At this juncture, the Dragonman paused, his eyes revealing a hint of contemplation as if he were delving into events from a millennium past.

Gu Chaoyan shot an annoyed glance at the Dragonman and playfully tapped its head. A thousand years ago, the Dragonman hadn’t even existed, yet now it mimicked the recounting of ancient tales as if it had personally witnessed those bygone events.

Gu Chaoyan was well aware that the young Dragonman was merely emulating its father.

Evidently, its father had shared these tales during their time in the Dragon Vein Mountain, with the same expressions the Dragonman now wore. It seemed the Dragonman harbored great admiration for its father, living in the shadows of his legacy.

At times, Gu Chaoyan wished it were otherwise.

In this moment, she playfully teased the Dragonman.

The Dragonman rubbed its forehead and gazed at Gu Chaoyan with a helpless expression. “Stop hitting my forehead.”

“Be cautious, or I might withhold information about this world,” warned the Dragonman, its temper flaring as it implied it wouldn’t divulge more if she persisted.

Reluctantly, Gu Chaoyan smiled and conceded, “Alright, alright, no more tapping. Just tell me.”

“However, a thousand years ago, the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan vanished after vanquishing the other patriarchs. Her whereabouts remained a mystery, eluding even the demons’ search. Hence, while the demons are deemed formidable, they aren’t necessarily the most dominant force.” The young Dragonman struggled to pass judgment, mirroring the same internal conflict and uncertainty that its father had experienced when recounting the tale of the second world and the demons.

“Disappeared?”

The esteemed Clan Leader of the Demon Clan had vanished, leaving an air of mystery.

Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but feel a twinge of unease and guilt.

Why did the situation sound oddly familiar, as if they were discussing her?

In the Five Elements Clan, their own Clan Leader had also disappeared in a similar manner.

And now, the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan had shared the same fate.

For a moment, Gu Chaoyan felt a tinge of embarrassment.

Observing her master’s discomfort, the Dragonman couldn’t resist playfully hitting her again. “Regardless of the demons’ setbacks due to their Clan Leader’s disappearance, the fiends and demons still pose a threat. You must tread carefully. Your life matters most. In this second world, don’t concern yourself with who is stronger. In any case, they surpass you in strength,” the Dragonman advised matter-of-factly.

Gu Chaoyan swatted him on the head. “Don’t get too pleased with yourself. While you may be stronger than me, you won’t benefit from following me. If I get hurt, your life won’t be a walk in the park either.”

The Dragonman pursed its lips, protesting silently against Gu Chaoyan’s words.

It had no desire to follow her; being a dignified divine beast of the Dragon Race, accompanying a human with a weaker cultivation level felt like a humiliation to the Dragon Race.

Had she not taken the gold, silver, and jewelry her father had bequeathed, it wouldn’t have faced such a predicament.

It remained indifferent to her warning.

Gu Chaoyan had grown accustomed to the Dragonman’s awkward expressions and didn’t take it to heart.

“What’s our next move? Tell me,” Gu Chaoyan directed the question to the Dragonman.

The Dragonman pondered the query with genuine consideration.

To her surprise, it seemed that hiding would be the safest course of action.

He shook his head.

“Who are you?” Several voices suddenly rang out, jolting Gu Chaoyan.
