"Still leaving?"
"I'm not leaving. I'm so tired. If you want to leave, go ahead!" Xing Zhier said in a dissatisfied tone. She squatted down on the spot and acted like a spoiled child.
Li Mingzhe hid his smile and said, "Are you really not leaving? This desolate wilderness..."
"No! Just let me be eaten by the monsters in this wilderness." Xing Zhi'er's feet were so painful that she didn't want to move at all. She just wanted to rest, but Li Mingzhe refused her. So she raised her head and said angrily, "I will leave if you carry me."
Li Mingzhe felt amused: If I carry you on my back, do you still call me walk?
Xing Zhier said this just because she thought Li Mingzhe would not carry her.
"Come up." Li Mingzhe turned his back naturally and squatted in front of her.
Xing Zhi'er was a little stunned. Li Mingzhe was the only son of the Zhufeng clan leader. He had been loved by the clan leader since he was a child. He was a well-known nobleman who never bowed to others.
Furthermore, Li Mingzhe's cultivation was formidable, making him the undisputed leader of Zhufeng's generation. His prestige within Zhufeng was comparable to that of the current Zhufeng clan leader, Li Yao. This was before he took office; if he were to take office in a few years, Zhufeng's reputation would likely be even greater.
Xing Zhier once heard her father say that Li Mingzhe was an extraordinary person with a deep mind and was very cunning. If he could grow up, he would definitely become the most respected patriarch of Zhufeng.
It can be said that Li Mingzhe's status and position are even higher than Xing Zhier's.
Xing Zhi'er thought vaguely that this wasn't the first time Li Mingzhe had carried her on his back. The last time was when Li Mingzhe was a child and came to Jinming to practice. Back then, she was afraid of losing face and had traded a treasure with him.
Why did he agree so easily today?
"If you don't come up, I..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a sinking sensation on his back.
"Who said I won't come up!" It's a good thing to take advantage of something that's given to you for free! Besides, it would be such a great honor to let the young patriarch Zhu Feng carry her on his back. Why wouldn't she want it?
The girl's soft hair was messing around her neck, and her unique fragrance lingered in Li Mingzhe's nose.
Where Xing Zhier couldn't see, Li Mingzhe had a faint smile on his lips. He felt happy and couldn't help but think of when he was young and went to Jinming to "cultivate" and Xing Zhier played games with a group of Jinming kids.
At that time, Xing Zhier was spoiled by the leader of the Jinming clan and became arrogant. She was not very popular and no one wanted to play with her. She just stood aside and looked at the other children nonchalantly.
Li Mingzhe has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, so he naturally saw the loneliness and sadness in Xing Zhier's eyes.
He walked over slowly, glanced at the children playing with others on their backs across the bridge not far away, and took the initiative to ask, "Want to play?"
Xing Zhi'er said awkwardly with a stubborn face, "I don't want to!"
His eyes were clearly fixed on that place, yet he said he didn't want to.
Li Mingzhe didn't expose her, pretending to be regretful and said, "I've encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation recently. I wanted to play games with you and then ask you for some spirit stones, but I didn't expect you to refuse so decisively..."
He turned and was about to leave when Xing Zhier quickly called out to him, "Hey! Stop right there! I'm a generous lady, so I'll just, I'll just help you out of reluctance." She avoided his gaze and pretended to be arrogant. "Come here, carry me."
Li Mingzhe seemed very surprised and stood there without moving.
Xing Zhier: "Do you really want me to carry you on my back?"
Li Mingzhe walked over, turned his back and squatted in front of her, saying, "Of course not. Come up."
Xing Zhier put her arms around Li Mingzhe's neck. She leaned carefully against his neck, her eyes hazy as if she saw Li Mingzhe as a child.
Was he sincere to me at that time?
How could Young Clan Leader Zhu Feng be short of spirit stones...it was just an excuse.
She stared at Li Mingzhe and suddenly thought: He knows how to lie at such a young age, he is definitely not a good person!
Xing Zhier's gaze was too scorching, and it was hard for Li Mingzhe not to notice it. He had no idea what she was secretly planning in her mind, and why she had such a strong resentment.
"Hold on tight."
Xing Zhier said "Oh" and did not do it.
Suddenly, Li Mingzhe slipped and almost fell.
Xing Zhier was so frightened that she hugged Li Mingzhe's neck tightly and said in panic, "Do you want to throw me to death?!"
Li Mingzhe stood firm and said in a strangled voice: "So you want to strangle me to death?!"
