"Yes! Of course I'm willing! Wherever big sister goes, I'll go. I can protect big sister! " Wu Kong replied without any hesitation. He held back the throbbing in his heart and went forward to hold Luo Liya's hand.

Luo Liya suddenly didn't feel anything, she only felt that the touch of her right hand was too good, it was warm and thick, making her usually cold heart feel as if it had something to cling to.

"Okay, let's go in and see what's inside."

She did not believe that she would not be able to leave after going in. She, Luo Liya, had experienced so many trials and hardships and had a tough life.

The two of them held each other's hands as they walked towards the inner part of the Misty Forest. This time, without the white light of the lightning blocking them, the Misty Forest seemed to have its own consciousness, allowing anyone who wanted to go in to do so, stopping anyone who didn't want to go in to do so. The lightning just now must have been because the Misty Forest didn't want them to go in, but a moment later, this strange forest changed its mind and allowed them to pass through the red lacquer door.

Just as the two of them stepped in, they heard a rustling sound behind them. They turned around at the same time and saw that the door, which had been standing there quietly without a door, was actually closed. They felt their hearts thump, and hurriedly ran over, but the door was already closed, no matter how hard they tried.

"Sister, what should we do? "Looks like there really is a ghost in this forest."

Luo Liya's face was cold as she looked at the door which was as red as blood. In the next moment, she took out her zhenqi stone from her bosom. It was still emitting a faint cold light.

"Tao Tie, quickly come out and help us."

Wu Kong opened his eyes wide, his chin almost dropping to the ground as he looked at Luo Liya. Tao Tie? Wasn't that the beast they were dealing with? Why did Luo Liya call it?

Wu Kong was filled with questions. However, when he saw that Luo Liya acted as if she didn't want to bother with him and didn't dare to ask, he just stood beside her, alert of her surroundings, fearing that some danger would suddenly descend from the sky.

"Tao Tie, quickly come out." Seeing no reaction from the Zhen Qi stone, Luo Liya opened her mouth once again, her eyes unblinkingly looking at the black shadow inside the Zhen Qi stone, concentrating on watching the Taotie's reaction.

Finally, the originally motionless miniature version of the Taotie suddenly trembled, as if it was stretching its body, giving it a cute and lazy appearance.

"Tao Tie." "Ah!" Luo Liya shouted in her mind once again. Then, she saw the shadow kept getting bigger, and then with a moment of carelessness, it slipped out from the Zhen Qi stone in her hand. The roars of the huge beast lingered in her ears, and Wukong was shocked as he hurriedly hugged her tightly, "Elder sister is not afraid, I'm here!"

She was about to push him away to explain, but when she felt his strong heartbeat, she froze for a moment, her cheeks heating up uncontrollably.

However, she quickly pulled her thoughts back, adjusted her mood, and pushed Wu Kong away. "It's okay, it won't do anything to us."

Noticing that Wen Xiang had left his embrace, Wu Kong felt a moment of drowsiness before turning his head to see the Taotie with its head drooping. It had a very docile look, causing Wu Kong to be completely stunned.

Luo Liya smiled as she looked at the Taotie. She originally thought that it was a cruel and bloodthirsty personality, but now it had appeared in such a obedient manner. When she thought about how she let it be like this, she felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Elder sister, what's going on? Isn't it a Taotie that we have already exterminated? " Wu Kong finally asked about the doubts in his heart.

"It's too late to explain now. Let's move aside and see if it can open the door."

Luo Liya said faintly as she pulled Wu Kong to the side to hide. Wu Kong listened to her words the most, obediently following her lead and stood to the side.

"Tao Tie, knock down the door and save us."

Luo Liya opened her mouth once again, when the previously lazy Tao Tie heard its master's order, it instantly became spirited. All of the hair on its body stood up, it stared at its own eyes that were the size of bells, and rushed forward.

Luo Liya and Wu Kong held their breath as they looked at the scene in front of them. The Taotie had many tentacles, and every one of them was stuck to the door, seemingly exerting all of their strength.

However, the red lacquer door didn't budge an inch, and didn't have the slightest movement.

In a split-second, disappointment flashed through Luo Liya and Wu Kong's hearts.

However, before they could be completely disappointed, they saw the Taotie turn around, losing its spirited look from before and reverting back to its docile and obedient look. Luo Liya was surprised, but then she saw Wu Kong's body quickly scuttling over, shouting at her: "Elder sister, the door opened!"

When the Taotie turned around, Wu Kong had already noticed that something was amiss. The door had already loosened a little, so he decisively ran over and lightly pushed it open.

The reason that the Taotie lost its earlier imposing manner was because it completed the mission, not because it was powerless.

Luo Liya was overjoyed. She immediately ran to Wu Kong, and seeing him open the red lacquer door, a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Sister, we can leave now!"

Just as she was about to walk over, she seemed to have thought of something and quickly turned around. There was no sign of Tao Tie, so she lowered her head and looked at the Zhen Qi stone in her hand.

The little guy went back to sleep.

Luo Liya smiled in her heart and put her true qi back. Then, she followed Wu Kong out of the Dense Fog Forest. After the two of them went out, the entire north gate returned to how it was before.

