"Okay! Fine!"
Li Yunjing felt a stirring in his heart and nodded. Given the constitution of a cultivator, fatigue was naturally nonexistent, especially considering they hadnât engaged in a major battle. Even if Zhu Wanyun didnât rest for seven days and nights, it wouldnât affect her state.
With Li Yunjingâs permission, Zhu Wanyun was overjoyed and happily took out her guzheng, table, and chairs from the Hundred Treasures Pouch and arranged them on the deck.
Seeing this, Li Yunjing couldnât help but laugh softly.
This woman is interesting. This set of equipment must have taken up quite a bit of space in the Hundred Treasures Pouch. Isnât this a waste of space for treasures?
But this was where Li Yunjing differed from other cultivators. The treasures on his body filled all his storage magical treasures to the brim, a level that is not representative of normal cultivators.
Even though Zhu Wanyun was a princess of the royal family, the resources she carried were few, aside from daily consumable items. One Hundred Treasures Pouch was sufficient for her needs.
Soon, Zhu Wanyun had tuned her instrument, and melodious music began to play.
Differing from the lofty mood of "High Mountains Flowing Water" played last time, this time, amidst the vast sea, Zhu Wanyun chose "Returning Boat with Chanted Cries".
This piece was much more intense, as if one could hear the waves striking the hull and see the seagulls soaring above the sea through Zhu Wanyunâs playing.
The sharp change in style showcased Zhu Wanyunâs musical skill. The melodious tune transformed into beautiful notes under her jade-like fingers, flowing out.
Standing at the shipâs bow, Li Yunjing felt quite emotional.
A musically talented lady accompanying him did indeed improve Li Yunjingâs mood a lot, making him feel less oppressed and more cheerful.
Having a beautiful woman playing the zither made the long voyage far from boring.
Li Yunjing, in high spirits, took out a jade flute and played along with Zhu Wanyun, creating a scene reminiscent of a couple of immortals.
Half a day later, as the sun set, a small island appeared in front of them.
Only then did Li Yunjing and Zhu Wanyun reluctantly put away their instruments and focused on what lay ahead.
Upon landing on "Lingxiu Island," they looked around and saw nothing but desolation, causing them to look at each other in dismay. Is this what they call "Lingxiu Island"?
Isnât this a typical case of misleading title?
It was barren except for some small trees, weeds, and protruding rocks. How could this be called "Lingxiu Island"?
"Letâs go! Letâs find those demon cultivators!"
Scanning the area with his divine sense, Li Yunjing lightly touched the sand with his toes, holding Zhu Wanyunâs slender waist, and effortlessly flew to the highest cliff on the island.
Li Yunjingâs warm hand made Zhu Wanyun feel numb and weak, her body softening uncontrollably. She wrapped her snowy arms around Li Yunjingâs waist and leaned her head tightly against his chest.
"Mm..."
Seeing Zhu Wanyun clinging to him like a koala, Li Yunjing let out a small laugh. This woman sure takes liberties instinctively!
It seems men must also learn to protect themselves when outside.
"Alright! Now that weâve landed, the demon cultivators have noticed us and are on their way. Wanyun, you canât keep hanging on me, otherwise how will I protect you when the fighting starts?"
Caressing Zhu Wanyunâs little head indulgently, Li Yunjing smiled.
"Okay! I..."
Zhu Wanyunâs pretty face turned bright red, unable to explain herself. Still, she got down from Li Yunjingâs body.
"You probably have Water and Wood Spirit Roots, right? Iâll give you a new cultivation method later."
Amid sensing several streaks of light approaching from afar, Li Yunjing maintained his calm, still finding time to discuss Zhu Wanyunâs future cultivation issues.
The two embraced, and Li Yunjing casually checked Zhu Wanyunâs body. As a virgin with Water and Wood Spirit Roots, her aptitude was decent, worth cultivating.
Of course, merely worth cultivating. Compared to the talents of Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi, she was far behind.
If she didnât have a top-tier constitution, Li Yunjing wouldnât be bothered to fully cultivate her.
Since this woman wishes to get close to him, Li Yunjing is happy to listen to her music and enjoy the companionship. He would give Zhu Wanyun some benefits and see if she could handle them.
"Thank you, National Preceptor! I will certainly try hard!"
Listening to Li Yunjingâs words, Zhu Wanyunâs eyes flashed with excitement.
Zhu Wanyun knew that at this moment, Li Yunjing had begun to accept her.
This was a huge stroke of luck!
As they say, the beginning is the hardest part. With the first step taken, Zhu Wanyun was confident that with her own body, she could secure a place in Li Yunjingâs heart.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Li Yunjing no longer had the focus to mind Zhu Wanyunâs thoughts. While he was speaking, a series of dark figures began appearing around the cliff.
The number kept growing, eventually totaling more than a hundred!
Among them were over ten Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators!
Seeing this, Zhu Wanyun snapped out of her fantasy, her face turning pale and terrified.
In such circumstances, this delicate woman lost all her courage, her mind going blank and losing all confidence.
Li Yunjing glanced at Zhu Wanyun, shook his head slightly.
This woman is not a heroine, but merely a pretty vase.
"Are all of you from the Soul-Controlling Sect?"
Looking at the surrounding encirclement, Li Yunjing focused on the highest-ranked among the dozen Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and asked.
