The beast in front of Ye Tian Yun had brownish-purple fur, but that was only on its back.
Its chest was covered by silvery skin, which looked like a rack and seemed pretty tough.
A loud clang echoed throughout the hall as the spear hit the wolf's chest.
"GRRRRRRR!!!"
The beast winced and jumped to the other side.
But as soon as it jumped, it swiped its paws horizontally and slapped the person in the air, throwing her right in Ye Tian Yun's direction!
Ye Tian Yun immediately lowered his body and hid with his back against the wall. He had no plans to reveal himself just yet.
-BOOM!
The person landed on the wall, making it tremble as cracks formed due to the impact.
"Ha.... Hhah...Ha..."
Ye Tian Yun could hear her trying to catch a breath.
He hid and immediately began to look for a new spot to hide.
He knew the beast was about to come here, and the wall was most likely going to be collateral damage in this fight between the person on the other side of the wall and the beast.
"You should save her." Wang Yao said.
"Why?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "This is not an adventure story, and I am not a hero. I haven't even seen the beast carefully enough, and you want me to go and fight it?"
Wang Yao shrugged, "It was just a suggestion. But why don't you make—"
Just then, Ye Tian Yun raised his hand, gesturing him to stop.
And then turned around and stared at the wall with a deep frown.
"What happened?" Wang Yao couldn't help but ask.
"This person... who's on the other side...." Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "Her aura is quite familiar. I don't remember where I have encountered this aura, but it feels familiar."
Wang Yao shook his head, "That's impossible. People who use Hunter Mecha are not cultivators."
"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Then why does she have cultivation?"
"Cultivation?"
"Yes," Ye Tian Yun nodded, "It's the First Level Foundation Establishment Realm, but it's not stable. She most probably had a breakthrough some time ago, most probably while fighting that beast."
Wang Yao pursed his lips, "You should interfere in this fight. This girl is not that powerful, and you can easily eliminate her if she tries anything funny."
Ye Tian Yun thought while rubbing his index finger and thumb of his right hand for a moment.
Just then, Black-yellow lightning sparks flashed between his index finger and thumb.
...
Who was he? She was curious and decided to look more into the matter in her free time. Somewhere in her heart, she truly hoped him to be a transmigrator like her.
Later she even saw him killing a few Xin Royal Clan guards who tried to rob him after he flexed his wealth in the tavern.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the time to observe the young boy for long and had to return to the capital.
A year passed, and with a twist of fate, she was about to get married to the young boy!
Maybe if she didn't find old writings about the strange white gateway in the Gao Clan's ancestral lands, she might not have even come here for her death!
'If he hadn't confirmed the presence of high-tier Spirit Vien, I may not have ever found this place so early.'
The 'he' she was referring to was, of course, the person who was disguised as her fiance and had met her a few months ago in the Gracious Sword Sect at her restaurant.
'Ye Tian Yun...'
She couldn't help but smile as his face flashed in her mind. 'Never thought I would remember someone's face before dying...'
"Grr...."
A sudden growl snapped her back to reality.
Her smile receded as she stared at the beast in front of her.
Burning Wolf King. D Rank Soul Beast.
'I failed....'
Not only was she going to fail to return to Earth, but Ye Tian Yun also didn't know who she really was.
'In a way, it's good that he doesn't know me well... I just have immense curiosity about him... It's better if he never knows who I am.'
'I am sorry, Father... Second Brother... I couldn't avenge the First Brother and Fourth Brother....'
She sighed as the beast pounced on her, ready to tear her into pieces!
But just as it pounced, black-yellow lightning suddenly covered the hall!
'What...'
This sudden change confused her, but before she could react, someone jumped in front of her and slashed at the beast!

///Trivia:
- If you haven't noticed, Gao Suyin saw Ye Tian Yun for the first time when the latter came to the Lower Heavens after rebirth in Butler Liu's disguise and was throwing spirit stones at the people in the room for information about the state of Lower Heavens.
- One thing I want to make clear is that Gao Suyin is inherently a very curious person. And that was the reason why she found out a lot about Ye Tian Yun - first, she looked for Butler Liu's information, and then it wasn't long before she found out about Ye Tian Yun's identity.
- In earlier chapters, it was mentioned that Gao Xuan (Gao Suyin) had successfully escaped from this situation, but in this chapter, we found out that the future has changed and she has entered the dungeon when she was just at the Peak of Tri-Qi Realms. This is why her life fell in danger.
- Another thing to note is the age of Ye Tian Yun - it's similar to Gao Suyin's actual age, which was what made her curious and is the main reason she became curious about him. Gao Suyin herself will explain this further in the future.
