Chapter 352: Xiao Yi Xian's Pleasant Surprise
In the silent space channel, Xiao Ming and the girls appeared in a flash. With a flick of his hand, a small boat expanded against the wind, transforming into a massive giant space boat.
The group quickly boarded the giant boat, and Xiao Yi Xian, familiar with the process, touched a spot at the bow, causing an energy barrier to envelop the entire boat. Suddenly, the boat trembled and accelerated, swiftly moving towards the endless space channel.
"Ye City doesn't have a direct space channel to Holy Pill City, so we have to make our way to a city called Qingling City first. From there, we can reach Holy Pill City through another wormhole," Xiao Ming explained.
"It will take us three days to reach Qingling City from here, and then approximately four more days from Qingling City to Holy Pill City. So, it will probably take us around seven to eight days to arrive at Holy Pill City. Let's rest well inside the space boat during this time," he continued.
Both Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa nodded in agreement.
After a moment of hesitation, Medusa opened her red lips and asked, "You were caught in the explosion just now. You didn't sustain any injuries, did you?"
Medusa's question took Xiao Ming by surprise. In the past few days, apart from their intimate moments in bed, Medusa had always maintained a cold expression. It was unexpected for her to show concern for his well-being.
Perhaps it was because they had truly become partners.
When Medusa noticed Xiao Ming's gaze, she furrowed her eyebrows and asked, "What's with that look?"
Xiao Ming shook his head and replied, "It's nothing. I was prepared, so I didn't get hurt."
"Why do you have to take such risks, throwing the Core Lightning Bead from such a close distance!" Xiao Yi Xian also furrowed her delicate eyebrows.
Xiao Ming's actions had been too reckless. It wasn't that she lacked confidence in him, but the Core Lightning Bead was an item that could seriously injure Old Ghost Zhai Xing in an instant. If Xiao Ming had accidentally been caught in the explosion, the consequences would have been dire. Xiao Yi Xian didn't want Xiao Ming to take such risks when there was no need for them.
Even without taking risks, Old Ghost Zhai Xing couldn't pose a threat to them.
Regarding this, Xiao Ming felt somewhat helpless as well. Although Old Ghost Zhai Xing couldn't do anything to them, his cultivation realm was higher than everyone else's, and it would be difficult to stop him if he wanted to escape.
Only by catching him off guard could they hope to restrain him. Moreover, at that time, Old Ghost Zhai Xing had attempted to launch a surprise attack, and Xiao Ming had simply gone along with it. The danger wasn't significant, and the outcome proved so. Xiao Ming didn't sustain any injuries.
Therefore, Xiao Ming waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Let's not mention the people from the Hall of Souls anymore. By the way, why don't you summon your Nether Poison Flame to let me take a look at it?"
Knowing that Xiao Ming was changing the subject, Xiao Yi Xian pouted but still summoned the flame.
A green flame, resembling ghostly fire, rose into the air.
If Xiao Ming knew what Xiao Yi Xian was thinking, he would probably think that she was being too optimistic. In the Dou Qi Continent, if one didn't possess the Fire-Wood attribute, being a sixth-tier alchemist was already considered the pinnacle.
Nevertheless, there was still a chance to succeed. If she didn't try, how would she know?
As Xiao Yi Xian's excitement reached its peak, she couldn't contain her emotions any longer. Without hesitation, she leaned in, capturing Xiao Ming's lips in a passionate kiss.
Meanwhile, Medusa, who stood beside them, was irritated but chose to remain silent. She could only hum lightly and turn her head away.
After what felt like an eternity for Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian reluctantly withdrew her lips from Xiao Ming's.
"Thank you, Xiao Ming," she whispered, her voice filled with affection.
Xiao Ming returned the smile, his own eyes filled with tenderness. He gently reached out, his fingers caressing the soft strands of Xiao Yi Xian's purple hair.
"Between you and me, there's no need to say thank you," Xiao Ming replied. He was overjoyed to see his beloved happy.
After chatting for a little while longer, Xiao Ming headed into the cabin and found a room for himself. Xiao Yi Xian stayed behind to pilot the spatial boat and delve into the alchemy notes Xiao Ming had given her.
Medusa also found a room to rest in.
...
Xiao Ming lay on the bed in the luxurious room, taking a brief nap. He then sat up straight and softly called out in his mind.
'Simulator.'
[Ding, the host has a chance to simulate life. Would you like to start the simulation?]
Xiao Ming had another chance for a life simulation. Naturally, he chose to start when prompted by the simulator.
'Start the simulation.'
