Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Zhang Xiaofan listened to Zhou Yixian's instructions, bowed respectfully, and said:
"Thank you for your advice, senior. I will be careful and cautious."

"Then I'm relieved!" Zhou Yixian stroked his long white beard and stared at Zhang Xiaofan with satisfaction.

Even now, Zhang Xiaofan's strength has surpassed his, yet he still treats him with such respect and courtesy, which is truly rare.

Zhou Yixian slung his luggage over his shoulder, grasped the Immortal's Guiding Flag in his left hand, looked at Xiao Huan who was reluctant to leave, and said:

"Xiao Huan, Zhang Xiaofan is going to kill the Beast God next. It's not convenient for us to go. Let's leave the Ten Thousand Mountains and head towards the Central Plains."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huan looked at Zhang Xiaofan with a reluctant expression, and then said:

"Grandpa, we just arrived in Southern Xinjiang, we haven't even had a chance to explore yet, why do we have to go back to Central China so soon..."

Zhou Yixian pointed to the dried corpses of beasts and monsters scattered all around and said:
“Zhang Xiaofan will protect us tonight, but he can’t be distracted while he’s slaying the Beast God. If he’s facing those endless Beast Gods, he’ll swallow you whole…”

"Ah?" Xiao Huan was startled, a scene flashing through her mind of being swallowed into the ferocious maw of a beast demon and then being torn apart inside...

Fear immediately flashed across her beautiful face. She patted the now enormous evil spirit, then looked at Zhang Xiaofan with reluctance and said:

"Brother Xiaofan, Xiaohuan is leaving. Don't forget Xiaohuan."

Zhang Xiaofan gently patted Xiao Huan's head, smiled, and said softly:
"Don't worry, I won't forget Little Huan."

"That's good." Xiao Huan smiled contentedly, then suddenly remembered something, pointed behind Zhang Xiaofan, and said:

"Brother Xiaofan, look what that is?"

Zhang Xiaofan sensed it and found nothing, but in order to cooperate with Xiao Huan, he turned his head to look.

Suddenly, Xiao Huan jumped lightly and kissed Zhang Xiaofan on the cheek, then immediately turned to look at Zhou Yixian and said:
"Grandpa, let's go quickly!"

After saying that, he walked forward.

Zhou Yixian paused for a moment, looked at Xiao Huan's flushed cheeks, shook his head with a smile, stroked his white beard, and said:

"Let's go, let's go now!"

Zhang Xiaofan touched his cheek; it was still slightly warm.

Watching Xiao Huan walk further and further away, I smiled...

"Tsk tsk... tsk tsk..." At this moment, the sound of Jin Ping'er smacking her lips came from the side.

Jin Ping'er glanced at Xiao Huan, who was walking shyly in the distance, then looked at Zhang Xiaofan and teased:

"Someone's already twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, yet he's still deceiving the feelings of eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls...tsk tsk...tsk tsk..."

Zhang Xiaofan spread his hands, looking completely innocent, and said:

"Where is it?"

"It's obvious that Xiao Huan has fallen for me; she took the initiative to kiss me. Moreover, I have never pursued Xiao Huan or made any inappropriate advances towards her."

"Which eye of yours saw that I lied to Xiao Huan?"

Jin Ping'er blinked her charming eyes and smiled:

“I saw it with both eyes.”

"Oh..." Zhang Xiaofan said "oh," then suddenly added:
"Your eyes are useless now, so I guess I'll just cut them off and soak them in wine."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaofan stretched out two fingers and peered into Jin Ping'er's eyes.

"Ah..." Jin Ping'er let out a coquettish cry, quickly turning away to avoid him. Her alluring fragrance wafted towards Zhang Xiaofan's nose, then she stared at him with a mixture of resentment and allure, saying:
"You have such a cruel heart, actually wanting to gouge out someone's eyes. Such a beautiful pair of eyes, how could you bear to do that?"

Smelling Jin Ping'er's alluring virgin fragrance, looking at her seductive expression and her long, fair, and delicate legs, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes burned with desire as he said, "If you dare to tempt me again, believe me, I'll punish you right here and now."

Jin Ping'er looked at Zhang Xiaofan's burning gaze, then at the desiccated corpses all around her. If she were to surrender herself in this terrifying environment, she would probably be haunted by the trauma for the rest of her life, which was not a pleasant prospect.

So, she had no choice but to abandon her seductive charms and alluring gaze, and instead spoke with unusual honesty and composure:

"Fine, fine, I give up. All you do is bully people."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan didn't continue arguing with Jin Ping'er. After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"I'm going to kill the Beast God. The process will be extremely dangerous. Are you planning to return to the Central Plains?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Ping'er glared at Zhang Xiaofan, crossed her arms, and said:

“I, Jin Ping’er, am not the kind of person who is afraid of death. I am, after all, the young master who broke into Fenxiang Valley with you at night and killed hundreds of Fenxiang Valley disciples.”

"So, no matter how dangerous it is, I, Jin Ping'er, will definitely face it with you."

Zhang Xiaofan stared at Jin Ping'er in surprise and said:
"Unexpectedly, the cunning and scheming Jin Ping'er, the young master of the Demonic Sect, has such a genuine side."

"Pah!" Jin Ping'er glared at Zhang Xiaofan and spat, saying irritably:

"When I'm dealing with other people, I might just take advantage of them and kill them one by one. But when it comes to you, Zhang Xiaofan, I'm being completely sincere."

"Moreover, knowing that you were coming to kill the Beast God, I came to the Hundred Thousand Mountains ahead of time."

“These past few days, I have already discovered the exact location of the Demon-Suppressing Cave. If you were to find it yourself, it would definitely take you longer.”

Seeing how much Jin Ping'er had done, Zhang Xiaofan said with a grateful expression:

"Thank you very much."

"Hmph!" Jin Ping'er gave a coquettish laugh, glaring at Zhang Xiaofan again, and said resentfully:

"I'm here paving the way for you, while someone is indulging in a life of pleasure, unable to extricate themselves."

Zhang Xiaofan looked at the resentful Jin Ping'er and smiled:

"Or perhaps I could also succumb to your tender embrace, and let you experience the beauty of the world..."

Jin Ping'er: "…………"

Upon hearing this, Jin Ping'er initially intended to seduce Zhang Xiaofan, but upon recalling the intense, almost murderous gaze he had just given her, she instantly hesitated to use her seductive arts.

After all, the area within a ten-mile radius was full of mummified corpses and covered in blood; she was genuinely afraid that Zhang Xiaofan would kill her here.

Even if we need to clean up, it shouldn't be in this creepy place. We need to find a beautiful environment so that we can look back on it with fondness in the future.

So she obediently closed her red lips, no longer daring to tempt Zhang Xiaofan.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan said, "To avoid any unforeseen complications, take me to kill the Beast God now."

Jin Ping'er shook her head, a ruthless look suddenly appearing on her alluring face, and a murderous intent emanating from her. She said:
"I found the Demon-Suppressing Cave a few days ago to scout the way for you."

"However, a person dressed in black robes suddenly appeared inside the Demon Suppression Cave. The person in black robes seemed to be a person of the Ghost Path. I was no match for him and suffered a small loss."

"After that, I was chased all the way out from the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains. I managed to escape with great difficulty, and then I ran into you."

Seeing the murderous intent emanating from Jin Ping'er, and remembering how she had been chased by the black-robed man because of him, Zhang Xiaofan was determined to avenge her. Therefore, he said:
"That man in black robes is a member of the Ghost Path, a lich!"
