"Dean Liu, do you know where the road into Sunset Forest from the Star Luo Empire is?" Cao De asked.
"I do." Liu Erlong nodded.
"Then sorry for the trouble, Dean Liu. Please lead the way," Cao De said with a smile.
Liu Erlong said nothing more and strode ahead to lead the way. Cao De, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er followed behind her.
Shadow concealed herself in the shadows once again.
The brimming-with-energy Huo Wu could hardly stand a quiet journey. Pointing at a large tree, she said to Shui Bing'er beside her, "Bing'er, look! What are those two squirrels doing up there?"
Shui Bing'er looked where she indicated. The two squirrels were sprawled one on top of the other, doing something shameful.
"Huo Wu, what on earth goes on in that head of yours?" Shui Bing'er said irritably.
Liu Erlong and Cao De looked as well, their expressions completely different. Amusement gleamed in Cao De's eyes.
Liu Erlong, however, was a woman who had never even held a man's hand, and her expression immediately turned awkward.
Her pace quickened as well. Looking at her retreating figure, Cao De thought, Erlong, who battered that Cloud Fox Bat, actually got embarrassed at the sight of two little squirrels.
Before long, Liu Erlong led Cao De and the others out of Sunset Forest.
The carriage was already waiting nearby, but the driver stood a considerable distance away.
Seeing Cao De and the others emerge, the driver hurried forward and bowed. "Greetings, Holy Son."
"Where's Shui'er?" Cao De asked.
The driver reported honestly, "Miss Shui'er said she was a little tired and went to sleep in the carriage. She told me to keep watch from a distance."
Cao De nodded. "Then ride back to Heaven Dou City in my carriage, Dean Liu.
