The Cangling Zhang family dominates the continent!

"Is this your home?"

Zhang Chenting widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and he couldn't help but ask out loud.

Shangguan Jing, who was standing aside, also had a look of astonishment on her face, with her mouth slightly open, obviously shocked by what she saw.

Both of their eyes were focused on the girl in the yellow dress.

The girl was petite and weak, with a beautiful face, but at this moment her eyes seemed a little timid, as if she didn't dare to look at the two men.

The girl raised her hand slightly, tremblingly pointing to the clusters of brightly colored flowers and plants outside the cave, and said softly:

"I have lived here for a long time. I planted and cared for the flowers and plants outside the cave myself."

Hearing this, Zhang Chenting and Shangguan Jing were stunned at first, and then they looked at each other as if they suddenly understood something.

Zhang Chenting nodded thoughtfully and said, "No wonder this place is so clean and tidy. It turns out this is your home! But there's one thing that puzzles me. We've been staying in this cave for the past few days. Why didn't you show up and drive us away?"

The girl in the yellow skirt bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before carefully answering, "I...I saw that beautiful sister was injured. She must need some time to recuperate, so I didn't want to disturb you."

Hearing the name "beautiful human", Zhang Chenting's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but think to himself:

The girl in the yellow dress actually called Shangguan Jing a "beautiful human." Could it be that she herself wasn't human? But why couldn't I sense any demonic or strange aura from her?

Could it be that her strength is too strong, so that my cultivation is not enough to detect her true identity?

Thinking of this, Zhang Chenting couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, who knew if she was acting like this on purpose to break down the two people's vigilance.

Shangguan Jing looked at the girl in the yellow dress with suspicion, her tone full of surprise and confusion:

"Are you really not human?"

Her eyes were fixed on the other person, as if she wanted to find a clue from his expression and movements to confirm her guess.

The girl in the yellow skirt tilted her head slightly, revealing a lovely face. She blinked her big, lively eyes and replied, "I'm not a human. I was actually transformed from a flower.

Although my true form is a flower, I have a lot of knowledge about humans in my mind, so I can tell that you are human."

Zhang Chenting, who was standing aside, seemed to be lost in thought. He slowly took a few steps forward, then bowed respectfully to the girl in the yellow skirt and said sincerely:

"I'm truly sorry, young lady. We mistakenly thought this place was ownerless, and since my friend was seriously injured and needed a place to recuperate, we rashly claimed it as our own.

If we have offended you, please forgive us for our reckless behavior."

His attitude is extremely humble and polite, which makes people feel good about him.

The girl in the yellow skirt waved her hand gently and said softly:

"Oh, it's okay! I was the one who let you in.

I have a special ability that allows me to detect the innermost thoughts of other creatures.

When you approached this place, I already felt your pure and kind hearts. That's why I decided to let you in.

So, you don't need to apologize to me at all. By the way, I have a nice name, Hua Xian'er, which I chose myself. From now on, you can just call me by my name.

As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Xian'er's face bloomed with a smile as bright and lovely as a spring flower, making people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze.

At this time, Zhang Chenting couldn't help but ask:

"Okay, Miss Huaxian'er, why have you been unwilling to show up before?

Moreover, you specifically told me not to go to the East. What was your reason for that?"

His eyes revealed deep confusion and a strong desire for knowledge, and he was looking forward to getting a satisfactory answer from Hua Xian'er.

Hua Xian'er lowered her head slightly, her hands unconsciously fiddling with the corners of her clothes, looking a little uneasy.

After a long while, she mustered up the courage to raise her head, looking at Zhang Chenting and Shangguan Jing with flickering eyes, and whispered the reason:

“Actually…it’s because I have some memories of humans in my mind.

Those memories taught me that humans are often fickle creatures. Even those with pure hearts may develop evil thoughts once they encounter something that makes their hearts beat fast.

As for you, I'm not sure if the same will happen, so..."

Having said that, Hua Xian'er paused for a moment, then raised her head again, carefully observing the reactions of the two people.

