Arrival
After half an hour of flight, Lin Ming and Xiao Yi Xian arrived at the outer edge of the Monster Mountain Range of Green Mountain Town.
At this point, Lin Ming asked, "Where is the cave located?"
"It's too dark to be sure at night. But the cave is on a cliff, so its general location is around here." After hearing Lin Ming's question, Xiao Yi Xian pointed in a direction and said.
Lin Ming had already made himself clear to Xiao Yi Xian, and if Xiao Yi Xian continued to cause trouble, he wouldn't mind punishing Xiao Yi Xian. So, after Xiao Yi Xian pointed out the direction, Lin Ming nodded and flew in the direction Xiao Yi Xian indicated.
Presumably because she had been clinging to Lin Ming and flying at close range for so long, Xiao Yi Xian's fear of Lin Ming's Dou King cultivation had diminished considerably. So much so that during Lin Ming's next flight, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly asked, "You... you're called Lin Ming, right?"
"Yes!" Lin Ming replied upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's question.
"Lin Ming, how... how did you cultivate? You don't look much older than me, so how did you reach the Dou Wang level?" After receiving Lin Ming's reply, Xiao Yi Xian became bolder and immediately asked the question that had been on her mind the most.
"Cultivation level is a martial artist's most secret matter. Xiao Yi Xian, you don't even know this?" After Xiao Yi Xian finished speaking, Lin Ming immediately replied in a solemn tone.
Hearing Lin Ming's serious tone, Xiao Yi Xian was immediately startled and apologized repeatedly, explaining, "I... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to pry into your secrets."
After Xiao Yi Xian finished speaking, and sensing that Xiao Yi Xian body was tense, Lin Ming immediately laughed and said, "Haha! Xiao Yi Xian, I was just kidding. Actually, I don't have much to say. It's nothing more than having a better family background, stronger talent, more luck, and being more handsome, and then you have your current cultivation level."
After hearing Lin Ming's words, Xiao Yi Xian was stunned. After a long while, Xiao Yi Xian came to her senses and said, "Lin Ming, I can accept the first three points you mentioned, but does being handsome have even the slightest connection to improving cultivation?"
"That's very important. Xiao Yi Xian, let me tell you, it's because I'm handsome that I have a good family background, good talent, and good luck. So being handsome is the key to my cultivation." Lin Ming said seriously when he heard Xiao Yi Xian's question.
"Lin Ming, I've realized that even you, with your Dou King cultivation, are far inferior in this respect. Do you know what I mean?" Xiao Yi Xian replied immediately, seeing Lin Ming's earnest expression.
"Haha! Xiao Yi Xian, you're really smart. You noticed my handsome appearance right away. Sigh! Being too handsome is a problem too!" As soon as Xiao Yi Xian finished speaking, Lin Ming laughed and began to indulge in self-admiration.
"Ah! Lin Ming, your shamelessness is unmatched, not even by Dou Wang, let alone Dou Emperor." Seeing Lin Ming lost in his own self-admiration, Xiao Yi Xian immediately revealed her answer.
"Uh! Xiao Yi Xian, you're still inside me! So I'm giving you a chance to rephrase your words." Lin Ming was taken aback upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words. Then, Lin Ming spoke with a hint of threat.
"Lin Ming, I think you're absolutely right, you are the most handsome." After hearing Lin Ming's threat, Xiao Yi Xian immediately changed her tune and praised him.
"Ah~!" The moment Xiao Yi Xian finished speaking, a feeling of weightlessness washed over her, causing Xiao Yi Xian to scream repeatedly. At the same time, thinking Lin Ming Xiao Yi Xian was retaliating, Xiao Yi Xian even said, "Lin Ming, I already praised you for being handsome. And you still..."
"We've arrived, here you go. What, you thought I was playing a prank on you?" Lin Ming said after stopping at the edge of a bushy cliff.
"No... no... Lin Ming, how could someone as handsome as you possibly play a prank?" Xiao Yi Xian immediately replied with a Lin Ming. Of course, in her heart, she had already cursed Lin Ming countless times.
"Is that it?" Without dwelling on Xiao Yi Xian's words any longer, Lin Ming pointed to the place ahead, which was covered with rubble and strange trees.
Looking at the location Lin Ming was pointing to, Xiao Yi Xian recognized it for a moment, then excitedly replied, "Yes, this is it!"
"Hold on tight!" As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, the wings on his back flapped instantly, and he headed towards the place of rubble and strange trees.
"Whoosh!" After arriving at the place of broken rocks and strange trees, a dark shadow made a sound and flew towards Lin Ming.
Seeing the black shadow flying towards him, Lin Ming raised his hand, and the long yellow figure was firmly pinched Lin Ming two fingers, unable to advance an inch.
"A tiny Rock Snake dares to attack me?" Lin Ming shook his head as he looked at the Rock Snake trapped between his fingers.
Then, Lin Ming squeezed hard with two fingers, and the Rock Snake's body was instantly crushed and moved freely downwards.
After dealing with the Rock Snake, Lin Ming looked at the cave entrance, which was hidden by rubble and strange trees. He released a burst of Dou Qi, and the cave entrance immediately appeared.
Seeing the opening that was large enough for two or three people to pass through, Lin Ming nodded and moved again to stand inside the opening.
"Are you addicted to hugging her? We're already at the cave entrance, why aren't you getting down?" Upon reaching the cave entrance, Lin Ming spoke up, looking at Xiao Yi Xian still clinging to him.
Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly realized that they had arrived at their destination. Then, Xiao Yi Xian, she released her grip on Lin Ming's hand and stood up on her own.
Standing behind the cave, Xiao Yi Xian immediately snorted and said, "Hmph! I don't want to hug you!"
After saying that, Xiao Yi Xian ran into the cave on her own.
"Haha, Xiao Yi Xian, since you're willing to go ahead and scout, that's fine. But if you encounter any Magical Beasts ahead, you'll have to deal with them yourself." Lin Ming said immediately as he watched Xiao Yi Xian run off in a huff.
As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, Xiao Yi Xian's forward-moving figure immediately stopped.
Seeing that Xiao Yi Xian had stopped walking, Lin Ming smiled and shook his head, then stepped forward as well.
"Xiao Yi Xian, why aren't you leaving?" Lin Ming asked again after arriving beside Xiao Yi Xian.
"Hmph! You, a dignified Dou Wang, actually think you can make a mere woman like me scout ahead? Let me tell you, such a thing could never happen to me, Xiao Yi Xian." Xiao Yi Xian immediately retorted, looking at Lin Ming's mocking expression.
"I didn't ask you to scout ahead; you ran ahead on your own." Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's expression, Lin Ming could only say helplessly. Then, Lin Ming added, "Alright, let's not waste any more time, let's go together!"
After watching Lin Ming walk forward, Xiao Yi Xian's figure, which had stopped moving, resumed its movement and followed Lin Ming into the cave.
