"No, our benefactor is from the Three Thousand Dao Realms," Hei Chang explained.
"Your benefactor?"
Yan Sheng looked at Hei Chang. "He saved you?"
Hei Chang smiled bitterly. "He's more than a benefactor. Without him, Junior Sister Bai and I would already be a pile of bones."
Yan Sheng drew a deep breath, walked up to Hua Yunfei, and held out his hand. "Hello. My name is Yan Sheng. I'm from the Yan Household in the Dark World, and I'm an old friend of Brother Hei. Since you're his benefactor, you're mine as well."
Hua Yunfei shook his hand with a smile. "There's no need to be so formal."
Yan Sheng said earnestly, "It's only right. If you ever need help, just say the word."
Hua Yunfei stopped being polite. "All right. If I need help, I'll ask."
Hei Chang stepped forward and put an arm around Yan Sheng's shoulder. "Since you're here, Brother Yan, why don't you come back to the Dark World with us? Little Black has a big enough head that the four of you can stand on it without feeling cramped."
Yan Sheng was startled. "Brother Hei, have you already found a passage to the Dark World?"
Hei Chang shook his head. "No, but we have an advantage others don't."
As he spoke, he pointed at Little Black.
"The Blood Beast..." Yan Sheng and the three Yan brothers behind him quickly understood what Hei Chang meant.
"Brother Hei, you're brilliant! Right, why didn't I think of that? The Blood Beasts can help us find a passage. They've lived in the Undying River all this time, so they must know where one is."
Yan Sheng burst into laughter, clearly delighted.
The other three Yan brothers smiled too.
