"It seems fine," Han Shengtao said indifferently.
At a spot a little farther from the courtyard, Han Shengxiao and Han Shengtao were standing on a slope, observing the scene within the courtyard.
After watching Xu Zii for an entire day, Han Shengxiao nodded slightly.
"It’s us who were overthinking. Our family isn’t wealthy or noble; there’s nothing much to sche for."
"But I’ve never heard of Skyfloat Village. It must be a village from another kingdom," Han Shengtao said.
"Second brother, what do you think of him?" Han Shengxiao suddenly spoke up.
"What do you an, big brother?" Han Shengtao was a bit stunned.
"Yanrou is also of marriageable age," Han Shengxiao sighed deeply.
"Big brother, you’re not thinking of—" Han Shengtao asked with so disbelief.
"What a joke. We’ve known him for less than half a day. How could we be so hasty with Yanrou’s lifelong matter?"
"Of course, that’s not what I an," Han Shengxiao gave Han Shengtao a look and continued, "You and your temper, not even asking for the reason."
"What reason?" Han Shengtao asked rather firmly.
"You know, because of her appearance, Yanrou has never been accepted by everyone."
Han Shengxiao spoke, "Sotis you have to believe that the eyes are the windows to the soul; they can reflect all the thoughts of the heart.
When Zimo first saw Yanrou, I saw it very clearly. There was no disdain or disgust.
Besides a little surprise, there were no other emotions."
Han Shengtao snorted coldly but did not retort.
"Let’s take one step at a ti, at the very least, we know he has no ill intentions. Let’s see how the fate between them unfolds," Han Shengxiao said.
"Let’s go ho."
Xu Zii didn’t eat dinner; he underwent The Dream of Three Thousand Years’ training once again.
The footsteps outside the window woke him.
The sky was just beginning to brighten.
Everything seed to be in its most primitive state, all things still imrsed in slumber.
As Xu Zii walked out of the room, outside Han Yanrou was ready to go out, carrying a basket.
"What are you doing up so early?" Xu Zii asked curiously.
"I’m going to gather so ingredients for cooking breakfast," Han Yanrou said softly.
"Can you take with you? I’d like to walk around this area," Xu Zii said.
"And I can protect you."
Watching Xu Zii flex his arm, showing off his muscles, Han Yanrou covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
She nodded gently.
It was clear that no matter what she did, she seed frail, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
Following behind Han Yanrou, Xu Zii left the village.
After the two of them left, Han Shengxiao and Han Shengtao erged from a nearby room.
"Should I follow and take a look?" Han Shengtao asked.
"No need, trust my intuition," Han Shengxiao replied, and then cheerfully walked back into the room.
Han Shengtao pondered for a long ti before finally sighing deeply.
...
Having left the village, the pair headed northward.
"Are you human race?" Xu Zii looked at Han Yanrou and asked.
"What kind of race is that?" Han Yanrou replied in confusion.
"All I know is that we are the Blood Clan."
"You look a lot like the human race I’ve seen," Xu Zii said.
"Does my current appearance look very ugly?" Han Yanrou asked with a bit of self-esteem.
"No, not really," Xu Zii shook her head slightly.
To be fair, Han Yanrou had a purity about her, Xu Zii thought inwardly, mainly because her clothes were too plain, covering up a lot.
With light makeup and appropriate clothing, she might not be stunningly beautiful, but she certainly had the makings of a beauty.
Especially her dimples, which looked very attractive, combined with her little tiger teeth, always made people involuntarily want to tease her.
Hearing Xu Zii’s words, Han Yanrou’s cheeks blushed slightly, adding an extra charm to her presence.
"Do you know how big the world we live in is?" Xu Zii asked, hoping to glean so useful information.
"The furthest I’ve been is the Dark Kingdom," Han Yanrou shook her head in reply.
"Moreover, as a citizen of the Dark Kingdom, we’re not allowed to leave the country without the King’s order."
"Why is that?" Xu Zii asked curiously.
"Don’t you have this rule where you’re from?" Han Yanrou asked, puzzled.
"There is no why, it’s a law established by the King."
"Do you know where the Sea of Blood is?" Xu Zii asked again.
"The Sea of Blood? What is that?" Han Yanrou shook her head again.
"I can’t rember the way ho, I only know that the Sea of Blood is near my ho," Xu Zii thought for a mont and replied.
At this point, both of them fell silent for a bit.
"Don’t worry, my father and the others will definitely help you find your way ho," Han Yanrou said encouragingly.
Then she looked at Xu Zii sowhat expectantly.
"When you go ho, will you co back to see us?"
"When the ti cos, I’ll take you to my place to play; it’s much more exciting there," Xu Zii said with a smile.
"Really?" Han Yanrou’s face lit up with joy, and she quickly asked.
Xu Zii nodded slightly.
"Co with , I’ll take you sowhere," Han Yanrou smiled, tossed the basket aside, grabbed Xu Zii’s hand, and ran off toward the distance.
They ran for nearly fifteen minutes and arrived at a very high hillside.
"Look quickly, we’re just in ti," Han Yanrou pointed to the horizon and said to Xu Zii.
Xu Zii looked up and saw a streak of blood color appearing in the originally dark sky.
This blood color, staining the edge of the sky, resembled a sunset, but the hue was much deeper.

The bloody hue was mixed with so gold, extrely beautiful.
"Every morning, when it gets light, this kind of view appears here," Han Yanrou explained shyly.
"Beautiful, isn’t it?"
"A sunrise?" Xu Zii was sowhat astonished.
But there was clearly no sun in this world, so why did this phenonon occur?
As the blood color grew denser, the world gradually beca brighter.
Both of them, tired from watching, lay down in the middle of the grassland on the hillside.
"Do you know, for all these years, you’re the first person of the sa age who’s willing to stay and talk with ," Han Yanrou said.
"Why is that?" Xu Zii asked, surprised.
"They all think I’m an ugly freak," Han Yanrou explained dejectedly.
"They look like that themselves and have the nerve to criticize you?" Xu Zii was taken aback.
But then she realized once more, everything is relative.
From the human race’s point of view, those Form Blood Beasts are incredibly ugly, and it wouldn’t be an overstatent to call them monsters.
But from the perspective of a Form Blood Beast? Perhaps to them, the human race appears as monsters.
"Were you born like this?" Xu Zii asked.
"My father sought treatnts for , they said this is a reversion to my ancestors’ bloodline," Han Yanrou explained.
"One of my ancestors once interbred with the human race, hence the reversion.
Even though the chance is one in ten thousand, the reversed bloodline happened to ."
