“Miss… congratulations on breaking through to Foundation Building.”
Dong Yuner looked at the glowing Lin Huanhuan. She could feel that Lin Huanhuan gave off a different vibe from the inside out. For no reason, she suddenly felt a sense of inferiority.
‘Am I jealous? Jealous of Miss… how can I be like this? It must be because I didn’t sleep well last night. I need to get a good night’s sleep tonight.’
‘But it still feels so strange in my heart…’
Dong Yuner thought gloomily. She had currently collected three types of natural treasures. Adding her Sword Peak Spirit Vein made it four types, leaving her six short of a Heavenly Dao Foundation Building. Originally, she had planned to spend more time pushing for a Heavenly Dao Foundation Building, but now that she thought about it, she decided to break through early.
“What strange things are you thinking about again?”
Lin Huanhuan looked at Dong Yuner, who was keeping her head down and remaining silent. She immediately realized that this yandere maid must be secretly feeling sad again. Although she didn’t know why, she decided to comfort her first.
‘I don’t know what other yanderes are like, but based on my understanding of my Yuner, her heart is actually quite fragile. She probably treats me as her only support, which is why she unknowingly became a yandere. I have to be careful not to let this situation deepen.’
Lin Huanhuan raised her hand and rubbed Dong Yuner’s head. Dong Yuner’s body trembled slightly as she softly called out, “Miss…”
Lin Huanhuan smiled and spoke of the plan she had prepared long ago. “We’ll rest for a while, and tomorrow I’ll take you to the Monster Beast Mountain Range to collect natural treasures. It shouldn’t take too long.”
“My current strength will definitely give you a huge surprise.”
Lin Huanhuan raised her head with some pride. Dong Yuner, who had been narrowing her eyes while enjoying the pat, suddenly looked up. Her eyes became moist with emotion.
“Miss, there is absolutely no need for this. Doing such meaningless things will delay your cultivation. After breaking through to Foundation Building, you should focus on your cultivation so that you have hope of stepping into the Golden Core stage in your lifetime.”
After being moved, Dong Yuner put on a mature act and gave Lin Huanhuan an annoying lecture. Compared to her own matters, she wanted even less to delay Lin Huanhuan.
“What nonsense are you talking about? How could such a small thing delay my cultivation?”
“It’s just taking you to collect some natural treasures. How much time could that take? Besides, you’re my person, and your increase in strength is good for me too. You won’t betray me, right?”
Dong Yuner hurriedly explained, “Of course I won’t betray Miss. Even if I die, I will absolutely never betray you…”
“Then that’s that.”
“And after being in seclusion for so long, I finally broke through to the Foundation Building stage. I’m actually feeling a bit bored and restless.”
“Accompanying you to the Monster Beast Mountain Range to collect materials this time is the perfect chance to bully some Qi Condensation stage monster beasts. Let those beasts experience the power of the Foundation Building stage. They only need to pay with a body full of materials as compensation. Isn’t that perfect?”
“Miss…” Dong Yuner opened her mouth but was left speechless. She really couldn’t find any reason to refuse.
‘Miss has already put it this way. If I continue to refuse, it would be too tactless…’
‘Honestly, my love for Miss has increased even more; it’s already overflowing. I wonder when I can let Miss feel this fire-like temperature and tide-like ferocity. It will surely be very blissful when that time comes.’
Dong Yuner thought expectantly, unable to help but press her legs together. She couldn’t lose her composure at a time like this.
“Alright, then we’ll set off tomorrow. You should also prepare well tonight. Although I’ve reached the Foundation Building stage, we still need to be cautious. To avoid failing in an easy task, we can’t be missing any supplies.”
“Understood, Miss. I will prepare well. Just leave it to me.”
Early the next morning, the two prepared women rode the wind and headed straight for the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
After breaking through to the Foundation Building stage, one no longer needed to ride a dharma tool to fly. Not only could they walk on air while ignoring gravity, but they could also choose to ride the wind. Their speed far exceeded that of Qi Condensation stage dharma tools. It could even be said that they came and went without a trace, and carrying someone along was not very difficult.
After arriving at the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the two stopped and chose to walk. Lin Huanhuan then conducted a series of educational sessions for the monster beasts in the outer area, teaching them not to make noise randomly. What surprised them slightly was that, for some reason, there seemed to be fewer monster beasts in the outer area, as if they had been specifically cleared out by someone.
On the third day, they encountered Bai Lingfeng and Ye Jinxi. Lin Huanhuan finally understood what was going on.
“Oh, I didn’t expect to run into you guys. Your luck doesn’t seem very good.”
Lin Huanhuan and Dong Yuner stood above the clouds, looking down at the somewhat lethargic Bai Lingfeng and Ye Jinxi, who were covered in bloodstains. Their expressions were full of playfulness.
“Yeah, what a coincidence. Are you guys here to look for treasures too? Do you want to travel together?”
Bai Lingfeng looked pleasantly surprised and issued an invitation again.
A flash of hesitation crossed Lin Huanhuan’s eyes before she shook her head vigorously and said, “No, no. I’ve already broken through to Foundation Building and don’t need treasures of this level anymore. This time, I’m mainly here to help Yuner collect some. We have things to do, so we’ll be going now. Let’s talk next time.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Huanhuan and Dong Yuner hurried away on the wind. Their determined appearance made it look as if they had resisted some great temptation before leaving.
Bai Lingfeng sighed regretfully to himself, ‘It looks like Huanhuan really did want to explore with me, she just didn’t have time this time. I’ll find a better opportunity to invite her next time, and she probably won’t refuse.’
Ye Jinxi looked at their departing figures with a complicated gaze, thinking to herself, ‘I didn’t expect Huanhuan to break through so quickly. She even specifically brought Dong Yuner to collect treasures, and they’re even riding the wind together… It seems their relationship is indeed closer than I imagined.’
‘Could there be some illicit affair between them? No, impossible. If there were, Dong Yuner’s attitude toward me wouldn’t be so angry. However, the situation is indeed more serious than I thought.’
‘…I must break through to the Foundation Building stage as soon as possible. Only with greater strength can I gain more initiative in the future and avoid being pushed around.’
The two of them, each with their own thoughts, then looked up at the same time. Bai Lingfeng said with a smile, “Foundation Building stage Monster Kings only live in the core area. Let’s go in a bit further. Although it’s more dangerous, the growth of natural treasures is also denser, providing more opportunities.”
“I was thinking the same thing. Let’s go.”
The two of them hit it off and quickened their pace.
