Chapter 1264: Joining Along



Chapter 1264: Joining Along

“This is not a place to talk. Head in with me first.” The young woman in a red dress said, cast a meaningful glance at Liu Ming, and walked into the inn.

Liu Ming and Ye Tianmei exchanged glances. Seeing Ye Tianmei nod slightly, the three of them entered the inn.

The inn looked nothing special from the outside. However, the space inside was not small. There were small private courtyards. The place was serene. It seemed suitable for the passing-by cultivators to stay here temporarily.

Liu Ming and the rest did not speak. They followed the young woman in a red dress into a small and exquisite courtyard.

As soon as they stepped into the gate, they found more than 20 cultivators in white robes either standing or sitting inside. Most of their faces were pale. It seemed like they had been seriously injured and hadn’t recovered yet.

Judging from the appearance and costume of these beastkin cultivators, it was obvious that they were the young cultivators from the Sky Fox Race who got separated from Yao Ji previously.

“You all…” As soon as Yao Ji saw the Sky Fox Race cultivators in the courtyard, joy appeared on her face. She darted into the small courtyard.

“It’s the princess!”

“Princess Yao Ji!”

These Sky Fox Race young beastkin cultivators were also excited when they saw Yao Ji, and they all surrounded her with teary eyes.

After a while, Yao Ji pushed away the people around her, walked up to the young woman in a red dress, and bowed again.

“Thank you for rescuing my people, senior.”

“You’re welcome. It’s just a small effort.” Madam Yu Zao waved her hand and said lightly.

Liu Ming stood quietly by the side. His eyes flickered slightly.

Along the way, when Yao Ji chatted with Liu Ming, he vaguely mentioned the war between the three races that broke out that day. Saint King Lei Su knew that the odds of winning were not high, so she made a deal with Blood Vine Race’s Saint King Blood Smear.

Liu Ming did not know the details, but the reason why Blood Vine Race helped Yao Ji and the others might be mostly related to this matter.

“Yao Ji, now that you’re at the territory of the Blood Vine Race, why don’t you follow me to the Lang Ya Mountain Range, the holy land of our race? Saint King Blood Smear wants to meet you.” Madam Yu Zao said slowly.

Hearing this, Yao Ji’s face was painted with surprise. Then, she pondered for a moment, and said, “Since Senior Saint King Blood Smear summons me, Yao Ji will go naturally.”

After saying this, Yao Ji turned around and looked at Liu Ming.

“Mr. Liu, I’m grateful for your care these days. In the future… If there is an opportunity, Yao Ji will definitely repay this kindness.”

After finishing speaking, Yao Ji cupped her fist to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming looked calm, but he secretly sighed in his heart. He cupped his fist and returned the courtesy.

Liu Ming didn’t know when he could meet Yao Ji again after the farewell today.

The young woman in a red dress glanced over Yao Ji and Liu Ming with a slight gleam in her eyes, but she said nothing.

After standing up, Yao Ji went to the group of Sky Fox Race’s young disciples and chatted softly with them.

“Madam Yu Zao. I have something to report. Senior Xue Wen and Brother Qing, who went to rescue Yao Ji with me, were ambushed by Hu Mei’s avatar. They have already fallen.” Ye Tianmei stepped forward, cupped her fist, and said.

“I’ve learned about that a few days ago, but I didn’t expect that it was Hu Mei who did it herself.” Yu Zao was startled when she heard this. A hint of murderous intent appeared on her face.

Immediately after, Yu Zao moved her gaze at Liu Ming, then she said with a smile,

“I suppose you’re Liu Ming, right? I’ve often heard from that Long’er mentioning you over the years. Speaking of which, your effort to refine the jingang bone tempering pill was a great help to Blood Vine Race.”

“Senior, you flatter me. Junior also benefited a lot from the deal.” Liu Ming replied humbly.

“Why do you have to be so modest? I heard that in order to intercept Yao Ji, the Green Snake Race and Shadow Wolf Race had sent quite a lot of Celestial State cultivators. They even send the young master of the Green Snake Race. Hu Mei even sent her avatar… Under such circumstances, it’s all thanks to Mr. Liu that Yao Ji was able to reach Mo Yun City safely.” Yu Zao’s eyes flashed. Her tone was gentle, and her eyes seemed calm, but she seemed to be able to read people’s minds.

“I don’t have such ability. It was all thanks to everyone’s joint efforts that we barely survived these crises. I dare not take credit for it.” Liu Ming looked around and laughed.

Huh, our Blood Vine Race welcomes talents like Mr. Liu. If you have time in the future, you should visit the Lang Ya Mountain Range as a guest.” Seeing Liu Ming’s evasive words, Yu Zao didn’t point it out blatantly.

“If there is a chance, I will definitely visit next time.” Liu Ming readily agreed. However, he had no intention of going there.

To save the Sky Fox Race, Liu Ming had pretty much exposed his strength. According to Yu Zao, the matter of killing the young master of the Green Snake Race would soon be exposed.

Consequently, Li Ming had offended two major races, which were the Green Snake Race and the Shadow Wolf Race, in addition to Hu Mei, the powerhouse of the Mystic Comprehending State. His actions greatly violated his principle to stay on a low profile. Naturally, he did not want to get closer to the Blood Vine Race.

