Pearl Cave.
Seeing Shu Xiaoxiao's joyous smile, Jiang Yuan also smiled.
He gently touched her hair.
"Not bad!"
"Young Master, how long until you break through?"
"Right now," answered Jiang Yuan indifferently.
He could sense that he was still a short distance away from the breakthrough.
It didn't matter though.
After refining the feast he had just consumed, he would naturally be close enough.
If that wasn't enough, he could simply eat a couple more Spirit Fruits.
"Alright then!" Shu Xiaoxiao teased with a smile, "I'll act as your protector!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Yuan nodded in response.
While her protection was largely symbolic, he didn't reject her proposal.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at a giant boulder situated on a mountain peak.
Sitting on that spot, he could see a lake not far away, its surface as smooth as a mirror.
He could also see the great mountains and rivers beneath him.
The winding mountains were an enticing sight.
