Ye Feng stood still, giving Zhu Lan plenty of time to escape.
“Hey, kid. If I’m not mistaken, that girl’s constitution is quite unusual. You’re just letting her go like that?”
The old man in Ye Feng’s consciousness tried to keep him in suspense.
Ye Feng played dumb.
“What constitution?”
“The Pure Yin Body!”
The old man felt proud of his vast knowledge.
“A Pure Yin Body that appears once in a millennium! Do you have any idea how much a Pure Yin Body benefits a man’s cultivation? If you can take her Primal Yin, even a Five-Element Root could sever four of them and become a Single-Element Root genius! By plucking and supplementing a Pure Yin Body, an ordinary man’s cultivation speed would advance by leaps and bounds. Since you possess the Pure Yang Body, the benefits you’d receive would be ten times greater than an ordinary person’s!”
Ye Feng knew this.
However, her Pure Yin Body was still too weak.
If he couldn’t control his impulses over such things, how could he ever finish the long journey of the immortal path?
Ye Feng asked as if casually, “Old man, how did you tell she has a Pure Yin Body?”
“It’s strange. Originally, that little girl’s Pure Yin constitution was very well hidden. It only became noticeable after she circulated her cultivation technique. It’s as if her Pure Yin Body was sealed, and only by running her technique can she temporarily break the seal and reveal her constitution.”
Ye Feng became a bit somber upon hearing the answer.
It seemed his fellow countryman was unaware of this.
If a weak Pure Yin Body was exposed to the world, her fate would be miserable.
And he was determined to have her.
Ye Feng recalled the soft fist he had just held.
He couldn’t help but sigh—men and women were different after all; he didn’t have such soft hands.
Zhu Lan finally stopped after her legs went numb from running.
She was starving.
She had never tried to cultivate for so long in one go—a whole month without moving. She was filthy and hungry.
Waaaah, she was at the seventh level of Qi Condensation and yet she was insta-killed by the male lead, who was only at the third level.
It was too miserable.
Her “cool story” life hadn’t even begun yet, so why was she forced to realize she was just cannon fodder?
Being solo-killed by someone four levels lower than her was just too embarrassing.
Maybe it was just because the male lead was exceptionally powerful, plus he had the help of the Nine Yang Primordial Scripture and the Lin Yuan Sword.
If she could have those two things, maybe she could solo-kill the male lead with one finger…
Zhu Lan could only comfort herself this way.
She urgently needed to find a lake or some place with a water source.
After not bathing for so long, she felt like ants were crawling all over her body.
Besides, there was a high probability that magical beasts would go to water sources to drink, and she was truly starving.
Maybe if she had been full, she could have beaten the male lead.
She had to cultivate hard, strive to snatch the male lead’s opportunities, and then ruthlessly trample him under her feet!
After walking a bit further and following the tracks of magical beasts on the ground, she finally saw a lake.
The water in the lake looked quite clear and had no foul smell.
Zhu Lan, exhausted from her long ordeal, finally relaxed her tensed nerves.
There shouldn’t be anyone left in the secret realm now.
Most people had fled after the previous anomaly.
She didn’t believe her luck could be so bad as to run into someone at a time like this.
Zhu Lan quickly stripped off her clothes, folded them on the shore, and jumped into the lake like a slippery loach.
Feeling the long-awaited water, Zhu Lan’s mind and body were filled with joy.
Storage rings in this cultivation world were outrageously expensive.
The smallest one cost a hundred taels of silver.
Zhu Lan couldn’t bear to spend that much, so she had exchanged her silver for banknotes, put them in a pouch, and tied it to her waist.
She pressed her clothes down on the money pouch and left them on the shore.
The water temperature wasn’t cold, and the weather was quite hot.
Soaking in the water, Zhu Lan felt every pore in her body relax.
She looked at her reflection in the water—an exquisite beauty, as clear and elegant as a lotus rising from the water.
Heehee, I’m really good-looking.
Although it was a bit of a failure that she could see the bottom when looking down at her reflection, being small was also cute.
If they were too big, it would be too tiring to walk.
The benefits of being too large in that area only belonged to others; there was no benefit for oneself.
Just as Zhu Lan was swimming around like a free fish, a medium-weight cough almost shattered her composure.
“Ahem!”
“Who’s there?!”
Zhu Lan was both shocked and furious.
Could her luck really be this bad?!
Hardening her heart, she dragged her clothes directly into the water.
Only after getting fully dressed did she walk out of the lake soaking wet, looking warily at the nearby bushes.
“Sorry,” Ye Feng said, pushing aside a bush.
“I didn’t mean to watch you. I was just passing by.”
She was shaking with rage! Cold!
It was actually the male lead.
“Ahem,” Ye Feng coughed twice more.
“Small is indeed very cute too!”
Aaaaahhhhh!
If the uncle can endure it, the auntie cannot!
Zhu Lan used a Cloud-Soaring Step and launched a flying kick at him.
You bastard!
Taste Great Zhu Lan’s Leo Kick!!
In her imagination, Zhu Lan’s kick would send the male lead flying two miles away, but in reality…
Smack!
Zhu Lan’s flying kick was easily blocked by Ye Feng, who even caught her foot.
“Hmm, smooth and well-rounded, toes as clear as grapes, white with a hint of pink. Top grade.”
Ye Feng habitually gave a two-sentence evaluation.
Zhu Lan: ???
Was she… being harassed??
Wait, wasn’t the male lead in the original novel serious, warm, upright, and sunny??
Who was this pervert in front of her!!?
Ye Feng set Zhu Lan down and said with a smile, “I remember you know the Seven Kills Technique, but how do I remember that the Seven Kills Technique should have been mine? Can you explain that to me? Fellow countryman?”
Zhu Lan: !
This wasn’t right!
“Odd stays, even changes?”
“Signs depend on the quadrant.”
“What is a shark after it eats mung beans?”
“A Mung Bean Shark.”
“If a cannibal chief is a vegetarian, what should he eat?”
“A plant-based person.”
“Crazy Thursday?”
“Transfer me 50.”
Zhu Lan was completely unsettled.
It turned out she wasn’t the only noble, high-dimensional transmigrator; the male lead was also a fellow countryman from Earth.
Did the male lead also remember the plot…?
“I remember that the banknotes in the pouch tied to your waist also belong to me.”
Zhu Lan felt like she had just woken up from a dream.
Her banknotes!!
Just now, in order to get dressed quickly without exposing herself, she had dressed underwater.
Her banknotes were all wet!
“Oh no!”
Zhu Lan collapsed to the ground in pain, holding the banknotes to her mouth and blowing on them in an attempt to dry them.
Ye Feng wanted to laugh a little when he saw this, but he held it in.
“Fellow countryman, let’s settle the score. Last time you ghosted me for ten roasted chickens, which adds up to at least fifty taels. The Seven Kills Technique is a priceless treasure. And then there’s the fact that you tied me up and threw me in a cave just to get an expert’s inheritance.”
For every sentence Ye Feng spoke, Zhu Lan felt a bit more guilty.
She stubbornly argued, “Look, I didn’t really hurt you. I didn’t take your life.”
Ye Feng nodded in agreement.
“True. If you had tried to take my life before, you wouldn’t be standing here unscathed right now.”
Zhu Lan asked tentatively, “What would have happened?”
Ye Feng said calmly, “Assault first, then kill.”
Zhu Lan: !!!!!!
Do you hear yourself!
Are those words a human should say!
Are those words a male lead should say?
Zhu Lan gave a forced laugh.
“My fellow countryman, finding an old friend in a distant land is a blessing. We high-ranking transmigrators should help each other and establish our own dynasty!”
