"Oh my god, what on earth is going on..."

"After those experienced adventurers entered, none of them came out?"

"Everyone, please stand further away. There must be something wrong with this black fog. Those who touched it a few days ago developed symptoms of coughing."

On the mountain tops surrounding the valley, there were crowds of onlookers and adventurers discussing the situation.

A few days ago, a strange black fog appeared on the Demon Mountain near the port of Ormos, which caused heated discussions among people. Because the terrain is sunken and it is easy to look down, people rushed to the nearby mountain tops to observe the situation at the bottom of the mountain.

"Do you think this could be the flu? It's just spreading in the form of mist?"

"This guess is a bit far-fetched. Let's wait for the knowledgeable scholars from the Ministry of Education to come."

The people who were retreating cautiously were talking and gradually dispersed. Suddenly, behind them, they saw a young man with a cute creature in his arms and curious eyes.

Perhaps it was because the young man was dressed in white and had silver hair, and his handsome face was too different from that of ordinary people. The uncle walking in front of him couldn't help but look at him a few more times and gave him some kind advice.

"Young man, don't run in out of curiosity. This black fog is strange and has swallowed up many adventurers. Everyone is waiting for the Ministry of Education to send someone."

“The Ministry of Education?” The young man blinked, as if he had suddenly realized something, and nodded seriously, “Don’t worry, we are just waiting and watching for a while, and we won’t take any action rashly.”

"You guys?" The uncle glanced at him and couldn't help but look at him more carefully. He was wearing spotless white clothes, with a bamboo flute on his waist that was emitting a verdant light. The small fire-type divine eye hanging on the bamboo flute swayed slightly with his movements.

And in the arms of this strange-looking boy...

The cute creature rested its head on the boy's chest, and the whole thing looked like a round pillow. Four claws and ears grew on both sides, and the extra tail was wrapped around the boy, like some kind of noble lizard animal (?)

But, a soft head with cute horns?

As if sensing his gaze, the cute creature raised its head from the boy's arms and turned to look at him.

“Alive, alive!?” The frightened uncle took a step back in a second, howling softly to attract everyone’s attention, but he hesitated again.

You know what, this little thing is pretty cute... ?

It looks so soft, I really want to touch it...

The female onlookers nearby were already exclaiming in admiration, and were standing there in amazement, looking up and down between the handsome boy and the cute creature: "You two are so cute, is this your pet?"

The boy smiled gently: "His name is Longlong, and he is my most beloved toy."

"Eh!? Toys? Toys that move? Wait, why is he called Longlong?" Before everyone could react, the uncle with a calm expression became anxious.

Hearing this, he also raised his head and looked at the boy with his long, green bean-sized eyes. The tail of his eyes was painted with a thin red eyeshadow, as if silently expressing his doubts about the strange word "toy".

The young man smiled softly, hugged Longlong, turned around and walked towards the black fog: "Longlong is Longlong, why do we need other reasons? Isn't it just right to play with it in our spare time, and--"

"Longlong should be described as cute, but you can't use such words for me."

"Wait! Don't enter the black fog!" The moment before his figure was completely submerged in the black fog, the uncle shouted quickly. He wanted to chase him, but hesitated and stopped in front of the black fog.

The young man's voice was light and floated over with the wind: "Everyone, please do not approach this place without permission. Please prepare medical personnel. I will take the adventurers out later."

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment: "So who is he?"

In the black fog, all the noisy sounds gradually disappeared.

Looking around, there was a large area of ​​blurry and blurred inky fog. The surrounding environment was extremely silent. The space was shaking, twisting and flickering, and faint and strange sounds could be heard.

It was a bizarre scene that seemed like something from another world.

Shen Qianluo never stopped, and walked steadily while looking at the scenery. The dim light of the bamboo flute dispersed the fog around him, along with the occasional inhuman black shadows that flashed through the fog.

He felt Longlong in his arms move slightly, as if he wanted to stand up to be alert to any unusual movements around him and protect the young men surrounding him.

Shen Qianluo pushed him back: "Don't be afraid, they are just pets made up by Heaven to bully others. In the sky, they have to apply in advance and wait for approval before they can even get close to me."

Longlong then stopped his actions for a moment, and then seemed to realize that he shouldn't understand what others said. He rubbed Shen Qianluo's handsome chin affectionately, as if to express his affection.

"He is still immature, so he should be able to abide by the law for a few more days."

Rubbing Longlong's head to comfort him, Shen Qianluo pondered and commented on the distorted shadows in the black fog. He slowed down his pace slightly, noticed a young man lying unconscious in front of him, and slowly raised his hand.

Judging from the appearance, they are the people of Xumi who have strayed into this place by mistake. Let’s use the power of God to carry them out…

Shen Qianluo's movements suddenly froze.

He seems...

Saw it...

The boy's stunned eyes trembled with a little disbelief, as if suppressing the boundless throbbing of his heart, and he raised his eyes little by little. Unexpectedly, his eyes fell on a blurry silhouette with its back to him not far away.

He probably even stopped breathing for a moment.

The silhouette was not tall, and was even a little shorter than the boy who had the same slim figure as him.

He was wearing a thin shirt and looked very thin. His smooth silver hair fell to his armpits without being groomed, and his handsome posture added an unusual neatness and coldness to his temperament.

As if he had suddenly sensed the sight, the boy in front froze. At the moment he looked back, the gazes of the two boys seemed to have crossed layers of time and space and intersected in the void of time and space.

"elder brother…?"

"Aqiao..."
