The sound of birds singing sounded in the air. The morning came later. It was seen that a man named Chyou Chen was busy preparing a sword that he would carry away along with him. Not to forget, he also went to see the emperor to say goodbye before he would leave the Chen residence temple. When he was saying goodbye to the emperor, the emperor looked very anxious. As if he was reluctant to leave. However, it still did not make this man named Chyou Chen cancel his departure. Because anyway, he had to find out who the real figure behind the beheading demon in the forest was. Chyou Chen left wearing the clothes he used to wear while practicing the sword. Not only that, he also wore a dark-colored seedy robe to cover his mane as well as his face from the view of the residents of Chen's residential city.
The journey from the temple to the gate of the river of death forest felt very tiring. Chyou Chen walked further into the forest, until he found a large tree near the stream that was as red as blood. Because his body was exhausted. He decided to rest for a while under the tree.
After a while later. Chyou Chen again continued his journey to explore the river of death forest. During the trip, Chyou Chen simply fell silent. There was nothing that made her open her voice. Until he arrived at a place that was enough to make this man named Chyou Chen speechless. Deep in this forest there is a place with a pretty terrible view. Even there is also covered by thick air that is very dangerous.
“What has happened to this place?” Chyou Chen started to ask himself.
The barren land as well as some dead trees really made this man named Chyou Chen very confused. Either after some daydreaming, suddenly a soft touch felt touched one of his shoulders, to make himself aware of his daydream. Chyou Chen who got the touch was a little surprised. She enthusiastically turned her head, towards the figure of the man standing right near her.
“Master? What are you doing in a place like this?” asked the man when he saw the man's spontaneous response in front of him.
Chyou Chen just fell silent with his mouth continuously silenced. His gaze was also not separated from the face of the man who was asking at this time. “...”
Seeing the man staring at her with his mouth shut. No words came out of his mouth. His frowns wrinkled a little to make this man confused. Did his presence scare this man? I don't know, Chyou Chen's current reaction also made the man of his interlocutor confused. “Master?” in the midst of this silence. This dark girly man again reprimanded the man in front of him.
Hearing the man's reprimand, this time made Chyou Chen aware and changed the direction of his body which was now being confronted by the dark-blanky man. “....”
“Ah-I'm sorry sir. Have I frightened you?” the man again asked before the silent atmosphere almost united with them for his second time.
Chyou Chen shook his head slowly and said “Of course not. I was a little surprised at your presence. Because before her I had never seen anyone manage to enter this forest deep into her.” Clearly Chyou Chen with his head slightly bowed to the man. Then a few seconds after her he raised his head again.
Hearing Chyou Chen's explanation. He made the man smile, and he asked again. “Master, What are you doing in a place like this?”
“O-oh. Sorry, I am an ordinary swordsman who came from Chen's residential village. My arrival to a place like this is with the permission and orders of the emperor Huai Chen”.
Chyou Chen replied. “I came here on foot” replied.
Heard Chyou Chen's reply. This guy was very surprised. “Hah!! Really?”
“Ya sure. What then? What about you? How can you find me in a place like this?” this time it was Chyou Chen who asked the man his question.
The man smiled. Touching his chest with his own hands. Then slightly bowed his body and said. “Xiao Zhan's. I live not far from this place” replied him.
Hearing that this man named Xiao Zhan lived not far from the place made Chyou Chen speechless with his head in deep thought. He tried to remember what sectarian residential town was not far from this forest. “....”
“Hehehe” saw the man's behavior instead made Xiao Zhan close his small laugh by using the back of his right hand. “No need to remember it until it is like that sir. If you would like to visit our place? There you can also rest before you return to continue your journey said Xiao Zhan who tried to offer a resting place for the exhausted Chyou Chen.
Chyou Chen just nodded slowly agreeing to the man's offer. Because the condition of his body is now very tired. Even if he still insisted on continuing his journey. That wouldn't be possible either. “Good. Sorry, if I trouble you”
“There is no need to worry about that, my lord. Besides, our place has been used to be the resting place of the emperors or warriors who got missions in this forest”, he explained.
When I finished saying that. This man named Xiao Zhan allowed a man named Chyou Chen to walk next to him. The shade of trees and towering canyons blocked the morning sunlight through the river of death. During the trip Chyou Chen and Xiao Zhan were just speechless to each other. No one dared to open the conversation in the midst of that silence. Even in the lapse of a while later, they finally arrived at a hut that was right in the middle of the river of death forest. Chyou Chen who had just learned of the existence of the hut in the middle of the river of death forest slightly made himself confused. This was the first time for her to know of such a strange thing.
“This is the place sir. Sorry if this place is too small for you” Xiao Zhan said with a friendly smile.
“No, this is enough for me” said Chyou Chen. Who then sat on the terrace of the cottage.
