Song Yan Ning gave a faint smile, "Thank you for the reminder, we are fully aware. We will see each other again!" She really did not want to spend more time with them, especially Murong Xi's pretentious manner, which she genuinely disliked.
Wu Qingfeng, seeing that Song Yan Ning was insistent, did not try to persuade her any further. He stopped walking and looked at the receding figures of Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, shaking his head and sighing. In his view, the likelihood of seeing them again was not great.
The Heavenly Barrier Forest was no ordinary place; it was full of Advanced Demon Beasts, and there were even several Level 9 Demon Beasts. If it wasn't for the beast tide, these Level 9 Demon Beasts would not come out, and Fushan Town would have ceased to exist long ago.
"It's definitely dangerous for them to go , shouldn't we chase after them and try to persuade them again?" Murong Xi feigned concern. Whether Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen lived or died had nothing to do with her; what she wanted was to increase Wu Qingfeng's fondness for her. To capture a man's heart, one must start from the daily interactions and gradually infiltrate, making him devoted completely.
"No need, if they were willing to listen, they wouldn't have left, and not everyone accepts others' kindness. Xixi, kindness is meant for those with a grateful heart, understand?" Wu Qingfeng pulled Murong Xi into his arms, looking at her with an affectionate face. He was indeed fortunate to have met a kind and beautiful woman like Xixi.
Murong Xi nodded, "But they are Ling'er's friends. If Ling'er finds out, she will definitely be sad."
"You always think about others, don't you ever feel aggrieved? Come on, let's not worry about this anymore. Let's go back to the guest room and rest." Wu Qingfeng lowered his head, planting a kiss on Murong Xi's forehead, and led her towards the inn.
Murong Xi followed by Wu Qingfeng's side, the corners of her mouth curling up in a slight, triumphant smile.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen had left Fushan Town,, facing an endless forest ahead. The dense, towering trees blocked the sunlight, casting shadows and moisture throughout the forest.
The ground was covered with rotting leaves and branches, making continuous creaking sounds as they walked.
"Roar!" With the roar of a Demon Beast, a Level 3 Fire Shadow Lion sprang from the woods and pounced towards Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.
Qin Yushen raised his hand and swung it; the Fire Shadow Lion was sent flying without any resistance.
The Fire Shadow Lion landed on the ground, glanced fearfully at Qin Yushen, and turned to flee. Although it was a Demon Beast, it was not foolish. Qin Yushen had sent it flying with a single blow, clearly indicating it was no match for him.
Song Yan Ning's figure flashed, blocking the path of the Fire Shadow Lion, "Take us to the territory of the Level 9 Demon Beast." There were many natural Concealing Arrays in the forest, and although she could break each one of them, she did not want to waste the time.
The Fire Shadow Lion shook its head like a rattle drum. Unless it wished to die, it would not lead two humans to the territories of their superiors.
"Lead the way or die now," Song Yan Ning released a powerful aura of intimidation.
Under the pressure, the Fire Shadow Lion trembled in its limbs and fell prostrate to the ground. It intensely regretted its impulsiveness at that moment; if it had not leaped out, it wouldn't be in such a predicament now.
"Will you lead the way?" Song Yan Ning's voice grew colder, her intimidating presence tinged with a breath of death.
The Fire Shadow Lion nearly cried; it nodded its head. Did it have a choice?
Song Yan Ning retracted her aura of intimidation, satisfied.
Once freed, the Fire Shadow Lion hurriedly led the way. Its only hope now was that another Demon Beast would block Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen on the journey, or that some other hapless beast would take over this cursed task.
