"Thank you."
Yang Ze was the first one to break the silence, and the first words that came out of his mouth were thanking Lin Meilin.
Regardless of circumstances, the truth remained that she had helped him two times already.
For a woman of her stature to lower herself to help him by putting her breast in his mouth... It shouldn't have been easy.
Although he didn't know if it was milk that she fed him or something else, one thing was certain... What she fed him was incomparably precious.
After all, he hadn't heard of something that could turn internal energy and veins golden. Not to mention that he had reached the extreme of first Vein and could strengthen his second Vein now at any moment.
Such speed of progression... It wouldn't have been surprising if he did it under the influence of Enlightenemnt. But it was something that was done with the help of that liquid.
Just how heaven-defying that thing must have been to let him advance almost to the second vein expansion realm from the peak of foundation forging.
"You are welcome." Lin Meilin replied with an embarrassed face as she lowered her head.
'Still pretending?' Even though Yang Ze was aware of her identity, he didn't call her out.
Lin Meilin, on the other hand, had guessed that Yang Ze was aware of her identity by now due to his vein turning golden. When it happened in the Blue-Faced tribe, Yang Ze was unconscious.
But now that he was awake and aware of the changes in his body, it was easy for him to piece together what happened and come to a conclusion.
But neither of them pointed it out.
Lin Meilin still played the role of the young lady who couldn't cultivate and was out of the trade mission, and Yang Ze played the role of the Young Hero, saving her life before being saved by her.
"If you don't mind me asking..." Yang Ze asked with some hesitation. "What was it that I drank?"
Just because Yang Ze was pretending not to know her identity doesn't mean that he didn't want to know what it was that he drank. The action of Lin Meilin putting her breast in his mouth was so shocking that he was still having a hard time coming to terms with it.
Listening to Yang Ze's question, Lin Meilin's face flushed red, but Yang Ze didn't know whether it was her true feeling or merely pretentious ones.
"Does the Young hero really want to know?" After some hesitation, Lin Meilin asked while playing with the corner of her dress.
"Only if you are willing to share." Yang Ze replied without batting an eye.
"In that case..." Lin Meilin hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth in response as if she had made up her mind.
"It was Nectar Of Life." Lin Meilin's words merely made Yang Ze nod in response.
Although he didn't know what the so-called Nectar of Life was, judging by the fact that how it healed him and even turned his internal energy as well as one of the veins golden, it was definitely something extraordinary. Once he reached the Tianxu trade zone, he would definitely try to find out more about it.
"As expected." Lin Meilin wasn't surprised by his lack of reaction. There were only a handful of people in this world who actually knew what the Nectar of Life was, and only two people besides her who knew that her breasts produced it.
"So..." Tilting her head slightly, she asked with a smile. "What is the young hero going to do now?"
"...."
Yang Ze didn't reply but took a look at her once again before shaking his head in response.
"Nothing."
"We will just head to the Tianxu trade zone so that I can buy what I want and then head to the locations that I asked you about."
"Mmm..." Lin Meilin merely nodded in response as she once again began to tend to the campfire while softly humming a gentle tune.
Beside her, Yang Ze simply lay down on the grass, as his eyes looked at the starry sky.
Everything happened so fast and so suddenly that he didn't even have time to think about it.
From walking out of the Sword Sect to meeting Lin Meilin to getting ambushed by the wolf and finally fighting the demonic beasts... everything happened so suddenly.
But that wasn't all... His dream, or should he say his subconscious mind, where he argued with his mother and for the first time stood up against her, refusing her excuses and standing up for himself... It was something that he never thought he would be able to do.
Compared to it all... the so-called Nectar Of Life wasn't even worth mentioning.
"And then there was she..." thinking about the young face that he saw in the pitch-black sea, Yang Ze's heart trembled as he clenched his fists tightly. He didn't even dare to think about it. He could only look around before focusing his gaze on Lin Meilin, who was slowly stirring the pot.
For a moment, Yang Ze's eyes went into a daze as he looked at her.
He couldn't help but wonder if this was what his life could have been.
Coming to this new world... meeting new people... falling in love with someone and then going on a long journey as they spend their time together under the starry sky just like this... It was something that Yang Ze had always dreamed about after coming to this world.
Even though he successfully managed to find love in this new world after some difficulties, he still didn't think Cang Yue would accompany him like this.
Yang Ze knew that she wanted revenge and to kill her mother with her own hands.
And as her lover and future companion, he certainly wishes for her to get what she wants. But Yang Ze was afraid that in doing so, he might lose her forever.
