—On a deserted, ancient road.

A black-robed youth and a white-skirted girl walked back and forth.

“Miss Xiaohua, there are so many male cultivators here, yet why do you want to walk with me?”

Ling Aotian turned back and asked with a smile.

In fact, he had probably guessed the reason.

For one, the fact that he had chatted with Juan’er so well just now must have been seen by this white-skirted maiden, so she wanted to cling to him, and thus to Juan’er.

After all, Juan’er was the person in charge of the Dark Night House clearly, and had a lot of authority.

Secondly, because he was handsome and this young girl was pure and sweet-looking, she was attracted to him.

After all, it was only natural for a beauty to fall for a handsome gentleman.

“Even though Young Master Ling knows why, humph.”

Lihua, disguised as a white-skirted girl, feigned anger and sulked.

“It’s because you’re handsome that I want to go with you and it’s dangerous here. I’m scared.”

“You’re not going to drive me away, are you, Young Master Ling?”

she said as she held a pair of small hands over her chest, showing a worried and frightened expression.

“Hahaha! Don’t worry, Miss Xiaohua,”

With a dazzling and confident wave of his big hand, Ling Aotian laughed and said.

“Although I am handsome, I am not a shallow and thin-skinned person!”

“As for safety, Miss Xiaohua, doesn’t need to worry.”

“I will definitely keep you safe!”

“Hahahaha!”

He was in a good mood, quite enjoying this feeling of being relied on by a beautiful girl.

Sure enough, his own charm was really hard to resist for women, what a sinful man I am.

Lihua smiled happily as she heard this.

“Then, thank you, Young Master Ling, you’re kind!”

Is this male lead?

You’re not even as handsome as Jiang Mu.

Lihua’s impression of Ling Aotian, the male protagonist, could only be described as mediocre.

After all, she had lived for four hundred years and had seen countless handsome young men.

And the reason she wanted to be with Ling Aotian was because she knew that Jiang Mu would secretly follow Ling Aotian.

She was purely curious as to how Jiang Mu would turn the plot around and correct it.

Roar–!

There was a roar of a demonic beast and a miserable scream from up ahead.

“Miss Xiaohua! Someone might be hunting demonic beasts up ahead, let’s go take a look!”

Ling Aotian said, taking the lead and running over.

Lihua followed closely.

And behind the two of them, a cute young girl in a yellow dress was secretly following.

“Well, it’s coming, Ling Aotian’s Treasure Hunt storyline.”

Jiang Mu, who had been transformed into a young girl, recalled the original plot.

“Ling Aotian will go on a rampage, looting the treasured swords found by the other cultivators, and the demon cores they hunted.”

“But he underestimated his opponent, resulting in a failed loot.”

“Then as he was about to borrow the power of the Black Water Fury.”

“Instead, Lihua took the initiative to save him, which was only to gain his trust and facilitate the investigation of him.”

“This caused Ling Aotian to fall in love with Lihua as well.”

“That’s when the so-called relationship line began to develop.”

“Well, that’s probably about it.”

The abandoned open square.

Two male cultivators, were busy dismembering a dead two-headed wolf demon beast with their swords.

“We’re so lucky, not only did we found two treasured swords, but we also happened to encounter a weakened two-headed wolf.”

“That’s because, this is only the border town of the Lingyin Kingdom, if we go further inside, the more powerful the demonic beasts will be.”

“That’s true, but let’s hope that this wolf will have a demon core, so we can make a small profit.”

“Let’s hope so …. Hmm? It’s a demon core! I got one! Hahahaha!”

One of the cultivators, dug out an egg-sized, dark red demon core from inside the wolf’s head.

“I got it too! Hahahaha!”

Another cultivator, too, dug out a demon core from inside another wolf’s head.

The two of them were so happy that they let out a loud laugh.

At that moment.

Dang!

A black shadow descended from the sky and landed behind the duo.

“Who’s there!”

The duo turned around in shock, wary of the black-robed youth in front of them.

The youth was naturally Ling Aotian.

He smiled wickedly and coldly, and said proudly.