Seeing that they didn't show any displeasure, she took a deep breath and continued:

“The reason why I stopped you from going to the East is because, as far as I know, an extremely terrifying demon is sealed in that place.

With your current strength, it is impossible to compete with him. I really don't want to see you encounter any accidents. After all, in the past few days,

You have shown me many ways of life that I never knew existed, which have been very inspiring and helpful to me.”

Hearing this, Zhang Chenting couldn't help but frowned and asked:

"There's actually a demon sealed there? This is no joke. How on earth did you know this?"

Hua Xianer took a deep breath and slowly said:

"After successfully transforming myself, I began to wander around this world out of curiosity.

Once, I had the misfortune of encountering a ferocious tiger that had transformed into a human form, and it actually tried to eat me.

But it was not as fast as me, so I escaped. After that, I broke into the devil's abyss in the far east.

It was there that I saw that terrifying demon with my own eyes.”

At this point, Hua Xian'er shuddered involuntarily, and her eyes revealed deep fear without any concealment, as if the terrible scene at that time had reappeared before her eyes.

Obviously, that encounter with the devil left her with an indelible shadow and psychological trauma.

After hearing this, Zhang Chenting was shocked and said:

"That transformed black tiger must be at the Imperial Realm. Could it be that the demon is even more powerful than it? Could it be that it has already reached the peak of the Imperial Realm?"

Hua Xian'er nodded gently and replied in a heavy tone:

“That’s right, the demon’s strength is indeed terrifying, far beyond the reach of the transformed black tiger.

When I encountered him, I was almost powerless to fight back. If I hadn't spared no effort at the last moment and expended my own original strength in a desperate fight, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape his control at all."

Zhang Chenting took a deep breath after hearing this, and his expression became more serious.

Then, he raised his head and looked at the streaks of light in the sky that were rapidly flying towards the east like meteors, muttering to himself, "From this perspective, those who rashly head towards the Demon Abyss are likely to be in great danger.

Sigh...if my silly little brother joins in the fun, he'll lose the cards he holds."

"Your brother is in such danger. As his brother, aren't you worried?" Shangguan Jing asked doubtfully.

Because she didn't see too much worry on Zhang Chenting's face.

"He can't die. Even if he encounters a strong man in the early stage of the Venerable Realm, he can run away." Zhang Chenting said confidently.

Hearing this, Shangguan Jing felt as if struck by lightning. Her delicate body trembled violently, and a storm of emotions surged in her heart:

"Even a Spirit Realm cultivator could escape from the hands of a Venerable Realm cultivator. How could an ordinary family possess such a terrifying trump card? You actually keep saying that your family is a small family. How can I believe that?"

Shangguan Jing widened her beautiful eyes and stared at Zhang Chenting in disbelief, as if questioning why he lied to her.

Zhang Chenting was a little uneasy when she looked at him, and he quickly waved his hands to explain, "Hey, what are you looking at me with? I really didn't lie to you!"

However, Shangguan Jing didn't buy it at all. She crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "I don't believe it!"

Faced with Shangguan Jing's questioning, Zhang Chenting felt helpless and said casually, "If you don't believe it, forget it!"

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Shangguan Jing and started to fiddle with the beef he was roasting.

Seeing this, Shangguan Jing stomped her feet in anger and muttered, "You guy, you really make me mad!" But in the end she didn't say anything else.

At this time, Hua Xian'er was staring at the barbecue that Zhang Chenting was flipping in his hands, with a longing light flashing in her big watery eyes.

In the past few days, she has seen such delicious and tempting food more than once, and her heart has long been filled with curiosity and anticipation for it.

It’s a pity that every time she wanted to get closer and try it, a trace of fear and hesitation would surge in her heart, and in the end she could only watch others enjoy these delicacies.

"Can...can you give me some food?"

Hua Xian'er's cheeks, as white as mutton-fat jade, were slightly flushed, making her as lovely and charming as a ripe apple.

