The Mysterious Woman

"Rush!"

Upon re-entering the Ruins of Ruins Nightmare, Cao Fengqi was extremely focused, his gaze fixed intently on the location of the supplies.

He calmly followed the trajectory of his running, retreating, or moving left and right, which changed according to the distance to the coordinates.

He took a full nine seconds to reach the 200-meter mark, a time that would normally be easily achieved in four or five seconds.

"This is?"

When Cao Fengqi saw the source of the supplies, he was stunned for a full second.

He quickly shook his head, then grabbed the at least 1.8-meter-tall 'supplies' and ran frantically outside.

"Splash!" "Whew! We made it out!"

Having broken Ruins Nightmare realm, Cao Fengqi a heavy sigh of relief. His expression changed repeatedly as he looked at the 'thing' in his arms.

"No wonder I encountered level 7 resources, no wonder!!"

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! It's just one person!!"

Yes, the source of the supplies was one person, and that person was a woman.

She wore a purple, form-fitting soft armor that accentuated her exquisite and graceful curves, and her entire body was enveloped in white light.

She had body temperature, but no breath or heartbeat. Perhaps it was the protection of this white light that prevented her from dying in the mouth of the Ruin Demon.

He had no idea what state the woman was in right now.

Cao Fengqi pursed his lips, looked at the beautiful figure in his arms, and placed her on the ground.

Then, his gaze fell intensely on the items on the woman's body.

"Three level 7 items, three level 6 items, and three level 5 items—this woman is definitely a powerful superhuman."

Cao Fengqi murmured, staring at her, "I rescued you from the domain of the Ruin Demon; consider the treasures you possess as my reward for saving you."

If you don't speak, I'll take that as tacit agreement.

"You're welcome. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda."

"I'll gladly accept it!"

Cao Fengqi spoke, he began to dig.

"The purple soft armor she's wearing is level 7. Is this kind of soft armor suitable for wearing as outerwear? It's a bit flashy, isn't it? The sword she's holding is also level 7."

"Damn, even the underwear is level 6, and this medal is level 7, this..."

Cao Fengqi excitedly took off each of the medals, and when he saw the one in particular, his eyes lit up. "This medal!!!"

[World Medal: Level 7 Quality]

[Effect: A storage space created by a powerful Worldweaver, containing 10 cubic meters of space, with a built-in safety feature; living creatures cannot be stored there.]

"Essential space-saving items for home and travel, totaling a full 10 cubic meters, hahaha."

Cao Fengqi watched and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This thing is a divine artifact!

"Huh?"

When Cao Fengqi stripped the last of the woman's belongings, he was stunned for a moment. She was very clean, very clean.

I couldn't help but glance again at the exceptionally bright headlights.

"..."

Cao Fengqi pursed his lips, and suddenly, a chill ran down his spine.

His expression changed as he noticed a pair of murderous eyes staring at him.

"..."

"..."

Their eyes met, Cao Fengqi couldn't help but take two steps back. "Calm down, beautiful lady. I risked my life to rescue you from the Ruin Demon."

"Buzz!"

A purple flame, like a magnificent robe, draped over her body, and Xu Fenghua stood up, filled with shame and anger.

She stood there, her expression shifting between anger and uncertainty as she stared at Cao Fengqi.

The purple flames on his body rose uncontrollably, radiating a violent aura.

She regained consciousness as soon as she was carried out of the Ruins Nightmare realm.

However, due to the attack on her mind and the protection provided by the consumable treasure, she has not yet fully gained control of her body.

She knew everything that had just happened.

He heard what the kid in front of him said and sensed everything he did.

She is dignified...

Most importantly, this kid actually saw her entire body, and even...

Her chest heaved violently.

Cao Fengqi looked at her with extreme vigilance. After seeing that the script had not issued any warnings of danger, he hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say. He then looked at her and asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"

"Fuck you! You're a fucking bastard!"

Xu Fenghua gritted her teeth and uttered each word slowly and deliberately, her eyes red.

"..."

"..."

Cao Fengqi looked at the rude woman with a slight speechlessness. "I saved your life."

"It won't bother you."

