"What sound? No..." Ji Fengming was about to deny it when he calmed down and, without the sound of water from his movements, he could faintly hear a muffled rumbling sound: "It sounds like... a waterfall?"

Black Owl nodded: "I think so too, and I feel that the water temperature here has warmed up a lot, and the air is also much smoother than before."

"This means we're almost at the exit, we can get out!" Ji Fengming excitedly put his arm around Hei Xiao's shoulder, his excitement overflowing: "Damn it, I can finally enjoy the pleasure of stepping on those bastards and slapping those grandsons again, instead of just fooling around with a bird every day!"

With that, Ji Fengming slapped Qingluan, who was trying to get away from him, into the water, then pulled her back, laughing wildly: "Little ball, from today onwards, you'd better get ready to live a life of luxury with your master, and be the little tyrant of the human world!"

Jinluan: "...Chirp chirp...Pfft hahaha!"

Qingluan: "!!!"

What the heck is this "Little Tyrant Bird"?!

This damn human tyrant bird, I refuse!

Following the rumbling sound, Hei Xiao and Ji Fengming continued swimming forward.

When the roaring sound of the water reached an almost deafening level, they indeed saw the faint outline of the cave entrance appearing in the dim light ahead.

"It's really out!"

Black Owl let out a long sigh of relief, finally relaxing his suppressed emotions.

Ever since they emerged from the Black Purgatory, he and Xiao Jiu had never really liked the feeling of being in a confined, dark environment. Having been trapped in this Yin River Cave for so long, if it weren't for Ji Fengming's constant antics and pranks, he probably would have gone mad long ago.

"Haha, those bastards from the Chen family, how dare they harm me! Tremble, you young master Ji is back!" Ji Fengming shouted excitedly with a laugh.

He hooked his arm around Black Owl's shoulder, pressing Black Owl down and making him bob and sway in the water.

The sound of the water was too loud, and he was afraid that Black Owl wouldn't hear him, so he secretly asked, "Xiao Chen, what do you think? Should we go straight back to the capital and move the Duke of Chen's lair, or should we go to the Northwest to take revenge on those three idiots?"

"Go to the Northwest, to the Chen family's old lair in the capital. Little Yao'er and Little Jiu will take care of it," Black Owl replied telepathically, also in a good mood.

He had become accustomed to Ji Fengming's habit of putting his arm around his shoulder at the drop of a hat and was too lazy to resist.

The waterfall is a very spectacular waterfall.

The water filled the cave entrance, which was about two hundred meters long, before plunging down a cliff about a thousand feet high and into a deep, dark green pool, like a stampede of ten thousand horses, creating a tremendous spectacle. If an ordinary person were swept here by the turbulent current, there would be absolutely no chance of survival.

When Hei Xiao and Ji Fengming rushed to the cave entrance, they simultaneously pushed off with their feet and leaped towards the protruding boulder beside the cliff.

The two climbed up the steep slope to the top of the mountain.

Beneath our feet lay a blanket of white snow, and the rolling mountains were all covered in white, with a faint hint of long-lost verdant green peeking out.

The vastness of nature is invigorating and brings joy to both body and mind.

Ji Fengming suddenly turned around and hugged Hei Xiao tightly, saying emotionally, "Xiao Chen, we died together. From now on, we must live well together. Every word I said to you in the cave counts, and you can take it seriously."

The boy's burning body temperature and fervent words comforted Black Owl's heart, wounded and besieged by darkness, amidst the harsh winter snow.

His hand trembled slightly as he raised it, then lowered it again.

After repeating this several times, she finally bypassed Ji Fengming and gently patted him: "Okay, let's take revenge together and live well together."
