The man in blood-red clothes lowered his eyes and slowly approached the dumbstruck young girl. His weathered face carried an indescribable serenity. When his pale lips touched the young girl's soft skin, he finally revealed a faint smile, which carried a mischievous pride. ”These are all things that you should do.”

With that, he stood up and no longer looked at Hua Wei.

Gu Hua took a step back and pinched her palm so tightly that it almost broke her skin, telling her that she wasn't mistaken.

Long Jin, he actually, actually … Want to... Want to... Kiss her...

This knowledge made goosebumps all over her body. Her body was only ten years old, how could this guy take it? Fortunately, in the end …

”I won't laugh at you either.” He could tell what she was feeling at first glance, so he opened his mouth indifferently. He did not intend to make her worry about him any longer. ”I still need your protection.”

Gu Hua nodded like a little chicken pecking rice. ”Alright.”

”So,” the man once again walked to her side and took her hand. His actions were indescribably gentle, but so much so that they couldn't be refused. ”Don't ever thank me again.” This was something that he had to do even if he wanted to.

Gu Hua looked at the two's hands stiffly. She tried to resist the awkwardness in her heart and nodded, ”Mmm.”

”Let's go.” Long Jin held the young girl's soft hand tightly. His thin lips finally revealed an almost imperceptible smile. That smile was like the frosty snow, the cloud had just settled, and it was deadly gentle.

Gu Hua Wei Wei just foolishly buried her head in to hate herself for nearly being bewitched by her beauty. She was simply too impolite. Sniff, sniff, sniff. She hadn't noticed anything at all.

A few of the mutated toads disappeared, and the white fog dissipated one by one. In front of them was a green grassland, and the sky was still dark. Not far from the grassland, there was a green pond about ten zhang away, just as Long Jin had said.

The pond was clearly visible, as still as stagnant water. From a distance, it looked like a misty green jadeite, and behind it was a true mountain. Groups and mountains surrounded it, and in the midst of the mist, it seemed like a paradise on earth.

Gu Hua Wei followed Long Jin's steps, walking step by step towards the edge of the pond. His spiritual sense quickly scanned the surroundings of the pond. It was strangely quiet here, which made Gu Hua Wei, who had experienced the mutated toad, not dare to let his guard down.

”Nothing.” Long Jin comforted her and stared at the cold pond. The edge of the pond was overgrown with grass and trees, making it exceptionally quiet. Long Jin didn't stop at all and walked to the edge of the water's edge, her sharp eyes no longer had any gentleness in them, only unspeakable viciousness: ”Come out.”

Gu Hua's heart almost jumped out because of this sound. What's wrong with this pond?

The calm surface of the water did not change, as if it had no life. As long as one was not too stubborn, they would not think that there would be any living beings surviving in this stagnant water.

But, this abnormal Long Jin, was he an ordinary person?

Obviously not.

Gu Hua Wei had never suspected Long Jin's acuteness from the start. In this aspect, his talent was simply astonishing. This kind of penetrating ability simply wasn't something that a single person could possess …
