In the empty and silent underground river, only the sound of rushing water echoes.

However, at a certain moment, a sharp scream suddenly broke the silence of the dark river, and the little fish that were originally leisurely swimming on the surface of the river suddenly hid at the bottom of the river.

And just at the moment they hid, a heavy object fell into the water with a "plop" and accompanied by a "ouch".

Xiao Yuer quickly lowered his head, spitting bubbles and quietly observing this uninvited guest.

"Ahem, my God, it's so cold." Gu Ning dived out of the river and shivered as he walked towards the riverbank. "Where is this?"

After climbing up the river bank, Gu Ning noticed the surrounding environment and blinked in surprise.

The red flowers swayed quietly in the wind, spreading across both sides of the river.

Large patches of red sound like a mournful funeral song.

The flower was funnel-shaped, with petals that were bright and delicate red. There were deep and shallow textures winding outward along the petals, which at first glance looked like bloodstains.

But I only see the flowers blooming, not the leaves.

In this dark environment, only small insects with flashing fireflies are flying among the flowers. They fly up and down, illuminating the dark river with their tiny lights.

"A flower blooms for a thousand years and falls for a thousand years. Flowers bloom and leaves fall, but flowers and leaves never meet."

The more he talked, the clearer the answer became in his mind. Gu Ning couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his arms. "Isn't this the red spider lily?"

The red spider lily is born in the underworld and grows by the bank of the Forgetful River. Does this mean that all the myths about it are real?

After talking to himself, Gu Ning shrank his body and looked around, but did not see Xiaoqing.

"Xiaoqing?" Gu Ning called softly, fearing that it would attract some unknown creatures.

In her current weak state, she cannot defeat any creature.

"Gulu gulu..."

As Gu Ning finished her words, a noise came from the dark river. She subconsciously took a few steps back, only to see a small green snake swimming towards her quickly, revealing two familiar horns.

"Xiaoqing, where have you been!"

Gu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. This unfamiliar and eerie place really scared her.

Xiao Qing climbed onto Gu Ning's wrist again, and seeing Gu Ning's disappointing look, she sneered, "What are you afraid of? This is my hometown."

"Your hometown?!" Gu Ning's eyes widened in shock. "Are you kidding me?"

Xiao Qing lowered her head and bit Gu Ning lightly before reluctantly explaining, "Yes, I was born in Wangchuan. What do you think?"

Gu Ning shook his head like a rattle, "No opinion, what opinion can I have?"

It turned out to be Wangchuan. Isn’t this a world of cultivating immortals? How did it become a world of immortal heroes?

Xiaoqing looked at the red spider lilies on both sides of the river with a nostalgic look and sighed, "After so many years, this place has not changed at all. It's still so desolate."

Gu Ning pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, and could only shrink his neck like a quail.

"Gu Ning." Xiao Qing didn't expect Gu Ning to say anything. After she finished her sigh, she moved her horns towards Wangchuan and said, "You go down and take a bath too."

"No no no..."

Xiao Qing glared at Gu Ning in dismay, "The water in Wangchuan is extremely cold, which will be of great benefit to your ice spirit root. Are you sure you don't want to go down?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another "plop" sound, and the fish in the Wangchuan River were blown to pieces and fled in all directions in an instant.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Gu Ning popped his head out of the Wangchuan River. His teeth were chattering from the cold, but he still chattered. "If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have gone up."

Xiao Qing covered her face with her two small paws, not wanting to see Gu Ning's shameless behavior of "not releasing the eagle until the rabbit is seen", and said sullenly, "You can soak for as long as you want. We'll talk after you're done."

Gu Ning nodded tremblingly, "Can I... make a golden elixir?"

Xiao Qing was so angry that she laughed, "Gu Ning, can you take it step by step?"

Gu Ning shook his head, "The wolf leader outside is at least in the Nascent Soul stage."

Fighting against a person in the Foundation Establishment Stage during the Nascent Soul Stage, isn't that just delivering food to others?

Xiao Qing fell silent. How come all these rookies are so incompetent? Back then...

Forget it, it doesn’t want to think about the past. Now it is a rat snake itself and can’t even maintain its dragon body. How can it have the face to talk about these cubs?

"Wow, it's too cold." Gu Ning was shivering from the cold, his teeth chattering. "Xiao Qing... talk to me, I'm going to pass out."

Xiao Qing looked at Gu Ning, whose face was pale, and finally softened her heart. "Don't worry, Wangchuan will not hurt you. The Green Charm Goddess is also practicing here... Hey, Gu Ning!"

Before it could finish, Gu Ning's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

"Quick, get her up!"

Xiao Qing jumped into the water and tried to drag Gu Ning ashore. Unfortunately, it was so small that it was not even as big as Gu Ning's arm. After struggling for a long time, Gu Ning choked on the water several times. He then quickly asked the fish in the Wangchuan River for help.

The little fishes looked at Gu Ning curiously, but they were very familiar with and in awe of Xiao Qing, so they swam hurriedly to Gu Ning's side and worked together to push Gu Ning to the shore.

In a daze, Gu Ning seemed to hear some subtle discussions.

"Wow, this goddess is so weak. She fainted after soaking in the River of Oblivion for a while."

Goddess, what goddess?

"You have to know that she is just a cub, barely a teenager. How can she be compared to a true goddess?"

Cub, who is the cub?

"Yes, the gods have fallen, and now there are no more goddesses."

"Yes, she is just a little girl..."

……

So many voices echoed in Gu Ning's ears. She wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn't, as if there was a veil blocking her eyes.

"Gu Ning, wake up!"

"Gu Ning, wake up!"

The cold little thing hit his face, and Gu Ning slowly opened his eyes, and saw Xiao Qing hovering over his face, pressing his cheeks with its two horns.

"Well…"

"You're awake!" Seeing Gu Ning's eyes wide open, Xiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were going to die."

Gu Ning closed his eyes, swallowed hard, then waved his hand and swept Xiao Qing to the ground with a "bang".

"Don't...get so close to me."

Xiaoqing was stunned by the fall. She sat on the ground and heard Gu Ning continue to utter a few words with difficulty.

"I'm...scared."

Xiaoqing:......

A good-for-nothing guy!

After being angry for a long time and seeing no movement from Gu Ning, Xiao Qing simply jumped onto Gu Ning's wrist and put the bracelet on him.

"When you wake up, go forward. There is something ahead that can kill the wolf leader."

Gu Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay, okay."
