Trapped within the barrier set by the Devouring Array Beast, Liu Ling's heart raced, like an ant on a hot pan. She desperately tried to break free, but was repeatedly stopped by the invisible yet resilient barrier. Only when she saw Yu Kai and the others safe and sound did her heart finally settle, and a look of relief crossed her face. Liu Ling quickly ran to the edge of the barrier and waved her arms at Yu Kai and the others, her movements eager and passionate.
At the same time, the Devouring Formation Beast spoke to Yu Kai in an urgent and vigilant voice, "That old monk and the donkey definitely have bad intentions! Think about it, they're so powerful, yet they're so polite to a young monk like you, who has only a limited cultivation base. There must be something fishy going on! I'll remove the barrier right now. You take that girl with you, and let's get out of this dangerous place!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Kai felt the Devouring Beast's words made perfect sense, and he immediately replied with a voice transmission, "Alright!" In an instant, the barrier vanished like a dream. Yu Kai flashed like a streak of black lightning, leaping forward and firmly grasping Liu Ling's slender waist before darting off into the distance. The two of them, along with the beast, instantly transformed into a dazzling streak of light, vanishing into the vast sky in the blink of an eye.
"Tsk! I thought you were so powerful, but you just ran away in such shame!" The donkey looked at the direction they were going away, his face full of disdain, and he curled his lips and said contemptuously.
The old monk stroked his beard gently, his eyes deep and far-reaching, as if he could see through everything in the world. He said slowly: "This imperial beast is extremely afraid of us."
The donkey's face was full of confusion. He tilted his head and couldn't help asking, "This one-eyed flying snake doesn't look like an animal from here. Where did it come from?"
The old monk raised his head slightly, his gaze cast towards the mysterious forest shrouded in mist year-round, and slowly said, "Forget it, let them be. Let's go to the Misty Forest and see what kind of opportunity is hidden there that could allow Yu Kai's strength to increase so rapidly."
When the donkey heard this, his expression instantly became nervous, and he hurriedly said, "Master, that place is not easy to enter! Tongtian Patriarch is still recovering from his injuries, and even the famous Four Swords of Zhuxian were broken there!"
The old monk's aura suddenly changed, like a surging ocean wave. A glint of eagle-like sharpness flashed in his eyes, and he said decisively, "With you and I joining forces, is there any place in this world we cannot conquer?"
Feeling the old monk's surging fighting spirit, the donkey suddenly became energetic, neighed excitedly, and instantly turned into a stream of light, galloping towards the misty forest like lightning.
Elsewhere, the Formation Devourer, desperately fleeing through the void, keenly noticed that the old monk and the donkey were no longer paying attention to their movements, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Its body instantly shrank to the size of a palm, landing lightly on Yu Kai's shoulder and saying, "Boy, they're not chasing us anymore, slow down!"
"Huh!" Yu Kai also breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he suddenly realize that he was still hugging Liu Ling tightly, while Liu Ling's cheeks had already turned as red as ripe apples, and she was so shy that she buried her head so low that it seemed as if she was burying it in the ground.
Yu Kai realized his actions were a bit abrupt, and hurriedly stopped in mid-air. He let go of Liu Ling and explained apologetically, "Miss Liu, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I was really worried that the old man had ill intentions, so I didn't dare to delay even a moment. I was extremely anxious and just wanted to get you out of danger as soon as possible, so... that's why I was so rude..."
"It's okay." Liu Ling's voice was as soft as the flapping of mosquito wings. She didn't dare to raise her head, and didn't dare to look directly into Yu Kai's eyes, as if the shyness would become stronger as soon as she looked.
"Boy, I think this girl is pretty good, and she's interested in you too. You might as well marry her home!" The Formation-Devouring Beast suddenly shouted loudly on Yu Kai's shoulder, and the voice broke the delicate atmosphere.
Upon hearing this, Yu Kai hurriedly said, "Senior, please don't say anything nonsense. If this gets out, how will Miss Liu cope with herself in the future?"
The Devouring Beast refused to give in and continued teasing, "You've already hugged and embraced me, and you still want to deny it? Or do you look down on me?"
Hearing this, Liu Ling's expression dimmed slightly, and her originally rosy cheeks seemed to lose some of their color. Seeing this, Yu Kai's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly explained, "Miss Liu, I'm truly sorry. It's not that I don't want to take responsibility, and I don't mean to look down on you in the slightest!"
"Then what are you hesitating about? Just marry her. Yeah! It's settled! As your elder, I will be a witness!" The Formation-Devouring Beast looked like he had taken on the responsibility and would not allow any doubt.
"This... Senior, we have to ask Miss Liu if she is willing to do this first. Besides, how can I have time to get married now? My mother is still trapped in the endless void, facing unknown dangers at all times; my father is imprisoned in the Lingxiao Emperor Tower, and his life or death is uncertain; my younger sister has not been heard from or found, and her whereabouts are unknown. I really don't have the mind to think about these romantic matters." Yu Kai's face was full of worry, and his expression seemed a little decadent, as if he was suffocating under the pressure of a heavy burden.
"I do. I'm willing to wait for you! Wait until you're done with everything, then marry me!" As if summoning the greatest courage of her life, Liu Ling suddenly raised her head and looked at Yu Kai with a determined gaze, her eyes gleaming with a fiery light. She knew full well that missing out on someone as outstanding as Yu Kai would be a lifelong regret. Yu Kai was kindhearted and handsome; in her heart, he was a rare and perfect match.
"This..." Yu Kai was speechless for a moment. Looking at Liu Ling's eyes that were as firm as a rock, he slowly said, "The road I will take is thorny and the enemies I will face are powerful beyond imagination. If you follow me, you will definitely be implicated. Even your family and sect will be implicated."
