The Valley of the Crying Apes is filled with towering trees and various ferns rising from the ground. The terrain is unique, and because it is springtime, the scenery is beautiful. When Nangong Ziyan looked up, she felt as if she had entered the primitive society.
"Yan'er, once we cross this small hill, we'll reach the canyon. We'll camp here tonight, and in three days we'll be at Lingxian Island. Isn't that close?"
"Mmm!" Nangong Ziyan nodded, then looked at Beiming Haotian with delight. She enjoyed living in the wild with him like this.
Bei Ming Haotian responded with a smile, but his eyes carefully scanned the forest. There might be some small magical beasts here, and he was afraid they might suddenly appear and hurt her.
In fact, Bei Ming Haotian's worries were unnecessary. Those demonic beasts, sensing Nangong Ziyan's aura from the shadows, had already retreated to a great distance.
"Hey! Haotian, there are always magical beasts appearing when I pass by here in the past, but why is it so strange today? I haven't seen a single one. I was thinking of making some herb-flavored magical beast meat tonight. It would be really satisfying to slice their meat and grill it." Tian Haoze said as he walked, but Nangong Ziyan felt like vomiting when she heard this.
Before Bei Ming Haotian could answer, Nangong Ziyan asked, "Brother Haoze, have you ever eaten monster meat?"
"Yan'er, is it strange that you've eaten monster meat? There's no one in the world who doesn't eat monster meat, especially those who cultivate outside. After eating monster meat, their physical strength is exceptionally good, and monster meat is more delicious than any other meat. Yan'er, you've eaten it before, haven't you?"
Now it was Tian Haoze's turn to be surprised!
"I've never eaten it." Nangong Ziyan looked incomprehensible. Monsters are also sentient beings, and their skin, which is even thicker than that of dinosaurs, is very difficult to cut open.
"How about I catch one tonight and you can have a taste?"
"No, no!" Nangong Ziyan quickly shook her head and refused; she didn't want to eat it.
“We have food tonight, so we don’t need to hunt, and you wouldn’t be able to either,” Nangong Ziyan said with a smug smile.
"Can't hit him? Yan'er... are you doubting your brother's strength?" Tian Haoze's voice was drawn out, sounding strange.
"That's right! Brother Haoze, Yan'er doubts your strength. You'll be swallowed whole by those magical beasts. And you haven't even gotten married yet."
Nangong Ziyan winked at Beiming Haotian, making him happy even without saying a word.
"Yan'er, do you really, really want your brother to be swallowed by a monster? Yan'er, how cruel you are!" Tian Haoze looked sad and heartbroken, sniffling as he looked at Nangong Ziyan.
"Hehe!" Nangong Ziyan laughed happily.
"Ah...!" Suddenly, a scream came from above Nangong Ziyan's head.
Bei Ming Haotian quickly pulled Nangong Ziyan into his arms, protecting her.
Just as he regained his footing, Tian Haoze lightly touched his toes and leaped into the air.
Nangong Ziyan stared in surprise, wondering if a beautiful woman had fallen from the sky.
With a few graceful turns, Tian Haoze landed with a woman in white in his arms.
After landing safely, the woman kept her eyes tightly closed and was trembling all over, as if she had been terrified.
"Girl, you've landed safely. Open your eyes!" After a while, the woman in Tian Haoze's arms still kept her eyes tightly closed, so Nangong Ziyan had no choice but to speak.
The woman suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Nangong Ziyan, then looked up at Tian Haoze who was holding her. Her face flushed red to the roots of her ears, and she jumped off Tian Haoze's arms.
Tian Haoze was completely baffled. He hadn't done anything to her, had he? He had simply caught her without any real intention.
Nangong Ziyan then took a closer look and saw that the woman was wearing a simple white dress. Although it was simple, the fabric was obviously expensive. Perhaps because she had come to the mountains, her hair was simply tied up. The woman had delicate eyebrows, phoenix eyes, jade cheeks, and cherry lips. She was indeed a beautiful woman.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" the woman asked them, looking at them awkwardly.
"We haven't even asked you what you're doing here yet. This place is remote, and few people know about it. Besides, this is part of the Netherworld Continent." Hearing the woman's unpleasant tone, Tian Haoze's expression also darkened.
"Brother, you're going to scare people like that." Nan Hai Zi Yan winked at Tian Hao Ze.
"Yan'er, she almost hit you, and you're still speaking up for her."
"Well, it didn't hit me, did it?" The woman stared at Tian Haoze. She thought to herself, "My legs went numb, that's why I fell. I didn't expect anyone to be under the tree."
"What if it hits her? You can't afford to pay for my sister, Tian Haoze's sister." Tian Haoze raised his voice. He had saved her life, and not only did she not thank him, she even had the nerve to act like she was in the right.
"I... I didn't know I would fall from the tree! There were a lot of magical beasts here, and I couldn't beat them, so I thought I'd climb a tree to avoid them. They've been guarding me all day, but for some reason, they scattered everywhere. In my excitement, I forgot that my legs were numb, and that's how I fell." The woman explained slowly, looking at Nangong Ziyan with a guilty expression. She would feel uneasy if she had really been hit.
"Don't worry, young lady, those magical beasts won't be coming back," Nangong Ziyan comforted her with a smile, then looked around, "Why did you come to this desolate wilderness all by yourself, young lady?"
"I came to the mountains to train. My sisters all say my cultivation is not good enough and always laugh at me. I had no choice but to come here." The woman's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, as if having poor cultivation was a crime.
