After dealing with the Ironblood Yuan Lion, Elder Ming finally stepped over to the woman's side, gave Xu Sheng a casual glance, and said, "The Ironblood Yuan Lion has been slaughtered by me! Miss, it's time for us to go back."
Hearing this, Elder Mu, who had been crouching, also stood up and said indifferently, "Indeed, it's time to return! Miss."
The woman's beautiful eyes surveyed Xu Sheng and she spoke with some hesitation, "Elder Mu, Elder Ming, but he has not yet recovered. If we leave him here like this, I'm afraid he won't survive the night..."
On seeing this, Xu Sheng clutched his chest, struggling to stand up...
His complexion slightly pale, he said, "I'm fine..."
The woman softly scolded him, "Don't be stubborn! You're having trouble even walking now. There are many monster beasts in this forest, you won't be able to make it out alive!"
Elder Mu then coldly said, "Whether he lives or dies, what does it have to do with us? He should be content that we saved his life!"
Thinking a mere Hollow Void Stage fellow could get close to their Miss?
Elder Ming's face showed dissatisfaction as he said, "He himself has said he is alright, so there's no need for us to meddle further. Miss, let's leave!"
Upon hearing this, the woman glanced at them both and immediately frowned, displeased, "It was us who attracted the Ironblood Yuan Lion here and caused him to be injured. How could we possibly abandon him!"
Hearing these firm words, both Elder Mu and Elder Ming sighed...
Clearly, they knew there was no way to persuade their own Miss...
Xu Sheng was genuinely surprised to find that this strange woman would treat him to such an extent...
The woman once again fixed her enchanting beautiful eyes on Xu Sheng's pupils and asked softly, "Your injuries are severe. Why don't you come back with us?"
After pondering for a moment, Xu Sheng said quietly, "Is that alright? If it causes trouble for you..."
He had only just arrived in this Cultivation World, unfamiliar with the lay of the land, and crucially, his cultivation level was very weak, he couldn't even overpower a single monster beast!
Finding a temporary refuge would indeed relieve a pressing need...
The woman quickly shook her head, "It's no trouble at all. It's just one more person, consider it our apology to you!"
Xu Sheng took a deep breath and nodded, "Well then... alright, I might be imposing on you later!"
Seeing Xu Sheng agree, a hint of joy subtly appeared in the woman's beautiful eyes...
...
The woman's curious gaze scanned Xu Sheng as she asked, "My name is Bai Gongyu, what about you?"
This man, he had a mysterious allure that made her want to explore...
She had seen plenty of handsome men, but none had piqued her interest like Xu Sheng!
Xu Sheng paused, then answered with a light laugh, "Me? My name is Xu Sheng."
Bai Gongyu, thoughtfully pursing her tender, thin lips, with a bit of playfulness on her fair cheeks, said, "Then I'll just call you Xu Sheng directly. Xu Sheng, how did you come to be all alone out there?"
No, rather, how is it that someone of the Hollow Void Stage managed to venture so deep into the forest? It's already incredible!
"I? I'm not sure, when I woke up, I had already appeared..."
Elder Mu's eyes narrowed, and he coldly said, "Woke up and found yourself here? Boy, I bet you're from the Lower Realm, aren't you?"
"I warn you, if you dare to harbor any improper thoughts towards our Miss, I will tear you to pieces! Do you understand?"
Xu Sheng smiled without changing his expression, "The two elders are joking. How could I entertain improper thoughts towards Yu?"
Hearing Xu Sheng call her "Yu" so intimately...
Bai Gongyu's cheeks flushed in an instant, and she exclaimed, "Eh???"
They had only just met, and yet he was already addressing her so intimately...
Elder Mu said coldly, "Damn it! Boy, who gave you the permission to be so familiar?"
```
Elder Ming burst forth with terrifying spirit force fluctuations, grumbling unhappily, "Kid, if I hear you again..."
Then, his tone shifted, "Miss, why is your face so red? Did this guy's words just now anger you? Let me tear him apart!"
Bai Gongyu bit her thin lips and muttered, "Don't... Elder Ming, I... I am not angry, it's quite... quite nice to be called that!"
Although it was somewhat overly intimate, she didn't dislike Xu Sheng calling her that...
Perhaps, appearances really did have a bonus in her heart...
Elder Ming "hmmph"-ed coldly and glared fiercely at Xu Sheng before turning his head away again...
Xu Sheng was not annoyed and continued gently to Bai Gongyu, "Yu, can you tell me where we are going now?"
Bai Gongyu nodded slightly and explained, "Yes, we are now heading to Tianfeng City, we will arrive soon..."
Xu Sheng nodded, memorized the name Tianfeng City, and asked again, "So they call you Miss because...?"
Bai Gongyu's beautiful eyes glanced at the two elders ahead, covered her mouth with a light laugh, and said, "Our Bai Gong Family is one of the three largest clans in Tianfeng City, Elder Mu and Elder Ming are elders in our clan, and I am the Clan Leader's daughter..."
"This trip was originally to capture that Ironblood Yuan Lion to be my mount!"
Recalling the earlier scene, Xu Sheng asked with curiosity, "So before..."
Bai Gongyu's beautiful eyes playfully blinked at Xu Sheng, "I just wasn't interested at the time, and besides, that Ironblood Yuan Lion didn't look tame at all!"
Xu Sheng spoke with a hint of beguiling mischief, "Yu, about mounts, I actually have two..."
Hearing Xu Sheng say this, a spark of eagerness flickered in Bai Gongyu's beautiful eyes, "Really?? Can you let them out for me to see?"
Elder Mu and Elder Ming ahead also cast curious glances towards Xu Sheng...
How could a guy at the Hollow Void Stage possibly have a mount!
Could it be a creature from the Lower Realm??
All of a sudden, they became inexplicably vigilant...
With a thought, Xu Sheng called out, "Flame Serpent! Silver Moon Wolf King!"
At the fall of his words, a burst of spiritual power erupted from him...
In front of everyone, a blinding white light was released...
Elder Ming said gravely, "So bright! Be careful!!"
Elder Mu also barked sharply, "Protect the Miss!!"
Shangguan Lin's eyes were fixed on the white light ahead, filled with anticipation...
A few seconds later, the white light vanished abruptly, revealing the scene within...
On the ground, there now lay two "Silver Moon Wolf Kings" and "Flame Serpents", each no larger than one meter...
They were just adorable little ones, key being that they were also staring fiercely at Bai Gongyu and the others...
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward...
Xu Sheng pursed his thin lips, unsure of what to say "..."
Elder Ming and Elder Mu's mouths twitched...
What exactly had they been afraid of just now?
Only Bai Gongyu couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, Xu Sheng, you really are a joker, are these a snake baby and a wolf pup?"
She had truly never met a man as interesting as him before...
