Hearing these discouraging words, Yan Li was momentarily speechless.
She looked at Wen Shanbai, who was hanging his head and exuding an aura of death, and patted him on the shoulder.
Wen Shanbai was very good at taking advantage of her. Before Yan Li could react, he grabbed her elbow and pulled her into his arms.
Before Yan Li could speak, he whispered again, "Ah Li, you are the first living person I've met here, and you will be the last."
"I just want you to be well before I die."
Wen Shanbai's voice carried a hint of longing as he buried his head in the crook of her neck, taking a shallow breath of her scent.
Yan Li felt a thin, warm breath spraying on the side of her neck, slightly itchy and with a slight tingling sensation.
She reached out, trying to push Wen Shanbai's head away.
The hand, which was hovering in mid-air, paused for a moment, and then Yan Li reached out to touch it.
How pitiful.
To have lived in a place like this for so long without going crazy shows a much better mentality than hers.
…*…
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Li finally emerged from the cave, but she did not take Wen Shanbai with her.
His body was truly weak; he was so angry that he actually collapsed.
Seeing this, how could Yan Li possibly agree to let him come out? Taking advantage of his inattention, she knocked him unconscious with a palm strike, then picked him up and placed him on the only stone bed.
The environment here is absolutely uninhabitable for humans.
It's not just lacking in the warmth of everyday life, it's also devoid of human presence.
She extended her finger, placing the pad of her finger on the vein on Wen Shanbai's wrist.
A short while later, Yan Li sighed.
He really is an ordinary person, so ordinary that even his physical attributes are extremely ordinary.
She tucked Wen Shanbai's hands into the blanket, covered them up, and then turned away.
Unbeknownst to Yan Li, the moment she stepped out of the cave, Wen Shanbai, who should have been asleep, slowly opened his eyes.
He sat up, feeling the extra energy within his body, and a smile played on his lips.
His Ah Li was so good to him. Even though she didn't have much spiritual power herself, she still helped him a lot.
They're just not very well-behaved.
***
Outside the cave.
For Yan Li, who had already become an immortal, seeing in the dark was not a difficult task. However, as she walked, she discovered that this abyss was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
For example, Yan Li just noticed that there was a towering wall about thirty or forty meters away from her.
It looked like the end of this abyss.
She suppressed her confusion and walked another hundred steps or so before discovering that the wall seemed to have grown legs, always maintaining the same distance from her.
As he drew closer, the wind blowing on her grew increasingly chilly, and seemed to be growing stronger.
Yan Li frowned slightly, and stopped after realizing something was wrong.
After a brief moment of thought, she stretched out her hand, formed a hand seal, and said, "Disperse."
Spiritual energy overflowed from her fingertips, shooting towards the wall like a shooting star, gleaming brightly.
But before long, just when Yan Li thought she could uncover the secret of the wall, the flowing spiritual power became entangled with the black mist that had merged with the darkness.
The light began to dim, and finally, little by little, it vanished into nothingness.
Upon seeing this, Yan Li almost instinctively took a step back.
"Click"
A crisp sound rang out, extremely noticeable in this environment. Yan Li thought of what Wen Shanbai had said earlier and immediately felt a chill run down her spine.
She looked down, and in the darkness, she could clearly see that she was standing on a broken bone that had been split in two.
Those are human bones.
In an instant, Yan Li recognized him.
But then, in the hazy darkness, starting from that wall, one after another, like sparks of fire, pairs of eyes, glowing green and red, slowly opened.
He stared intently at her again.
Their eyes were so greedy, as if they were glued to her, following her like a shadow, unwilling to look away even an inch.
The flat ground began to tremble, and soon countless vines sprouted from the ground, rapidly approaching her.
At the critical moment.
A ray of light appeared in the darkness.
Yan Li summoned her natal magic weapon, Xuan Shuang.
With a single sword strike, she severed all the vines that were rushing towards her, and even ignited a spiritual fire, forming a seemingly natural dividing line.
The crackling sound of burning filled the air. The vines that were originally meant to bind people seemed to have come to life. Instead of blindly moving forward, they curled up and drooped down.
The pairs of eyes behind it were even more astonished, and they all blinked at the same time.
An ordinary person would probably be terrified and run away in panic if they saw such a bizarre scene, but Yan Li was different. She was certain that the ghost wall she had just experienced was related to these things.
So she didn't stop there.
Xuan Shuang rose as summoned, and as Yan Li continuously poured in spiritual power, a magic array slowly emerged beneath her feet.
Almost instantly, the vines that were still probing the spirit fire began to shrink into the ground, their movements swift and rapid, as if they were afraid that if they were a step too late, they would be caught by Yan Li.
But obviously.
The vine's worries were completely unnecessary.
Because Yan Li didn't give it a chance to burrow into the mud again.
Just as it was about to escape, Yan Li grasped the Xuan Shuang and finished the last stroke of the magic array.
Immediately, the sword was stuck into the vine. Yan Li slowly walked forward, grabbed it with his bare hands, and exerted a little force once again.
They pulled the vines out by the roots.
