...

As Ye Feng immersed himself in his cultivation, Cai Die watched him with tender eyes, full of clarity and a hint of attachment.

With her delicate features and pointed ears, she exuded a captivating charm.

Her hands fidgeted nervously.

In the past, she had endured this endless darkness alone, but now, having someone by her side filled her heart with warmth.

"If only he could always be by my side."

The night desert was unnerving, with only the howling wind that added to the sense of dread.

Cai Die's delicate body trembled, and after stealing a glance at Ye Feng, who was not far away, her face blushed as a thought crossed her mind.

After a while, she mustered the courage and slowly moved closer to Ye Feng...

Perhaps due to her nervousness, she took her time to inch closer...

This slight movement caused Ye Feng's closed eyes to flutter open. If she got any closer, he wouldn't be able to focus on his cultivation!

Seeing Ye Feng's gaze upon her, Cai Die immediately felt as if she had done something wrong and been caught.

With a slight lift of her white, fragrant shoulders, her peach-like face turned red as she playfully stuck out her tongue, swiftly lowering her head.

It was as if she was making a silly face, yet even in that silly expression, her delicate cheeks held an enchanting allure.

Caught in his gaze, Ye Feng couldn't help but be momentarily captivated.

It was absolutely impossible for a boy and a lonely girl to live together in a clamshell this pitch-black, vast desert.

However...

Ye Feng, who was once human, suddenly found himself feeling a bit perplexed...

How should I proceed?

How to operate?

Of course, no matter what, Ye Feng would never take advantage of someone. That was certain!

It was definitely because of this.

Realizing that Ye Feng hadn't responded, Cai Die bit her lip lightly, randomly picked up a small stone, and knocked over a sand ant in front of Ye Feng.

Ye Feng reached out to turn it over and looked at Cai Die, speaking softly,

"We have to continue our journey tomorrow. Since we don't have a carriage this time, you should rest and sleep first. I'll keep watch!"

"Okay!"

Cai Die nodded in response.

Just as Ye Feng closed his eyes, intending to fully immerse himself in his cultivation, a subtle fragrance wafted over swiftly.

His recently closed eyes shot open, only to find Cai Die's head resting on his "leg"!

Observing her blushing cheeks, Ye Feng helplessly smiled and closed his eyes once again.

[Ding! The owner was treated as a pillow by the colorful butterfly and received a sign-in reward: all the classics of the first-grade elixir!]

A night of tranquility passed...

———

Early the next morning.

Ye Feng finally grasped the meaning of "beauty." It was the first time since his arrival in the Dou Qi Continent that he hadn't had a proper rest.

As the two stepped out of the giant clam, the weather outside remained harsh, with a raging sandstorm.

However, in their quest for water sources, they had to leave this place and face the onslaught of the fierce winds.

In Cai Die's dazed eyes, Ye Feng grasped her wrist firmly and briskly led the way.

The desert winds were brutal, and to protect Cai Die from harm, Ye Feng had no choice but to maintain close physical contact.

Cai Die naturally did not refuse Ye Feng's consideration, allowing herself to be guided by his firm grasp.

However, due to Ye Feng's heightened concern for the harsh weather, his grip became somewhat forceful...

After walking for a while, Cai Die furrowed her brows slightly and couldn't help but softly say,

"Um, Master Ye Feng, you're hurting me!"

"Well..."

Hearing this, Ye Feng was slightly stunned.

His eyes fixed on the bright wrist that he held in his right hand.

With a gentle touch, he released her wrist and, in a tender manner extended his left hand to intertwine his fingers with Cai Die's hand.

"Let's go!"

[Ding! The owner held Cai Die's hand while on the journey and received a sign-in reward: a third-grade SkyWalk Pill!]

In this manner, Ye Feng continued to hold Cai Die's hand as they pressed on for more than half a day.

Strangely enough, even though the weather had improved significantly with no fierce winds, their hands remained firmly intertwined.

Neither of them sought to break this unique connection, until the wreckage of a massive sand ship appeared within their sights!

The wreckage of the sand ship stood as a landmark in the vast desert. Human caravans, trainees, and even the snake people would rest here during their journeys.

However, it was precisely because of this that conflicts between humans and snake people often erupted at this location.

At that moment, among the massive wreckage, a group of individuals rested and quenched their thirst with water bottles.

The scorching sun outside was unbearable, even for them, forcing them to seek temporary shelter.

In their group, several large vehicles were present, and replenishing their water supply was crucial to ensure they maintained their strength and avoided any mishaps.

However, a sudden disaster struck!

In an instant, a frigid cold air descended silently, and all of their gazes locked onto a single figure.

There, a middle-aged man in azure blue luxurious robes pointed his icy spear towards them, emitting a cold light!

Everyone's senses sharpened instantly. Particularly a man dressed in plain travel clothes, he trembled with fear.

Before he could react, the icy spear pierced through his body!

"Ah~"

Accompanied by a scream, the man in blue swiftly swung his spear, causing ice thorns to erupt from the ground beneath their feet.

In an instant, except for three Dou Kings who transformed into winged forms and took flight, everyone else was pierced through by the sharp ice spikes.

Blood trickled down from the icy bodies, turning the crystal-clear ice into a horrifying sight!

"Ice Emperor Hai Bodong!!!"

The three Dou kings leapt into the air, fear evident in their eyes as they stared at the man in blue.

"I am busy, and I am determined to obtain the Snake Maiden. Experience the lamentation of fate!"

A flash of sharpness flashed across Hai Bodong's eyes, which immediately turned into a blue light and shadow:

"Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar!!!"
