After she entered the book, she just wanted to live with her

The next morning.

When Shen Daixing woke up in a daze, she and the cat were the only ones on the bed. Gu Yuyuan was nowhere to be found. She woke up immediately.

Could it be that she was captured and eaten while she was sleeping?

She jumped out of bed anxiously, making a series of short whimpering meows from her throat. She looked around the room anxiously for someone, and when she found no one, she planned to run to the door.

Gu Yuyuan just pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bowl of hot soup in his hand.

He heard her uneasy voice outside the door. Seeing that she might be unable to find him, the corners of her lips curved slightly: "I went to make you some chicken soup, come and drink it while it's hot."

Shen Daixing's uneasy mood disappeared instantly when she saw him.

She squatted on the table, looking at the delicious chicken soup, hesitant and afraid to drink it: "Where did this chicken come from? This town is a bit strange... This chicken can't be... is..."

"I brought this from the sect and put it in my storage ring. I plan to make it for you on the way."

Shen Daixing felt relieved after hearing what Gu Yuyuan said.

This town is strange. She could vaguely guess that the people in the town might not be alive, so she was worried that the chicken was originally dead and was used by Gu Yuyuan to make soup.

Shen Daixing smelled the aroma of chicken soup and felt a little greedy. "Do you want to drink it with me?"

"No, I've been fasting for a long time."

She almost forgot that he had reached the level of Spiritual Transformation and no longer needed to eat, so she lowered her head and slowly licked the soup bowl. It was so delicious!

Gu Yuyuan sat on a stool and watched her. After seeing that she had eaten her fill, he took out a small handkerchief to wipe her mouth, then held her in his arms. "How did you get into this space?"

Shen Daixing briefly talked about what happened after the fall, omitting the existence of 996.

When she talked about her injured and bleeding foot, she showed him her injured paw with a bit of grievance.

Gu Yuyuan looked at her cutely raising her paw. Although the wound had healed, he lowered his head and gently kissed the pink and tender little pad.

Shen Daixing, who was still chattering, was stunned for a moment, then she retracted her claws and covered her eyes in a daze. If she were a human now, she would definitely be able to see the blush on her face.

She suppressed the panic in her heart, pretended not to care and continued speaking with a serious face.

After she finished talking about the mysterious cave, Gu Yuyuan frowned slightly: "When I came in, it was a dense forest covered with fallen snow. I didn't see the cave you mentioned."

Shen Daixing looked at him puzzledly and asked, "How did you get in? It's possible that your landing point was random. I was thinking of looking for that cave."

Now that she can use the storage bag, she plans to pick all the fruits!

"I directly tore the barrier of this space apart."

Gu Yuyuan said gently, "If you want to go look for it, then we will go look for the cave today."

After hearing this, Shen Daixing's wet eyes were filled with admiration for Gu Yuyuan, and she thought: He is worthy of being Long Aotian.

If one has the ability to tear space apart directly, then one can go to any of the three thousand small worlds, right?

She wagged her tail happily, with a smile in her eyes: "Okay!"

Then Shen Daixing's face fell again and said, "No, we should leave here and go back to the secret realm." She didn't want to look for treasures or anything like that.

Gu Yuyuan patted her little head and said, "It's okay. We still don't know where the exit is. The cave you mentioned might be able to help us find a way out."

"Can't you tear the barrier apart? Tear it again."

"That's because the barrier is right in front of us. When I came in, the barrier returned to its original state. Now we have to find the barrier before we can tear it apart again."

"Is that so? Then let's go find a cave first."

Gu Yuyuan looked at her lovingly and said, "Okay."

After resting for a while and packing up his belongings, Gu Yuyuan took Shen Daixing out.

The town during the day was as prosperous and bustling as Shen Daixing had seen when she arrived, as if nothing had happened, as if the weirdness and horror of last night were all a dream.

As the warm winter sun shone down, she felt a little braver than last night. She looked around curiously and suddenly realized that no one on the road had any shadow. She was so scared that she shrank into Gu Yuyuan's arms.

