"Hmm, better safe than sorry," Yans Ruxue said, "I agree with this approach."

True Person of Taiyi said, "It's just the right time as I need to retreat and refine the Spirit Marrow. Although the Sumeru Ring space is a bit stuffy, it is extremely safe and suitable for seclusion."

"There's no time to lose, let's head to Yan Mountain right now..." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

All three nodded in agreement.

So, the four of them left the inn, crossed the bustling streets of Dragon City, went through the city gates, and walked towards Yan Mountain.

Just as the four of them left Dragon City and headed toward Yan Mountain, two figures at the Immortal Sage Level watched the group's receding figures with a flash of murderous intent in their eyes. One of them wore a triumphant smile and said, "Dragon City has many eyes and ears; I was worried about how to kill them. And yet, they are actually going towards Yan Mountain... Haha, they are truly seeking their own deaths!"

"Hmph, don't underestimate this Wang Xiaoqiang. The little fellow is as cunning as a fox. We must hurry and follow them..." the other Immortal Sage said with a serious and cautious face before they quickly went on their way.

After stepping out of Dragon City, Wang Xiaoqiang released his Divine Sense to be aware of the movements behind them.

At that moment, he detected two strong individuals at the Immortal Sage Level trailing them. Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes flashed, and he said to the three, "Someone is following us. For your safety, I have to take you into the Sumeru Ring now."

Seeing all three nod, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately took the two women of the Yans Family and True Person of Taiyi into the Sumeru Ring.

At the same time, he released Little Qing from the ring.

After Little Qing came out of the ring, she exhaled a long breath of stale air, her gaze flitting about. Upon realizing they were within Yan Mountain, she said in surprise, "Eh? Master, how come we have returned to Yan Mountain?"

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Little Qing, someone is trying to kill me. We must find a hidden place to hide for now..."

After thinking for a moment, Little Qing said, "Master, I have a clean cave abode. How about we hide there?"

"That would be excellent!" Wang Xiaoqiang nodded in response.

"Come, Master, climb onto my back. I'll carry you, and we'll move faster this way..." Little Qing said, bending down.

Without a word, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately leaned onto Little Qing, his hands clinging to her jade neck,

Then, with a flick of her tail, Little Qing swiftly wove through the thicket...

Their speed was two to three times faster than walking.

Suddenly, Little Qing carried Wang Xiaoqiang into a cave abode.

The entrance of this cave abode was tiny, covered with green vines, and extremely concealed. The space inside was quite large and also very clean.

Upon entering the cave, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately released all of the Five Elements Spiritual Spring from within his body. At that moment, he appeared to have no cultivation base and seemed like a mortal.

Just then, two figures flew over the top of the mountain where the cave was situated. These were the two Immortal Sages who were after Wang Xiaoqiang.

The two Immortal Sages released their Divine Senses vigorously, and two great presences swept across the skies above the mountain with the cave. Finding no abnormalities, the two Immortal Sages continued on their way.

Flight across Yan Mountain was fraught with danger, but this area was on the fringe of the mountain range where the Spirit Beasts were of a lower level. Moreover, these two were strong at the Immortal Sage Level, so they weren't afraid of the flying beasts.

Inside the cave abode.

After sensing the great Divine Sense gliding over the cave, Little Qing's heart throbbed uneasily, "Master, those two have strong cultivation bases. Could they discover us?"

Wang Xiaoqiang smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry; they are searching by sensing Spiritual Energy Waves. Look at me, do I have any Spiritual Power fluctuations?"

Little Qing sensed for a moment but couldn't detect any Spiritual Power waves emanating from Wang Xiaoqiang. She exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? Master, your cultivation... You haven't, you haven't dispersed your power, have you?!"

"Of course not!"

Wang Xiaoqiang sat cross-legged on a couch in the cave abode, his expression turned serious as he fixed his gaze on Little Qing and said, "Little Qing, don't ask too much about this. It's not good for you to know too much about my affairs."

Little Qing obediently nodded her head, not daring to ask further. With a swish of her tail, she reached the desk in the cave abode and took out some fruits stored in the cave to entertain Wang Xiaoqiang.

In the fruit plate, there were grapes, apples, bananas… a rich variety.

Wang Xiaoqiang took out a jar of thousand-year fine wine from the Sumeru Ring and started eating the fruits with it.

Little Qing stood by his side like a maid.

Wang Xiaoqiang pointed to the couch and said, "Little Qing, come sit."

Little Qing settled down beside Wang Xiaoqiang. He glanced at her and noticed that her body had changed a bit: the snake part had grown shorter, and the human part longer.

Under Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze, Little Qing appeared somewhat restrained, her face bearing a happy smile.

She liked this feeling, feeling as if she were a mortal woman, quietly waiting on the man she loved, finding it very warm and content.

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Little Qing, you don't have to be restrained in front of me. Come on, you eat too..."

As he spoke, he brought a purple-red grape to Little Qing's red lips.

Little Qing smiled sweetly and swallowed the purple grape, saying, "Master, let me feed you!"

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang nod, Little Qing extended her jade hand, picked a grape, placed it between her red lips, and then fed it to Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth.

This way of feeding, just like how the two ladies from the Yans Family fed Wang Xiaoqiang wine, was very sensual and exciting.

Just then, above the cave abode, two great divine senses glided by.

It was the two Immortal Sages who had been pursuing Wang Xiaoqiang; upon failing to find him, they had returned following the same route,

and after a round trip, they still hadn't found Wang Xiaoqiang, which left them frustrated.

These two Immortal Sage level experts were former leaders under Prince Ann's command. They had received orders from Prince Ann to kill Wang Xiaoqiang, and to avoid exposing themselves, Prince Ann had instructed them not to make contact with him.

"What's going on?" One of the Immortal Sages landed and said strangely, "This kid couldn't have run that fast, could he?"

"Yeah, we are capable of Skyflight, and Wang Xiaoqiang, with the Onefold Body of the Immortal Venerable, would never dare to fly in Yan Mountain. He's on foot, we're flying; we should not be unable to find him."

"Even if he used Skyflight, he couldn't have escaped the range of our divine senses."

"Alas, what should we do? Should we report back to Prince Ann?"

"Have you forgotten Prince Ann's orders? Whether we succeed or fail, we are not allowed to contact him."

"Sigh, then let's search again."

So the two Immortal Sages once again took to the sky, exerting their divine senses to the utmost, searching meticulously.

While the two Immortal Sages were hard at work searching for Wang Xiaoqiang, Wang Xiaoqiang was lying in Little Qing's arms, enjoying being fed from her delicate mouth.

Wang Xiaoqiang and Little Qing began living a happy life in the cave abode.

Having Wang Xiaoqiang all to herself was sheer joy for Little Qing, and she took care of him comfortably every day.

To evade pursuit, Wang Xiaoqiang dared not practice cultivation for the past three days. During this time, he had been resting. With fruits and food available in the cave abode and thousand-year fine wine in the Sumeru Ring, combined with Little Qing's meticulous care, Wang Xiaoqiang spent three days like an immortal.
