Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 502 - 500: Beauty Like a Dream

"Luo Feng, let’s set out for Sky Mountain tomorrow."

As the two of them walked towards the cave, Yang Wanyi suggested abruptly.

"Tomorrow?"

Luo Feng paused, frowning at Yang Wanyi. "Have your injuries healed?"

"I have recovered mostly. It’s better to go to Sky Mountain sooner, so you can better understand your opponent. Competing for the Martial Champion List is no small matter."

Seeing Luo Feng’s concerned gaze, Yang Wanyi’s eyes shimmered slightly, and she gave a charming smile, her radiant beauty unmatched.

"Alright." Luo Feng nodded, a hint of reluctance hidden deep in his eyes. Heading to Sky Mountain, who knows when he might run into Liu Jinshi again.

"You want to take revenge on Liu Jinshi?"

Aware of Luo Feng’s silence, the exceptionally sharp Yang Wanyi immediately guessed his thoughts.

Luo Feng didn’t deny it. "This time, he took quite a blow, and I doubt he’ll let it slide, especially since he also injured you."

Yang Wanyi was taken aback, realizing that Luo Feng was trying to avenge her. She lightly bit her rosy lips and said, "Even though Liu Jinshi was injured, he is at the second level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. It won’t be easy to kill him. Moreover, the assessment of the Twelve Golden Palaces is approaching; you better not divert your attention. As for revenge, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Alright."

Luo Feng nodded without saying more.

Though they never squared off directly, he was confident in his strength, having awakened two Spiritual Rotations and fully mastered Teng Dragon’s Step. He believed he could kill Liu Jinshi. But of course, he would not divulge these thoughts to Yang Wanyi.

The two entered the cave.

After cultivating the entire night, Luo Feng’s stomach growled. Scratching his head awkwardly, he said, "I’ll get something to eat first."

As he reached for the game he’d hunted the previous night, intending to prepare a meal, Yang Wanyi stopped him.

Snatching the food from Luo Feng’s hands, Yang Wanyi’s sparkling eyes narrowed as she smiled charmingly. "You’ve taken care of me these past few days. You’ve been cultivating all night, so this time let me do it."

"You’re cooking?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng raised an eyebrow. "Do you even know how to roast meat?"

Seeing Luo Feng’s quizzical look, Yang Wanyi stamped her foot and huffed, "There is nothing that I, Yang Wanyi, cannot do! It’s only roasting meat. Just sit there and wait. I’ll make it so delicious you’ll want to bite your tongue off!"

Saying this, Yang Wanyi turned and headed towards the fire, leaving Luo Feng with a charming, captivating view of her retreating form.

Watching Yang Wanyi busily preparing the fire and meat, Luo Feng gave a faint smile, walked over to the side, sat down, closed his eyes, and recalled the feeling of using Teng Dragon’s Step. He wanted to completely digest the gains from the past few days.

Squatting by the campfire, Yang Wanyi glanced up to see Luo Feng deeply immersed in cultivation. Her lovely Daimei arched. Dare to underestimate me? I’ll make you eat your words today...

With a slight humph, Yang Wanyi averted her gaze, looking at the ingredients beside her. Her fine brows knitted, and she bit her finger, trying to recall. He seemed to clean the meat first, and then...

After a while, a strange aroma roused Luo Feng from his cultivation.

"This smell..."

He sniffed the air, and his brow immediately furrowed.

"Done!"

With a crisp laugh, Yang Wanyi stood up, clapped her hands, and looked at the roasted meat in front of her, a satisfied smile on her face.

Seeing that Luo Feng had stopped cultivating, Yang Wanyi proudly said, "Luo Feng, come and try it."

Luo Feng looked at the charred-black roast in front of him, then looked up at Yang Wanyi, a bitter smile on his face. "Is this the roast you made?"

Yang Wanyi also seemed dissatisfied with the roast’s appearance. Her fine brows knitted as she said, "I did everything exactly as you normally do. While it might not look great, the taste definitely won’t be bad."

