Chapter 120 Beauty Like Jade
Beneath the Cold Pool, Ling Fan squeezed into a crevice, creeping forward along the slow current, but the further inside he went, the more he was shocked.
He must have traveled nearly a hundred yards by now. Had the old man not mentioned it beforehand, giving him some reassurance, he truly wouldn't have dared to proceed.
The main issue was the small gap in the crevice; he couldn't even turn back if he wanted to. He could either reach the end or swim backwards.
But estimating the time, if he were to return backwards, it would take at least three times longer than the original journey, and the chill in the water did not decrease at all. His Origin Force would probably not last until he could return, forcing him to grit his teeth and continue forward.
As he pondered this, the space in the crevice suddenly opened up. Ling Fan couldn't help but brighten up as his body involuntarily floated upwards, and the temperature of the water gradually warmed.
"Whoosh!"
Ling Fan finally emerged with his head above the water, looking around to find himself in an underground grotto nearly a hundred yards across, filled with stone milk columns, all beautiful and breathtaking. He couldn't help but marvel at the creator's magic and nature's godly craftsmanship.
He immediately climbed out of the water and found a pool of about a dozen square meters in the center of the grotto, shrouded in mist, its true nature hidden.
"Is this the Earth's Milk?" Ling Fan thought to himself, excitement flashing in his eyes.
Such heavenly and earthly treasures, even a small bottle would be incredibly precious, let alone such a large pool, it was simply inconceivable.
Approaching the pool, once he confirmed it was indeed Earth's Milk, he wasted no time, quickly stripped off his clothes, and hurriedly dived in.
His entire body soaked in the Earth's Milk, felt as though wrapped in a hot spring. The chill that had permeated him in the Cold Pool seemed to melt away like snow under the sun, almost making him moan in comfort.
Not daring to waste time, whether the chronic illness he hadn't been able to cure for two years would now be healed, depended entirely on this Earth's Milk. He promptly began circulating the "Limitless Sword Technique," a cultivation spell formula he had not practiced for a long time.
As the technique circulated, the milky essence of the Earth's Milk slowly fused into his body, gradually absorbed.
The mist in the Milk Pool, centered around his body, continuously gathered and merged into him. The dense mist in the Earth's Milk started to thin out, while Ling Fan drifted into an unconscious state of merging with the heavens.
As the mist gradually dissipated, a vision of staggeringly beautiful features emerged ten yards in front of him, also soaked in the Earth's Milk.
It appeared that, like Ling Fan, her soul had ventured into oblivion, yet the slight twitch of her eyelashes suggested she might awaken at any moment.
...
Outside the dense woods of the Cold Pool, Yuan Xiuqi's gaze grew sharp as he took step after step toward He Feiman.
With each step, He Feiman felt as though her heart was being trampled, struggling to breathe.
"Who are you!" Yuan Xiuqi demanded coldly.
He Feiman took a deep breath, trying to suppress the panic in her heart, her complexion pale. The relationship between the He and Ma families made it difficult for her to speak.
With Ma Aolei right there, bringing Yuan Xiuqi with fury, revealing her identity might do more harm than good!
"Her name is He Feiman, she is Miao Xin's cousin!" Hong Quan carefully interjected.
"Hmm? He Feiman?" Yuan Xiuqi furrowed his brows, pondered; he seemed to have no recollection of her.
Suddenly, Ma Aolei screamed, "He Feiman? Isn't she from the He Family?"
"He Family?" Yuan Xiuqi finally remembered.
Ma Aolei had recently consulted with him, mentioning that the Ma Family wished to replace the He Family. He had notified his family and tacitly agreed; he hadn't expected the person before him to be from the He Family!
"Xiuqi, I understand now. The Ma Family has conflicts with the He Family; she must have hired someone for revenge. Yuan Hao shouldn't die in vain!
I'll flay this wretch alive, along with that bastard who insulted me; I want them to suffer a fate worse than death!" Ma Aolei hissed through clenched teeth.
The onlookers trembled with terror; Ma Aolei was spoiled and vindictive. Crossing her was not merely a matter of life and death but a torture you couldn't escape from!
Yuan Xiuqi looked indifferently at He Feiman, "Tell me, where is that boy!"
