Chapter 1261: 2 Women

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

After Ye Tianmei heard about Liu Ming’s bizarre encounters over the years, she was a little dazed and speechless for a while.

“By the way, when I was in Yunchuan, I went to Tianyue Sect to look for you, but I heard from them that you disappeared not long after the war at the Sea Emperor Palace. How did you end up in Savage Wild Continent and even join the Blood Vine Race?” After thinking for a while, Liu Ming glanced at Ye Tianmei and asked.

“I don’t have such a bizarre experience like yours these years. When I traveled to Phoenix Chirp Mountain, I came across a tree beastkin fighting with a Crystallization Period fire spirit phoenix. I helped the tree beastkin to subdue the fire spirit phoenix. However, I didn’t expect that the tree beastkin was a projected avatar of a Mystic Comprehending State elder from Blood Vine Race. Afterward, I was directly brought back to Savage Wild Continent by that elder with a secret treasure. I have been cultivating in Blood Vine Race all these years.” Ye Tianmei said lightly.

“So that’s what happened…Then why is your hair…” Liu Ming glanced at Ye Tianmei’s high-tied hair, hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his doubts.

He noticed this when he first saw Ye Tianmei in Red Water River, and he felt a faint sense of loss in his heart.

After all, tying of a woman’s hair was a sign of dual cultivation with another person.

“I’m wholeheartedly devoted to the cultivation. I just don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.” Hearing this, Ye Tianmei glanced at Liu Ming and said calmly.

Hearing this, Liu Ming couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“By the way, what’s the current situation of the Yunchuan Continent?” Ye Tianmei hesitated for a moment, then she changed the topic and asked.

She was born in the Tianyue Sect, so her sense of belonging to the sect was far higher than that of Liu Ming. Now that she had been away from Sect for so long, she naturally missed the Tianyue Sect a lot.

“Everything in the Yunchuan Continent is fine now. You don’t have to worry about it.” Liu Ming briefly explained the process of helping the human cultivators to defeat the Sea Emperor Palace.

Ye Tianmei also heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

In the following time, they chatted casually for a while, but they both seemed to deliberately avoid a certain topic. They only asked about each other’s current situation, then they each went back to the stone chambers to retreat.

At night, in the stone chamber.

Liu Ming rubbed his hands together and then separated them again. There were crackling sounds in his body. The black air around his body was absorbed back into his body, then he slowly opened his eyes.

After half a day of meditation, his spiritual power and body had fully recovered. With a thought, he got up and walked out of the stone chamber.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he was slightly taken aback.

By a pond not far away, a graceful figure in a white palace costume was standing alone.

This woman was none other than Princess Yao Ji of the Sky Fox Race.

She had come out from her stone room. She was looking at the south with her head slightly raised.

The direction was the original base camp of Sky Fox Race, Wanbo Mountain.

The sky was full of stars with a bright moon. The white moonlight shone on her body, casting a long shadow. An indescribable sense of desolation emerged spontaneously.

The valley under the lonely moon, the beauty by the pond.

Liu Ming was a little dazed by the scene.

Hearing the footsteps, Yao Ji turned around with a slight tremor.

Seeing this, Liu Ming finally came back to his senses, then there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Among the 3, Yao Ji’s injuries were the most serious. She probably wouldn’t be able to recover in a short time.

However, Yao Ji’s expression was as usual at this moment. There was no sign of injury at all.

“Has your injury healed yet?” Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and asked.

“The most important thing now is to escape from this area. There is no time for me to recover slowly. I used a mystic art of my clan, which consumed part of my vitality. My injuries have recovered temporarily.” Yao Ji said lightly.

“Well, since you have no problem, I’ll call Miss Ye and set off immediately.” Liu Ming said after a slight silence.

“Is that Fairy Ye someone you knew before? I heard you called her Master’s Junior. Could it be that she was also from Taiqing Sect?” Yao Ji asked frankly.

“That’s not true. She and I come from the same place, but she is not a Taiqing Sect disciple. This matter… is a long story. I will tell you in detail when I have a chance.” Liu Ming said.

Hearing this, Yao Ji lowered her head and pondered.

Liu Ming’s eyes flashed, and he stood quietly by the side without walking away.

“Mr. Liu, I thank you very much for coming to Wanbo under the current circumstances. If it weren’t for you this time, I’m afraid I would have been murdered… I once said in the upper realm ruins that if you are strong enough, you can come to see me. What I meant… was in fact if you can successfully advance to the Celestial State and have a way to come to the Savage Wild Continent, I will… I will become a dual cultivation partner with you. It’s just that the Sky Fox Race has now suffered a catastrophe. As the princess of the Sky Fox Race, I shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the clan. Therefore, from now on, I will cut off all relationships and devote myself to cultivate. What happened back then, I would like to ask Mr. Liu to treat it as a dream and forget it. However, you and I can still be close friends.” After a long while, Yao Ji raised her head, finally made up her mind, looked into Liu Ming’s eyes, and said.

