After traveling through time, I stole all over the three realms
Chapter 70: Out of the Misty Forest (Revised)
Two figures quickly shuttled between the tall trees in the misty forest.
At this moment, the sky was gradually getting dark. Shen Mian was inevitably a little tired from carrying Yan Liang on her back all the way, but she still carried him steadily and walked steadily step by step on the overgrown path.
Previously, Yan Liang faced the demons head-on. Shen Mian saw that he looked relaxed and thought that nothing was wrong. However, when he came back for a check-up, he found that his internal organs were severely injured, he had multiple fractures, and some old injuries that Shen Mian couldn't even see.
Thinking that this guy didn't say a word after waking up, Shen Mian could only secretly admire how patient he was.
So in order to save time when they were traveling during the day, Shen Mian refused to let him walk alone and offered to carry him on his back.
Yan Liang gladly accepted it without any refusal.
They were already at the outskirts of the misty forest. Yan Liang released the pressure of the spirit general, and no blind monsters bumped into them along the way.
There was a cool breeze and the moon was high in the sky, illuminating the way ahead with cold light. The cold air seeped in through the sleeves of his clothes. Just as Shen Mian felt cold, he realized that the person on his back had moved closer, and his warm breath fell on his neck.
She subconsciously shrank back.
Yan Liang's slightly hoarse voice sounded in his ears: "Don't move, let me lean on you for a while."
Shen Mian was startled: "Why is your voice like this? You don't have a fever, do you?"
The person behind him didn't say anything. After a while, a head came over and touched Shen Mian's face with his hot forehead.
Shen Mian: "It's so hot! You won't be burned to death, will you? I'll stop and you take the medicine."
Yan Liang: "It's nothing serious. I have too many wounds and some of them are inflamed. I've already taken some medicine. Just let me rest for a while."
As he spoke, he leaned his head on Shen Mian's shoulder and released all the strength from his body.
Shen Mian teased: "Young Master Yan is not in good health. He is so sick now. Is he weak?"
Yan Liang "kindly" reminded: "The night Miss Shen encountered the saber-toothed tiger, she had a high fever all night, and it was Yan who took care of Miss Shen."
Shen Mian coughed twice: "If you are not feeling well, talk less."
Sensing Yan Liang's weakness, Shen Mian asked again: "Where does it hurt?"
Yan Liang: "My whole body aches."
Shen Mian: "Humph, yesterday when I asked you where it hurt, didn't you say it was fine? Now you're not trying to be brave anymore?"
Yan Liang sighed softly: "Miss Shen, I'm already like this, please say less."
Shen Mian smiled and said, "Who told you to be so stubborn?"
The night was dim, and the moonlight shone on the bluestone slabs above the stream, reflecting two peaceful figures on the surface of the stream.
The girl carried the boy on her back as they walked through the dangerous forest, but at this moment, under the moonlight, they showed a moment of peace and tranquility.
Shen Mian suddenly said: "If you die, I won't join the God Killing Clan."
Yan Liang: "So I am so important to Miss Shen?"
Shen Mian: "You are the fortune tree and treasure pot of our team. Without you, we will lose our capital chain. Why would I go there?"
Yan Liang: "So it's because of money."
Shen Mian nodded: "Yes, don't say I'm greedy, I'm a pragmatic person."
Yan Liang chuckled: "Fortunately, I still have this advantage that can attract Miss Shen."
Shen Mian nodded vigorously: "This is a great advantage!"
The moonlight is hidden by clouds, and the road ahead becomes darker.
It is not easy to walk in the Misty Forest at night. In addition to being on guard against magical beasts that may appear from nowhere, you also have to be careful not to get your skin scratched by an unknown poisonous weed on the side of the road.
Shen Mian had no choice but to slow down.
"We'll probably find a cave to rest in a while, so don't fall asleep yet."
Yan Liang: "Okay... How long did it take you to cultivate to the fifth level of spiritual master?"
Shen Mian: "Hmm... about two months? I can't quite remember."
Yan Liang: "Ms. Shen is truly a genius."
Shen Mian: "What about you? How long did it take you to cultivate to my level?"
