"I also feel that it doesn't seem like it, and I have a bad feeling about it, I feel very uneasy."
Chen Hongyu frowned as he spoke, his expression cautious.
Sun Muqing hesitated for a moment, then turned to Da Gu and Xiao Gu and said, "Da Gu and Xiao Gu, you two wait outside. Don't go into this valley. There's probably something strange in there! Bai Muxue is most likely trapped here!"
Big Gu and Little Gu nodded vigorously, and flapped their wings, making cooing noises incessantly.
"Can they understand human speech?"
Chen Hongyu looked at Sun Muqing in surprise.
"It seems so."
Sun Muqing said with a smile.
After a pause, Sun Muqing continued, "Demon beasts are inherently intelligent, and the higher their rank, the greater their intelligence. Fei Yunyan and the others are fourth-rank demon beasts. They have been raised in our Shenmu Sect for a long time and interact with the sect's disciples every day, so it's not surprising that they can understand human speech. If they had a throat like us humans, they might be able to speak too."
"I've only ever heard of tenth-grade Great Perfection demonic beasts being able to speak human language; I've never heard of a fourth-grade demonic beast being able to talk," Chen Hongyu said with a sigh.
“Perhaps a tenth-grade Great Perfection demon beast can precisely control true qi to imitate human speech, which is why it can speak human language… Alright, that’s not important. Let’s hurry up and go in to investigate. Maybe Bai Muxue is waiting for us to come and save her.” After saying that, Sun Muqing entered the valley with a determined look on her face.
The white mist in the valley surged and rolled like a sea of clouds.
Moreover, this fog is so thick that it seems you could grab it with your hand.
Before long, Sun Muqing and Chen Hongyu were soaking wet, and their hair was also soaked.
Most importantly, Sun Muqing and Chen Hongyu's clothes were also wet.
Chen Hongyu is alright, after all, he's a grown man.
But Sun Muqing was in an awkward position.
After Sun Muqing's clothes got wet, they clung tightly to her body, revealing her beautiful figure and alluring curves.
Chen Hongyu quickly turned his head away, avoiding looking at Sun Muqing, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Sun Muqing, however, remained composed and didn't seem to mind.
However, Sun Muqing was also secretly thinking that she should ask Ye Feng to make her a set of clothes that wouldn't be wet when she got back.
Clothes can also be crafted into magical artifacts, right?
If it's not afraid of getting wet and can repair itself after being damaged, that would be really great.
If it could also have some defensive capabilities, that would really be... Sun Muqing thought about it and then laughed at her own idea.
Am I being too greedy?
Sun Muqing thought to herself, then shook her head, banishing all the chaotic thoughts from her mind.
I wonder what Ye Feng is doing right now?
He must be waiting for me and Lingxuan at the Shenmu Sect, right?
But I can't get in touch with him now.
What is Jiang Lingxuan doing at this moment?
Perhaps she is helping those villagers build houses, or treating their illnesses and injuries.
Jiang Lingxuan is so popular in the village now, she might have already fallen in love with the place.
In the eyes of those villagers, Jiang Lingxuan is now just like a fairy descended from heaven, no different from anyone else, right?
Sun Muqing started to let her mind wander again, with more and more chaotic thoughts popping into her head.
It was at this moment that Sun Muqing suddenly realized something was wrong.
Although I often have random thoughts, it's not to the point that I can't concentrate!
There's definitely something fishy going on here!
Could it be that this hazy white fog is affecting me?
Sun Muqing turned her head and glanced at Chen Hongyu. She saw that Chen Hongyu's eyes were lifeless, and he was walking forward step by step like a walking corpse. It was obvious that Chen Hongyu had also fallen for the trick!
When I was having these wild thoughts, I was probably just like Chen Hongyu, right?
Sun Muqing quickly suppressed her thoughts and let out a soft shout: "Chen Hongyu, wake up!"
Sun Muqing's voice boomed in Chen Hongyu's ears like a thunderclap, instantly snapping him out of his daze.
"What just happened to me?" Chen Hongyu asked instinctively.
"This white mist is probably strange. It makes people unable to concentrate and enters a state of random thoughts. Once in this absent-minded state, they will involuntarily move closer to the depths... I estimate that there must be something terrifying waiting for us in the center of this valley, which is the deepest part of the white mist!"
"This thick white fog is most likely created by that terrifying thing!"
Sun Muqing frowned as she spoke, her expression very serious.
Chen Hongyu was so frightened that his face turned pale and his lips almost lost all color.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Senior Sister Sun, why don't we retreat immediately? There are only two of us; we're far too few people!"
"Please, we're both True Yuan Realm martial artists, can't you have a little courage?" Sun Muqing said irritably.
Chen Hongyu's face, which had been pale with fright, suddenly turned bright red.
He stammered, "It's not that I'm cowardly or afraid of trouble, I just feel that we don't need to take such a risk. We should go find Elder Cao and the other senior and junior brothers first. After we find them, we can come here to investigate. That way, we can ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
"Why should we take the risk when there are safer options available?"
Chen Hongyu's words do make sense, but they are not entirely correct.
Sun Muqing shook his head and said, "You're right. It would be foolproof to come here after we find Elder Cao and the others, but can you be sure that Bai Muxue can hold on until then? Bai Muxue might already be on the verge of death. We don't have that much time!"
Chen Hongyu gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
Sun Muqing smiled and looked at Chen Hongyu seriously, saying, "You should only be at the early stage of the True Yuan Realm right now, right? Don't worry, Junior Brother Chen, I will protect you if we encounter any danger later. If your strength is insufficient, just hide behind me."
"Thank you, senior sister."
Chen Hongyu quickly thanked him.
After saying that, Chen Hongyu looked Sun Muqing up and down.
Looking at Sun Muqing's beautiful face and alluring figure, Chen Hongyu felt his heart begin to stir.
Senior Sister Sun is so beautiful, and she's also a very nice person.
If only I could be with her and become her partner, how wonderful that would be!
Wait a minute, Senior Sister Sun must have feelings for me, right?
She took good care of me, and just now she told me that if I encountered danger, I could hide behind her and let her protect me.
Senior Sister Sun might have taken a liking to me!
Come to think of it, I am quite handsome, and I am a martial artist at the True Yuan Realm. It's not surprising that Senior Sister Sun took a liking to me!