At her words, Luo Feng was startled, then understood. "Is this your first time roasting?"

Yang Wanyi naturally nodded, offered him a charming smile, and handed him the largest piece. "This is for you."

Luo Feng looked at the piece of roast in his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Yang Wanyi grabbed another piece of roast for herself and tore off a small chunk, preparing to taste her own handiwork.

However, the moment the roast entered her mouth, her pair of Daimei immediately furrowed. She finally understood why Luo Feng wore such an expression.

"This roast..."

She bit her lip and looked at Luo Feng with an awkward expression, not sure how to explain.

Seeing Yang Wanyi’s expression, Luo Feng let out a breath, tore off a piece of the roast, chewed it slowly, swallowed, and then said with a smile, "For a first attempt, it’s not bad at all."

At his words, Yang Wanyi paused, her cheeks flushing. She softly said, "If it doesn’t taste good, don’t force yourself to eat it."

"This is the first dish made by the daughter of the City Lord of Dayang City. It would be a waste not to eat it."

Luo Feng lifted the charred piece of roast in his hand and gave a smile.

"Suit yourself..."

Yang Wanyi’s face turned a little red. With a light huff, she felt a sense of happiness well up within her at Luo Feng’s words.

Amidst the awkward atmosphere, the two silently ate the roast.

Just as Luo Feng was about to tear off the last piece of roast, he looked up towards the entrance of the cave, his expression changing. "Something is coming. This aura, it feels like a Spirit Mirror..." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"A Spirit Mirror?"

Yang Wanyi’s Daimei rose slightly; before she could say anything, a beam of red light shot into the cave.

The red light moved as fast as lightning and was in front of Yang Wanyi in an instant.

Yang Wanyi’s eyes flashed as she reached out and caught the red light in her hand. It was a fire-red Spirit Mirror, about half a foot long, crystalline and translucent, resembling a Token, shimmering faintly with a red flame light.

"This is Linglong Hall’s Spirit Mirror. I wonder what it could be..."

Yang Wanyi looked at the Spirit Mirror and muttered to herself.

"Should I go out?" Luo Feng asked. "This is the Spirit Mirror given to Yang Wanyi by Linglong Hall; there might be some secret information."

"No need." Yang Wanyi shook her head with a smile and immediately infused Yuan Qi into the Spirit Mirror.

BUZZ!

The Spirit Mirror trembled slightly, and streaks of fiery red characters flowed out from it.

"Yang Wanyi, a few days ago, a disciple of the Hall accidentally discovered a Blood Demon Sect base in the Flowing Cloud Region of the Canglang Dynasty. Several of our comrades have died, and the Hall Master has decided to attack this base. Upon seeing this Spirit Mirror, please return to Linglong Hall immediately."

"Blood Demon Sect..."

Seeing the characters appearing in the Spirit Mirror, Yang Wanyi’s Daimei furrowed slightly. Thoughts of Yang Dingtian’s severe blood poisoning flashed through her mind as a chill swept through her eyes.

"Since Linglong Hall has a situation, you should go back first," Luo Feng said, noting Yang Wanyi’s expression.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wanyi bit her lip, her face expressing an apologetic look as she said, "Luo Feng, I’m so sorry. I... I’m afraid I can’t accompany you to Sky Mountain."

"There’s no need to apologize. Official matters are more important. Since the Demon Sect has planted a base in our Flowing Cloud Region, it must be eradicated as soon as possible. I can go to Sky Mountain alone," Luo Feng replied with a smile.

Yang Wanyi became silent. For some reason, the thought of leaving made her recall the peaceful life she had in the cave these past few days.

Once I leave this time, there probably won’t be an opportunity like this again...

Yang Wanyi muttered to herself, feeling somewhat inexplicably dejected. However, she couldn’t ignore Linglong Hall’s Spirit Mirror.

Moreover, this time it was to attack the Blood Demon Sect.

