"Alright, let’s keep moving forward. Judging by the strength of these beasts, once we’ve covered about a hundred kilometers, they’ll completely fall below the level of the Creation Realm. That’s when we’ll reach the lair of the strange demons!"

Bai Xiaofan spoke as he took the lead and walked ahead!

"How does Master Bai figure these things out? I can’t perceive anything at all!"

"Who knows? I have a feeling this rogue... Master Bai is very mysterious. Since he says so, it must be correct!"

"Ye Mei, you really respect Master Bai now. You never used to believe his words, but now, without knowing anything, you assume Master Bai is right!"

"What do you mean by respect? This is what I’ve learned from our journey. Haven’t you noticed? Master Bai always says things we don’t know, and shortly afterward, they become reality!"

Silver and Ye Mei followed behind Bai Xiaofan, whispering to each other. Unconsciously, Ye Mei’s perception of Bai Xiaofan had undergone a drastic change!

"Master, you unknowingly captivated another girl!"

Listening to Silver and Ye Mei, Yuan’er whispered to Bai Xiaofan, sneaking in a mischievous smile like she had discovered a great secret!

Smack!

Just as Yuan’er finished speaking, a palm landed on her behind, causing her to nearly jump up in pain!

"Say more, and believe me, I’ll give you a good beating right now!"

Bai Xiaofan glanced at Yuan’er, full of threat in his voice!

Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Yuan’er rubbed her behind in grievance and hurriedly slipped to the back to chat with Silver and the others!

"Got spanked by your master again?"

Seeing Yuan’er approaching, Ye Mei teased with a laugh!

"Hmph, don’t be so smug. Have you forgotten how you got spanked?"

Yuan’er wrinkled her nose, deciding to launch her strongest counterattack!

"That was an accident, and I wasn’t willing to be spanked. Once I’m stronger in the future, I’ll definitely get back at him!"

Ye Mei’s face flushed red, she sneaked a glance towards Bai Xiaofan ahead, and then defiantly retorted!

"You say you’re not willing, but who knows what you really think? Perhaps you envy me being spanked by Master!"

"Nonsense, I’m not envious!"

The two not-so-eloquent women started arguing over an absurd topic!

"Master Bai is really charming. These two girls are arguing over you!"

Silver shook her head and walked over to Bai Xiaofan, smiling gently!

"Do you envy them?"

Bai Xiaofan suddenly turned his head, a playful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, looking at the dumbfounded Silver!

"Me? I...I’m not envious. I would never be like Yuan’er, a silly girl, happy to be spanked by you!"

Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Silver was rendered speechless, only to mutter softly after a long pause!

Her face flushed red from Bai Xiaofan’s words!

Haha...

Seeing Silver’s reaction, Bai Xiaofan laughed out loud!

With the prior experience against fierce beasts, Silver and Ye Mei’s battle skills had become increasingly adept. As they ventured deeper into the Lifeless Forest, the beasts’ strength weakened, so along the way, Silver and Ye Mei suffered no serious injuries!

Even Yuan’er could easily join the fighting!

However, after covering about fifty kilometers, Yuan’er couldn’t stay too far from Bai Xiaofan anymore because the forest’s toxic fumes had thickened, and she had to rely on Bai Xiaofan’s Protective Gang Qi to continue in the forest!

That day, Bai Xiaofan and his group stopped to rest, gazing around at the toxic fumes dense enough to obscure anyone beyond five meters, making Silver and the others feel rather helpless!

"Huh? Is there someone over there? I think I hear singing!"

Suddenly, Yuan’er pointed towards a patch of toxic fumes ahead and whispered to Bai Xiaofan next to her!

"Yes, yes, I heard it too. I thought I was imagining things!"

Silver nodded repeatedly in agreement with Yuan’er’s words!

"Why didn’t I hear anything?"

Listening to Yuan’er and Silver, Ye Mei’s face was full of confusion!

In theory, Ye Mei’s cultivation was supposed to give her better hearing than Silver and Yuan’er, so why was it that Silver and Yuan’er heard it and she didn’t hear anything?

"Calm your mind, don’t listen to anything, don’t think about anything, enter a state of cultivation!"

Bai Xiaofan didn’t answer their questions but instead waved his hand, causing several jade carvings to drop down, forming a simple formation around them, protecting them!

Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Ye Mei and the others didn’t ask further and followed Bai Xiaofan’s instructions!

Seeing the three women enter a state of cultivation, Bai Xiaofan slowly stood up, his gaze fixed ahead, sweeping his hand to send a bladed energy slicing through the mists towards the front!

Swish, swish!

The sound of sonic booms echoed, as the bladed energy flew over a hundred meters in an instant, slicing into a large, lush tree!

With a thud, the trunk exploded, and a shadow shrieked as it fled into the distance!

Subsequently, Bai Xiaofan stepped out, clear hundreds of meters in a single stride, arriving in front of the fleeing figure, grasping its neck with one hand!

"How dare you attack me? Aren’t you afraid Lord Mo will settle the score with you?"

The shadow threatened Bai Xiaofan with a sharp voice upon seeing him grab its neck!

"Tell Mo that this strange demon’s territory is one that I, the Emperor, will surely break through. If he disagrees, he can bring his people anytime; I’ll be waiting!"

Bai Xiaofan glanced at the figure indifferently, and with those words, casually flung the shadow away!

Then, Bai Xiaofan coldly swept a glance ahead, turned, and returned to the formation!

"Did Master Bai resolve the trouble up ahead?"

Seeing Bai Xiaofan return, Ye Mei opened her beautiful eyes to look at him, softly asking!

"Didn’t I tell you not to think about anything and to enter a cultivation state?"

However, Bai Xiaofan frowned at Ye Mei’s question, seemingly unhappy!

"I sensed you leaving, so I opened my eyes to check, and I just happened to hear what you said!"

Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Ye Mei lowered her head, speaking very softly!

"Turn around!"

Bai Xiaofan’s voice boomed, startling Ye Mei into a daze, yet thinking of something, she shook her head shyly!
