Chapter 41: Empathy
After Linghu Changkong swore, Murong Kun said ominously, "Linghu Changkong, eighty million Low-Grade Spirit Stones is not a small amount. To avoid you not being able to come up with it later, I advise you to gather them as soon as possible during this month!"
With that, Murong Kun turned and left.
Once Murong Kun was far away, Linghu Changkong felt a surge of joy and chuckled softly, "What an idiot!"
In his eyes, Mu Mengyi clearly had feelings for Tan Yun. During this month, she would definitely stay close to him; even if Murong Kun personally led people to attack, they wouldn’t be able to kill Tan Yun!
On the last day of the month, Ye Tian could take Tan Yun's life on the Duel Platform.
Linghu Changkong had set a trap for Murong Kun, killing one person while gaining immense wealth—truly a win-win situation!
Of course, Linghu Changkong would immediately inform Ye Tian, instructing him not to let the news of the duel with Tan Yun leak out. The goal was to prevent Murong Kun from learning his intentions ahead of time!
...
While Linghu Changkong was feeling pleased with himself, Murong Kun couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "Linghu Changkong, you underestimate me too much! Even if Mu Mengyi guards Tan Yun, I still have ways to make him die!"
...
As both of them harbored their own schemes, Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi had already left the Hidden Dragon Rankings and were walking along an ancient and atmospheric street filled with spiritual mist.
Although they had long since let go of each other's hands, a peculiar sweetness filled their hearts.
Mu Mengyi's cheeks were flushed, her demeanor shy, and Tan Yun couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, making Mu Mengyi's face even redder and her heart race.
Could it be that this girl likes me?
Tan Yun stared at Mu Mengyi, thinking to himself.
Mu Mengyi, feeling a little flustered, playfully asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
"Uh, cough cough, I was just thinking of eating..." Tan Yun almost blurted out "you" but quickly changed his words, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat some wild game? Come on, I'll get it for you now."
Mu Mengyi felt sweet as honey, shaking her head lightly as she looked at Tan Yun, "There's plenty of time for that. In the future, you can cook for me often, but right now, your priority should be to heal."
"Yeah, that's true." Tan Yun smiled slightly and then headed to Mu Mengyi's pavilion with her.
Xue Ziyan, understanding the situation, followed closely behind them.
"Senior Sister Mu..." Tan Yun seemed to think of something, but Mu Mengyi quietly interrupted him, "We’ve shared life and death together; calling me 'senior sister' feels distant. Just call me Mengyi."
"Okay." Tan Yun readily agreed and asked, "Mengyi, I remember you said last time that there were no fire seeds for sale in the Outer Sect Market. Do you know the highest grade of sword-type magic treasures sold there?"
Mu Mengyi pondered for a moment, "Tan Yun, since we spirit胎 realm practitioners can't exert the true power of Spirit Tool Flying Swords until we advance to the fetal soul realm, most shops in the Outer Sect Market only sell Supreme Spirit Weapons, maximum being the high-grade spiritual sword."
"However, there is a shop called 'Immortal Sword Pavilion' that sells some ordinary Low-Grade Spirit Weapon Flying Swords to satisfy the vanity of wealthy disciples. As for attribute Low-Grade Spirit Weapon Flying Swords, they are not available."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun, who urgently needed a weapon and was eager to enter seclusion to cultivate, looked at Mu Mengyi and said, "Mengyi, I want to enter seclusion as soon as possible. Can you help me buy a Low-Grade Spirit Weapon Flying Sword?"
"Tan Yun, a Low-Grade Spirit Weapon Flying Sword is of no use to you at your current level, except that it’s a bit sharper than a Supreme Spirit Weapon. Plus, it’s very expensive. Why would you buy it?" Mu Mengyi asked, puzzled.
"I just want something sharp, that's all." Tan Yun recalled the scene of his battle with Ye Tian.
