Yuan Ming first placed his parents in a mortal town on a second-level island near Fusang Island, because this time he lost the ability to descend by stealing the Heavenly Ding, for the safety of his parents, he thought twice and left the flower branch.

It just so happened that the flower branch had also devoured a lot of the spiritual power of the Fusang tree, and it was about to hit the fourth-level upper level, and it also needed time to retreat, so he readily agreed.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Yuan Ming also deliberately left the banana fan and Jia Sifang's Rising Tide Hazy Sea Ring to Hua Zhi to enhance her strength.

Subsequently, Yuan Ming made a special trip to Wan Tianren and told him that he needed to leave for a while, and in addition, in order to prepare for the great battle with the Wu Moon God, the Stygian Moon God would also fall into a long period of retreat, and he would not be able to respond to the prayers of the believers at that time.

"Another point, please remember that Lord Stygian Moon God is a god of freedom, he is not a witch moon god, and he does not want to be a witch moon god. The East China Sea has always been the East China Sea of the East China Sea people, and its future will always be controlled and led by you, but the Moon God hopes that the East China Sea Alliance it helps will not become the second Witch Moon Sect. Before leaving, Yuan Ming said a meaningful word to Wan Tianren.

"Divine Envoy Yuan, rest assured, as long as I am here, the East China Sea Alliance will always be the East China Sea Alliance." Wan Tianren was extremely calm, and his heart was relieved for no reason.

"That's fine."

After saying this, Yuan Ming said goodbye to Wan Tianren, stayed on Fusang Island for a few more days, and then secretly left the East China Sea and went straight to southern Xinjiang.

……

Southern Xinjiang, Northern Regions.

Thousands of miles away from Biluo Cave, a sparsely populated narrow valley.

In the valley, a stream winds its way out of the mountains, and in the middle of the valley, a little flat and open, it gathers into a small pool less than ten feet in circumference.

Not far from the edge of the pond, under a strong old locust tree, a slightly simple thatched courtyard was built.

There was a sound of children frolicking in the courtyard, and then a little girl who looked like two or three years old, wearing pigtails and a short red jacket, jumped out of the courtyard gate.

Behind her, a fire marten with bright and fiery red fur was dragging its fluffy tail, carefully controlling its speed and chasing after it, for fear that the chase would be too rapid and make the little girl fall.

"Giggle......

The little girl's laughter, like the tinkling of spring water, echoed in the valley.

With crescent-like eyes, she ran to the waterhole and jumped into the arms of an old man who was sitting by the river fishing.

The old man wore a hat on his head, his beard was white, and he looked like he was already old, but as soon as the little girl opened her mouth, she shouted repeatedly: "Daddy, daddy, the gluttonous child is chasing me......"

The old man was none other than the former cave master of Biluo Cave, the fish man who had a year-old friendship with Yuan Ming, Li Chai, and the little girl was the only daughter of Li Chai and Ling Songhua, the master of the three caves, named Li Yu.

"Haha, let me see, did the gluttony bite the foot of my little carp?" Li Chai threw the fishing rod aside, happily picked up the little girl's feet, and pretended to inspect it.

Huo Yu'er also ran to him at this time, rubbing around Li Chai's feet.

Compared to when Yuan Ming left, this guy has grown up a circle, and his round appearance is very likable.

"I didn't bite, I didn't bite ......" the little girl struggled and jumped down.

Huo Yu'er immediately rubbed up, but she pushed away in disgust.

"Daddy, did you catch a fish? I am hungry. The little girl looked at the fish basket on the side and asked.

Li Chai took the fish basket and showed her, "When did Daddy be empty-handed?" ”

The little girl was not much taller than the fish basket, and she looked inside by the edge of the fish basket, and sure enough, she saw two colored fish and a golden fish inside.

"Daddy, I want to drink fish soup." The little girl swallowed her saliva and said.

"Okay, Daddy, I'll go back and cook it for you." Li Chai got up with a smile, lifted the fish basket with one hand, scooped up Li Yu with the other, and walked back to the small courtyard.

Back in the yard, Li Chai put down his daughter and let her play with Huo Yu'er.

He himself went to the simple kitchen, set up a casserole on two small stoves, and stewed the two different fish separately.

Later, he filled the stove with firewood, washed and cut a few seasonal vegetables, and stir-fried two delicate side dishes.

After a while, a strong aroma wafted through the courtyard.

When Li Chai set the dishes and chopsticks, the little girl was already sitting obediently on the side, staring at the food and fish soup on the table with her two eyes, and she didn't notice a trace of saliva at the corner of her mouth.

"Little carp, wait a minute, your mother should come out too." Li glanced at the mountain wall against which the thatched courtyard was leaning against and said with a smile.

As soon as his words fell, a stone door slowly opened on the mountain wall, and a beautiful woman in red with soft facial features, plump body, and high bun walked out, it was Ling Songhua, the former master of the three caves of Nabiluo Cave.

The beautiful woman looked a little tired, but the moment she met the eyes of her husband and daughter, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on her face, and the unique charm was slightly revealed, and all the tiredness was swept away.

