Even hybrid monsters have their day

In the distance, a black dot was approaching at an extremely fast speed, slowly growing larger and larger. After a few seconds, it was not difficult to see that it was a person coming this way.

However, Luan Hao, lying on the ground, remained calm and composed, showing no signs of wariness. It seemed as if he didn't care who was coming, or perhaps he knew who it was.

As soon as Geng Miaowan's feet touched the ground, she plopped down next to Luan Hao. She lay down in a starfish position, then, realizing something was amiss, she pulled her legs together, and mimicked Luan Hao's posture, crossed her hands behind her head, stared at the pure white space above her without a single impurity, and let out a long breath.

Throughout the entire process, Luan Hao didn't even glance at her.

"Do you think we'll just stay trapped in this weird place forever?" Geng Miaowan's voice was soft and gentle, as if she were asking Luan Hao, or perhaps talking to herself.

Although leveling up is fast here, there's no one else here except her and Luan Hao. All she does is cultivate, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.

She had searched for an exit in the surrounding area more than once during breaks in her cultivation, but to no avail. There was no exit, not even an end in sight; no matter how long she flew, it was all a vast expanse of white.

"No, it won't happen." Luan Hao's voice was very certain.

"how do you know?"

Luan Hao turned to look at her. Her face, which he found all too familiar, was now gazing at the sky with a look of confusion on it, as if the answer she sought to know was there.

He turned back and stared at the sky again, without saying a word.

Just when Geng Miaowan thought he wouldn't answer her, she heard him say casually, "Don't you find this place strange? It's like a place specially prepared just for you. Here, you can cultivate at will, growing at an incredible speed. It's like..."

His voice was very pleasant, like pearls falling onto a jade plate. Geng Miaowan especially enjoyed listening to him speak; however, he rarely initiated conversations with her, and when he did, he always kept it brief, rarely speaking to her in a long sentence like this.

However, she wasn't in the mood to appreciate how pleasant his voice was; instead, she was intrigued by the content of his words. "Like what?"

"It's as if... these cultivation levels were specially prepared for you. They're just waiting for you to receive them," Luan Hao said, revealing his suspicions.

He felt that this was the only plausible reason.

"How could this be..." Geng Miaowan had also found it strange at first. This spiritual energy seemed to be tailor-made for her. Now that he said it, it made sense. But... "Why? And who would do this?"

"I don't know." This was something he wanted to know too. "But I have a feeling we should be able to get out soon."

"Really?" Geng Miaowan leaned forward, her hands on the ground, her head touching his face, her expression full of surprise.

Luan Hao seemed not to have expected her to suddenly lean in. Now the two of them were face to face, with her on top and him on the bottom. He could even feel her breath brushing against his cheek.

His instinct was to turn his head away. But his body wouldn't obey him and wouldn't move. He could only close his eyes and pretend to be sleepy, "I just feel like this."

Geng Miaowan was unaware of the trouble she had unintentionally caused him. After hearing what he said, she lay back down, but the confusion and unease on her face were gone, replaced by a faint smile.

Although Luan Hao only said it was a feeling, she inexplicably believed him.

As it turned out, he was right. When she broke through to the Mahayana stage, the space that had been troubling her suddenly began to tremble. The pure white world collapsed little by little, gradually revealing the gray layer that had enveloped it.

When the last trace of white disappeared, Geng Miaowan found herself in a pure gray world. She immediately felt an urge to sigh and rub her forehead. Was she going to have to stay here for a long time again...?

Before she could finish her exclamation, the surrounding air stirred, and a gust of wind carrying powerful spiritual energy attacked her from behind. Geng Miaowan was startled. What was happening? Had she been ambushed the moment she stepped out?

She thought this to herself, and her body reacted instantly. If she had encountered such a powerful attack in the past, she would never have been able to dodge it.

But things are different now. She has reached the Mahayana stage and is only one step away from the Tribulation stage. Her strength is incomparable to what it used to be.

As her brain made its judgment, her body reacted spontaneously, nimbly dodging to the side to avoid the attack. Then, she lightly pinched her fingers together and muttered incantations.

The person who launched the attack was extremely powerful, possibly even stronger than her. Furthermore, the fact that she was in the dark while the enemy was in the light put her at a significant disadvantage. After dodging the first attack, the person immediately launched a second wave of attacks, even more ferocious than before.

Geng Miaowan dodged again. She wanted to retaliate, but Fang seemed to be hidden in this gray space. She couldn't see him at all, let alone retaliate.

Luan Hao has just returned to the bead and can't come out to help her now, so she has to figure it out herself.

She dodged both attacks, and the person hiding in the shadows became increasingly anxious, unleashing faster and fiercer attacks, seemingly aiming to defeat her in one fell swoop.

However, Geng Miaowan was no pushover either, and she didn't panic when faced with such a powerful attack. While dodging, she released her divine sense to sense the person's location and mentally predicted where he would unleash his next move.

After several attempts, she grasped the pattern of the man's attacks. After successfully dodging his attack once again, she unleashed a powerful strike towards an open space. This strike concentrated fifty percent of her power. "Break!"

As her voice faded, a black figure appeared in front of Geng Miaowan.

"Who are you, and why are you attacking me?" she asked.

The man in black didn't answer, but stared at her with a grim expression, as if she owed him a million dollars.

The man didn't answer, but raised his palm as if to launch another attack. Suddenly, several figures appeared beside him, and one of them reached out and grabbed his hand, neutralizing his attack without him even realizing it.

"Well, now you should believe me, right?" A dignified voice rang out.

"So it really was her..."

"I've said before that I have high hopes for her, haven't I, Xuan Yi?"

"..." When did you say that...? (To be continued.)
