Chapter 352 - Are You Planning To Rob Us? (6)
“You’re calling me a lass? Don’t tell me you’re an undying old man?” Leng Ruoxue guessed, her watery eyes looking back and forth on Lan Ming’s body.
“…”
“I’m not that old, okay?” Lan Ming was speechless. Although he was a little bit older, he was still far from becoming an old man. The president of the Mystic Association Headquarters was the real undying old man!
“I think you must be more than eighty years old, right?” Leng Ruoxue murmured with a frown.
“Damn lass, I’m not that old.” Lan Ming fell to the ground with a plop after hearing what Leng Ruoxue said. After getting up, he glared at Leng Ruoxue with all his might. Boohoo… I’m only in my thirties, and I’m definitely considered a peerless young man in this world. But in Leng Ruoxue’s mouth, I actually became an old man in his eighties. Boohoo… What’s with this girl’s eyes? Do I look that old?
“Oh, then you must be at least fifty,” Leng Ruoxue continued guessing.
“Stop. Stop guessing. I’m scared of you. I’m only thirty-five this year,” Lan Ming said gloomily while looking at Leng Qingtian and the others, who were secretly laughing. He was now very sure that this girl absolutely did it on purpose. Boohoo… deliberately bullying me!
“I’m sorry! I really can’t tell,” Leng Ruoxue said shyly, but she was laughing in her heart. Haha, Lan Ming is quite interesting.
“Then you know now, right?” Lan Ming asked through gritted teeth.
“Okay, okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded obediently and stopped teasing him.
Lan Ming glared at Leng Ruoxue, then closed his eyes and began cultivating…
Time passed, and three hours went by quickly. But there was still no movement from the people in the small room.
Four hours…
Five hours… Still nothing happened.
Only after six hours did the first stream of heaven and earth laws begin to descend. Immediately after, two more streams descended one after another…
An hour later, the three old men completed the conversion of their spiritual power and officially became mystics.
“Not bad. Consolidate your foundation on the way. You can also participate in the competition.” Lan Ming’s handsome face was full of satisfaction as he watched the three people walk out of the small room.
“Hehe, I’m a mystic too,” Old Zao said with a silly smile.
“Yes, you are all mystics now. This is your identity card. Drip a drop of blood on it for it to recognize you as its master!” Lan Ming reminded.
After the three of them completed the last procedures to become mystics, Leng Ruoxue stood up and led everyone to leave.
After returning to the residence, Leng Ruoxue sent the three old men into the bracelet while she discussed the competition with her grandfather and the others…
On the day of departure, Lan Ming arrived at Leng Ruoxue and the others’ residence early in the morning.
“President Lan, you’re so early!” Leng Ruoxue, who was still not fully awake, said with some displeasure in the living room.
“It’s getting late. Why did you get up so late?” Lan Ming was a little speechless. How could these people sleep so well!
“I was discussing something, so I slept late,” Leng Ruoxue explained.
“Oh, pack up quickly. We have to set off. We have to reach West Wind Town before dusk today. Otherwise, we will have to sleep outdoors tonight,” Lan Ming urged.
“Oh!” Leng Ruoxue replied and returned to her room. She tidied up simply and waited in the courtyard with Freak. Leng Qingtian and the others walked out of their rooms not long later.
“President Lan, how are we going?” Old Zao asked Lan Ming.
“Taking my flying spirit beast.” Lan Ming summoned his beast.
Lan Ming’s flying spirit beast was an enormous golden eagle. It was covered in golden feathers that were as sharp as blades, and its golden eyes were cold and sharp. As soon as the eagle appeared, it occupied the entire yard.
“Wow! What a big bird!” Old Zao sighed. This bird was even larger than the lass’s Quill.
“You’re the bird, you damn old man.” The golden eagle glanced at Old Zao with a displeased face.
“Uh!” Old Zao’s face darkened. Boohoo… He was actually scolded by a bird that didn’t admit to being a bird. But he was obviously a bird! Old Zao was conflicted and depressed…
“Haha! You have personality. I like him.” Old Man was so happy seeing Old Zao deflated! He even praised the eagle.
“Alright, let’s go,” Lan Ming said while suppressing his smile.
After Leng Ruoxue and the others sat on the back of the golden eagle, he flapped his giant wings, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the horizon with a strong gust…
Several hours later…
“Lass, looks like we really have to sleep outdoors,” Lan Ming said worriedly as he looked at the sky.
“It doesn’t matter!” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly. Along the way, she had been comparing Quill with this golden eagle. But she still felt that her beast was better. Although this eagle was higher level than Quill, his feathers were not as soft as Quill’s, and it was not comfortable lying on him.
“Lass, no woman likes to sleep outdoors,” Lan Ming couldn’t help saying.
“Yes, you can choose not to treat me as a woman,” Leng Ruoxue said lightly. She was not one of those pampered young ladies. If she wanted to become a powerhouse, this bit of suffering was nothing!
“…”
Lan Ming had lived for more than 30 years, and this was the first time he had seen a woman as carefree as Leng Ruoxue. But he was a little impressed by her. Compared to those young ladies from noble families who thought they were talented, were arrogant, looked down on others, and were unwilling to suffer a bit of hardship, Leng Ruoxue could be considered quite low-key and was very good at enduring hardship. So he believed that she would become a true powerhouse one day.
“Since we can’t reach West Wind Town before dark, let’s find a place to camp!” Leng Ruoxue continued.
“That’s the only way,” Lan Ming said helplessly. Nighttime on the Boundless Heaven Continent wasn’t safe, so even powerhouses were unwilling to travel at night.
