"You guys continue with your training first!" This general will bring the little prince here to play with you all! " Mu Xiyuan bellowed, he turned and walked towards the training grounds.
On the other side, Yue Liusu chased after Shen Jueming and the others without stopping. Although she did not know the way, Xiao Chen knew the way, he was very familiar with this route.
That night, Yue Liusu and Xiao Chen picked up firewood and started a bonfire. She was roasting food she brought from the army camp on the fire, just in these two days, after she familiarized herself with the forest, she would be able to be self-sufficient.
"Big sister, we've been following them for an entire day and we still haven't caught up. What should we do?" Xiao Chen sat beside Yue Liusu quietly with a worried expression.
"Keep chasing." Yue Liusu appeared to be relaxed, as long as she had the heart to chase after him, there would be a day where she would catch up to him.
"But we've already chased for two days and two nights, and we still haven't caught up …" He was very clear about how big the Tianhai was. Even if he used it to fly, it would still take him a few hundred days to fly around the entire Tianhai.
"Don't worry, I will catch up." Yue Liusu passed the roasted food to Xiao Chen, "Eat, after you finish eating, go back and rest, I will continue on my journey."
"Elder sister still needs to travel alone?" Xiao Chen asked with pain in his heart. One must know that Yue Liusu had not slept for two days and two nights straight on the road in order to catch up to the footsteps of the Great Devil King.
"Right." Yue Liusu smirked and laughed: "Don't worry, if I can't hold on any longer, I will find a safe place to sleep. The two of them have a huge goal to travel to, so I can take care of it myself."
"Now that we are almost within the Devil Clan's domain, it is not very safe to bring you along." she asked cautiously.
"But big sister, Xiao Chen doesn't trust you." Xiao Chen carried the food in his hands, and no one knew what he was eating. His heart ached for Yue Liusu very much, he was originally a very mischievous Divine Beasts, but after staying by her side for the past few years, he had learnt a lot.
"It's fine, I'll call you if there's anything. I won't be so stupid as to fight Devil Clan head on." Yue Liusu said.
She knew that Xiao Chen was worried about her, that's why she couldn't bear to hide things from him sometimes.
"I …" Xiao Chen pursed her lips, feeling that she was a little useless, unable to protect her master.
"An Lai! My Xiao Chen is the best!" When the sun rises, big sister will wake you up and you'll accompany me on my journey, how about that? " Yue Liusu lured him.
"Then …"
"It's decided then. Hurry up and eat. Only after you've eaten will you have the strength to sleep." Yue Liusu's reason was far-fetched, but it was enough to trick a pet.
"Alright." Xiao Chen thought for a while, before fainting on the spot. As he did not understand the situation, he nodded his head sleepily and continued to eat.
Waiting until the last bit of the flame light disappeared, Yue Liusu finally received Xiao Chen into the lake of hearts. Standing up, he faced the moonlight and began to determine the direction.
Travelling late at night was not very safe. Perhaps because they were approaching the Devil Clan Domain, the demonic beast s around them increased in number. She silently flew through the forest, occasionally catching sight of green eyes that flickered in the darkness.
She thought, if she was surrounded by demonic beast, would she be able to accidentally get so scared that not even bones would remain? Hah, fortunately, they had probably felt Xiao Chen's aura, so they could only watch from afar and did not approach her.
Yue Liusu's feet lightly tapped the ground, and he leapt out of another tree. His body flashed, and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
In the morning, one full dew after another hung on the dense leaves, until the corners of Yue Liusu's skirt were wet. Only then did she stop her steps, stood on top of a tall tree branch, and gazed at the sun that hung in the sky.
"Sigh …" She suddenly took a deep breath and looked into the distance. She did not know where Shen Jueming was right now. Could she catch up in two days?
Before she could even take a breath of air, the sound of hurried footsteps came from not too far away. She quickly turned around and hid in the dense leaves. A row of people wearing black robes passed by her and quickly disappeared in front of her.
"This is?" Yue Liusu frowned as she listened to the footsteps that were gradually getting further away.
"Elder sister, those are people from the Devil Clan. We just entered the domain of the Devil Clan." Xiao Chen's voice transmitted into his mind as she quickly summoned him out of the lake.
Xiao Chen floated in the air, parallel to Yue Liusu, with a serious expression on her cute little face. "Elder sister, from here on, every step we take is extremely dangerous, we must not encounter anyone with Devil Clan, and we must not be caught by them, or else the consequences will be dire! Do you understand? "
"Don't worry, I know." Yue Liusu laughed and said. She naturally knew the dangers involved and she would think of a way to bypass all the people from the Devil Clan and safely keep up with Shen Jueming's footsteps.