"I will try to have a talk with her once I go back." Regardless of the outcome, Yang Ze had decided to have a conversation about their future once he finished evolving the Spiritwing.
Making up his mind, Yang Ze just silently observed the stars.
--------------
The next day, both Yang Ze and Lin Meilin continued their journey to the Tianxu Trading Zone.
But compared to the last time, there was less awkwardness between the two of them. They would occasionally chatter with each other. Sometimes Yang Ze would speak, and Lin Meilin would listen, while other times Lin Meilin would speak, and Yang Ze would answer.
The scene between the two of them was growing increasingly harmonious.
As for the matter of Lin Meilin putting her breast in Yang Ze's mouth... The two of them tactfully decided not to mention this matter and bury it completely.
Though Yang Ze was still somewhat nervous that they might be attacked by some wild Demonic Beast, with Lin Meilin by his side, his sense of urgency and danger decreased by a large amount.
Thankfully, there weren't any demonic beasts that attacked the two of them out of nowhere.
Slowly, but steadily, the two of them continued their journey and after two days of travelling... they finally reached their destination.
"This is the Tianxu Trading Zone?" Looking at the place in front of him, Yang Ze was speechless.
Before coming here, he had imagined the Tianxu Trading Zone to be a miraculous place with luxuries all around. But this...
The scene in front of him looked like he had returned back to Earth and was standing in a fish market.
The so-called Tianxu Trading Zone was located in a large grassland. But there weren't any large city walls or luxurious pavilions.
Other than a few delicate buildings, the rest of the buildings were rather crude, as if made in a hurry.
But that was not all.
Other than the mission city walls, there weren't even any guards.
The constant flux of people would enter and exit from all directions, making it seem like a chaotic place.
For a moment, he couldn't help but turn to look at Lin Meilin, wondering if they were at the right place or not.
"Hehe..." Lin Meilin, as if sensing his confusion, just chuckled in response.
"What are you thinking about?" Even though she already knew what Yang Ze was thinking about, she still asked him.
"Where..." Pointing towards the scene in front of him, Yang Ze asked in some disbelief. "Where is the city wall?"
"Where are the guards?"
"Are we even at the correct place?"
Speaking the last sentence, Yang Ze took out the map from his robe and checked it for a long time. But no matter how many times he checked it, his current location was exactly that of Tianxu Trade Zone.
"Why is there any need for the city wall and the guards?" Lin Meilin merely shook her head with a laugh.
"Everyone here is a strong cultivator. Even if demonic beasts attacked... they would turn into materials and resources before being put up for sale here."
"As for guards..."
"Although there aren't any, this place has its own way of security and handling troubles."
"You will know once you enter."
With a mysterious smile, Lin Meilin slowly took her carriage towards the market.
Yang Ze, at the moment, was completely engrossed in watching the scene around him.
Numerous cultivators would pass alongside their carriage. The majority of them didn't even bother to look at them. Though there were a few glances in their direction, those people, after looking at the carriage and the mortal woman, just ignored them.
As their carriage neared the market, Yang Ze could feel the liveliness and the bustle of the market. It was as if he had travelled back to Earth.
The similar scenes of haggling, people comparing prices, and even people promoting their business... it all felt so similar.
And just when the carriage was about to enter the trading zone, Yang Ze suddenly felt that they had passed through an invisible layer and at the same time, a small token suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of him.
"This!?" Yang Ze's eyes widened in shock. He didn't know how or where this thing came from.
He looked at Lin Meilin beside him, who was merely smiling at him while playing with a similar wooden token in her hand.
Sensing his confusion, she merely smiled before explaining it to him.
"This Tianxu Trading Zone is enveloped in a formation."
"Everyone who enters here would go through this formation and get their respective identity token."
"If you caused some trouble within the trading zone, you will be blacklisted, and the next time you try to enter this place, a bounty will be issued for you."
"Do you understand now why there is no security?"
Although Yang Ze couldn't understand it fully, he still nodded in response while observing the token in his hand.
But after looking at the token for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses and almost slapped himself in the face.
"How can I forget about the most important thing?"
This place, which was filled with cultivators... this was the perfect place for him to use his sign-in cheat to get as many talents as possible.
With a heart full of excitement, Yang Ze's eyes gleamed in happiness as he looked around him like a hungry wolf looking at a bunch of sheep.
Without any hesitation, he immediately used the system to look at the personal panel of the people around him.
And just the first panel he saw of the man walking around almost made him drop his jaw in shock...
