Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

"Mm." Ling nodded.

"I don't believe it," Ye Qingshuang said. "You're not injured, so why is there blood on the back of your clothes?"

"Don't tell me that's the blood from the beast you killed before."

Ling Yi wanted to say something, but the blood of the beast he had killed before was blue, so he could only say, "It's whale blood. I attacked it when we first encountered it."

Whale: "?"

Is this someone trying to take the blame for?

Sure! It's so big, it can carry a lot of pots!

Ye Qingshuang looked suspicious and still didn't believe it.

Ling Yi said, "If you don't believe me, touch it with your hand and you can feel if there are any wounds."

Ye Qingshuang thought it was feasible, and reached out to touch Ling Yi's back. It was very smooth, without any of the bumps that indicate a wound.

"That's really amazing!" Ye Qingshuang now believed it.

"Hmm." Ling responded without changing her expression; this was precisely why she wanted to get Tianyan for free.

Tianyan can heal wounds completely without leaving any trace, but she can't yet.

...

Two days later, Whale led them to the edge of the Fengzhou Formation.

There are very small cracks in the Fengzhou Formation; some are large enough for adults to pass through, but others are only wide enough for children.

Lin Chengtian led the little golden tiger through first, followed closely by Ye Qingshuang and Baijiu. After everyone else had passed, Ling Yitong said in a high-pitched voice, "We'll go first. Can you catch up?"

Whale said cheerfully, "If you can catch up, don't wait for me, I'll go after you."

"Alright." Ling Yi responded and flew through the Fengzhou Grand Formation.

After passing through the Fengzhou Formation, the little golden tiger grew larger. Ling Yi arrived and went directly onto the little golden tiger's back. Seeing that the dead fish was gone, the little golden tiger mustered all its strength and flew away.

Ling Yi didn't stop it, but just quietly watched the Fengzhou Formation getting further and further away.

It was very simple and peaceful; I left just like that.

It's so much simpler than before.

Ling Yi didn't stop the little golden tiger. Ye Qing Shuang said, "Little golden tiger, fly slowly, or the whale won't be able to catch up. If you get tired before the whale catches up, what are we supposed to do? Are we all just floating on the sea?"

The little golden tiger was flying so fast because it wanted to shake off the whale, but upon hearing this, it had no choice but to slow down.

Fortunately, the whale caught up quickly, and the group returned to its back.

Whale is a level-elemental beast, invincible in this sea area. No sea beast would be foolish enough to provoke a beast that it cannot handle. Therefore, half a month after leaving the sealing formation, Whale sent them to the near sea.

Since there were already ships coming and going in the near sea, staying on the whale's back would be too conspicuous, so Ling Yi let the others go to Little Golden Tiger's back first, while he stayed behind and talked with the whale for a while.

After listening to what Ling Yi said, Whale turned around and left.

Sea beasts dare not provoke earth-level beasts, but humans do. Once they discover the whale's whereabouts, countless people will want to get their hands on it, and with such a large reward, someone will surely take action.

After Whale left, Ling Yi got on Little Golden Tiger's back and headed towards the nearshore area.

"Ling Yi, half a month has passed." Ye Qingshuang took out the shrunken Cui Linglong and shook it: "Little Cui can be used again."

Lingyi glanced at it: "Didn't you call her Little Linglong before? How come you're calling her Little Cui now?"

“Xiao Cui sounds so nice and easy to pronounce,” Ye Qingshuang said. “But it doesn’t like it. It insists on being called Xiao Linglong. If you call it Xiao Cui in front of it, it won’t listen. You can only call it Xiao Linglong. But now, it doesn’t know that it’s better to call it Xiao Cui.”

"It's too conspicuous," Ling Yi said, then looked at Ye Qing Shuang: "We're almost at the nearshore, don't you have anything to say?"

"Holy crap." Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi in shock: "How do you know me so well?"

Ling Yi chuckled softly, but remained silent.

"You really can't hide anything." Ye Qingshuang said with a smile, then looked at the group and her expression became extremely serious: "Remember, from today onwards, you are disciples of the Tianling Sect in Lingcheng, Zhaoyue Empire, Qizhou. I am your master."

"A disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect?" Lin Chengtian looked at Ye Qingshuang: "Is this your identity, or did you assign us this identity?"

"Of course it's my identity." Ye Qingshuang looked at Lin Chengtian: "You don't still think I'm from Yunzhou, do you?"

Lin Chengtian: "Do I look stupid?"

Ye Qingshuang nodded: "Very silly."

Lin Chengtian sneered, too lazy to argue with her.

Ye Qingshuang didn't mind and continued, "It's like this, I'm an orphan, raised by the sect leader of Tianling Sect. Later, the sect leader passed away, and I became the successor. The other disciples of Tianling Sect were not convinced by me and left one after another, leaving me as a sect leader without any disciples. So, I wanted to go out and find some disciples, so I went to Yunzhou. As for why I went to Yunzhou... I'm too lazy to make it up, you all know what I mean."

The others: "..." Is everything this direct now?

They used to at least make things up, but now they don't even bother.

"My identity is unimportant. What's important is that the Heavenly Spirit Sect can help you create fake identities." Ye Qingshuang looked at the group and said, "From today onwards, no matter who asks you, you can only be people from Qizhou. As for Yunzhou, we've heard of it, but we don't care. Understand?"

"Remember, you must not let anyone know that you came from Yunzhou!" Ye Qingshuang said, "If others find out that you are from Yunzhou, there will be trouble."

Lin Chengtian nodded: "Okay."

The liquor also responded, "I've got it."

After the two responded, Ye Qingshuang looked at Lin Xinze: "Xinze, did you remember that?"

"Remember what?"

Ye Qingshuang said, "Remember not to tell anyone that you are from Yunzhou."

Lin Xinze chuckled: "Sister Qing Shuang, what are you talking about?"

"What do you mean by 'people from Yunzhou'?" Lin Xinze asked. "What kind of place is that?"

Ye Qingshuang was taken aback at first, then vigorously rubbed Lin Xinze's head: "You are much smarter than your older brother."

"Hehe." Lin Xinze laughed even more happily: "Sister Qing Shuang, don't worry, I've remembered everything."

Ye Qingshuang was relieved and looked at Lin Chengtian: "You must listen to your master from now on."

Lin Chengtian: "..."

"Okay, Master," Ling Yi said with exceptional ease, "Remember to reimburse us for our food, lodging, and transportation."

Lin Chengtian also said, "Since you are our master, and we have just arrived, is it alright to leave everything to you?"

“Of course Master has the ability, but…” Ye Qingshuang shook her head at Lin Chengtian: “Disciples are divided into those who are favored and those who are not. Masters don’t care about those who are not favored.”

Lin Xinze cupped his face in his hands and looked at Ye Qingshuang: "Master, Master, am I a favored disciple?"

"My good disciple, come and let your master kiss you..." Ye Qingshuang hugged Lin Xinze tightly: "You are all pampered, only your eldest brother is not pampered."

Baijiu laughed when he heard this.

Ling Yi watched quietly until they reached the nearshore area and saw many ships. Only then did Ye Qingshuang stop playing around with them and get down to business.
