What!?!

"What the hell are you doing? Release me now, release meeeee..."

Whooooooosh!!!

Ah!

"Shut up, stupid human! If you keep yelling like this, you definitely won't survive for three months!" Before Zheng-Fu could finish shouting, Hu-Tai-Min's immense pressure wave, hard to resist, pressed against his body as Hu-Tai-Min warned him to stop yelling.

"Then why should I trust your words? Earlier, you tried to chase me away from this secret land. How can I believe you?" Although Hu-Tai-Min's words and gestures seemed serious and honest, Zheng-Fu still couldn't fully trust him.

"Whether you will believe me or not, it's up to you! But for now, we must escape from this place first. If we stay here, both you and I could be killed by it!" Hu-Tai-Min completely disregarded Zheng-Fu's doubts. His priority was to get Zheng-Fu out of the area, as lingering could bring disaster not only to them but also to his race.

Whoosh!!!

Fifteen minutes passed...

Thud!

"Oh!"

Ouch!!!

"Can't you put me down more gently!?"

After fifteen minutes, they finally escaped the range of the earlier roaring creature. Upon arriving at an open field within the dense forest, Hu-Tai-Min carelessly threw Zheng-Fu to the ground, causing him to land harshly.

Huh!

"You can't even bear this! Humans are really weak!"

"Weak my foot! You threw me to the ground without warning. Who would be ready for that?"

"So what? Who cares! If something like this is too much for you, don't even think about getting stronger! Although we, the Savage Fire Tiger Race, don't hate humans, it's not like we like you either. I helped you not because I wanted to, but because you were going to bring misfortune to us!"

Hu-Tai-Min spoke with an expressionless face. Every word he said was true, though he didn't admit to feeling a strange sense of familiarity with Zheng-Fu.

"I'm the same. Do you think I really like you!? If it weren't for you looking similar to my Hu-Jin-Tian and Hu-Bai, his mother, I'd never..."

Blop!

Argh!!!

"What did you just say!? Hu-Jin-Tian and Hu-Bai look like me? You said that, right? Where are they? Can they turn into humans like me? And can they…"

Argh…

AAAAAH!!!

Booooooom!!!

Before Hu-Tai-Min could finish his questions, Zheng-Fu's internal energy wave exploded, forcing Hu-Tai-Min to release his grip on Zheng-Fu's neck. Zheng-Fu could breathe again, though his condition was poor.

"If you want to ask, ask nicely! There's no need to handle me like that. Ptui! Damn it, I almost died from suffocation!" Zheng-Fu angrily cursed, spitting on the ground. If he hadn't unleashed all his energy to counter Hu-Tai-Min's pressure and force an energy explosion, he would have suffocated to death.

Huh!

"Answer my questions!! If you still want to live, answer everything I asked without telling a single lie!" However, Hu-Tai-Min completely ignored Zheng-Fu's curses. He was determined to get answers from Zheng-Fu and was particularly eager to know more about Jin-Tian and his mother.

Tch!

"Do you think you can threaten me? What will you do if I don't answer you? Kill me? Go ahead! But if you kill me, you'll never learn anything about the two of them. So, go ahead! Kill me now! Do it!"

Zheng-Fu also ignored Hu-Tai-Min's threats. He believed the other party wouldn't dare harm him, especially if he truly wanted the information. Zheng-Fu thought that if Hu-Tai-Min genuinely sought answers, he wouldn't take the risk of silencing him.

Sigh!!!

"Fine, human! This time, it was my fault. I'm sorry for handling you like that. Now, tell me about Hu-Jin-Tian and Hu-Bai you mentioned earlier."

As Zheng-Fu expected, Hu-Tai-Min eased his pressure and temper, even apologizing, before calmly asking his questions again.

"If we had spoken nicely from the start, it wouldn't have been this difficult. I also want to know why you look so similar to them! Well, actually, here's the story…"

Once Hu-Tai-Min lowered his voice and mood, Zheng-Fu felt more at ease. He began telling him the story, as he suspected that both Jin-Tian and Hu-Bai might be spirit monsters from the Savage Fire Tiger Race.

Ten minutes passed...

"It's really you! It's really you guys!" After Hu-Tai-Min heard Zheng-Fu's story about Jin-Tian and Hu-Bai, his eyes suddenly filled with tears that slowly streamed down. He was certain that both of them were his wife and child, who had been separated from him.

