Chapter 18 - Lu Feng?

"Yunqi What is the origin of Mystic Pond? Is it left by someone or has it naturally appeared?" Ye Chen inquired after thinking for a while.

Hearing him, Zhen Yunqi was stunned.

If it was anyone else, they would be dreaming about the benefits of cultivating there rather than asking such questions.

Nevertheless, she didn't hesitate to reply.

"No one knows about the origin of mystic pond. However, there is a rumor saying it was left by the royal king of the Golden River kingdom. But no one believes this since the royal family can't control the mystic pond," she said and continued.

"This is all I know, and the mystic pond is quite beneficial for you both, so don't cultivate further fifth stages of Qi gathering," she reminded with a serious look.

In response, both Ye Chen and Li Mei nodded.

After this, they said a few more words and returned to cultivate.

"Hahahahaa~"

"I Supreme King has been reborn!" Hu Tian laughed loudly in his room while his eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Mu Xue, you bitch dare to kill me! Just wait, I will make you beg for mercy in my bed; if not, I won't be Lu Feng!" He stated coldly with a killing intent while exploring the memories of Hu Tian, who died.

"Just how could a coward like him exist? He died by weeping for three continuous days! This is even worse than getting killed by a pig!"

"Oh, wait, this guy relied on his family's power to bully people, but suddenly someone who was more arrogant than him appeared, crushing him directly and treating him like a dog. No wonder he died; he deserves it after relying on the power that was not his." He shook his head with disapproval before forming a smirk on his face.

"No matter how arrogant or good talent you have Ye Chen, you shouldn't have humiliated him like this. Now with me taking over this body, there was no way I would swallow this humiliation."

"Let's see what will happen if I steal your girl in front of you; also, the sect master is very good beauty; I should be able to get her in my grasp," he said with confidence before sitting down and cultivating.

No one was aware of Hu Tian being dead, and just like this, a few days passed silently.

"Senior brother, is it okay to ride this? Won't we fall?" Li Mei inquired with fear as she saw an enormous eagle, which was the size of a small house.

This eagle was a pet tamed by the sect and was used for transport or travel.

Because the distance between courtyard and sect was long, Zhen Yunqi had prepared this eagle for them so they could roam outside without her help.

However, Li Mei feared this kind of transportation.

"Xiao Mei, why panic so much? It's just a little flight to the sect; moreover, let me hold you all the way so you won't be falling," Ye Chen suggested with a smile, and before Li Mei could respond, he pulled her into his arms, making her face flush red.

However, she didn't care about this and looked at him with a pitiful expression.

"Senior brother, do we really have to go down the mountain?" she inquired unwillingly.

Watching her like this, Ye Chen chuckled and tightened his arms around her.

"Yes, we really had to go down," he said with a serious nod while gazing into her beautiful, anxious eyes, and before she could say something again, he jumped on the eagle's back along with her.

"S-senior brother!" Li Mei panicked when she saw this, and without hesitation, she buried her face in his chest.

If Zhen Yunqi was here, she wouldn't fear flying this much because Zen Yunqi can fly and catch them. However, this was not the case with the eagle; moreover, they both didn't know how to fly.

Which meant if they fell, there was no going back. Just thinking this made her more anxious, and she shut her eyes tightly while clinging to him like super glue.

However, Ye Chen didn't care about her anxiousness at all and commanded the eagle to fly up.

Of course, it didn't mean he was gambling on his or her life.

Zhen Yunqi had told him that flying beats like this can prevent people on their backs from falling.

Moreover, the eagle was flying only a little higher than the tree and was slow in speed. With their cultivation of fourth-stage Qi gathering, this was nothing; if they fell at worst, they would get minor injuries, and that was it.

Because of this, he didn't worry and let the junior sister in his arm hug him tightly.

'What a great decision of not telling her this,' he praised himself as he didn't bring Li Mei when he inquired Zhen Yunqi about the flying beast.

If not, she wouldn't be clinging to him and won't be this anxious.

"Xiao Mei, open your eyes; look, everything is fine," he said softly, caressing her hair.

However, Li Mei refused to budge and shook her head.

"No, I won't; it's scary," she stated and further tightened her grip on him.

Watching her like his, Ye Chen shook his head with a helpless look.

"Just open your eyes a little bit if you don't like it then you can close it again" he suggested while holding her waist tightly.

Hearing him Li Mei hesitated but she decided to give it a try as she felt his arms holding her waist tightly.

However, she wasn't embarrassed because she had no time to think of anything expect falling.

So, she slowly opened her eyes seeing a blurry picture where the trees and mountain moved rapidly.

'We are flying!' she thought her heart was racing like a deer, but when she felt his arms around her, she felt relieved and opened her eyes completely.

What came into view was a massive green mountain rage that spanned for unknown miles as they headed towards the sect, which was ten miles away from them.

Although she has seen this once, it was not too clear since Zhen Yunqi flew higher and at fat speed.

So, watching the scenery, she couldn't help but become a little stunned.

"It's beautiful," she muttered as certain emotions flashed through her eyes.
