Chen Feng got up from the bed and wore a new pair of robes as he looked at Shi Yu with a pondering gaze
" Alright but I don't understand what you do with the purple illusion flowers" Chen Feng asked curiously
" It's just that the smell of the flower makes me feel calm whenever you are not home" Shi Yu said with a calm look on her face
" Oh, I see in that case you can go but make sure to return quickly" Chen Feng agreed as he thought nothing was weird about this while Shi Yu scoffed inwardly
' Idiot, how does he not realize what I have been doing with the flowers all these years, a foolish person indeed' Shi Yu thought to herself as she left the room
Inside the pleasure hall
A young woman with long light-blue hair was staring at the handsome man with black hair in front of her with her arms crossed over her ample chest
" Lingxi,I promise after I return I will entertain you" Wang Ming said with a pleading look in his eyes
When Wang Ming came to inform Bai Lingxi that he was going to depart from here for a few days to visit the Shackle Hills, she became annoyed as she would miss his body warmth for a few days, even though she immediately ripped his clothes open and enjoyed his body a few moments ago
" Sigh, okay, at least tell me the reason why you are going?" Bai Lingxi asked after releasing a tired sigh from her lips
" You see, Lingxi if I keep having fun here which I obviously enjoy, I would become rusty and what is the point of becoming stronger if I don't engage in combat and utilize my skills, I also need monster cores to sell for spirit stones" Wang Ming explained to Bai Lingxi
" Fine but I will accompany you as you are unfamiliar with the hills" Bai Lingxi said in a tone that would not accept any refusal
" Sure, suit yourself" Wang Ming said in a nonchalant way
"Hmph" Bai Lingxi responded with a snort
" By the way do you have a weapon to hunt down monsters, you are not planning to fight barehanded right?" Bai Lingxi asked as she narrowed her eyes
" Hmph, do you think I am some kind of idiot, of course, I have a weapon" Wang Ming harrumphed as he reached out toward his space pouch
Then a sword appeared in his right hand which had flower patterns carved on the steel blade, Bai Lingxi could feel the power radiating from the sword when Wang Ming grabbed the hilt of the sword
" Such a pretty sword and the power radiating from it seems to be quite high-ranked, dear it must be quite rare, what rank is the sword at?" Bai Lingxi asked Wang Ming
" It's not that rare or high ranked, it is a heaven rank sword of the peak grade" Wang Ming said casually as he thought it was not special when he compared this to ancient rank weapons that he could buy from the system while Bai Lingxi was rooted on spot and spoke in a shaky voice
" W-w-what rank and grade did you say it was at?" Bai Lingxi asked while stuttering
" Hmm, it is a Heaven-ranked sword of the peak grade" Wang Ming replied not understanding why she was acting like this
When Bai Lingxi saw the confusion on his face she took a deep breath to calm her nerves
" Why are you acting like this is not a big deal, do you even know how precious the sword you are holding is and where the hell did you get this from?" Bai Lingxi asked
Wang Ming had a sudden realization that he forgot that even though he can get even better-ranked weapons later which is normal for him but for the people around him, a heaven rank weapon is a treasure in their eyes which he was casually holding
" Oh, I had a lucky encounter while traveling and by chance, I got my hands on this sword" Wang Ming said this as he did not know how he should explain the system, he also did not want to put Bai Lingxi in any kind of unknown danger that might be associated with the system due to its unknown origin
Bai Lingxi frowned as she could sense that Wang Ming was hiding something but did not push him any further for an answer
' Hah, forget it, everyone has their own secrets which they might not be comfortable sharing ' Bai Lingxi thought inwardly
" Hah, fine forget if you don't want to say it, I understand everyone has some secrets they don't want to share, let's go now" Bai Lingxi sighed as she gestured Wang Ming to follow her which he did with a smile
"The Shackle hills encompass a very wide area. From east to west, they span close to a thousand miles, while from south to north, they cover close to four hundred miles. It is the largest mountain range in the northern region of the Black Bamboo Empire. There are many beasts of various realms inhabiting the mountain range, and there is also a large variety of different Spiritual Medicine plants growing there which are used in alchemy. Sometimes, some precious metals that could be used to forge high-grade weapons can also be found there. As a result, there are many who enter here for training trips, as well as many whose target was the numerous treasures in this place. However, the death toll amongst those who enter the mountains has increased by a huge number, so few people can be found here in recent times, so we have to be careful when we visit the Shackle hill" while they were walking toward the Shackle Hills Bai Lingxi started to describe what she knew about the Shackle hills
" Why did the death increase so much?" Wang Ming asked with curiosity
" Well, some speculate that a powerful beast appeared killing them while some say that there is a group of bandits that target who enter the hills but no one can be sure for certain" Bai Lingxi said
A day later Wang Ming and Bai Lingxi appeared at the entrance of the Shackle Hills
