Shangguan Lin's Beautiful Eyes glanced weakly out of the window and asked hesitantly, "Master… where shall we go afterward? If we are to travel together to your sect, then I…"
The sudden change of address made it somewhat difficult for her to adjust...
Xu Sheng praised her, "Not bad, not bad. I haven't even mentioned it, yet you already know to act together! Commendable. However, the sect we are going to is precisely your sect, the Evil Spirit Sect!"
Such a demon cultivator sect would surely have many strong individuals, perhaps capable of lifting even higher layers of my seals!
Shangguan Lin was taken aback and exclaimed in astonishment, "Go to the Evil Spirit Sect?
This man isn't insane, is he? Someone like him, if he went to the Evil Spirit Sect, would probably be torn to shreds by the disciples before even entering!
Even with her Cultivation Level at the Divinity Transformation Stage, she was considered no more than a mid-level disciple within the Evil Spirit Sect!
And among the Evil Spirit Sect's elders, there were not a few at the Body Integration Realm, with the Sect Master having achieved the Mahayana Realm that could shatter heavens and ruin the earth!
After hesitating for a while, Shangguan Lin suggested, "You might as well give up on that idea. A decent disciple like you wouldn't be able to get in!"
It didn't matter to her whether he lived or died; she was mainly worried about getting herself into trouble.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng's dark eyes hardened, and from the Storage Cosmos Bag, he produced a pitch-black robe, "What about now?"
Shangguan Lin found herself speechless at the sight of the robe he had taken out...
After speaking, Xu Sheng began to change his clothes without any regard for others...
In the concealment of the night, Shangguan Lin beside him shouldn't have seen much...
However, she had guessed wrong; the reason Shangguan Lin's eyes emitted a bewitching light was precisely because she had cultivated a certain Pupil Skill!!
Meaning, every inch of Xu Sheng's body was exposed to Shangguan Lin's vision...
After having sneakily cast a glance, she quickly turned her head to the side, her cheeks flaming red under the cover of night...
Recalling what she had just seen, she swallowed hard and thought to herself, "Was that just now a... an elephant???"
Xu Sheng, having changed his clothes, spoke indifferently, "What are you thinking about! Let's set off quickly once daylight breaks!"
Shangguan Lin suppressed her emotions and responded, "Mhm!"
...
The next day, dawn arrived just like that...
Xu Sheng, now cloaked in a black robe brimming with an air of coldness, woke Shangguan Lin and together they made their way down to the first floor...
The woman at the counter, who was clearly just woken up, rubbed her eyes in disbelief as she saw Xu Sheng and Shangguan Lin approach and exclaimed, "Guest, you... you actually survived?"
Does that mean the female demon cultivator did not make a move last night?
That shouldn't be!
Moreover, when did the female guest beside this customer go up? How come she didn't notice her?
Xu Sheng replied nonchalantly, "I didn't die. Is there anything surprising about that?"
The woman quickly came to her senses and apologized, "Sorry, guest. I misspoke just now…"
Without waiting for her to say more, Xu Sheng decisively placed three Spirit Stones on the counter and said calmly, "These are three Spirit Stones for last night's room charge!"
He then left with Shangguan Lin by his side...
Watching Xu Sheng's retreating figure, the woman was uncertain whether or not to chase after them...
Because staying at this guesthouse cost five Spirit Stones per night...
The guest's payment was not enough...
After shaking her head, she dismissed the thought...
...
Elsewhere, Xu Sheng and Shangguan Lin had already arrived outside the small town...
He asked the Shangguan beside him, "Shangguan, how far is the Evil Spirit from here?"
Shangguan Lin, being addressed so formally, replied with clear annoyance, "If we rush by horse-drawn carriage non-stop, it should only take two days. If we fly on sword relying on Spiritual Power and including recovery time, it should take about half a day…"
Little did she know, the reason Xu Sheng called her "Shangguan" was because he thought of a pun...
Kylin, riding Lin...
Xu Sheng pondered, "Hmm, half a day? That's not too far..."
However, if he exhausted his spiritual power on the way, it wouldn't be a good thing!
Not to mention, they were headed to the Evil Spirit Sect, where demon cultivators were rife!
Shangguan Lin pressed, "Master, are we going to take a carriage or fly with swords? I think flying with swords is better!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng immediately cracked her on the head and said irritably, "Idiot, of course, we'll ride the snake! Or do you want to be killed by those demon cultivators after running out of spiritual power?"
Feeling her head buzzing, Shangguan Lin was speechless, "..."
That's exactly what she was thinking! If Xu Sheng were taken out by other demon cultivators, she could free herself from his control!
At that moment, Xu Sheng cast his Beast Taming Technique, and fierce flames burst into existence from nowhere. A Flame Serpent of several dozen meters appeared suddenly...
Seeing this, Shangguan Lin widened her beautiful eyes and exclaimed, "Fake... that's fake, right??"
This Python Snake was several dozen meters in size! It probably had a cultivation level of the Divinity Transformation Stage, just like her!!
For this man to have a mount with the cultivation of the Divinity Transformation Stage was simply terrifying!
The Flame Serpent's dark green vertical pupils shifted, and then it obediently stuck out its tongue, "Hiss, hiss~~"
Once Xu Sheng had climbed onto its back, he looked at the still dazed Shangguan Lin, "Hurry up, don't waste time!"
"Oh, oh!" Shangguan Lin, coming back to her senses, nodded and carefully jumped onto its back, terrified that it might suddenly open its mouth and tear her apart with its fangs!
Once she settled in securely, her heart finally relaxed...
After giving her a look, Xu Sheng patted the Flame Serpent below him and commanded, "Let's go!"
"Hiss, hiss~~" After sticking out its tongue a few more times to acknowledge, the Flame Serpent's tail shuddered, and in the next moment, it burst out at a terrifying speed...
Slicing through the air with resounding whooshes, the raging wind whipped up Xu Sheng and Shangguan Lin's hair...
Sitting behind Xu Sheng, Shangguan Lin's charming eyes revealed a tinge of complex emotions...
She pondered secretly, "This man, he doesn't seem that hateful after all! At least after taking control of my life and death, he hasn't done anything that crosses the line!"
Realizing something was off, Shangguan Lin shook her head vigorously, casting aside her previous thoughts...
She gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "That's wrong, that's wrong, if it weren't for his deception, how could I have become his slave so easily!"
If she found an opportunity, she would definitely find a way to humiliate him thoroughly before turning him into a dried-out corpse!
Exactly! That's the plan!
Noticing the silence behind him, Xu Sheng spoke softly without turning, "How does it feel?"
Turning her head sideways, Shangguan Lin responded rather haughtily, "It's just so-so, not as good as my sword flying..."
Below them, the Flame Serpent seemed to feel scorned. Its pupils contracted and it accelerated once again, shooting forward like a blur...
As the scenery around her started to blur incomprehensibly, Shangguan Lin, feeling somewhat unsteady, leaned back...
"Ahhh!!!"
Just as she was about to be thrown off, she decisively wrapped her arms around Xu Sheng's waist...
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, but upon realizing she was holding Xu Sheng tightly...
She paused...
"Eh?"
She exclaimed loudly, "Eh?!!"