Her big watery eyes looked at Zhang Chenting shyly and asked softly, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness in her tone.

In fact, she knew very well that she and Zhang Chenting had just met for the first time, and it was really inappropriate to ask him for food so rashly.

However, at this moment, the tempting aroma kept entering her nostrils, teasing her taste buds, making it difficult for her to resist the temptation of delicious food, so she didn't care about anything else.

"Of course you can! Come to think of it, I don't even know how to thank you. Here, try this first bunch."

Zhang Chenting smiled brightly and handed the freshly grilled, still steaming, beef skewers to Hua Xianer without hesitation.

The skewers were roasted until golden in color, with oil sizzling on the surface and emitting a mouth-watering aroma.

Hearing Zhang Chenting agree so readily, Hua Xian'er was delighted and quickly stretched out her slender white hands to take the skewers he handed over.

She carefully brought the skewers to her nose and sniffed gently. The rich aroma of barbecue instantly filled her nasal cavity.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Hua Xian'er couldn't help but exclaim, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement.

Then, she could no longer suppress her inner desire, opened her cherry-like mouth, and bit down hard.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the tender and juicy piece of meat was bitten open. The crispy outside and tender inside made Hua Xianer's face reveal an expression of great surprise.

She originally thought that the skewers only smelled good, but she didn't expect them to taste even more delicious.

The perfect cooking temperature keeps the meat tender and smooth while having a crispy skin.

Moreover, the flavor of the seasoning is perfectly integrated into it, not being too strong to cover up the deliciousness of the meat itself, but also adding a unique flavor.

What’s even more rare is that despite being grilled, the skewers are not greasy at all, making people want to eat another one after eating one.

At this moment, Hua Xian'er was completely immersed in this incomparable delicacy and even forgot everything around her.

As she savored the delicious food in her mouth, she secretly sighed in her heart: This is definitely the most delicious food she has ever eaten in her life, no doubt about it!

Seeing Hua Xian'er eating so happily, Shangguan Jing couldn't help but say, "Give me a bunch quickly, give me a bunch quickly."

Zhang Chenting smiled, without showing favoritism, "Why are you panicking? Here, this is yours."

As he said this, he handed the fragrant skewers in his hand to Shangguan Jing.

He is very happy now. These days he just grills meat, sleeps, and occasionally practices in this cave. He has the company of a beautiful woman and lives a very carefree life.

And such a relaxed and happy life can also allow him to obtain rich resources for cultivation.

At this moment, Hua Xian'er, who was eating barbecue, suddenly said, "You are from the outside world, right? Is the outside world very big?"

"The Shenxuan Continent is huge, so huge that it is unimaginable. Most cultivators cannot travel to all its places in their entire lives." As he spoke, Zhang Chenting's eyes revealed a longing look.

His dream is to wait until his family rises and his own cultivation reaches a higher level, so that he can travel around the continent and see all the beautiful scenery.

"Can I sign an equal contract with you? I also want to visit the Shenxuan Continent you mentioned." Hua Xian'er asked cautiously with her big eyes.

Is there such a good thing? Judging from Hua Xian'er's words just now, her strength has definitely reached the imperial realm. Zhang Chenting never dreamed that such a strong person would choose to sign an equal contract with him.

"Are you really willing? My current strength is not as strong as yours." Zhang Chenting scratched his head embarrassedly. Although he wanted to, he was aware of the gap between his strength and the other party's.

"Of course I am willing. I can protect you. Although the demon has broken the seal and I can't save too many people, I can still save three people." Hua Xian'er clenched her fists as she spoke.

The reason why she chose to sign an equal contract with Zhang Chenting was that after seeing her, he did not have the idea of ​​conquering her in his heart, but Shangguan Jing had a hint of it, although it was not obvious, but she still sensed it.

Of course, part of the reason is that I want to eat this delicious food.

"Okay, since you don't mind my weakness, then I agree to sign an equal contract. As for that demon, as long as his strength doesn't exceed the Supreme Realm, I am confident that I can kill him. Don't worry too much."
