Chen Yu felt his cheeks burning, as if they had been roasted by fire.

The fragrance of Liu Ruyan was still lingering in his nose, making him feel a little distracted.

He secretly glanced at Lin Qingxue and found that she was looking at him with a smile, a hint of teasing in her eyes.

"Ahem," Chen Yu coughed twice, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere. "Well, it's getting late. Let's get out of this damn place."

Liu Ruyan covered her mouth and chuckled: "Little brother, are you shy?"

Chen Yu quickly waved his hands: "No, absolutely not! I just feel that this ghost market is gloomy and eerie, and I feel uncomfortable if I stay there for too long."

Lin Qingxue walked over to Chen Yu and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's find a place to rest first, and then continue our journey tomorrow."

Chen Yuru was pardoned and quickly followed Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan out of the ghost market.

Outside the ghost market is a desolate mountain wilderness. The night wind is howling, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the howling of wild beasts can be heard from time to time in the distance.

The three of them found a sheltered cave, lit a bonfire, and dispelled the coldness around them.

Chen Yu took out some dry food and water from the cloth bag and distributed them to Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan.

"The things in this ghost market look weird and strange. I don't know if they are edible."

Chen Yu picked up a dry piece of bread, hesitated for a moment, and then took a bite.

"It tastes pretty good." Chen Yu said vaguely while chewing the cake.

Lin Qingxue ate her dry food gracefully without saying a word.

Liu Ruyan looked at Chen Yu with great interest, chuckling from time to time.

"Little brother, where did you get that book 'The Guide to Picking Up Girls'?" Liu Ruyan suddenly asked.

Chen Yu almost choked on the biscuit. He quickly drank some water and said, "I bought it from a street stall. It cost me a candy bean."

Liu Ruyan burst out laughing: "A candy bean? You really know how to bargain."

Chen Yu chuckled: "Of course, I am a good man who is frugal and manages the household well."

Lin Qingxue looked at Chen Yu, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

After eating their dry food, the three of them sat around the campfire, chatting about random things.

It was late at night and the mountain wind was getting colder. Chen Yu wrapped his clothes tightly around him and yawned.

"I'm sleepy. Let me take a nap first." After saying that, Chen Yu leaned against the rock wall and closed his eyes.

Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan also found a place to rest.

Chen Yu was half asleep when he felt someone pushing him. He opened his eyes and found that it was already daybreak.

"Chen Yu, wake up, it's time for us to set off." Lin Qingxue's voice sounded in his ears.

Chen Yu rubbed his eyes and got up from the ground.

"Let's go." Chen Yu stretched and said.

The three of them left the cave and continued on their way.

After walking for a while, they came to a dense forest.

The ancient trees in the forest are towering, blocking out the sun. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, creating mottled light and shadows on the ground.

"This forest looks a bit weird." Chen Yu said, looking at the surrounding environment.

Lin Qingxue nodded: "Be careful, it may be dangerous here."

The three of them moved forward cautiously. From time to time, a few unknown birds flew over their heads, making shrill calls.

The forest was filled with a damp smell, and there were thick fallen leaves underfoot, making a rustling sound when stepped on.

Chen Yu felt that the atmosphere around him was a bit depressing, and he subconsciously tightened the wooden sword in his hand.

"It's so quiet in this forest, there's not even the sound of insects. It's really strange," said Chen Yu.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a creaking sound coming from the front.

Chen Yu and the other two immediately became alert. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl wearing a red bellyband and pigtails skipping towards them.

It was none other than the little Lolita who sold the "Guide to Picking Up Girls" to Chen Yu in the ghost market.

The little girl was holding a huge lollipop in her hand, and the pink candy ball was bigger than her face.

She walked up to Chen Yu and smiled sweetly: "Big brother, we meet again!"

Chen Yu looked at the little Loli in front of him and felt a little unbelievable.

How could I meet her again in this desolate place?

"Little sister, why are you here?" Chen Yu asked.

The little girl licked her lollipop, blinked her big eyes and said, "My name is Tangtang. Big brother, you can call me Tangtang from now on. I'm playing here!"

"Play?" Chen Yu looked around. What was fun in this gloomy forest?

"Tangtang, where is your parents?" Lin Qingxue asked with a hint of concern in her tone.

Tangtang shook her head: "I don't have a family, I live here alone."

Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

This little girl looks innocent, but gives people a mysterious feeling.

"Tangtang, aren't you afraid of living here alone?" Chen Yu asked.

Tangtang shook her head and said innocently, "Don't be afraid. The animals in the forest are all my friends."

Chen Yu looked at Tangtang and always felt that she was not like an ordinary little girl.

As if seeing through Chen Yu's thoughts, Tangtang smiled mysteriously: "Big brother, I am not an ordinary little girl."

After saying that, Tangtang licked the lollipop, and her figure flashed and disappeared out of thin air!

Chen Yu rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.

"She, she's gone!" Chen Yu said in surprise, pointing to the place where Tangtang disappeared.

Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan were also surprised. They clearly saw Tangtang standing there, but in the blink of an eye, she disappeared.

"This little girl is a little weird." Lin Qingxue said in a deep voice.

Liu Ruyan nodded: "The aura on her body is very special. I can't sense her cultivation level."

Chen Yu recalled what Tangtang had just said: "I'm not an ordinary little girl."

"What is the origin of this Tangtang?" Chen Yu was full of doubts.

At this moment, a deafening roar of an animal came from the depths of the forest, breaking the tranquility of the forest.

Then the ground began to shake and the trees swayed, as if something huge was approaching.

"Oh no, a big guy is coming!" Chen Yu said with a changed expression.

Lin Qingxue drew his sword and looked around vigilantly: "Everyone be careful!"

Liu Ruyan also put away her smile, gently waving the folding fan in her hand, ready to fight at any time.

A huge black bear rushed out from the woods, its eyes were red and it roared angrily as it rushed towards Chen Yu and the other two.

"It's the black bear demon!" Chen Yu exclaimed.

The black bear demon was over two feet tall, with muscles all over his body and immense strength. It was obvious that he was not going to be easy to deal with.

"I'll deal with it!" Lin Qingxue said, and her figure flashed to meet the black bear demon.

Lin Qingxue waved the sword, the sword light flashed, and sharp sword energy attacked the black bear demon.

The black bear demon waved its huge bear paw to disperse the sword energy, then opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Lin Qingxue.

Lin Qingxue dodged flexibly and engaged in a fierce battle with the black bear demon.

Chen Yu and Liu Ruyan also joined the battle. They attacked the black bear demon from the side, trying to restrain its actions.

However, the black bear demon had thick skin and strong defense, and the attacks of Chen Yu and Liu Ruyan had almost no effect on it.

"This beast is too difficult to deal with!" Chen Yu said as he dodged the black bear's attack.

"We have to think of a way." Liu Ruyan said.

Chen Yu's eyes rolled and he suddenly thought of something. He took out a bottle of chili powder from his cloth bag and sprinkled it into the black bear's eyes.

"Ah!" The black bear demon's eyes were blinded by the chili powder. He let out a scream and waved his bear paws wildly.

Chen Yu took the opportunity to swing the wooden sword and chopped it hard at the black bear demon's nose.

"Ah!" The black bear demon let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground, covering his nose.
