The center of this small world is the suspension building on the lake. Feng Youyue hugged Yun Mo and opened the entrance of the Void Tunnel in the way he said.
"Little guy, you can wait a bit longer. My body will recover in just a few days." Yun Mo was still worried.
"How many days?" Feng Youyue's movements paused, her clear eyes falling on him, "Five days? Or ten days?"
Yun Mo was silent, his cultivation method, every time this situation occurred, there was no fixed time limit. Maybe tomorrow, maybe five days, or it could be ten days.
Feng Youyue's red lips pursed, "Yun Mo, I don't have much time left. The Grand Tournament is just around the corner, and Fatso is still waiting for me outside. If I miss this opportunity, my grandfather will no longer have a foothold in the Feng family!"
"Naturally, you and I have no relation, I shouldn't bring you along on this adventure. If you're unwilling, I'll leave you here. With your cultivation, going hungry for a dozen or so days isn't a problem. But I must leave immediately!"
She must leave! Fatzi is waiting for her outside, and there's always a risk of danger. Feng Jia, her grandfather, Fourth Uncle, are all worried about her safety. The Fifth Great Competition is approaching, the imperial family and other aristocratic families are eyeing them covetously, she can't let Grandfather face it alone!
Indeed, she can wait. Wait for a while and leave safely. But by then, the five-year grand comparison would have been missed, and her grandfather would become the target of public criticism in the Feng family!
This is what she least wants to see!
In her past life, every step Feng You took was forged from the blood and bones of life and death. In this lifetime, Feng You would still not place her hopes on others!
Yun Mo was silent, quietly gazing at those clear and transparent eyes, his mouth slowly curving into a sly smile.
"Alright, since it's come to this, I'll die with you then."
"Feng Youyue paused for a moment, 'You...'"
"A young woman still has such courage, what am I afraid of? However, my current physical condition will require more trouble and care from you on this journey." Yun Mo smiled, with a thousand sparkling lights in her ink-like eyes.
Phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly, and then, her two eyes curved into a smile, a bright and gentle laugh escaped.
"You rascal, you're much more pleasing to the eye than before! Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I'll definitely protect you completely!"
Suddenly, Yun Mochen's heart skipped a beat. Protecting you completely... this feeling of being protected, seems to be not bad at all.
……
The entrance of the void tunnel has been opened, Feng Youyue is holding Yun Mo, and steps in without hesitation.
The entrance closed rapidly the moment the two entered. This path can only be walked forward, and cannot be retreated!
Unlike Feng You Yue's imagination, the Void Tunnel was not that mysterious. It looked like just an ordinary mountain cave tunnel.
The tunnel was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. The surroundings were eerily silent, with only the sound of two people's breathing and heartbeat.
When people are in a situation where they can't see, their other senses become more acute. Feng Youyue could feel the numbness of the cold wind brushing against her skin and the terror that seemed to be about to engulf everything in the darkness.
She clutched Cloud Drifter tightly in her arms and walked forward.
Everything seems calm, but she knows that all of this is a sign of an impending storm.
The two of them walked for about half a time, and Feng Youyue stopped in her tracks.
"Take a rest." She put down Yun Mo and freed up her hand to conjure a flame, illuminating the surroundings.
The dark cave was empty, with nothing in sight. Strange rocks jutted out, and the path was deep and secluded. Feng You sat down somewhere, panting slightly.
"I don't know how much longer I can keep going." she muttered.
"It's almost time." Yun Mo's voice sounded in the darkness, and the faint light of the fire illuminated his face, his bright black eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief under the firelight. "If I'm not mistaken, the road ahead won't be smooth sailing."
Suddenly, strange changes occurred——
"Roar——!"
A deafening roar came from afar, shaking the earth! Immediately, the dull footsteps "Boom Boom Boom" approached from a distance. The entire cave began to shake along with it.
The strange rocks on the top of the cave were shaken off and fell down with a loud crash, hitting the two people.
"Damn it! You jinx!" Feng Youyue hastily stood up, gritting her teeth as she spoke. At the same time, she didn't forget to move Yun Mochen to a safe place.
In the corridor, the roar grew louder and the footsteps drew closer.
A tall and dark figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
Feng Youyue's eyes slowly widened, and she took a cold breath.
Damn it...... Screwed up!
