Conquering Xun'er, who has been eating the food of a small place like Wutan City since she was a child, shouldn't be a problem.
Hopefully, Miss Xun'er won't cause trouble for me because I haven't been able to "protect" her properly.
However, a few days later, Zhang Yuan and Ling Ying could no longer laugh.
For the past few days, they have been exploring the area marked out by Senma Rong and others in the Illusionary Mist Mountains, searching for the mysterious object that caused the illusionary mist to appear.
Qing Yanjing was in charge of the three people's meals. She made desserts for every meal, incorporating various attempts and innovations, and then let the other two taste them.
Qing Yanjing's desserts are also delicious, but eating desserts until you're full is not very friendly to two meat lovers.
"Elder Ling has dealt with a fifth-tier magical beast. How about we have some barbecue tonight?" Zhang Yuan looked at Qing Yanjing expectantly, while Ling Ying stared intently at him.
"Brother Yuan." Qing Yanjing smiled, her beautiful face blooming with a hint of coquetry, "You also want Xun'er and me to get along well, right? We can save the monster meat for later, and you can try my new creation."
Zhang Yuan's lips twitched slightly, and he forced a smile as he said, "Alright."
You have to bear the consequences of your own actions.
Running a harem is no easy task.
"And Elder Ling as well." Qing Yanjing looked at Ling Ying and smiled, "More people mean more references."
Ling Ying: "."
What a sin~
That evening, the two ate many desserts.
"We can't eat anymore, we really can't eat anymore." Zhang Yuan and Ling Ying looked at Qing Yanjing with pleading expressions.
"Alright." Qing Yanjing sighed.
Zhang Yuan and Ling Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment they heard Yan Jing say, "Then we can only continue tomorrow."
The two of them subconsciously swallowed.
Ling Ying gave Zhang Yuan a look: "Young Master, people will die."
Zhang Yuan blinked: "I understand. We must find the item and return to Wutan City as soon as possible."
Their desire to explore grew stronger.
That night, after Qingyanjing went to sleep, the two decided to "work overtime".
Today happened to be the day to send a message to Xun'er, and Ling Ying didn't forget to complain at the end.
[Miss, this old servant and Young Master Zhang Yuan are having such a hard time. Miss Qing Yanjing is torturing us to the point of wishing we were dead.]
Upon seeing this, Xun'er's eyes flashed with a golden flame, and a surge of anger rose in her heart.
Qing Yanjing actually dared to torment Brother Yuan!
However, the next moment, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes, and then a smile bloomed on her delicate face.
[To make desserts that the young lady would love, she's been making sweets only for this old servant and young master Zhang Yuan for the past four days. This old servant is so old, he can barely keep his teeth.]
"So this is the torment." Xun'er chuckled softly, "Brother Yuan doesn't really like sweets, and Sister Qing Yanjing is really something, she should have just let Elder Ling enjoy them all by himself."
This girl has a conscience, but not much.
It's only enough for Zhang Yuan alone.
Chapter 63 The Mysterious Mirage Fish and Flood Dragon Pearl! Preparing for a Breakthrough
"This Sister Qing Yanjing is quite interesting."
"Xun'er wouldn't eat people, but..."
A glint of black light appeared in Xun'er's once again dark eyes.
"Brother Yuan, Xun'er might bite you, so don't try to hide then."
A-choo.
In the Misty Mountains, Zhang Yuan felt an itch in his nose and sneezed.
With his current physical condition, it's impossible for him to catch a cold.
"I wonder if it's Xun'er or Little Fairy Doctor thinking of me." Zhang Yuan rubbed his nose.
Just then, Ling Ying's voice suddenly rang in his ear: "Young Master, something's not right."
"Oh?" Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he asked, regaining his composure, "Elder Ling, what did you discover?"
“This old servant cannot see anything specific,” Ling Ying replied.
"I see." Zhang Yuan suddenly understood.
He has already given the Five Elements Spirit Turtle Pearl to Ling Ying. Although the latter cultivates dark attribute battle qi, as a peak Dou Huang, he can also mobilize a small amount of five elemental attribute energy in nature for his own use.
After infusing the Five Elements Qi into the Five Elements Spirit Turtle Pearl, Ling Ying was able to investigate the situation within a ten-mile radius of the Illusionary Mist Mountains. Not even an ant moving underground could escape his notice.
The fact that a place he couldn't detect appeared at this point precisely indicates that there's a problem.
The Nine Thieves of Illusionary Mist probably used this method before, otherwise they wouldn't have marked out several key areas.
However, their capabilities were limited, and there were more than just one or two places they couldn't find, so they couldn't locate the true location.
"go!"
Zhang Yuan had Ling Ying lead the way, and the two flew directly to an area.
"It's invisible to the naked eye, and the soul power is completely suppressed. It seems we'll have to resort to some extraordinary measures."
