I long to return home!

What hot-blooded young man could resist such a flirtatious pose, especially Xue Wu, a 20-year-old loser and single dog?

He tilted his head and coughed a few times to show his embarrassment, and the slight blush on his face was already exposed to Jin Lingjiao's eyes. She couldn't help but chuckle with satisfaction. Seeing this, he stammered, "How do we get out now?"

"Go out, hehe... watch closely, your grandma will show you something." With that, Jin Lingjiao came to the edge of the shade, took a deep breath, and with a gentle wave of her hand, the fan opened, radiating a golden light while flames coiled around it. Then she waved it towards the poison, and in an instant, clusters of fire waves danced in the wind, burning away the poison in the maple forest.

The spirit weapon imbued with a spirit is indeed extraordinary, and its power is evident to all. Apart from Lei Mengying's Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade, which other spirit weapon can rival it?

Seeing that the toxins had been completely removed, Jin Lingjiao smiled and happily stroked the fan before carefully tucking it into her waistband for safekeeping.

"The poison is all gone, where do we go next?" Jin Lingjiao swung her arms and legs lightly, and came to Xue Wu triumphantly, swaying her slender waist and showing off her Phoenix Fire Feather.

"cut!"

Xue Wu pursed his lips, feeling envious but unable to voice it. Among everyone present, he was the only one without a decent spiritual weapon, which left him feeling quite resentful. However, he quickly changed his mind, looking back at the towering volcano in the distance. An idea formed in his mind, but it still needed to be verified. He turned to Lei Mengying expectantly and asked, "Does the royal family have any records of any spiritual weapons in this volcano that are as powerful as that Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade?"

"Awesome Kras?!" Lei Mengying was taken aback, revealing a puzzled expression. Then she said calmly, "The ancient books do not record the details of the Fire Domain. This is mainly because our royal family focuses on lightning and does not care about other elemental roots."

"Alright, but as the saying goes, 'A gamble can pay off,' and 'No pain, no gain.' I'm going to go and see for myself no matter what," Xue Wu said emphatically, his voice rising from a low to a high.

However, his lecture was too philosophical and too good for others to understand, which led to some doubts.

"A bicycle? What's a bicycle?"

"I don't know, what's a motorcycle? What's the connection between the two?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know either."

"..."

Xue Wu looked around, slightly embarrassed. He coughed a few times and explained, "In short, I want to go to the top of the volcano." After saying that, he fixed his gaze on Xu Tao's face, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Xu Tao was also taken aback. After a moment's thought, he shook his head and rejected the idea: "No, it's too dangerous. What if another fourth-tier magical beast appears? Are you going to risk your life again?"

"Don't panic, don't panic. Isn't my senior brother watching over things this time? Besides, I'll just watch. If I have to do it all by myself again, I promise I'll run away as fast as I can." Xue Wu patted his puffed-out chest and assured him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Tao pondered for a moment and said, "That's not impossible, but remember what you said and don't act rashly." He then looked at everyone present.

Gu Qingcheng nodded slightly, while Lei Mengying said coldly, "I will absolutely keep my promise to him."

Seeing that no one objected, Xu Tao led the team toward the volcano, while Mo Kun, who was in the group, looked serious and thoughtful.

I'm willing to risk my life for Your Highness again, no matter what. The Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle nearly lost its life that time; if we encounter danger again, I hope Your Highness won't blame me for my recklessness...

...

As the group made their way towards the volcano, Lei Mengying frowned slightly. There were still some things she couldn't understand, so she looked at Xue Wu, thinking that she might have to ask him to find out.

Xue Wu also sensed the gaze directed at him and looked over. Lei Mengying immediately turned her head away awkwardly. As a princess of a country, it was impolite of her to stare at a mere cultivator like that.

Xue Wu paused for a moment, then slowly approached Lei Mengying and asked in a low voice, "What is it?"

Seeing that Xue Wu spoke first, her resentment subsided. She adjusted her tone and asked coldly, "Why can you use the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade?"

"Huh? I don't know either. I just swung the knife at that time and chopped at that fat chicken. That doesn't count as using it, does it?" Xue Wu scratched his head and explained. His memory of being in the water had faded, and he was wondering why he was able to pick up the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade.

Lei Mengying was taken aback. She clearly remembered that when Xue Wu fell into the lake, a blade of energy was unleashed, and then the complete Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade appeared in front of her. Could it be that Xue Wu, who was holding the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade, was also unleashed by the Purple Winged Thunder Eagle?

She gathered her jumbled thoughts and then asked, "What were the black and white energies you used back then?"

"Huh?! What black and white? I fainted as soon as I fell into the water, didn't you pull me out?"

"You..." Lei Mengying hesitated, unable to finish her sentence. Xue Wu had been standing perfectly fine in front of her, manipulating black and white energy to fight the purple-winged thunder eagle to a standstill. Not only that, he had called her a country bumpkin, placed his hand on her cheek, and finally...

Her face showed some displeasure. Every cultivator might have their own secrets that they couldn't tell, but this was the first time she had ever seen someone lie through their teeth like this. Finally, she said angrily, "One last thing, what's with the aura on my body? I've sensed this aura on you before."

Upon hearing this, Xue Wu calmly examined Lei Mengying's cultivation level and was surprised to find that she had also reached the fourteenth level of Qi Refining. However, he was puzzled as to why she, as a member of the royal family, would not even know this.

"You royals don't know about the fourteenth level of Qi Refining? You've broken through the bottleneck of Qi Refining and reached the fourteenth level just like me, and you don't even know that? You're such a country bumpkin..." After saying that, Xue Wu quickly covered his mouth. In the end, he inexplicably shouted it out. Even he himself couldn't react to it, but it came out very naturally.

Fourteenth level of Qi Refining?!

Lei Mengying had heard of this realm, but had never experienced it. It was only from Xue Wu that she learned that she had entered the fourteenth level of Qi Refining. No wonder she felt that she had surpassed the Qi Refining stage cultivators, but had not reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Wait, a country bumpkin?!

Her mood instantly shifted from surprise to anger. Just moments ago she had claimed she had been unconscious before falling into the water, but now her true colors were revealed, and she stopped trying to deny it.

"You...you still dare to lie through your teeth, saying you were unconscious when you fell into the water."

"No, I was really unconscious at the time. This idiom... no... anyway, I don't know how I said it. It's really not my fault," Xue Wu explained innocently.

Just as Xue Wu was wondering how to explain, Jin Lingjiao came over and pulled him back, thus ending the awkward situation. Before pulling him away, she gave Lei Mengying a fierce look, as if to say, "You dare to compete with me for someone?"