Yan Liang: "I can't remember clearly. I practiced very quickly at first, but then something happened and I had to start practicing again."
Shen Mian tactfully did not ask any more questions about this incident.
Unexpectedly, Yan Liang was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Before in Qixia Mountain, I was controlled by an illusion. Did I hurt you?"
Shen Mian said indifferently: "I dodged quickly, and they are just superficial injuries. They have almost healed."
"But I didn't expect you to be stuck in that illusion for so long."
Yan Liang asked: "Didn't you fall into that illusion?"
Shen Mian said as a matter of course: "Of course it happened! It wove a beautiful dream for me, but it looks fake."
She didn't ask for anything in her previous life. She wanted to leave the organization and eventually left. She wanted to resist but died together with those in the organization. By chance, she came to this world to live another life. No matter how you look at it, it was not a loss and she had no regrets.
Her only two wishes in this life are to avenge Shen Simian and to become stronger.
The illusion would change, allowing her to return to her childhood in her previous life.
In the fantasy, she was not abandoned at a young age, but was picked up into the organization. She had parents who loved her, a healthy and happy childhood, good friends, and even a happy and fulfilling life.
Everything in the fantasy world seemed so real, even every object in that happy home seemed to exist in reality.
But it was precisely because the happiness was so real that it seemed too fake to her.
Because she knew that all this was not something she could get. Happiness and carefreeness were words she had never experienced before.
What's fake is fake.
Therefore, no matter how comfortable she felt in the illusion, she could pick up the sword and kill everything without hesitation.
Then she came out of the illusion and saw Yan Liang who was still trapped in the illusion.
Yan Liang suddenly said: "In my illusion, I saw something that happened seven years ago."
"Seven years ago?" This sensitive time point reminded Shen Mian of what happened in the Shen family's forbidden area.
"Seven years ago, my home was destroyed, my relatives and friends were separated, and I finally escaped because of someone else's occupation." Yan Liang said calmly, as if he was not talking about a major event that was a turning point in his life, but a trivial matter.
"We escaped, but my master and his wife stayed behind to fight the enemy, but I have lost any news of them since then."
"In the illusion, I went back to that night and saw them, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't save them."
He said, and suddenly smiled: "But then I realized that they didn't need me to save them. It was a pity for me that I couldn't stay there, but it was a blessing for them."
"Instead of dwelling on the past and regretting why I didn't stay to help, I should do what I should do, such as... finding the right person."
Shen Mian listened quietly, then said: "Since they are your master and mistress, they must be very powerful."
Yan Liang's eyes were filled with pride: "They are the best."
"That's it. Expand your auction house and expand the God Slayer business. Sooner or later, you will be able to meet them."
Yan Liang tilted his head and saw Shen Mian's confident smile. His flying hair gently brushed across his cheek, causing an itch.
"Miss Shen." He stared at Shen Mian's profile and suddenly asked, "Has anyone told you that you are beautiful?"
Shen Mian has now removed his disguise and changed back to his original face. His plain face should have been hidden in the darkness, but his eyes were so bright that they could not be ignored.
"This face? No."
Yan Liang smiled: "Then I will be the first one."
Shen Mian rolled his eyes: "You're not going to talk about inner beauty, are you?"
Yan Liang shook his head, as if his eyes were filled with stars and reflected Shen Mian's face. His sparse eyebrows and eyes were indescribably serious at this moment: "I just feel that when you speak, practice, and do things, no matter your eyebrows or expressions, they are all dazzling."
Upon hearing these serious words, Shen Mian paused for a moment, then walked forward as usual, laughing as he walked: "That's natural, after all, excellent people are attracted to each other!"
……
The two found a cave to spend the night in. They continued their journey the next day and arrived at Mouding City, which was closest to the Misty Forest, at night.
After entering the city, Yan Liang found a good inn and asked for two upper rooms. They were all injured and were not in a hurry to travel. Shen Mian took this opportunity to enter the space to refine the elixir.
As soon as she entered the space, she was surprised to find that the space had become much larger. The medicinal herbs that she had asked Mu Yan to plant were planted neatly in one piece of land, but some of the herbs had conflicting properties and could not be planted together, so they were already a little wilted. Shen Mian hurriedly placed them in different areas, and then continued to observe the space.
