29: Forbidden Zone Fairy, Xia Gehuang

"Where the hell did this random teleportation send me?"

At this moment, Gu Yuan was looking at the unfamiliar environment with a face full of confusion, muttering to himself.

In fact, he had many other ways to escape Nether Moon's control.

It was just that he felt an itch in his heart and wanted to try this [Teleportation Scroll].

After all, the unknown is always the most attractive thing.

It was one thing to have never had the chance to use it before, but now that he finally had an opportunity, Gu Yuan naturally wouldn't miss it.

However... Gu Yuan looked up at the pitch-black sky and listened to the heart-palpitating roars around him; this was definitely no ordinary place.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan quickly took out the Detector to check the surrounding map.

When he saw that the map name displayed on the Detector was Eternal Night Demon Abyss, his expression instantly froze.

E-Eternal Night Demon Abyss!?

How the hell did this random teleportation bring him directly to the Eternal Night Demon Abyss, the head of the Ten Great Restricted Zones?

Moreover... the Eternal Night Demon Abyss... wouldn't that mean... Just as Gu Yuan's thoughts were racing, an ethereal voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Gu Yuan...? Interesting. Why are you here? Your strength shouldn't be enough to come here yet."

Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he slowly turned around.

Sure enough, that Fairy-like woman was currently looking at him with quite a bit of surprise.

Her exquisite figure was wrapped in a simple white dress.

The exposed half of her calves were extremely crystalline, radiating an indescribable charm.

And that holy face, like a Fairy from the heavens, made one afraid to look at her directly.

Even one more glance would make one feel guilty; such a Fairy could only be observed from a distance.

"Um... cough, Fairy Xia... So this is the Eternal Night Demon Abyss. Ahaha, what a—what a coincidence."

Gu Yuan swallowed hard and managed to force a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xia Gehuang only gave a shallow smile.

She had just sensed an outsider intruding into the Eternal Night Demon Abyss and thought some kind of trouble had broken out again.

However, when she came to investigate, what she saw was the man she had met once before and who had piqued her interest.

She walked up to Gu Yuan, sized him up with interest, and then frowned slightly.

"Compared to our first meeting, you don't seem to have that mysterious power now."

Emmmm.

Hearing her words, Gu Yuan laughed sheepishly, for a moment not knowing what to say.

The woman in front of him was the only existence he couldn't see through and was deeply wary of.

Because... she could actually see that he possessed the power of the System.

This point was simply too inconceivable.

Gu Yuan's first encounter with Xia Gehuang happened when he was completing a rescue mission for a Fated Heroine.

At that time, the Fated Heroine he was rescuing was the Demon Emperor.

The location where the Demon Emperor was in danger was near the Eternal Night Demon Abyss.

After the successful rescue, just as Gu Yuan was about to retire after his success, his path was blocked by Xia Gehuang, who had sensed an unusual power.

One must know that while performing a rescue mission, Gu Yuan was in an invincible state.

And even so, the Gu Yuan of that time still felt immense pressure.

Precisely because he was in an invincible Realm, he was all the more able to clearly perceive the terrifying nature of this woman.

At the time, Gu Yuan had only one feeling: it was as if he were facing the Great Dao itself.

This also made Gu Yuan full of curiosity about Xia Gehuang's cultivation Realm.

The opponent was definitely beyond the Great Dao Realm, and might even be in the legendary Immeasurable Realm.

However, how could that be possible? One must know that according to Gu Yuan's understanding...

The Qihuang Continent had not seen an Immeasurable Realm Cultivator for tens of thousands of years.

Even the Cultivators of the entire continent believed that the Immeasurable Realm only existed in legends.

And powerhouses of the Great Dao Realm were already the peak of the Qihuang Continent.

But all of these perceptions collapsed the moment Gu Yuan saw Xia Gehuang.

Gu Yuan could feel that even though he was in an invincible Realm at the time...

He still couldn't do anything to Xia Gehuang.

That existence that seemed to represent the Great Dao itself was truly exceptionally terrifying.

Gu Yuan had also asked the System about Xia Gehuang's situation.

And the answer given by the System was even more shocking.

Host's authority is insufficient, unable to view!

This had left Gu Yuan completely dumbfounded at the time.

At the same time, after that, he became even more cautious in his actions.

The plots in the novels he read before his Transmigration, where one could do whatever they wanted and crush the natives with a System, were still somewhat different from reality.

The existence of this Xia Gehuang seemed specifically meant to remind Gu Yuan of this point.

"Um... so this is the Eternal Night Demon Abyss? It feels so dark. Have you always been here?"

Gu Yuan didn't respond to Xia Gehuang's words, but instead looked around and asked curiously.

Xia Gehuang only gave a faint smile upon hearing this.

With a light wave of her delicate hand, in the next moment, the environment around the two of them directly transformed into a courtyard filled with the fragrance of flowers and the singing of birds.

A stone table and two rattan chairs appeared in front of them, and there were even various rare and exotic fruits placed on the table.

Uh... Gu Yuan stared blankly at this scene, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say.

What is this, an illusion?

Or creation out of thin air?

Gu Yuan touched the rattan chair and picked up a Spirit Fruit to sniff it.

Hmm... they seem to be real... This Fairy Sister is too powerful; could she be a legendary Immortal!?

Looking at Gu Yuan's surprised expression, Xia Gehuang gave a soft laugh.

"No need to be surprised; I am just an ordinary person who keeps a lonely watch over the Eternal Night Demon Abyss."

Huh!?

Gu Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes upon hearing this.

He had finally met someone even more 'Versailles' than himself.

Look at what she's saying—'just,' 'ordinary person,' 'that's all'—is this the legendary invisible flex, the most lethal kind?

Xia Gehuang naturally didn't know that her single sentence had caused a brainstorm in Gu Yuan's head.

She pointed to a rattan chair and said:

"Sit. No outsider has entered this Eternal Night Demon Abyss for a thousand years; you are the first."

Gu Yuan nodded upon hearing this and sat down directly.

Although this Fairy Sister's origins were a mystery, for some reason, Gu Yuan felt she harbored no ill will toward him.

What she had seemed to be just a simple curiosity.

Therefore, Gu Yuan wasn't too nervous; since he was here, he might as well make the best of it.

"You seem to have many questions. You can ask them, but I can only answer you selectively. After all, in my calculations, you are still far from the moment you should be able to come here and see me."

Xia Gehuang's voice was very ethereal and carried a hint of being otherworldly.

To her, everything in the world seemed to be beneath her notice.

This made Gu Yuan feel even more: is this sister really not an Immortal in the world?
