The little witch stared at the cold girl and asked, "What is your relationship with him?"

"This doesn't seem to be your business." The cold girl also stared at the little witch and replied lightly.

The two of them just stared at each other, their aura gradually rising, and even a smell of gunpowder began to appear.

After a long time, the little witch spoke.

"That's all?"

The cold girl replied, "That's all."

"But I can't protect him forever."

"I didn't say you have to protect him forever. You're already a Spirit Emperor at such a young age. Even in the Central Region, you'd be a peerless genius. Having you protect Gu Yuan's growth is actually a kind of training for you. He'll enter the Central Region sooner or later, and when he does, you won't have to protect him anymore. How about that?"

"Deal!" The little witch nodded.

"I can give you the elixir right now, but your partner needs a guardian to help him break through. I can help protect him on the condition that you don't tell him about what happened between us today."

The cold girl pointed at Gu Yuan outside the barrier and spoke softly.

"You don't seem to be that old. Could it be that you and Gu Yuan were childhood sweethearts? And then you were forced to separate because of your talents?" The little witch looked curious, and a bunch of melodramatic dramas appeared in her head.

The tips of the cold girl's ears suddenly turned crimson, and she quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Hehe, sister, it seems that you still care about Gu Yuan. But in this case, if you hand him over to me, aren't you afraid that he will fall in love with me in the future, and what if I snatch him away?" The little witch suddenly uttered soul-stirring words, which made the cold girl's heart stagnate.

She quickly circulated her spiritual energy to suppress the strange feeling in her heart. The cold girl rolled her eyes at the little witch and said, "You are really fooling around, girl. This is not how illusions are used!"

"Oh? You actually know all this?"

The cold girl shook her head and said nothing more.

"Okay, if I hadn't realized that you didn't have any ill intentions, I wouldn't have agreed to this deal. But since I've agreed, I will fulfill my promise, so you can rest assured." The little witch put away the frivolous expression on her face and said seriously.

"Thank you very much."

The cold girl nodded, then threw the two jade bottles to the little witch, "There's no time to lose. I'll go with you. I'll tell you about the precautions for taking the elixir on the way."

"Are we leaving now?" The little witch was slightly stunned.

"Um."

Seeing that it was almost dawn outside, the little witch nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"

The little witch stretched out her hand and split the space in front of her, then walked in first.

The cold girl glanced at Gu Yuan outside the barrier, then turned around and stepped into the space crack.

The two of them walked into the space channel one after the other, leaving only Gu Yuan with a puzzled look on his face still looking for the little witch.

Gu Yuan muttered to himself helplessly: "Where has this little witch gone again?"

Outside the black market, a space suddenly cracked open, and two figures walked out from it.

"Is this where the so-called black market is located?"

"Hehe, sister, we are just a small place, not as good as yours, sorry for the embarrassment."

The cold girl smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with this kind of place. Compared to the Central Region, it's much quieter."

"Okay, let's go in. I don't know if Old Man Hammer is there. If she knew this news, she would probably fly with joy."

…

"Old man, hammer old man, are you there?"

Entering the black market, the little witch walked in front and started shouting at the top of her lungs before reaching her destination.

The old man with the hammer mentioned by the little witch is special compared to others because his is not a stall, but a house.

"Have you seen the old man with the hammer?"

When they came outside the house, the little witch pulled a powerful Spirit King and asked. She and Gu Yuan had met this person before.

"Huh? Your Excellency Huan Huang, you're back?"

"Well, where's Old Man Hammer? Is he in there?"

"Your Excellency Hammer Emperor has not returned since he went out last time. May I ask if Your Excellency Illusion Emperor can help you?" asked the powerful Spirit King.

"Of course it's something extremely important."

The little witch shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'll go call him myself."

The little witch came to the front of the room, pushed the door open, and said to the cold girl, "Come in."

Walking into the room, the cold girl looked at the layout of the room with some surprise.

Various materials were scattered on the ground in a mess. A spiritual fire was still burning in a spiritual furnace not far away. The walls were stained with charred marks left by years of accumulation. It was obvious at a glance that this house was already quite old.

"Old Man Hammer likes to refine weapons, so he likes to put some messy things here. You just stand aside." The little witch said casually.

The cold girl smiled and stood aside obediently.

The little witch made room for herself, and her expression suddenly became serious.

She made an extremely strange gesture with her hands and kept muttering something obscure and difficult to understand.

Gradually, several green lines appeared in the space in front of the little witch and arranged themselves into shape.

"A summoning circle?" the cold girl murmured.

The little witch's hands kept moving, and the green lines in front of her became denser and denser, and finally a huge hammer appeared in the space.

"Old man Hammer, come back quickly, I have something important to discuss with you!" The little witch suddenly spoke to Hammer.