Standing up, Yang Wanyi bit her lip lightly, her gaze sweeping slowly across the cave. Her eyes finally landed on Luo Feng’s face, and she softly said, "Then I’ll go first."

"You’re leaving now? What about your injuries?"

Luo Feng frowned slightly, an inexplicable sense of melancholy washing over him as well.

"My injuries are no longer serious." Yang Wanyi shook her head. Actually, she hadn’t told the full truth earlier. Her injuries had already healed yesterday; she just hadn’t wanted to tell Luo Feng so soon and had thus concealed it.

Now, however, she had no choice but to tell him.

Luo Feng thought Yang Wanyi was just trying to comfort him. He immediately stood up. "I am also preparing to head to Sky Mountain. I will escort you out of the Blood-colored Wilderness."

Yang Wanyi looked at Luo Feng, nodded gently, and said, "Thank you."

The two quickly gathered their belongings and set off.

"Wait."

As they were about to exit the cave, Yang Wanyi abruptly stopped, looking at the cave they had lived in for the past few days. Her eyes reflected mixed feelings, and with a wave of her jade hand—

BOOM!

A nearby boulder flew up and, with a heavy thud, completely sealed the entrance of the cave.

Having done this, Yang Wanyi said, "Let’s go."

Their figures soared into the sky, transforming into two streaks of light, rushing out towards the perimeter of the Blood-colored Wilderness.

At this point, Luo Feng had also stepped into the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Free from many previous constraints, the two of them flew directly through the air.

Along the way, they encountered a few reckless flying Demon Beasts, but under their combined assault, all were instantly slain.

Two hours later, they arrived at the edge of the Blood-colored Wilderness.

Upon reaching the wide river they had crossed on their way in, Yang Wanyi stopped.

"Luo Feng, you are heading to Sky Mountain, so we will part ways here." Sky Mountain and Linglong Hall were not in the same direction. Yang Wanyi looked at Luo Feng and said.

Luo Feng nodded. "You are returning to Linglong Hall this time to take down the Blood Demon Sect base. You still have injuries, so be very careful."

Seeing Luo Feng’s concerned expression, Yang Wanyi was tempted to confess that she had hidden the truth about her injuries, but ultimately, she resisted the impulse. She smiled, nodded, and advised, "The Twelve Golden Palaces assessment is no small matter; many people lose their lives during it every year. Although your Cultivation is not weak, you must not be reckless. If there’s still time after we eliminate this stronghold, I’ll go to Sky Mountain to cheer you on. By the way, have you decided which Golden Palace you are going to apply to? Would you like to come to our Linglong Hall?"

Luo Feng touched his nose and said with a laugh, "Don’t tease me. Everyone knows that Linglong Hall consists of only female disciples."

Yang Wanyi chuckled lightly, her voice clear and pleasant. At last, she softly said, "Then I’ll go."

After pondering for a moment, just as Yang Wanyi was about to leave, her gaze fell on Luo Feng again, and her face gradually flushed. She averted his gaze and took out a fiery red Jade Pendant from her inner clothing.

With her gaze shifting shyly, Yang Wanyi handed the Jade Pendant to Luo Feng, "This Jade Pendant is a Fire Qilin Spirit Jade. Keeping it close to you can help Martial Artists temper their physical bodies. It’s beneficial for cultivation. I’m giving it to you."

"Such a valuable thing..."

Luo Feng was taken aback and tried to refuse, but Yang Wanyi had already stuffed the Jade Pendant into his hand without leaving him any chance to object.

"I hope you can make it onto the Martial Champion List."

Yang Wanyi said this lightly. A flash of fiery light enveloped her, and her figure soared into the sky, departing.

Luo Feng clenched the Jade Pendant. It was still faintly warm, presumably from Yang Wanyi’s body heat.

The breeze swept across Luo Feng. He sniffed the air; it still faintly held Yang Wanyi’s scent. Looking at the Fire Qilin Jade Pendant in his hand, he couldn’t help but softly sigh.

Her fragrance lingered, but she was gone...
