Upon hearing Lin Caogen's words of comfort, Bai Su suddenly cried out, "My benefactor! I grew up by the sea and have never been to the distant jungles. I am only 18 years old! I am still a blank slate! I know nothing! I really dare not go to the distant jungles!"
As she spoke, Bai Su's tears began to fall onto her soft breasts.
Lin Caogen sighed and said, "We are both wanderers in this world! Why should we need to know each other before we meet? Since that's the case, if you don't mind, come with me! But I am also like a lost soul, not knowing where to go next!"
Bai Su burst into tears of joy, saying, "This is wonderful! I am willing to follow you, my benefactor. Wherever you go, I will follow you. I was destined to die! Now that you have saved me from this sea of suffering, I will give my life to you from now on!"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "No need for such formalities! Let's set off as soon as possible! My strength isn't very stable either! I'm not actually very safe here with you sea people! By the way, what's the deal with your sea people's worship of the gods? It feels really eerie!"
Bai Su smiled and said, "It seems my benefactor is unfamiliar with our local customs! Let me explain to him! Every year on the night of the 10th of January, lightning strikes down from the sky to strike all living beings! Moreover, when the lightning strikes, a heavenly palace appears on the clouds! All these signs indicate that there are gods in the world! Think about it, benefactor, how could ordinary people build houses in the sky?"
Lin Caogen said, "The Heavenly Palace on the Clouds? I definitely saw it last night! There's probably something fishy about this!"
Bai Su nodded and said, "Actually, I've been researching the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top all along! It's a pity I haven't reached the Core Formation stage yet. If I had wings, I would definitely fly in and take a look! By the way, benefactor! I still don't know your name. Are you a forest dweller?"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "My name is Lin Caogen, and I'm not from the jungle! I'm from outer space! Have you ever heard of the Immortal Continent?"
Bai Su exclaimed in surprise, "Immortal Gang Continent! I know it! I've read about it in ancient books. They say the Immortal Gang Continent is vast and boundless, its area is trillions of times larger than our continent. I never imagined that you, Brother Lin, were a cultivator from the Immortal Gang Continent. No wonder your cultivation is so terrifying; you were only at the Body Refining stage and yet you were able to kill a Core Formation stage cultivator!"
Lin Caogen sighed and said, "I'm ashamed to say that my cultivation level is like this! I came with my friends this time, but unfortunately I went into the sea alone last night and now I've gotten separated from them!"
With red eyes, Bai Su said, "It's all my fault! If it weren't for me, Brother Lin, you wouldn't have lost contact with your friends! I, Bai Su, swear! I will use everything I have to make up for what Brother Lin has lost today."
Lin Caogen affectionately patted Bai Su's hair and smiled, "Let's go! But I don't know where to go!"
Bai Su smiled and said, "I have a great idea! We can go to Changbai Mountain in the northern part of the jungle! I have a good friend who is the daughter of the chief of the Changbai Mountain jungle tribe. We often exchange letters to discuss the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds, but we have never met. Now that we have the opportunity to leave home, why not go and take a look!"
Lin Caogen thought for a moment and said, "Alright then! Anyway, I don't know where to go! Is your friend reliable? After all, you two are just pen pals and have never met."
Bai Su smiled and said, "Brother Lin, don't worry! Her name is Wu Meiniang. As the saying goes, one's handwriting reflects one's character. I can understand her quality from her letters. She must be a very, very good person!"
"Alright then! We shouldn't linger here, let's set off now! But I don't know how to get to the land north of the jungle!"
"Don't worry, Brother Lin! I have a map in my spatial ring. We can just buy a carriage and set off quietly!"
Lin Caogen nodded, and then Bai Su took out a makeup box and said, "Brother Lin, wait for me a moment! I'll disguise myself a little to avoid being recognized by the fishermen around here!"
Bai Su skillfully began applying makeup, and in no time her appearance changed dramatically, transforming herself into a charming young woman.
Bai Su then said, "Brother Lin! When you jumped into the sea to salvage the ship, you were inevitably seen by some people with ulterior motives. Why don't you change your clothes too?"
Lin Caogen exclaimed, "Little Susu, your disguise is truly amazing! I almost didn't recognize you!"
Bai Su laughed and said, "I've loved makeup since I was little, and disguise is my specialty! If Brother Lin ever falls for a beautiful woman but can't have her, I'll disguise myself as her!"
Lin Caogen chuckled and said, "Wouldn't that mean if I got you, I'd get all the beauties in the world!"
Bai Su suddenly became sad and said, "It's just a pity that I can't always stay by your side, Brother Lin!"
Lin Caogen was taken aback and asked, "You don't want to?"
Bai Su quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, no! Brother Lin, you've misunderstood! I also want to stay with you forever! But you are an eagle in the sky, and you will eventually fly back to the Immortal Continent. This little place is definitely not a place for you to stay for long!"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "Then I'll take you with me!"
Bai Su shook her head and said, "Impossible! Every ten years or so, the continent we live on approaches the Immortal Gang Continent. Many of our clan's elders have tried to fly to the Immortal Gang Continent! Unfortunately, they were blocked by the formation, and no one could leave! We must be prisoners locked up by the gods!"
Lin Caogen suddenly felt that Bai Su's situation was really similar to his own! Maybe this fragmented continent really was a place where some powerful being from ancient times imprisoned prisoners!
"Don't be discouraged! Once I reach the Immortal Venerable or Immortal Saint realm, I will definitely come back to dispel the formation on this continent and take you away!"
Bai Su nodded happily and said, "Then I will definitely wait until that day! Brother Lin, your talent is amazing! You will definitely succeed!"
Lin Caogen sighed inwardly. Bai Su's talent was also astonishing, but unfortunately, the concentration of immortal energy on this fragmented continent was only half that on the third ring of the Immortal Gang Continent! It was too remote! The residents of this fragmented continent were all malnourished. Fortunately, there was not much war, so it was a paradise. However, it was too superstitious. The long-term isolation had caused the residents' intelligence to drop, and they had all become fools.