"I don't know!" He Feiman gritted her teeth, mentally prepared for whatever might come.
"You won't talk, will you?" Yuan Xiuqi said calmly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
As he spoke, he struck like lightning.
"Crack!"
The arm of the maid Cui He, standing beside He Feiman, was abruptly broken.
"Ah!"
Cui He was caught off guard, screamed, and clung to her arm, her face as white as death, as she bit down hard on her teeth and said no more.
"If you don't speak, I'll break her limbs!" Yuan Xiuqi said coldly.
He Feiman's face turned pale, and he stared fiercely at Yuan Xiuqi, shouting in rage, "I'll fight you with all I've got!"
He immediately tried to draw his sword and stab at Yuan Xiuqi, but the difference in their cultivation was too vast.
"Slap!"
Yuan Xiuqi, with lightning-fast movements, sent He Feiman flying with a slap.
"You overestimate yourself!" Yuan Xiuqi said disdainfully.
"I'll ask you once more, and if you can't answer, I'll break another limb until all limbs are broken!"
He Feiman lay on the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, cursing inwardly about his weak cultivation that reduced him to mere meat on the chopping block!
"I really don't know; he entered the Cold Pool and had us wait here for him!" He Feiman managed to say tortuously.
"Crack!"
Yuan Xiuqi broke another of Cui He's arms, causing her pale complexion to turn even whiter as she couldn't help but collapse to the ground.
"You... I already told you, you madman!" He Feiman's lips were bloodied from biting them.
"I am very dissatisfied with your answer. If he doesn't appear, neither of you need to live, and your He Family need not exist anymore!" Yuan Xiuqi said coldly.
Upon hearing this, He Feiman's face drastically changed, turning deathly pale. He gritted his teeth and said, "I told you, he went into the Cold Pool. I don't know why he's not here, but he will definitely return, and he won't let you go!"
Yuan Xiuqi was momentarily stunned, then burst into an incredulous laugh, "Damn it, I'll remember those words. I don't know where you get your confidence, but I won't kill you now!
I want you to watch with your own eyes how he kneels in front of me like a dog. If he's too cowardly to come, I'll just give you to my men, letting these hard-working fellows of the Dragon Pool have a little feast!"

He Feiman bit her lips fiercely, filled with rage, and said, "You will regret this!"
"I look forward to it!" Yuan Xiuqi sneered and then turned around to find a large rock to sit on.
"Someone, bring me a whip. I need to collect some interest first!" Ma Aolei coldly ordered the stationed family members.
Hong Quan, who was good at using a whip, carefully stepped forward, handing the long whip to Ma Aolei.
But he was too close to Ma Aolei and almost lost his composure, nearly getting a nosebleed. He quickly bowed his head, not daring to look.
Ma Aolei, holding the whip, came close to He Feiman, swung her arm, and whipped him. The lash landed on He Feiman instantly, tearing his flesh and even shredding a large section of his clothing.
He Feiman was in so much pain he almost passed out, yet he clenched his teeth, not making a sound.
"Hmph, I'll make that fool dare to disrespect me. Blame your little lover if you must!" Ma Aolei sneered, then continued whipping him several times.
He Feiman bit the back of her own hand fiercely. She knew Ma Aolei was just making excuses to trouble her, blaming it all on her being a member of the He Family.
And the He Family was too weak in this dog-eat-dog Martial Arts World, being weak was the original sin!
"Don't hit the young lady; if you have the guts, take it out on me!" Cui He couldn't help but angrily shout from the side.
"Hmph, quite loyal, aren't you? You senseless creature, I'll fulfill your wish today!" Ma Aolei sneered.
"Whoosh~"
The long whip whistled through the air.
'Snap~'
A strong lash struck Cui He, making her scream in agony as she rolled around on the ground in pain!
Ma Aolei's face lit up with excitement, "Hehe, don't rush; we have plenty of time. Let's see when that boy will come to rescue you!"
Inside the Earth Milk Grotto.
Like a fairy, the beautiful woman with skin smooth as jade fluttered her eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes, sparkling and clear as the stars!
However, when she saw the unfamiliar man before her, she quickly stood up, instantly projecting a graceful figure as delicate as a startled swan!
