Chapter 799: The Strange Scent

"A’Ying will be fine," Tuzi AoFen responded with a smile.

When Shenlian Yingyue extended her divine perception to survey her surroundings, she was taken aback to find that it could scarcely penetrate beyond a hundred meters. The truth of Fen Fen’s warning became clear—there was no escaping this forest without proper guidance.

Huang Bai Xing, skeptical of malevolent forces, attempted to summon his Shadow Army, yet his efforts proved futile.

"It’s pointless to try to escape," Dongfang Moqing said, his gaze sharp as he reached for the glowing paper crane in his hand.

The crane was a tool of navigation, usually unfaltering in its ability to guide him through the thick fog, intricate tunnels, and misleading illusions. However, in this moment, it too seemed to fail him, unable to locate a path leading out of the forest.

"Come with me, Xiao Yueyue," Tuzi AoFen urged, grasping her wrist as he began to navigate deeper into the forest.

"What about the safety of Uncle Huang and his family?" Shenlian Yingyue questioned during their stroll, her concern directed at Huang Bai Xing.

"That’s not your concern; I have a plan in place for them," Huang Bai Xing replied with a frosty demeanor. His evident disdain for her left the others confused about his attitude toward her.

Shenlian Yingyue felt her lips twitch. At a time like this, he still harbored resentment toward her despite everything they’d endured together? Nonetheless, she had to acknowledge Huang Bai Xing’s skill in turning situations around.

In truth, no one understood the complexities of Huang Bai Xing’s feelings; only he was aware of the turbulence within him.

"And what about you? Where are your family and sister?" Concern evident in her voice, she turned to Dongfang Moqing.

"My sister has long departed from this planet. She’s powerful enough to take care of herself," he responded, a softer tone surfacing when he mentioned her.

Even though they often had disagreements, both siblings relied on each other’s strengths to run their business and accumulate spirit stones.

"As for my subordinates at Crimson Crane Pavilion, they’re well-protected," he assured, having ensured their safety at the first hint of trouble on the horizon.

Shenlian Yingyue nodded in understanding, yet her brow remained furrowed. Taking out a vial of spiritual juice made from grapes, she gulped some while contemplating her next actions.

A subtle vibration from the Ethereal Small World drew her attention, prompting her to retrieve the Red Spider Lily Stone that Diyu had gifted her in the secret realm of Congzhu. Dark red letters swirled into existence, visible only to her.

-I’ve received information that could lead me to my little brother. Once I find him, I’ll come back to you immediately. If you find yourself in danger, break this red stone; it will protect you. I’ve dealt with the enemies on this planet, avenging my family for what they did to my parents and brother. Thank you, Yue’er, for your unwavering support. Our plan was successful, and it wouldn’t have been possible without you—it would have only resulted in chaos.-
