Jin Yan was furious, "You're all attacking indiscriminately! What does this have to do with me? Fight amongst yourselves, don't bring your bad luck to me."
"If you don't want to attract bad luck, then stop doing things that invite trouble," Yu Yuan looked at Jin Yan. "Besides, do you think I don't know you're the one who brought them here? I can never have a moment's peace."
Jin Yan was momentarily speechless, but he still touched his nose and stubbornly argued, "Nonsense, how did I bring them? They came looking for me, alright? It's because you bullied Yan Hua's tail."
"Can you stop calling it that? I've told you I hate it," Chen Xi poked his head over from the side.
Jin Yan shot him a cold glance, "Coward."
Yu Yuan retorted, "You're not a coward, but you're a scumbag. Didn't I tell you I don't want anyone knowing my whereabouts? If you dare to expose me, you'll be dead. What did you promise me before, and what are you doing now?"
"Say that again!" Jin Yan slammed his palm on the table, shattering it.
"I'll say it eight more times!" Yu Yuan turned back.
Yan Hua waved his hand, throwing all the shattered table pieces away, and conjured a new table in front of himself. He tapped it lightly with his index finger, "Don't change the subject. Yu Yuan, why do you always bully and humiliate Chen Xi? How many times has this happened?"
His tone was neither light nor heavy as he asked this, but his expression was cold, clearly settling accounts.
Yu Yuan looked at Yan Hua. Although he was somewhat in the wrong, he didn't take it seriously. "Are you talking about that judgment spell on Chen Xi? I did mock him a bit, but wasn't I right?"
He looked at Chen Xi, who stood beside Yan Hua, Qi Yu, and Si Qing, with a half-smile. "A Dragon Clan member, and an Ancestral Dragon at that, yet you can only use such a low-level spell. Without your dragon features, what's the difference between you and those succubi or charm cultivators in the eyes of outsiders?"
"You can't blame me for this, can you?" Chen Xi was furious. "I don't want to either, but my innate attributes are like this. What can I do? Besides, how powerful are you?"
Qi Yu, who had been observing the argument for a long time, suddenly realized Chen Xi was quite cunning.
No matter who he argued with, he always stood behind or beside Yan Hua.
He was constantly prepared to be protected.
Yan Hua looked at Yu Yuan. "Say less of those unnecessary words. No matter what kind of spell it is, at the very least, one should leave some room for maneuver when speaking and acting. You say Chen Xi's spell is low-level, but what about yours? How advanced is it?"
Yu Yuan's expression changed as if Yan Hua had hit a sore spot. His expression was unpleasant, but surprisingly, he didn't retort further.
Qi Yu and Si Qing exchanged glances. Neither of them wanted to stay and watch the four of them argue any longer.
So, they quietly retreated, hand in hand, preparing to slip away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they took a step, both Yan Hua and Yu Yuan grabbed them back.
"Ouch," Qi Yu was held in Yan Hua's hand.
Si Qing was held by Yu Yuan and then tossed aside.
Yan Hua frowned, "It's very dangerous here, don't wander off."
"Little brat, wander off, and you might not even know how you died," Yu Yuan lectured Si Qing.
Qi Yu and Si Qing both pouted.
They were about to say that the place looked spacious, and the surroundings were flat, with endless grasslands. Even if they ran far away, where could they get lost?
They could be seen at a glance.
However, before they could voice their thoughts, they heard a sudden exclamation from the West Sea Dragon King and his wife nearby.
An Nuo and Shao Feng were startled and quickly turned their heads.
The West Sea Dragon King looked at them nervously, "It's over, something's happened. Chu Xian and Jing Xiu have suddenly disappeared."
The West Sea Dragon Queen searched everywhere, apologizing anxiously, "I only took my eyes off them for a moment. Where could these two children have gone?"
Yan Hua stood up, "We must find them quickly. Let's split up."
Jin Yan also put away his joking expression, his brow furrowed tightly. Cursing, he turned around, "That idiot Jing Xiu, where did she run off to by herself?! I said before we shouldn't bring her out, she only causes trouble when she comes out."
The West Sea Dragon King and his wife dared not speak. Although Jin Yan didn't curse Chu Xian, they felt they were negligent in their supervision, which led to Chu Xian getting lost in this place.
Yu Yuan remained silent. Instead, he closed his eyes and used his spiritual power to sense Chu Xian and Jing Xiu's auras.
Even Chen Xi flew to the middle of the barrier to observe.
Qi Yu, seeing their serious expressions, couldn't help but become nervous. He lowered his voice and asked Yan Hua, "Master, in this paradise, besides some fruit trees, it seems there's only lush grass. How could anyone get lost?"
Si Qing also felt confused. He tightly held Qi Yu's hand.
"The plains are just an illusion, to make this place look more beautiful," Yan Hua raised his hand and tore away the surrounding scenery.
Instantly, all the beautiful scenery turned into black reefs, with sharp edges.
Every few steps, there was a bottomless black pit.
No one knew where they led.
"Waaah," Si Qing's eyes welled up with tears, and he transformed back into his original form, clinging to Qi Yu. "QAQ Master, is this place really this dangerous? The place we just walked past was near those reefs, and it seemed only one step away from that hole over there."
Fortunately, Yan Hua and Yu Yuan had pulled them back in time.
Qi Yu took a breath, his heart still pounding.
Just then, a cry for help suddenly came from not far away.
Qi Yu's eyes widened.
Shao Feng, being the closest, instinctively looked towards the cave from which the cry for help originated.
However, before he could even ask if it was Chu Xian and Jing Xiu, a dark figure lunged towards them!
