When Lin Anlan saw Su Yang and his group appear in front of her, she was stunned. She did not expect that Su Yang had not left. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had only heard a woman's voice and had not heard Su Yang speak.

Butterfly stepped forward, circled Lin Anlan twice, and said as she looked at her, "You are a beautiful girl, but unfortunately there is no place for demons in this world. I'm sure you understand this better than I do."

Lin Anlan didn't speak, her eyes fixed on Su Yang. She felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him somewhere before. This familiarity made Lin Anlan stop in her tracks, constantly searching her mind for Su Yang's face.

Seeing that Lin Anlan remained silent, Die'er spoke up again: "Oh, have you forgotten your savior so quickly? Hey, just now when I saw you tearfully collecting your companion's body, I thought you were a very loyal and righteous person."

Su Yang had to admit that Die'er's words were too sharp, and only Ling Long's cold and indifferent attitude could keep her in check. Most people would have been driven crazy long ago.

Lin Anlan was indeed angry after hearing Die'er's words. Even though she tried her best to suppress her anger, Su Yang could still feel her rage from her clenched fists.

He quickly pulled Die'er aside, stopping her from continuing her mockery. Su Yang apologized to Lin Anlan somewhat awkwardly, and said in a low, stammering voice, "No, I'm sorry, that's just how she is. I hope, I hope you don't mind."

Hearing Su Yang's words and sensing no hostility, Lin Anlan gradually lowered her guard and asked Su Yang, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

Su Yang didn't know how to answer, so he pointed to his head and said, "I think it was in your dream."

Lin Anlan was stunned, unsure whether she had misheard or Su Yang had a problem with his brain. Seeing Lin Anlan's puzzled expression, Su Yang continued, "I don't know how to describe it. To be precise, our first meeting was in this cave."

At this point, Die'er couldn't take it anymore. She pushed Su Yang away and said in rapid succession, "He's the one outside the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, he's the one inside the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, and he's the one who entered the spiritual world to stop you from becoming completely demonized. Now you understand, right?"

After listening, Lin Anlan recalled everything that had happened since entering Wanji Mountain, the mysterious people who frequently approached her inside and outside the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts but never showed themselves, and the nightmare she had after her demonic transformation failed. She suddenly realized, "It was you? You saved me? Demonic transformation after a mental breakdown is almost incurable, and one can only completely transform into a demon. How did you manage to do that?"

At this moment, Lin Anlan seemed to have countless questions: "Although I don't know who you are, I was so hostile towards you in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, so why did you save me? What is your purpose?" One question after another bombarded Su Yang's head, making him feel dizzy. He was not good at communicating with people to begin with, and now he didn't know where to start explaining. Fortunately, there was Die'er. Die'er took over the conversation: "What's wrong with you? Is this how you treat your savior? If it weren't for the fact that you have some strength, who would bother to save you? If I had known you were so troublesome, I wouldn't have saved you."

After saying that, Die'er pulled Su Yang as if to leave.

"Please wait!" Lin Anlan said anxiously, "I am not an ungrateful person, but I don't know the whole story. Can you tell me what happened after I fainted?"

Die'er didn't want to say anything more, but Su Yang whispered in her ear several times, so she reluctantly spoke up: "We originally intended to catch some fish in the stream in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts. We met you while resting on the way, but we hid. Later, I persuaded him to follow you to see what you were up to. We followed you all the way to the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, but you discovered us again. Later on the way, we met two siblings who were also following you. Moreover, you had already been drugged with beast-attracting powder. Those two siblings were sent by Yin Tianbao to assassinate you. That's why you encountered so many ferocious beasts. So we changed our approach and followed the two siblings. We followed them here and witnessed your demonization after your failure to defeat the Rock-Beast. After you fainted, I had Su Yang take the opportunity to rescue you and use a secret technique to enter your mental world to save you. However, your remaining team members were no match for the Rock-Beast. Then Yin Tianbao and another pair of black-robed men appeared, followed by a chaotic battle, and then we ended up in this situation."

Die'er told Lin Anlan the whole story, but concealed her motive for persuading Su Yang to follow them and seize the opportunity.

Lin Anlan nodded: "I understand. Your name is Su Yang?"

Su Yang nodded and replied briefly, "Yes."

Lin Anlan extended her hand: "My name is Lin Anlan. Thank you for saving me." Looking at Lin Anlan's outstretched hand, Su Yang hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and shook it.

Seeing that Su Yang was still in the same deadpan state, Die'er simply took over the role of talking for him: "What are you going to do next? Yin Tianbao killed your teammates, and the two siblings also escaped. Now you don't belong to any adventurer team anymore, so why don't you come with us?"

Lin Anlan fell into thought. Yes, without her teammates, where could she go? Back to the Heavenly Fortune Empire? But that wasn't her home. At that moment, Lin Anlan felt a sense of vastness and helplessness, as if she had nowhere to call home. Seeing Lin Anlan's expression, Die'er knew there was hope. Based on her judgment, this girl dared to lead an Orange-level team to challenge the Rock-Bladed Beast, so she must be very eager for strength and have a strong personality. She definitely wouldn't want to compromise herself. In that case, she should offer a sufficiently tempting offer to make her willingly join.

Then Die'er said, "There are many benefits to coming with us. I won't go into the others, but you probably don't have a spirit beast yet. We can give you a Rock Beast egg. And once your strength improves further, you can form a new adventurer team with Su Yang. What do you think?"

Lin Anlan was feeling sentimental, but after hearing the price offered by Die'er, it was hard not to be tempted. The reason she came to hunt the Rock Beast was to improve her strength so that she could take revenge in the future. However, she knew nothing about Su Yang. If she just went with him like this, what if he would cheat her like Yin Tianbao did? He said he would give her the Rock Beast's egg, but whether he would actually give it to her was another matter.

Su Yang was a rather sensitive person. Although he wasn't good at dealing with people, he could easily see through a person's emotional changes. At this moment, Lin Anlan gave Su Yang the feeling of distrust and inner turmoil. So Su Yang put down his backpack, took out the Rock Beast egg from it, walked up to Lin Anlan, and said:

"Here, this egg is now yours. I hope you can raise it well. Whether you come with me or not is up to you. After all, you spent a lot of effort to defeat this Rock-Beast." With that, Su Yang handed the egg over with both hands, quietly looking at Lin Anlan, waiting for her to come forward and take it.

Seeing Su Yang's actions, Lin Anlan was quite surprised. She hadn't expected Su Yang to be willing to hand over the egg directly to her. She sighed silently and said, "Should I say you're naive, or what...?"

"I can't accept the eggs, but I'm willing to go with you." As if she had made up her mind, Lin Anlan said firmly.

Su Yang smiled and put the egg back in his backpack: "In that case, I'll carry the egg for you and give it back to you when we get back. Let's go."
