Thinking of that earth-shattering scene, Su Chen couldn't help but show a look of longing. Ghost Howl had his back to him, looking at the bustling streets of Nadas City outside the window, and said lightly, "Now that the special training is over and the goat scrolls are in hand, I think it's time for us to leave here."

"Ah?"

Su Chen was taken aback, his tone clearly surprised, but after the surprise, a wave of regret rose in his heart.

How could he react like this in front of Ghost Howl?

"Yes... yes, it's time to leave, but..."

"But what?"

Ghost Howl's tone was very calm.

"Can I stay in the Golden Wind Empire for a while longer?"

Even facing Dark Heaven, Su Chen didn't feel this uneasy before. He thought to himself, when you need something from someone, how can you not lower yourself?

"Is there something you need to do?"

Ghost Howl finally turned around, his face cold, seemingly with a hint of deeper meaning.

Su Chen didn't dare to meet that piercing gaze and slightly lowered his head, "I need to make a trip to Muni City."

"For what?"

"Well... can I not tell you?"

Ghost Howl snorted softly, his lips curling slightly in disdain, "You met someone in the Forest of Death."

"How did you know?"

Su Chen was shocked!

"Because of this person, you need to go to Muni City."

Ghost Howl continued to reveal.

Su Chen was so shocked his jaw dropped, yet he heard Ghost Howl continue, "It's a woman, and she accompanied you back to the inn..."

Su Chen felt like dying.

Suddenly, Ghost Howl laughed, and it wasn't a cold laugh. The curve of his lips was so graceful that Su Chen was stunned immediately.

He laughed? This Death God-like cold Blood Sect man actually laughed with no coldness at all?

"What? Did I guess your secret and now you're uneasy?"

The smile lingered for only two seconds before disappearing from Ghost Howl's chiseled face, yet his tone still carried a rare hint of teasing.

Su Chen swallowed, nodded, "I'm quite shocked, but... how did you know all this? Is your power so strong that you can see through everything about me?"

Ghost Howl, hands behind his back, slowly walked to the table, shaking his head, "Actually, I learned it from this letter."

It was like a blow to the head for Su Chen. He immediately took the letter and opened it. His facial expression was as vivid as it could be.

It turned out that everything happening to him was reported to Ghost Howl by someone from the Siger family through a letter. Su Chen gritted his teeth secretly, thinking, no wonder he wasn't surprised when I advanced to Four-star Beast Master, he already knew, damn it!

Thinking of this, his confidence somehow grew, with a bit of defiance, "Since you knew everything, playing riddles with me is truly not your style."

Ghost Howl smiled faintly, deeply, "If you want people not to know, you mustn't do it. If you have no ulterior motives, why worry about me knowing these things."

"I have no ulterior motives."

Su Chen said embarrassedly, "If I had ulterior motives, I would have run away on the way back, no need coming here to find you?"

Hearing his tone rather aggrieved, Ghost Howl ignored it, calmly said, "I only said 'if,' you don't need to be too excited."

Su Chen snorted, "Enough about that, I really have something to do in Muni City. I hope you can wait for me a while longer."

"How long is a 'while'?"

Ghost Howl squinted at him.

"About ten days."

Su Chen's eyes dodged a bit. This time wasn't that long, but staying in an unfamiliar place so long was still excruciating. More so, asking for waiting was to the cold-blooded Ghost Howl.

"And if you take the opportunity to run, what should I bring back to the Sect Leader as explanation?"

Ghost Howl said lightly.

"I promise not to run, I'll come back immediately after finishing my business."

Su Chen firmly stated, seeing no response from Ghost Howl, his mind suddenly sparked with an idea!

"Look, I'll give this to you, won't you now believe in my sincerity?"

He suddenly handed something to Ghost Howl, who had his back turned.

"Hmm?"

Ghost Howl frowned, slowly turned around, but when he saw what Su Chen held, his face, just forming a suspicious expression, froze on the spot!

"The goat parchment?"

Hands trembling as he took the goat parchment, Ghost Howl's usually single-expression face showed unspeakable astonishment, truly feeling the familiar texture similar to the previous piece of parchment, a tide of joy swelling within him.

Coming out, he ended up getting two pieces of goat parchment!

You should know, the map to the Divine-Demon Ruins consists of merely seven fragmented pieces of goat parchment, and these two exceptionally important pieces, took altogether less than a month!

Ghost Howl even began calculating the time required to get the other five pieces of goat parchment, and the expression Mo Yue might have when he saw his haul this time.

Clutching the parchment tightly, he looked at Su Chen with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

This boy has experienced too many miracles. So many that even he doesn't know whether to call them miracles. At the age of twelve, successfully bonded with the Blood Sect's second-to-the-Sect-Leader treasure, the Ring of Blood Demon; with extremely low Beast Cultivator level, intimidated all dark bone dragons and dark witch demons in Luoji Mountain; endured the Bone-Devouring Heart-Eating Ant's excruciating bites with incredible tenacity; faced the perilous first two stages of Bloody Heaven in two days with a frail body; demonstrated the audacity of a rookie calf in the Forest of Death special training tournament filled with talents, ascending eight stars, helping the Siger family claim a long-awaited first place; repelled three strong individuals from the Dark Sanctuary while critically injured with unbelievable performance; aided himself in acquiring the second piece of goat parchment in a short time due to extraordinary luck, all these miracles strung together, compose this astounding oriental boy.

Ghost Howl shook his head, dispelling that rare disquiet within, slowly said, "If that's the case... then I'll wait for you in Nadas City for ten more days."

Su Chen was overjoyed, almost embraced him in excitement, but seeing Ghost Howl's aloof look, he held back, "Thank you!"

Ghost Howl put the goat parchment away, returned to the bedside, and sat leisurely, "Your contributions to the Blood Sect far exceed the value of waiting for ten days. However, I must remind you, Muni City is not Nadas City, without me by your side, be very careful yourself..."

Su Chen responded with a nod, walking towards the door, "It's still early, I'll go out for a stroll!"

Watching his departing back, Ghost Howl shook his head again, but a faint satisfaction surfaced slowly on that cold handsome face. Although he's never directly praised Su Chen, the potential shown by Su Chen made him deeply appreciate it. He suddenly grew expectant, wondering what kind of shocking tempest this boy might stir on the Profound Cyan Continent...

Summoning the Phoenix, he left the inn and emerged onto the bustling streets of Nadas City. Granted permission, Su Chen's mood was joyful, and the shadow Siger Hughes brought seemed to clear unknowingly.

The two left the city gates, strolling along a moat outside the city. At dusk, the sunset's afterglow spilled over the moat, like a beautiful layer of golden sand. Walking side by side, their figures projected in harmony onto the moat.

The evening breeze was gentle and pleasant, blowing through the woods outside the city, bringing a wave of green. Su Chen turned to look at the Phoenix, the woman bathed in the sunset afterglow, her long hair tied in a phoenix chignon, gathered behind her graceful back, her delicate fair face with perfect features, looked like a piece of art. And her exquisite figure, a slender waist not an armful, inviting curves.

Truly a beauty that one couldn't breathe before.

Noticing Su Chen's warm gaze, Phoenix blushed, her lustrous eyes glancing at him with slight annoyance, lips gently parted, "What are you looking at, dummy."

"Uh..."

Su Chen stammered, awkwardly rubbing his head, "Nothing."

"Liar."

Phoenix's lips curled in a hint of irritation.

Su Chen laughed dryly twice, "Well... actually today... is my birthday."
