“Okay,” Zhou Xuanji muttered.

The roar was too terrifying. For the two kids, it was better not to court disaster and stay as far from it as they could.

They did not consider at all whether Qiu Baili would come back to look for them or not.

Qiu Baili was a cultivator at Inner Pellet after all.

The two of them started to pack food and clothing.

After packing, Zhou Xuanji stored their wooden hut in his Supreme Storage straightaway, but Qiu Baili’s wooden hut was too ugly, and so it was of no value to bring it along.

They were already cultivators, and naturally, they could travel much faster than they used to be. Not only that, but their stamina had also become better, even better than ordinary adults.

They kept moving forward.

They traveled for nine consecutive days and they did not stop, because they were afraid that the demon will follow them. It was better to stay as far from it as they can.

At present, they were weaving through the forest.

The surrounding trees were not dense, but they were all very tall. Between the trees were many shrubs. The two kids walked through them and could hide themselves at any moment.

Shwoooosh —

A sound that pierced through the air came from the distant sky in front of them. Zhou Xuanji and Little Jiang Xue squatted down immediately out of fear and hid behind the shrubbery.

If you encountered cultivators in the wilderness, it was best to hide well and hide fast.

This was what Qiu Baili told them.

The areas on the edge of Southern Snow Kingdom were extremely chaotic, and even government soldiers could not interfere. If you meet someone, that person would most likely not be seeking a pleasant interaction.

Zhou Xuanji raised his head a little to take a look, and he saw a cultivator riding a demon flying across the sky above the forest.

The demon had a body that looked like a deer, its head was like a lion, and it had two wings. It looked very imposing, frightening them.

Only after they were far away could he sigh in relief.

He stood up and was preparing to leave with Little Jiang Xue, but he realized that she was no longer behind him, and had disappeared.

He reflexively turned around and saw that a few meters away from him, a woman dressed in black was carrying Little Jiang Xue, and covering her mouth with her left hand.

The woman had a cool and elegant looking face. Her eyes were long and narrow, and her hair was bundled up into a double top knot. Her quality of Qi was extremely Yin. One could tell just from her appearance that she was not a good person.

Zhou Xuanji was about to open his mouth, but he suddenly felt a heavy blow to the back of his neck and fainted immediately.

…

Whooosh–

The cold wind blew against Zhou Xuanji, and he gradually regained his consciousness.

He felt that a hand was touching his face, pinching him occasionally.

“This little guy is adorable, I can’t bear to kill him.” A coquettish voice spoke, hiding within it a terrifying intent to murder.

Zhou Xuanji suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. He was shocked to realize that he could not move his body. A hand was pressing against his small chest.

“Oh? This little guy is awake,” said the woman in black with cold laughter. She was the one who took hold of Little Jiang Xue previously and was now carrying him.

He looked for traces of Little Jiang Xue and realized that she was sitting right beside him. She looked aggrieved.

They were at the top of a mountain. Beneath the night sky, the moon shined, and the bone-chilling wind blew.

There were seventeen cultivators in total, all surrounding a bonfire. Behind them stood their respective demon mounts, which were all taking a nap.

“Madam Night Seven, why not just take him as your son, instead of killing him,” said a strong man with a grin. He was sitting opposite Zhou Xuanji. He wore a robe made of beast skin, his face large and rough. He looked like a ferocious beast in human form.

The other cultivators teased Madam Seven Night too.

“Every boy and girl that Madam Seven Night is fond of are raised as slaves. Her favor comes and goes quickly, and the slaves are killed whenever they do not listen.”

“But this little boy has such a pretty look. He might be the descendant of some big clan.”
