There had just been a beast tide, and there were not many wild beasts foraging in the dark forest at the moment.

This time, they would stay in the mountains for at least three months, at most half a year, and they might not even be able to come out. Back then, it took Yan Kuan a month just to walk back to the second layer of the forbidden area, let alone enter the innermost part of the forest.

What they carried the most were all kinds of medicine, not food and water. It was not necessary to bring those to survive in the forest, but these medicines were necessary to prevent themselves from getting hurt.

Guns were heavy and ammunition was cumbersome. Although these things were useful, they could not bring too many of them into the mountains. Of course, it was not that they could not bring helpers. Bringing helpers was equivalent to bringing people to die. They were not that desperate… They would not do that.

Usually, it was the most important thing to move out lightly.

“Are you afraid?”

“What a joke. What I’m afraid of is that if I don’t do this, I will regret it for the rest of my life.”

Yan Kuan smiled faintly and placed her hand on his palm. The two of them walked hand in hand into the dark forest that was filled with mystery and danger.

The miasma in the forest was dense, but they had taken special pills before entering the mountain. Moreover, ever since they had learned that the Golden Laurel Snake could make people immune to all poisons, Yan Kuan had injected them with the Golden Laurel Snake serum. Therefore, normal poisons could not hurt them.

“Do you think Dark 1 is ahead of us?”

“Yes, I think so.”

“Will he be alright?”

“Don’t worry, Lou Yin released him, so she will naturally prepare the necessary ingredients for him.”

“You seem to know Lou Yin very well? And don’t think that I have forgotten about it. What’s going on between you and Lou Yin? And the engagement. Why didn’t I know that there was an engagement on your head?”

Shen Xiaoxiao’s somewhat jealous question warmed Yan Kuan’s heart. Yesterday, this girl had been quietly sitting on that red hat the whole day. He had thought that she had forgotten about it. He had not expected that she would still remember it.

“The engagement was passed down from generation to generation in the Dark Empire. However, in my generation, it was naturally reformed by me. Moreover, I’ve also said that as long as this Obsidian Star recognizes its master, then you are destined to be my wife. Naturally, no one else can dream about it.”

“Wasn’t it because Lou Yin couldn’t wear this ring back then that you gave up on her?”

Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and sighed slightly:

“First, I treat Lou Yin as my little sister. Second, Lou Yin is the only woman that I’ve ever pitied.”

“Pitied?”

“Yes. To be the successor of Black Tornado, one can imagine the hardships that she had to go through since she was young. Back then, when I was in the dark forest, I personally saw her surrounded by seven fierce tigers. Her master just stood by the side and didn’t let anyone help her. Unless she killed the tigers, she would be reduced to the tigers’ food. That’s not all. She’s tried everything from the viper nest to the poison and vertigo.”

“So perverted? But she’s really strong. Haven’t you always liked strong people?”

“Silly, I only like you.”

“Glib tongue. You haven’t finished yet. So you don’t want to marry her just because of that? Do you have such good intentions?”

Yan Kuan smiled and continued:

“To become the heir of this Black Tornado, there is another condition, which is that you can not take even half a step out of this place for the rest of your life.”

“But you clearly said that you wanted to subsidize her global travel expenses.”

“Don’t you like the quiet environment here? Maybe when we come out, this place will be reformed. When that time comes, we can live here if we want to. If we want to go out, we can go out. Isn’t that great?”

“Ah? You’re really shameless. If she can’t leave this place, why would she still have a marriage contract with you?”

“Sigh, that’s why it’s also a perverse thing. In the past, all the heirs of the Dark Empire could have other women besides the mistress of the house. However, the heir must be a man, and similarly, the heir of Black Tornado must be a woman. This was because after the Black Emperor and Black Tornado principal had married, and the mistress became pregnant, their mission was considered complete, and they could leave this place. Some of them even never came back.”

“This is also the tragedy of Black Tornado’s successor, so I wasn’t willing to do this. I only want to protect the woman I love and live the life I want to live.”

Upon hearing Yan Kuan’s words, Shen Xiaoxiao stopped asking. As expected, Lou Yin was indeed a little pitiful. Moreover, although this girl was domineering when she first appeared, she was still a cute person.

Just by looking at the arrogance of the dagger she gave her, one could tell that this child was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

“Oh right, what’s the origin of this dagger? It looks very strange.”

“It’s not strange, but it’s made from the same material as Blue Demon in my hand.”

“Blue Demon? That’s right, I thought it looked familiar. So it’s Blue Demon. So you two are still a couple?”

“You. I brought this Blue Demon out from the Second Forbidden Zone . I also brought out an item that is the school’s most precious treasure.”

“Oh? What is it? It’s even called the school’s most precious treasure?”

“An axe.”

“An axe?”

“Yes. It’s completely black and shiny. I don’t know what it’s made of, but there were nearly a hundred lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, and bears protecting this black axe. All the animals with powerful attacks were guarding it. I was injured because I took this thing back then.”

“That axe is very powerful?”

“Of course it’s powerful. It can even split mountains and cut roads.”

“It’s that powerful?”

“You don’t believe me? Let’s give it a try when we need it.”

“Ah? You mean you stole it?”

Yan Kuan looked at this girl speechlessly. Did he still need to steal it?

“This thing almost cost me my life back then. According to the rules of Black Tornado, other than being the school’s most precious treasure, I’m the only one who has the right to use it. However, I can only use it once.”

“So you stole it?”

Why did this little thing like to use the word ‘steal’ so much?

“Alright, I’ll take it as a ‘steal,’ but they all saw it.”

“Let me see. What does it look like?”

Yan Kuan directly touched the back of his waist and took out an item that was about the size of an ordinary axe. Shen Xiaoxiao asked curiously as soon as she touched it:

“So light? Does it have the ability to do that?”

“If it didn’t, I wouldn’t have been able to run out of this Second Forbidden Zone back then.”

“It seems that this legend of yours still used this axe to help.”

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan with contempt. Yan Kuan was not annoyed and said with a smile,”Then this time, I’ll show you how powerful your husband is.”

Shen Xiaoxiao was just joking. Of course, she knew that without some ability, he would not be able to run out with just this axe. Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from the foot of the mountain behind them, they began to put away their joking thoughts. They gradually became nervous.

“Let me say this first. You are my husband. Even if I don’t want you, don’t even think about other women taking you away. Before I leave, I will castrate you first.”

Such a brainless sentence made Yan Kuan’s ears go straight. How did this girl become so violent? Castrate him? Why did he feel that his lower body was a little tight?