"Sister, did you not rest last night?" When Xiao Chen saw Wu Qing in front of Yue Liusu's eyes, he knew that she had once again snuck off by herself. Adding to the fact that he had already reached the area of Devil Clan the moment he woke up,
The journey that she originally needed to travel for two days was forcefully shortened to one night. Only she could do such a crazy thing.
"I'm fine." Yue Liusu had never thought of denying it.
"Elder sister, it's best for you to find a place to rest. Otherwise, when you meet someone from Devil Clan, you won't have the energy to escape. Xiao Chen will guard you, and once there's any movement, you will be immediately woken up." Xiao Chen advised.
Alright, Yue Liusu will give you a perfect score for this reason!
Indeed, she could not be captured by the people from the Devil Clan before she could catch up with Shen Jueming, nor could she be captured by the people from the Devil Clan.
"Alright, let's go. Let's first find a safe place to rest for a while. We'll continue our journey in the afternoon." Yue Liusu had planned all of their itineraries extremely clearly, and he definitely wouldn't waste the slightest bit of time.
Shen Jueming's speed was too fast, and she had to persevere on in order to catch up to him in a short amount of time. Otherwise, the more she delayed on the road, the further away she would be from Shen Jueming.
"Right." Xiao Chen knew that Yue Liusu had already made a compromise. If he continued to strongly request for her, she would not even be able to rest.
Waiting until all the footsteps in the forest had disappeared, Yue Liusu and Xiao Chen's figures finally appeared in the forest. Because they were in the domain of Devil Clan, they had a path in front of them.
"Elder sister, these are fruits picked by Xiao Chen on the way here, let's eat some and fill our stomachs." Xiao Chen took out a bear hugged fruit, and passed it to Yue Liusu after wiping it.
"Thank you. Two is enough." Yue Liusu casually took out two wild fruits and started to gnaw on them. She knew that Xiao Chen's appetite was huge, so this little bit of food was probably not enough for him to fill his stomach.
"Elder sister, do you want to eat two more?" Seeing that Yue Liusu ate very little, Xiao Chen asked many times.
"We'll make some food along the way later. It's more important for us to hurry on." Yue Liusu said, she could not wait any longer.
"Oh." Xiao Chen could only reply quietly, he could not even keep up with Yue Liusu's footsteps, he could only float in the air and follow her.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. Xiao Chen was floating and drifting, but seeing that his master was walking so fast, he couldn't even catch up to him in the whole morning.
"Sister, we should find a place to rest first." Xiao Chen reminded her. After all, someone had promised him and kept watching her without stopping. How could he ever feel better in his heart?
"Right." Yue Liusu replied softly. "Let's go, it should be a pretty good place up ahead." She looked ahead and saw a downhill road. If there was no surprise, there should be a river.
Having a river signified that she could bring Xiao Chen for a feast. It would be best if she put some of it in her spatial space, saving a lot of time on the road.
Indeed, as she brought Xiao Chen along, they could already hear the sound of water flowing in less than ten minutes.
"Let's go. We'll rest here for the time being and travel in the afternoon." Yue Liusu laughed.
"Right." Xiao Chen happily replied and took the lead to walk ahead, with Yue Liusu following closely behind.
Only when she arrived at the place did she see that it was actually a living stream. The water inside was crystal clear and the fat fish were swimming freely, not being disturbed by anything else.
After inspecting the surroundings, Yue Liusu started to make his move. He prepared the things that he needed to prepare along the way, in case he couldn't find anything to eat.
When the two of them were full, Yue Liusu jumped onto the tree and found a place to lie down.
"Xiao Chen, if there's anything, just call me. Don't run far." Yue Liusu instructed.
"Yes, big sister can sleep in peace." Xiao Chen replied and continued to catch some fish by the stream. He was prepared to get more so that Yue Liusu would not starve himself to death along the way.
Receiving Xiao Chen's reply, Yue Liusu closed his eyes and fell asleep in ten seconds with one hand on his pillow and one hand on his slender waist.
She was actually very tired. She had always been forcing herself not to stop, because once she stopped, she wouldn't be able to catch up to him. In the end, she discovered that she couldn't overspend herself, otherwise she would still be the one injured.
This sleep of hers once again entered into her dreams. It was pure white chaos, and no matter how one looked at it, they couldn't see the end of it. She wandered about alone, and no one appeared, nor could anyone hear her voice.
A deep sense of helplessness assaulted her, and this strange dream seemed to predict where she would be in the future. No, she didn't want to!
Yue Liusu suddenly woke up from his sleep.
"Elder sister, are you alright?" Xiao Chen worriedly floated beside Yue Liusu, and asked her the moment she woke up.
"I …" Yue Liusu massaged her temples with one hand, she didn't know whether she was good or not. That dream was so real, so real that she felt like she was in that dream, unable to wake up.
