He was a very gentle-looking person. Following Song Mengmeng's gaze, she saw him looking down at a stray dog ​​curled up at his feet, eating a big meal.

It was obvious that the piece of meat the little dog was currently enjoying was his gift.

This seemingly harmless man was the first time that the King of Hell had shown such a straightforward and protective attitude towards her.

Song Mengmeng had a gut feeling that this person was not as simple as she seemed.

Just as Yan Di noticed the man's presence, the man naturally also saw Yan Di and Song Mengmeng. Not only was he not surprised at all, but he also raised his hand and waved in his direction, acting as if they were old friends. He walked up to Yan Di in a few steps and said, "Long time no see. I didn't expect that we would meet here."

"What are you doing here?" Yan Di looked at the man in front of him. Although his tone was as calm as ever, Song Mengmeng had known him for quite some time and could still keenly sense that something was wrong with his emotions.

He didn't like the man who had come over to greet him, who seemed to be an old acquaintance.

However, it's like a piece of chewing gum stuck to your body that you can't get rid of, the kind of thing you have to deal with patiently.

Song Mengmeng was very obedient and did not peek out to examine the other party. Instead, she followed Yan Di's movements and hid behind him without showing her face from beginning to end.

However, despite her attempt to hide, the man opposite her did not ignore her presence. He did not answer Yan Di's question, but instead bent down with great curiosity, turning his head to try and get a clear look at Song Mengmeng hiding behind Yan Di: "Oh, where did you find this little cutie, hiding her so well... hey!"

The man's eyes were filled with intense curiosity. Although there was no sign of malice at the moment, Yan Di still kicked his improper behavior away without any politeness.

The man, despite being kicked away so rudely by Yan Di, strangely didn't get angry. Instead, he stood up with a smile, patted the slightly disheveled hem of his clothes from dodging Yan Di's attack, and then looked back at Song Mengmeng behind Yan Di, speaking to her very politely: "Little cutie, I'm Yan Di's friend, my name is Gu Qi. If Yan Di can't help you with anything in the future, you can come to me!"

"No need." Yan Di glanced at Gu Qi with some disdain, then pulled Song Mengmeng and turned to leave.

Gu Qi wasn't in a hurry or angry. Instead, he looked in the direction Yan Di and Song Mengmeng had left, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

Pixiu...

interesting!

"Do you know that person?!" Song Mengmeng obediently followed Yan Di for quite a distance before slowing down when she realized Gu Qi hadn't followed. However, despite her obedient demeanor, she was still quite curious about the man who had just appeared.

She knew Yan Di's personality very well. Don't be fooled by his usual gentle and calm demeanor; he was not someone to be trifled with. And Gu Qi's behavior just now could be described as provocative!

However, the King of Hell did not actually do anything to him, but instead chose to take him away directly.

Such an attitude...

So, what is Gu Qi's identity...?

"Have you heard of Qiongqi?" Yan Di didn't intend to hide Gu Qi's identity from Song Mengmeng.

The young girl had only just come of age and her strength was limited. It was perfectly normal that she couldn't recognize some of his true forms. Gu Qi, based on his seniority in this world, was even older than him.

Not long after he arrived and forced the Heavenly Dao of this world to back down, Gu Qi appeared.

Although both are ferocious beasts, he didn't like dealing with the Qiongqi. The Qiongqi was simply too ruthless and cunning for him to bear.

However, Gu Qi did not seem to intend to simply stay out of his way so easily. After trying to make a move on him a few times and being tricked back by him, Gu Qi became much more obedient.

At least when they met again, he was able to sit at a table and talk to him calmly.

For a long time afterward, Gu Qi basically disappeared again. Until today, on the food street in this remote Baiyue City, he encountered that person he didn't like very much again.

Emperor Yan reached out and ruffled Song Mengmeng's hair, subtly changing the subject: "Shall we go back now that we're full?"

"Qiongqi, is that one of the ferocious beasts?!" Song Mengmeng looked down at the mango dessert she had just bought, and after thinking for a moment, she realized what the Yama Emperor meant by Qiongqi.

so……

"Gu Qi is Qiongqi?!"

"Hmm." Yan Di nodded, responding frankly to Song Mengmeng's guess: "He is Qiongqi, and he even came into this world earlier than me."

"Then how come he's here?" Song Mengmeng narrowed her eyes, thinking about Qiongqi's characteristics, and then about the missing expedition team members. Could it be that he was also related to these two mysterious cases?

"I don't know. He's always been elusive, and I haven't seen him in a long time." Yan Di clearly didn't want to waste any more time on Gu Qi, so he pulled Song Mengmeng along as they walked out of the food street, asking her where she wanted to go next.

Song Mengmeng did not expect that after she left temporarily to take care of her business, she would see Gu Qi again in the lobby of the guesthouse after going downstairs.

"What a coincidence! I never expected we'd be staying at the same guesthouse." Upon seeing Song Mengmeng, Gu Qi looked surprised but also delighted, and quickly came over to greet her: "What, isn't Yan Di here so early in the morning?!"

"He went out to handle some matters." Knowing that the other party was Qiongqi, Song Mengmeng dared not be careless at all when she was with him.

You should know that the Qiongqi is a ferocious beast that eats people!

Since she didn't know if it would even eat beasts, she decided to be cautious!

After all, if they were to actually fight now, she definitely wouldn't be able to win!

"Why would someone as busy as Emperor Yan come to a remote place like Baiyue? You don't seem like you're here for tourism!" Gu Qi looked Song Mengmeng up and down for a long time before laughing and asking curiously, "After all, there's nothing here except mountains!"

"Not necessarily, maybe there's something else!" Song Mengmeng looked Gu Qi up and down. Yesterday, because they were outside and because of Yan Di's attitude, she couldn't pay much attention to Gu Qi, so she missed the familiar scent on him.

There was no one else in the hall at the moment, and the two of them were close together, so as soon as they got close, Song Mengmeng smelled the familiar earthy scent on him: "For example, the Medusa, the Gorgon who only appears in legends!"