There was an imperceptible smile in his words, but Xing Zhier was still in shock and didn't notice it. She hastily relaxed her strength and muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's because you didn't walk steadily..." When she saw the red marks on Li Mingzhe's neck caused by her strangulation, she was speechless for a moment.
"I've rested enough. I'd better walk on my own..." Saying this made her seem guilty, so Xing Zhi'er quickly tried to make amends: "Be careful not to let you fall on me."
Li Mingzhe lifted Xing Zhier up and said with a smile, "I won't let you fall." Besides, he did it on purpose just now.
"You!" Xing Zhi'er tightened her grip with just the right amount of force, angrily saying, "You're playing tricks on me again."
She pretended to punch him on the back, but this man was so hateful that Li Mingzhe suddenly said seriously, "Don't move!"
Xing Zhi'er remained silent, feeling the chill all around her. Soon, the surroundings were shrouded in thick fog, even her inspiration was blocked, unable to detect the outside world.
The peace and tranquility of the past few days had caused both of them to relax their vigilance against the Dream Mirror, leading to this sudden change that caught them off guard.
Xing Zhier patted Li Mingzhe's shoulder, and Li Mingzhe understood and put her down: "Hold on to the corner of my clothes, don't walk around."
"good."
The voice was too docile, coupled with the strange touch on the neck and the foul smell in the nose, Li Mingzhe's eyes flashed, he drew his sword and turned around to put it on the neck of the person behind him.
It was also a face that was so rotten that it was beyond the sight of the eyes. The flesh on her face had rotted away, and the bones were visible in some places. The places with some flesh and blood were uneven, as if something was wriggling inside, which made people's scalps tingle.
"Where did you hide her?" His voice was as cold as ice, as if he could cut the rotten corpse in front of him into pieces in the next moment.
The man's bones creaked all over his body, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he exhaled a pungent corpse odor. His hoarse voice said word by word: "She, won't, come back."
"Looking for death!" Li Mingzhe chopped off her head with a sword.

"Okay. I have cleared all the evil spirits from it." Absorbing evil spirits consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Yuan Shuang was so tired that he sat down on the ground in a disgraceful manner.
She had a relaxed smile on her face and casually wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her lively facial features were particularly eye-catching under the sunlight, and Sha Pan was stunned for a moment.
"Why are you looking at me!" Yuan Shuang said dissatisfiedly.
Sha Pan's cheeks flushed, and he turned his head away in panic, saying, "Give me back the stone right away!"
"That's mine, why should I give it back to you?" Yuan Shuang made a face at him.
"You!" Sha Pan's face flushed red, not knowing how to respond. He said angrily and shamefully, "If you don't give it to me, I don't want it!"
"If you don't want it, then you don't want it." Yuan Shuang had rested enough. She stood up, patted her dusty clothes, and muttered, "I'll broadcast this later and see if you still want it."
Sha Pan was furious: "Tell me, what can I give you in exchange for giving it to me?"
Yuan Shuang raised her eyebrows and smiled triumphantly: "Medicinal herbs."
"Okay." It's just a few medicinal herbs, and it can save his life. It's a good deal, Sha Pan comforted himself.
Li Ling looked at Sha Pan's secretly delighted expression and knew that he had overestimated the situation. He shook his head, and he knew he would suffer the consequences.
"Alright. It's almost dark. Dangers at night are more difficult to prevent. We can't let our guard down."
They both said in unison: "Okay."
Yuan Shuang suddenly turned around and looked at Sha Pan, and asked, "By the way, my name is Yuan Shuang, Yuan means water source, and Shuang means frost cold."
Yuan Shuang pointed at Li Ling and introduced himself, "That's Brother Ling, you can call him Big Brother Ling. Big Lengzi, what's your name?"
Sha Pan stepped on a large rock and said, "Humph! Remember this, my name is Sha Pan."
Yuan Shuangweiwei: "Oh~"
"What do you mean by 'Oh~'? Is my name weird?"
Yuan Shuang touched his chin and frowned, "No. I just thought your name sounded familiar."
"Are you the second young master of Panqiu?" Li Ling asked.
"Yeah." Sha Pan didn't expect Li Ling to know him, and his expression was a little unnatural.
After being reminded, Yuan Shuang instantly remembered. He slapped his head excitedly and said loudly: "I remember who you are! You are that good-for-nothing young master of Panqiu, wuwuwu!"
Li Ling quickly covered her mouth and smiled awkwardly at Sha Pan.
