From beginning to end, the saintess calmly observed everything, as if she had only done a trivial matter.
Under the brilliant light, her face appeared exceptionally cold, and her entire body was enveloped in a halo.
Unlike the Shadow Demon King, who was surrounded by light but had a dark interior, she now seemed to radiate auspicious multicolored light, giving her a sacred appearance.
If the demons saw this scene, they would probably kneel down and worship her, for she truly possessed the qualities of a chosen saintess.
After the historian of time had completely disappeared, the saintess turned and left. She simply took a step, and although she seemed to walk very slowly, she disappeared into the forest with each step.
Not long after, she returned to the vicinity of the cave. She rubbed her face, wiping away the coldness on her face and replacing it with her usual gentle smile.
Just then, Zu'an hurriedly came out from the side and visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her.
He immediately stepped forward and gave her a big hug, saying, "You scared me to death! I felt a commotion outside, and when I came out I didn't see you. I thought something had happened to you."
The moment she was embraced, her body stiffened, and her hand, which had been raised, froze in mid-air.
However, feeling the other person's concerned words, her expression softened, and she naturally wrapped her arms around him, saying softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I was just scared by the light over there."
Zu An looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, "Wait for me here, I'll go check out the situation."
"Don't go, I'm worried it might be dangerous," the saintess hurriedly pulled him back.
Zu An smiled and said, "Don't worry, with my current cultivation level, I can protect myself without any problem."
The saintess shook her head again: "But this place could very well be a celestial realm, with too many unknown and powerful beings within, so danger is inevitable."
Zuan frowned and said, "But we can't refrain from doing things just because there is danger. Now that we've come to this world, we're already lacking in information. If we can't gather as much information as possible from all sides, we won't even know how we died in the future."
The saintess glanced at him, somewhat admiring his mindset, and said, "In that case, I'll go with you, so we can look out for each other."
Zu An thought that if he left her here alone, it would be even more troublesome if they got separated in the event of danger, so he agreed: "Okay."
He immediately grabbed her slender waist and flew away into the distance.
The saintess glanced down at the large hand at her waist without making a sound, feeling the faint heat emanating from it, and a blush unconsciously appeared on her face.
Zu An was preoccupied and didn't notice her unusual behavior.
Before long, the two arrived at the place where Mogard had been before.
Zuan put the saintess down and began to examine the surroundings.
"Did you find anything?" the saintess asked cautiously.
Zuan squatted in front of a large pit, pinched the soil on it, and said in a deep voice, "There should have been two creatures here just now, both with very strong cultivation."
"Is that so?" The saintess stood behind him, her eyes sharpening.
"There are still faint traces of fire and light elemental power in the air, indicating that two beings must have fought," Zuan said in a deep voice. "But it's a bit strange. I only sensed a burst of energy for a moment. Could the battle have been decided in a single exchange?"
The saintess came up behind him: "What do you think those two creatures are? Are they human or ferocious beasts?"
“There is too little information to be sure right now,” Zuan shook his head slightly. “The only thing we can be sure of is that it shouldn’t be a ferocious beast. There are no traces of ferocious beasts here, or even within dozens of miles. It seems that those ferocious beasts are afraid of something and dare not approach this place.”
Zuan had just secretly used the communication ability of the jade cong to try to contact the nearby animals to see if they had seen anything, but all the animals within a radius of dozens of miles had run away, and there wasn't a single living creature.
Hearing him say that, the saintess withdrew her hand: "Since we can't find anything, let's leave as soon as possible to avoid any complications. I have a vague feeling of unease; this place is somewhat dangerous."
Zuan nodded slightly: "I also have a sense of unease."
He actually wanted to say that he had been feeling inexplicably uneasy these days, but to avoid making the other person worry too much, he didn't go into too much detail.
Seeing that he couldn't find anything there, he took the saintess back to the cave they had been in before.
As he frowned in thought, a pair of hands gently pressed on his temples: "I feel you've been too stressed lately, so try to relax."
Feeling the gentle touch of the other person's fingertips, Zu An smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want this either, but the current situation is really dangerous. If I make any mistake, not only will I lose my life, but I will also implicate you."
Now, Sorenshi is imprisoned by Salame, Ji Xiaoxi and the other two girls have lost contact, and more importantly, Damanman seems to have gotten into trouble as well.
"Are you worried about Sister Pei?" the saintess asked as she massaged his back.
“Yes, I haven’t found her anywhere inside or outside the imperial mausoleum,” Zuan said in a deep voice. “I even doubt whether she’s actually here at the imperial mausoleum.”
The saintess paused slightly as she pressed his hand down: "Then let's go to that town again after we leave to investigate and see if there are any other clues."
"That's all we can do."
The saintess continued to gently massage with her fingertips: "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Sometimes no news is the best news."
Zuan couldn't help but take her hand and pull her into his arms: "Ling'er, you really are my confidante. Your comfort has calmed me down a lot."
Held in his arms, the saintess blushed slightly: "Brother Zu, you're teasing me again."
Seeing her shy and bashful appearance, Zu An couldn't help but be tempted and lowered his head to kiss her.
The saintess was visibly startled and instinctively tried to dodge to the side, but was worried that the other party would discover something.
In that short moment of hesitation, her lips were already captured by his.
Feeling the other's burning lips, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in the saintess's eyes, but she quickly controlled her emotions, leaving only shyness and bewilderment.
When his large hand slipped inside her clothes, she finally came to her senses a little more and couldn't help but playfully press his hand down: "You were just saying this is a place full of unknowns, how can you be in the mood for doing this now?"
"But you just said that we should enjoy life while we can and not worry too much."
"I was just trying to comfort you... um..." The saintess wanted to say more, but her lips were already sealed.
A flash of shame and anger crossed her eyes. She gently placed her fingertip on the back of his head; a single poke would be enough to kill him.
However, considering her own plans, she ultimately gave up. Oh well, it wasn't the first time the two of them had done this.
In her daze, she felt the overwhelming pressure from the other party. Her cheeks flushed red, and she bit the other party's shoulder hard.
"It's all because of that..."
"Ouch, be gentle!"
