The night sky was filled with stars.
The bonfire swayed gently in the cold wind, and a simple tent was built under the rock wall. The bottom of the tent was padded with some hay, but it didn't seem to help. Fortunately, Lin Muyu also bought a quilt and stuffed it into the Universe Bag. This Universe Bag was really hard work. Without it, they wouldn't have been able to carry so many things.
However, the quilt was slightly thin, so it wasn't possible to rely on it to keep out the cold. Moreover, the tent was quite shabby with holes all over it, and the cold wind blew in.
Qin Yin took off her boots and hugged the quilt as she sat in the tent. She looked at the flickering flames outside and said with a smile, "Brother Ah-Yu, it's cold outside. Come in quickly. Keep the flames burning, and you can scare away most of the spirit beasts."
"Okay."
Lin Muyu added a few more thick sticks of firewood before opening the door of the tent. Bringing the cold wind with her, she entered the tent. However, her brows were still furrowed as she looked outside, as if she was still worried.
Qin Yin couldn't help but giggle and asked, "What are you worried about?"
"Dragon Seeking Forest isn't an ordinary forest …" Lin Muyu laughed at herself and said, "Last time, I went to the depths of Dragon Seeking Forest with Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the others, and we were almost killed by a spirit beast. I still have lingering fears when thinking about it. We must be extra careful when spending the night in Dragon Seeking Forest. Those spirit beasts are all smarter than the other."
Qin Yin chuckled. "But you also said that it's the depths of Dragon Seeking Forest, and we're only at the edge of Dragon Seeking Forest. How strong of a spirit beast can there be? Spirit beasts have a fixed 'territory'. Normally, spirit beasts won't leave their territory unless something big happens. Brother, you know this habit too. "
"Okay."
Lin Muyu touched her nose and smiled. "It should be because it's afraid of being chased by the Heaven Beast that time …"
"Heaven Beast?"
Qin Yin suddenly widened her eyes. "You … you encountered a Heaven Beast?"
"Yes. If it wasn't for the appearance of this Heaven Beast, Han Shao wouldn't have died in front of us …"
"When did this happen?"
"The second time was when I hunted 6,000-year-old light-type spirit stones for Yuchi Yan to forge a longsword for you." Lin Muyu leaned on the hard pillow and put her arms behind her head. She sighed and said, "That was a 13,000 year old Heaven Beast. We weren't its match at all. We were lucky to escape alive that time."
"Oh my god, a Heaven Beast that's more than ten thousand years old … That's a legendary sacred beast …" Qin Yin was slightly angry as she said, "I didn't know about this at all. It must be that bastard Supervisor Che Qiong's idea. Hmph, I'll definitely punish her after we return to the Ze Tian Palace!"
"No need."
Lin Muyu tilted her head and looked at her. "Xiao Yin, the Imperial Guard's mission is to protect Ze Tian Palace Hall, and the Eagle Guard's duty is to provide some precious spirit stones for the imperial family. You might not know about Che Qiong ordering the Eagle Nest Camp to patrol, but Father definitely knows. So don't pursue this matter. It's already in the past anyway."
Qin Yin was stunned. She gently moved her body and looked at Lin Muyu apologetically with her beautiful eyes. Like a little girl who had done something wrong, she whispered, "Big Brother Yu, please forgive Father … He's the emperor, and when he gave the order, he was sitting on the emperor's throne. I believe he didn't mean to disregard your life …"
"Okay, I know."
Lin Muyu smiled. "I know the rules of this world, and I'll learn to follow them. But Xiao Yin, if you become the emperor in the future, will you also disregard life like this?"
Qin Yin shook her head forcefully. "No, I promise!"
"Okay, that's good."
Lin Muyu closed her eyes and said, "Then in the future … on your path to becoming the emperor, anyone who makes an enemy of you will be my enemy … I promise, I will support you with all my strength until the day you become the emperor."
"Will you be there on the day I become the emperor?" Qin Yin asked faintly.
"Yes, I definitely will." Lin Muyu nodded.
"Okay, that's good …" Qin Yin gently held Lin Muyu's hand and pressed it against her snow-white face. She closed her eyes and said, "I hope we can be like this forever … Don't let power taint our relationship …"
"I won't."
"Okay …"
… …
Not long after, Qin Yin entered dreamland. She still held Lin Muyu's left hand in her arms and held it tightly. She slept peacefully like a beautiful elf born from the forest, making people feel infatuated and intoxicated.
It was almost dawn, but it was still dark outside. Lin Muyu had also fallen asleep.
The bonfire crackled and burned the last of the wood, leaving only a wisp of smoke floating in the mountains.
"Huff …"
In the distance, a pack of wolves bared their teeth, and mucus slowly dripped from their mouths. Their brown eyes stared fixedly at the simple and crude tent. To them, it was a delicious meal.
The alpha wolf's eyes faintly glowed with a golden luster. It had already gained intelligence. It let out a low growl as it looked into the distance. Its eyes were filled with greed. It could sense that the two people in the tent were faintly emanating spiritual energy. To it, this was a delicious meal. When a spirit beast devours the bodies of humans with cultivation, it can also greatly increase and accelerate its lifespan and cultivation.
