"Uncle, are we leaving already? Aren't we going to teach that transvestite a lesson?" Xiao Tao waved her little fists, still harboring resentment towards Murong Xiaoxiao.

Mo Chen shook his head and smiled wryly, "Forget it, it's better to avoid trouble. Let's find your father as soon as possible!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you for now!" Xiao Tao said, pouting.

Mo Chen shook his head with a wry smile, then looked up and suddenly saw a figure in the grass. He immediately gestured to Xiao Tao, and the two quietly walked towards the figure.

"Ugh..." Pang Zi squatted in the grass, his stomach churning. "Ah, that feels good. I should have known better than to eat so much before we left. It really made things worse!"

As Pang Zi pulled up his pants and looked up, he was startled to see two people, one big and one small, pinching their noses and looking at him with disgust. He pointed at them angrily and snapped:

"You two scoundrels, you dare to keep peeping at me when I go to the toilet!"

Before Mo Chen could speak, Xiao Tao pinched her nose with a look of disgust, "We're looking openly and honestly! Who told you not to go to the toilet! And most importantly, it smells so bad!"

Pang Zi's lips twitched involuntarily. Being mocked was bad enough, but to be looked down upon by a little girl was simply unbearable!

"Little sister, let me educate you. Poop smells bad, how could it smell good? There are no toilets on this road. Where else can I, Fatty, relieve myself if I don't do it here?" Pang Zi grinned lewdly.

Xiao Tao rolled her eyes. "I'm not going to poop! I'll find a place where nobody can find me when I go to the toilet!"

Pang Zi was speechless, realizing that he couldn't possibly out-talk this little girl.

Mo Chen couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright, stop fooling around. This gentleman just... excuse us! We actually wanted to ask you for directions!"

Pang Zi was taken aback, then looked at the two of them and said, "I'm terrible with directions too, sorry I can't help you!"

Xiao Tao, hands on her hips and looking displeased, said, "Why are you being so helpful? It's just asking for directions, not robbing you!"

"Say what you will, I have no sense of direction!" Pang Zi shrugged.

Seeing that Pang Zi was about to ignore the two of them, Mo Chen smiled slightly, flipped his hand and took out a gold leaf and handed it over, saying, "This gentleman was very rude just now, please accept this."

Pang Zi glanced at the gold leaf in his hand and curled his lip. "For the sake of money, you can ask one question!"

Mo Chen glanced at Pang Zi with some surprise. Just now, Pang Zi's gaze had clearly been disdainful, and Mo Chen couldn't help but admire him: This Pang Zi doesn't seem to be someone who can be bought with money; he must be a big shot.

Little did they know that a certain fox had already bribed this "big shot" with a bag of gold leaves!

"My friend, I would like to ask if there is a fox demon among the demons that escaped from the Central City?" Mo Chen squinted at Pang Zi.

Pang Zi stared wide-eyed, a broad smile on his face. "Brother, I only agreed to let you ask for directions, not information!"

"Let me put it another way. Do you know where he is?" Mo Chen asked Pang Zi with a smile.

"How would I know where the monster is? I don't even know him!" Pang Zi said nervously.

Mo Chen narrowed his eyes. He could clearly sense Mo Li's aura on Pang Zi, which meant they had been together for a long time. How could they not recognize each other?

Xiao Tao frowned, about to say something, when Mo Chen hurriedly spoke up, "I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous. My name is Mo Chen, this is my niece Xiao Tao, we are looking for her father..."

Pang Zi interrupted him, "Whoever you are, it has nothing to do with me! I don't know anyone you're looking for, so you two better not follow me! Otherwise, I'll get angry!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Watching Pang Zi's departing figure, Mo Chen sighed, "Looks like they don't know each other..."

Xiao Tao pouted, "Uncle Mo Chen is such an idiot! He's obviously a fraud!"

Xiao Tao revealed the secret in a single sentence.

Mo Chen squinted at Pang Zi's departing figure. "Don't worry, he can't escape! The wind has already memorized his scent..."

Pang Zi looked back and, seeing that the two of them hadn't followed, breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't know if what they're saying is true or false, but they should just deny it to the death!"

The golden leaf glittered as he opened his palm, and Pang Zi chuckled, "I can even earn some extra money!"

But upon closer inspection of the gold leaf, Pang Zi sensed something was amiss and hurriedly took out the gold leaf Gu Liyan had given him to compare it. "Holy crap?! Exactly the same?!"

Pang Zi thought of Mo Chen's words just now, "Mo Li? Mo Chen? Could it be that he really is..."

"Oh my god! I've made a mess of things!" Pang Zi hurriedly ran back to look for Mo Chen and Xiao Tao.

—On the other side

When Hua Xiaoxiao returned from gathering herbs on the mountain, she found Gu Liyan still unconscious and became somewhat anxious. "Master, will Xiao Li really be alright?"

"Hmph, you don't believe your master?" The Scorpion glared and chuckled.

Hua Xiaoxiao's face immediately changed in fright, and she hurriedly waved her hands, saying, "I wouldn't dare! It's just that he's so badly injured, I'm really worried..."

"His injuries were too severe and he lost too much blood. Moreover, the three arrows in his chest haven't been removed yet. How could he possibly wake up so quickly?" Scorpion said with a sneer.

"Then, what should we do?" Hua Xiaoxiao asked nervously.

“Recover slowly, or…” Scorpion glanced at Hua Xiaoxiao but didn’t finish his sentence.

"Master, no matter what it takes, please save him!" Hua Xiaoxiao said resolutely.

"..." The Scorpion squinted at Hua Xiaoxiao but said nothing.

In the realm of divine consciousness, besides a vast ocean and a black and white lotus growing vigorously, Gu Liyan sat on the water's surface, quietly meditating and resting.
