Chapter 54 - Persistent Herb (2) (1/2)

"I finally found you, My King." His mouth curled up. He stepped closer to Yi Ling and kneeled.

Yi Ling didn't move. she didn't know this man, did he just called her king?

"Master, this is my fault" A voice echoed inside her head.

"Yu'er? what do you mean?"

"I met this guy on one of my travels with Tefei. He kept calling me His King. I don't know why and I didn't bother to know. Since I was short on time. I thought I lost him on my way back here. I guess he still found my tracks. But since Mu Xin's formation is active in the Abyss, no one could enter. He must've been waiting here."

"who is he?" Yi Ling was puzzled.

"He is a 7 Rank of Emergent Stage Spiritual Herb. Unlike regular spiritual herbs, This guy is a Five Million years old. After a certain year, A spiritual herb could give birth to a spirit, like me. The Eternal Oak didn't have a spirit until a Two Hundred million years after. I was able to grow unhindered because Im inside the Ring. Spirit Herbs is what we call ourselves. Once an herb has a spirit, it can sense any spirit herbs nearby. No matter where they are. He must've sense me inside the Ring". As if to confirm it, The Man was looking at the Ring itself.

"But why is he calling you King?" Yi Ling still didn't understand it.

"Master, that I do not know. When I became a spirit, My previous master was already missing. Im sorry". Even he was confused regarding this matter.

Yi Ling sighed. Looks like this is going to be a headache. She didn't want any company this time. But from the looks of it, this man had been chasing Linyu for many months.

With a manly voice, Yi Ling spoke.
