Whew!

Ten thousand miles away from where Wyatt Barnes and Leilany were, a figure appeared.

It was none other than Lux Nangle, who had earlier used the Flickering Light Escape Talisman to successfully flee right under Wyatt Barnes and Leilany’s noses. He was also the son of the current head of the Nangle Family in the Capital City of the Cloudrock Immortal Kingdom, the Young Master of the Nangle Family.

Upon revealing himself, Lux Nangle’s face still carried a look of terror.

"Who is that flawless woman? How can her power be so formidable?"

"The two elders were both ’Yellow Realm Daai Law Golden Immortals’... Without seeing her make a move, merely the cold aura extending from her body froze the two elders into ice sculptures, killing them effortlessly."

"Even though the cold aura around her is transformed by Immortal Origin Force... she didn’t use any Immortal Artifact!"

Thinking about this, Lux Nangle couldn’t help but gasp, murmuring to himself, "Usually... only a pinnacle Daai Law Golden Immortal can simultaneously kill two Yellow Realm Daai Law Golden Immortals without using an Immortal Artifact! That flawless woman is actually such a powerful being?"

At this moment, Lux Nangle felt as if he had been doused with cold water, completely waking up.

The desire that had risen deep within his heart was completely extinguished.

"Where is this place?"

Coming to his senses, Lux Nangle observed his surroundings and found himself amidst towering mountains.

"I need to find a place to hide... then send a message back, let my father send someone to fetch me back to the Capital City."

Now, Lux Nangle dared not return alone to the Capital City of Cloudrock Immortal Kingdom.

Given his cultivation, if he boldly ventured alone to the Capital City of Cloudrock Immortal Kingdom, he might be killed halfway by powerful immortals intercepting him.

So, he found a hidden cave to hide in, then took out a message talisman, infusing it with Immortal Origin Force, allowing it to transform into a lightning-like stream of light shooting skyward towards the direction of the Capital City of Cloudrock Immortal Kingdom.

In the message talisman, apart from asking his father to send someone to fetch him, Lux Nangle also described the surrounding environment so that his father’s dispatched people wouldn’t overlook this place.

As for the direction of his current location, he didn’t know.

However, as long as his father received the message talisman, he believed his father would surely be able to confirm his direction based on the direction from which the message talisman came.

After all, the message talisman flies in a straight line.

As the son of the current head of the Nangle Family, the Young Master of the Nangle Family, Lux Nangle’s message talisman was inscribed by a ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal’ level expert.

Hence, the flying speed of Lux Nangle’s message talisman was comparable to that of an ordinary Love Rowan Upper Immortal.

Unless intercepted by someone above the Love Rowan Upper Immortal level, it should reach the Capital City and the Nangle Family smoothly.

While Lux Nangle was sending a message to his father through the message talisman and waiting in the hidden cave for his father’s people to come and fetch him.

On the other side.

Sitting in Wyatt Barnes’s embrace, ’Leilany’ finally calmed down.

"Wyatt Barnes, although your embrace is different from mine and is rather hard, it still feels very comfortable."

Calmed down Leilany, gently tapped Wyatt Barnes’s chest with her left hand, smiling as she said.

At Leilany’s smile, it suddenly seemed like hundreds of flowers blossomed, dazzling and enchanting, causing Wyatt Barnes to momentarily lose focus, only regaining his senses after a moment.

After snapping back to reality, Leilany’s slightly moving body would occasionally separate from Wyatt Barnes, then press against him again. The soft sensation from her chest made Wyatt Barnes’s lower abdomen heat up uncontrollably.

"She really is a seductress..."

Feeling an inward gasp, Wyatt Barnes simultaneously pushed Leilany away, truly concerned that her gently swaying body might lead him to lose control.

This was the first time he had been teased by a woman like this.

Even though he consciously distanced himself from other women, keeping his heart calm, he was still a normal man after all.

A woman with a perfect appearance, perfect figure, flawless in every aspect leaning against him, if he didn’t feel anything, he’d truly have to wonder if there was something wrong with his body.

"Leilany, let’s look around and see if there is a town or something nearby... we need to determine where we are before making further plans."

As he pushed Leilany away, Wyatt Barnes spoke timely.

"Leilany will listen to Wyatt Barnes."

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Leilany nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Since her birth, Leilany had only interacted with ten people besides her mother, and nine of them showed eyes she hated when they first saw her. Disgusting her, she killed them.

Only Wyatt Barnes’s gaze didn’t annoy her the first time he saw her.

And Wyatt Barnes fulfilled the condition laid out by her mother that allowed her to leave the ruins, so she followed Wyatt Barnes away from there.

