Fast Travel: After turning into an animal, the villain asked me to be his wife

All around was a vast expanse of empty space shrouded in mist.

The little fox was held in Xie Linyuan's arms, and the two walked through the empty secret realm.

She stretched out her little paw and waved it in front of Xie Wang's eyes, saying with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Why can everything inside the jade pendant work, but the communication artifact that Father gave me can't?"

Xie Wang reached out and patted the little fox's head: "In the secret realm, the first thing to fail is the communication artifact. Secret realms like this, which were used to train clansmen a long time ago, do not allow clansmen to communicate with each other. Even if they enter the secret realm together, they will be assigned to different places by the secret realm."

"I see?" The little fox twitched its ears, clearly worried. "What about my father? What if we encounter a bad fox first?"

She patted Xie Linyuan's chest with her paw: "You can't beat him now! He's so powerful!"

The little fox's worried expression was genuine; its dark eyes looked at Xie Linyuan with concern, just like a human's.

Xie Linyuan's heart tightened at her direct gaze. He lowered his eyes and looked at the little fox's fluffy face: "You think he's very powerful?"

The little fox nodded eagerly: "Yes! He almost strangled me to death. If I hadn't been smart, I'd be a dead fox by now!"

Xie Linyuan frowned upon hearing this, even pursing his lips tightly: "Don't say 'death'."

He had faced too much death and could not imagine that there would be no more chattering little fox by his side.

Yu Zhen didn't think much of it and said to herself, "Even if I don't say it, it's still the truth, isn't it? Xie Linyuan, do you know what our goal is right now?!"

Xie Linyuan continued to look at her: "What is it?"

The little fox tilted its head back, its bushy tail swishing excitedly: "The primary goal, of course, is to survive!"

"I think if we run into a bad fox later, we should sneak away! Don't shoot!"

"If we run into my father later, we'll beat him when he's down! We'll kill that wicked fox!"

"Isn't my idea great?"

As he said this, he puffed out his chest with a hint of pride.

The system, which was silently watching: Has the host forgotten that if she and Xie Linyuan were to encounter that wicked fox, they might not be able to escape at all?

But upon hearing this, Xie Linyuan's heavy heart couldn't help but lighten.

He hesitated for a moment, clearly having the same idea as the system, but he didn't speak, only saying, "Hmm, your idea is very good."

The little fox was even happier upon hearing this.

She seemed to have no idea how terrible it was to have been on the verge of death; she forgot about it as soon as it was over.

Xie Linyuan patted the little fox's head and asked, "Since you know how to enter this secret realm, do you know anything about this place?"

She didn't understand. This place was unlike any other world she had ever seen. Why was it that even though it was a secret realm, it was surrounded by thick fog? If it weren't for the ground beneath her feet, she would have thought that she and Xie Linyuan had ascended to heaven.

Yu Zhen immediately tapped the system: "What else do you know about this secret realm? Let me know quickly!"

System: "Host! This secret realm wasn't described much in the original book. It was the secret realm that Xie Linyuan was pulled into by Qi Shanhen after killing Qi Shanhen, who was already the leader of the Demon Sect at the time."

System: "Of course, now we know that 'Qishanhen' is someone else. However, since Xie Linyuan is a villain, he won't be written in too much detail. What I know is that after 'Qishanhen' dragged Xie Linyuan into the secret realm before he died, Xie Linyuan's cultivation level had increased a lot when he came out of it again."

System: "However, Xie Linyuan has not yet turned evil, and his strength is not as great as it will be later. It's really hard to say what the situation will be like."

In other words, the system no longer has any useful intelligence.

The little fox looked a little disappointed and shook its head sullenly: "I don't know."

To avoid Xie Linyuan's suspicion, she added, "I only learned the incantation for this secret realm by accident. I was just thinking of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it to actually work."

Xie Linyuan hummed in agreement, his gaze fixed intently on the surrounding white mist.

The little fox looked up at him and said, "But what I find a little strange is why we weren't separated by the secret realm?"

Xie Linyuan: "I am human, and I am probably not within the scope of the secret realm trial, but you..."

"Unable to take human form, the level is too low, and it probably hasn't reached the standard."

The little fox was stunned: "So you mean we're all trash?!"

Xie Linyuan coughed lightly: "...That makes some sense."

The little fox was completely dejected.

She may lack skill, but talent is not something she can control.

Hey……

Xie Linyuan could see her resentment and said, "Alright, let's try to get out of here first."

The place they were in was indeed quite mysterious.

The surroundings were empty, as if I had fallen into the clouds, and even the ground beneath my feet was barren.

Only in the thick fog ahead, a faint glimmer of precious light could be seen.

The little fox naturally noticed the strangeness of the place.

She cautiously placed her paw on Xie Linyuan's shoulder, trying to find a way out. After looking for a while, she said dejectedly, "It's over, how are we going to get out of here?"

Xie Linyuan's gaze fell on the precious light deep within the clouds.

"The only thing we can do now is to go and check the source of the light."

"If I'm not mistaken, this should only be the first level."

Yu Zhen had never really understood anything about such a high-level thing as a secret realm, so she could only nod haphazardly: "Okay, whatever you say!"

Xie Linyuan lifted his foot and walked into the depths of the clouds and mist.

He had thought the radiant light was like a mirage, forever lingering before his eyes, but when he actually saw the spiritual pearl floating before him, constantly emitting radiant light, his expression became even more solemn.

The little fox thought the bead was quite pretty, emitting a hazy, iridescent glow that wasn't too dazzling.

Not understanding, he immediately pointed at the bead with his chubby little paw: "Xie Linyuan, what is this? If we grab it, can we get out?"

Xie Linyuan shook his head: "I can only tell that this is a demon's inner core."

“However, what you said makes sense,” Xie Linyuan reached out and touched the floating spirit pearl. “It’s the only one here, so we can only try it out for now.”

As soon as he touched the spirit pearl, a vast surge of spiritual energy erupted from it.

Before Yu Zhen could even suggest that she try it first, she discovered that Xie Linyuan had vanished in an instant.

At the same time, the surrounding clouds and mist were rapidly changing under the pull of spiritual energy.

When she fell to the ground from Xie Linyuan's arms, the surroundings had transformed into a lush forest.

The little fox stepped on the damp mud and was instantly dumbfounded.

Is this the legendary illusion?

She ran quickly through the forest, trying to catch Xie Linyuan's scent with her nose.
