The mountain ahead was still as high as the beginning, and the sunlight was dazzling as it had always been. There were immense trees in front of Ronghua. She sighed and wondered when she would finish this journey.
Ronghua had been in this mountain for two days. During this time, she had to take care of not only herself but also a new-added burden, who even carried two strips of iron chain on his hands and feet.
A three-day trip was delayed to six days as she agreed to take him with her.
The point was that the iron chains were not normal ones. They were made of the hardest dark iron and were impossible to unlock without a particular skill. They were widely used by the masters to prevent drug slaves from escaping.
If her spiritual instrument were still here, she could cut it apart easily. However, after her fan was taken away, all her useful weapons were gone. She had no choice but to walk step by step with him, slowly and hard.
<Ronghua stood in front of him and said, “See that?”“See what?” Rongnuan asked in confusion. Ronghua pointed at the lone wolf and said, “A lone wolf would never act on its own.”Upon knowing that, Rongnuan’s face turned pale. “Monsters like the lone wolves are gregarious indeed, and they often hunt together. Once they sense the smell of blood, they will hunt their prey to its end. Here, Ronghua had taken one down. We thus would be in big trouble tonight,” thought Rongnuan.Rongnuan clung to Ronghua’s hand and said, with a shivering voice, “Then what should we do. I...I can’t fight.” He then thought, “There were so many lone wolves.”Ronghua knew that he couldn’t fight the wolves for sure, and he wouldn’t be standing here if he could anyway. “He couldn’t even fight a single lone wolf, let alone a pack!” thought Ronghua. She then walked toward the wolf. Rongnuan didn’t have a choice but to put himself together and follow Ronghua. Tho
Flames continued to congregate around Ronghua’s hand. She just wanted to scare them off with a head-on blow to their confidence.“But what is happening now?” thought Ronghua.Ronghua could see clearly that the wolves did not leave. Instead, they had just loosened their cordon, with their eyes still fixed on her from around 30 meters away. “Are they planning for a prolonged fight with me?” thought Ronghua.Had Ronghua not been with Rongnuan, she would have decided to go with the wolves’ plan. But it was different this time. Rongnuan’s body could not wait.When Ronghua first diagnosed Rongnuan’s body, she had already noticed that the energy in Rongnuan was much exhausted after so many years of suffering. If she could not catch this fleeting chance to find the medicinal herbs for the soul-restoring pill and help Rongnuan to cultivate, he would die.“And that would mean I can’t keep my promise,” thought Ronghua.
In a few seconds, Ronghua surrounded the furnace with her spiritual power.Ronghua then lifted her sight and looked at Rongnuan, who was sleeping on the branches, with her catching eyes. Ronghua’s dress fluttered in the midnight wind, shrouding the insipid atmosphere with a shade of mystery.After a short moment of silence, Ronghua lifted the lid of the furnace. The scents of medicine soon blew out, suggesting a success.Suddenly, Ba Luo howled from behind. Ronghua turned around in confusion and thought, “Is it...about to evolve?”Ba Luo had almost recovered. But still, it was surprising to see it evolve right after signing the contract. Ronghua stood there in silence and did not interrupt.A lone wolf would usually be born as a grade-five monster. But Ronghua suspected Ba Luo might be born with defects because it was not as agile and speedy as its kind. “Otherwise, how could it be struck down so easily and lost the ab
There was nothing that Ronghua could do but to see Rongnuan suffer. She had exhausted all her spiritual power when they landed. If it weren’t for her spiritual weapons, she would be pretty much like Rongnuan, who had no spiritual power at all.Rongnuan sat on the ground, trying his best not to shout out his pains. But with his hands clinging tight to his thighs and his distorted facial expression, it was obvious that he was in great pain, and he could not get out of his suffering.Ronghua could not stand it anymore. “If I don’t do anything, his body will soon explode,” thought Ronghua.“Since I can’t help, I won’t drag him back. He has to get through this himself,” thought Ronghua.Ronghua sat down cross-legged next to Rongnuan. She then summoned the fire of nothingness to absorb some nimbus. Though Ronghua could absorb the nimbus to restore her spiritual power like crazy, she could only utilize a tiny fraction of the nimbus absorb
Ronghua scrutinized the expression of the king of the lone wolf. It was cold and cruel as it used to be. It seemed that he decided to be strict this time!Prince Ba Luo stood beside him with a disappointed face and dared not to look at his father’s face at all. Ronghua concealed her smile with her hand, “It seems that he had an unforgettable experience. He might not talk to his father for a long time.”Ronghua motioned the king of the lone wolf, and he understood. He turned back his head and barked, “Go, Ba Luo. Don’t come back if you don’t reach my requirement.”Ba Luo was hit with more frustration after hearing this. His eyes were filled with tears. His mouth opened, but he did not know what to say.“...” Ronghua was wondering if she had acted like a disgusting guy.She looked at Rongnuan with hesitation, hoping that he could give some suggestions, but she could only see her face in his eyes when he looked back. It w
Ronghua did not react to her findings and kept ascending the stairs with Rongnuan. A timeworn smell for out of repair spread out when they opened the door, nearly driving Ronghua to throw up. How long had it been uncleaned?Rongnuan stayed calm and patted at her back to comfort her. Ronghua still stepped in with him, pretending to be normal. The desk and chairs all had a thick layer of dust heaped on them. Ronghua snapped her fingers, and the flame burned all the dust in the blink of an eye.The server found the dust had gone when he followed in, but his stiff face did not express much astonishment. He put down the dishes and went out, shutting the door consciously.Rongnuan was aware of the surprise in the server’s eyes but did not mention it at that time, and now he asked, “Can’t he smile?”Ronghua sat down and browsed at the table, “Can the dead smile?”Rongnuan had no word to retort, but he did not mind this and sa
“The King of Ghosts, I want to exchange the thousand-hand lamp for a promise of you.”Ronghua turned around to find that it was a veiled woman. (Don’t ask Ronghua how she knew it was a woman.)The King of Ghosts looked up to this woman but didn’t see her appearance because of her veil.“Thousand-hand lamp? It has disappeared for a long time,” others were talking.“There must be several hundred years!”“How could he find it which has disappeared for several hundred years?” one person scorned it.What was the thousand-hand lamp?Ronghua asked one person, “What’s the thousand-hand lamp?”“You don’t know the thousand-hand lamp?” He was shocked by Ronghua’s question. However, he believed that Ronghua didn’t know it because of her expression, so he explained it.“The thousand-hand lamp, just as its name implies, is a lamp. The lamp has thousands of hands under the light. It
Although Ronghua’s words were extremely frivolous, they made sense. For example, the person capable of controlling the thousand-hand lamp couldn’t understand it was hard-earned if he didn’t endure hardship.“Rongnuan!” she turned around and said in anger, “Why do you come out?”He didn’t mind even though he was scolded, “I heard that something was going on underneath. I just worry about you.”It appeared that he cared about her very much. She said, “But I remember I’ve told you not to come out!”He stepped back with fear. Perhaps he hadn’t seen Ronghua’s angry expression for a long time, so he trembled, “I just...”“All right!” Ronghua interrupted him rudely, “If you dared do something without permission next time, I would do what I should do!”She forgave him finally, so he smiled, “Okay! No next time.”Ronghua was so helpless. Did he have the ability to achieve her purpose? She doubted it bu
