After passing through the shadow door, the man held Mu Yao’s hand and the two of them bounced out of the “Spring” stone door.

The two of them slid on the ground for a distance with their swords. The flames on the man’s body naturally extinguished as he stepped into the cave. Then, both of them fell unconscious.

About two hours later, Mu Yao opened her eyes again and found herself sleeping in the man’s arms. The man was still unconscious.

Mu Yao blushed all of a sudden, her eyes reflecting his handsome sleeping face. This was the first time Mu Yao had blushed.

She suddenly recalled that the man had saved her at the last moment. For a moment, she felt less repulsed by the man.

At the same time, the man’s eyelids fluttered sleepily. It seemed as though he would be waking up soon.

Mu Yao jumped away from the man and quickly stood up, glancing at the pendant and the silver sword on her. Fortunately, they were still there.

She dusted herself off and turned around to look down at the man. “Hey, wake up.”

“Mm…” The man slowly opened his blurry eyes.

“Woman! You’re still alive?” The man immediately relaxed when he saw the familiar cave and the woman’s slim back.

“What do you think?” As she spoke, she bent her knees and stretched out her right hand in front of the man.

The man in front of him suddenly understood what he meant. He stretched out his left hand. With Mu Yao’s help, the man struggled to get up.

“Can I call you Xiaohuo?” Mu Yao suddenly asked, dumbfounding the man.

Why did she suddenly give him a name? Didn’t she always just address him as “hey”?

The man patted the dust off his body, coughed, and said, “This name isn’t cool. It doesn’t suit me.”

For some reason, Xiaohuo felt that this cold and hostile lady seemed to have let her guard down against him.

“Thanks, Xiaohuo.” Mu Yao’s lips curled up slightly, and she actually smiled naturally at him.

With this smile, Xiaohuo suddenly felt a slightly different feeling in its heart because of the lady’s smile. It was a pretty smile, and he wanted to see it again.

The man coughed, his face turning red. “Woman! I said I don’t like this name! But you’re welcome. If I didn’t save you, I might not have the chance to recover my spiritual power. I saved you to save myself. Do you understand, woman?”

Immediately, the smile on Mu Yao’s face faded. Just as she had expected, this man would not help her for no reason!

“But what’s your name, woman?”

“Why should I tell you!” Mu Yao retorted.

Mu Yao didn’t care if she told him her name, but she was now feeling a little irritated. She calmed herself down and went straight to the point.

“The world behind the stone door, I think…” Mu Yao rested a hand on her chin and said thoughtfully.

“It’s not the real world,” Xiaohuo and Mu Yao said in unison.

Both of them were surprised by their tacit understanding and looked at each other subconsciously. The moment their eyes met, both of them tacitly moved away.

The cave fell into silence.

However, this silence did not last long. Mu Yao was the first to break the silence. “Xiaohuo, why didn’t the shadow door reject you when you brought me in? It pulled me in with it. However, when I first attempted to enter, I was repelled by a very powerful force.”

The man was a little angry, but he didn’t dislike this name as much as before.

He fell into deep thought. He had never thought that this would happen. At first, he had thought that they could only enter black shadow door but not return. That was what he thought when Mu Yao pulled him into the shadow door!

However, he decided to give it a shot in a moment of desperation. Unexpectedly, they had managed to enter when he pulled Miss Mu in.

Mu Yao gave the man another cold look. “Are you hiding something from me?”

All of a sudden, Mu Yao recalled the image she had first seen. At that time, the huge object behind the door of the black Shadow door of “Spring” began to rumble and shout as it gradually faded away.

When she pulled the man in just now, she was unable to enter. However, the man had somehow pulled her in! Could it be that the monster in that illusory world was actually afraid of Xiaohuo?

At first, Mu Yao thought the beast was a stone statue. But now, she was looking at the man in front of her whom she thought was handsome but could not remember anything. He claimed to be a difficult man to cultivate.

Perhaps those giant creatures and unknown demons were really afraid of Xiaohuo. Otherwise, he would not have been able to return to this cave.

What was his background!? Also, which sect did the Hehuan Swordsmanship belong to?

The man instantly felt uncomfortable being stared at by the woman. He subconsciously took a step back. “Hey, woman, I told you not to look at me like that. What are your plans now? Since you have entered this door, you should understand that my words are true. I think the other three options are definitely the same. There’s no way out. I think the only solution now is to quickly practice swordsmanship.”

Mu Yao then picked up the sword at her waist. With an expressionless face, she said in a low voice, “Don’t think that I will consider it just because you saved me once.”

“Woman, you have to accept my kindness. How else will you get out now?” The man crossed his arms and said impolitely.

Seeing this, Mu Yao smirked. “I’ll tell you the same thing. You have to accept my kindness. Otherwise, who else is going to practice swordsmanship with you?”

“You’re the most unreasonable woman I’ve ever met!”

“Forget it, you’ve already lost your memory. What memories do you still have? But since we’re already in this situation, why don’t we set up an alliance agreement and we can each achieve our own goals?” Mu Yao knew that Xiaohuo was extraordinary, but even if he was a dangerous person, she had to make him work for her at this moment.

