Yan Feichen's face instantly turned bright red.

He immediately sprang to his feet and hurriedly explained.

"I had no intention of offending you, Master. Please forgive me."

"It's nothing." Lin Zhenzhen shook her head.

That impact probably gave her a concussion; now, even the slightest movement makes her head ache.

She hesitated before asking, "Do you remember what just happened?"

"Just now, I think I encountered a lot of monsters." Yan Feichen's eyes were somewhat confused. "Then a blood-red flashed before my eyes, and I can't remember what happened after that."

"Oh, I see... tsk." After she sat up, she realized that she hadn't just hit the back of her head, but also seemed to have strained her back.

He's really dragging along a sick body.

Lin Zhenzhen could only support herself on the ground with her hands and slowly get up.

Yan Feichen followed her hand and saw the blood dripping down.

"Master, you're injured?!"

Lin Zhenzhen quickly waved her hand: "It's okay, it's not a big problem."

Hearing her say that, Yan Feichen was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant.

"It's because of me that Master got injured, isn't it?"

Lin Zhenzhen was in pain and didn't have time to answer immediately.

Unexpectedly, when Yan Feichen looked up again, her eyes were filled with tears of helplessness.

"Why are you crying?" Lin Zhenzhen felt both sorry for him and amused. She wiped the corner of his eyes.

"It's nothing. It's just a minor injury I sustained when I encountered some monsters on the way here. It has nothing to do with you."

As Lin Zhenzhen spoke, she secretly cast a cleansing spell on herself to remove the bloodstains behind her.

She forced a smile: "You silly goose, why do you always take on everything yourself?"

"That injury was because of me." Yan Feichen's eyes were still red. "If I were stronger, Master wouldn't have entered this secret realm and wouldn't have encountered danger."

"How can you be so cute?" Lin Zhenzhen couldn't help but pinch his cheek.

"If we keep making connections like this, wouldn't it mean that everything from the creation of the world by Pangu is related to you?"

Yan Feichen felt the warm, soft fingertips brushing against his skin, leaving a slight itch.

He lowered his eyes, hiding all his panic and agitation deep within them.

Yan Feichen silently replied in his heart: "No, only Master's affairs are related to me."

"But you, why are you covered in blood?" Lin Zhenzhen walked around him. "Where are you injured?"

"My disciple is fine."

Lin Zhenzhen, with her sharp eyes, grabbed his hand as he tried to hide it behind his back.

After rolling up the sleeve, all that could be seen was a smooth, fair arm.

Yan Feichen was clearly stunned as well.

"How could this be? I clearly remember..."

In his memory, a large chunk of flesh had been torn from his right forearm by the centipede monster.

How come the wound healed in such a short time?

Lin Zhenzhen knew in her heart that this must be the effect of the Heavenly Demon Bloodline once again.

She vaguely glossed over the matter: "It's possible that you encountered the venom of some monster, and its venom happened to have hallucinogenic effects, which caused you to have some hallucinations."

"It's good that you're not hurt. It's dangerous here, let's get out first."

"good."

In order to best reflect the true level of the selected disciples and ensure the fairness of the selection process, the use of auxiliary magical artifacts, apart from the most basic weapons, is restricted in the secret realm.

Yan Feichen's sword had broken in two, so he could no longer fly on it. The flying boat was also unusable here, so he could only ride the Chasing Moon with Lin Zhenzhen.

The dust particles cannot be stretched or contracted at will; their length is only slightly over a meter, so it would be a bit crowded for two people to stand on them.

Yan Feichen glanced at Lin Zhenzhen's waist, which was lightly bound by a white ribbon, and his face began to burn again.

"Come on up." Lin Zhenzhen looked at his bright red earlobes and said with a smile.

"Why do you blush so easily, like a shy young wife?"

Yan Feichen quickly looked up at her, then stepped forward without saying a word, steadily landing on Zhuiyue.

Lin Zhenzhen clearly felt the sudden low pressure behind her.

Why are you suddenly unhappy?

Just as they were about to leave, a muffled groan suddenly came from behind them.

The two turned around at the same time and saw the monster's corpse lying on the ground move.

Yan Feichen reacted quickly. He leaped down from Zhuiyue and, without caring whether he had a weapon or not, used his body to block her.

"Wait a minute." Lin Zhenzhen pulled him away. "I think I heard someone calling for help."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a clearer cry of "Help!" reached their ears.

It was coming from under the corpse of the monster.

Lin Zhenzhen drew her sword, Zhuiyue, and swung it toward the source of the strange noise.

A flash of silver light, and the sharp sword energy sliced ​​off half of the centipede's body, revealing a man's head.

He was on the verge of death, barely breathing, having been crushed by a heavy object for too long.

The man struggled to open his eyelids, and the first thing he saw was Yan Feichen.

He immediately opened his eyes in terror and struggled to crawl out.

He shouted as he climbed.

"Monster! Aaaaa, monster! You monster, stay away from me!"

"Senior brother, look carefully, I am Yan Feichen."

Upon hearing his voice, the man reacted even more intensely.

He hugged his head tightly with both hands, using all his strength to curl himself into a ball.

He kept repeating, "Don't eat me, don't eat me."

Lin Zhenzhen pulled Yan Feichen behind her and stepped forward herself.

She crouched down and softened her tone, saying, "Don't be afraid, there are no monsters here now, you're safe."

"No monsters?" The man hesitated for a moment.

"That's right, open your eyes and look, I'm here to save you."

The man opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Lin Zhenzhen's clothes hanging on the ground.

He slowly moved his gaze upwards and saw her face clearly.

"I am Lin Zhen, the peak master of Tianfeng Peak. Do you know me?"

"Lin Zhen, you are that monster's master. You are also a demoness!"

"Don't eat me! You two, don't eat me!"

Lin Zhenzhen: ......

Yan Feichen frowned, looking puzzled.

"Master, what exactly is going on? Why did he call me a monster?"

"It's most likely that they inhaled some hallucinogenic gas, which caused them to hallucinate."

"But I've already recovered, why is he still..."

Lin Zhenzhen interrupted him, saying evasively, "That's normal. Everyone's constitution is different, and the effects of illusions vary from person to person."

"I see." Yan Feichen nodded.

Between their conversations, the man kept repeating things like monsters and demons eating people, and telling Lin Zhenzhen to stay away from him, which annoyed Lin Zhenzhen.

She was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so she simply knocked him unconscious.

“Take him with you.”
