Chapter 103: Entering the Cave

The golden-furred mouse squeaked a few times and without hesitation darted into the cave, only returning after a long while.

Ouyang Xue crouched down, cradling the golden-furred mouse in her hands, smiling warmly. “Good little one, here’s a sugar apple for you.”

The mouse lifted its tiny paws, squeaking excitedly and impatiently.

At that moment, an unexpected squad suddenly emerged from somewhere, cutting off the battle circle between Mi Yue, Yong Rui, Ying Ji, and the others.

“A small token of appreciation. Uncle Zhang has been busy with me for so long; as a junior, I should have come to see you sooner,” Han Tao said cheerfully as he entered the room, placing goods from the supply and marketing cooperative onto the kang.

She had just fallen asleep when a sudden scream startled her awake. She turned over and sat up, first reaching to check if Ying Ji was safe. But when she touched him, she found him curled up trembling.

Su Luo’s rescue of Sixth Uncle Nangong was a matter of principle, but she bore no deep grudge against the Demon Realm—after all, she was not a native of the Spirit World.

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar shattered the sky above. The power of the Azure Dragon broke through the cursed sword’s world-ending demonic flame and surged toward Luo Chaosheng on the ground.

On such a scorching day, sitting inside a tent clad in chainmail was truly unbearable. Chen Wu’s undershirt was thoroughly soaked with sweat, and he was already in a foul mood. Confronted with Xu Maodian’s stubborn refusal to relent, his irritation grew.

“Brother, I didn’t expect you to be this formidable. Here, take this,” Zuo Qing said as he approached, his face pale as ash, the arm that was about to be severed swinging helplessly.

He could neither block nor dodge; all he could do was endure the violent onslaught tearing at his body.

Xiao Fengyan laughed heartily. “With your cultivation today, the four of us truly aren’t your match. But what if you add these people?” He finished speaking as shadows flickered around Yun Chen, and suddenly sixty-four black-clad figures appeared.

Yun Chen wanted to give chase, but the moment he moved, he felt his entire body weaken. Even standing became impossible. He watched as Ying Han ran out of the cave, urgently calling, “Han’er, come back, you…” After calling twice, Yun Chen felt utterly drained and fainted.

This time, Xia Xun was even more cautious than before. The more he understood Canglin, the more he felt the place’s profound mystery and the pervasive dangers lurking everywhere.

And so, I had a bowl, he had a bowl, and we finished the fish soup. Somehow, I no longer felt so full and even ate one of the stewed fish. The other was snatched by Chu Wutian, who said he was afraid I’d overeat.

Yuanyuan had a history of being bullied by many, which was why Yang Fei’er asked that question. Moreover, Xiao Zhu indeed harbored fantasies about Yuanyuan.

“All right!” Tang Yan responded softly, her voice like flowing water. “Honey, I’ll come to meet you in City H as planned. Just wait a little over ten days, and then I’ll be generous and satisfy your cravings!” Tang Yan made another empty promise.

At first, Su Nuan was startled by the eerie voice, shivering. But when she saw who stood behind Bai Zihuan, she couldn’t help but laugh helplessly through her tears. Bai Zihuan lowered his head to glance at the paw swinging on his shoulder, his expression a faint, ambiguous smile. Then…

“This is what the gentleman asked me to give you,” Steward Wang resumed his proud, cold demeanor and handed the paper bag to Su Nuan without waiting for her reaction, then turned and left.

Travel! Last time we said we’d go traveling, but it ended in such a huge misunderstanding. Aniu was still terrified, regretting how thoughtless she had been to say that.

Su Yang’s surgery went smoothly with a good prognosis and no serious postoperative infections. Two months later, he was discharged and returned to their two-bedroom apartment with Su Nuan. He gradually resumed classes and normal life, which delighted the siblings for quite some time.
