The Mysterious Woman

"Pan Liang, why don't we just let Little Liang drive? Won't that save us some trouble?"

Pan Liang frowned. "Look at how small it is. How much stamina does it have? Are you trying to tire it out by making it drive all the time?"

"That's true. Little Liang is too small. How great it would be if it could become bigger."

Actually, Pan Liang had the ability to transform Little Liang. However, he was too lazy to do it.

If Shirley knew that Little Liang could transform, she would definitely make it work in the future. He must not let Shirley live so comfortably.

Shirley carried Little Liang to her lap and pulled the reins with both hands.

"Little Liang, if you see me dozing off, you can take the reins and help me drive, okay?"

With a low voice, Pan Liang answered on behalf of Little Liang, "No."

Nothing much happened the next day. On the third day, they arrived at the secret realm.

Currently, Shirley was a little excited. It was already late at night, but she could not sleep.

"Pan Liang, if we find valuable treasures in the secret realm, do you think someone will come and snatch them from us?"

Pan Liang sneered and said, "It'll be good enough if you can survive there, yet you're thinking about searching for treasures. You'd better not shout for help there."

Shirley turned over and ignored Pan Liang, who was driving alone.

He was waiting for her to fall asleep before making Little Liang drive. He was upset that he could not gain any Experience Points while driving.

He bumped into a woman in the middle of the night.

The woman was barbecuing meat by the roadside. After seeing Pan Liang's carriage, the woman stared at the carriage and laughed.

The laughter frightened Pan Liang a little. He did not know how to deal with this situation.

He had no choice but to drive away. As the woman's cultivation could not be seen through at all, he thought it was better not to provoke her.

When Pan Liang spotted the beauty from afar at first, he intended to take a few more glances. However, after hearing the laughter, he did not dare to continue looking at her.

Even Shirley was woken up by the laughter. She opened her eyes, which were slightly teary.

"That laughter just now sounded so familiar. I think I've heard it before. I don't know why but hearing the laughter makes me want to cry."

Upon hearing Shirley's words, Pan Liang turned his head in surprise. She did not wake up even when he shouted at her earlier. Little did he expect her to wake up after hearing the laughter.

If only he had exchanged a phone to record her laughter.

"Go back to sleep. We'll arrive at noon tomorrow. We'll still need you to show off your skills."

Shirley nodded. "Tomorrow, you can't slack as much as before. You have to get up and help me."

Pan Liang smiled. "We'll talk about it tomorrow, but I'll promise you now. What if I fall asleep tomorrow and can't get up? Just go to sleep first."

Shirley pouted and ignored him.

The next morning, Shirley woke up on time. She was surprised to find that Pan Liang was driving by himself instead of asking Little Liang to help him drive.

"Ah, I didn't expect you to drive all night. I thought you'd make Little Liang drive and that you'd sleep next to me."

While uttering the sentence, Shirley slightly blushed. For some reason, she looked forward to Pan Liang sleeping next to her.

In fact, she knew deep down that she was not in a romantic relationship with Pan Liang. She wanted him to sleep next to her just so she could feel safe.

Pan Liang sneered internally and said, "If I let Little Liang drive, how can I slack today?"

Of course, he could not let Shirley know about it. Then, he said to her, "We've almost arrived at the secret realm. It worries me to let Little Liang drive. After all, it's not as smart as a human."

In fact, it was the little poodle that drove the whole night. Pan Liang just got up and took over the job when it was almost dawn.

After Shirley got up, she looked at the surrounding scenery and compared it with the map. "Since we're almost there, we don't have to rush. Why don't we stop and have some food?"

"Okay, let's stop and have some food. I'm hungry after driving all night."

While Shirley was cooking, the woman she met last night was here.

"Oh, the couple is cooking. I'm so jealous."

Shirley looked at the woman in front of her curiously. She did not know that the laughter from last night came from this woman. However, Pan Liang recognized her.

The woman was observing Little Liang, but the two of them were unable to see through each other's levels.

Shirley waved at the woman. "Do you want to sit down and eat together?"

The woman gave a laugh and left.

After hearing the laughter, Shirley recognized the woman because her laughter was special.

The laughter was very presumptuous and arrogant. From the moment Shirley heard the laughter, she would never forget it for the rest of her life.

Pan Liang looked in the direction the woman had left. "The woman left in the direction of the secret realm. If you meet her in the secret realm, try to avoid her."

He reminded Shirley, but Shirley seemed dumbfounded. "Why?"

"This woman is very powerful. If you meet her, you might not be able to defeat her."

Shirley smiled and said, "I feel that this woman doesn't have any magic power, so she shouldn't be very powerful. I can definitely defeat her. Don't worry, I'll protect you at that time."

Pan Liang ignored her arrogant remarks. After looking at the food in the pot, he told Shirley to heat it up.

Soon, they were done with dinner. Shirley was still thinking about that mysterious woman.

After the meal, Shirley drove the carriage while Pan Liang slept in the carriage.

Before he fell asleep, he thought that he would not get up from his sleep even if Shirley shouted at him.

Anyhow, he did not plan to make a move in the secret realm.

When they arrived at the entrance of the secret realm, Shirley saw that there were already so many people blocking the entrance. She was glum.

She thought that not many people would carry out the mission, so she did not expect so many people to show up here.

She did not know how big the secret realm was, nor did she know if it could accommodate so many people.

Not long after, she spotted a familiar face among those people. The person was Roy, who had one of his arms chopped off by Pan Liang.

Roy was talking to someone beside him sneakily. Shirley was a little puzzled when she saw Roy.

"Why is this person missing an arm? He could've offended someone or his identity as a cult has been discovered."

Actually, Roy had spotted Shirley's carriage. He was telling the person beside him that Shirley had a magic staff worth 100,000 gold coins and there was an even more valuable sword on the carriage.

He was still hoping to get the sword in Shirley's hand. The person he found was even more powerful than the one from the cult.
