After a dozen minutes, they returned to the familiar entrance, a patch of light appeared before them.
Without a word, Han Xing grabbed Zhang Lianng’s wrist and quickened his pace.
Suddenly being pulled by Han Xing, Zhang Lianng’s body tightened instantly, almost instinctively wanting to shake off.
But thinking about this man, she had so strange feelings again.
That feeling was indescribable, as if when he held her, there was an inexplicable sense of safety in her heart.
Zhang Lianng felt the strength from the wrist, her face blushing.
His hand is so strong...
Being held by this man, unexpectedly brought a sense of security she had never felt before.
Not even her fiancé or her family had given her this feeling.
Just then, the front beca bright, they stepped out of the valley, and their vision opened up.
Han Xing imdiately released his hand, Zhang Lianng’s fantasies were suddenly interrupted, and for a mont, a slight sense of loss arose in her heart.
Han Xing sensed her slightly off color and asked, "What’s wrong with you?"
Zhang Lianng quickly replied, "Nothing, nothing."
Her voice carried a hint of guilt and shyness.
Han Xing glanced at her, then asked no more.
Han Xing continued, "Let’s go, let’s return to the territory first."
"Mm..."
Zhang Lianng lowered her head, agreeing softly.
...
Twenty minutes later, they returned to their territory one after another.
This cave trip had no gains, and they had fought a Leader Monster,
No, it can’t be said there was no gain at all, at least he brought back hundreds of liters of Spiritual Spring Water.
Also, Han Xing obtained two pieces of key information through the task introduction.
The place these survivors reside in is called the Land of the Abandoned Gods, and the native residents of this world seem to shun it like the plague.
To the extent that after this strange bird committed heinous cris, even the elves dared not rush into the Land of the Abandoned Gods to chase it.
The second piece of information was that the Elf Royal Capital map might be opened subsequently, though exactly when, Han Xing had no clue.
These two pieces of information seed useless but greatly helped Han Xing understand this unfamiliar world.
At this mont, Zhang Lianng still kept her head down, daring not look up at him.
Han Xing didn’t know what this woman was thinking, so he said, "Ask your man to send over the coordinates, I’ll take you there."
"Huh?"
Zhang Lianng seed a bit dazed.
Han Xing continued, "As per the agreent, you finish the task with and I’ll send you to find him."
After listening, Zhang Lianng doubted, "But... wasn’t the task incomplete?"
Han Xing nodded, "Yes, it was incomplete, but this ti there were so changes; these unforeseen events were beyond our control, and can’t be blad on you."
"I’m not a good person, but I do stick to what I say."
Zhang Lianng still stood blankly on the spot.
Han Xing urged sowhat speechlessly, "Hurry up."
In Zhang Lianng’s heart, there was suddenly a slight feeling of loss.
After a struggle in her thoughts, she said softly, "Alright, I’ll contact him."
Han Xing nodded slightly and waited quietly.
After two minutes, Zhang Lianng nervously glanced at Han Xing, "I seem to be unable to reach him..."
Her expression changed, as if she had realized sothing.
In the morning, Han Xing had already alerted.
That the Divine Whisper, the Two-Star Secret Realm they were challenging, was very difficult, and injuries or deaths were certain.
Zhang Lianng’s heart sank, she suddenly had a bad premonition.
She trembled and said, "He... he couldn’t be really in trouble, could he?"
Han Xing rolled his eyes at her, "You’re asking , how would I know?"
Zhang Lianng was now thoroughly confused, even her eyes began to mist.
Looking at Han Xing, she felt so wronged that she was almost going to cry.
Han Xing hurriedly said, "Don’t cry."
"Maybe your man is just fighting in the Secret Realm and doesn’t have ti to reply, wait a while and see."
Han Xing tried to say, though he knew this possibility was very slim.
Zhang Lianng softly sobbed and then nodded heavily, seemingly stifling her inner grievance.
Han Xing continued, "What are you going to do now? Or should I just leave you behind here? I don’t have ti to slowly wait for your man’s reply."
Zhang Lianng raised her head, a strange idea suddenly arose in her heart.
With tear-filled eyes, she looked at Han Xing and tentatively asked, "Can I... can I follow you?"
Han Xing was stunned for a mont, then directly shook his head and said, "Wishful thinking, following and wanting to be your free babysitter?"
Building courage, Zhang Lianng continued to plead, "I... I am very understanding, I can do chores, cook, and when encountering monsters, I can help fight, I won’t drag you down..."
Saying this, her voice again carried a hint of sobbing.
Hearing the conditions this woman offered, Han Xing thought for a bit, but still shook his head.
"No."
Han Xing’s clear refusal made Zhang Lianng feel her last hope was erased, her whole self almost unable to stand steadily.
"I’m leaving now, take care of yourself, so farewell."
Ignoring Zhang Lianng who was feeling lost behind him, Han Xing returned to his Sky Island Territory.
Just as he was about to maneuver the Sky Island to leave.
Suddenly, from a distance, a shadow swiftly rushed in the sky.
It was incredibly fast, almost crossing several kiloters in just a few seconds, appearing above Han Xing’s territory.
A terrible wind sound suddenly ca from the sky overhead.
