Li Banfeng used a special rope prepared by his wife to enter the wormhole and rescue Qin Tianjiu from the Bai He. Despite the Bai He's initial hesitation, it allowed Qin Tianjiu to escape using the rope. Afterward, the Bai He sacrificed its own chance to escape, sending another trapped individual, Teacher Song, out instead.

Teacher Song, the man in white, and Bai He, were following a man forward together.

To be precise, none of them were sure if the person ahead was a man. The figure's build, features, and clothing were all very vague, even Bai He, whose perception is extremely sharp, could only discern a rough outline. Based on the voice calling out to Qin Tianjiu earlier, they guessed the person might be male.

This is a cultivator from the Cloud Top Third Layer, pushing the talent of being easily overlooked to its limits, producing this effect.

Bai He's perception is incredibly strong; to achieve this effect, Li Banfeng had expended a massive amount of energy, and he wasn't sure how long he could sustain it.

Stepping out of the wormhole, the four stood together in the swamp.

The man in white looked around, he didn't see Qin Tianjiu.

Qin Tianjiu had left long ago, he wasn't on this side of the Boundary, he was on the other side, in Pants Belt Pit's territory.

The phonograph first fired the Dark Bridge Cannon, Li Banfeng walked from Greenwater Bay to Pants Belt Pit. The second time it fired, Li Banfeng walked from Pants Belt Pit back to Greenwater Bay.

With the phonograph and the Dark Bridge Cannon already back in the Portable Residence, Li Banfeng took out three Contract Books, placing them before the three.

The content of the Contract Book was very simple, it required the three present not to disclose what happened tonight.

Each of them pressed a bloody handprint onto the Contract Book, Li Banfeng waved to the group, indicating they could leave.

Bai He wrapped a pair of wings in front of his chest and bowed to Li Banfeng: "Benefactor, might you leave your name?"

Li Banfeng shook his head slightly.

Bai He bowed again: "The life-saving grace, I will never forget. My life, I temporarily deposit here. In the future, Benefactor, if you require anything, come to the White Crane Gang, find me Bai Wusong, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

After speaking, Bai He pecked a feather from his wing, pecking it fiercely, with blood on its stem.

He handed this feather to Li Banfeng, its meaning apparent.

This is the proof upon meeting again in the future. As long as Li Banfeng produces this feather, Bai He and Bai Wusong would willingly give their life to Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng accepted the feather, returned Bai He's salute with his indistinct figure.

Bai He flew away with the man in white, Song Shu looked at Li Banfeng, wanting to speak but hesitating.

When Li Banfeng called out to Qin Tianjiu, Song Shu heard the voice, suspecting it was Li Banfeng, yet unsure if she should speak.

As Song Shu hesitated, the figure opposite nodded slightly at her.

It was him! It really was him!

Teacher Song's eyes welled with tears, filled with joy of surviving the ordeal and the excitement of reunion.

She didn't know how to express her feelings to Li Banfeng at that moment. Unfortunately, the reunion was so brief, Li Banfeng waved again, signaling her to leave quickly.

"Thank you, thank you..." Teacher Song knew this wasn't the time for reminiscing. She thanked repeatedly, slowly turned around, and walked into the night.

After a few steps, she turned back, wanting to see Li Banfeng once more, but his figure had already disappeared.

Song Shu bit her lip, unable to control the tears flowing down her cheeks anymore.

Li Banfeng, can't you say a word to me?

You saved my life, how can I repay you?

And you...

You haven't even told me what this place is!

Where should I go?

Song Shu wasn't very familiar with Puluo State, many places she hadn't visited, including this swamp.

Late at night, there were no buildings around.

The weather was a bit gloomy, vast clouds obscured the stars.

Song Shu sensed the magnetic field around her, finding it chaotic.

This wasn't unusual, half of Puluo State's territories have chaotic magnetic fields.

Teacher Song grasped her left index finger with her right hand, pulled it out, turned two circles clockwise, and one and a half counterclockwise. She wanted to call for help from the radio station.

But as the call was about to connect, she pressed her index finger back.

She couldn't disclose this location, doing so would surely be unfavorable to Ban Feng.

Continue walking, ahead seemed vaguely to be a forest area. If she could enter, perhaps she could find her way.

After walking for over two hours, Song Shu entered the forest, passing several trees, the snow was already knee-deep.

Outside the forest, the swamp didn't freeze. Inside, the snow was more than a foot deep. Puluo State's territory was completely unpredictable.

With her cultivation level, walking on snow shouldn't be much, but trapped in the wormhole for so many days, unlike Little Fatty who could eat anything, she was now frail like never before.

Reaching the forest's depths, exhausted, Song Shu leaned against a tree to rest, grabbed a handful of snow, and stuffed it into her mouth to quench her thirst.

"Miss, why are you eating snow?"

Just as Song Shu took a bite of snow, she abruptly heard a voice, choked on it and coughed intensely.

Looking around, she saw a woman in black slowly approaching from afar.

Seeing her step lightly on the snow without sinking, Song Shu realized that this person was skilled and immediately became vigilant.

"Are you lost, hungry? I have some pastries here." While speaking, the woman had already approached.

"You are..." Song Shu stared at the woman for a moment, suddenly a bit dazed.

Why is this woman so beautiful?

Her skin is so fair, perfectly fair, a bit too white would lack blood color, slightly less fair would reduce her charm, yet she is fair at the most beautiful scale.

Her figure is so graceful, a bit taller would seem too imposing, slightly thinner too delicate, but her figure is precisely perfect, capturing all the grace and tenderness.
