"What's wrong? Don't want people to see this woman named Christina?"

Gongsun Ruyan gave a seductive smile and said with a meaningful tone.

"Uh..."

Yang Yan dared not respond to this topic.

There were many women in the Hidden World who admired him, but Yang Yan kept a certain distance from most of them.

Because once people are part of the Hidden World, they are basically up to no good.

This included Yang Yan himself.

The reason he didn't want to have any entanglements with these women was that he didn't want his future to be filled with deceit and betrayal.

After all, it's often hard to tell whether the other party is sincere or deceitful.

Of course, there are very few exceptions.

For example, Zhuge Wushuang.

For example, Mu Qingcheng.

And for example, the woman in front of him.

"Anyway, let's hurry up and go! The Aconite is about to bloom, and the ceremony over there is probably about to begin too."

"Every time I think about werewolves going wild over there, I get inexplicably excited."

Yang Yan casually pulled a topic to talk about.

"Hehe..."

Gongsun Ruyan suddenly laughed:

"Legend has it that even the pure-hearted, those who pray at night, may inevitably transform into wolves under the full moon when Aconite blooms."

"Who knows if it's true! After all, compared to vampires, werewolves are even rarer!"

Yang Yan also laughed and said:

"There may be fewer werewolves, but they're not completely unseen."

"It's just that most of them aren't very powerful."

"To put it bluntly, their status in the Hidden World is almost at the subsistence level."

"As for the ridiculously strong werewolves, the ones I know are basically from the Silver Moon Race."

Gongsun Ruyan teased and said:

"I wonder if your little lover is one of them?"

"I heard from Juechen that you taught that woman named Christina for quite a while!"

Embarrassed by Gongsun Ruyan's teasing, Yang Yan quickly shifted the topic:

"Compared to you, she's far behind. But now's not the time to discuss this."

"According to the information from the Heaven and Earth Society, those black-robed people might be involved in their clan's rebellion this time."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ruyan fell silent.

Those black-robed people had mysterious origins, but their members were quite strong.

Even the Titled Powerhouses, rare in the outside world, were not few among them.

Faced with such an enemy, even Gongsun Ruyan and others had to be extremely cautious.

"Honestly, King, it's not that I'm saying anything, but I really don't understand why we should confront those guys head-on."

"If it's just for Sun's wife's remains, I believe if you showed up, they wouldn't ignore your request."

Gongsun Ruyan had already put away her smile and spoke slowly.

"Is this your idea or the idea of the Ten Swords?"

Yang Yan turned to look at Gongsun Ruyan and asked seriously.

Gongsun Ruyan gave a bitter laugh:

"This is just my personal thought. Of course, I don't mean to question your decision."

"It's just that I don't understand why you want to do this."

Yang Yan was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a bit before gently saying two words:

"Instinct!"

Gongsun Ruyan was slightly startled, looking at Yang Yan with a bit of confusion, obviously waiting for his explanation.

Yang Yan gave a faint smile, looked into the distance, and said slowly:

"From the first time I met those guys, I instinctively rejected them!"

"Of course, that's not the reason for a fight to the death with them."

"The real reason I planned to fight them to the end was when I learned that Sun's death might be related to them."

"I think you should understand what Sun means to me."

When he said this, Yang Yan's tone clearly became heavier.

Seeing Yang Yan's demeanor, Gongsun Ruyan's eyes darkened and she finally remained silent.

Although she disapproved of Yang Yan's unwise decision, what Yang Yan wanted was the direction indicated by the Ten Swords' blade.

"Awoo..."

Just as both of them fell silent, a howling wolf cry came from the distant mountains.

"Let's go! It seems the other side is about to start. Fortunately, we aren't too late."

"I'll say this, Xiaocao really needs to strengthen the intelligence network!"

"We've been late knowing about many things recently, feeling somewhat passive."

Yang Yan suddenly said half-jokingly.

"Hehe! Xiaocao heard that, you know!"

Gongsun Ruyan laughed, teasingly said:

"When she gets back, she'll likely start whipping her people into action again."

"But you can't blame her. How long have we been in the Hidden World?"

"Our foundation is still lacking, naturally, we can't compare to those old forces with deep roots and wide branches."

The small town appearing in front of them was a standard Western town.

The people here seemed to still be in a relatively backward social environment.

Of course, maybe these people were accustomed to such a pastoral lifestyle, falling asleep as night fell.

Yang Yan and Gongsun Ruyan walked through the town, seeing no one except for the dim streetlights.

"So quiet!"

Yang Yan looked at the surrounding streetlights and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's too quiet! Quiet to the point it's a bit frightening."

Gongsun Ruyan also laughed along with him.

Since the two had set foot in this town, Gongsun Ruyan had been observing her surroundings.

Hearing Yang Yan's comment, Gongsun Ruyan echoed while slowly pulling out an ancient-looking book.

She gently opened the first page.

"Can I kill them?"

Gongsun Ruyan asked nonchalantly:

"Didn't you say werewolves are rare? I'm worried if I just kill freely, it might cause trouble for your little lover."

Yang Yan exaggeratedly rolled his eyes and said in annoyance:

"You're not Wushuang, where are you getting all this killing intent! These instinct-driven creatures can't pose a threat to us, right?"

"As long as they don't attack us, just let them be."

Just as Yang Yan and Gongsun Ruyan were conversing openly, numerous large figures suddenly appeared on the rooftops around them.

Looking at these werewolves, each at least two meters tall, covered in black fur, baring fangs ready to attack, Yang Yan and Gongsun Ruyan exchanged a quick glance.

Their smiles became even brighter.
