It had to be said that after following Yan Yue, Morin's combat power had greatly improved. Although he was at a disadvantage after persisting for so long, it was not enough to kill him. When the man saw that the other man was killed by Yan Yue, he was distracted for a moment and allowed Morin to take advantage of him. He was hit by Morin's palm from behind.
At this time, he was retreating while dealing with Morin. He just wanted to get away from these two people as soon as possible. Otherwise, his fate would be the same as Brother Diao. He was full of regret. If he had known this would happen, he would not have taken advantage of this opportunity.
There was a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes. He would remember these two people. If he could escape today, he would definitely tear these two people into pieces in the future.
Yan Yue tilted her head slightly and calmly looked at the fighting figure that was getting farther and farther away from her. With a wave of her hand, the scimitar was held in Yan Yue's hand.
The man secretly transferred all his spiritual power to the scimitar. While Morin was pushed back by his attack, he suddenly raised the scimitar and swung it. Morin hurriedly retreated, and the man took this opportunity to turn and run. As soon as he turned, he felt as if a shadow had rushed past him, but he did not have time to think too much. He quickly ran away, but after running for a dozen steps, the man stopped. He watched as his upper body slid to the ground, but his legs were still standing. Cut in half at the waist. This was the last word that flashed through his mind before the man breathed his last.
A gust of wind blew, and the legs that had lost his upper body fell to the ground with a bang.
A burst of fire rose and turned into ashes.
Yan Yue was standing in front of Morin at this time. She touched the scimitar and murmured, "Still not fast enough. I'll just have to make do …"
Looking down at Morin, who was injured by the man's last attack and could not get up, Yan Yue bent down and stopped the bleeding from Morin's wound. Then, she performed a Lesser Rejuvenation Spell, and the originally hideous wound instantly healed a lot.
Morin looked at Yan Yue and said gratefully with tears in his eyes, "Thank … Thank you, Master."
A look of irritation flashed across Yan Yue's eyes as she said, "I never save useless trash. If you no longer have any value, I will be the first to kill you." After saying this, she did not care about Morin's expression as she turned around and returned to the white lion to recuperate.
Shock and hurt flashed across Morin's eyes, but in the end, they turned into determination. My lord, I will not disappoint you.
After recuperating for nearly four hours, it was already dusk.
Yan Yue stood up and something fell from her body. Yan Yue picked it up and looked. It turned out to be that man's storage bag. She was going to give it to Morin, but she forgot about it at that time.
After erasing the original owner's spiritual imprint, Yan Yue threw it to Morin.
After Morin recognized it as his master, he poured out the contents of the storage bag. Seeing the things inside, Morin's eyes lit up.
There were a few thousand low grade spirit stones and more than 30 middle grade spirit stones. Just these two points were enough for Morin to be happy for a long time.
Thinking about how he and His Lord had accepted the mission for more than two months, he had only obtained three middle grade spirit stones and a few thousand low grade spirit stones. How could it be as fast as this!
No wonder His Lord said that accepting missions to earn spirit stones was too slow. Yes, yes, it was indeed too slow. As long as he followed His Lord, the spirit stones would come quickly, haha!
He felt that he was a little complacent and a little addicted to robbery.
Holding the more than 30 middle grade spirit stones in front of Yan Yue, he said with some excitement and some reluctance, "My Lord, these are the spirit stones in the storage bag. You can keep them."
"No need." Yan Yue did not take it. She was not in a hurry now. She had already extorted 50 Middle Grade Spirit Stones from Qin Se. In addition to the Spirit Stones she already had, 100 Middle Grade Spirit Stones were enough.
"Then, then I will keep it for His Lord." Morin carefully put the spirit stones into the storage bag. He burned the useless clothes and daily necessities of the two men. In the end, there were only a few jade bottles left on the ground.
Morin himself was also an alchemist, so he only opened the bottle cap and smelled it. He probably guessed what kind of medicinal pills were inside.
Morin could name most of the medicinal pills below the four extremes. Although he did not know how to refine some, he could recognize them.
He opened the last bottle and smelled it. Just as he was about to plug it, he suddenly stopped and said with a trembling voice, "My Lord, My Lord, Face … Face Preserving Pill, Face Preserving Pill!"
Yan Yue looked over and said, "Face Preserving Pill?"
Morin nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, although it is a ten year face preserving pill, it is also a rare medicinal pill. Moreover, there are two of them."
Yan Yue took one pill and held it in her hand. She put it under her nose and smelled it. The fragrance of the pill assailed her nose, and the fragrance overflowed. Just smelling it made people feel refreshed, and they felt a few years younger.
Yan Yue lowered her head and looked at herself. She was a little more than 1.6 meters tall. In this world, this height was considered short. But for Yan Yue's age of 15, this kind of height was really tall.
Her chest had just started to develop. It was flat and could not be seen at all. That little rise and fall could only be seen by others as chest muscles.
If another two years passed, she would definitely not be able to continue dressing as a man. After all, it was somewhat inconvenient for a woman to walk alone in this world.
