It probably took them a whole day to walk before Mingluo and Ye Zhihan found a place suitable for them to stay temporarily. In order not to hold Ye Zhihan back, she didn't say the word "tired" once during the whole process. Now she was almost exhausted, while Pangtao had already fallen asleep on Ye Zhihan's shoulder.
This time their residence was a small cabin in the woods, which looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. The whole house looked a bit shabby and there was not even a door.
Mingluo knew that Ye Zhihan had to try his best to stay hidden to ensure his survival, so he didn't complain at all. Instead, he happily ran into the house and sat down with a satisfied look on his face.
Indeed, after being tired all day, she was so happy when she saw the cottage that she had no mind to complain about it being too shabby.
Unexpectedly, she fell asleep while sitting because she was too tired. Her little face was gray and she curled up against the back of the chair, looking very cold.
Ye Zhihan caressed Mingluo's forehead lovingly and injected a trace of true energy into her to warm her body. Worried, he took off his coat and covered her with it. In fact, he didn't need to worry about Mingluo's warmth, because there was a colorful skirt on the surface of her skin, so she was not afraid of the cold. The reason why she curled up into a ball was just her usual sleeping position.
After spending so much time together, Ye Zhihan understood that the sleeping girl before him was indeed timid, but beneath her timidity, she possessed a certain strength. Mingluo, a mere ordinary human with no prior training, had followed him into this desolate, deep forest, observing his surroundings nervously, fearing any danger might harm Ye Zhihan, whose body had yet to fully recover. She hadn't considered retreating back into the shadows.
"Alas, why can't you rely on me a little?" Ye Zhihan sighed slightly. In this world, shouldn't he be the one to protect her?
…
Mingluo was once again woken by a large, golden lion. This time, the lion excitedly ran to play with her, and then fell asleep from exhaustion. Mingluo leaned against it, feeling the unique warmth of its fur, and fell into a deep sleep. Eventually, she was woken by the warmth of the golden lion's body.
After waking up, Mingluo found himself lying in an elegant little room. The bed was clean and tidy, and the warm sun outside just hit the quilt, making it warm and comfortable. Although the table and chairs in the room were slightly damaged, they were also very clean. The whole room was spotless, and there was no trace of the shabby appearance it had last night.
When Mingluo stood up, Ye Zhihan just walked in. When he saw the sleepy Mingluo, the coldness in his eyes suddenly softened.
"Let's have dinner together." His clear and steady voice sounded very comfortable.
Fat Peach imitated Ye Zhihan and flew in with a plate as big as its body. As it flew, it said aggrievedly, "Mingluo, you're finally awake. That bad guy Ye Zhihan exploited me all night long, and I haven't slept yet!"
Mingluo covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled as she took the plate and gently touched its head. She thought that Ye Zhihan must have dragged Pangtao to do housework and cleaning all night.
After dinner, Ming Luo sat at the door of the house and watched Ye Zhihan who was meditating and studying the mind-method of the cross-border cultivators. He felt a little bored for a moment and began to think about many things.
Now she didn't know how long she would have to live in the Suma Continent. As a human being, she couldn't fight against any creatures in the Suma Continent. Seeing that Ye Zhihan had become a cross-border person, he would definitely be targeted by other monsters and demons. If she continued to rely on Ye Zhihan and Fat Tao, it would be easy to implicate them both. So Mingluo wanted to learn some escape skills. Even if she didn't want to become a big shot like Ye Zhihan, she should at least have some self-protection ability.
It's impossible to be a loser, not in this life, so I can only learn some small skills!
"Fat Peach!" Ming Luo waved his hand and called little Fat Peach over with a mysterious look on his face.
Fatty Peach had a round belly filled with porridge and two small snacks from the morning. He was still grunting and biting a piece of cake. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Mingluo had a wicked smile on her face, her eyes sparkling. She whispered in Fatty's ear, "Do you think I have the potential to practice?"
"I wish you did, but you didn't." Fat Tao said mercilessly, puffing out her belly.
Ming Luo was immediately devastated. She lowered her head and said angrily, "What should I do? I want to learn some skills to protect myself."
Fatty Tao was quite honest. While eating the cake, he said, "Why do you need to practice? Look at Ye Zhihan. He's so good to you, he will definitely protect you. Besides, I'm not a bad person either, so protecting you is no big deal!"
As he spoke, Fat Tao puffed out his chest, looking very strong. The biscuit he had just swallowed slowly went down into his stomach in front of Ming Luo, mixing with the other food in his stomach.
"There's no reason to always be a burden..." Mingluo said dejectedly.
Seeing that Mingluo was indeed very distressed, Fatty Peach rubbed his head and thought for a long time before saying, "Practicing is not an easy thing. Becoming a master may not be possible, but learning some simple skills should be no problem."
When Mingluo heard Fatty Peach change her tune, she excitedly hugged it and shook it, asking, "How do I learn? How do I learn?!"
Fat Tao was almost about to spit out the cake after being shaken by her, so he quickly used his chubby little hands to pull Ming Luo's hands away from holding him.
Mingluo scratched his head apologetically and quickly helped Pangtao to relieve her stomach.
"The Suma continent has abundant spiritual energy, so many creatures have developed intelligence and cultivated human form. Logically speaking, you were born in human form, so it should be easier for you to cultivate. Why don't you try the most basic sense of breath?" Fat Peach answered seriously. It was just a fat peach, but now it was teaching humans to cultivate. It was really difficult for it.