Gu Yuyuan patted her head soothingly: "What's wrong?"

"He...they have no shadows!"

"Well, everyone in this town is already dead."

Although she had guessed it long ago, Shen Daixing still shuddered: "Aren't you afraid?"

"It's nothing to be afraid of. People who practice Taoism are not afraid of birth, old age, sickness, and death. If they are afraid of something, they may develop inner demons and find it difficult to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven." Gu Yuyuan explained softly.

Shen Daixing suddenly felt that her question was a bit stupid. Gu Yuyuan had been living in this world all his life. All kinds of monsters and ghosts were normal to him. Only she had not fully adapted to this world.

She didn't dare to think about why these people could still live normal lives even though they were dead, and why the town still looked so vibrant. If she had known this was the situation, she would never have come to look for treasure.

Perhaps because he was by her side, Shen Daixing mustered up the courage to look again. She saw the old lady from yesterday again. The old lady happened to be looking at her, nodding and smiling at her kindly.

Her face froze, she didn't dare to react, she just watched silently.

Gu Yuyuan led her out of the town slowly. Not far from the town, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look back at the town.

The town has become desolate and dilapidated, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, and there is no trace of its previous prosperous and bustling appearance.

The town was windy and deserted. A tattered lantern rolled on the street and was blown from the right to the left.

Shen Daixing stared blankly at the dilapidated town, feeling cold all over.

Gu Yuyuan said calmly: "This is its original appearance."

"When I saw the town from the cliff yesterday, it wasn't like this. Why did it change as soon as we came out?"

Gu Yuyuan didn't answer and returned to the town with Shen Daixing in his arms.

Shen Daixing hid in his arms in fear, not daring to ask more questions.

Once we entered the town, it was back to its bustling and lively scene, with people bustling about and hawking their wares.

The man and the cat looked at the scene in front of them without saying a word. After a while, Gu Yuyuan took her out of the town again. Soon the town became dilapidated again.

Gu Yuyuan stopped looking at the town and turned to leave with Shen Daixing in his arms.

He said calmly, "This town seems to be imprisoned by something, and the souls of everyone in the town are trapped inside."

Shen Daixing couldn't help but murmur, "Doesn't that mean I can never reincarnate?"

Gu Yuyuan was silent after hearing this. After a long pause, he said, "Do you know why so many people want to cultivate Taoism and become immortals?"

She asked doubtfully, "Can I live forever?"

Gu Yuyuan patiently explained, "That's right, but not entirely. A long time ago, someone said that there's no reincarnation in this world. Once you're dead, you're dead. There's no afterlife. Once you become an immortal, you'll live as long as the heavens and the earth, and you won't be afraid of death."

Shen Daixing was stunned for a moment and then said, "So that's how it is. Then aren't they very pitiful?"

"Maybe being stuck here isn't such a bad thing. At least I'm still 'alive'."

"Will I never die after becoming an immortal?" In many fairy tales, immortals will also fall. She suddenly became curious about what the world above would be like after she ascended.

"I don't know. In the past few thousand years of Cangxuan Continent, only one person has ascended to heaven."

Shen Daixing remembered that 996 also said that five hundred years ago, a person ascended here and had five spiritual roots.

She asked curiously, "What is the name of the person who ascended?"

"I don't know. I only know that he is a free cultivator without any sect or faction, and people call him 'Juechen Immortal Venerable'."

"But a five-spiritual root?"

"No one knows what his spiritual roots are. Do you know he has five spiritual roots?"

Shen Daixing laughed and said, "I...I was just guessing."

Gu Yuyuan saw that she was hiding a secret and didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any further questions. He held her in his arms and searched for the cave in the forest.

Shen Daixing was a little depressed. The original book didn't seem to mention the existence of such an immortal. The story was basically about the male protagonist passing levels and upgrading, and finally becoming an immortal.

How did 996 know this? If it were here, we could ask it.
