After cultivating for a period of time, Ye Liuyun once again switched places with Lei Ming.
On the way, he encountered a group of strong mercenaries. Ye Liuyun even took the initiative to kill them.
However, he used the Sky Cutting Finger this time. His Rolling Thunder Fist had been cultivated to the peak, so he did not need to practice it anymore. However, his Sky Cutting Finger still needed to be improved.
He had been chased for five days and his schedule had been delayed but he could not think of any good ideas. He did not know when he would stop being chased. Moreover, he was annoyed by Lei Ming every day, and his anger had increased greatly.
He had attacked the mercenaries heavily for this reason. Each finger was aimed at their vitals. After the mercenaries were killed, he did not even collect anything. He just turned his head and left, not paying any attention to Lei Ming too.
Lei Ming also knew that he had lost his temper. She stuck out her tongue and followed him obediently.
After a while, Ye Liuyun felt safe and said to Lei Ming, "Let's part ways here! I have to find a way to return to Wuyang City. It's dangerous there, so you don't have to follow me anymore!"
"Why are you going back to Wuyang City? Aren't they trying to catch us?" Lei Ming blinked her large eyes and asked. She did not understand why Ye Liuyun was going back to die.
"I'm going to Sky Fortune Town to participate in the competition. If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid it'll be too late," replied Ye Liuyun.
"Sky Fortune City? Is it fun there? We can just go there directly. Why do you have to go to Wuyang City?" Lei Ming asked in confusion.
"I'm afraid that this little girl has never left her house!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.
"Sky Fortune City is relatively far from here. If we walk there, we definitely won't be able to make it in time. My schedule has been delayed, so I need to borrow the flying birds of the Beast Controlling Hall to rush to Sky Fortune Town." Ye Liuyun said with a frown.
"Fine, I'll go with you. Let's go back now!" Lei Ming said excitedly.
"No, we're going our own ways! Ever since I met you, I've always been unlucky! I don't want to get myself involved with you again." Ye Liuyun hurriedly refused.
He felt that Lei Ming was not simple. Not only was her identity and strength relatively mysterious, but she often pretended to be ignorant and was particularly good at acting. He felt that he would fall into this girl's trap if he was not careful.
"I was unlucky to have met you!" Lei Ming muttered unhappily. "I was cultivating well, but who knew that you would suddenly run out..."
Ye Liuyun did not carefully listen to her mutters. He just said, "No matter what, you can't follow me anymore!"
With that, he turned and left.
But Lei Ming followed him again.
Ye Liuyun said angrily, "What exactly do you want?"
"If you don't want me to follow you, then I won't. Why are you roaring! Give me the Thunder Origin Pearl, and I won't follow you!" Lei Ming said carefully.
"As expected, you're thinking about the Thunder Origin Pearl. However, I can't give it to you. I have great use for this Thunder Origin Pearl!" Ye Liuyun rejected.
"That Thunder Origin Pearl was mine in the first place! It was mine..." Lei Ming yelled. However, she stopped halfway through her sentence and glared angrily at Ye Liuyun.
"The Thunder Origin Pearl has already acknowledged me as its master! Why do you say it belongs to you?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask whether it belongs to me or not!" Lei Ming said with grievance.
Ye Liuyun immediately used his Divine Sense to communicate with the Thunder Origin Pearl.
After asking, Ye Liuyun was also shocked. The Thunder Origin Pearl was indeed Lei Ming's.
Moreover, the Thunder Origin Pearl told him an even more shocking piece of news. This little girl was a Demon, transformed from the Thunder Dragon. The Thunder Origin Pearl was the origin of this Thunder Dragon. If she did not have the Thunder Origin Pearl, she would have returned to her original form in a month.
Ye Liuyun stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded. He did not know what to do.
He had been with the Demon for five days.
The so-called Demon was called Demon when feral beasts transformed into human beings after reaching a certain realm.
