The closer he drew to the Scorching Basin, the more he missed Gu Yuena.

After rus.h.i.+ng into the basin, he rushed toward the small courtyard that he'd rented based on his memory. Just as he was about to reach the courtyard, a streak of green light suddenly flashed toward him.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he reached out before plucking the oncoming Demonic Greenbird directly out of mid-air.

The Demonic Greenbird chirped with displeasure, but was completely ignored by Tang Wulin.

He had been willing to leave Gu Yuena here on her own in large part due to this Demonic Greenbird. This Demonic Greenbird possessed combat prowess that definitely exceeded that of the average Soul Emperor, and he may not even be a match for it without donning his suit of battle armor. With it protecting Gu Yuena, she would naturally be very safe.

Gu Yuena was standing at the entrance of the courtyard in a set of cloth garments, and she was staring eagerly off into the distance. As soon as she caught sight of Tang Wulin, she rushed out of the courtyard before diving into his arms like a dependant little bird.

”Father, Father, I missed you so much!” Gu Yuena held Tang Wulin in a tight embrace.

Tang Wulin was also holding her tightly in his arms, and as he inhaled her familiar scent, all of his weariness and exhaustion instantly vanished.

Tang Wulin had also missed her greatly. He heaved an internal sigh of relief at the fact that she still hadn't recovered her memories, but at the same time, he was struck by a pang of guilt.

He really wished that she could constantly stay by his side like this, but without her memories, she was incomplete. However, she would most likely leave him as soon as she recovered her memories.

Even back when Tang Wulin had Shrek Academy as a powerful backer, Gu Yuena had still left him without any hesitation. Now that he had lost this powerful backer and was in a very perilous position, she would most likely be worried that she'd bring harm to him.

He stroked her smooth long hair and basked her in her scent as he gradually cast aside all of the thoughts that were cluttering his mind. Regardless of what happened in the future, he was holding her in his arms in the present, and that was all that mattered.

He planted a gentle kiss on her temple before releasing her and laying his hands on her shoulders.

Gu Yuena looked up at him, and her complexion was very rosy and healthy, but it was quite clear from the look in her eyes that she'd missed him very much.

He couldn't help but plant another kiss on her forehead before asking in a gentle voice. ”Have you been well during these past two months?”

Gu Yuena pouted, and grumbled, ”How could I have been well when you haven't visited me at all?”

Tang Wulin chuckled, ”Be a good girl now; I'll make sure to come back more often. If you ever feel lonely, you can take a walk in the basin. The law and order in this place is pretty good, but when you go out, you have to wear a mask and a hooded item of clothing. You're too beautiful, and that might attract trouble for you.”

”Alright, I will,” Gu Yuena replied with an obedient smile.

”Father, I want to eat roast meat.” Her eyes were filled with yearning.

”Sure!” Tang Wulin agreed to her request without any hesitation.

They visited the rotisserie where they'd dined together in the past before ordering some roast meat.

The owner of the rotisserie still had a clear recollection of Tang Wulin's enormous appet.i.te, and he smiled at the sight of the exquisitely beautiful Gu Yuena, who had just removed her mask. ”It's been a long time since you two last came here; why are you eating so little today?”

Tang Wulin smiled, and replied, ”My appet.i.te has decreased.”

He was telling the truth; his appet.i.te had decreased significantly ever since he attained his dragon core.

The owner left, and Tang Wulin turned to Gu Yuena with a curious expression. ”Have you not visited this place ever since we came here last time?”

Gu Yuena nodded, and replied, ”You weren't with me, so I didn't come here.”

”Then what have you been eating during these past two months?” Tang Wulin asked.

Gu Yuena replied, ”I just bought some random things to eat, and sometimes, I would go out for walks and play with Little Green.”

The Demonic Greenbird landed on her shoulder and nodded emphatically as if to back up her words.

The roast meat was crispy on the outside, yet succulent and juicy on the inside, making for an extremely delicious combination. Even though Tang Wulin didn't need to eat that much food nowadays, he still couldn't help but eat a little extra to satisfy his cravings.

”Where else do you want to go? I'll go with you,” Tang Wulin asked.

However, Gu Yuena shook her head before latching onto his hand as she replied, ”Let's go home, Father.”

Go home.
