Female lead: No, it's me again??

Hua Zier seemed to be deep in thought, then revealed a charming and alluring smile, "Since our Grand Elder has come to a conclusion, how about we split up and pursue them?"

"Maybe we can find out the direction the thief escaped in."

Before those old fogies arrive, her chances of succeeding are much greater, aren't they?

Thinking this, Hua Zier took out a white jade compass, and the pointer spun wildly to her left front. Hua Zier narrowed her eyes and chased after it.

They run pretty fast.

The others were not to be outdone, transforming into streaks of light and scattering in all directions.

After a moment, Feng Siyue breathed a sigh of relief.

The feeling of being completely exposed made her heart leap into her throat.

Especially when the woman ran towards her, Feng Siyue almost thought she had been discovered!

It seems I can't stay in the Thorn Demon Forest anytime soon.

If Ah Li wakes up and sees her unconscious, she will most likely go to find a doctor. But she hasn't left the Thorn Demon Forest alone these past few days. How could she find her way out?

"Feng Siyue?"

"Great, you're okay!"

Xuan Li's excited voice came from behind. Before Feng Siyue could turn around, someone grabbed her by the neck from behind.

Feng Siyue: "..."

Xuan Li's appearance caused many gasps to be heard around him.

"Whose daughter is this? She's so beautiful!"

"I don't know, I think she's even prettier than Lu Rong, the ice queen of the Taiqing Sword Sect!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. I heard that Lu Rong is also training in the Thorn Demon Forest. Maybe she's nearby?"

“I just saw her hunting down a swarm of spirit-stealing rats on the outskirts, and I reckon she’ll be attracted by the commotion.”

Sure enough, not long after, a group of men and women dressed in black sect uniforms walked from Feng Siyue's left.

The woman at the head of the group carried a long sword, her long black hair was tied high behind her head, and her black and white Taoist skirt was clearly layered.

The cinched waist design accentuated the woman's slender figure. Her fair, smooth face was filled with indifference. Her dark eyes glanced around before she turned and left with her sect disciples.

As she turned around, her gaze inadvertently fell on Xuan Li, who was embracing Feng Siyue. His beautiful face was more dazzling than the sun when he smiled.

When did such a beauty emerge from Qinghe Luozhou?

It seems that Hua Xuan's information is unreliable.

"Ah Li, let go of me, I can't breathe..."

Feng Siyue's face turned red. Where did she learn to use a chokehold?

Xuan Li hurriedly let go of her hand, saying apologetically, "Ah, sorry... I got a little excited..."

Feng Siyue clutched her neck and gasped for breath before asking, "Ah Li, where did you go?"

"When I woke up, I couldn't wake you, so I thought I'd see if there was anyone nearby who knew medicine. But I hadn't gone far when I saw this golden light suddenly appear. I thought something had happened to you!"

"Scared me!"

"Thank goodness you're alright!"

Xuan Li patted his chest, still shaken.

Thank goodness, nothing bad happened.

"Wow~ I have to say, Contractor, your friend is really good-looking!"

Inside the space, Qingqing, who was constantly observing the situation outside, had a suspicious object stuck in the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were shining brightly, like hearts.

Feng Siyue's lips twitched slightly. "You're drooling."

Qingqing wiped her mouth nonchalantly. "It's none of your business. Contractor, could you please ask your friend if they've entered into a marriage agreement?"

Feng Siyue asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do?"

Qingqing huddled her wings together shyly in front of her, her voice bashful, "If not, could you ask her to wait for me, until I grow up and propose to her?"

My mother said that if you meet someone you like, you should take the initiative; if you hesitate, your wife will be snatched away.

You'll have nowhere to cry when the time comes.

Feng Siyue: "..."

She pretended not to hear and pulled Xuan Li away from the Thorn Demon Forest, saying, "Let's go, let's go somewhere else."

"why?"

“I recognize most of the herbs around here, so I definitely need to find another place.”

She can't exactly say she contracted a divine beast and was afraid of being hunted down, can she?

Xuan Liming came over and said, "Yes, let's go then."

Inside the space, Qingqing was still chattering away, "Hey, hey, contractor, answer me!"

"My happiness can't fly away!"

Feng Siyue pretended not to hear anything.

They chose a deserted cave as their new home.

There are quite a few such caves in the surrounding area.

After some preparation, it was already dark outside.

After Xuan Li fell asleep, Feng Siyue, who had been meditating, opened her eyes and asked Qingqing through the contract, "Qingqing, since the Heavenly Heart Ring is a life space, can I, as the contractor, enter it?"

"The Heavenly Heart Ring is a living space that exists independently of the Illusionary Universe Continent, so as a contractor, you can naturally enter it."

"Moreover, the cultivation flow rate here is different from that outside. The flow rate inside the ring is about one-third of that outside."

"That means if you stay here for three hours, only one hour will have passed outside. The spiritual energy is abundant, which is also very beneficial to the growth of plants."

In other words, she can go in and cultivate?

Moreover, practicing for one night can yield three times the effect, so why not?

He immediately slipped into the space to cultivate.

Seeing Feng Siyue close her eyes, Qingqing quietly slipped out of the space, squatted on the stone bed where Xuan Li was sleeping, and slowly approached her face.

The woman's bright face gained a touch of gentleness after falling asleep, which Qingqing stared at intently.

Wow! It looks so good!

It stealthily stretched out its wing and touched the woman's cheek, but before it could even touch her, it blushed and backed away.

"No, no, you have to be polite!"

My mother said that one should not be rude to women.

The little guy squatted beside him, gazing at him with a lovesick expression all night.

When Feng Siyue came out of the space in the early morning, she saw Qingqing lying sprawled on the ground next to the stone bed.