Zhang Yuan flew high into the sky, mobilizing his own fighting spirit to rise, gathering it at his fingertips, and adding the Three Dragon Thunderfire.
The Purple Thunder Cloud Eagle was very sensible; it immediately flew into the sky and used its innate abilities.
"Boom!"
In the sky, a dark cloud gradually gathered, with blue and purple arcs of electricity flashing within it.
The Purple Thunder Cloud Eagle roamed within the dark clouds, causing the accumulated thunderous power within them to increase.
The dark clouds became extremely oppressive, and the energy contained within them made many magical beasts in the Illusionary Mist Mountains feel uneasy, causing them to flee in panic.
About fifteen minutes later, Zhang Yuan pointed a finger ahead.
A silver arc of flame shot out, instantly piercing through the hundred-foot-high mist.
As if sensing something, the dark clouds in the sky unleashed a thunderous roar, with several bolts of lightning, each several meters thick, merging with the hundred-meter-long arc of electricity before exploding.
"boom!"
A massive shockwave, carrying purple lightning and silver flames, spread outwards, instantly filling an area of considerable radius.
"Whoo~"
Zhang Yuan withdrew his trembling fingers and watched this scene, panting heavily.
Even with his current peak Great Battle Master strength, it wouldn't be easy for him to take even one step; his internal battle energy was almost completely depleted.
Fortunately, the impact was significant enough that the terrifying energy contained in the Three Dragons Thunderfire should be enough to make the nearby illusory mist disappear for a period of time.
"Old Ling, let's go."
After the impact of the explosion completely dissipated, a clear lake with a small island in the center appeared before Zhang Yuan.
The lake was surrounded by forests, and at this moment, many trees were burning with Three Dragons Thunderfire, burning away the ever-shrinking illusionary mist, but the flames of the rootless duckweed were also fading.
At this rate, the illusory mist will re-fill this area in less than half an hour.
But this amount of time was more than enough for Zhang Yuan and Ling Ying to explore the small islands in the center of the lake that had been flattened by thunder and flames.
The two flew directly to the center of the island and found a small pool, several tens of feet in size, where the water seemed to be boiling and churning, turning into illusory mist at a visible speed and spreading outwards.
Without any special investigation, it's clear that there's something fishy going on in this pool.
"Elder Ling, please make a move."
Zhang Yuan did not act rashly.
He has always been a cautious person and would never act rashly unless absolutely necessary.
Ling Ying appeared beside Zhang Yuan, raised her hand and slapped the pool in front of her, her cultivation technique rapidly circulating.
A large amount of dark attribute energy combined with a trace of spatial power, transforming into a giant hand in mid-air and falling into the pool, causing the illusory mist to dissipate and the pool water to churn.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yuan's eyes narrowed.
After the pool separated, he saw a pitch-black head.
"Rise!" Ling Ying's fighting spirit surged wildly.
He not only mobilized external energy of the same attribute, but also consumed his own fighting spirit.
The giant black energy hand, with its five fingers bent, grasped something and rose rapidly.
"This is a dragon!?"
Zhang Yuan's pupils contracted slightly.
What appeared before them was a creature about ten feet long, without a tail, as if it had been cut in half, with glistening black skin, resembling both a lizard and a crocodile, with two legs at the front.
"This is not a dragon, but a mirage dragon," Ling Ying, with his extensive knowledge, replied.
boom.
The body of the mirage dragon landed on the ground beside it.
A miraculous thing happened: the illusionary mist stopped generating.
"The Mirage Fish is a fish-like magical beast with the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon, possessing a slight possibility of transforming into a dragon." Ling Ying explained proactively, "At the first level, the Mirage Fish is a fish; at the second level, it grows four legs; at the third level, it grows a tail; at the fourth level, it grows horns; at the fifth level, it grows wings on its back; at the sixth level, it transforms into a dragon; and when it reaches its peak, it can undergo tribulation to transform into a dragon, becoming the seventh-level magical beast, the Void Mirage Dragon."
"This is the remains of a mirage dragon. Judging from the situation, it must have failed its tribulation and perished in this lake."
"The reason why the illusionary mist is abnormal is probably related to something inside it."
Ling Ying arrived in front of the Mirage Dragon's head, reached out and pried open its mouth, revealing a bead emitting blue light.
"This is the Mirage Dragon Pearl. It was not destroyed in the lightning tribulation and already possesses a trace of the power of a seventh-order Void Mirage Dragon Pearl."
A seventh-tier magical beast is equivalent to a human Dou Zong expert. The rarity of this near-seventh-tier Mirage Dragon Pearl goes without saying. Even a Dou Zong expert would be tempted by it, and Ling Ying was no exception.
However, he was born into an ancient clan and was Xun'er's servant, his loyalty ingrained in his very bones.