There was no door board and it was empty. The stone with the words "Forbidden Area" carved on it still stood by the side as if nothing had changed.

"This is too strange!" There must be a ghost here. Elder sister, let's not get too close to this place, if it wasn't for the Taotie, we wouldn't even be able to get out.

Hearing this, Luo Liya nodded her head. Indeed, without the help of the Taotie, they would have no choice but to continue walking into the forest, which was definitely more terrifying than the previous one. It was not something they could afford, so before they became stronger, it was better not to act rashly.

Thinking this way, she pulled Wu Kong away, "Wu Kong, don't tell anyone that we're here today, okay?"

"Alright!" "Wu Kong should of course claim that he is. He can ignore anyone's words and only listen to Luo Liya." But big sister, you can't hide it from me either, what exactly is a Taotie? "

When he thought of the fact that Luo Liya held back against him, Wu Kong felt upset in his heart. It was as if Luo Liya didn't take him to be one of her own.

The last time we defeated the Taotie, it was because I had swallowed the immortal grass and the Taotie viewed the immortal grass as a sacred object, so it listened to me, and I am its master, and only Yue Ling and I know about this, and I don't want to be too ostentatious. The more people who know, the more dangerous it is, so I didn't tell you.

When Wu Kong heard this, he was suddenly enlightened. This meant that even Fu Dongming did not know? As long as Fu Dongming did not know, then that was good enough. He proudly thought, "Big sister, don't worry. I will absolutely not tell anyone else. If I break my promise, then let me …" "Let me …"

Wu Kong raised his right hand with an awkward and anxious expression on his face. He was frowning slightly, as if he was pondering on what to say. Seeing him scratching his head, Luo Liya couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Alright, I know you will tell others, no need to swear."

Wu Kong then let out a sigh of relief, sticking out his tongue at Luo Liya, "Elder sister, it's getting late, I'll send you back."

"Alright."

Wu Kong was a chatterbox, and he talked about the funny things that happened in the men's room, such as which man blushed and beat his heart whenever he saw a pretty girl, or which man was the most powerful person on their floor, or who was not fond of hygiene and threw his stinky socks around.

Luo Liya indifferently listened and felt that the man's world was really too hard to understand, but she wasn't too surprised. Who knew that Wu Kong's next sentence would cause her body to stiffen?

"Elder sister, what's Yellow Book?"

Wu Kong asked with a humble attitude.

Luo Liya was stunned for a moment. Seeing Wu Kong's curious expression, she could not help but probe, "Have you seen it before?"

Wu Kong shook his head and said indifferently, "Some of them are reading. When I passed by other rooms, some of them even asked me if they wanted it. I was not interested so I didn't take it. Is it possible to increase your power? "

Wu Kong's gaze was pure and innocent, so Luo Liya believed that he had really never read a book before. Thus, she calmly said, "That is a forbidden book, if teacher finds out about it, he will definitely punish you, so you are not allowed to read it. If you look at it, I will forever ignore you."

Wu Kong was scared out of his wits the moment he heard the key words, "forever", "ignoring you", and Luo Liya's serious expression. He hurriedly expressed his thoughts, "I definitely won't watch it. Elder sister, don't ignore me …"

There was a sense of grievance in his tone.

Just like a child. She sighed and tiptoed to touch Wu Kong's head. "Well, I won't ignore you."

He was not involved in the mortal world, he was too pure. If she was not by his side, he would definitely have been deceived, he had once saved her life, so taking care of her was his responsibility.

Luo Liya comforted herself by telling herself that her heartbeat just a moment ago was just an illusion.

"Alright, the place right in front of us is the Drunken Wine House. Go back to your room, remember to take good care of Fu Dongming."

Wu Kong really wanted to send Luo Liya directly to the bottom of the bedroom. He wanted to stay with her for a while longer, but since Luo Liya had already said so, he couldn't keep his face straight. He could only lower his head and say goodbye to Luo Liya before turning around and leaving.

Luo Liya looked at Wu Kong's dejected back, sighed inaudibly, and turned back to continue walking.

Wu Kong returned to the Solitary Summit without a single glance. It was very convenient for him to live in a room on the first floor.

As soon as he reached the bedroom, he heard a intake of breath. It was very quiet, but he had heard it clearly since he was a child.

When he opened the door, he saw Fu Dongming lying on the bed. Zi Ruo was sitting on the edge of the bed with her back to the door, so Wu Kong could not see his current expression. However, when he heard Fu Dongming's gasps, he immediately understood.

"What's wrong?" Wu Kong frowned as he walked closer to ask, his face filled with unconcealable concern. Although Luo Liya and Fu Dongming did have some conflicts, after all, they were all companions who had gone through trials and hardships together. Now that he had been bullied, he naturally wouldn't fuss about it to the point of secretly rejoicing.

Fu Dongming and Zi Ruo heard Wu Kong's voice and looked towards the door. Zi Ruo turned around and spoke with a voice as calm as water, "He was poisoned."

Poison? Wu Kong's eyes widened in shock as he hurriedly walked forward and asked, "Who poisoned him? Is it serious? "