Xu Fenghua stared at him with a gloomy face. "Give me the clothes."

Cao Fengqi looked at the item in his hand, handed it to her, and repeated, "I saved your life."

Xu Fenghua immediately took it and glared at him resentfully.

Purple flames obscured a section of space, and a rustling sound came from within.

Soon, Xu Fenghua, with her stunningly beautiful face, sharp and cold eyes, and commanding presence, appeared before him.

"I saved your life."

Cao Fengqi looked at her and then spoke slowly.

"You don't need to remind me."

Xu Fenghua clenched her delicate fists, wanting to punch this bastard in front of her to death.

"Give me the sword. I can give you the World Medal, but there are some things inside that I want to take."

She bit her lip and said coldly, "The value of World Medal is far greater than that of a sword."

This was originally yours.

Upon hearing Cao Fengqi forced a smile, "Returning it to its rightful owner."

Although he was somewhat reluctant to part with the sword, he knew that once he reached the level of Mystic Artificer, he could forge level 7 weapons.

World Medal was his most prized possession, and it was of utmost use to him.

"Snort!"

Xu Fenghua snorted coldly, took his belongings, and took some things out of the World Medal.

There are some items inside that I'll give you as payment for saving me.

With an icy expression, she said another sentence, then tossed World Medal to him and turned to leave without looking back.

"..."

Cao Fengqi took the World Medal and watched the woman leave, somewhat speechless.

He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Hey, where are you from? Do you know about Tianbei Base City?"

He had many questions about this powerful and mysterious female superhuman.

Xu Fenghua paused for a moment, then turned to look at him expressionlessly. "You're heading to Tianbei Base City?"

"Yes, not just me, but also two or three hundred thousand people in our county."

Cao Fengqi immediately spoke.

"Tianbei Base City is now the Great Xia's Seventh Sanctuary, and many people have gathered there, but the authorities are currently overwhelmed with their own problems."

Xu Fenghua looked at him with a solemn expression. "However, going there is still a very good choice."

Cao Fengqi was slightly startled by her words.

Are even the authorities struggling to cope with their own problems?

Is there any food there?

Cao Fengqi pressed for an answer.

Many people in Liangmin County are starving; if you get there and there's no food, it'll be hell.

"You can only say that no one will starve to death."

Xu Fenghua said in a deep voice.

"That's fine."

Cao Fengqi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Although he had no shortage of food, he did not want to witness a scene of hell.

As long as you don't starve, there is hope and a chance to find food in the Lost Land.

Xu Fenghua looked at him, as if guessing something, and pointed in a direction, saying, "Go in that direction, about thirty kilometers away, there's a meadow there. The wild grass there isn't very tasty, but it'll fill your stomach."

"Really? Thanks."

Cao Fengqi raised an eyebrow and thanked him, but Xu Fenghua didn't say anything more and quickly disappeared into the rain.

After walking for a kilometer, she stopped, her eyes filled with apprehension and fear as she looked in the direction of the Ruin Demon.

Her eyes gleamed with an eerie purple light, piercing through the layers of darkness and rain to gaze at the young figure, her face full of doubt. "Even those who have reached the third stage of the Transcendent Sequence would immediately get lost inside. How did he manage to rescue himself? He's clearly a weak pervert, yet he's a special Transcendent Sequence?"

She couldn't understand it. After a long while, she took out a palm-sized piece of purplish-black keratin, with wriggling dark patterns on it. She pressed down on the center of the dark patterns.

"I am Xu Fenghua, and I am still alive."

"Mission failed. The Ruin Demon is invincible. Anyone who gets within a dozen kilometers of it will become lost. Preliminary assessment: SS-level Forbidden Evil Spirit."

"Moonlight Knight Liu Yuexin, Shadow Ruins Watcher Duan Feng, Evil Spirit Hunter Zhang Tian, Soul Listener Zhu Xiaoxiao, Bone Blade Demon Hunter Xu Dianfeng, all dead!"

She spoke in a heavy tone, raising her head to gaze into the suffocating darkness.

"Miss Fenghua, you're still alive! That's wonderful! You've been missing for a month!"

"..."
