdrew the black hole, Yao Yao clearly saw a peculiar rune enter Mu Chen’s body.
That should be the source of his devouring power.
“Why are you here?” Yao Yao asked.
‘Grandpa Hei hadn’t said anyone would come today.’ After all these years, this was the first time Yao Yao had seen outsiders.
“It was an accident.
Spatial disorder brought us here.” Mu Chen said helplessly.
He hadn’t refined the Space Ancestral Symbol, so he didn’t dare to use it to take Su Youwei away.
The teleportation destination would be uncertain.
If they ended up in a dangerous place, both of them would be done for.
“Follow me.
Grandpa Hei should be able to send you out.” Yao Yao turned, tilted her head slightly, and gestured for them to follow.
Tuntun tried to jump into Yao Yao’s arms, but she was disgusted by the dust all over him and dodged sideways.
Tuntun whimpered pitifully as he ate a mouthful of dirt.
“Pfft!” Mu Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
Tuntun glared at him fiercely, then jumped onto his head, rubbing the dust into his hair.
He refused to leave, lounging on Mu Chen’s head like it was his throne.
Now Mu Chen couldn’t laugh anymore.
He gritted his teeth in annoyance.
This little brat was too much.
Did he even know him?
Mu Chen couldn’t laugh, but Tuntun let out a mocking sound.
The corners of Yao Yao’s mouth lifted slightly.
She turned her head, a thoughtful expression on her face.
It must be Mu Chen’s devouring power.
Though they weren’t from the same source, it made Tuntun feel close to him.
Tuntun’s personality wouldn’t let him get close to just anyone.
“Follow me.” Yao Yao walked into the shade of the trees, her light voice reaching the two and the beast.
Mu Chen didn’t forcefully pull Tuntun off.
If Tuntun’s claws scratched his handsome face and left a scar, he’d be the one losing out.
As long as Tuntun didn’t pee on his head, it was fine.
“Hahaha, Mu Chen brat, so you have your days too!” The little marten’s unrestrained laughter echoed out.
Mu Chen often teased him about blowing himself up, so seeing Mu Chen get humiliated made him happy.
“Keep talking, and I’ll kick you out and feed you to Tuntun.” Mu Chen said calmly.
The little marten paused.
Silence was golden.
If Tuntun devoured him, he really would be digested.
Mu Chen was such a black-hearted guy.
He might actually do it.
With the little marten silent, Mu Chen felt much more at peace.
The two followed behind Yao Yao.
In the ancient forest, beast roars could be heard from time to time.
But after Tuntun let out a roar, the forest fell silent.
Mu Chen sighed.
‘As expected of the bloodline pressure of the Ancestral Taotie.
Most Genesis Beasts would be afraid of that pressure.’ “Yao Yao, how long have you lived here?” Su Youwei started a conversation to break the awkward atmosphere.
She could tell that Yao Yao’s personality was the kind that was detached from the world, indifferent like no other.
If she didn’t speak first, Yao Yao wouldn’t take the initiative to talk.
So she had to be the one to start.
“I’ve been here as long as I can remember.” Perhaps because Su Youwei was a girl, Yao Yao didn’t stay silent.
She responded calmly, conversing with Su Youwei.
For the rest of the journey, Su Youwei would ask a question, and Yao Yao would answer.
Mu Chen couldn’t get a word in.
Mu Chen took out some dried meat and fed it to Tuntun.
It was the rations he had prepared before leaving Great Zhou City.
Tuntun had never eaten anything like this before.
He usually just devoured things whole to get energy.
So he ate it with great relish.
His opinion of Mu Chen also rose considerably.
Yao Yao glanced sideways.
‘He has gotten along with Tuntun so quickly.
He has some skills.
Tuntun did love to eat, so Mu Chen took the right approach.’ Su Youwei wanted to pet Tuntun but was afraid of getting bitten.
Judging from his confrontation with Mu Chen, he seemed very fierce.
After walking through the forest for half an hour, Yao Yao stopped.
They had reached their destination.
