Hey, you really are as cold as ice, Feng Yi sighed helplessly, his tone unusually grave, "Let's not talk about gratitude, this one's on me."

Mengdie's delicate ears twitched slightly, her footsteps hesitated, her black hair fluttered…

Feng Yi was not one to owe favors to others. He had wanted to say that she could come to him if she ever encountered trouble, but as he was about to speak, he couldn't help but want to tease the somewhat cold, somewhat gentle, and slightly bizarre yet cute silent girl, "A great kindness does not require words of thanks, henceforth you are my person. You can come to me if you have trouble—speaking of which, you're the prettiest girl I've ever met. A smile should be beautiful on you; why keep such a stern face all the time?"

Mengdie did not acknowledge the jerk at all, letting him say what he wanted without interruption, ignoring him entirely. Only after Feng Yi had run out of things to say did she finally perform the Dream Butterfly Escape and vanished like scattered flying saucers into oblivion…

Feng Yi was somewhat foolish, but he could see that the girl did not really dislike him; otherwise, she would have left long ago. Sometimes he couldn't fathom whether the other party was just playing games with him?

Feng Yi confirmed that Mengdie had truly left, not until the feeling of her presence had completely dissipated did he throw himself to the ground, his not-so-capable brain CPU rapidly calculating the other party's motives.

Firstly, there was no doubt that the Jade Clear Sect had been up to no good. In the beginning, they had imposed the Curse Seal on him without explanation, yet now they lured him to this desolate Loess Plateau, spoke some inexplicable and bizarre words, and handed him a detailed map of the Devil's Forest.

It was certain that his whereabouts had been exposed, although at what point was unknown. For these inscrutable Ancient Martial Arts sects, it might not be a difficult task, although his Spiritual Perception was no longer at its peak. Still, it surpassed that of ordinary people. Even he could detect some fluctuations, let alone ordinary soldiers. Therefore, it could be deduced that the Jade Clear Sect had already encountered the first thief and had somehow replaced him.

Secondly, why did the Jade Clear Sect deploy 500 inner disciples to draw maps overnight and give them to him? It seemed entirely unnecessary. Anyone else would hardly believe that those who previously meant him harm were now reaching out in goodwill, yet they offered him the grand gift of a map to Devil's Forest. If they wanted to harm him, they could simply use the military residence in the Blazing Flame to coerce him. Yet instead of making threats, they handed over the map and said a bunch of nonsensical things.

By the end, Feng Yi began to doubt if what he had seen was real...

There was no doubt that the old man's technique must have belonged to some kind of Yin-Yang Taoist art. The man also claimed that what he had seen was not real, but a phenomenon, something that had not happened yet. According to Feng Yi's modern perspective, it could be termed as a law of parallel universes. In other words, what he had been shown was something that had not occurred but was likely to happen in a few years.

As for why his own body was affected, that was the most mysterious key. Perhaps during the old man's Yin-Yang transition, that is, a few years later, he might already be dead or nearing death. Due to the interactive nature of the magnetic fields, the hidden dangers lurking inside him could be triggered by that timeline. Hence, he felt as if his blood and qi were boiling. To put it in ancient terms, it was like the 'internal energy deviation' mentioned in Jin Yong's novels, where the blood and qi were rebelling within his body.

Fortunately, the other party claimed it wasn't real, just a highly probable scenario. The man did not wish to reveal more secrets of fate, and his so-called deal clearly aimed to change his destiny against the heavens, which Feng Yi flatly rejected with his statement that he did not fear death, nor was he in a hurry to seek it.

In fact, all the above was not what really concerned Feng Yi; what puzzled him most was what the man had mentioned about the world undergoing a major change. Humanity might face a crisis due to viruses, disasters, or epidemics? He also mentioned that humans might step out of the Galaxy.

To know the vastness of the Galaxy, humanity has not yet ventured beyond the Galaxy's spiral arms, merely moving within the scope of light-years. The micro black holes hidden within the Galaxy are far more numerous than they appear. Due to the mysterious effect of the energy magnetic field, some black holes cannot be detected even with gravity detection devices, which is also a major limiting factor preventing humans from venturing further.

What kind of changes will the world experience? These unanswered mysteries filled Feng Yi with a sense of unresolved curiosity.

Forget it, now isn't the time to think about these macro issues. After all, it's good to have a rich imagination, but reality is too harsh. While you're dreaming of how to save the world and humanity, perhaps it's better to consider some personal issues as well, like how to resolve the next meal of instant noodles or how to continue the next battle.

The more Feng Yi thought about it, the more his head ached. He vigorously shook his head, muttering to himself, "Forget it, I won't consider all this anymore. After obtaining the detailed map, dealing with the Saudi military's mission in the Devil's Forest is the top priority right now." With that thought in mind, Feng Yi struggled into the scout craft's cabin where, with the activation of the C device, a series of pleasant electronic prompt tones sounded.

"Intelligence system awaiting your instructions."

Feng Yi said weakly, "Set to NO autonomous navigation mode, security intelligence level 5, return coordinates XXX."
