Bai Qianqian's body froze. She wanted to hear Brother Xiong's answer.

When Brother Bear realized what was happening, he immediately retorted in a panic, "No, no, I want something soft and cute."

He regretted it the moment he said this. It was fine that he drank and opened up to Ming Luo, but now he couldn't help but complain in front of her that she wasn't delicate and cute enough. What if Bai Qianqian got angry and came to beat him up?

Bai Qianqian's eyes just lit up, but then suddenly dimmed again. She pretended not to hear and continued running ahead.

The atmosphere was very awkward for a moment. The chatterbox Brother Bear was so anxious that his hairy ears popped out. His head was in a mess and he was frantically thinking about how to save the situation.

Although Brother Bear had wheat-colored skin, Mingluo still noticed that his cheeks had turned slightly red. This silly bear didn't seem to dislike Bai Qianqian that much...

"You're just trying to be stubborn. Your face is as red as a monkey's butt." Ming Luo directly exposed the stubborn brother Xiong. He obviously had a good impression of Bai Qianqian, but because of his preconceived notion, he kept her at a distance and even avoided the engagement. This stupid bear really didn't understand romance and wasn't afraid of ending up in the crematorium when he chased his wife in the future.

Since Brother Xiong is interested in Bai Qianqian, it seems she has to give him some help.

…

Ever since Mingluo met up with the other bosses, most of the journeys they had taken together had been safe and sound. This feeling always made her uneasy, as if they were not looking for a way to survive, but this ancient city was guiding them onto a certain path.

However, Mingluo has always been cautious. Since she arrived in the Far North, she has never stopped planting plant seeds along the way. Occasionally, she would secretly place a poisonous mushroom at a key intersection. But it was precisely because of this that Mingluo felt more and more that something was wrong. It seemed that there were no other living creatures here except the five of them. Even the strange white birds had disappeared without a trace.

Even Hui Jianzhi, who had been following them all the way, disappeared.

After much thought, Mingluo still felt uneasy, so she asked Ye Zhihan, "Isn't this place too safe? We encountered many difficulties and obstacles before, but now there's not even a living thing..."

"If anything unexpected happens, remember to hide in the Shadow Pool immediately." Ye Zhihan remained silent throughout the journey. He had naturally sensed this, but safety didn't seem to be a bad thing for them, at least not in the ancient city ruins. Furthermore, in the Pure White Land, the arrogant shadow man had made his position clear to him. The ancient city ruins were the place he had the greatest affinity with, his paradise. Therefore, Ye Zhihan had a feeling that something was waiting for him in the end, and that this thing might pose a threat to others.

After walking for two hours, they finally arrived at an unfamiliar environment.

The environment here is extremely simple. Behind them is the maze-like ice wall of the ancient city, and in front of them is the endless snowfield and glacier. At first glance, it is very similar to the scene on land, but there is never any overwhelming light here, only a dim chaos.

Mingluo's sunlight grass was useless here. The visibility was less than two meters, and the light was absorbed by the endless chaos.

Bai Qianqian and Xiong Zhuangpeng looked around vigilantly. Even Fatty, who was nestled in Xiong Zhuangpeng's arms, showed his head with a cautious look on his face.

Ming Luo and Ye Zhihan were not afraid of the darkness. They looked at each other and had an idea in their minds. This chaos might be related to the Shadow Demon's ability.

"Brother Xiong, Bai Qianqian, if we go any further we might encounter unexpected dangers. Why don't you two try to find another way?" Ming Luo was worried that the Shadow Demon's ability might pose a danger to the two unrelated monsters, so he suggested that they stop here.

Ye Zhihan stood tall and straight like a pine or cypress. He nodded silently and added, "You all should know that I am a shadow demon. There is nothing to hide. I can feel the call from the chaos. This power is too strong. I am afraid that you will encounter danger on this trip."

Brother Xiong already knew that Ye Zhihan was the Shadow Demon, and Bai Qianqian had also noticed it. As the eldest daughter of the Tiger Clan and a female general, she was naturally noble and naturally knew some information that ordinary people didn't know. She thought to herself, no wonder Ye Zhihan was able to defeat her, it turned out that he was the new cross-border resident, the legendary second generation of Shadow Demon.

She looked up at the slender Ming Luo again, and was really worried about Ming Luo following Ye Zhihan into danger.

"It's okay. Miss Mingluo has done me a favor. I will definitely protect her. There is no reason for me to escape in the middle of a battle." Bai Qianqian flicked her ponytail, full of righteousness. Mingluo's appearance was reflected in her firm eyes, giving people a strong sense of security. She looked like a reliable person at first glance.

Oh no, once a woman becomes handsome, she is really cool. Ming Luo was overjoyed and thought to himself that this girl is really likable. How could Brother Xiong be so blind as to dislike her?

"Qianqian, you are so nice!" Mingluo couldn't help but hug Bai Qianqian.

Bai Qianqian has been on the battlefield since she was young and has acquired great skills. She is surrounded by rough men and has no idea how girls get along with each other. So Ming Luo's hug made her stunned. Bai Qianqian, who had never had intimate physical contact with others, immediately blushed like a ripe apple, and a pair of white tiger ears emerged from her hair.

When Mingluo saw the ears, she immediately wanted to pounce on them and rub them, but the situation was pressing, so she forcibly suppressed the urge to rub the fur. She let go of Bai Qianqian's hand and said bluntly, "Don't call me benefactor. I want to be your friend."

Bai Qianqian blushed and nodded silently. The scent of Mingluo's plum blossoms still lingered on her body. She was a little distracted. This girl was different from everyone she knew.
