"Senior apprentice-brother!" Gu Hua Wei Wei walked up to Lu Cheng, his unspeakable worry making her a little worried. "Sorry." At the end of the day, it was her that had harmed him and overdrawn his spiritual power. Not everyone could do it, but Lu Cheng had.

"I'm fine." Lu Cheng raised his hand to indicate that he was fine. With a comforting smile, he replied, "But I'm still a little tired. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Gu Hua Wei Wei Wei did not believe in this kind of comfort. Even though she was just a transcender, she still had the ability to see through things.

She used her spiritual sense to search through the space within the jade buckle. She wanted to find a pill that could replenish her spiritual energy.

There were only some qi and blood replenishing pills in the pill room, as well as some pills that she didn't know about. She didn't dare to carelessly give them to Lu Cheng to consume.

Putting her hand into her storage bag, Gu Hua Wei sneakily took out a bottle of qi replenishing pills, poured out two of them, and handed them to Lu Cheng. "Senior brother, before we leave, Master gave them to me.

Lu Cheng's long and narrow eyes glanced at her as he received the pill. The smile on his face gradually deepened as he replied, "Many thanks to Junior Sister."

Gu Hua Wei Wei immediately took out a bowl of lake water and handed it to him. "Drink some water."

Lu Cheng took her water and swallowed the pill. Gu Hua Wei let out a sigh of relief. He didn't know how effective the pill would be, but he knew it wouldn't be too bad. After all, it was made by an Immortal alchemist.

It seemed that it was due to eating the pill that a healthy blush appeared on New Deer City's pale face. Only then did Gu Ruoyun let her worries rest.

"I've recovered some." Lu Cheng coughed and Gu Hua looked at him. He continued, "It's not a good idea to stay here any longer. We have to leave as soon as possible."

"Senior-apprentice Brother is right." Yu Han, who had remained silent all this while, also spoke up, "No one knows if those poisonous bugs will return or not. The most important thing is to find a safe place to spend the night."

Lu Cheng looked at the sky above the trees, where there was almost no light to be seen. "There are still at least six hours until daybreak. We have to focus."

"Senior Brother, maybe we can continue moving forward." Gu Hua Wei said indifferently.

"I think so too." Lu Cheng nodded. "Going back is the path of the weak. Finding our destination is our goal." They could not turn back now. Since they had reached this point, they had to pay the price. No matter what was ahead of them, they could only move forward!

"I'll lead the way." Yu Han stood up. A thirteen or fourteen year old teenager was no longer as young as he was when they first met. He now had the courage to shoulder a big responsibility. "You and Senior Brother to walk behind us." As she spoke, she glanced at the frowning and thinking girl, "Then there's a junior apprentice sister taking care of Senior Martial Brother."

"Alright." The three of them returned to their original path. Along the way, the teenager held the longsword in his hand and the gold-glazed lamp in his hand as he led the way in front of them. The girl in the light yellow dress gently supported the green-clothed youth, appearing especially silent in the tranquil forest.

Gu Hua could clearly feel that the teenager's body was almost nothing but bones. Lu Cheng's body was thinner than she had expected, but it was filled with power. He was like an underage cheetah, waiting for his own path of king.

He and New Deer City were two different people. Li Xiaoming could make her feel full of trust, but New Deer City gave her an indescribable feeling of vigilance. Even if he saved her, she still felt that there was an unspeakable contradiction.

It was as if he had the appearance of a young man, but the heart of an adult.

It was a subtle sense of mutual rejection between the same kind of people.

"Junior Sister, what's wrong?" As if noticing her absent-mindedness, the young man's worried greetings immediately made her retract her suspicions.

"It's nothing, I'm just a bit worried for you, senior brother."

"I'm fine." The youth's lips curled up into a slight smile. In the weak light of the lamp, there was actually something as warm and jade-like as unspeakable. This kind of smile finally gained a little more sincerity.

"Senior brother, when we find a safe place, you must take a good rest." Gu Hua Wei Wei Wei didn't want to suspect this youth anymore. She herself was a transmigrated beast, what right did she have to question others?

"Alright." The youth returned his hand and held her wrist, placing a portion of his body's weight on her. Only then did Gu Hua Wei realize that his body was actually so cold that it caused people to worry.

How could his fingers be so cold …

Trembling, she called out to him, "Senior Brother …"

He replied to her weakly, as if talking was already a luxury.

"Are you cold?"

The young man forced himself to open his eyes and look at her. His narrow almond-shaped eyes were filled with an indescribable weakness. He tightened his grip on his wrist and his fingers became like winter's ice. "So cold, so cold …"

For some reason, Gu Hua Wei's nose was a little sore. She had never seen a city like this before, so her weakness made her feel an indescribable sadness.

The New Deer City that she had seen always wore a mask of hypocrisy. When she smiled, it was gentle, gentle, cool, and tranquil … Never was there a weakness.

"Get on my back." Gu Hua used her hands to support his tottering body, half-bowing in front of him. The teenager's consciousness vaguely fell onto her back, losing the last bit of consciousness as he fell into a deep dream.

When Yuhan heard this, she turned around and saw the young girl easily carrying the youth on her back. She then said, "Let me do it."

The youth held the gold-glazed lamp tightly as he stared at the mountain road that was getting more and more wet. The ground was almost muddy, and it was moist and filled with an indescribable fishy smell, as if something had died and was rotting underground.

This scent caused the youth leading the way to frown. He was well aware that the place they were looking for might not be far away.

However, what was inconceivable was that the destination was so late. It caused people to feel a chill run down their spines.

The tall trees became more serene and cold, and more and more dense, looking from afar. It was as if rows and rows of soldiers were standing guard, protecting a piece of land.

In the dense night, the dim yellow light illuminated the road ahead, making the night seem more and more dark. In the deathly forest, only the sound of young footsteps could be heard, as well as the sound of the little girl's light breathing.

In the darkness, no one took a glance behind them. No one was looking left and right. Their destination, they were not allowed to turn back.
