95: The Mysterious Man

The Mysterious Man

There was really a sense of familiarity in his eyes. Was he… Ye Qingxuan?1

She instantly abandoned that thought. Ye Qingxuan couldn't move his legs at all now. How could he be here?

However, she still reached out to attack his knees. With a flash in his eyes, Jin Chao deliberately didn't dodge. The moment Xia Muqing's hand touched his knees, she retracted her strength and touched his knees. There were no signs of injury.

Letting go of him, Xia Muqing said, "If you want to follow me, go ahead. But it's best if you don't have any bad intentions. Otherwise, I won't let you off."

This warning with a hint of threat made Jin Chao chuckle. "All right, I'll listen to you."

The affection in his words was obvious. Xia Muqing frowned and moved away from him.

He didn't get angry and followed behind her patiently.

Ahead of them was a small river. As soon as they got closer, they spotted Jiang Yifan and the little phoenix lying on the ground.

Half of Jiang Yifan's body was submerged in water. Just a wave would be enough to wash him away. The phoenix was lying near his head.

Xia Muqing quickly rescued him and patted him to wake him up.

The moment Jiang Yifan woke up, he glanced anxiously to the side. Seeing the little phoenix, he quickly held it in his arms to protect it.

Xia Muqing raised her eyebrows in surprise.

After waking up, the little phoenix anxiously spun around. Only when it realized that the person hugging it was Jiang Yifan, did it calm down.

Xia Muqing was even more surprised and asked, "What happened to you guys?"

Jiang Yifan and the little phoenix glanced at each other before quickly turning their heads away. Their shy expressions made Xia Muqing even more curious and she kept pressing them.

The two of them kept their mouths shut, unwilling to speak.

Xia Muqing suddenly felt movements in her bag. She quickly opened it and a small head popped out.

Gungun's furry ears twitched before they slowly became longer and sharper. A hint of red appeared at the tip of its ears and the shape of its face changed. It was no longer round but had a small chin and a red totem appeared on its forehead.

It jumped out forcefully, but its body didn't change.

It glanced around swiftly and yelped in surprise before leaping onto Xia Muqing.

Xia Muqing was also overjoyed. "Gungun, you're finally awake!"

Gungun exhaled a cloud of smoke and boasted to her, "Haha! I've evolved!"

Jiang Yifan understood. "It seems like the reason we entered the illusion realm was because of it."

Gungun replied in embarrassment, "I just evolved and so I didn't control my energy properly. That was why I lured all of you into the dream."

Xia Muqing asked in surprise, "Yifan, can you understand Gungun?"

Jiang Yifan was speechless. "Sister, didn't you hear that he spoke human language? Beasts with potential can understand and speak human language after cultivating to a certain level."

Xia Muqing nodded and asked curiously, "Can they cultivate and turn into humans?"

Jiang Yifan suddenly looked at the phoenix in his hand. "I've never heard of a beast taking human form."

Xia Muqing watched their interaction and asked, "Gungun, can you see what we have experienced in the dream?"

Gungun nodded. It knew what she wanted to ask and immediately said, "They were a couple in the dream world."

Jiang Yifan and the little phoenix stiffened.

Xia Muqing didn't expect this answer. Looking at the little phoenix and Jiang Yifan, the romance between a human and a beast wasn't easy. She didn't say anything and asked, "What about my dream? Was the little boy I saw at the first dream bell real? What happened to him in the end?"

Gungun was a little confused by this series of questions. It had finally recalled everything and was about to answer, but it was interrupted by Jin Chao. "Why did you guys go to the Azure Cloud Eagle's territory previously?"
