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

"Little Bean Sprout, I modified this boot from the leader of the Twelve Devils of Ghost, that guy Tie Miansheng. Put it on and practice a little, and you'll be able to perform the Ghostly King of Hell Steps!"

Under Liu Mengying's gaze, Ye Fan explained quickly.

"But big brother, white boots will get dirty easily when walking in this forest!"

Liu Mengying obviously treasured the boots Ye Fan gave her and didn't want to get them dirty.

"It's okay, Xiao Douya. These boots are meant to be worn. If they get dirty, they're dirty. Besides, the material of these boots is quite special. If they get dirty, you can just rinse them with water and they'll be very clean!"

As he spoke, Ye Fan had already handed the boots in his hand to Liu Mengying.

....

The night falls,

A shadow quickly passed through the dense forest, startling the chirping of insects and birds. It was Liu Mengying who was practicing the Ghostly King of Hell Step.

At first, Liu Mengying was just flying between the tree trunks and the ground. As she practiced according to Ye Fan’s instructions, her body gradually turned into a shadow... In the end, except for Ye Fan, no one at the scene could see Liu Mengying...

..........

In the next few days, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying moved forward under the leadership of Li Shuhong and the business travelers. The group was not moving fast because the road was difficult to walk on. The business travelers also brought a lot of supplies. From time to time, there were attacks from wild beasts, especially at night. The business travelers did not dare to move forward in the dark.

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying naturally had no objection to this, because they were not in a hurry to travel.

During the day, Ye Fan carried two huge stones on his back while walking, practicing the mysterious movements in the Tianyuan Fragment Scroll. Although the Xuanqi Stone and Danhuo he had obtained before had been consumed by him, he found that just like before on the mountain, as long as he practiced, the Xuanqi between heaven and earth would enter his body to help him temper his body. However, the Xuanqi absorbed was much less than that with the Xuanqi Stone...

At night, Ye Fan mostly studied the mysterious patterns...

After Liu Mengying mastered the Ghostly Hell Step, she would fly past various dangerous places from time to time...

…………

one night,

Ye Fan and his group lit a bonfire, and Liu Mengying was quite tired because she had been practicing very hard recently, so she fell asleep early in the tent.

"Brother Zhang!"

Ye Fan was flipping through a book on mysterious patterns that he had copied in the library of Mingyuan College under the mysterious stone lamp. Suddenly, a girl walked up to him. It was Li Shuhong.

Ye Fan had gotten used to being addressed as Li Shuhong. After what happened in the capital, he felt that he and Liu Mengying were probably wanted openly or covertly, so he simply gave a fake name, Zhang San, while Liu Mengying kept her original name.

"Is something wrong?"

Looking at Li Shuhong who seemed to be hesitant to speak, Ye Fan frowned slightly.

"Brother Zhang San, the Ailao Forest is just ahead... Boss Pan from the business travel agency hopes you can walk slower from now on, as they are afraid they can't keep up!"

Li Shuhong spoke after taking a look at the tents of the merchants and travelers not far away.

"Oh my god...slow down!?"

Ye Fan was surprised. "I thought Xiao Douya and I were enjoying the scenery all the way, and we were already too slow... I was worried that you would complain about it being too slow, so I urged Xiao Douya to hurry up..."

"what!"

Hearing this, Li Shuhong was slightly stunned. She never expected that the young hero in front of her, whose strength was at least at the marquis level, would actually consider their ideas.

"Brother Zhang San, you misunderstood! Before we met you, our speed was much slower than in the previous few days. One reason was that we carried more supplies, and the other was that Chen Batao always made strange requests for rest..."

"The road before was fine. We can keep up with you without any problem if we hold on. But the Ailao Forest is full of miasma, monsters... and ghosts... We are weak, and the strongest boss Pan is only at the first level... I'm afraid we can't keep up with you..."

At the end of her speech, Li Shuhong lowered her head, feeling very embarrassed.

"Oh, it's okay, let's walk slowly from now on~"

Ye Fan nodded. "It just so happens that there are beautiful mountains and clear waters nearby, and the scenery is pleasant. Xiao Douya likes this kind of environment very much. I can stop and rest and draw occasionally!"

"Okay, then Brother Zhang, thank you!"

Hearing this, Li Shuhong's face immediately became overjoyed.

"I don't want you, yours, you've already called me an old man..."

As Ye Fan was speaking, his expression suddenly changed slightly, because the bonfire around him seemed to be attracted by something, and the flames suddenly rushed in one direction.

And the same was true not only of the bonfire next to him, but also of the bonfires lit by merchants and travelers not far away. All the flames spontaneously rushed in the same direction... It was the tent where Liu Mengying was!

Ye Fan took a step forward, and his figure almost arrived at the tent where Liu Mengying was at the same time as the flames of the bonfire. He had just opened the tent curtain and was about to wake Liu Mengying up, but suddenly stopped because he found that the flames that were coming over stopped strangely when they were still some distance away from the tent...

What surprised Ye Fan even more was that Liu Mengying, who was sleeping soundly in the tent, had a layer of colorful light floating all over her body... The colorful light was floating and looked like a dancing flame...

Ye Fan vaguely felt an extremely powerful force from the colorful rays of light on Liu Mengying's body...

"The flames of the bonfire...were they attracted by the bean sprouts...the colorful rays of light...the fact that the bean sprouts could easily control the fire attribute energy before was probably related to this..."

"That guy named Shi Fu from Mingyuan Academy... According to what Cheng Gu and Wen Zheng said, if he had ulterior motives in accepting Xiao Douya as his personal disciple, could it be related to this colorful glow... Cheng Gu was talking about an invaluable bloodline..."

"Xiao Douya mentioned before that she dreamed of a giant bird burning with fire when she was sleeping... Is she dreaming about it now...?"

Looking at Liu Mengying sleeping soundly in the tent, a bunch of thoughts flashed through Ye Feng's mind.

At this time, Li Shuhong and the business travelers finally came back to their senses from their shock. They all looked at Ye Fan with questioning and slightly frightened eyes.

"Oh, it's okay, Xiaodouya is practicing Xuanqi~"

Ye Fan smiled at Li Shuhong and the others and consoled them.

Hearing this, the businessmen all breathed a sigh of relief, but they all moved away from the campfire...

...........

the next day,

"Little Bean Sprout, did you dream about the big bird on fire again last night?"

Ye Fan asked Liu Mengying while eating breakfast.

"Oh, yes. I stared at it for a long time... Its feathers are colorful and cute. I even reached out and touched it!"

Liu Mengying drank the peanut soup and asked, "Big brother, how did you know?"

"Oh, last night, the campfire in the camp..."
