In the Ye Clan’s campground, cheers filled with excitement instantly broke out when Mo Ling and the others saw Mu Chen, Ye Qingling and the rest returning.

A while ago, information about Mu Chen being chased by others was circulated around. Thus, all of them knew about it and had been extremely worried. Although they knew how powerful Mu Chen was, the situation wasn’t the same as before. The large force that was chasing after him was far too terrifying. Therefore, they were quite worried. If something were to happen to Mu Chen, Ye Qingling and the oters, who stole many of the symbols of them, would probably cause the downfall of the Ye Clan.

“Sister!”

Sun’Er hurriedly rushed over and dove headfirst into Ye Qingling’s arms. The latter hugged her as she smiled.

“Brother Mu!”

Mo Ling and the others also gathered around quickly. Their faces were filled with excitement. But just when they were about to speak, they noticed the girl in black dress behind Mu Chen. Due to her appearance, the group of boys was completely stunned.

The girl in the black dress possessed a delicate, beautiful appearance. That appearance had even surpassed Ye Qingling’s. Moreover, the temperament that she radiated was also magnificent. Her glass-like eyes were calm and serene. They gave an intoxicating feeling to everybody who staring into them.

Although Mo Ling and the others had seen many beautiful girls before, it was the first time that they seen such a breathtaking beauty. In that instant, the youthful boys all held back from speaking and hesitated, tongue-tied in front of this beauty.

“You shouldn’t have any undesirable thoughts. This person is a big shot. Moreover, someone already obtained her. If you dare have any thoughts about her, you would have to be careful of Mu Chen beating you up you up to the point where you’re like a pig.” Ye Qingling covered her mouth as she laughed.

As Luo Li’s charisma was something that could even influence the usually calm Ye Qingling, it was not shocking that it affected Mo Ling and the others.

“Ah?”

At this moment, the crowd all let out a cry. Then, envious gazes were shot towards Mu Chen. Contrary to this, Mo Ling scratched his head instead as he asked: “Brother Mu, when did you find such a beauty? Sister Qian’Er would be sad if she knew.”

Hearing this, Mu Chen’s heart suddenly jumped. This brat truly was speaking carelessly.

“Who is Sister Qian’Er?” As expected, Luo Li approached Mo Ling as her clear eyes glanced at Mu Chen. Then, she asked with a smile.

Mo Ling’s face instantly turned red and replied hesitantly: “It’s a friend of ours in the Northern Spiritual Realm. She grew up together with Brother Mu.”

“Oh, so it’s a childhood friend.” Luo Li’s slender hands gently pinched Mu Chen’s palm as she spoke.

When Mu Chen noticed Luo Li’s expression, he was quite interested. After all, he was accustomed to her uncaring and indifferent expression. Thus, this was the first time that he saw such an expression as well.

“Let’s go. Don’t be jealous.”

Mu Chen smiled and held Luo Li’s warm and slender hand as he headed inside the camp: “Everybody should prepare themselves. We will leave tomorrow and head to the innermost region of the Northern Heavens World. However, everybody can relax. I will not let anyone here be eliminated.”

Since Mu Chen had already mixed together with the tiny Ye Clan for a while, he had a little bit of feeling towards it. Thus, he didn’t mind helping them out.

“Brother Mu is amazing!”

When the members of the Ye Clan heard this, they instantly rejoiced and shouted out excitedly. With Mu Chen’s word, they wouldn’t have to worry about their symbols not reaching the required rank and, thus, be eliminated.

On the other hand, Luo Li’s face turned slightly red as she was dragged away by Mu Chen under many people’s gazes. She struggled for a moment, but Mu Chen held onto her tightly. In the end, she could only allow him to do what he wanted…

As the evening sky enveloped them, a bonfire rose up within the campground, causing it to be extremely lively.

In the corner of the campground, Mu Chen and Luo Li were sitting alone beside a bonfire. Although gazes would be constantly directed over secretly, nobody came to disturb them.

Luo Li’s slender hands were holding onto the spit rack as the dazzling roasted meat emitted out an enticing aroma above the fire. Compared to what Mu Chen usually made, it was many times better in terms of smell and taste.

“Here.” Seeing Mu Chen stare enviously at it, Luo Li could not help but laugh as she handed the roasted meat over.

“I can finally eat what Lord King Luo had personally made again.” Mu Chen accepted and let out a sigh. This taste was truly something that he had missed.

Hearing Mu Chen tease her, Luo Li batted an eye at him. However, the corner of her lips gently lifted up and revealed the joy within her heart. As long as she was together with him, even the tiniest things made her happier than when she hunted down Heaven Rank Spiritual Beasts by herself.

While she sat elegantly next to the bonfire, her black dress outlined her slender body. Then, she quietly watched Mu Chen voraciously devour the meat as her thin fingers released the ribbon on her hair. As she did, her long silver hair fell down and released a dazzling luster underneath the glow of the fire.

“When will your hair turn back?” Mu Chen quickly finished the roasted meat and casually asked as he glanced at Luo Li’s hair. He could vaguely recall that he had once asked Luo Li about the color of her hair. Back then, she had mentioned that it was the result of the Gong Fa Spiritual Art that she had trained in.
