The only thing she felt was a strong hand embracing her tightly, like she was passing through the dimension of space, being sucked in by something that made her even dizzier before completely losing consciousness.

The bright light emanating from the runes engraved on the rock began to dim, the dense mana surrounding the pair of creatures also slowly dissipated.

They were Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi. The two of them had returned to the sacred waterfall in the Ghoul tower to be precise in Artland World.

Gurgling water splashed on the cheek of a girl who sat on the lap of a man who was under a waterfall, precisely on a large rock.

Wan Lie, Huang Bao, and Xiao Ying were by the river, they were waiting anxiously.

Ever since someone suddenly appeared and pierced through the protective pyramid, the three of them had still not seen that person's appearance. The flow of mana that they had a hard time damming suddenly became so calm for a few seconds after that person's appearance.

Xiao Ying could only guess that that person had no ill will towards Fu Xie Lan so they did not take any action.

All they did was wait at the edge of the waterfall until the two souls returned.

while Huang Bao and Wan Lie, for a moment both almost had the same thought, that may be the person who suddenly appeared was a Demon? Mana who they feel is so great.

Who else had enough mana to break through the protective pyramid except for that Race? But the difference between the two of them was, Huang Bao kept denying that it couldn't happen. Why was it about Lord Gu coming to this place?

As for Wan Lie, although he had never seen what his father's face looked like, for some reason his feelings told him that the person who suddenly appeared was indeed his father, Lord Gu.

Suddenly he became confused, what attitude should he show to his father?

He didn't feel ready to meet the man.

Seeing the dim light, Wan Lie's hands reflexively tore off the hem of his clothes and covered half of his face. He has no idea. He felt a little hesitant to reveal his identity to the man now.

He just didn't want to add to his father's burden if he knew of his existence. He felt that he was still not strong enough to be considered the son of that ruler.

Because he didn't know if his father would believe him about his origins? Revealing his identity right now would also mean he was telling Fu Xie Lan that he was her second biological son right? Besides, he didn't want to be his father's weakness. Where and what the black witch will do in the future no one knows.

At this point, Wan Lie had already decided, he would patiently wait for the seal on his mother's body to disappear and then reveal his identity to the two of them. And before that happens he will keep it a secret and protect his mother everywhere.

Yes at least that way, he can reduce the threat that leads to his parents.

While on the other hand, Huang Bao and Xiao Ying didn't want to ask about Wan Lie's sudden action.

Another thing on the minds of the two old men was, they never expected that the two (Gu Yi and Fu Xie Lan) would return at the same time and at a time that was beyond their calculations.

Even though that person had only appeared a few seconds ago and he had already managed to bring Fu Xie Lan back.

Now, both the light coming from the runes (patterns) on the rock surface and the Mana around the boulder below the waterfall had completely disappeared. And a man and a girl were sitting there. There was a small creature that also entered the eyes of the three people.

Seeing this, the two old men immediately floated in the air and approached. As for Wan Lie, he just stood there not moving an inch.

But Huang Bao who had just left his footing a few centimeters suddenly stiffened, his whole body trembled, his pupils dilated when he saw who the man was with Fu Xie Lan.

Losing focus, his body fell into the water and it managed to distract Gu Yi.

"Ssshhh." Gu Yi's hand moved to signal for those who were approaching to restrain his movement and did not make the slightest sound.

Huang Bao who had fallen into the water very slowly he got out of there and pulled over. Xiao Ying followed.

Now he understood why Wan Lie suddenly covered part of his face. That was because he already knew that the man Fu Xie Lan was with was his father. He chose not to take too seriously the reason why Wan Lie covered his face. Let it be that child's secret.

Xiao Ying was also surprised, but her response was not as great as Huang Baos. He had guessed beforehand that the one who appeared was a Demon.

After returning to Artland World, Fu Xie Lan did unconsciously. The blush that had filled her cheeks in the Dark Zore had now disappeared into white and was extremely pale, her breath sounding irregular and very weak.

Hao who was on Gu Yi's shoulder was also unconscious.

The man then stood up and instantly appeared in front of the already drenched Hua Bao.

"H-how is Fu Xie Lan doing?" The male voice coming from the side managed to make Gu Yi turn his head. A young man with a mask was looking at his wife worriedly.

Seeing that gaze, Gu Yi immediately turned around, reluctant to answer, and turned his back on the unknown youth to hide Fu Xie Lan's body with his burly body.

"Huang Bao, heal the wound," he said suddenly without looking at the old man

"W-well, Your Highness." then Huang Bao reached out to touch Fu Xie Lan but his body suddenly couldn't move.

"No, not this girl."

Huang Bao froze, his hands could not move. Even looking at Lord Gu Yi he was afraid.

"This."

Suddenly a small furry creature was thrown at him, and at the same time, he was able to move his hands. Of course, it quickly caught the little creature. Bloodstains had almost covered all of his furs. If you look at it from afar, people might have thought that the creature had red fur.

"This?" Xiao Ying couldn't believe it after seeing the little creature up close, neither did Huang Bao.

The last time they saw the creature, was when Yu Chen was still alive. And it's been over 1000 years since then.

Yu Chen was one of their ancestors and the being that was being seriously injured was some kind of tier three magic beast spirit, not only that. The creature can change itself in a form like humans in general.

Gu Yi who saw the response of the two old men raised his eyebrows. It was just a weak creature being injured. Why is their response so exaggerated?

"There is something wrong?" he asked the two old men.
