One or two times might be tolerable, but if it happens too often, even the most magnanimous person will find it hard to remain indifferent.

A kind word warms the heart for three winter months, while a harsh word chills the heart for six summer months.

Fen Tianming was not such an understanding person; he couldn't pretend nothing had happened after enduring countless taunts and sarcastic remarks.

"Fen Tianming, come here."

Just then, Ji Fanya suddenly spoke up and patted the leather cushion next to him, saying, "If you don't mind the dirt, come and sit with me?"

Actually, this leather cushion looks old and worn, but it has a lot of secrets inside.

No one understands the miasma here better than them, because they had been traversing the Zhuoguang Mountains for the past few days.

The miasma here is strange. It appears suddenly as soon as night falls, but it doesn't stay in one place for long. It moves slowly and then dissipates on its own after dawn.

However, their movement patterns are unpredictable and unpredictable, and many magical beasts die after coming into contact with this miasma.

However, nature is so amazing that even the most terrifying dead places are always accompanied by life.

That day, when the miasma arrived, although they escaped the calamity by using the temporary palace that Jun Feijue had opened, they also discovered a secret.

That is, in the dark night filled with miasma, there are creatures that can move freely inside and use the miasma to help them catch prey. Obviously, the creatures are immune to the miasma.

So, after the miasma passed, they immediately caught a few and brought them back, only to find out that they were actually stream beasts.

The Book of Heaven and Earth records: There is a beast that looks like a dog and is called Xibian. Those who wear its skin will not be harmed by poison.

This means that as long as a person sits or lies on the fur of an animal by the stream, they will not be harmed by miasma.

Therefore, Ji Fanya's invitation was essentially giving Fen Tianming a chance to survive, as a way of repaying him for revealing clues about going to the Empire.

Whether or not he can seize the opportunity depends on Fen Tianming himself.

"How could I possibly refuse your invitation, Your Excellency?"

Upon hearing this, Fen Tianming was stunned for a moment, then nodded and sat down without hesitation.

There was a reason why he made this choice. Although the place where Jun Feijue and the others were at the time was on the outskirts of Zhuoguang Mountain, it was still in the middle of the entire mountain.

Therefore, it is certain that they had spent a considerable amount of time in the mountains before, and given that, they could not have been unaware of the existence of miasma.

The fact that they are still alive and well indicates that they must have methods to deal with miasma.

Although he didn't know what it was, since Ji Fanya had invited him, Fen Tianming knew that he wouldn't die this time.

"I find you to be a rather interesting person."

Ji Fanya rested her chin on her small hand and asked curiously, "You don't seem to be one of them, so how come you're together?"

“I, Gu Ye, come from the same intermediate empire.”

At this point, Fen Tianming gave a self-deprecating bitter smile and said, "My father has some connections with the head of the Gu family. After the head of the family found out, he let me come along. Otherwise, given my family's circumstances, I wouldn't even have enough money for the journey."

"I see. It's quite remarkable that you, born into a poor family, have achieved such success."

After listening, Ji Fanya reached out and patted Fen Tianming on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, the cultivation world is all about respecting the strong. As long as you are strong enough, you will get what you want one day."
