Thump! Thump! Thump!
Great Wind-Driller's heart raced.
This whip was a magical artifact the masters had rewarded him with for his hard work over the past year.
Normally, even the masters would have to cast a spell to shatter it.
Yet now, it had shattered from striking an ordinary female cultivator.
There was something wrong with this female cultivator.
Drip! Drip! Drip!
Beads of sweat kept rolling down.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Great Wind-Driller felt as though his heart was about to leap out.
He pressed hard against his chest, but... it did no good.
Terrifying!
He wanted to cry!
He wanted to flee!
But... he could not escape.
The middle-aged female cultivator sighed. "Why are you sweating so much?"
Great Wind-Driller trembled. "The magical artifact... shattered!"
The woman froze, then slapped her forehead and said in frustration, "Right, I haven't touched a magical artifact in over a thousand years. I'd even forgotten such things existed; besides, when you whipped me, my body was tougher than the artifact, so naturally it snapped. That's what gave me away."
"Honestly, it's been so long since I played a low-level cultivator that I've forgotten how."
Great Wind-Driller trembled...
The woman sighed. "Don't be afraid, and there's no need to worry."
"I actually received permission from Drowning Water Headquarters to come to Stone City this time."
"I won't harm Stone City. I've even brought some rewards from Drowning Dao Headquarters as compensation."
"All of this will make Stone City better!"
Great Wind-Driller did not believe a word of it and sneered inwardly. I may have a pig's brain, but I also possess great wisdom.
Anyone who comes skulking in must harbor ill intentions.
He remained silent.
The woman did not mind and instead asked Great Wind-Driller some questions about Stone City.
These were things anyone
