Nangong Chu looked at the Pear Garden that he had taken good care of for more than three thousand years, and also slowly walked in, with a relieved smile on his face, ”Indeed, three thousand years!”

Hearing Nangong Chu's words, Shui Qinan sighed in her heart. She knew the meaning behind Nan Gong's words, Nangong Chu was always like a guardian, she had no rules and she came and went as she pleased, just like three thousand years ago when she left without leaving a single word behind.

”You …” It was the first time that she saw Nangong Chu, who looked like a middle-aged man. Although that wasn't his original appearance, right now … He had actually returned to his previous appearance.

”Since you've returned, I went to retrieve my body as well. After all, I cannot fully utilize a mortal's body. Only then will I be able to truly help you.” Nangong Chu said gently.

”Nangong, thank you for all these years!” Thank you for always taking care of me in that small world. Shui Qinan sincerely wanted to thank Nangong Chu.

Regarding Shui Qinan's thanks, Nangong Chu was a little surprised. Seeing that she was still admiring the flowers, Nangong Chu smiled as he understood and turned his head away from looking at the pear blossoms.

The two of them quietly stayed in Pear Garden for a while, ”You came this time for a reason, right?” Nangong Chu looked at Pear Blossom, a hint of worry flashing across his eyes.

”Those who know me well, Nangong as well!” Shui Qinan looked at Nangong Chu, who had a calm expression, and said with a smile, ”I need the Flaming Cloud Beast's crystal core, but I don't know where it is.”

Nangong Chu knew that Shui Qinan was looking for the Flaming Cloud Beast, but he was still shocked in his heart. Even he did not have the ability to subdue the Flaming Cloud Beast, given Shui Qinan's current level, he would simply be courting death. Nangong Chu said angrily, ”Stop messing around! I won't tell you! ” Nangong Chu looked at Shui Qinan with an angry expression. In his heart, he didn't want her to take any more risks.

”I must go. Nangong, you should know who I am. The matter I've decided on will not change!” Shui Qinan looked at Nangong Chu with a determined gaze. Nangong Chu saw his own reflection in Shui Qinan's clear eyes and laughed weakly in his heart. He clearly knew her temper. In his previous life, he hadn't stopped her once, but from the looks of it, he still couldn't do it in this life. This was the witch he was willing to follow!

”Alright, I understand! The Flaming Cloud Beast is extremely fierce, you cannot catch it right now, I will go with you, this is my retreat! ” Nangong Chu said somewhat helplessly. In fact, he was one of the witch's subordinates back then, and after a while, he and her became friends.

Seeing Nangong Chu's resolute expression, Shui Qinan knew that he wouldn't be able to change his mind, and could only nod her head in agreement.

Seeing that Shui Qinan agreed, Nangong Chu then said, ”I have seen the Flaming Cloud Beast at the bottom of this island before, if my guess is not wrong, it has not left yet!”

Shui Qinan was a little astonished. She did not think that the Flaming Cloud Beast would actually be by her side, in the ocean beneath her feet.