“Mr. Liu should rest here for a couple of days after your overnight escape. Nephew Disciple Ye, please take good care of Mr. Liu.” Yu Zao smiled faintly, turned around, and said to Ye Tianmei.

“Yes, I understand.” Ye Tianmei hastily agreed.

Yu Zao nodded to Liu Ming. Then, she waved one hand, launched a ball of red light that engulfed Yao Ji and the other Sky Fox Race cultivators, and soared into the sky.

In the light ball, the figure of Yu Zao, Yao Ji, and the others became blurred.

In the next moment, the entire red light ball trembled and turned into a stream of light, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

After Liu Ming and Ye Tianmei watched Madam Yu Zao and others leave at the entrance of the inn, the two couldn’t help but glance at each other as if they could see a bit of relief in each other’s eyes.

It was just that there was a sense of loss and melancholy in Liu Ming’s eyes.

Afterward, Liu Ming spent some spirit stones and asked the innkeeper for a quiet courtyard. Anyway, there were many rooms in this courtyard. It wouldn’t become crowded just for having another two people.

After 15 minutes…

Liu Ming and Ye Tianmei stood in the small serene courtyard side by side. They were 1.5 meters apart at the moment. The two were silent, and the living room was exceptionally quiet.

“Tianmei, you’ve frequently used the demon-controlling flute along the way, and you’ve suffered a serious loss of vitality. Why don’t you take a rest first?” Liu Ming was the first to break the silence.

“I’m fine. I just need to rest for a while. Thanks for your help in this journey.” Ye Tianmei turned around, looked at Liu Ming with a twinkle in her eyes, and said calmly.

Looking back on the encounters along the way and the extraordinary prowess Liu Ming had shown, Ye Tianmei felt a mysterious feeling on Liu Ming.

Once upon a time, Liu Ming was just a trivial cultivator in front of Ye Tianmei. However, the subsequent encounters repeatedly showed Liu Ming’s unique qualities.

Especially at that time on Bieyuan Island, Liu Ming dared to face the palm attack of the Real Pellet State Siren King for her, while he was still at the Condensation Period. His tranquility, calmness, and courage were still fresh in her memory.

Even after a hundred years, the scene at that time was still vivid in Ye Tianmei’s mind. She would recall it in dreams from time to time.

Perhaps from then on, Liu Ming was destined to be extraordinary in this life.

While Ye Tainmei’s thoughts were running wildly, the cold expression on her gorgeous face gradually faded. She hadn’t slept for days and nights during the escape, so her face became a little pale. However, it added a different charm to her.

Looking at Ye Tianmei’s delicate face at this time, Liu Ming couldn’t help but recall his encounters with this woman in his heart, so he stopped talking and became a little absent-minded for a while.

Seeing this, Ye Tianmei waited silently at the side. There was a moment of silence between the two of them.

After a while, Liu Ming turned his head away consciously, feeling slightly hot on his face.

“Now that this matter is over, what are your plans?” Ye Tianmei asked.

“I plan to go back to Luo City first and take some rest for some time. After the sea-crossing giant ship has returned, I will set off for the Middle Sky Continent.” Liu Ming did not want to hide anything. He also told Ye Tianmei about Qian Rupin and her mastery of array totems.

Ye Tianmei was born in the Yunchuan Continent. After coming to the Savage Wild Continent, she discovered the lack of resources in the original Sea Region. When she heard that Qian Rupin also came from the Tianyue Sect and that she was able to achieve this formation entirely through talent, she couldn’t help but praise her.

In addition, as the high-rank cultivator of the Yunchuan Continent at that time, Ye Tianmei naturally heard of the Middle Sky Continent, which was known as the origin of the human race. It was inconvenient to ask him on the way to escape, but now she asked several questions in succession and looked interested.

“By the way, Tianmei, why don’t you go to the Middle Sky Continent with us?” Seeing this, Liu Ming’s heart moved, and he couldn’t help but ask.

“That’s fine. After all, Savage Wild Continent is not a place where our human cultivators can stay for a long time.” Hearing this, Ye Tianmei hesitated for a moment and said with a slight blush.

“Great! But will your Blood Vine Race Master allow your departure?” Liu Ming was naturally overjoyed when he heard that Ye Tianmei was willing to go with him, but then he thought of something and asked with a slight frown.

“It’s alright. Master said a long time ago that I can leave at any time. However, Master has a great kindness to me. I will explain this matter to him when I return to Luo City.” Ye Tianmei replied.

“In that case, once you recover from your injuries, we will set off immediately and return to Luo City. As for the giant ship ticket, you don’t have to worry. I have a way.” Liu Ming felt relieved when he heard Ye Tianmei’s reply.

In the following time, the two chatted casually for a while before returning to their respective room.

Liu Ming’s fingers gestured swiftly. Beams of light fell all over the room, and soon he set up an array.

After doing all this, Liu Ming felt at ease and sat cross-legged for a while. Recalling the experience of the past few months, he had a complicated mood.

Liu Ming let out a long breath and quickly stabilized his mind.

Liu Ming waved his hand and took out 6 storage devices. These were the spoils of his trip to help the Sky Fox Race. Most of which were storage devices of the Celestial State cultivators.

Liu Ming hurried all the way to this city, so he hadn’t had time to check it out.

TL: Finally, he can return to the Middle Sky Continent…
