"Go inside, you stupid elf."
The last slave trader shoved the elf inside the glowing cave. It was the little blue water inside that made it this bright.
The slave trader eyed her sumptuous body, but he didn't feel a tingle between his legs. Was it because he knew someone was coming for his life?
"You better hide your presence if you don't want to get killed," said Lan Bai, pressing the knife he held against the elf's throat.
A little cut was formed. "I'm not kidding," Lan Bai grunted, pressing the knife even harder, until the elf finally listened.
Xuan, who was tracking them from behind, suddenly felt lost. He squatted on top of a tree branch, wondering why he suddenly lost her scent.
He had lost it earlier than now, but he was still picking up a few scents until it finally faded out completely.
"Ah shit, he must have threatened to kill her then," Xuan sighed, jumping down from the tree branch.
Instead of landing on the smooth floor, something like a pointed rock hit Xuan, causing him to leap with one leg while yelping.
"What the fuck... ouuuch, wait."
It was the royal seal he saw on the elf's arm earlier. He picked it up and marveled at the golden arm bracelet. A big tree was perfectly carved on it.
"Guess I've been on the right track," Xuan smiled. "And these clues would only mean the princess wants my lil thing," Xuan jumped out with joy.
"That guy said it was a cave, so I'll just have to keep moving to hard ground. Yes, that's it."
Xuan burst out with his legs. Maybe it was because these are new bones, because his speed was definitely not like a normal human's.
Even a spirit combustion cultivator could not leap from tree to tree like he was doing.
Instead of moving this low, Xuan increased his jumping rate and began leaping high above the trees, where he saw the cave.
Leaps upon leaps, he was very high, chasing birds from their nests as if he were some Tarzan.
Finally, he landed on a big tree vine close to the cave. Xuan dropped his medicine bag on top of the tree and jumped down perfectly.
Not a sound was made by his foot. The cave was in front of him. However, something felt off.
Bam'
The ground beneath his feet was now flying in mid-air. Lan Bai's fist wasn't one to joke with, as it would have killed Xuan if he hadn't jumped back quickly.
"Alright, so what's your plan? Beat me?" Lan Bai asked, cracking his knuckles.
He highly believed the chances of Xuan winning this fight were zero to none.
"It's that bead he's wearing. Fuck," Xuan cursed, pissed off now.
He tried pausing Lan Bai, but the guy had his own charm. A fat bead necklace he wore was something Xuan had read about.
The use was to bounce off unseen attacks, like time. So Xuan's little trick wasn't in this fight.
It's a spirit combustion stage 01 against martial realm stage 03. He's so dead.
"What? Your little magic isn't working on me, is it nooooow!!!"
Lan Bai yelled and ferociously dashed at Xuan, his muscular veined arms spread out to catch and squash him.
However, although he was lucky, Xuan had quickly squatted and rolled under his legs. Then Lan Bai hugged a big tree instead.
"Rhaaaa!!!" Lan Bai yelled, and with little effort, the tree was broken short, with the long part falling heavy to the ground.
"Wait... I have my own charm," Xuan recalled, and just stood there smiling. It pisses everybody off, that composed smile of his.
"I'm gonna tear that smile off your pretty face, you fiiiish!!!"
Lan Bai dashed forward again, but this time threw his fist out. In the next moment—boom—both Xuan and Lan Bai were sent skidding meters away from each other.
Xuan had trusted the cube with his life just now, and it didn't fail him. However, it seemed Lan Bai's charm repelled the other effect.
Instead of his attack backfiring, it just seemed as if Xuan and Lan Bai connected fists, which sent them skidding meters away.
"What? How can a spirit stage 01 master a defense art as strong as that?"
Lan Bai stood his ground, while Xuan had his hand behind his back. He sighed.
"Has anyone ever told you that fucking smile of yours will get you killed?" Lan Bai gritted his teeth, bumped his fists, and was about to attack—that is, until...
"Think of your next move properly," said Xuan, overconfident and composed, as he rose Lan Bai's charm up in his hands.
Moments ago, when Xuan had trusted the cube with his life, before the explosion sent them away, Xuan had managed to scratch the bead away from his neck without him realizing.
And Lan Bai stood still. He was really getting pissed off by that smile.
"Lan Bai, you're strong, but in the face of true power, you're nothing."
The words were close—no, just when did Xuan appear to be standing beside him? Lan Bai could have sworn he was staring at his bead.
But no, Xuan was beside him, with his knife placed on his throat. So this was the true power the charm was saving him from.
He could have used that chance to escape, but it was far too late for that now. Lan Bai's head bounced on the ground, accompanied by the sound of his falling body in his pool of blood.
Gasp'
Xuan's head quickly turned toward the sound of the elf inside the cave.
"Hmph," he scoffed and entered the blue shining cave. There, he saw the elf was already naked.
Her naked body, the breasts and pink nipples, those thick thighs got his mouth watering, and something between his legs saying, Hi, I'm awake.
"Well, you'll have to compensate me for those troubles."
Although the elf already knew what Xuan meant, she kept silent and wanted to know. "How may I?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Xuan smiled. He saw her smile as well.
The elf went further and entered the blue pool, placing her hands on the end and pointing her big, expensive bum bum to Xuan. She muttered,
"Will this do?"
And when Xuan's black robe fell of his body, her eyes seemed bigger than her head. "So big"
