The road was neither long nor short, and it was quiet all around, with only the sound of two people's footsteps audible.

I've been walking for quite a while, but I still can't see the end in front of me.

"Are you sure we haven't gone the wrong way?" Mu Nanxun gradually became worried about Yi Yi outside.

“Of course I’m not in the wrong place. My grandma told me this herself. I’ve heard her talk about the blood-breeding spiders here since I was little. But she never lets me in, nor does she allow any other spirit foxes to come in. But let’s make this clear first, when we get there, you… you go up by yourself. I’m not going.”

Mu Nanxun didn't answer, nor did he bother to.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Shanshan asked him, "Hey, why...why do you like that brat Yi Yi?"

brat...

Mu Nanxun paused, his sharp eagle eyes fixed on Jiang Shanshan.

He didn't want other people to call his woman "brat" so rudely.

Jiang Shanshan felt uneasy under his gaze and changed her words, "What I mean is, why do you like Yi Yi? She has no power or influence in the Spirit Fox Clan, and doesn't even have any relatives. Unlike me, I possess the noblest and purest bloodline in the entire Spirit Fox Clan, and I'm the future leader of the Spirit Fox Clan. The entire Spirit Fox Clan is under my control, and whoever is with me will have the same power as me. Won't you reconsider?"

"Not considering it." Mu Nanxun's gaze lightly shifted from her and continued walking forward.

Jiang Shanshan was puzzled by such a decisive statement.

"What's so good about Yi Yi? Is it better than her status as the future leader of the Spirit Fox Clan? You're destined to suffer if you stay with her. If you stay in this world, Grandma Arno won't approve of you being together, and both Yi Yi and you will be punished."

"Yi Yi and I will not stay here."

Mu Nanxun had previously heard Yi Yi speak highly of her homeland, the jungle, and he had even planned that if Yi Yi couldn't adapt to life in the human world, he would live with her in the jungle. But now that he had come to the jungle himself and witnessed firsthand how these spirit foxes treated Yi Yi, he realized that the jungle was not as wonderful as Yi Yi had described.

Even their so-called leader was nothing more than a foolish and cruel man.

He would not let Yi Yi stay here, nor would he allow anyone to hurt her.

Jiang Shanshan was taken aback, then retorted, "Fine, even if you manage to escape the jungle and return to the human world, do you think humans would allow an anomaly like Yi Yi to exist? My grandmother said that humans and all races that threaten their dominance are natural enemies. Mermaids were hunted and researched by humans because they accidentally wandered into the human world and even dared to fall in love with a human, so they were almost extinct. Yi Yi won't be any different..."

"No." Mu Nanxun stopped in his tracks. In the darkness, his tall and imposing figure exuded a natural kingly aura.

Such a man exudes charm in every move, making him irresistible.

Jiang Shanshan had to admit that this man was indeed a rare beauty. It was just a pity that that brat Yi Yi beat her to it, and she couldn't accept it no matter how she thought about it.

"I won't let Yi Yi repeat the mistakes of the mermaid." Mu Nanxun said, as if speaking to Jiang Shanshan, but also as if talking to himself.

"We're here." Mu Nanxun stopped again. What appeared in front of the two of them was a spacious but somewhat cold room.
