As long as they weren't specifically made to target the underground world, even the most potent of radars couldn't detect something that was over 100 meters underground.

Gu Yue lay flat against Tang Wulin's back with her arms around his neck while Tang Wulin continued to dig through the earth with his golden dragon claws.

He had chosen to travel toward this direction as he'd seen a river up ahead when he was jumping out of the fortress. This was supposed to be a river that ran through the Star Dou Forest, but it had been exposed due to deforestation. The river was roughly 100 meters wide and unfathomably deep, so this was the ideal escape route for them.

”We've completely lost them.”

”Conduct an exhaustive search! Use the underground sensors!”

Troops from the Spirit PaG.o.da quickly surrounded the entire forest, but none of their equipment was able to detect the presence of Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena. It was as if they'd vanished into thin air.

Several minutes later, the hole opening of the tunnel that Tang Wulin had dug was discovered, but the tunnel had already been sealed and had to be dug out again. However, there was no way to ensure that they could dig the tunnel so that it matched the original route.

15 minutes had already pa.s.sed by the time all of the underground sensors had been activated, and no large life forms were discovered underground in a radius of several dozens of kilometers. As far as they were concerned, Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena had truly disappeared.

”Splash...” Tang Wulin and Gu Yue's head poked out of the water at almost the exact same moment.

The cool and refres.h.i.+ng water of the river carried their bodies onward, and Tang Wulin looked back to discover that the Star Dou Fortress was already several dozens of kilometers behind them.

He had dug the tunnel all the way to this river, and he was using its flowing water to carry them away. That way, he wouldn't have to expend energy by constantly fleeing from the scene.

Tang Wulin latched onto Gu Yue's hand before pulling her into his embrace, and he asked in a gentle voice, ”Are you cold?”

Gu Yue shook her head. She was suffering from amnesia, but she still had all of her power, so she was very resistant to the cold.

”You were so scary back there, Father. Even I was scared when you were yelling at them,” Gu Yue said in a displeased manner.

Tang Wulin smiled, and said, ”If I didn't do that, how was I supposed to convince them that I was actually threatening to kill you? It's alright, they won't be able to find us now. After we go a bit further upstream, we'll get out of this river. After that, I'll disguise both of us, and we'll change our clothes. No one will be able to find us then.”

”Alright, but I'm hungry, Father.” Gu Yue wound her arms around his neck, and their clothes were soaking wet at this point, so as soon as she pressed her body against his, Tang Wulin felt a scorching sensation surge throughout his entire body. Gu Yue's soft and supple body was presenting him with a lot of stimulus.

”Gu Yue, can you remember why they're calling you Gu Yuena?” Tang Wulin asked? This question had lingered in his heart this entire time, and it refused to go away.

Gu Yue shook her head in response and continued to hold him tightly in her arms.

Tang Wulin heaved a faint internal sigh. It appeared that this question would only be answered after Gu Yue recovered her memories.

They continued to allow themselves to be carried away by the river for close to three kilometers, and they finally got out onto the riverbank after Tang Wulin caught sight of a highway intersection nearby.

”Change into some dry clothes. Fa... I'll take you to find something to eat.” Tang Wulin almost instinctively referred to himself as her father, and that was making him feel very awkward.

”Father, I don't know how.” Gu Yue's large eyes were filled with innocence.

Tang Wulin's lips twitched upon hearing this. She didn't know how to change her clothes?

At this moment, her clothes were completely soaked, and she was as good as naked as she stood in front of him. Just the sight of her brought a blush to Tang Wulin's face, and he could feel his heart rate accelerating at an alarming rate.

”You really are a troublesome little minx!” Tang Wulin sighed before taking Gu Yue to a discrete corner beside the highway. He quickly pulled out a set of clothes from her storage bracelet before changing her into it, blus.h.i.+ng heavily the entire time. Gu Yue displayed no reaction to this at all, but that was certainly not the case for Tang Wulin.

”Father, are you feeling very hot? Why is your face so red?” Gu Yue asked with wide eyes.

”Slap!” Tang Wulin slapped her on the backside. ”Shus.h.!.+”

”Ngh!” Gu Yue pouted in a displeased manner.
