Guan Yi didn't go anywhere else. After standing at the entrance to the Lin family bungalow for a while, he left Donghai. The wolves were already prepared for a fight from afar. They could gather nearly a thousand people within a minute.

Donghai was now an iron block, an impenetrable fortress made from a wall of humans.

"That fellow just came to threaten us," said Brother Gou. "Humph, did he think we're easy targets?"

Even though he didn't dare to say that they could defeat Guan Yi, but they were still good fighters and it was hard to break through the wolves' formation.This content is © .

Besides, Peter Pan was also on guard within the Lin bungalow!

Now that Peter Pan had been rejuvenated by the water from the Longevity Pond, his prowess wasn't too far off from Jiang Ning and Greedy Wolf, even though it still fell short. After all, he was also someone who stood at the top of this world back in his day.

Back then, he was even more fearsome than Greedy Wolf.

With them around, the Lin family wouldn't be in any danger. That was also why Jiang Ning was able to just continue what he was doing inside the academy without any worries.

Jiang Ning's energies were now all focused on using the formation lines to extract the essence from the water from the Longevity Pond. He knew that if he wanted to rely on any power from the Heavenly Palace, this water was his only hope.

The Heavenly Palace was already in ruins, and it wasn't going to be easy to rebuild it.

Whether it was meaningful to do so wasn't important now. Greedy Wolf's existence was a threat in itself. He was like a time bomb that might go off anytime.

Jiang Ning could never trust Greedy Wolf.

This was something that Peter Pan often emphasized on.

Greedy Wolf was not only greedy.

Meanwhile, back in the Underworld.

Greedy Wolf sat in the main court. He was the only person in the great and empty hall, which made him look rather lonely.

But he wasn't bothered by any of this.

He heard footsteps approaching him. When he looked up and saw it was Yumeng, a rare smile appeared on his face.

"You're awake."

Yumeng nodded. She could sense Greedy Wolf's loneliness even as she walked over from afar. She didn't understand why this fellow always preferred to be alone.

"I want to walk outside," she said in a gentle voice. Tve been here for some time and the environment is like this all day.

Can I go out and take a walk?"

What she meant was to go outside of the Underworld to see the developed modern world.

Greedy Wolf looked at her with a conflicted expression on his face.

He wanted to keep this woman by his side forever, but it seemed that for now, Yumeng still couldn't accept him. Her heart was stil occupied by that man who was already dead.

"It's very dangerous outside," said Greedy Wolf.

"I'm not afraid," said Yumeng.

"Must you go out?" said Greedy Wolf. "I'll get someone to protect you."

"No need," Yumeng shook her head. "Don't forget, I'm quite a formidable martial artist as well. Most people aren't able to even get close to me."

Greedy Wolf had indeed nearly

forgotten about that. Yumeng was a

highly skilled fighter herself. She wasn't good enough to fight with people like him, but she certainly wouldn't lose in a fight with others, or even those whom the world today considered experts.

"Alright then, I won't limit your freedom. You can go anywhere you want, and you can come back anytime you like."

Greedy Wolf took out a small plaque and passed it to her. "If you need me, use it to look for me. Keep it with you at all times."

Yumeng glanced at it but didn't refuse to take it. She nodded, thanked him and turned to leave.

Greedy Wolf remained seated in his

chair like a statue, with no

expression on his face. It seemed like there was nothing that could affect his emotions at all.

He just continued to look at Yumeng. Even just looking at her back view made him content.

"Sometimes, people can choose not to be lonely," said Yumeng after she had taken a few steps and turned to look back at

Greedy Wolf. "If you can let go of some things, then you could become happy too.

"What should I be letting go of?" asked Greedy Wolf.

He shook his head. There wasn't anything he wanted to let go of, and he didn't want many things in life either.

"Let go of all those things you don't need," said Yumeng. "Me, for example."
