Chapter 48 Little tail? I will protect you
The bloody plateau was dark, and large rift valleys stretched across the land.
There was still some thin blood-red mist floating in the void.
Countless monsters rushed out from various areas, creating a rolling torrent, stirring up smoke and dust all over the sky, with rocks rolling and the mountains rumbling and shaking.
Chi! A dazzling sword energy suddenly fell from the sky like a cold waterfall.
The void seemed to be solidified. Wherever the sword energy passed, large groups of monsters were frozen in an instant, and then turned into powder with a crisp snapping sound.
A slender figure in a plain gauze dress, with fluttering sleeves, leaning on a sword, came across the sky like a divine rainbow.
All the monsters that blocked her way were shattered by the sword in front of her, and they didn't even have time to scream before they turned into powder all over the sky.
Soon, a path was cleared in front of her.
Li Mengning's body was as graceful as a dance, her posture was ethereal, and her expression was quiet but a hint of worry could not be concealed.
Countless sword shadows surrounded his body.
Behind her, it seemed as if an ancient sword had been hidden in a cave, and phantoms of divine swords appeared one after another, and then whizzed past, crisscrossing the sky and earth, with terrifying sharpness, able to cut through anything.
She didn't know why such a big change suddenly happened on the Bloody Plateau.
For some unknown reason, countless monsters suddenly went berserk.
All she knew now was... that disobedient guy was in danger at the moment.
Buzz!!! The sky was filled with sword shadows, whistling and slashing away. The sword light was like the sea, covering the sky and the earth, covering hundreds of miles.
Li Mengning's pair of clear eyes quickly swept across the area, and her other slender jade hand was tightly holding a cleanly washed Nine Yin Epimedium.
Suddenly, behind a half-person-high rock not far away, she saw a familiar figure.
He didn't look injured, but his face was much paler than before.
"Jiang Lan..." Her heart finally settled down, and she turned into a stream of light and fell beside Jiang Lan.
"You're here?"
A familiar fragrance wafted into her nose. Jiang Lan glanced at her and asked the question even though he knew the answer.
He could clearly feel that Li Mengning seemed a little angry. There was no emotion on her face covered by the veil. Although she was like this in the past, she would never ignore him like she did today.
At least if you ask her a question yourself, she will just say "hmm" softly.
However, he was the one who fooled her first. He had no previous cultivation. Not to mention going deep into the Bloody Plateau alone, even the sudden violent tide of monsters could easily take his life.
"Don't be angry, I was wrong."
Jiang Lan smiled, then immediately admitted it and apologized, "There won't be a next time."
Li Mengning stared at his face with her clear eyes, and then she uttered two words softly, "Liar."
She was indeed a little angry, but not because Jiang Lan had deceived her.
But he knew full well that he had no cultivation, yet he still forced his way into the depths of the Bloody Plateau and played with his own life.
"I'm sure. You know I'm very afraid of death. I won't joke about my life easily."
Jiang Lan seemed to know what she was thinking, and said softly, "I don't have much, but I have a lot of cards to save my life."
Li Mengning still didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly with her clear eyes.
"Okay, next time I take a risk, I won't send you away again."
Jiang Lan had a slight headache.
After hearing this, Li Mengning hummed softly, and then said softly, "Someone from the sect will be here soon."
Jiang Lan also understood, that's why he was waiting for her here. He just didn't know how many domain-breaking talismans Li Mengning had on her. This would be a good thing for escaping.
However, activating the Domain Breaking Talisman requires a certain level of strength. Originally, he had no cultivation at all, so even if he brought the Domain Breaking Talisman, it would be useless, so he did not have one on him.
It seems I need to ask my family for more when I get back.
"Let's go..."
Jiang Lan said, then naturally and familiarly put his arms around Li Mengning's slender waist and hugged her tightly.
It's not that he intended to take advantage.
However, without the light of the Domain-Breaking Talisman, with his current physical strength, he would not be able to withstand traveling through the void and would be blown apart by the strong wind.
There was such a big commotion on the Bloody Plateau, but no one could possibly suspect him.
Li Mengning gently pursed her red lips, and her crystal clear ears were tinged with a hint of red.
Then, the void before their eyes trembled slightly, blurry ripples spread, and the figures of the two people quickly disappeared.
On the way, Jiang Lan smelled a slight smell of blood, which surprised him a little. It was not the smelly blood of monsters, but a strange fragrance.
"Are you hurt?" he asked.
The monster guarding the Nine Yin Flesh Lotus should not be a match for Li Mengning.
"There are two." Li Mengning replied.
She killed two demon beasts at the demon king level. Although she was slightly injured, her strength was still truly terrifying.
Among her peers, there are probably very few young geniuses who can block her sword at this time.
In the original plot, if she had not been delayed by herself and her heart had not been hurt by her own death, it would have been really difficult for the protagonist Lin Fan to surpass her so quickly.
This guy is not only very talented, but also very hardworking and diligent. When he disappears on weekdays, he is practicing.
"That thousand-year-old Nine Yin Flesh Lotus is a rare treasure for you who are practicing the Tai Shang Xuan You Gong. After you refine it, your strength should be greatly improved." Jiang Lan said.
"You don't want it?" Li Mengning was a little confused.
Jiang Lan smiled and said, "What's the use of it? I'm a useless person who can't practice cultivation. It would be a waste if I used this kind of natural treasure on it."
Li Mengning was stunned for a moment, staring at him with her clear eyes, and then said seriously, "You are not a useless person..."
In her heart, Jiang Lan has never been a useless person, either in the past or now.
"Go back and try taking the Nine Yin Lotus." She whispered again.
Jiang Lan felt that this quasi-saint was quite stubborn.
He sighed helplessly and said, "Originally, this Nine Yin Flesh Lotus was given to you to pick and refine yourself. I'm counting on you to protect me. If you become stronger, who will protect me if I encounter an assassin stronger than Lin Fan?"
"Uncle Ying can't possibly follow me everywhere. I can't shake off your little tail."
Li Mengning was slightly stunned when she heard Jiang Lan calling her "little tail".
It seems like I am really like his tail. Wherever he goes, I follow him. Does he dislike me being like this?
"What I mean is that from now on, I can only count on you to protect me, so you have to become stronger."
Jiang Lan knew that she must have misunderstood, so after thinking about it, he changed his words.
Otherwise, with this guy's brain, I don't know how long it will take to figure it out.
"Um……"
"I...I will protect you."
Li Mengning's mind was still a little dazed, and Jiang Lan's words from now on were still echoing in her ears...
"Um?"
Jiang Lan couldn't help but be surprised when he noticed that Li Mengning in his arms seemed to be suddenly a little strange.
"You...you hugged me too tight..."
Li Mengning whispered, "I...suddenly I feel a little breathless."
By the time the two returned to Yuyi City in Jiangling County, it was already evening of the next day. Dusk was setting in the west, and the sunset glow was as brilliant as maple trees.
