Gu Moyan stayed here for a month. However, she felt that she had followed him for a very long time. It felt like a lifetime, as if she would never be able to return.

Today, Gu Moyan was still the same as usual. These days, he had used the stream to wash himself and his face. His skin was fair and rosy, and he had a pair of bright, large eyes that made him look very pretty. He had a thin frame and was not weak in any way.

As he stepped into the forest, his feet made cracking noises as they treaded on the fallen leaves. It was as if he was in a completely different situation in the forest.

He was living quite well, at least from the time he came out of the village until now.

However, things might be a bit different today. Gu Moyan hummed a tune as he walked, jumping as he headed towards the forest he frequented.

"Roar!"

With this sound, the birds on the trees in the mountains instantly dispersed, chirping away from the forest. Gu Moyan was dazed for a second, as if she couldn't react in time.

Gradually, he could feel the trembling of the sand on the ground, but Gu Moyan was still standing there. Even Gu Mo, who was near him, could feel the danger.

Let's go, quickly!]

Gu Mo shouted at the dazed teenager, but the teenager couldn't hear anything. The ground began to shake more and more violently. The youth did not seem to have any intention of running away. It was as if there was a trace of excitement in his eyes.

The gigantic object that caused the ground to tremble drew closer, and Gumo saw a black dot in the distance rapidly running in his direction.

The young man's eyes were finally clear and his eyes were wide open. Only then did he finally react — it was not something he could afford to offend.

He spread his legs and quickly ran into the forest. Using his small body, he weaved through the dense trees.

As the teenager ran, he looked behind him and noticed that he was closer to the monster. He panicked and started running again. His small body and the monster behind were both chasing each other in the forest. It was quite comical.

A youth about the same age as Gu Moyan had raised his head. He was dressed in black, and his sleeves were covered in complicated patterns with golden threads. His face was warm, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He then made a gesture with his hand, and the group of people behind him quietly snuck into the forest. He then slowly walked into the forest with his hands behind his back.

The forest was silent. There were some messy footsteps and angry growls. The leaves rustled, and there was nothing else left.

The youth dressed in black slowly walked in Gu Moyan's direction with unerring accuracy.

This was the first time Gu Moyan saw someone in the woods, and it was also the most beautiful person he had seen so far. He could not help but run towards him.

"Save me — —" Gu Mo Yan's voice trembled as he shouted, and without thinking, he rushed towards the gentle youth.

When the shadow guards in the forest saw someone pounce on their master, they almost instantly drew their swords. As long as that teenager made a gesture, even if Gu Mo Yan died, he would still not know how he died.

The surrounding area was filled with a murderous aura.

However, Gu Moyan, who was in his warm embrace, didn't feel it at all. His face was buried in his black clothes as he smelled the incense on them. Even though he knew it was wrong, he just didn't want to leave.

"Mo Gu Han." He gently patted Gu Moyan's back as if he was comforting him.
