“Then where is Lord Xie’s tribe? We can take you back.”

Seeing the smile appearing on Xie Cheng’s face, Ada hurriedly asked with a sincere and friendly look in his eyes: We’d better get this troublesome female out of here as soon as possible. After all, a precious female like this…

“I don’t have a tribe.”

Xie Cheng answered bluntly, raising his wrist to check the direction again.

“Ah? Then where is Lord Xie going? How did you get to the Misty Forest?”

Ada was surprised, clearly not believing what Xie Cheng had said.

“I’m just going for a walk in the deeper part of the forest.”

Xie Cheng replied casually, then took a step forward.

“Lord Xie, you can’t go there. If you go further, you’ll reach the heart of the Misty Forest.”

Ada anxiously flew in front of Xie Cheng to block his way.

Xie Cheng frowned. “I’m going to the heart of the Misty Forest. Take me there.”

He needed to hurry. The longer he waited, the more variables would come up. If an animal carried off the item, it would be a problem.

“No! You absolutely can’t go to the depths of the Misty Forest.”

Ada spoke with a stern tone, not backing down. The other Angel Tribe members lined up behind him, blocking Xie Cheng’s way.

“Why not?”

Xie Cheng asked. He had to go, and if they didn’t move, he would have no choice but to freeze them. Of course, he wouldn’t kill them. After all, they had helped him, and unless it was necessary, he usually didn’t take lives…

“There’s a demon in the depths of the Misty Forest,” Ada explained, with the others nodding in agreement. “Yes, yes, a demon…”

“Tch. You’re Angels, and you’re afraid of a demon?” Xie Cheng couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you kidding me?”

“…It’s not that we’re afraid… Our Angel Tribe never provokes it.”

Ada answered seriously. Xie Cheng could tell they didn’t understand what he meant, but he was too lazy to explain. However, he still had to go. Even if it meant going through fire and mountains, he had to—otherwise, Earth would face an immeasurable crisis.

After thinking for a moment, he spread his hands and spoke sincerely:

“Ada, I won’t provoke the demon. I won’t cause any trouble for you.”

“The deeper part of the Misty Forest is the demon’s territory.” Ada argued, “If you go there, you’ll be in danger. That’s why you can’t go.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Cheng couldn’t help but mock, “The demon’s territory? Aren’t you guys the masters of the Misty Forest?”

“Uh… There’s a place that belongs to the demon…” Ada blushed a bit awkwardly. They and the demon kept a neutral stance, avoiding each other.

“I’ll avoid the demon’s territory, just move aside. I’m in a hurry.”

Xie Cheng lost his patience, gathering energy in his left hand. The group of Angel Tribe members was lined up neatly, taking them down in one move shouldn’t be a problem.

Since the depths of the Misty Forest had a ruler, there shouldn’t be any other wild beasts. He just had to be careful not to provoke the master. These little ones were dispensable. Besides, he could feel his right hand slowly recovering, likely due to his own special powers…

“No! If Lord Xie insists, we’ll have to take you out of here.”

Ada frowned, his tone serious. No matter how strong Xie Cheng was, he was still a female who could not transform into a beast. It was too dangerous for a female to venture into the depths of the Misty Forest.

Even the bravest males from foreign tribes dared not go there. How could they allow such an outstanding female to risk it? Moreover, they hadn’t been to the depths of the Misty Forest for years. They didn’t even know what it was like now.

Xie Cheng bared his teeth with a menacing grin. “Take me out?”

Ada swallowed nervously and nodded.

“Yes. We’ll have to put you to sleep and take you out.”

Before Ada could finish speaking, Xie Cheng had already struck at lightning speed.

*Crack, crack, crack…*

In the blink of an eye, the fight was over. The Angel Tribe members were encased in a transparent ice dome, looking even more beautiful from within.

Xie Cheng left while he whistled and walked around them. He even waved and said goodbye. Inside the ice dome, Ada stared at him, wide-eyed in panic, but was powerless to do anything. He could only curse Xie Cheng for being such a rebellious female.

A female, going into the depths of the Misty Forest, would either be killed by the demon or torn apart by wild beasts. It was such a waste to even think about it.

The surrounding tribes all said that the demon in the depths of the Misty Forest despised female Beastmen. Xie Cheng going in would most likely lead to a bad end.
