Upon hearing this, Linglong looked at Su Yang's palm and said, "There are no tears. Anyway, Master, thank you."

"Oh, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I might still be that ignorant human being." Su Yang didn't care about the tears and looked at the corpses lying haphazardly on the ground outside the window. He said, "Let's go. We can't live here anymore. Let's leave under the cover of night."

The two then went downstairs. Just then, Die'er finished answering all of Lin Anlan's questions. Seeing that the two were silent, Su Yang could roughly guess that Die'er had told Lin Anlan all her secrets, so he said, "We have to leave here. These soldiers should be the garrison of Bailu City. They've been fighting fiercely lately, and someone might come looking for them tomorrow morning."

Then he looked at Lin Anlan and said, "Anlan, are you still willing to come with us?" Su Yang felt that his identity as a person from another world might make Lin Anlan uneasy, especially since he had deceived her before. Perhaps she would not be willing to come with him anymore.

Lin Anlan didn't speak, but silently got up and walked towards the second floor. After watching her figure disappear at the end of the stairs, Su Yang silently packed up, had Die'er and Linglong dematerialize and return to their rings, packed some dried meat, clothes, and essentials like Mora into his bag, then put Xiao Ju into his bag, slung his backpack over his shoulder, picked up an oilcloth umbrella, went to the Icewing Hound's den, opened the small door of the den and let them out, saying, "I have to go, you can go back to live in the forest."

Three Icewing Hounds surrounded Su Yang, whimpering, seemingly unwilling to leave him. Seeing this, Su Yang went back inside and found three ropes. He squatted down inside and said, "If you don't want to leave, then come to me one by one, put on the leash, and come with me." Sure enough, the three Icewing Hounds came to Su Yang one by one and let him put on the leash.

After tidying up, Su Yang walked to the door, glanced back at the stairs, and, not seeing Lin Anlan, turned around, opened his oilcloth umbrella, and stepped into the rain to leave.

After taking only a dozen or so steps, Lin Anlan's slightly weak voice came from behind: "Aren't you going to take me with you?"

Su Yang turned around and saw Lin Anlan standing at the door, carrying a bag on her back and holding the Brand Rock Beast egg in her hands. She was leaning against the door frame, panting heavily. Her new injuries from tonight made her move slowly. She had gone upstairs to pack her luggage and heard Su Yang packing downstairs. She thought Su Yang would be waiting for her, but when she heard Su Yang opening his oilcloth umbrella, she panicked and rushed downstairs. She couldn't find Su Yang anymore. She struggled to the door and saw Su Yang walking towards the farm gate.

When Su Yang saw Lin Anlan, he jogged back. Before he could explain at the door, Lin Anlan said resentfully, "Are you going to abandon me?"

"No," Su Yang said somewhat embarrassedly, "I thought you..."

"I just got injured tonight. Are you going to make me carry such a heavy bag all the time?" Lin Anlan didn't give Su Yang a chance to explain. After learning all of Su Yang's secrets, Lin Anlan's first reaction was that Su Yang was just like her, or even more lonely.

Su Yang looked behind her, then went around to take her backpack, opened it and glanced at it. It contained some clothes and the like. He then took off his own backpack, picked up Xiao Ju, pressed his own luggage down, stuffed Lin Anlan's small bag inside, put his backpack back on, let Xiao Ju jump onto his head and lie on it, before saying to Lin Anlan, "Let's go."

After saying that, Su Yang was about to leave when Lin Anlan grabbed him and said, "I'm still carrying such a big egg, how can I hold an umbrella?"

"Uh, then, I'll carry you."

"If you're holding it, how are you going to hold the umbrella?"

Su Yang was at a loss for what to do, but Lin Anlan laughed and said, "You hold me, and I'll hold the egg and hold an umbrella for you." She then gestured for Su Yang to hug her. Seeing that this was the only option, Su Yang went over and picked up Lin Anlan and the egg in one go. However, the egg was so big that it blocked Su Yang's view. Seeing this, Su Yang didn't know whether to continue holding her or put her down. Lin Anlan also felt quite helpless, touching the egg and muttering, "Egg, oh egg, if only you were smaller."

Perhaps it was because they had spent so much time together, but the egg in Lin Anlan's arms trembled slightly after hearing her murmur, and then shrank several sizes. Su Yang and Lin Anlan were both amazed, but there was no time to delay any longer. Lin Anlan opened the oilcloth umbrella in Su Yang's arms and said, "We can set off now."

So, the two of them, holding up their oilcloth umbrellas, left the Hidden Farm, passing over the corpses scattered on the ground and through the fields, heading towards Bailu City.

Neither of them spoke on the way, as if they had reached a tacit understanding. Finally, Lin Anlan couldn't help but call out softly, "Su Yang."

"What's wrong?" Su Yang looked down at Lin Anlan in his arms.

Little Orange, who had been perched on Su Yang's head, had somehow snuggled into Lin Anlan's arms and fallen asleep. "Haven't you felt lonely these past few years?"

“Sometimes, but I’m not good at interacting with people. I’m often alone, so I’ve gotten used to loneliness.” Hearing Su Yang’s answer, Lin Anlan felt a little lost, but Su Yang continued, “But you are the first human friend I’ve made in this world. It’s a strange feeling. It’s like I’ve never felt lonely again.”

After hearing this, Lin Anlan buried her head in Su Yang's arms and stopped talking. Su Yang was a little puzzled, only feeling that Lin Anlan was even closer to him. He looked down, but the night was so dark that he couldn't see her clearly in his arms.

The two quickly arrived near Bailu City. From a distance, they could see that the city tower and the camp outside the city gate were brightly lit, with patrolling soldiers entering from time to time. The sentries on the city wall were also constantly watching the surroundings. Su Yang's experience from various ancient costume dramas in his original world told him that this was not a good time to enter the city, but he quickly realized that he could just use elemental power.

Thinking of this, Su Yang said to Lin Anlan, "I'm going to use my elemental power to hide this egg first, and then we'll sneak into the city. I see that the soldiers guarding the city and the soldiers in the military camp outside the city are all wearing the same clothes. I'm afraid that Bailu City is already dominated by one country. It will be difficult for us to enter openly."

After speaking, Su Yang put Lin Anlan down, then placed his hand on the egg and activated his mist elemental power. As a cloud of mist billowed out, the egg quickly became invisible; only Lin Anlan could feel its weight. Immediately afterward, Su Yang softly said, "Disperse." A thick fog instantly gathered around them, drifting out from the forest and slowly enveloping the entire Bailu City. Under the cover of the fog, Su Yang and Lin Anlan approached the city gate, and during a brief change of guards inside and outside the gate, they slipped into Bailu City.