Her heart was slightly bitter, and she sneered.
No longer hesitating, Yan Yue took a Face Preserving Pill, and a sweet taste filled her mouth.
Henceforth, for the next ten years, Yan Yue would look like she was 15 or 16 years old.
There was still one Face Preserving Pill left. Morin did not use it. He planned to wait until he was 20 years old and had yet to build his foundation before taking this Face Preserving Pill. As a man, he did not want to maintain his current appearance of a 17 or 18 year old.
After a simple tidying up, the master and servant pair rode White Lion and set off forward again.
— —
After traveling for an hour, the two people had no choice but to stop and find a place to rest.
The sky was already dark, and the mountains at night were very dangerous.
After settling White Lion down, the two people each jumped onto a big tree to rest.
Yan Yue leaned against a huge tree trunk. Her hands were behind her head, and her legs were crossed. From time to time, she would sway left and right, looking very peaceful.
The moon in the sky was very round. As the night approached, it became brighter and brighter. That soft white light was not dazzling at all.
People often said that seeing an object made one think of a person. Seeing the moon was very reasonable.
At least when looking at the full moon, Yan Yue would always think of her family in the distant other world.
Sometimes, she would often wonder if all of this was a dream, or if the twenty years she had lived there was a dream. She always felt that she could not tell the difference. Perhaps, she just subconsciously did not want to figure it out.
The memories of her experience were still there, but her appearance was somewhat blurred. Her feelings did not decrease in the slightest. The more she thought about it, the deeper she hid it.
Not under the same sky, not under the same moonlight. Sometimes, when she thought about it, she could not help but feel sad.
The moon sent yearning, the water sent love, but how could the flowing water pass through thousands of rivers and mountains to another world?
I could feel the tears in my eyes, but I did not want to hide them. At least when I was alone, I did not want to hide my sadness.
Actually, many people were the same. When you were really sad, you would only cry to yourself.
To the current me, a world without family was the same everywhere.
Retracting her hand that was reaching for the moon, Yan Yue clenched her fists tightly and slowly released them. There was nothing.
She slowly closed her eyes, as if closing the floodgates of her memories. Some memories would never be forgotten, but she did not dare to think about them.
When she opened her eyes again, all her emotions had disappeared. She was still a cold figure, and her eyes were still calm. Her pitch-black eyes did not have any light, but it was as if all the light was hidden in the depths of these pitch-black eyes. They were clearly still, but if one wanted to look carefully, they were like a deep vortex, a bottomless black hole, causing people to sink deeply into these eyes.
Yan Yue blinked slightly and sat up slightly, listening to the movements in the distance.
Just now, there seemed to be a very small sound coming from the distance.
Looking at Morin who was meditating with his eyes closed, Yan Yue did not call out to him. She lightly went down the tree, planning to go in the direction of the sound by herself to take a look.
Yan Yue's movements were very light as she approached that direction. When she could vaguely see a black shadow, Yan Yue stopped.
At this time, she was still a few thousand meters away from the black shadow, but Yan Yue did not dare to be negligent. If she relaxed even a little, she might lose her life.
She slowly poured her spiritual power into her eyes, and the scene in her eyes gradually became clear.
But because it was so far away, she could only vaguely see that it was a relatively large Demonic Beast. In order to see it more clearly, Yan Yue held her breath and quietly approached that direction by a few hundred meters.
That Demonic Beast's head turned towards the direction Yan Yue was standing. Yan Yue immediately stopped, not daring to move an inch. She still held her breath, as if what was standing there was a tree and not a person.
That Demonic Beast saw that there was no movement here, so it turned its head back.
It clawed at the ground, grabbing something and stuffing it into its mouth.
"Roar!" An angry roar came from behind that Demonic Beast. She could vaguely see that there was a long horn on that Demonic Beast's head. It quickly ran towards that Demonic Beast from before.
The Demonic Beast that was originally eating something had a human-like body. It was standing on its two legs. Originally, when it bent down to grab the ground, Yan Yue thought that it was a four-legged animal, but it turned out to be a two-legged one.
She only saw its round and thick palm fiercely slap that Demonic Beast that was running towards it. That Demonic Beast retreated a few steps, but its mouth still roared angrily.
That human-like Demonic Beast took a few steps forward and roared towards the sky.
Yan Yue was a little stunned. This sound was very similar to the sound of a bear on Earth. Yan Yue couldn't understand why such a similar thing would be born in a different world. But when she thought that the people here and the people on Earth also had the same appearance, Yan Yue didn't think too much about it.
As the two Demonic Beasts fought, the waves of residual energy spread out. Yan Yue could feel it even though she was so far away. Originally, she was afraid that the Demonic Beast would discover her. Yan Yue was already having a hard time holding her breath and concentrating her spirit. Now that the residual energy came, it was one disaster after another.
She hurriedly closed her eyes and didn't pay attention to the situation on that side. She focused all of her spirit power to stabilize her body and silently said in her heart: I am a tree, I am a tree!
