Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.
The Skyhawk landed on the broad shoulder. Even though it was a huge Skyhawk, it was as if it had landed on the shoulder of a giant, and the giant itself was like an unshakable city wall.
"Caw caw—" The sound of the Sky Eagle was filled with both fear and excitement.
Hearing the intelligence transmitted by the eagle above his shoulder, Cheng Wu's seemingly honest but actually rigid square face revealed a sinister smile. "A high-level nine-tailed fox? How interesting!"
"Caw caw caw—" The Sky Eagle cried out in panic, its dark eyes filled with terror, making people feel the same fear and unable to help but feel afraid.
"Hmph, scared to death just by seeing the other side! What a useless beast!" Cheng Wu sneered. "Go back and tell the Cheng family the news. I'm going into the mountains to meet that fox demon!"
"Caw—" The Sky Eagle turned and left without saying a word. If it could, it would certainly not be an enemy of the demon race, let alone a ninth-order nine-tailed fox bloodline demon race.

Gu Liyan stopped in his tracks as he gazed at the direction of the mountain peaks, his expression turning solemn.
Mo Chen, who was following behind with a blade of grass in his mouth, saw Gu Liyan stop and immediately sat down on the ground, crossed his arms, and said impatiently:
"You've stopped and started more than ten times already! What do you want? Are you even going to find the way? Are you directionally challenged? Aren't foxes supposed to be very sharp? How come you're so useless?"
Hearing Mo Chen's words, Gu Liyan frowned, her temper flaring. "I don't even have a map of this world, how could I possibly know the way? I'm just relying on my sense of smell and intuition to find the same aura as humans! If you can't help me, then shut up!"
Mo Chen pouted. "You're getting angry just because I said a few words to you?" Looking up at the gloomy sky, Mo Chen became uneasy. "Speaking of which, we've been walking for three whole days and we still haven't gotten out of this mountain. This mountain is quite big—"
Gu Liyan nodded as he looked at the dense trees around him. Before he could say anything, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction to his side, his pupils shrinking slightly. "They're here!"
"Huh? What's here?" Mo Chen asked, looking puzzled.
"A very powerful aura is approaching us!" Gu Liyan said with a frown and a solemn expression.
Mo Chen followed Gu Liyan's gaze and sensed the approaching force of a powerful gust of wind. He exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! So fast! How can the humans of this world be so strong?"
Gu Liyan concealed his ears and tail, and even deliberately hid the markings on his face to avoid attracting attention, since he had previously been able to identify a demon by its markings.
It's best to be cautious during this critical period.
Gu Liyan said with a solemn expression, "Mo Chen, if the opponent is too strong, just run away if things get complicated!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? We signed a life-or-death contract, we share the same fate, we share the same fate! I will not abandon you!" Mo Chen said with a serious expression.
Gu Liyan suddenly smiled. "I almost forgot about that! Your fate is intertwined with mine! Partner!"
Upon hearing the word "partner," the two exchanged a smile, now gazing together at the distant forest where waves were rising.
Within a few breaths, a ten-foot-tall man, running on the ground, appeared before them.
"What? I thought they were fox demons, but they're just two insignificant mortals!" Cheng Wu's tall figure appeared before the two, and he looked at Gu Liyan and Mo Chen, who were much shorter than him, and spoke with disdain.
Gu Liyan and Mo Chen exchanged a glance, both seeing astonishment in each other's eyes.
Unexpectedly, Gu Liyan's identity was exposed. If it weren't for Mo Chen, a human, accompanying her, Gu Liyan herself would probably have been suspected.
Gu Liyan gestured to Mo Chen not to act rashly, lest he reveal Dawn's presence.
Mo Chen blinked instead, indicating that it was alright, and that the other party must be all brawn and no brains!
"What are you two doing exchanging glances?" Cheng Wu looked the two up and down and found that they were both very handsome, especially the young man in white who was exceptionally beautiful.
Thinking of his naturally square face, which no one liked, and how he could only obtain some cultivation resources from his family through intelligence gathered on the battlefield, he felt a sense of unfairness stemming from his birth. This made him resentful of the two people's appearances, and his face immediately darkened with displeasure.
"Judging by your outstanding appearances, you must be male virgins from Qingge Hall, abandoned here by your master, waiting to be trained?" Chengwu mocked with a laugh.
There was no obvious spiritual energy fluctuation on them, so they must be young boys who rely on their looks to survive!
Gu Liyan knew he was mocking the two of them, but she couldn't understand the vulgar language. However, Mo Chen, a seasoned veteran, naturally understood the implication and immediately said with a quick glance:
"Senior, my brother and I have been abandoned in the center of the battlefield and are unable to return. Please help us and take us out of this valley."
As he spoke, Mo Chen deliberately put on a tired look, his handsome face truly making anyone who saw him feel sorry for him.
Cheng Wu looked down at Mo Chen and couldn't help but feel excited at Mo Chen's obsequious attitude, but even so, he would not help them!
"Hehe, I, Chengwu, have no interest in men, let alone lowly virgins like you. I think if you two are lucky, you might run into some young lady who will come to your aid! If you're properly trained, you might even become the pigs of a family!"
Mo Chen's expression changed, and he was immediately enraged. No matter which world it was, pigs were always weak and lowly creatures!
Although Mo Chen clenched his fists, seething with rage, he held back. If it were just him, he could fight to the death, or run if he couldn't win. But Gu Liyan... he absolutely couldn't be harmed!
