At the foot of a mountain, a stream flows slowly down from the mountain.

The lush trees sway in the wind, providing a relaxing experience for both body and mind.

However, beside the stream, there is an ordinary courtyard.

At this moment, a man and a woman were standing at the entrance of the courtyard. The man looked shocked, while the woman looked relaxed.

That's right, it was Su Fan and Li Muchan, and this was Li Muchan's home.

Su Fan's shocked expression wasn't because the courtyard was particularly magnificent; on the contrary, it was utterly ordinary.

Su Fan initially assumed the woman was from a wealthy family based on her attire.

Unexpectedly, they were genuine mountain people. It wasn't that Su Fan looked down on mountain people.

But in this world, even the people in the mountains are dressed so well, and they are not ordinary people.

However, after his initial shock, Su Fan thought that the woman's parents might be reclusive masters who had grown weary of worldly affairs and had settled here.

Having confirmed this idea in his mind, Su Fan looked around the courtyard in front of him and stretched his neck to get a closer look.

Before Su Fan could even stick his head inside, Li Muchan, noticing his action, pulled him back.

Seeing Su Fan, who had been pulled back, looking at her with a blank expression, Li Muchan picked up a branch from the ground and threw it into the courtyard.

Then Su Fan saw the tree branch that Li Muchan had thrown burst into flames and turn to ash in the air less than half a meter in front of the two of them, before drifting away with the wind.

Upon seeing this, Su Fan shuddered. How could there be a mechanism here?

If Li Muchan hadn't pulled him back just now, he might have been reduced to ashes.

Thinking of this, Su Fan felt a chill run down his spine. He then remembered that this world was a fantasy world, and calling it a mechanism seemed inappropriate; it should be called a magic array.

Seeing Su Fan's lingering fear, Li Muchan covered her mouth and chuckled, thinking to herself, "This mortal actually knows fear?"

When he ate that death fruit, he looked as if he was afraid someone would snatch it from him, and he took a bite.

If Su Fan knew what she was thinking, he would definitely curse her in his heart.

A moment later, Li Muchan took out a jade pendant from her bosom. As soon as the jade pendant appeared, it formed a light screen that enveloped the two of them.

Upon seeing this scene, Su Fan was filled with curiosity and kept gesturing to himself.

Just as Su Fan was still making a scene, Li Muchan gestured for him to follow her, and then stepped into the courtyard.

Seeing Li Muchan like this, Su Fan quickly followed her; he didn't want to be burned to ashes.

Su Fan and his companion entered the courtyard without any hindrance, and there were no flames, which made Su Fan breathe a slight sigh of relief.

After entering the courtyard, Li Muchan put away the jade pendant and then shouted loudly.

"Father, Mother, I'm home."

Su Fan heard Li Muchan's voice, but he couldn't understand what she was shouting.

However, judging from Li Muchan's expression and tone, it is easy to tell that she was probably talking about something like that.

However, there was no response for a long time after Li Muchan finished speaking, which made her wonder if her parents were not at home.

When Li Muchan saw that her parents did not respond, she knew that they must be angry that she had secretly run away.

Thinking of this, Li Muchan's face fell immediately, and she walked heavily toward the room in the center.

Seeing Li Muchan's state, Su Fan followed her out of curiosity.

When Su Fan followed Li Muchan into the room, he saw a man and a woman sitting in the main seat, looking at Li Muchan with angry expressions.

However, the two were slightly taken aback when they saw the man behind Li Muchan. Then the man looked at Li Muchan and frowned as he spoke.

"Chan'er, who is this person?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muchan recounted to the man everything that had happened to her after she ran away.

The man and woman looked on with heartache when they heard that Li Muchan had almost been beaten to death.

However, after hearing that Su Fan had saved her, she gave him a grateful look.

Then, upon learning that Su Fan couldn't understand their language, Li Muchan, in order to repay his life-saving grace, brought him back and planned to teach him to read.

Su Fan, standing to the side, stared blankly at the conversation between the three. Although he couldn't understand what they were saying, he could still discern their expressions.

When the man gave Su Fan a grateful look, he also stretched out his right hand, scratched his head, and returned a silly grin.

However, Su Fan was also secretly observing the man and woman in front of him. The man was dressed in black robes and had a serious expression, but when he looked at Li Muchan, he would inadvertently reveal a doting expression.

The woman was wearing a blue dress and looked very much like Li Muchan, like a larger version of Li Muchan.

However, the woman always wore a happy smile when she watched the father and daughter talking.

This caused a slight stirring in a certain part of Su Fan's heart, who was secretly observing from the side.

If only he could have such a happy and fulfilling life.

While Su Fan was still lost in his fantasies, Li Muchan and the other two had finished their conversation and were all looking at Su Fan.

She expected to receive a severe scolding, but instead she was only reprimanded for sneaking out, and there were no other punishments.

This relieved Li Muchan, and she recounted her encounter with Su Fan, also curiously asking why he was unharmed after eating the Death Fruit.

Then Li Muchan and the other two looked at Su Fan, only to find his eyes vacant and his face filled with intoxication, which startled them all.

Li Muchan, who was the first to react, quickly came to Su Fan's side, slapped him, and murmured.

"Could this be a side effect of eating the Death Fruit?"

Su Fan, who was daydreaming about a happy life, was suddenly slapped across the face, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

After regaining his balance, Su Fan also came to his senses. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw that all three of them were looking at him, and he subconsciously shrank back.

Although these three people were strangers to Su Fan, he immediately became nervous being stared at by them.

He didn't understand why the three of them, who had just been talking, were suddenly all looking at him.

Unable to understand, Su Fan could only awkwardly force a smile and nod at the three of them.

When Li Muchan saw Su Fan like this, she sighed and thought, "Why does this guy look so silly now?"

However, since Su Fan couldn't understand her language, he didn't know how to explain the current situation to her.

However, when Li Muchan's parents saw Su Fan's appearance, they keenly sensed a hint of heartache.

Regardless of whether the two sides could communicate or not, and not knowing how things would develop, Su Fan subconsciously put on a flattering expression.

This made the two parents suspect that their child might not be living a happy life.

Thinking of this, the woman looked at Li Muchan and said softly.

"Chan'er, go and prepare a room for him."
