"You... That face, X-Xiaogang?" A shaky voice entered Yunlong's ears, making him frowned because he didn't expect to hear that man's name here.
Yunlong turned his gaze at the voice and found the woman chasing the man earlier, staring at him with tearful eyes.
'Ahh, Liu Erlong.' Yunlong thought while looking at her with a calm expression.
She is a beautiful woman seemingly in her thirties with a well-developed figure. Her facial features are delicate, and even though her big black eyes looked lifeless, they still had a little spirit.
'Who would think that I would find her here.' Yunlong commented while covering his face back with the hood, which makes Liu Erlong confuse for some reason.
'That face... This kid had a connection with Xiaogang.' Liu Erlong thought while staring at the child, who reminds her of her running lover.
"W-What's your relationship with Xiaogang." Liu Erlong shakily asked while expecting something about the man she loves.
"Xiaogang? Who's that?" Yunlong responded with a confused tone, which caught her off guard as her expectation got shattered.
Yunlong stared at her for a few seconds before shifting his gaze back at his maids and said, "Let's go. This place has become too crowded."
As Yunlong and his maids went away from the area, the people started gathering around Liu Erlong and curiously stared at her.
"Where did that boy go." Liu Erlong suddenly asked the street foods seller, who is shaking his head at her.
"I don't know." The seller replied while shrugging off his shoulder.
"That child..." Liu Erlong muttered with a bitter feeling in her heart.
--------
In the other part of the city, we can see Yunlong enjoying his chicken skewers while looking at the scenery.
"Young master, have you met that woman before?" Yu Ning'er suddenly asked, making Yunlong inwardly frowned.
"Nope, I've never met her before." Yunlong honestly answered as he never met Liu Erlong in person before, but he knows about her from novel and manhua.
"Hmm? Volcano?" He suddenly stated while looking at a big volcanic mountain, which released white gases.
"That's the sunset forest." Bai Xue answered, which makes Yunlong smile for some reason.
"You know about that place?" Chu Xiaoyu quietly asked while staring at the new maid with a calm gaze.
"Mm, I have read about it before," Bai Xue replied with a smile on her face, which makes Xiaoyu nod her head in admiration.
'This new maid is not bad.' Chu Xiaoyu silently commented in her heart while shifting her gaze at Yunlong, who calmly stared at the volcano with a smile on his face.
'Should I meet the poison douluo now? His son should be alive in this years, right?' Yunlong thought while raising his gaze to the sky and notice Jin Eyu floating below the cloud.
"We are going to the sunset forest." Yunlong suddenly stated with a grin, which caused Bai Xue's eyes to widen because Sunset Forest was dangerous.
"You can't, The sunset forest is a dangerous place, and there is a rumor that a ten thousand years old spirit beast is living inside of it." Bai Xue objected with a worried expression.
"Haha... You don't have to worry. We have a strong protector in the sky." Yunlong laughed while raising his index finger to the skies.
"Also, ten thousand years old spirit beast is not even enough to defeat me." He stated with a reassuring smile on his face, making Bai Xue speechless because she doesn't know if he's bragging or confident.
Yu Ning'er softly patted Bai Xue's shoulder and then said, "Young master is strong."
They procced their steps toward the sunset forest with ease, but there are guards around the forest, which Yunlong quickly put into an illusion.
"Okay, there is a clear path on the east part of the forest because spirit beast above 5.000 years old rarely roaming in that area," Yunlong said after he gained the information of the guard, who is dumbly staring at the empty air.
"Xiaoyu, you almost breakthrough to level 20, right?" He asked his quiet maid, who calmly nodded her head.
"Mm, I only need a little push." Chu Xiaoyu answered while feeling the immense amount of spirit energy in her body.
"Level 20..." Bai Xue muttered while staring at Xiaoyu with a shocked expression because she would never think the quiet girl will be this talented.
'Trash martial soul...' She added in her heart while feeling dejected, but a warm hand suddenly pats her head.
"Hey, do you want me to flick you again?" Yunlong's voice suddenly entered her ears, which snaps her back to reality.
Bai Xue hurriedly covered her forehead with her hands, but what comes next is only Yunlong's laughs.
"Don't daze around. You're the one who said this place is dangerous, so you need to focus." Yunlong said while smiling at her.
"Also, you are going to be tested by me." He added while turning around and walked into the forest.
"Huh, what test!" Bai Xue asked while staring at Yunlong's back.
"You are going to hunt your first spirit ring by yourself," Yunlong answered, making Bai Xue's steps staggered because of just how dangerous her test is.
'He's not joking...' Bai Xue gritted her teeth, and her legs trembled because thinking that a spirit beast could swiftly kill her.
Chu Xiaoyu and Yu Ning'er followed Yunlong into the forest, leaving Bi Xue alone standing on there, making her even afraid for her life.
"I ran away from home to gain freedom." Bai Xue whispered while lowering her head.
"Not to commit suicide!" She declared while taking steps forward to the forest, which put a smirk on Yunlong's face because he underestimated this girl's determination.
Bai Xue quickly followed Yunlong, and when she arrived at his side, he opened his mouth and said, "I thought you are going to run away."
"Haah, I want to run, but I don't want to." Bai Xue boldly replied while cautiously looking around because she doesn't want to be suddenly ambushed by spirit beasts.
"Is that so?" Yunlong said while giving her an amused smirk.
Four of them walked inside of the forest for thirty minutes, but then Yunlong suddenly stopped his movement and said, "There are spirit beasts around us."
"Here, it should help you later," Yunlong said while throwing his dagger at Bai Xue, who caught it in a panic because of hearing that there are spirit beasts around them.
Chu Xiaoyu and Yu Ning'er called their martial soul respectively as an icy sword, and a thunder spear appears in their hands.
[I have detected 6 Spirit Beasts]

Yunlong smiled when he saw his system panel, and he then took his katana out of his spatial ring while preparing himself for the incoming attack.
"Yu Ning'er, show me how much your fighting abilities grow in these two years," Yunlong instructed, to which Yu Ning'er responded with a nod.
"Chu Xiaoyu, try to fight without using spirit energy." He shifted his gaze at Xiaoyu, who stared at him and nodded her head.
"Eh, What about me?" Bai Xue suddenly asked with an alarmed expression.
Yunlong quietly turned his gaze at her and naturally said, "Bai Xue, try your best to survive."
