C42 (2/2)

When Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue saw that Li Tan had taken the initiative to introduce them, they did not treat him coldly either.

”I am Hong Ling, my friend, Lian Chengyue!” His tone was gentle, neither servile nor overbearing, giving others a feeling of a cool breeze caressing their faces.

Li Tan nodded his head, and pulled everyone behind him to greet them. Although the heaven's pride level experts of Tianhuang City could not compare to their Cangwu City, they definitely could not underestimate them, and he, the Cangwu Li Clan was one of Cangwu's aristocratic families, so he naturally did not dare underestimate them.

”Big Brother, why are you being so courteous to two cultivators who are younger than us? You want me to say, why don't we just directly get them out of this area?”

”Li Yuan, don't be so presumptuous! We're all martial cultivators, how can you be so rude!” Li Tan saw Li Yuan standing behind him talking impudently, and immediately scolded him in shock.

Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue were sitting by the side preparing food, and upon hearing what was said, they frowned. However, the two of them did not say anything in the end.

”Ah Yue, wait for me over here. I'll go find some seasonings and I'll be back soon!”

After these past few days of hard work, the young lady had long mastered and mastered these things. However, she was not familiar with the few fruits used as seasonings in the forest, so she could only let the young man pick them for her.

”Mm, okay, be careful!” Lian Chengyue gave him a sweet smile as she helped him tidy up his somewhat messy clothes.

Hong Ling nodded and slowly walked into the forest, looking for some familiar seasonings.

Lian Chengyue watched him enter the forest before returning her gaze to the bonfire in front of her. Her current favorite thing to do was to play with some food, even though there were very few methods of cooking other than roasting meat in the mountains, she was already very happy.

Li Tan and the others sat on the rocks by the stream and had already started to set up their tents. They had prepared a lot of things and had also brought some dried food, but it was almost impossible for them to cook by themselves.

Lian Chengyue did not care about them, she and Hong Ling's camp was more than 100 feet away, and was not worried that there would be any conflicts, but, even if she did not take the initiative to cause trouble, it did not mean that the other party would not take the initiative to find her.

Li Yuan was an outstanding younger generation member of the Li Family. Ever since he was young, he relied on his talent of being able to break through the fifth stage of World Barrier and was used to running rampant in the family. When he saw Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue, he naturally developed a kind of disgust for the youth.

Honestly speaking, the temperament of a noble young master made him very unhappy, so when Li Tan took the initiative to show goodwill to the youth and Lian Chengyue, he felt that he was being twisted.

However, although Li Yuan did not like Hong Ling, he was very interested in such an unparalleled beauty like Lian Chengyue. From the day they went camping until now, every single movement and every frown of the girl had captivated him.

He saw Hong Ling enter the forest, then mysteriously walked out, and slowly arrived in front of Lian Chengyue.

As a descendant of a Venerable family, coupled with the fact that he was born with a good set of skin, Li Yuan believed that his woman's fate was good. In his opinion, a peerless beauty like Lian Chengyue should naturally be owned by him.

”This fellow, Li Yuan, has gone to the corner again!” A Li Family disciple said with a smile. They were already used to this sort of thing.

”How long do you think this girl will take Li Yuan to take care of her?”

”A Rank 1 inner core … I bet not more than an hour!”

”I bet two, no more than a quarter of an hour!”

Lian Chengyue flipped the wooden lot over in her hands with interest. Under her meticulous barbecue, the two bear paws had already become yellow, and a layer of oil was sizzling out of them. Not long later, as long as Hong Ling brought the seasoned berries and herbs back, and spread them on his palm, then grilled them for a while, it would be done.

Lian Chengyue was very confident in her skills right now, but when she lifted her head to see if Hong Ling was back, a figure blocked her sight. That person extended his hand, wanting to grab the wooden lot in her hand.

”Miss Lian Cheng, I, Li Yuan, see your friend abandon you and leave you here with this bear paw. I really can't bear for you to suffer. I have no ill intentions in coming here to help you!”

Li Yuan revealed a smile that he thought was extremely enchanting as he said this in a gentle tone. He believed that with his temperament, this Lian Chengyue would definitely not be able to escape from his grasp.

Lian Chengyue slowly placed the bear's paw back on the grill. A cold light flashed in her eyes, and with a clang, the longsword in her spatial ring was pulled into her hands.

”Scram!”

The young lady's voice was like a winter snowstorm, bringing with it an ice-cold chilliness and killing intent.
