"None?"
Han Xing was sowhat puzzled, "Didn’t you say your man is part of the managent of Divine Whisper? It’s such a big team, and he can’t even get a single bottle of Life Secret Elixir?"
Zhang Lianng replied, "Well, he told that the Life Secret Elixir is a rather rare item, and he doesn’t have many bottles on hand..."
"Recently, he just reunited with his team, saying they’re about to challenge a Two-Star Secret Realm. The team mbers are in need of elixirs right now, and my injury is just minor. A couple of days’ rest and I’ll be fine..."
Zhang Lianng lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.
Han Xing looked at her strangely and asked, "Is your relationship with your man not good? Your fiancée is hurt and he won’t even offer a bottle of Life Secret Elixir?"
This question was sharp, seemingly piercing Zhang Lianng’s heart. Her delicate figure trembled slightly, making it hard for her to speak.
Han Xing observed and said, "If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to."
Zhang Lianng raised her pitiful face, bitterly smiled and shook her head, "It’s not that the relationship is bad, it’s just that we’re not familiar with each other..."
"He and I... we t through relatives and friends. Altogether, we’ve only seen each other less than twice. The engagent was to fulfill family duties..."
"After that, he’s been solely focused on his career and has never sought out. I thought to myself, we don’t know each other well yet, we should take ti to understand each other."
"But not long after, we ended up in this world..."
After hearing Zhang Lianng’s story, Han Xing suddenly asked with an odd expression, "Is your fiancé... incapable?"
"Huh?" Zhang Lianng seed not to understand the aning behind Han Xing’s words.
"Never mind, it’s nothing." Han Xing shook his head.
After speaking, Han Xing pulled out a bottle of Life Secret Elixir and casually tossed it to her.
Zhang Lianng instinctively reached out to catch it.
When she saw the attributes of the elixir on the system introduction, her little mouth ford an ’O’ shape in shock.
Han Xing gestured forward, "Drink it quickly and recover. We still need to carry out tasks, and I don’t want you dragging down due to injury."
Zhang Lianng tightly gripped the elixir, nodding heavily, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Being a few years older than Han Xing, Zhang Lianng seed to understand his character, knowing he wasn’t one to act coy.
Thus, she drank the elixir directly in front of him.
In the next mont, she felt a warm burst of energy spreading in her stomach, causing waves of warmth throughout her body.
Especially at the site of the injury, a tingling numbness made her almost cry out.
"Mmm..."
A suppressed voice mixed with so delight erged from her back.
Huh? What’s that sound?
Han Xing suddenly turned around, eyes wide, staring at her.
Zhang Lianng realized her loss of composure, hurriedly covering her mouth, yet the feeling of heat continued to rise within her.
She tried hard not to make a sound, squeezing her legs together and rubbing them while pressing her mouth with one hand and her injury with the other.
This tender, pitiful appearance made Han Xing, a passionate young man, feel his blood rush, and his mouth went dry and tongue thick.
Han Xing quickly turned his head, coughing twice.
"Cough, cough, recover and rest early, we need to start traveling early tomorrow."
"Mmm...mm..."
Zhang Lianng struggled to control her voice, but she didn’t realize that the more she suppressed it, the stranger it sounded.
Han Xing quickly fled into his castle.
Behind him.
After so restraint, Zhang Lianng finally felt the restorative effect of the Life Secret Elixir ending.
She slowly exhaled, sitting on the ground drenched in sweat, her tight magic robe soaked, even revealing her magnificent outline, her snow-white skin faintly visible.
At this mont, Zhang Lianng looked at the grand castle in Han Xing’s domain, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and blinked in curiosity.
But she didn’t ask more, returning obediently to her own domain.
In the center of Zhang Lianng’s domain, there was a simple tent made from sticks and fabric, where she usually rested.
Night deepened.
Zhang Lianng lay down on a grass mat and fell asleep, though she seed to dream of a man’s figure.
...
Early the next day.
Zhang Lianng heard soone outside the tent calling her.
She poked her head out to see Han Xing sitting on a rock nearby, quietly waiting.
Since their territories had rged, Han Xing could freely visit her domain.
Blushing, Zhang Lianng seed embarrassed by being seen waking up by a man.
However, Han Xing asked seriously, "Yesterday you ntioned your man is going to challenge a Two-Star Secret Realm soon?"
Waking up in the morning, Han Xing suddenly rembered the woman said last night that the Divine Whisper Team was preparing to challenge a Two-Star Secret Realm, catching Han Xing’s attention.
Even he had struggled through a One-Star Secret Realm.
Could the top tier of the Divine Whisper Team have reached such a level?
But he thought about it and decided it was unlikely.
One-Star Secret Realms already have high difficulty; Two-Star Secret Realms would be exceedingly difficult. At this stage, few teams could conquer them.
Even if attempted, they would likely face considerable casualties.
Hence, he approached the woman and said, "Friendly reminder, if you want to see your man again, tell him not to attempt the Two-Star Secret Realm."
"Huh? Why?" Zhang Lianng seed quite puzzled.
"Because they’ll die." Han Xing said succinctly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lianng’s face imdiately turned pale. She didn’t doubt the man before her; his powerful abilities had already proven the point.
He wouldn’t lie about such matters.
Zhang Lianng hurriedly sent a ssage to her fiancé.
A mont later, Han Xing noticed her face beca extrely grim.
"What did he say?"
Zhang Lianng hesitated, stamring, "He... he said what does a woman like know? The strength of the Divine Whisper Team is very strong, they won’t fail the challenge, and told not to bother him these days."
Saying this, Zhang Lianng seed imnsely aggrieved, growing even more disappointed with her unknown fiancé.
Han Xing spread his hands, "Good intentions can’t persuade stubborn ghosts."
He only casually ntioned it, offering a kind reminder, whether they wanted to listen was up to them.
Zhang Lianng didn’t know what else to do.
Han Xing shook his head, "Since he doesn’t want to listen, let’s not bother. Get ready, we need to move on."
"Hope he survives..."
Zhang Lianng hesitated, sighed, and seed lost in thought.
After waking the woman, Han Xing returned to his domain to continue heading to the destination.
Six hours later, the two traveled over 600 kiloters, continuously avoiding large clouds without pausing.
Finally, in the afternoon, they arrived at their destination.
A colossal floating island appeared before them.
This Sky Island was a true island, as large as a mountain.
It wasn’t obscured by clouds, allowing a clear view inside.
It was covered with flowers, trees, and various plants.
Occasionally, bird flocks flew out from the forest.
This was Han Xing’s first ti seeing such a strange Sky Island; it seed like a world from a fairy tale.
This place didn’t seem to be a monster’s domain, as even when Han Xing approached, there was no system warning.
Han Xing, puzzled, controlled his domain to approach, then fixed the island’s position, leading Zhang Lianng into the forest.
Just upon landing, Han Xing felt the ground was soft, likely due to years of fallen leaves. Walking on it produced a rustling sound.
