"Ye Feng, the Blood Skeleton, and that woman in white, the old man in grey, their combat…..."
As she spoke to the end, Xue Yu Li seemed somewhat conflicted, as if unsure how to describe it.
"Their fight, although there were fluctuations of arcane energy, they looked like arcane energy, but they were also quite peculiar, as if they weren't arcane energy…..."
Jiang Si Shan thought for a moment and continued.
"Just say their arcane energy was strange, why were you looking at me like that just now?"
Hearing their words, Ye Feng was suddenly a little depressed. He had just wondered what was wrong with him.
Xue Yu Li pondered for a while, seeming to make a final confirmation, then said to Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, the energy fluctuations they emitted during combat were very different from our arcane energy, but they were very similar to your primordial arcane energy!"
"That's right!"
Jiang Si Shan nodded, "I was just about to say, this similarity is a very mysterious similarity, but it's hard to pinpoint the specifics!"
"What the heck?"
Hearing their explanations, Ye Feng became even more puzzled.
…………
Perhaps the sudden transformation of the desert into an oasis brought immense shock and joy to the people in the sand dunes. For the next few days, Ocean Paradise was filled with celebratory banquets.
And Ye Feng, who hadn't relaxed properly since entering the sand dunes, naturally indulged in feasting. Eventually, the banquet moved, turning into a luxurious picnic with a large number of people...
During this time, Ye Feng found an opportunity to give Jiang Si Shan a large ice-attribute arcane nguyên thạch, half the size of a small car. It was the one he had obtained earlier during the extreme cold blizzard in the Frozen Snow Region.
Jiang Si Shan was dumbfounded at the time. Having grown up in the City of Arcane Arts, he had seen countless arcane nguyên thạch, but this was the first time he had seen one so large and of such excellent quality...
He had wanted to refuse, after all, such a large ice-attribute arcane nguyên thạch was too precious, far exceeding the scope of ordinary gifts...
Ice-attribute arcane energy was not among the five common attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The corresponding arcane nguyên thạch were even rarer, essentially having a price but no market...
But Ye Feng said it was for Bing, so Jiang Si Shan accepted it, because it had extraordinary significance for Bing, who cultivated ice-attribute arcane energy!
Of course, Ye Feng did not let Jiang Si Shan help for nothing. He gave the other half of the arcane nguyên thạch he obtained at the Skeleton Society auction, which was more than ten pieces. This made Jiang Si Shan very happy. He patted Ye Feng's shoulder and praised Ye Feng for not prioritizing romance over friendship...
……………..
Five days later,
Noon,
At a fork in the road, quite far from Ocean Paradise,
"Yu Li, tell them not to see us off any further!"
Ye Feng looked at the vast crowd behind Xue Yu Li and said helplessly.
After all, along the way, no matter how Ye Feng tried to persuade them, these people who came to see him off kept following...
"Then... take care!"
Xue Yu Li hesitated for a moment, looked at the sun in the sky, and nodded.
"Mm!"
Ye Feng looked at the crowd behind Xue Yu Li, "Thank you all for your hospitality. It's a pleasure to meet you again!"
"Goodbye, Adventurer!"
"Mr. Ye Feng, thank you for saving the Sand Dunes!"
"Lord Ye Feng, come again if you have the chance!"
"Goodbye, Brother Ye Feng!"
"Take care, Brother Ye Feng!"
"Brother Ye Feng, I believe you will be able to find the legendary Lamp of Creation!"
.........
Amidst the gazes and blessings of the crowd, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao slowly walked towards the direction indicated by the arcane compass.
It wasn't until their figures disappeared from everyone's sight that Xue Yu Li, Jiang Si Shan, and the others who saw them off reluctantly turned away.
"Let's go, it will be dark by the time we get back to Ocean Paradise at this pace!"
Xue Yu Li turned and said to Guo Hai and the others.
"Mm!"
Guo Hai and the other high-ranking officials of Ocean Paradise nodded, then quickly walked towards the crowd to convey Xue Yu Li's intentions.
After bidding farewell to Xue Yu Li, Jiang Si Shan mounted an off-road motorcycle and sped towards the City of Arcane Arts...
.........
Around 3 PM,
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao were walking at a moderate pace, Xiao Xiao looking around curiously.
"It's so strange... is the mysterious woman in white who put a bounty on me really Yue Fei Xue?"
"I didn't provoke her either. Why would she put a bounty on my head?"
"And her strength is so high... she wouldn't need to go to such lengths to kill me..."
"If it's not her, then who could it be?"
Ye Feng muttered to himself, quite puzzled.
He thought about it from all angles, but couldn't figure out what was going on!
"Ah!~"
Suddenly, Xiao Xiao exclaimed.
Because a white figure appeared in front of her without any warning. She, who was hopping and walking forward, almost bumped into her.
"It's you?"
Seeing the figure that appeared before him and Xiao Xiao like a ghost, Ye Feng couldn't help but be surprised.
The other party was none other than Yue Fei Xue, whom he had just been thinking and murmuring about.
Yue Fei Xue was still wearing a white palace dress, but this time she wasn't wearing a veil. Her breathtakingly beautiful face made Ye Feng momentarily lose his composure.
"This is for you!"
While Ye Feng was in a daze, Yue Fei Xue handed him a stone with swirling halos.
"Primordial Stone, you will need it later!"
Meeting Ye Feng's confused gaze, Yue Fei Xue spoke again.
After speaking, without waiting for Ye Feng to respond, she glanced at him indifferently, then turned and walked directly into the sky. Yes, that's right, she walked on the void.
Yue Fei Xue's steps were steady, as if there were invisible steps in the void that Ye Feng couldn't see. Moreover, each step she took covered a long distance, leaving behind afterimages.
"You're growing too slowly!"
After Yue Fei Xue's figure completely disappeared from Ye Feng's sight, a cold voice echoed from far away in the sky.
"This... is this the answer to my previous confusion?"
"She put a bounty on me to make me grow faster?"
Ye Feng was stunned, as if he understood, and yet he didn't.
"Big brother, that powerful sister is so beautiful~!"
"When I grow up, I want to be as strong and beautiful as her!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's earnest voice rang out.
"Uh... Xiao Xiao, let's keep moving forward..."
Ye Feng didn't know how to answer Xiao Xiao, so he changed the subject.
.........
High in the sky,
Yue Fei Xue stood in the air, her cold gaze falling on Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao, who were walking slowly.
"King Hades has awakened, and the remaining eleven main gods are probably not far behind... I hope there's still time... before the Day of Judgment..."
Yue Fei Xue sighed softly, and as her voice faded, her figure instantly disappeared, as if she had never appeared before.
