Pushing open the window, a cool breeze blew into the wooden house. The girl in white smiled gently as she looked at the forest dotted with fireflies outside the window, tucking her black hair behind her ear...
Just then, countless streaks of light flashed across the sky—
The white-robed youth, holding a peach blossom fan, stood in mid-air. Beneath his mask were purple eyes that gleamed with sharp light. Black shadows drifted around him.
The peach blossom fan in her hand shimmered faintly with an emerald green light, emitting a cool breeze. Just then, a familiar voice rang out...
"Mo Li, don't let them get away!"
"Of course we won't let him escape so easily!"
Mo Li smiled lightly, then leaped and flew towards the nearest dark figure. In the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of the figure, raised her peach blossom fan and waved it gently. The dark, misty shadow instantly vanished before her eyes.
Mo Li smiled gently, "Mo Chen, I never expected the weapon you transformed into to be so powerful! It truly surprises me!"
"I will change the shape according to your wishes. If you don't like it, you can change it to one you like!" As he spoke, Mo Li felt the peach blossom fan in his hand suddenly become heavy, and then the peach blossom fan turned into a heavy meteor hammer.
Mo Li suddenly felt a heavy force pulling her down towards the ground. Halfway down, she barely managed to regain her balance and couldn't help but curse, "You damned Mo Chen, are you trying to mess with me?!"
Enraged, Mo Li threw the meteor hammer away, which instantly transformed into Mo Chen's true form.
Seeing Mo Li's embarrassed expression, Mo Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Now you know how powerful I am!"
Mo Li rolled her eyes and said seriously, "Stop playing around, hurry up and finish them off so we can go back soon!"
Seeing Mo Li's sudden change to eagerness, Mo Chen couldn't help but smile. "What's wrong? Missing your little sweetheart? So impatient..."
Mo Li rolled her eyes. "Hurry up, stop nagging!"
Mo Chen laughed heartily, his body transforming into a streak of light, darting away like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, all the black shadows vanished.
After resolving everything, Mo Chen turned around and looked at Mo Li with a smug expression, as if she were asking for praise. However, the expected praise did not come. Instead, a red feather floated down from the sky and landed in front of Mo Li. She raised her hand and held it in her palm, and immediately received a message from her mind.
Mo Li's expression immediately changed, and Mo Chen behind her also changed his expression, realizing something was wrong. He flashed to Mo Li's side and asked, "Mo Li, what happened?"
"Yan Ligu just sent word that a spacetime turbulence has appeared, so we probably can't go back for the time being," Mo Li said, frowning.
Mo Chen paused for a moment, then shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Alright, let's wander around this world for a bit!"
"What nonsense! Yan Ligu even told me that there's a very powerful hunter in this world! He told us to be careful!" Mo Li said irritably.
Mo Chen was stunned for a moment, then instantly transformed into a peach blossom fan and snuggled into Mo Li's arms. "Mo Li, you must live well! I'm going back now!"
Mo Li was speechless. This guy only came with half of his soul. As long as his physical consciousness summoned him, he would go back immediately!
Pulling out his peach blossom fan, Mo Li couldn't help but curse angrily, "If I'm finished, you'll be dead too!"
Seeing that the peach blossom fan remained completely still, Mo Li helplessly put it away and transformed into a stream of light, descending upon this world.
They arrived in this world at the break of dawn, when the forest was damp and thick fog was rising.
"I didn't expect the spiritual energy of this world to be so weak..." Mo Li squinted as she looked around. After confirming the direction with her Soul-Painting Eyes, she headed out of the forest.
Just as he left, a slender young woman emerged from the bushes. She was dressed in white, carrying a bamboo basket filled with unknown herbs, and holding a somewhat rusty sickle in her hand.
Gu Yixian wiped the sweat from her forehead, took down the bamboo basket from her back, and checked the quantity of herbs. "Great! We've finally collected all the herbs. Let's hurry and brew the medicine before dawn to take it to Aunt Zhang. Hopefully, it will help Xiaohu get better soon..."
Turning his gaze, he saw a blurry shadow flash by not far away, and couldn't help but wonder, "Strange, there are no hunters in the forest on a foggy day, so how come there are other people besides me?"
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Never mind, I'd better hurry back and brew the medicine."
He picked up the bamboo basket and walked towards the wooden house.
Mo Li walked through the forest. The endless mist grew thicker and thicker. She squinted slightly, standing still. There was no sound or wind around her; it was as if everything except the mist was still! Everything was so eerie…
A sharp glint flashed in Mo Li's purple eyes as she turned to look into the depths of the clouds and coldly said, "Come out! Stop hiding!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds and mist gradually dissipated, and a man dressed in black robes, wearing a black bamboo hat, and holding a huge scythe walked out.
Mo Li squinted at the man and said coldly, "You're the hunter, aren't you?"
"Hissing sounds" The man's eerie laughter sent chills down one's spine.
Mo Li cautiously took out the Peach Blossom Fan, but upon holding it in her hand, she discovered that Mo Chen's energy had already returned to the Nine Springs Realm, and what she held in her hand was just an ordinary fan!
"Hiss hiss hiss—"
Upon seeing this, the man immediately laughed and rushed towards Mo Li. Mo Li's pupils shrank as she saw a look of terror in the man's scythe.
Amidst the flashing blades and the scythe's downward slash, Mo Li's mask was severed in two and fell to the ground, splattering blood that steamed.