After Liu Ming listened, he looked at Yao Ji silently for a long time and sighed,

“When I heard about the upheaval in the Sky Fox Race family, I guessed that you might change your mind. If so, then… I respect your decision. I’m satisfied to have a close friend like you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your understanding.” Yao Ji’s shoulders trembled slightly. She lowered her head, bowed at Liu Ming, and walked to the side with light steps.

Liu Ming looked at Yao Ji’s beautiful figure, but he felt very lost in his mind.

However, he was not a person who indulged in sadness, so he quickly collected his mood, came to the stone chamber where Ye Tianmei was practicing, and launched a symbol.

After a while, the door of the stone chamber opened, and Ye Tianmei walked out.

…

In the early morning of the second day, Liu Ming and the 2 women were traveling through the steep mountains beside the Red Water River while concealing their aura.

“Miss Ye, do you know where is the troop that Mr. Xue Wen talked about?” Liu Ming asked.

“To be honest, this is just Master’s Junior Xue Wen’s bluff. In order not to attract attention, the Blood Vine Race sent not many people this time. They entered Wanbo Mountain from different directions.” Ye Tianmei frowned slightly.

“If that’s the case, it may take a lot of trouble. It will take at least a month to fly at full speed to the territory of Blood Vine Race. I’m afraid the Green Snake Race and Shadow Wolf Race will not let us leave easily.” Liu Ming said with a look of contemplation.

“I still have a shortcut, but there are some risks. If you 2 believe in me, you can come with me.” Ye Tianmei hesitated for a moment, glanced at Liu Ming and Yao Ji, and suggested.

Naturally, Liu Ming would not have any doubts about Ye Tianmei. They immediately agreed. Although Yao Ji still had doubts, there was no better way. Seeing that Liu Ming had no objections, she did not object too.

As a result, the 3 of them turned a corner and flew away in another direction.

…

A few days later, after some twists and turns, they came to the edge of a forest.

But the sight really surprised both Liu Ming and Yao Ji.

The whole forest was pitch black and boundless, extending directly to the end of the horizon.

Besides, the sky above the entire forest was also covered with black clouds. At a glance, it seemed that it wasn’t a forest in front of them. It was like a world made of darkness.

Seeing this, Yao Ji’s complexion changed slightly. She said in a somewhat unfriendly tone,

“Miss Ye, do you know where this place is? You actually brought us here?”

“Princess Yao Ji, although the area of the dark forest here is not small, as long as we pass through here, we can return to Luo City within half a month without any obstacles on the way.” Ye Tianmei said in a flat tone.

“Others may not know it, but I grew up here. No one knows the danger of this place better than me. The trees here are called Black Soul Wood, which is unique in this place. It can secrete a black mist that lasts for many years. The accumulation of the dark mist makes it look like a dark night. This black mist contains a special kind of toxicity that can do a lot of damage to Divine Thought. The higher the altitude, the stronger the accumulation of toxicity. Even the cultivator at the Celestial State dares not to fly over without preparation. What’s more frightening is that in the dark forest, there is also a kind of colony-living beastkin called bone-eating demonic ants. The number is endless. These demon ants especially like the poisonous mist emitted by the Black Soul Wood. They usually reside in the Black Soul Wood and feed on the black poisonous mist. Once other creatures appear, these demonic ants will rush out. At that time, no matter how powerful the cultivator is, in face of the endless demonic ants, he will be exhausted to dead. Therefore, no beastkin cultivators dare to go deep into it.” Yao Ji said in a breath with flickering eyes.

Hearing this, Liu Ming couldn’t help but gasp.

Ye Tianmei on the side did not show any surprise, but she said lightly,

“Miss Yao Ji is correct, but when I came, Master had already considered this situation and bestowed on me several treasures. I can assure you that the 3 of us can pass through this dark forest safely. “

Regarding Ye Tianmei’s words, Liu Ming naturally would not have any doubts. After all, although this dark forest looked terrifying, relying on his own strength and escape speed, he was confident to be safe.

“Careful, someone is here!”

Just when Yao Ji was still hesitant, Liu Ming suddenly sent a voice transmission to the 2 women, then he turned around to look at a certain space. The deep voice suddenly resounded through the sky,

“Since everyone is here, why are you sneaking around?”

Just when Yao Ji and Ye Tianmei were a little confused, a deep voice came from a distance.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect that a human cultivator at the Celestial State early stage will have such a powerful Divine Thought. I was a little careless.”

There was a burst of ripples in the space that was originally empty.

After a flash of light, 3 beastkin cultivators walked out.