Leilany, having never seen the world, didn’t understand its dangers. In many aspects, she was not even comparable to the sheltered young women in deep chambers, who at least knew many rules. Yet, in Leilany’s world, no rules existed.

From the moment she followed Wyatt Barnes out, in Leilany’s world, besides her mother who she didn’t know where she went, Wyatt Barnes was her everything.

Of course, right now Leilany doesn’t know much about friendship or love...

She only knows that Wyatt Barnes is the person her mother said could take her away from that wasteland, someone she doesn’t dislike, someone she cares about. She won’t allow anyone to hurt Wyatt Barnes.

Anyone who wants to harm Wyatt Barnes deserves to die!

It was precisely because of this that scenes unfolded where the two elders of the Nangle Family wanted to kill Wyatt Barnes but were quickly slain by Leilany...

Right now, Leilany is like a blank ’white sheet of paper.’

As for how she’ll be painted in the future, it will depend on her upcoming experiences and Wyatt Barnes’s guidance.

"Let’s go."

Wyatt Barnes called to Leilany and then took the lead, stepping out boldly, while Leilany closely followed beside him, leaning on him as if unwilling to part even for a moment.

Wyatt Barnes could naturally sense Leilany’s attachment to him.

However, he didn’t mind.

Because he knew, it was only because Leilany hadn’t met many people or experienced much. Once she’d spent some time outside, she’d likely understand the difference between men and women and wouldn’t cling to him as she did now.

A few days later, Wyatt Barnes finally saw a city.

After entering the city, the first thing Wyatt Barnes did was buy an exquisite white face veil for Leilany. It was the type that was almost non-transparent, capable of covering Leilany’s crime-inducing perfect cheeks, not revealing them faintly, sparking imagination.

Even with Leilany wearing a veil, she still attracted nearly every man’s gaze wherever she went.

Even some women couldn’t help but glance several more times at Leilany instinctively.

Leilany clung to Wyatt Barnes’s side, yet in the presence of others, she didn’t show that innocent and pure demeanor. Instead, she appeared cold, giving an impression of being distant and unapproachable.

Leilany wore a thin white dress, her temperament cold, yet her every move exuded a sense of holiness that made others feel ashamed of themselves.

"That woman just now, although wearing a face veil... just from her temperament and seeing her pair of perfectly exquisite autumn-like eyes, one can imagine: beneath that veil is definitely a face of incomparable beauty."

"I think so too. Such a woman, beneath her veil, absolutely cannot be ugly."

"Perhaps she’s wearing a veil because of some flaw on her face? After all, women are naturally beauty-loving, if she truly were beautiful, to cover it up... wouldn’t that be a waste of nature?"

"I really want to see... what’s beneath that veil, what kind of face it is."

...

The path Wyatt Barnes and Leilany walked along was initially silent onlookers by the roadside, all were watching Leilany with curiosity in their eyes.

And after they passed, people couldn’t help but discuss fervently.

Their words were all captivated by the cold and holy temperament exuded by Leilany, and based on her exposed pair of perfect autumn-like eyes, they speculated that beneath Leilany’s veil was most likely a nearly perfect if not perfect face.

Even if her eyes weren’t perfect, they surely weren’t far off.

"Wait a moment, you two."

Just after crossing a wide street, a voice came from behind Wyatt Barnes and Leilany.

Leilany paid no attention at all.

Not until she noticed Wyatt Barnes halt and turn around did she stop and turn around.

Wyatt Barnes looked at the person who spoke to them—a young gentleman dressed like a scholar. He held a folding fan, with a delicate and handsome appearance, and a warm smile, yet his brows were tinged with a bit of sinister, making his whole aura seem somewhat contradictory.

Behind the young gentleman was an elderly man who seemed like an ordinary old man, but Wyatt Barnes could faintly sense there was more to him.

At least, he wouldn’t be any weaker than the two Nangle Family elders who recently perished at Leilany’s hands.

"You two seem like outsiders?"

The scholar-like young man’s smile arched further, bringing a hint of sinister, smiling as he asked Wyatt Barnes and Leilany.

However, his gaze lingered more on Leilany.

"What do you want?"

Wyatt Barnes glanced at the scholar-like young man askance and asked.

"Sir."

Seeing Leilany clinging closely to Wyatt Barnes’s side, a flash of jealousy crossed the young man’s eyes, and then he turned his gaze to Wyatt Barnes, smiling as he spoke:

"I would like your female companion to remove the veil from her face... Of course, this isn’t for free."

"As long as your female companion is willing to remove her face veil and let me glimpse her beauty, I’m willing to give you both ten thousand top-grade Immortal Stones each!"

The young scholar said with a smile.
