After leaving Sky Yellow City, Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan, and I hurried toward the Flower Sect's mountain gate. Liu Qing was so excited that he wanted to come with me, and I agreed.
However, there was no Space Wormhole directly from Sky Yellow City to the Flower Sect, so we could only keep switching routes along the way, wasting quite a bit of time.
Inside a Space Wormhole halfway there, I sat cross-legged aboard the small spatial vessel with my eyes closed. I appeared to be cultivating, but in truth, a portion of my consciousness had gone to Cai Lin.
"Get lost!"
Before I even saw her, a cold shout rang out. Yellow sand swept across the sky and blasted my avatar away.
That infuriated me. I gathered my strength and forcibly squeezed my way back in. My cultivation was now far stronger than Cai Lin's, and my soul power was greater as well. This time, with preparation, there was nothing she could do to me.
"Cai Lin, why do you have to be like this? I came to thank you this time. If you hadn't saved me in time before and given me a helping hand, I would have died long ago. How could I possibly have killed that Flower Old Woman?"
Cai Lin finally appeared again. In the boundless, parched desert, a graceful purple figure slowly emerged. Her narrow, seductive eyes still held nothing but coldness.
"If I hadn't been afraid you'd drag me down with you, why would I care whether you lived or died?"
Cai Lin and I were linked by a secret technique. Not only were our Soul Worlds connected, but our lives were intertwined as well. If one of us died, the other would be unable to survive and would die alongside them.
