"master?"
Liu Shuang was surprised, not expecting that the two had this kind of relationship, which surprised her a little.
He then chuckled softly, looking at Yiting with disbelief in his eyes: "Come on, the way you look at him doesn't lie. You definitely like him."
Yi Ting's face was now so red it looked like it could bleed. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look Liu Shuang in the eye.
"I......"
Liu Shuang crossed her arms, a meaningful smile playing on her lips:
"If you like him, just say so. What's there to be embarrassed about? That Fellow Daoist Wang doesn't seem like an ordinary person either. He's quite strong and handsome. It's perfectly normal for you to like him."
Yi Ting was both embarrassed and angry by Liu Shuang's words. She stomped her foot, let out a soft cry, covered her face with her hands, and then turned her back to Liu Shuang.
Liu Shuang found her appearance quite amusing, and then whispered in her ear:
"Would you like me to teach you a trick or two? I guarantee Fellow Daoist Wang will fall for you."
Yiting's ears instantly turned hot, and she hurriedly took a step to the side, her eyes filled with both shyness and curiosity.
"You...you shouldn't talk nonsense."
Her voice was delicate, but her tone lacked a certain firmness.
Liu Shuang's lips curled up, revealing a sly smile.
"What? Are you shy? I mean well. Look at how outstanding Fellow Daoist Wang is, he will definitely have no shortage of admirers in the future. If you don't take the initiative, someone else will get there first."
Yi Ting bit her lip, her heart filled with turmoil, her mind replaying the words she had just spoken. She couldn't help but imagine the scene of her master being taken away by another woman, and the thought made her heart feel as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, the pain making it hard to breathe.
Then she clenched her fists tightly. No, she absolutely couldn't let that happen!
"I...I don't know what to do." Finally, she spoke her mind.
Liu Shuang's eyes lit up, as if she had found amusement, and she whispered one wise saying after another in Yi Ting's ear.
Upon hearing these strange and unusual facts, Yi Ting's cheeks flushed again, but she also felt a strange sensation in her heart.
She had never imagined that there were so many methods and strategies to win someone's favor.
Her eyes were sometimes lost in thought, sometimes sparkling with light. She couldn't help but wonder if setting aside her shyness and reserve to do things she had never done before would offend her master.
Thinking of this, Yiting said in a low voice.
"I'm still worried... what if he doesn't like me doing this?"
Hearing this, Liu Shuang tapped her forehead in exasperation and said angrily:
"Have you forgotten what I just said? Men are all hypocrites. Don't be fooled by Fellow Daoist Wang's upright appearance; as long as you..."
Liu Shuang continued to impart knowledge to Yi Ting, and time passed by second by second.
At noon, the dazzling sunlight shone on the Spirit Mist Valley, causing the spiritual mist that covered the valley to thin out a bit.
Liu Shuang nodded with satisfaction as she watched Yi Ting, who was having an "epiphany".
"Sister, this is all I can do to help you. Whether you can win over Fellow Daoist Wang is up to you."
Liu Shuang looked at Yi Ting and thought to herself. After observing the time, she knew the time was right and it was time to get down to business.
He slowly walked to the riverbank upstream and took out a palm-sized medicine bottle from the cloth bags at his waist. He then poured it into the river, watching the transparent liquid mix with the water, his eyes filled with anticipation.
As the potion spread, a barely perceptible ripple gradually appeared on the river before it drifted downstream.
After talking for a while, Qin Luo also learned about the overall strength of this team.
The thin man holding the book was named Zhuang Qi. His cultivation level was at the fourth stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm, and he could only barely use spiritual energy to amplify his strength by attaching it to his body.
The short man named Jia Tong was slightly more powerful, at the fifth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, and could begin to use spiritual energy to launch attacks.
Captain Chai Qin's cultivation level has reached the seventh stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm, a stage where he can attach spiritual energy to weapons.
Thinking of this, Qin Luo shook his head inwardly, which made him understand why Chai Qin was trying so hard to win over this cooperation.
It's important to understand that among this team, only Chai Qin possessed the ability to break through the Earth-Splitting Bear King's defenses. The other two were simply not strong enough to distract the Bear King.
However, if Chai Qin is tasked with attracting the Bear King's attention, then the strength of the other two will not be enough to break through the Bear King's impenetrable defense.
That's why Chai Qin was so eager to find help. After all, the Spirit Mist Fruit was a rare opportunity for them; if they obtained it, it could at least compensate for a considerable amount of arduous cultivation.
"It should be about time."
While adjusting his own state, Chai Qin suddenly spoke. As his voice fell, everyone saw the Earth-Splitting Bear King in front of the cave in the distance slowly open its big, copper-bell-like eyes.
It first scanned its surroundings to confirm the safety of its territory before standing up and letting out a low roar.
The roar seemed to be a signal, and the nearby earth bears shook their heads and slowly stood up.
Then the Earthshaker Bear King roared again and strode heavily toward the stream. The rest of the Earthshaker Bears immediately followed behind it, forming a large and imposing procession.
Wherever the bears passed, the ground trembled and a cloud of dust rose.
The Earth-Splitting Bear King walked at the very front, its massive body exuding an aura of oppression.
Soon they arrived at the stream. The Earth-Splitting Bear King lowered its head and drank deeply of the cool water, making gurgling sounds. Seeing this, the other Earth-Breaking Bears followed suit...
However, not long after, a giant bear shook its head, looking somewhat dizzy, and then slowly collapsed to the ground.
The other Earth Bears also began to show the same symptoms. As tremors resounded, the Earth Bears collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
When the Earth-Splitting Bear King saw his people fall one by one, he let out a furious roar. His black fur stood on end, and his powerful aura spread outwards.
At this moment, the Earth-Splitting Bear King also felt a slight dizziness, but with its powerful strength, it suppressed the effects of the potion by simply shaking its huge head.
However, the potion did have some effect on it; one could vaguely sense that its movements had become somewhat sluggish.
"action!"
The group in the distance exchanged glances, and streams of spiritual energy surged from their bodies. Chai Qin and Qin Luo took the lead, their figures flashing like lightning as they rushed towards the Earth-Splitting Bear King.