And this little girl was actually a Demon.
Ye Liuyun immediately activated his Phantom Eyes, only to find that his level of the Phantom Eyes Technique was not high enough, so he could not see the girl's actual form.
Lei Ming also noticed that he was using his Phantom Eyes, so she said, "You haven't mastered the Phantom Eyes Technique yet, so you can't see my real form. But I can't show it to you either. Without the Thunder Origin Pearl, I can no longer turn back into human form after transforming back!"
"This Thunder Origin Pearl is your origin power. Why did you separate from it?" Ye Liuyun's tone also softened. After all, he had stolen someone else's things.
"I've already cultivated this Thunder Origin Pearl until it has its own consciousness. I didn't expect that someone would steal it. I went out to play around and find something to eat. I let it absorb the power of thunder there on its own. I didn't expect that when I came back, it would be absorbed by you. I was afraid that I couldn't defeat you, so I had to follow you!" The more Lei Ming said, the more aggrieved she became. She was about to cry.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately took out the Thunder Origin Pearl and returned it to her.
"If you had told me earlier, I would have given it to you! Sorry, I didn't know it was yours, and it didn't tell me."
Lei Ming excitedly picked up the Thunder Origin Pearl and swallowed it. Then, she happily pounced on Ye Liuyun and kissed him on the face to express her gratitude!
"Liuyun, you are such a kind person!" The sound of thunder was like the chirp of an oriole, gentle and pleasant to listen to.
"Um... that's what I should do. It's yours anyway!" Ye Liuyun said awkwardly.
Anyway, he had absorbed a lot of the power of thunder from the Thunder Origin Pearl. He could only slowly accumulate the rest. He could not rob others of such an important thing.
"Alright, now that I have the Thunder Origin Pearl, I'm no longer afraid of those people. Let's go back and kill them?" said Lei Ming with a smile.
"What's your current strength?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"Sixth Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase! Together with my Life Treasures, I should be able to fight against the Eighth Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase!" said Lei Ming confidently.
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun slowly shook his head. "There are definitely experts in the town. An expert at the Eighth Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase like you isn't strong enough to slaughter your way back! You'd better leave. I'll find a way back by myself."
Lei Ming thought for a moment. If she revealed her true form, her strength would increase by another level.
Ye Liuyun still shook his head. There were even experts at the Sixth Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase in Fengyang City, so there might be experts at the Ninth Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase in Wuyang Town. This risk could not be taken.
But he still asked curiously, "What is your real form like? Can I have a look?"
After thinking about it, Lei Ming immediately transformed into a little beast and appeared in front of Ye Liuyun.
The little beast had two horns on its head. It had big eyes and a small nose. In addition to the horns, it was somewhat similar to the human form of Lei Ming. It did not look scary at all and did not have the fierce look of a feral beast.
Its whole body was covered with blue fur, shining with lightning. Its limbs were like cats, but its tail was like a crocodile tail, hard and powerful. Only its belly was white fur.
Ye Liuyun looked at the Thunder Dragon and could not help but want to touch it.
Lei Ming jumped into his arms and rolled. Ye Liuyun touched Lei Ming's soft fur and could not help laughing. "You're so cute!"
Lei Ming blinked his eyes and said playfully, "Take me with you in the future. I haven't gone out at all. I've been cultivating in the Thunderous Stream Cave. If you take me with you, I can take you into Wuyang City without fighting!"
"Do you really have a solution?" Ye Liuyun asked.
Ye Liuyun put her down and she once again took human form.
"Of course! I'm so smart. There's nothing I can't solve!" Lei Ming puffed out her chest and said proudly.
"Don't stick it out. It wasn't big in the first place!" Ye Liuyun lashed out at her. "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a method? Tell me, if the method is feasible, I can consider bringing you along!"
"You... Huh!" Lei Ming looked down and could not say anything to refute him. She could only say, "You have to keep your word! You have to cook for me in the future too!"