Lifespan was only a standard to evaluate a spiritual beast's strength. A 10,000-year-old spiritual beast might not really have lived for 10,000 years. Perhaps 3,000 years of these 10,000 years were provided by humans.
"Roar …"
The alpha wolf suddenly roared and led more than 30 wolves down the mountain, heading straight for the tent.
… …
In his sleep, Lin Muyu's Spiritual Meridian Technique produced a violent fluctuation. He suddenly woke up and quickly retracted his hand. He shook Qin Yin's fragrant shoulder and said, "Xiao Yin, don't sleep anymore. A spiritual beast is sneaking up on us. Wake up quickly."
"Okay!"
Qin Yin quickly sat up and put on her little boots. At the same time, she took out a blue space bag from her waist and took out an exquisite seven-stringed jade zither.
"What are you going to do with the zither?" Lin Muyu asked in surprise, "It's a pack of Swift Wolves that attacked us. Are you going to smash them to death with the zither?"
Qin Yin chuckled. "You'll find out later."
"Alright …"
Lin Muyu carried the sword and walked out of the tent. The pack of wolves in the distance had already scurried over. There were more than 30 of them, and they were aggressive. The alpha wolf was a Swift Wolf with golden fur at the tip. It looked very different. There were three golden patterns on its head, and it was a 3,000-year-old spiritual beast. The rest of the Swift Wolves lived between 100 to 2,000 years, and they were not very strong.
The Dragon Spirit Sword softly let out a sword cry, as if it was cheering for the upcoming slaughter.
At this time, Qin Yin also carried the seven-stringed jade zither to Lin Muyu's side. Her body was surrounded by dense battle energy, and the milky white battle energy suddenly floated in front of her like a light mist. Holding the seven-stringed jade zither, Qin Yin's clothes fluttered as she stood in front of the zither. Strands of golden God Binding Chains martial soul lingered around her graceful body like a golden curtain. At this time, although Qin Yin was wearing a simple young girl's attire, she was like a fairy descending to the mortal world. This kind of temperament and aura was not something an ordinary woman could compare to.
"Big brother Yu, don't make a move first. Watch me."
Qin Yin confidently puffed out her chest. She was still young, but she had already developed very well. Her pair of peaks looked as if they were about to burst out of her clothes. Lin Muyu couldn't help but take a second look. Her heart was shaken, and she hurriedly used the Spirit Pulse Technique to control her mind.
"Roar …"
A few giant wolves roared and rushed over. Each of them opened their bloody mouths wide, ready to pounce on Yang Ling.
At this time, Qin Yin suddenly raised her hand, and a sharp zither sound swept past. Carrying the power of the God Binding Chains martial soul, it turned into a golden sound wave that directly attacked the wolves!
"Peng peng peng …"
The sound did not stop. Three wolves howled miserably as they died in the wilderness. They didn't even have the strength to fight back!
Qin Yin smiled sweetly at Lin Muyu. She raised her hand again, and another golden sound wave flew out. The zither sound was sharp, and it quickly killed four wolves. At this rate, Lin Muyu really didn't need to do anything. Just Qin Yin alone was enough to deal with this group of wolves.
"This … this was taught by Qu, right?" Lin Muyu asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Qin Yin nodded her head, but her hands didn't stop moving. She smiled faintly and said, "As the princess' tutor, Elder Qu used the God Binding Shackles martial soul's power and the ingenuity of the Demonic Noise Fist to create a sound wave attack martial art. By combining the power of the God Binding Shackles with sound, the lethality of the attack will be greatly increased."
"Yes …" Lin Muyu secretly praised. The God Binding Chains was the number one martial soul in the world. Its powerful attack power was indeed incomparable to other martial souls. Fortunately, her Green Gourd walked the path of defense. If it had walked the path of offense, it would not have lasted more than three rounds against the God Binding Chains. This was probably the principle of everyone having their own strengths.
… …
Very quickly, more than 30 wolves were almost finished off by Qin Yin. The leader of the wolves was also injured by the sound wave attack, and it was about to limp away. Qin Yin hugged her zither and said with a smile, "Big Brother Yu, let's catch this 3000 year Golden Crag Swift Wolf. Xiao Yin wants to tame it as a pet!"
"Okay!"
Lin Muyu raised her sword and chased after it. Every step she took was like a meteor falling to the ground. The Golden Crag Swift Wolf would not be able to outrun her even if it was not injured.
"Swoosh, swoosh …"
Gourd vines that glowed with golden light burst out of the ground and quickly wrapped around the Golden Crag Swift Wolf's body. It howled in pain and flailed its legs wildly, tearing apart a few vines. However, Lin Muyu was already in front of it. She raised the hilt of her sword and smashed it into the Golden Crag Swift Wolf's head.
"Bang!"
It immediately became obedient. It howled in pain and collapsed into the gourd vines. Like a puppy, it begged for mercy from Lin Muyu and Qin Yin. Qin Yin giggled. "Don't worry, we won't kill you. We just want you to come with us!"
