Pouring his power into the Spring Pearl, Zhao Fu made it emit an invisible suction force that drew all the spring water from the pool below into the pearl. After absorbing the pool's water, the watery glow radiating from the Spring Pearl became increasingly captivating.
Zhao Fu smiled in satisfaction, carefully put away the Spring Pearl, and continued toward the center of the dangerous land.
At the center of the dangerous land were none of those savage, terrifying brambles. Green grass spread out like a lush carpet, dotted with unknown little wildflowers. Beside it stood a small stretch of dense woods, and a little stream gurgled along. The sky was very blue, with several cotton-like white clouds drifting through it.
Zhao Fu found the scenery before him beautiful, and it did not seem dangerous at all, which made him feel somewhat puzzled. By all reason, the center of a dangerous land should have been the most perilous place.
Though everything was so tranquil and peaceful, Zhao Fu still cautiously investigated his surroundings. Before long, he unexpectedly spotted someone familiar ahead. She wore blood-red robes, had a graceful figure, long blood-colored hair, and an exquisitely beautiful face—far lovelier than any fairy.
She was Tuoba Qing, who had vanished long ago—the woman who had given Zhao Fu an Origin Mark, and also the first woman Zhao Fu had ever touched.
Zhao Fu had not expected to meet her here. A faint smile appeared on his face as he walked forward and called out, "Little Qing!"
Tuoba Qing slowly turned her head, threw herself into Zhao Fu's arms, and revealed a beautiful smile. In a gentle voice, she said, "Husband! Why have you come here?"
Smiling, Zhao Fu briefly explained what had just happened and his purpose for coming to the Otherworld Region.
