Meng Fusheng was right, Chi Tong did not seem like the sort to marry and have children. However, Ji Fengyan had made this subconscious guess entirely because of the little fellow’s looks...

Anyone who saw that delicate little face would know that he was related to Chi Tong. Further, Ji Fengyan had sensed an aura from the child similar to Chi Tong’s aura, so she had concluded that he was Chi Tong’s child.

But...

She had overlooked this special characteristic of the Free Valley.

After she had resolved this point, a strange idea suddenly arose in Ji Fengyan’s mind.

Meng Fusheng stared at Ji Fengyan for a long time without saying anything. He also thought it was rather strange that a child had suddenly appeared in Yan Luo Dian.

Ji Fengyan thought about it, but was unable to confirm her speculations. She asked Meng Fusheng to rest, and she also returned to her room. She sat cross-legged on her bed and allowed her senses to calm down. Then she slowly closed her eyes and a faint golden glow slowly enveloped her.

As the glow appeared, a vague figure slowly left Ji Fengyan’s body.

Her primordial spirit had left her body!

Ji Fengyan’s primordial spirit left her body and transformed into a virtual shadow. She looked at the real body seated cross-legged on the bed. Ji Fengyan involuntarily raised her hand to pat her virtual face.

Unlike her body, Ji Fengyan’s primordial spirit retained the looks of her previous life. Her unrivaled beauty was absolutely breath-taking.

Without wasting any time, Ji Fengyan walked out of the room in the form of her primordial spirit.

To Ji Fengyan, in the form of her primordial spirit, the hard walls did not seem to exist and she easily passed through them. Her figure melded into the moonlight, and the troop of devil-masked men who were patrolling, went right past Ji Fengyan’s primordial spirit without noticing anything strange.

Ji Fengyan followed the trail of aura left by Duanmu Hongru.

On the other side, Duanmu Hongru carried little Chi Tong back to his room. He carefully placed Chi Tong on a chair and stood at the side, his expression complex.

“After so many years, it’s about time we gave up.” Little Chi Tong sat upright on a chair. His little body showed traces of weariness. In this form, he seemed very frail and did not even seem to have the ability to protect himself. Although he subconsciously retained his former maturity, he was just like any other child in every way.

As he looked at little Chi Tong’s tired form, Duanmu Hongru’s expression became even graver.

“No, we have already found the Rhinoceros Beast. As long as the Rhinoceros Beast still exists, we still have a chance. Perhaps... perhaps we can find another one in the Forest of Freedom.” Duanmu Hongru sounded rather agitated when he spoke.

Little Chi Tong shook his head calmly.

“The Rhinoceros Beast is rare. It was already a miracle to have met one. Finding a second one will be difficult. It was not easy to get rid of Zhai Xing Lou and Yan Luo Dian had already suffered heavy losses. It would be too much to oppose the Heavenly Courts right now.”

Duanmu Hongru secretly clenched his fists. Right now, his heart was filled with regret. If he had gone into the Forest of Freedom then, he would never have allowed Zhai Xing Lou to snatch the Rhinoceros Beast.