"Master..." Wuji ran out of the house and threw himself into Shen Mian's arms, "Master, can you please not keep me in the space all the time and let me go out and play."
Shen Mian held it and smoothed its fur: "Wait until I refine the elixir, and I will take you with me when I go out in the future."
"Where's Mu Yan?"
Wuji pointed to the giant tree and said, "The annoying guy is there."
Shen Mian felt somewhat helpless when she heard the name. She walked over and saw Mu Yan sitting cross-legged in meditation under a giant tree with his eyes closed, as if he had just entered a state of meditation, but also as if he would wake up soon.
Shen Mian knew that he would be sleeping for a long time.
She walked into the original wooden house and was surprised to find another room behind it. She walked in and saw a shelf full of magical instruments!
Those weapons were at least Xuan-level weapons, and she even saw a few low-level magical weapons!
It seems that there will be more trump cards in future fights!
Shen Mian walked around excitedly for several times. There was a corresponding introduction to each magic weapon. There were not only bows and swords, but also some magic weapons for defense or bonus. Shen Mian picked out a few and took them out so that she could find them in time when fighting.
After arranging everything, she concentrated on refining the elixir in the space. Sometimes she would refine it for the whole day and even forget to eat.
However, she gained more from simply devoting herself to alchemy. Not only did she successfully refine fourth-grade top-grade pills, she could also barely refine fifth-grade pills.
At the same time, she felt that her cultivation speed had slowed down a lot. Although the spiritual energy was accumulating in her body, she was unable to make any further progress. It seemed that she had to detoxify as soon as possible.
Yan Liang obviously has a lot of things to do these days. As the young master of the auction house, he is not a freeloader.
So after a while, there was finally a knock on Shen Mian's room. She opened the door with dark circles under her eyes and saw Yan Liang, who also had dark circles under his eyes.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but you haven't left your room for more than 20 days. As a friend, I feel I need to be concerned about your mental state."
Although Shen Mian looked tired, her breakthrough in alchemy made her feel energetic: "Are you done with your work?"
But she knew that Yan Liang rarely went out.
Yan Liang nodded: "The auction house matter has been almost dealt with. Miss Xu sent a message that she will arrive in Qingyang City in a few days. I think we have to rush back as soon as possible."
Shen Mian leaned against the door and stretched: "Okay, my elixir is ready, we can set off tomorrow, let me get some good sleep tonight."
Yan Liang invited: "Would you like to go out for lunch together? There are many people from all walks of life in Mouding City, and there are many different kinds of food."
How could Shen Mian, who had been working hard for more than 20 days in a row, give up this opportunity? He immediately hit it off with Yan Liang and went shopping.
She was used to going out alone, and she didn't expect Yan Liang to go out without any servants. Come to think of it, when she saw him before, he was either alone or with Luo Xu and the other two, and she never saw him need anyone to serve him.
"The Shangshifang on East Street has a good reputation for Zuijiangyue, but the taste is a bit spicy. The flower cakes sold by the second shop on the street are very popular, and there is also the donkey rolls from Aunt Liu at the end of the street..."
Along the way, Yan Liang talked endlessly to her about the delicious food in various places, and it was obvious that he had done his homework in advance.
Shen Mian suddenly became interested, all his tiredness was gone, and he took Yan Liang all the way from the beginning of the street to the end. Whenever he saw something that looked good, he wanted to try it, so they would buy a little and share it between them.
"I broke it with my hands. It's very clean and delicious. Trust me!" Shen Mian handed Yan Liang half a piece of flower cake with a sincere look in his eyes.
Although the flower cake was delicious, she wanted to leave some room for other delicacies, and was trying to persuade Yan Liang to share a piece with her.
The secret guards in the dark almost popped their eyes out. Although this young man was indeed the young master's friend, everyone knew that the young master had mysophobia!
What shocked them even more was that Yan Liang reached out and took it!
Not only did he accept it, Yan Liang also took a bite without hesitation: "It's really good."
After being recognized, Shen Mian nodded with satisfaction, packed a few copies and put them in the space, then took Yan Liang to the next stall.
