Chapter 801: Where Is She Now?

Chapter 801: Where Is She Now?

“Would you think less of me if I told you that…” He hesitated, torn between the urge to reveal his secret and the instinct to protect her from fear.

“What is it?” she asked, leaning in slightly, her innocent curiosity prompting her to inch closer.

It was an unconscious gesture, devoid of any intent to allure.

Tuzi AoFen found himself captivated by the delicate curve of her ear, which reminded him of a ripe peach.

He had an overwhelming desire to taste its sweetness, but instead he swallowed hard, his pupils dilating as he leaned nearer.

“Fen Fen??” Without waiting for his answer, she tilted her head to catch his gaze, only to find herself lost in the depths of his dark eyes.

Her heart raced at the intensity of the moment, prompting her to suddenly push him down, using her own spiritual strength to shield him from the unseen menace approaching from behind.

Without looking back, she unleashed her most formidable attack in a swift motion.

“Boom!!!!” In that instant, the ominous sky illuminated briefly, casting a radiant glow across the darkened landscape before plunging back into darkness.

A shadowy form appeared above, resembling a colossal tree, its twisted branches writhed like sinister tendrils against the moonlight, creating unsettling patterns on the ground below.

“I think I just saw an octopus dancing in the sky!” Shenlian Yingyue exclaimed, her eyes fixed upward, trying to make sense of the shadow.

Tuzi AoFen: “…..” The shadow above: “…..” Oc…

octopus dancing??

“Oh goodness, Fen Fen, are you alright?” As she helped him back up, her gaze darted behind them, probing for any hint of danger.

Standing behind her, Tuzi AoFen’s cerise pink eyes flickered with a strange glimmer, a dark pink hue that skirted dangerously close to crimson before settling back into their usual gentle shade.

He appeared just as innocent and gorgeous as ever.

“What just happened?

Did something really attack us?” she asked anxiously, scanning her surroundings and employing her divine sense to detect any lingering threat.

When she looked back at the sky, it was clear, the malevolent presence seemingly vanished, leaving only the tranquil pale light of the moon to illuminate the scene.

It was as though nothing had occurred at all, the shadows of doubt fading into the murky depths of her imagination.

“It’s alright, Xiao Yueyue, it must have just been your imagination,” Tuzi AoFen reassured her, placing his hands on her shoulders to soothe her trembling nerves.

Shenlian Yingyue remained quiet, her brow furrowed in concern.

The attack had felt so genuine that she believed that a mere second’s delay in her reaction could have cost her and Fen Fen their lives.

Doubt gnawed at her as she scanned her surroundings meticulously, her gaze suddenly landing on a tall tree nearby.

This tree had struck her as peculiar when she first entered the forest with Fen Fen, who had brought her to stand beneath its towering presence, its leaves and branches obscured from view.

While it appeared to be an ordinary tree, there was something unusual about it that piqued her curiosity.

Despite her doubts, she felt helpless.

Her divine sense couldn’t penetrate her surroundings, and even if it could, she hesitated to use it too freely, wary of alerting the formidable creatures lurking in this forest.

What should she do next?

Concern for Huang Donghai and the others, particularly Xiong Zi Ying and Su Lanfei, weighed heavily on her mind.

“Xiao Yueyue, let’s pause here for a moment.

I’ll fetch something for you to eat-just wait for me, okay?” Tuzi AoFen guided her to a charming little cottage nestled close to a flowing river in the forest.

The cottage was encircled by vibrant and strange flora.

Though she’d never encountered these plants before, the sight left her astonished.

Inside, the cottage featured a bed draped in a warm blanket, a table, and two chairs.

It felt spacious and tidy, though a layer of dust coated the furniture, suggesting it had been abandoned for quite some time.

Waving his hand, Tuzi AoFen cast a spell to clear the dust from the room, then gently encouraged her to take a seat.

“Alright, Fen Fen, please be careful.

I’ll await your return,” she affirmed, nodding and offering her usual warm smile.

“Don’t wander off; it’s dangerous outside,” Tuzi AoFen replied, his gaze lingering on her before he finally nodded and stepped outside.

Once certain he had left, she took a deep breath and hurried to the window.

“Just as I thought…” she gasped.

It was true; while these plants differed from those in the forbidden cave where Fen Fen had resided at the Peach Blossom Peak, they shared the same beneficial effects.

These peculiar flowers and plants were likely meant to ease Fen Fen’s discomfort from his illness.

“Indeed, Yue’er, these plants have long been extinct in the human realm, yet they still grow in places beyond our world.

At least, they should not exist on a low-tier planet like this one,” Shenlian Yinzhu’s voice echoed from the Ethereal Small World, providing clarity to her confusion but intensifying her disbelief.

Where exactly was she?

At this moment, she couldn’t even discern if she was still on the Yellow Planet.

“Master, you’re not in the Yellow Planet,” Xiao Yun’s words struck her like a bolt of lightning.  A chill ran down her spine, and she gasped in realization.

It made sense now-the trees and mountains looked so strange, the rivers and waters were unlike anything she had ever seen on the Yellow Planet.

If she wasn’t on the Yellow Planet, it explained why her spiritual senses couldn’t penetrate the vast expanse around her.

Every realm had its own restrictions and rules.

Just as she was about to inquire with Xiao Yun about her current location, a warm and captivating voice echoed from behind her.  “Xiao Yueyue, your complexion is quite pale.

What’s the matter?”  Tuzi AoFen reappeared, carrying a basket filled with fresh fruits and baked potatoes.

It was brimming with carrots, berries, apples, and an assortment of fruits favored by bunnies.  “Fen Fen, can you tell me where we are right now?

I really need some information,” she said, her expression a mix of caution and concern.

“Why don’t we have a bite to eat first, and then I’ll fill you in?” he replied with a chuckle, a playful smile on his face as he took her hand.

Reluctantly, she swallowed her apprehensions, knowing that she couldn’t push him for answers.
