Because he didn't know what had happened in the City of Arcane Arts, and Yue Yan or Yue Fei Xue had not left any clues, with the surrounding area filled with zombies and monsters, Ye Feng decided to head straight in the direction indicated by the Homesick Worm.
"Jia~ Hou!"
"Peng~ Ka Cha!"
"Keng Keng Keng~ Hong Long!~"
"Hu~！ Xiū Xiū Xiū~ Chi La~"
"Pī Pā!~"
As Ye Feng and his companions advanced, countless zombies and various indescribable, foul-smelling monsters launched frenzied attacks on them.
Ye Feng initially counterattacked, but later stopped bothering. After all, those zombies and monsters couldn't harm him.
More importantly, he discovered that if he made a move, the Homesick Worm would easily be startled and become agitated, thrashing about.
Therefore, Ye Feng ignored the attacks from the zombies and monsters. He held the glass jar containing the Homesick Worm and ran quickly in the direction it was wriggling.
Xiao Xiao and the others initially helped Ye Feng clear some monsters, but there were simply too many zombies and monsters. Moreover, they were aware of Ye Feng's strength, so they stopped intervening much later.
In a short while, Ye Feng's clothes were in tatters. Although the attacks from the zombies and monsters couldn't hurt him, his clothes...
"Little fellow, what are you doing? Are you alright?"
As Ye Feng was leading Xiao Xiao and the others forward, a familiar female voice suddenly rang out.
He looked up and saw a classical beauty in a white palace dress appear before him – it was Yue Fei Xue, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Quick, come with me!"
Before Ye Feng could speak, Yue Fei Xue's white palace dress suddenly unfurled, enveloping him completely. The next moment, Yue Fei Xue, carrying Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, Ling Xi, Leng Yue, and Qiao Ying, vanished from amidst the horde of zombies and monsters.
"What the... did she not wear anything under her white palace dress..."
Wrapped by Ye Feng's white palace dress, Ye Feng's face instantly turned red. Although he was covered in the white palace dress, in the darkness, he couldn't see clearly, but he felt a slippery, soft touch on his hands, face, and thighs. He also caught a faint, elusive fragrance.
Moreover, he sensed a comforting power coursing through his entire body. Unconsciously, Ye Feng gently rubbed his face against the soft curve before him.
"Hmm?~"
A suppressed moan escaped Yue Fei Xue's throat, and her delicate face instantly flushed.
"Wēng!~"
The next second, Ye Feng's feet landed on solid ground, and light reappeared before his eyes, as Yue Fei Xue had brought him to a mountainside.
"Ye Feng, you're not injured?"
Yue Fei Xue, her face flushed, glared at Ye Feng with her watery eyes.
"Uh... I... I didn't say I was injured, did I?"
Ye Feng looked at Yue Fei Xue, puzzled.
"Then why didn't you fight back against those monsters attacking you? And the blood on your body... I thought you, like Yue Yan, were rushing here without regard for yourself and got seriously injured..."
Yue Fei Xue pointed at Ye Feng, whose clothes were tattered, scorched, and covered in bright red blood, with a speechless expression.
"Uh... this is the blood of those monsters..."
Ye Feng scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Because of Yue Fei Xue's position, Ye Feng's gaze landed on the soft curve he had just rubbed against.
"Cough cough!~"
Yue Fei Xue seemed to realize something as well. She coughed lightly and turned aside. "Ye Feng, then why didn't you fight back? You were holding your arms and hunched over... I thought you were covering a wound..."
"Oh, it was to prevent this Homesick Worm from being startled!"
As he spoke, Ye Feng showed the glass jar containing the Homesick Worm to Yue Fei Xue.
"This... I see..."
Upon seeing this, Yue Fei Xue immediately understood. She had completely misunderstood.
Thinking back to how she had wrapped Ye Feng in her white palace dress and held him close without asking for details, Yue Fei Xue's face turned even redder.
"Sister Fei Xue, what's wrong? Your face is so red!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's concerned voice rang out.
"I... I'm fine... Xiao Xiao, how are you all?"
Saying this, Yue Fei Xue looked at Ling Xi, Leng Yue, and Qiao Ying beside Xiao Xiao. The four of them shook their heads in unison.
"Speaking of which, Fei Xue, what exactly happened in the City of Arcane Arts?"
"The terrain of this place has completely changed, as if it was hit by a super tsunami... And what is that ocean standing in the void?"
"Where are Yue Yan and Bing?"
At this moment, Ye Feng asked three questions he was concerned about. The four girls, Xiao Xiao, also looked at Yue Fei Xue with inquiring eyes.
"It's Poseidon!"
Yue Fei Xue's expression was extremely serious.
"Poseidon among the Twelve Main Gods?!"
Ye Feng frowned slightly.
"That's right!"
Yue Fei Xue nodded. "You're right. The entire City of Arcane Arts was indeed destroyed by a tsunami... Poseidon controlled a super tsunami thousands of meters high... almost instantly destroying the protective array of the City of Arcane Arts."
"Countless people in the City of Arcane Arts died tragic deaths... The scene was simply a living hell."
Speaking of this, Yue Fei Xue's face showed sadness. "After the first wave of attacks, Yue Yan immediately organized a counterattack... but including me... everyone in the City of Arcane Arts combined... was no match for Poseidon wielding his trident..."
"Just as we were about to... escape, Poseidon himself was injured and spat blood."
"Poseidon is so powerful because he obtained the other half of his power. He devoured a guy named Beelzebub, who seemed to be Beelzebub, the King of Gluttony, one of the Seven Archdemons..."
"And the reason Poseidon spat blood was also due to Beelzebub's counterattack."
At this point, Yue Fei Xue looked at Ye Feng with surprise. "That Beelzebub seemed to know you... He said you were right, 'While alive, do something you want to do'... He attacked Poseidon, seemingly because he knew of your relationship with us..."
"Afterward, Poseidon completely obliterated Beelzebub's consciousness."
"Beelzebub's attack seemed to have caused Poseidon considerable damage, so he didn't continue to attack us... though there were other reasons..."
Yue Fei Xue paused here. "It would be better for Yue Yan to explain this part to you..."
"Alright then..."
Although Ye Feng was a bit confused, he decided to follow Yue Fei Xue's advice.
"Then where are Yue Yan and the others?"
Immediately, Ye Feng looked at Yue Fei Xue with concern.
