Luo Chen pouted and slowly moved closer to Mu Yingying's face.

Mu Yingying, who was pretending to be unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes, stared in shock, and raised her hands to push hard.

Ouch!

Luo Chen was pushed to the ground by Mu Yingying, who simultaneously sat on his stomach.

"Luo Chen! How dare you ambush me!"

Mu Yingying glared angrily, hands on her hips, cheeks puffed out in anger.

"Who told you to pretend to be asleep?"

Luo Chen rolled his eyes, pointed at Mu Yingying's butt, and continued, "Also, before you get angry, figure out where you are."

Mu Yingying looked in the direction he was pointing, and her blood rushed to her head, her face turning crimson.

"ah!"

She cried out in surprise, straightened her back, stood up with her back to Luo Chen, covered her face with her hands, and dared not look him in the eye.

"Your Majesty, are you naive and have never seen the world before?"

Luo Chen asked curiously.

"What are you talking about? Who hasn't seen the world? And were you following me? Why are you in the Demon Abyss? This isn't a place you can just pass by."

Mu Yingying turned around with a haughty expression and said defiantly.

"Following you? How dare you ask such a question? I'm an old acquaintance of the Demon Emperor in this Demon Abyss. He told me you were here, and I was worried you were in danger, so I came to check on you. I never expected you to think of me like this; it really breaks my heart."

Luo Chen looked disappointed, shook his head, and let out a long sigh.

"Oh? I'm sorry, Luo Chen. I was just being a bit stubborn. Don't take it to heart. Thank you for saving me."

Mu Yingying chuckled, looking at him with a hint of apology in her eyes.

"Alright, seeing that your attitude in admitting your mistake is quite sincere, I forgive you."

Luo Chen raised his chin, his hair fluttering slightly, and tried to laugh smugly but held it back.

Haha, long time no see! She's still so easily teased. I have to hold back; I can't let her find out.

"..."

Upon hearing this thought, Mu Yingying was speechless for a moment, inwardly cursing: 60 seconds...

"By the way, Mu Yingying, what are you doing in this Demon Abyss? With your personality, you should know that this place is full of demons and is very dangerous."

Luo Chen changed the subject and asked.

"I know it's dangerous, but in order to break through, I have no choice but to take the risk and come here to find the Purple Thunder Heavenly Pool. Only there is it possible for the Purple Thunder Heavenly Fire to advance, so that my cultivation can also advance further."

Mu Yingying answered with a firm look in her eyes.

"I see. So, did you find it?"

Luo Chen continued to ask.

"Not yet. I had just come in when I encountered that little boy. Although our cultivation levels were similar, he seemed to have a natural advantage here. I was no match for him at all. In the end, I ran here and was blocked by an array, and then he knocked me unconscious."

Mu Yingying explained helplessly.

"In that case, I'll accompany you to continue searching for that Purple Thunder Heavenly Pool. After I've helped you resolve this matter, I'll leave."

Luo Chen said with a smile.

"Really?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Mu Yingying's eyes, and she asked again in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. Do you have a general direction? Which way do you go?"

Luo Chen answered affirmatively and pointed to the intersections on both sides, asking questions.

"Luo Chen, I came from that side, so let's keep going in, we should be able to find it."

Mu Yingying pointed in the direction behind Luo Chen and said.

"Okay, let's set off together then."

Luo Chen turned around and took a step when his right arm was suddenly gripped by something soft and tingling.

!!

He was startled and quickly turned to look. Mu Yingying's face was slightly flushed, and she was holding his right arm tightly with both hands.

Luo Chen smiled, straightened his chest, and strode confidently into the abyss. Mu Yingying followed closely beside him, feeling a strong sense of security. Every time she encountered danger, Luo Chen would appear in time to help her solve the problem. Now, as long as Luo Chen was there, she was no longer afraid of the mystery of the unknown darkness.

[Favorability +45]

The sudden increase in favorability made Luo Chen very satisfied; it was 10 points higher than a hundred years ago. She really missed him after not seeing him for so long.

"Mu Yingying, how long has it been since we last saw each other?"

Luo Chen suddenly asked.

"101 years, 5 months and 3 days".

Without the slightest hesitation, Mu Yingying answered directly.

"..."

"..."

Mu Yingying's expression changed, and like a frightened little rabbit, she buried her head between the two men's arms.

Luo Chen's lips curled up even higher.

"Mu Yingying, I really underestimated you. You have such a good memory. It would be a waste if you didn't study ancient poems."

He made a teasing remark to her.

? ? ?

Mu Yingying was filled with questions.

No, what she said was clearly meant to create a lively atmosphere, so why did it take on a different meaning when it came to Luo Chen?

Let's ease the tension, otherwise I'll feel awkward and won't know how to respond to Mu Yingying's answer!

Mu Yingying chuckled softly, but made no sound. Luo Chen's words meant he understood; he knew she had always been thinking of him, and that was enough.

Rumble.

!!

"Mu Yingying, the Purple Thunder Heavenly Pool should be just ahead!"

The two of them simultaneously looked towards the flickering purple lightning in the distance...
