Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Go Ahead and Pluck, Wherever You Want

Shen Yue listened, then said, "We’re trying to find an exit, not go back to where you came in. This is a bottomless abyss. Even if we managed to return to the deep pool you fell into, we’d have no way of getting back to the surface."

Mu Silin had to agree.

"But this place is so vast, we can’t even find an edge. How are we supposed to find an exit?"

Shen Yue’s gaze deepened. ’This place doesn’t feel like a natural labyrinth,’ she thought. ’It seems to be shrouded in a faint, mysterious aura.’

Besides, the ground beneath that great tree had suddenly split open, dropping them through a fissure before quickly sealing itself shut again.

She felt this wasn’t a simple matter of geological shifting. It was more like some kind of power was at play.

But down here in this bottomless abyss, there wasn’t just a labyrinth of passages, but also Mutated Lizards that couldn’t bear the light.

She felt there had to be a reason for their existence.

So, if there was a way in, there must be a way out.

Her train of thought shifted, and she turned to Bai Chaosi, who was also lost in thought.

"Fox, your turn."

Hearing her call him Fox, a faint smile graced Bai Chaosi’s gentle features.

Then, with a hint of provocation in his eyes, he glanced back at Mu Silin.

"When I fell, I landed on a cliff face above a swamp. I was delayed there for a while, then found a cave entrance on the cliff. I followed the passage for about half an hour and ended up where we just met."

Shen Yue listened. The Fox had walked through the passage for half an hour, while the Leopard had walked for a full hour.

This implicitly meant that the Fox had been delayed at the swamp for half an hour.

’Could he have encountered something in the swamp?’

Mu Silin thought of this as well and blurted out,

"What took you so long? Don’t tell me you fell into the swamp and couldn’t get out?"

Bai Chaosi heard him but ignored Mu Silin.

His aristocratic face showed no hint of emotion. His voice was cool and clear as he continued,

"I’m afraid we can’t go back through that passage. I collapsed the entrance and sealed it on my way here."

At this, Mu Silin exclaimed,

"Collapsed and sealed it? You must have run into something, didn’t you?"

Shen Yue listened, studying Bai Chaosi closely. His posture was perfect, and she couldn’t see any signs of injury on him.

’But for someone with his skills to be delayed for half an hour, and to go so far as to seal the entrance behind him... he must have run into something incredibly dangerous.’

Shen Yue could see he had no intention of elaborating, so she didn’t press the issue.

She nodded.

"Right. We don’t need to go back to the swamp where you fell. We’re not backtracking."

With that, she made a judgment based on the three different environments they had fallen into.

Then she looked at Mu Silin.

"Let me borrow a piece of your fur."

Mu Silin: "??? What?"

"Fur. The softest, finest strand you have. I only need one."

Mu Silin had no idea what she was planning.

But he could only glance obediently at Shen Yue, then at Bai Chaosi.

Then, right in front of them, he transformed into his beast form.

His fur was jet-black and glossy, his limbs powerful, his body immense. He looked absolutely majestic.

His Leopard face was strikingly handsome, and his dark green, beastly eyes radiated resolve and cold pride.

Shen Yue was instantly mesmerized!

’What a big, handsome Leopard.’

’I can’t believe it. I asked him for a strand of fur, and he just obediently transformed...’

’I can even imagine what Er Bao will look like when he grows up!’

Bai Chaosi was taken aback as well.

After all, an adult male would never voluntarily reveal his beast form to others.

For a male, displaying one’s beast form was, without a doubt, a matter of shame.

It was equivalent to exposing one’s childhood self and truest nature.

’It seems this Leopard, despite being the Great General of the Black Panther Royal Family and looking so imposing, is willing to show his beast form to Shen Yue right in front of me.’

’He truly has feelings for her.’

Mu Silin was a bit embarrassed, but for some reason, he was willing to do anything Shen Yue asked.

He walked up to Shen Yue and twitched his ears, looking both fierce and adorable.

He spoke:

"Go ahead, pluck one from wherever you want!"

Shen Yue’s eyes lit up as she looked at the big, fluffy head presented to her.

She had a natural weakness for fluffy things.

She raised a hand and placed it on his head, almost involuntarily.

Her hand moved on its own, stroking him a couple of times.

They were instantly intrigued. Why hadn’t they thought of this before? 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
