"Are you interested in that Ruolan? I saw you staring right at her, and she's so beautiful!" Zhang Xinlan said, a hint of displeasure in her voice.
Ye Tian chuckled. "Heh, are you getting jealous? She's beautiful, sure, but compared to you, she still falls a little short. What's wrong? Don't have any confidence in yourself?"
"No, why would I be jealous? It's not like I'm your anything right now. You can be with whoever you want; it's none of my business!" Zhang Xinlan said. 'Still, hearing him call beautiful is so sweet.'
"I seem to recall soone saying they had a marriage contract with . Who was it that said she'd be my woman sooner or later? Thinking of backing out now? How about we get a room tonight? I can just devour you and put an end to all this worrying," Ye Tian teased.
"In your dreams! Unfortunately for you, I refuse. Not unless you have a death wish," Zhang Xinlan said. "Even though you've broken through to the Five Veins Realm, we still can't... do that. It's just as dangerous as before! My own Power Realm has increased, so the risk has increased along with it. A rising tide lifts all boats, as they say."
'Ye Tian understood her perfectly. To completely cure her hidden ailnt, he had to raise his own strength until it was at least equal to her Realm. Besides, now wasn't the right ti.'
"Yeah, I get it. Let's eat up. We'll head back to our rooms and get so rest soon. We'll see the results tomorrow," Ye Tian said.
After eating for a little longer, Ye Tian got them two rooms. Without another word, they both went back to rest.
Lying on his bed, Ye Tian sent his Divine Sense into his Storage Ring. The matter with Ye Bing was still unresolved. Once he entered the Imperial City Academy, it would be very difficult to get away. It was a real dilemma.
If it weren't for the Eldest Prince and his n hunting him, he would have already found a place to help Ye Bing with her Thunder Tribulation. Now, with only a day left, he truly didn't know what to do.
"Big Brother, you're here! I'm almost ready. When are you going to help with my Thunder Tribulation? I can't wait to go adventuring out in the world with you!" Ye Bing's voice echoed.
"What did you prepare? Can you tell ?" Ye Tian asked resignedly. "This Thunder Tribulation has to be done in a deserted place. Our current location isn't suitable, but I'll figure sothing out as soon as I can."
Just then, Ye Bing appeared before Ye Tian. Her form was as hazy as ever; she looked like a shifting mass of mist, epheral and uncertain.
"You'll find out when the ti cos. Preparing it consud a great deal of my Innate Profound Ice Qi, but if it ans I can be with you, Big Brother, I think it's worth it! I really hope you can hurry up! I'm getting a little impatient!" said Ye Bing.
Ye Tian's brow furrowed slightly. "Ye Bing, after you pass the Thunder Tribulation, will you only be able to appear in human form?" This was his biggest worry. 'Once I enter the Imperial City Academy, I can't possibly have Ye Bing following around.'
"I can follow you as the Profound Ice Pearl, or I can follow you in human form," Ye Bing explained. "When it's convenient, I'll take on my human form. When it's not, I'll just revert to the Profound Ice Pearl. Are you worried I'll be a hindrance to you?"
"To be honest, your Sister Xinlan and I are planning to enter the Imperial City Academy. There's sothing we need there, so bringing you along might be inconvenient. But if you can revert to the Profound Ice Pearl, then there's no problem at all. In that case, how about I help you with your Thunder Tribulation tonight?" Ye Tian said.
"That's for you to arrange, Big Brother. But the Thunder Tribulation must happen sowhere remote. This is the Imperial City, so it's definitely not possible here. You'll have to choose the location carefully!" Ye Bing said.
After a mont's thought, Ye Tian said, "I understand. Don't worry, I'll take you now! Let's hope we both make it back safely. If sothing unexpected happens... we'll just have to accept our fate."
Ye Tian imdiately withdrew his Divine Sense. He opened his door and went to Zhang Xinlan's room. "Xinlan, co out! I need to discuss sothing with you!"
Zhang Xinlan wasn't asleep. She was lying in bed, 'wishing soone was there to hold her. That soone, of course, was Ye Tian. But for now, it was just a fantasy. That day still felt so very far away.'
Hearing Ye Tian's voice, Zhang Xinlan imdiately got up and opened the door. "What is it? You're not... thinking of doing sothing, are you? Now's not the ti! You'll just have to hold back!"
"I can't hold back anymore! I want to do it tonight! What do you say?" Ye Tian said with a perfectly straight face.
"Tonight? Tonight's really not possible," Zhang Xinlan said, her face flushing bright red. "I... I'd like to, but it's a bad ti for . I got my period this morning! So just forget about it. Besides, your power still isn't high enough. Even if it were a good ti, I wouldn't want to risk it."
This was the first ti she had ever told a man about her period. Even though he was the man she loved, she was still mortified.
Ye Tian blinked, stunned for a mont, before breaking into a laugh. "You've misunderstood! That's not what I ca to talk about! I want to find a place to help Ye Bing with her Thunder Tribulation tonight. In the rush to get to the Imperial City, I completely forgot about it! It'll be a huge hassle to leave once we're in the Imperial City Academy!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xinlan's face turned an even deeper shade of crimson. 'I can't believe I thought he wanted to... sleep with tonight. I got all worked up for nothing, and now he knows I'm on my period! I could just die of embarrassnt!'
"Oh, so that's what this is about!" Zhang Xinlan said, quickly composing herself. "Have you thought of a location? Ti is tight, so we need to leave the Imperial City quickly. Rember, we can't fly over it!"
"I don't have a specific location in mind. We'll have to figure it out once we're outside the Imperial City. At our speed, finding a suitable mountain shouldn't be too hard. There's no ti to lose, let's go! I just hope we can get back in ti after helping Ye Bing with her Thunder Tribulation," Ye Tian said.
The two imdiately left the inn and headed for the gates of the Imperial City. After a while, they were finally outside the walls. They continued along the main road on foot until they reached a deserted area, where they finally took to the sky.
"Hold on," Zhang Xinlan said. "Let see if I can find a suitable spot."
'Ye Tian knew she was using her Divine Sense to scan the area. Her Divine Sense was a bit stronger than his; she could probably survey for hundreds of miles.'
After a mont, Zhang Xinlan said, "There's a valley about a hundred and fifty miles from here. It's a good spot. It's surrounded by a dense miasma, so basically no one ever goes there. We'll just need to take so Antitoxic dicine."
"I don't need any, but you should take so," Ye Tian said. "Let's head there now. I'm afraid we'll run out of ti if we delay."
And so, the two of them flew quickly toward the valley. A dangerous tribulation was about to begin.
