Black Owl knew what he was going to say, so he quickly stepped forward to interrupt him and said softly, "No matter who I am, no matter where I stand, I am the Xiao Chen that you... know, and I am a member of this big family."

"Hehe..." Ji Fengming laughed honestly and brightly, revealing two rows of white teeth, looking like a fool.

Black Owl smiled lightly, his long, narrow peach blossom eyes like two shimmering crescent moons, sparkling with tiny starlight, captivating the heart.

Ji Fengming took two more steps forward in a daze, then subconsciously reached out and hooked the person with his arm.

Both of them were taken aback.

Ji Fengming's eyes flickered, the smile on his lips froze for a moment, then suddenly widened: "Hey, you said it. Good brother, no matter what status, no matter poverty or wealth, for life, never abandoning each other."

“…Okay,” Black Owl’s eyelashes fluttered, his voice a little weak: “No matter what our status is, whether we are rich or poor, whether we live long or die, we will never leave each other for a lifetime.”

After saying that, the two remained silent for a while.

Ji Fengming hooked his arm around Hei Xiao and turned around, showing no intention of letting go. His voice sounded nonchalant: "Let's go, let's explore further. I must say, the rocks in this cave are quite beautiful, they feel different from other places."

Black Owl: "..."

He's probably the only one in the world willing to listen to this guy's nonsense!

However, he really had something left unsaid.

The two walked a little further in and found a pool of water where they could see a few scattered lights.

The cave ceiling, about a hundred feet high, has several faint cracks about the thickness of a child's arm, through which the moonlight and starlight shine down, making the pool shimmer. The flowers and plants around the pool are also faintly visible, hazy and indistinct, with a faint fragrance, which is very beautiful.

The place is exceptionally rich in spiritual energy, and the air is filled with a unique and refreshing fragrance.

Ji Fengming was carefree and didn't pay much attention to these flowers and plants, but Hei Xiao immediately noticed that the flowers and plants here were different.

The spiritual energy here enters the body, making one feel exceptionally comfortable, and even the spiritual energy within the body becomes much more active and flows faster.

The flowers and plants here must be extraordinary varieties of spiritual plants.

Ji Fengming wasn't sensitive to flowers and plants, but he was quite alert to potential dangers: "Xiao Chen, there's something here."

“Hmm, the rare and precious materials in the wilderness of the cultivation world are usually guarded by demonic beasts, but don’t worry, it’s just a blue-flowered horned python that is not even at the sixth level. It has already developed some intelligence and dares not attack us rashly.” Black Owl glanced at the direction the horned python had left.

The direction the horned python went from also carried a strong fishy smell, suggesting that its lair was just ahead.

Black Owl didn't go any further, but led Ji Fengming to a huge rock by the pool.

Ji Fengming climbed onto the boulder and then noticed the clusters of small flowers beside it, some dark blue and some dark white.

"These flowers smell quite nice. Yao'er might like them. Let's pick some for Yao'er to take back when we leave," Ji Fengming said with a gentle smile as she lightly stroked the small flowers with her fingertips.

"You treat Xiao Yao'er so well, you always think of her no matter where you are," Hei Xiao said gently.

What she was really thinking was that these spiritual flowers and herbs were rare, and Xiao Jiu and Xiao Yao'er would definitely find them useful;

When he leaves, he will take most of it, leaving only a small portion for the horned python.

“Of course, Yao’er is the apple of our family’s eye. You’ve been very good to her too.” Ji Fengming strode over to Hei Xiao’s side and sat down next to him without any hesitation.