"Don't tell me you're Jin-Tian's father and Hu-Bai's husband!!?" Zheng-Fu exclaimed loudly as he suddenly realized the truth.

"That's right! Hu-Bai, whom you mentioned, is my wife. As for Jin-Tian, he would be my son. When we were separated, she was pregnant. How are the two of them now?" Hu-Tai-Min nodded, confirming Zheng-Fu's suspicion.

"Now… Hu-Bai is fine, but Jin-Tian is… He… he's dead!" Zheng-Fu struggled to speak about Jin-Tian's fate, his heart heavy with pain.

"Huh!!? My son is dead!!! Who killed my son?" Hearing that Jin-Tian was dead, Hu-Tai-Min's anger erupted fiercely.

"The one who killed Jin-Tian is the Demon Emperor, who is now in this main world as well. He resides in the Heavenly Lotus Devil Sect, though I don't know its exact location. But soon, I'll take revenge for Jin-Tian and my wife!" Zheng-Fu responded with a similar fury toward the Demon Emperor. However, he knew that he was too weak to take revenge now and needed to grow stronger first.

"The bastard who killed my son—I'll never let him go! Human, take me to the Heavenly Lotus Devil Sect right now. I'll kill him to avenge my son!" Hu-Tai-Min demanded, ignoring Zheng-Fu's claim that he didn't know the sect's location.

"I already told you that I don't know where it is. Besides, with our current energy levels, don't even think about stepping inside that sect. We might not even survive at the entrance. From what I sensed, you have energy comparable only to the first level of a Deity Soul stage cultivator. How can you fight the advanced-stage devils of the Heavenly Lotus Devil Sect? For now, we can only wait. I believe the day for revenge will come soon!" Zheng-Fu immediately replied, explaining the situation to Hu-Tai-Min. Although Zheng-Fu was guessing Hu-Tai-Min's energy level, he believed it wasn't far off.

"Huh? You know my energy level? You're just a human with an energy level at the initial Heavenly Foundation Building stage, yet you can sense my energy? That's extraordinary!" Hu-Tai-Min exclaimed in surprise, then continued in a calmer tone. "Sigh! I've always been reasonable, but hearing about my son's death made me lose control. Now that I've listened to your reasoning, I've regained my sanity. I'll put revenge aside for now. Instead, I'll help you grow stronger! Follow me."

Hu-Tai-Min quickly composed himself and decided to help Zheng-Fu increase his energy level.

"Huh? You'll really help me become stronger? How?" Zheng-Fu hesitated, unsure whether to trust the spirit monster.

"You'll know soon enough. Just follow me. But if you don't want to grow stronger, you can stay here and make the most of the three months you have. Survive on your own!" Hu-Tai-Min refused to elaborate, leaving Zheng-Fu to decide whether to follow him.

Although Zheng-Fu wanted to become stronger, he harbored some doubts. However, he decided to trust Hu-Tai-Min partially, believing that as Jin-Tian's father, he might genuinely want to help.

"All right! I'll agree to follow you."

"Good! Then follow me. The place we're going is far from here. We must hurry and get there before dark. Otherwise, the surrounding area will be filled with advanced-stage spirit monsters!" When Zheng-Fu decided to follow, Hu-Tai-Min smiled before telling him to hurry and keep up. He warned that if they arrived late, the place he was about to take Zheng-Fu to would be filled with numerous spirit monsters.

Hmm!

Whoosh!!!

Whoosh!!!

The two soared through trees and open spaces, passing by many low-stage spirit monsters. However, none dared attack them with Hu-Tai-Min present. He explained that the path they were taking was the safest zone, though it was also the longest route.

"Wow!!! Is that a Dragon Scale Sprout that's over ten thousand years old? I have to collect it!"

"Ah! Ten-thousand-year-old Seven-layered Flame Flower! Five-thousand-year-old Five-layered Flame Flower! And a thousand-year-old Three-layered Flame Flower! This must be a grove of herbs. With these, I can concoct Burned-Heart Flame Divine Pills, sixth-level medicine!"

Zheng-Fu's face lit up with joy upon spotting these rare medicinal herbs. They were ingredients for sixth- and seventh-level medicines like the Burned-Heart Flame Divine Pill and Pure Flame Divine Pill, which could help cultivators with fire elemental energy cultivate faster. He thought about giving them to Chang-Yue after leaving the secret land.

"Quickly, human!"

"Ah!!!"
