Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

The sun rises and the moon sets, the moon sets and the moon rises,

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying were not walking aimlessly, but were heading straight south, because their destination was Qinhuai City, and Qinhuai City was in the south of the entire Mingyuan Empire...

Liu Mengying was not idle along the way. As long as she was not traveling or cooking, she was basically practicing Xuan Qi...

Ye Fan was even more busy. Even when he was fishing, hunting, or picking wild fruits, he was practicing the mysterious movements in the Heavenly Scroll Fragments. Sometimes he even fell from a tree because he was so tired from practicing. But after Ye Fan stood up and took a short rest, he would continue practicing. The trip to the capital made him fully realize the meaning of the four words "the water in the capital is deep"... There are too many masters there... This made him feel a very strong sense of crisis. He needed to become stronger and stronger...

Of course, Ye Fan would also take time out from his training to study the Mysterious Patterns, especially the Mysterious Talisman Secret Record that was placed together with the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book. He would always read it and gain something new from it. Every time he read and studied it, he would gain something different…

...........

One day at noon,

Ye Fan finished practicing the mysterious movements in the Tianyuan Fragments, and quite exhausted, he jumped into the river next to him and started swimming. During this period of practice, he found that no matter how much mysterious energy he cultivated, it would be absorbed by his body and only a trace would be left.

However, Ye Fan was not dissatisfied with this. After all, if his body was not strong enough, he would have been crushed to pieces by the invisible pressure from the old man with the vague voice in the palace before...

"what!"

"There's a pervert swimming in the river!"

"where!"

"Over there! The naked pervert!"

"Run!"

"Stone him!"

..........

When Ye Fan was swimming, there was a cry of surprise from the shore. Surprised, he decisively dived into the riverbed. Although he was not naked, every time he practiced the mysterious movements of the Tianyuan Fragments, he was very tired at the end. When he could not control his Xuan Qi, his clothes were easily torn into strips by the Xuan Qi, or even shattered...

After a while,

"Wow!"

Ye Fan jumped out of the river, changed his clothes quickly, and then ran straight upstream.

Soon, Ye Fan came to Liu Mengying's side. At this moment, she was cooking lunch beside a makeshift stove.

"Little Bean Sprout, I just found a human being...right over there..."

As Ye Fan spoke, he handed a large killed silver carp to Liu Mengying.

"it is good!"

Liu Mengying took the silver carp and said excitedly, "Big brother, after lunch, let's go over there and take a look. It's been a while since we've seen other humans!"

"Ok!"

..........

After lunch,

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying walked downstream along the river, and soon they found traces of people making fire and cooking on the riverside mudflats.

"Brother, there doesn't seem to be any village nearby. The noise you just heard might be a passing merchant who happened to take a rest nearby!"

Liu Mengying looked around and spoke.

"indeed!"

Ye Fan nodded, "This area is still a desolate forest...but there are traces of paths starting to appear..."

"what!"

As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, a frightened and aggrieved female voice came from afar.

The two looked at each other, then quickly walked towards the source of the sound.

Soon, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying arrived deep in the forest. There happened to be a group of merchants in the group. In the middle of the group, an old man was holding a cane and sweeping it between the legs of a young girl. His old face was indescribably vulgar and smiling. The girl looked embarrassed and terrified, gritting her teeth tightly, but obviously did not dare to resist the old man. The other people in the group turned their heads or turned their backs. It was obvious that they were also very afraid of the old man with the cane and did not dare to stop him.

"Scream! Scream! Scream again!"

At this time, the triumphant voice of the old man with the cane sounded, and his hands continued to move between the girl's legs, and the expression on his face became even more obscene.

"Big brother, who is that old man?"

Liu Mengying spoke angrily.

"do not know!"

Ye Fan shook his head, "He's just a disgusting, wretched old man!"

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying were not far away from each other. Their conversation quickly attracted the attention of the old man with the cane. He turned around and saw Liu Mengying, his eyes lit up immediately, "You are so pretty, little girl. Come here and let me touch you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mengying, who was already angry, became even more furious. She strode forward and walked straight towards the old man with crutches.

Seeing this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of the old man with the cane's mouth. When Liu Mengying arrived, he naturally stretched out his hand, but was grabbed by Liu Mengying, who pulled him quickly and threw the old man with the cane heavily to the ground.

"what!"

The old man with the cane was knocked unconscious by Liu Mengying's blow. He suddenly jumped up, spat out the dirt in his mouth, glared at Liu Mengying, and shouted: "You little yellow-haired girl, are you tired of living?"

After the loud shout, the fire-attributed aura emerged from the old man with the cane, but it was dispersed by Liu Mengying's palm. The next moment, he was kicked several meters away by Liu Mengying.

The old man with the cane screamed and rolled on the ground, with obvious shock on his face, "General... General rank nine..."

The next moment, the shock on the old man's face disappeared, and turned into disdain and complacency. "So what if you are a ninth-rank general? I tell you, without me, Master Tao, you can't even think about passing through this Ailao Forest. By then, you can't even think about reaching Qinhuai City on time!"

"Are you going to Qinhuai City?"

At this time, Ye Fan took over the conversation. He was still thinking about which direction Qinhuai City should go. After all, he and Liu Mengying only knew that Qinhuai City was in the south, but didn't know its exact location, so they could only keep going south.

But just heading south is not a solution, as we might miss Qinhuai City...

"Exactly! Qinhuai City is the richest city in the world. Not only does everyone want to go there, but there is also a grand event going on recently. A lot of people are trying their best to go there and make a fortune!"

"Little girl, looking at your appearance, you are also thinking of taking the opportunity to make a fortune, but time is running out, so choose to take the risk of crossing this Ailao Forest!"

"Humph!"

The old man with the cane looked at Liu Mengying with certainty, "This Ailao Forest, let alone a ninth-rank general, even if it is a marquis-level expert, it is wishful thinking to want to pass through without a special method! Little girl, if you know what's best for you, kneel down and give it to this uncle... uh..."

The old man with the cane stopped talking before he could finish his words. He was grabbed by the throat by Ye Fan. He was extremely terrified at the moment because he was a Level 8 warrior and could not move because of Ye Fan who had no profound energy fluctuations. He just thought that Liu Mengying was the most difficult person at the scene, but now it seems that Ye Fan is not an easy person to deal with...
