As the task notification appeared, a warm current rose from my feet and shot straight up to my head.
Ye Liang knew that he had reached level fourteen.
Looking at my experience bar, I realized I wasn't far from level 15.
It seems that the experience gained from this mission, amounting to two thousand cultivation points, is quite substantial.
"Junior Sister, don't you feel that your cultivation has increased again?" Ye Liang asked, somewhat puzzled by his junior sister's nonchalant attitude.
"No, what's wrong?" The junior sister was also puzzled.
Is something wrong with me?
"Oh. I suddenly understand." Ye Liang smiled wryly. "I just remembered that I was the one who fished this fish. Once it's completed, only I get the reward. It's the same as the wood-gathering task. I made my junior sister run all this way with me."
"No way." The junior sister disagreed.
The junior sister argued confidently, "Following you to fight the Bigmouth Frog and the Wild Wolf, although we didn't see any improvement in our cultivation level, we did get a Heaven-Mending Talisman from the Bigmouth Frog King. A Heaven-Mending Talisman is so precious, how can that not be considered a gain? Besides, I also got a share of the experience you mentioned from fighting the Wild Boar and Shallow Water Crocodile later. I feel my cultivation level has improved quite a bit. As for the rewards you mentioned for completing the mission, it only applies to you, not me, but what does it matter? I'm happier if you get a reward than if I get one myself. You're so useless; the more rewards you get, the better!"
The words were useless, but Ye Liang was still extremely happy to hear them.
"Yes, Senior Sister!" Ye Liang smiled brightly and saluted his junior sister again. Then, he smiled again and said softly to her, "Junior Sister, we should go back now."
Upon hearing the topic of returning, the junior sister felt it was all too sudden.
"So fast?" Junior Sister thought it was too fast. "Ye Liang, aren't we going to stay here and find the King of the Shallow Water Crocodiles to fight? There are shallow water crocodiles here, so there must be a King of the Crocodiles too. If we find it and kill it, we'll definitely get more Heaven-Mending Talismans. Ye Liang, you have to trust my luck!"
Last time, when high-level players fought low-level frog kings, they usually didn't get any Sky-Mending Talismans. It was usually the junior sister who got them by sheer luck, which made her a little smug.
My junior sister has become arrogant, but she's become even cuter.
Ye Liang smiled slightly, then turned his head and looked towards the mountains, saying, "Junior Sister, when I left, I promised you I would only be gone for two days at most. Otherwise, you would think something had happened to us and come looking for us. You'd want to see us alive or dead. It's already afternoon, and it won't be easy for us to get to the mountain before dark. We won't be back at the mountain gate until tomorrow morning at the earliest. Getting there before noon will count as two days."
"Ah. The afternoon of the day you left is also included?" The junior sister suddenly felt that the calculation of the time was too strict.
Ye Liang said to her, "I'm strict with myself because I have more important things to do."
Ye Liang swore that he would wipe out the bandits in three days, and he would definitely do it.
The three-day vow passed by too quickly; Ye Liang now feels a sense of urgency as he returns.
"Alright then. Let's go back. I'm also worried about Senior Sister and the safety of the sect. I wonder how they are doing, and whether those despicable bandits have come to bully us again these past two days." Junior Sister also looked towards the direction of the sect gate with Ye Liang, lost in thought.
Although she was separated by a mountain and couldn't see her sect on the other side, she really missed her senior sister and the sect, and was worried about them. She wondered if the bandits had come to cause trouble at the sect again these past two days.
At this moment, she was even more eager to go back than Ye Liang was.
"Ye Liang, let's hurry! We can go back tonight, as long as you can hold on." The junior sister suddenly missed home, longing to return to her senior sister.
"Okay. Let's go back!" The suggestion from her junior sister to go back overnight was very appealing and exciting to Ye Liang.
He was even willing to rush back overnight.
Because I was really worried about the safety of the senior sisters in the sect.
"We're not going to look for the Shallow Water Crocodile King anymore, and we're not going to fight him either." Ye Liang and his junior sister Yang Ting turned around and headed back up the mountain.
While climbing the mountain, the two encountered a landslide. After the landslide, the exposed rocks were not the common blue-green color of bluestone, but rather a reddish-brown.
This was a bit strange. Before leaving, Ye Liang still went to see the place with his junior sister.
Risking a landslide.
After tapping the mine with a pickaxe and analyzing his mining skills, Ye Liang confirmed his thoughts.
"Junior Sister, this is limonite!"
"Really?" The junior sister was pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect that this time, she would not only find meteorite iron, but also iron ore.
"Ye Liang, what are we waiting for? Let's dig!"
Ye Liang was almost about to start mining when he suddenly stopped and said, "Junior Sister, mining takes too much time. If we don't hurry back, it will get dark. Let's get going."
"That's true. But what about this iron ore mine? What if we leave, and someone else discovers this place and takes it for themselves?" The junior sister was a little reluctant to part with these mineral resources.
Ye Liang thought for a moment and said, "Then let them take it. We can look for other mineral deposits later."
Rich young masters are so easygoing.
Actually, you could say he's used to being extravagant and has a habit of wasting money!
Of course, this time, Ye Liang wasn't being wasteful; rather, he was making a choice for something more important.
