“Go, go, go!”
Although they didn’t know why the cold-hearted and indifferent Foxin was suddenly helping them, since he had stepped in, they couldn’t miss this great opportunity and had to move forward!
Fire serpents were the most dangerous presence within the sea of fire, but now the fire serpents were being trampled underfoot by Foxin, unable to cause any more trouble or danger. Everyone easily made it through.
Standing on a rock, Feng Jiuyuan crouched down and spoke softly to Jing Chen, “This doesn’t seem like something Foxin would do.”
Upon hearing this, Jing Chen instinctively glanced at Huang Quan.
Feng Jiuyuan followed his gaze and immediately felt a pang of frustration.
Why are there so many enemies?
Having a difficult opponent like Di Qin was already enough, and now there was another one, Foxin…
Even though he was the Young Lord of the city, he couldn’t handle both of them at once!
Huang Quan, noticing his gaze, looked down at him and said, “Aren’t you going to move on?”
Feng Jiuyuan replied, “I’m going now.” With that, he grabbed Jing Chen beside him and flew towards the cave entrance.
Jing Chen: “Could you tell me beforehand next time you do something?”
Feng Jiuyuan smiled cheerfully, “No, I can’t.”
Jing Chen: “???”
“You didn’t warn me beforehand when you didn’t help me.”
“Didn’t you say you weren’t angry anymore?”
“Who told you I wasn’t angry?” Feng Jiuyuan said, “When we were at the tower, I refrained from arguing with you for the greater good. Now that we’re inside, just wait to be messed with by me.”
Jing Chen pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.
Now he understood why Feng Jiuyuan had been beaten so much since he was young.
The two entered the cave and disappeared.
Huang Quan looked at Zhong Yu, “Can you make it through?”
Zhong Yu nodded, “Yes.”
“Alright, let’s go.”
“Mhm.” With that, Zhong Yu flew over.
Once Zhong Yu had crossed, the High Priest led Lin Xu and Nangong Qingle across.
After everyone else had left, Huang Quan didn’t rush to go but waited for the others on the rock to pass.
Soon, everyone except Huang Quan had crossed.
Standing on the rock, Huang Quan looked at Foxin on the back of the fire serpent and smiled.
Now that no one else was around, she could confirm…
With this thought, Huang Quan moved and flew off the rock. Instead of heading straight for the cave entrance, she landed on the head of the fire serpent, standing beside Foxin.
Foxin, surprised that she had come over, asked, “Why didn’t you go directly, benefactor?”
Huang Quan looked at him, “There’s something I want to confirm.”
Foxin: “What does the benefactor wish to confirm?”
“Master Foxin, you look very much like someone I know.”
Foxin: “…”
“Benefactor, there are many people who look alike,” Foxin said. “This monk has an ordinary appearance. It’s normal to find someone who looks like me, so please don’t overthink it.”
Ordinary appearance?
What nonsense was that?
How could her Qin Qin possibly have an ordinary appearance!
If Foxin hadn’t treated her so differently, she wouldn’t have suspected that Foxin was Qin Qin. But now… Foxin’s words were clearly telling her that he couldn’t be the person she knew.
Was he really not? Or did Qin Qin not want to be exposed?
In any case, Huang Quan wouldn’t forcibly touch his face to confirm in such a situation.
If he wasn’t, it would be awkward.
If he was, and Qin Qin was refusing, he must have his reasons. Why forcefully expose him?
“Master Foxin is right.” Huang Quan smiled. “I just miss that person too much.”
Foxin’s heart beat a bit faster, but his face remained unchanged, still showing a faint smile.

Huang Quan stared at his face for a while before looking away. “Everyone else has gone; we should leave too.” With that, she moved and flew from the serpent’s head to the cave entrance.
As soon as she entered the cave, Huang Quan disappeared.
After Huang Quan left, Foxin’s faint smile deepened, and he lightly placed his palm on his chest, feeling his heartbeat.
After a while, Foxin left as well.
…
“Hoo…”
Another flash of white light appeared.
Huang Quan stood beside the High Priest and the others, glanced at Foxin, and quickly looked away.
“Huang Quan, can you handle those things?” Feng Jiuyuan asked, looking at the things ahead.
Huang Quan didn’t respond and followed his gaze.
After leaving the sea of fire, they hadn’t escaped danger but had arrived in a vast underground palace.
The underground palace was very spacious, and despite so many people entering, it didn’t feel crowded. Moreover, there were two special statues in front of the palace.
One statue was a beast with wings on its back, roaring with its mouth open, resembling a lion.
The other statue was a person standing on the lion’s back, but the person was quite unusual.
The person had an extra head compared to an average person.
Without the extra head, they would look like a normal person, but with the extra head, they appeared monstrous to those entering the ruins.
Huang Quan wasn’t afraid of these things, but it didn’t mean others weren’t. Almost as soon as they saw the two statues, people started cursing incessantly.
Huang Quan didn’t understand—if they were scared, why curse?
Weren’t they afraid the statues might come to life and kill them?
“Crack…”
A sound rang out.
Huang Quan’s eyelid twitched, and she closed her mouth.
She remembered the day she fell into the abyss…
At that time, she had said, “At worst, I’ll change to another world, another underworld.” And then, she really did.
Now…
Huang Quan raised her eyes to look at the two statues and shouted, “Move back!”
“They’re alive!”
As soon as she said this, those who were approaching the statues immediately retreated.
“Bang!”
As they moved back, the outer layer of the statues fell off, revealing that both the beast and the person were alive!
As soon as the beast came to life, it opened its mouth and roared at the crowd.
The loud roar hurt everyone’s ears!
Compared to the beast, the person standing on its back was even more sinister.
The person, with two heads and four eyes, looked directly at Huang Quan and gave a sinister smile, “You are very special.”
Huang Quan, unafraid of his gaze, smiled back, “You are very ugly.”
If it was just the two heads, Huang Quan wouldn’t have said that. She called him ugly because one of the heads was indeed very ugly, with skin full of protruding blue veins, connected like blue worms crawling all over his face…
“Hehehe…”
Both mouths laughed simultaneously, and the laughter was extremely unpleasant and creepy.
“Your laughter is also very unpleasant.” Huang Quan sighed lightly, “Can you stop laughing?”
The two-headed person looked at Huang Quan with an extremely strange expression.
The next moment, the other head suddenly opened its mouth and spat out something. It was pitch black and flew swiftly toward Huang Quan.
The creepy laughter continued, “You’re dead.”
As the two-headed person finished speaking, a white shadow flashed, and Foxin appeared in front of Huang Quan. He opened his hand, and a Buddha lotus blossomed. The next moment, the pitch-black object was enveloped by the Buddha lotus.
