Nangong Chu looked at the Pear Garden that he had taken good care of for more than three thousand years, and also slowly walked in, with a relieved smile on his face, "Indeed, three thousand years!"

Hearing Nangong Chu's words, Shui Qinan sighed in her heart. She knew the meaning behind Nan Gong's words, Nangong Chu was always like a guardian, she had no rules and she came and went as she pleased, just like three thousand years ago when she left without leaving a single word behind.

"You …" It was the first time that she saw Nangong Chu, who looked like a middle-aged man. Although that wasn't his original appearance, right now … He had actually returned to his previous appearance.

"Since you've returned, I went to retrieve my body as well. After all, I cannot fully utilize a mortal's body. Only then will I be able to truly help you." Nangong Chu said gently.

"Nangong, thank you for all these years!" Thank you for always taking care of me in that small world. Shui Qinan sincerely wanted to thank Nangong Chu.

Regarding Shui Qinan's thanks, Nangong Chu was a little surprised. Seeing that she was still admiring the flowers, Nangong Chu smiled as he understood and turned his head away from looking at the pear blossoms.

The two of them quietly stayed in Pear Garden for a while, "You came this time for a reason, right?" Nangong Chu looked at Pear Blossom, a hint of worry flashing across his eyes.

"Those who know me well, Nangong as well!" Shui Qinan looked at Nangong Chu, who had a calm expression, and said with a smile, "I need the Flaming Cloud Beast's crystal core, but I don't know where it is."

Nangong Chu knew that Shui Qinan was looking for the Flaming Cloud Beast, but he was still shocked in his heart. Even he did not have the ability to subdue the Flaming Cloud Beast, given Shui Qinan's current level, he would simply be courting death. Nangong Chu said angrily, "Stop messing around! I won't tell you! " Nangong Chu looked at Shui Qinan with an angry expression. In his heart, he didn't want her to take any more risks.

"I must go. Nangong, you should know who I am. The matter I've decided on will not change!" Shui Qinan looked at Nangong Chu with a determined gaze. Nangong Chu saw his own reflection in Shui Qinan's clear eyes and laughed weakly in his heart. He clearly knew her temper. In his previous life, he hadn't stopped her once, but from the looks of it, he still couldn't do it in this life. This was the witch he was willing to follow!

"Alright, I understand! The Flaming Cloud Beast is extremely fierce, you cannot catch it right now, I will go with you, this is my retreat! " Nangong Chu said somewhat helplessly. In fact, he was one of the witch's subordinates back then, and after a while, he and her became friends.

Seeing Nangong Chu's resolute expression, Shui Qinan knew that he wouldn't be able to change his mind, and could only nod her head in agreement.

Seeing that Shui Qinan agreed, Nangong Chu then said, "I have seen the Flaming Cloud Beast at the bottom of this island before, if my guess is not wrong, it has not left yet!"

Shui Qinan was a little astonished. She did not think that the Flaming Cloud Beast would actually be by her side, in the ocean beneath her feet.

"Follow me." Nangong Chu took a glance at Shui Qinan before his body quickly turned into a shadow and disappeared from the Pear Garden. Shui Qinan quickly followed suit and disappeared from the Pear Garden as well.

Nangong Chu brought Shui Qinan out of the island's enchantment unimpeded, and the two of them floated in the sea at the southwest corner of the island. Nangong Chu pointed to a slightly white reef below them, "That's the entrance!"

It turned out that the man from the demon world had flipped the sea surface, but because they had stopped him, half of the cities and towns were at the bottom of the sea.

Shui Qinan looked at it as she carefully sized it up. When Shui Qinan saw Nangong Chu quickly enter the ocean, it seemed as if something had cut a gap in the ocean water that could only fit one person. Shui Qinan withdrew her doubts and jumped down.

After entering the ocean, Shui Qinan first found Nangong Chu standing at the entrance to wait for her. Secondly, what surprised Shui Qinan was that he could still breathe freely underwater.

Nangong Chu seemed to understand her doubt and explained, "Maybe it's because of what the man from the demon realm did. A part of this broken city that had sunk into the sea was protected by a strong barrier that prevented even the ocean water from breaking through."

Shui Qinan finally understood that she had become slightly interested in this town that had sunk into the sea. Shui Qinan and Nangong Chu were walking on the road in the town. Although this was the reverse of nature and heaven, they were still able to walk on land.

Shui Qinan looked at this desolate town without a soul in sight, the houses were still as new as before. Shui Qinan looked at the mask of a year old doll that Xiao You had played with before, and only wanted to touch it, but just as her fingers touched it, it turned into a pile of white ashes and disappeared. It was only then that Shui Qinan realized the strangeness of this city. Perhaps there was something that supported this world.

Nangong Chu naturally saw this scene, and the expression in his eyes dimmed a little. Suddenly, Shui Qinan discovered a cluster of red light at the north side of the town. Shui Qinan felt that this was probably the Flaming Cloud Beast that she was looking for. Shui Qinan and Nangong Chu looked at each other, then quickly rushed towards the north.

When the two of them arrived, they found themselves in a forest. The Flaming Cloud Beast s had these fine cloud patterns on their red bodies, and their entire bodies were faintly emitting flames. The forest in front of them might have changed due to it, but every tree seemed to have an eternal flame.

Shui Qinan and Nangong Chu looked at each other with concern. They could see from each other's eyes that they were in trouble. The Flaming Cloud Beast also seemed to know that someone had invaded its territory. It hid within the forest and looked at the two weak humans with unfriendly eyes, giving them a disdainful snort.

Shui Qinan saw that it was snorting disdainfully, and a small spark came out of its nose. Shui Qinan didn't mind that it would make the best use of this method, since she had a bit more confidence in winning. However, Shui Qinan was somewhat suspicious that this Flaming Cloud Beast seemed to be extremely unwilling to leave the place where it was standing, and its body was even intentionally blocking their line of sight.

Shui Qinan gave Nangong Chu a look, and Nangong Chu immediately caught the attention of the Flaming Cloud Beast. The moment the Flaming Cloud Beast stood up, Shui Qinan was shocked to see that the Flaming Cloud Beast was actually guarding a strange flame.

The bottom of the sea was already surprising to it. The trees that glowed with fire had even seen the first trace of fire between heaven and earth that was fought for by the world. No wonder no one was able to find it, it was at the bottom of the sea!