These demons, ghosts, and unknown giant creatures were afraid of Xiaohuo, and he was the only one who had the ability to return through the shadow door. Then…

“What agreement?” the man asked.

“We have the same goal—leaving this cave. Since that is the case, accompany me into the other three gates!”

Before Mu Yao could finish, the man’s face immediately darkened, and he said in a low voice, “Woman, do you want to die here? Do you really want to waste time here? I have a solution but you refuse to use it. Why are you risking your life to go into the unknown?”

Mu Yao rolled her eyes inwardly. ‘Is your method even humane?’

Of course, Mu Yao didn’t want to die. It was just that the scene in the first illusory world in the cave was alluring. Mu Yao had a feeling that everything in the cave had something to do with her death,

including the blood-red eye.

Somehow, Mu Yao had a feeling that her tragic death wasn’t that simple.

Besides, Mu Yao believed that the sword technique should only be used as a last resort. All she had done was enter an illusory door. No matter what, she had to see what was behind the other black shadow doors. If she ran into dangerous monsters inside, she would have no choice but to get the man to bring her back through the black shadow door.

Mu Yao remained expressionless and said coldly, “I will consider your swordsmanship, but not now. We are just doing what we need to. Think about it carefully. I won’t force you.”

The man pondered for a while. It seemed that this woman had already made up her mind. Even if he had only known this woman for a short period of time, the man knew that the woman was not as cowardly and timid as ordinary women, who needed to survive on men.

She had her own thoughts and plans, and she was even very brave. She was clearly afraid, but she still dared to rush into the unknown door.

In any case, the man felt that he could no longer control this woman.

Although he found it interesting, she was also a little angry. After all, although this woman was different from other women, she was very stubborn. It would be almost impossible to make her practice swordsmanship with him instead of going in.

Thinking about that, the man raised his handsome and fair face, crossed his arms, and raised his burly and majestic upper body slightly. He stared at the woman’s eyes with a hint of coercion and said lightly, “I can accompany you in, but I will only enter one. Woman, my patience is limited, and I can’t play house with you here. As long as the other one doesn’t work, I must immediately return to practice my sword skills!”

Mu Yao understood him too. Besides, her greatest goal was to leave the cave. She would sacrifice herself if they had to lose something to get out.

Mu Yao then walked up to the sword art paintings on the wall and stood still for a while. With her back facing the man, she looked at the sword techniques and said blandly, “Okay.”

At the same time, Blood Pupil in one of the mirrors received a video message from his clone in the “Spring” mystery realm. Instantly, Blood Pupil’s eyes widened. “Damn it! She actually dared to barge into my sacrificial mystery realm! Isn’t this woman long dead? Also, isn’t the Netherworld Demon Lord bound by my chains?! That’s something that no one without spirit energy can break free from!”

Suddenly, the entire cave started shaking violently!

Behind the black shadow stone door that had the word “Summer” written on it, there was a series of earth-shattering tremors! Following this violent quake, the four stone statues in the entire cave were shattered to pieces by this quake, and gravel fell down.

Mu Yao was caught off guard and fell to the ground due to the sudden vibration. As she did not hold the silver sword properly, it was flung into the air and fell to the ground, almost slicing Mu Yao’s legs!

Without the silver sword on her, Mu Yao suddenly felt as if there was nothing on her body. She even felt as though her strength had run dry, and she couldn’t get up at all. As soon as she got up, she felt as if she had lost all its strength in her wrist.

The Blood Pupil in the mirror activated its spiritual power and remotely controlled the mystic realm.

As he struggled, the entire cave shook even more violently!

In a moment of desperation, Mu Yao held her breath as she fell to the ground, paralyzed.

The man immediately eased his posture. Although he did not have any spiritual power, he still had common martial arts skills and balance!

Rocks were falling from above the woman’s head due to the intense vibration. All of a sudden, a rock the size of a person fell!

Seeing this, the man rushed forward without thinking. Cleverly dodging the falling debris, he gritted his teeth and ran behind Mu Yao. He subconsciously hooked his arm around Mu Yao’s upper body from behind the woman’s frail body, and the two of them fell to the side.

Mu Yao felt the warmth coming from his chest. It seemed like no one had ever hugged her like this except her parents.

“Ouch!” The man cried out in pain as his broad back hit the ground.

Mu Yao fell into the man’s arms again. This was the second time she had such close contact with the man, and this was also the second time the man had saved her.

Mu Yao felt the world fall silent. All that remained were her five senses that sensed everything around her.

The man breathed slowly and warmly.

It was a strong and reliable embrace.

Suddenly, Mu Yao’s pupils contracted! She could feel the man’s lower body pressing against her!

Mu Yao immediately gave up on those warm thoughts and pushed the man beneath her with all her might as her face turned red.

Within the vibrating caves, a slender hand waved. A resounding slap sounded in the cave and a red mark appeared on the man’s face.

“You!” This time, Mu Yao was at a loss. She even started to stutter!

“Ah! Woman! How dare you hit me!” The man roared, a trace of anger flashing across his eyes!

Meanwhile, a loud explosion was heard from the palace outside the cave..