“Hand over the demon core, don’t force me to use force.”

Rob our treasure?

The two looked at each other and both froze for a moment.

They examined Ling Aotian.

They found that his left hand was wrapped in a white bandage, so he was obviously injured.

And the aura of spiritual power emanating from his body was only that of a Spirit Gathering Mirror.

Such a half-cripple dared to rob them of the 『Lightning Spirit Duo』?

Either he was retarded or …. had something to rely on!

They looked around nervously.

Eventually, they saw that far behind Ling Aotian, there stood a young girl in a white dress.

However, that young girl’s aura was only that of a Spirit Gathering Mirror, and it looked like she did not intend on coming over to help Ling Aotian at all.

This situation could make the two of them laugh.

“Hehe, you want to rob us even if you’re like this? Are you out of your mind?”

“I think he must be, he has one Gathering Spirit Mirror to beat two of us, how dare he?”

The duo jeered, carrying their swords step by step towards Ling Aotian.

They intended to educate this brat who didn’t know how high the sky was.

Ling Aotian did not retreat in the slightest. He half-crouched, his right arm clenched into a fist, and smiled coldly.

“A mere two Spirit Gathering Mirrors, Laozi can defeat you with one hand!”

“”Don’t you be cocky!!!””

The two were enraged by his words and immediately burst out with their spiritual energy.

With great speed, they dashed towards Ling Aotian.

“You guys… W-why are you guys so fast!”

Ling Aotian was suddenly stunned.

But he had no time to think. The only thing he could do was gather his spiritual power, and his right fist gathered spiritual power and shot at the duo.

Crackling clang clang clang!!!

A few moments passed.

“Let go of me!!!”

Ling Aotian was stomped on by the duo, his nose bruised, and his face swollen as he roared in rage.

“Let go of you? You who didn’t even have any hair down there, how dare you come and rob us without asking about our 『Lightning Spirit Duo』? Huh?”

One of the cultivators, spat on Ling Aotian.

“What?! You guys are actually the …. 『Lightning Spirit Duo』!”

Ling Aotian was shocked.

He had thought that these two were just ordinary cultivators.

But to his surprise, they are 『Lightning Spirit Duo』 who were known for their speed!

If Master Black Water Fury was around, even if they were faster and stronger, he, Ling Aotian, would definitely not be afraid!

But the master had not returned.

So, to get out of danger.

He would either have to expose his last card: the prismatic crystal block in his heart.

Either that, or Little Girl would come to his rescue.

Turning back, Ling Aotian looked towards Xiaohua, who was standing in the distance.

Instead, he found her looking around, not knowing what she was looking for.

“Ling Aotian has been beaten down yet, so it’s time for Jiang Mu to come out, right?”

Curious, Lihua pressed her palm against her forehead and looked around for Jiang Mu spreading her spiritual energy.

It looked like she was completely unconcerned about the battle on Ling Aotian’s side.

Seeing this, Ling Aotian could only make up his mind in secret.

There was no way out…

Only …. Expose the Trump card!

So he secretly activated the prismatic crystal block of his heart.

…

“Damn it, this Lihua, the hell are you looking around!”

“Can’t you see that Ling Aotian is being knocked down! Why don’t you go and save him?”

“If you save him, you’ll gain his trust! And he’ll love you for it!”

“Are you still investigating? Are you going to develop a love relationship or not? Fuck!”

Jiang Mu, who was hiding behind the remnants of the wall, and secretly observing, cursed at Lihua with hatred.

Although he had already predicted that Lihua was crooked as well.

But when he himself saw it, he still couldn’t help, but still cursed.

After all, this was a direct result. Ling Aotian’s treasure capture plot had flipped.

And in this way.

Without the help of the Black Water Fury, Ling Aotian would have to resort to using the ‘source fragment’ of his heart to turn defeat into victory.

“No way! If he reveals the ‘Source Fragment’ as his trump card now, then the main storyline will be messed up.”

“Damn it, he has to be stopped!”

There was no way, in order for the outcome of the plot not to deviate.

Jiang Mu had no choice but to act.