Coming to the small square table, Ling Songhua just wanted to sit down, when he saw Li Chai Zheng scooping a bowl of fish soup made of golden red fish and handing it to his daughter, Xiu Mei couldn't help frowning slightly.

"This lung fire fish is something I finally gave to you in exchange for healing, why do you give it to your daughter?" She said with some annoyance.

"Haha, I'm afraid it's useless to drink anything in my body, you see that now my cultivation has been declining, and I have returned to the foundation building period. No matter how good things are for me, they are all wasted. Our little carp is different, it is a rare thunder and fire twin spirit root, she eats more of these good things, and her cultivation can be smoother in the future. Li Chai laughed and laughed.

Li Yu was obviously a little afraid of his mother, holding a bowl of fish soup in his hand, blinking a pair of big eyes, but he didn't dare to drink it.

"Drink." Seeing this, Ling Songhua shook his head helplessly, his expression softened.

"Yes, mother!" The little girl was immediately overjoyed, and she drank it in a big gulp regardless of whether it was hot or not.

"How's it going?" Li Chai saw that his wife's expression was still a little lost, so he diverted the topic.

"It's just a medium-grade magic weapon, there's no problem, this time it's in very good condition, I should be able to exchange more spirit stones." Ling Songhua took the dishes and chopsticks handed by Li Chai and replied.

"That's good, these days, hard work for you." Li Chai gave her a bite of food, and said with a little shame.

"You and I have been married for many years, what are you talking about?" Ling Songhua glanced at him and said.

"Alas, I ......"

Before Li Chai could speak, Ling Songhua interrupted him.

"The decision to retire was made by us together, and I have never regretted it over the years, and even less so after having a little carp, in fact, I am very happy." She said earnestly.

When the husband and wife spoke, the little girl couldn't understand half a sentence, so she just buried her head in cooking.

When the dishes on the table were eaten up, and the fish soup was at the bottom, the sleepy little girl who had eaten and drunk enough was already holding the bowl with both hands, and fell asleep with her head on the table, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.

Ling Songhua smiled and hugged her daughter into her arms, her expression soft as water.

It's just that her eyes fell on the gluttonous girl who was gnawing on the fish bones on the side, and she seemed to suddenly think of something, and a haze couldn't help but appear in her eyes.

"Are those guys still refusing to give up?" Li Chai sighed and asked.

"They are eyeing the awakened spiritual fire bloodline of the fire glutton, and naturally they refuse to let go." Ling Songhua shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, this Valley of Forgotten Worries is inaccessible and so hidden, we haven't been out for more than a year, and they won't find it." Li Chai comforted.

"It's not a way to hide all the time, it's really not good, contact those old ones and see if anyone can help?" Ling Songhua asked.

"After so many years of turmoil in the southern and northern regions, there are few of those who are still alive, even if some of them are really willing to help us, how can we drag them down?" Li Chai smiled bitterly and said.

When Ling Songhua heard this, he was silent again.

A name popped up in the minds of the two of them, and if the young man was still around, he would not have died for them.

It's just that after thinking about it, they can't help but show a wry smile.

Not to mention that they have been out of touch for too long, even if they can still find that person, how can he fight those guys on his own?

"If it really doesn't work, just hand it over, it might be better to follow them, follow us...... How long has it been since it has eaten pyrolite? Ling Songhua sighed and said.

Huo Yu'er, who had been lying at her feet, seemed to understand this sentence, and immediately raised her head vigilantly, with a panicked look in her eyes.

"This little guy has always treated us as family, how can we possibly hand it over? Deal...... Alas, let's take it one step at a time. Before Li Chai could say his cruel words, his eyes fell on his daughter, and his tone couldn't help but soften.

……

At the same time, a team of men and horses in the valley was swimming up the stream.

Headed by a tall bald man, with a sideways face and a full body of evil spirit.

"Let's all go quickly, the couple is very cautious, and at the slightest fuss, they run away. This time we finally found their news, but we can't let them slip away anymore. The bald man shouted.

He is a monk in the early stage of Jiedan, and the seven or eight people who follow him are all in the middle and late stages of foundation building, and such a team of people can be regarded as a large force in the entire southern and northern regions.

"Boss, didn't you say we should just buy that mink, why do you have to use knives and guns?" At this time, a young man in a green robe asked.

"You're new kid, aren't you? Don't you know what the boss is for? Before the bald man could speak, a thin man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks next to him opened his mouth.

"I'm really new here." The corners of the young man's mouth twitched, and he smiled.

The young man was none other than Yuan Ming, who had not been back in southern Xinjiang for a long time.

When he arrived in the Northern Regions, he wanted to see how Li Chai and the Three Cave Masters were doing, but when he arrived at the place where the two had stayed, he found that it had been abandoned for a long time and there was no trace of habitation.

Later, he and Xiying rushed to Biluo Cave again, but it turned out that there were no people there, and there were no more acquaintances.

As a last resort, Yuan Ming used black incense and possessed it on the fishman Li Chai, only to find this Valley of Forgotten Worries.

As a result, as soon as I was halfway there, I found this group of people.

Yuan Ming cast an illusion spell, making these people mistakenly think that they were also fellow travelers, so they followed.
