The little black fox proudly raised its head, as if to say, "Mother, you actually don't believe in your son's strength. Heh heh, I won't play with you anymore."

With great satisfaction, Nian Yun smoothed out the little black fox's white fur. He smiled and said, "Son, in order to reward you, you can eat the food inside the bag to your heart's content."

"That's not good, right?" Xin Yue was the first to stop him, "Big Sister Yun Chen, we don't have much rations to begin with and the little black fox is so good at eating.

She slightly frowned. Honestly speaking, Nian Yun Chen didn't like people calling her son a beast. To her, Little Black Fox was a relative. "Let her eat. After she finishes eating, I'll go out and find her."

As a matter of fact, after the little black fox finished eating, there was not much left for everyone to do. It would definitely be extremely unpleasant for Nian Yun Chen to find Meng Xiao Ran, so he asked Xin Yue to stay and take care of Nian Yun and Meng Xiao Ran.

However, one night had passed. Ever since Meng Xiao Ran had left, he had never returned …

The next morning, when the sun had already risen, Nian Yun was standing at the entrance of the cave, eagerly watching. Nian Yun couldn't see Meng Xiao Ran, and Xin Yue had just woken up. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Big Sister Yun Chen, big brother Xiao Ran is back?"

Nian Yun shook his head in disappointment and said with a sigh, "No."

"Oh my god!" Did something happen to big brother Xiao Ran?! Why hasn't he come back yet? "

"Don't be a jinx!" Nian Yun Chen felt his heart was heavy, as if something was going to happen. Hearing Xin Yue's words, he became even more flustered, "Big Brother Xiao Ran has his own destiny. He will be fine."

"Yes, yes. Big brother Xiao Ran will definitely be fine."

However, even after noon had passed, Meng Xiao Ran still hadn't returned?

Everyone couldn't sit still any longer.

"Xin Yue, wait for me here. I'll go look outside." Nian Yun Chen picked up a set of clothes and put it on and was about to leave.

"Big sister Yun Chen, how can you go out to find someone with your body right now? I'll go, you should rest up here."

Nian Yun Chen lowered his head as if he was hesitating. After thinking for a long time, he finally nodded and said, "En, then you must be careful along the way."

"Got it."

After New Moon had left, she had only been deep in thought for a quarter of an hour. Suddenly, she felt that she had made the wrong decision.

Now that they were separated, she even told Xin Yue to find Meng Xiao Ran by herself without any signs. Even if she couldn't find him, what would happen if she got lost?

There was a vague feeling that even the new moon would not return.

Indeed.

In the afternoon, the new moon had yet to return!

Nian Yun Chen could not sit still any longer and immediately patted the little black fox on his shoulder. "Son, let's go out and find someone!"

"Aooo!" The little black fox was very obedient and immediately jumped in front of Jin Yun to lead the way.

She thought that the road ahead would be arduous, but she didn't manage to get a good conversation with him, so she only managed to walk a short distance.

Suddenly, he felt someone tapping on his shoulder.

Ah!" Nian Yun Chen was startled. He turned his head and saw an elderly woman.

The old granny wore a large cloak, and her aged face was hidden deep within it. Her stooped body seemed to be in her seventies or eighties, but her pair of bright eyes seemed to be filled with spirit.

"Who are you?" Nian Yun Chen asked subconsciously.

The old granny gave a faint smile, pointing out with a single sentence, "Little girl, are you looking for a man wearing white brocade with a rose embroidered on his sleeves?

Wasn't that Meng Xiaoran?!

Nian Yun Shen immediately nodded his head and said, "Yes, yes. I am looking for Meng Xiao Ran."

"Oh, so that young master's name is Meng Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, such a good name. It's a pity …"

After hearing the latter half of the sentence, Nian Yun Chen's heart tightened. He took a step forward and asked nervously, "What is a pity? Did something happen to Xiao Ran? "

"Little lady, don't be nervous, I can't be sure what happened to that Xiao Ran you're talking about right now, but I know that if he went to that place, he would only have a slim chance of surviving, so I said it's a pity. If you go look for him now and stop him from going forward, then there's still a chance of survival."

Nian Yun Sen wanted to agree immediately, but he was suddenly enlightened! There was a moment of doubt.

Why did he meet an old granny who thought she was living at a table in such a desolate place? Isn't that strange?

Also, why did this grandma only know that she had seen Meng Xiaoran and that she was looking for her? If he was still willing to lead the way now, wasn't all of this a little too strange?

"Grandma, when did you see Meng Xiao Ran?" Also, where is your home? "If it's convenient, can I find Meng Xiao Ran and rest at your house for a while?" Nian Yun asked probingly.

As expected, the old granny was a bit hesitant. She lowered her head and slightly frowned. "About this, my home is still quite a distance away from here. I'm afraid it's not convenient."

Saying this, the old granny looked a little anxious. "Little girl, are you still looking for Meng Xiaoran? I brought you there out of good intentions. If you don't go, then I won't waste my time."

With that, she left. Although she knew it was a trap, following her was her only hope.

Nian Yun gritted his teeth. In the end, he helplessly said, "Alright, I will go with you!"

"Awoo, awoo." The little black fox seemed to have felt that something was strange and kept on making weird noises as it circled around Shen Yun's feet.

"What the hell is this annoying little fox?!" "Go away!" The old granny seemed to dislike the little black fox very much. She wanted to kick the little black fox, but Nian Yun Chen stretched out his leg ahead of time and blocked her path with a secretive smile.

"Haha …" "Haha, that's enough. Let's go." The old granny seemed to be unwilling to speak any further as she directly walked towards the front.

Although she looked to be around seventy or eighty years old, her speed was indeed very fast, especially now that Nian Yun was deeply injured. With just a few steps, she was completely exhausted, and was almost unable to keep up with her footsteps.

The two of them walked through the forest in silence for about four hours.

The maple leaves that covered the mountains and the plains seemed like a boundless sea of fire. If it was seen on a normal day, it would definitely be a beautiful scenery, but now it seemed somewhat eerie.

"We're here. The place where your young master Meng Xiao Ran disappeared to is up ahead. The road ahead is dangerous. I'll be sending you to this place." The old granny suddenly stopped in her tracks, and Nian Yun almost ran into her.
