Meng Liang was fine.
He was better now. He could stand in front of Fang Ziyu with his sword horizontally and his cold eyes as usual.
As a result, the ghost-like pursuers were all blocked out of his sword.
This was a feeling that made Fang Ziyu feel very at ease. Even the pursuers behind him continued to surge in wave after wave. Even though they were still more than ten days away from reaching the Chen Kingdom, as long as this man held onto his sword and stood in front of her, it seemed that there was nothing in the world to be afraid of.
On this day, the genius dimly lit up, and the two of them cautiously set out on their way again.
Ever since Meng Liang suddenly woke up that day, this man was a little strange.
He became a little talkative and talked nonstop whenever he had time. Of course, the Meng Liang of the past was actually the same, but what he said now was somewhat different.
In the past, he always greeted Fang Ziyu warmly like an elder. He was always worried that Fang Ziyu would not eat well and that he would not get used to living well. And now, he was talking about…
"These soldiers came from the Long Night Division and spread throughout the entire Nether Continent. It's impossible for them to completely hide it from their ears and eyes. There are many of them, so if they blindly walked through the forest and wanted to get closer, they would easily fall into their trap when they reached the Chen Kingdom."
"Therefore, the best way is to choose some forks on the left and right to confuse them. They will definitely split up their forces to chase after them. Even if they catch up, they will still have the strength to fight. They will not be surrounded and intercepted to fight against trapped beasts."
'"The town is the most dangerous place. It is filled with the ears and eyes of the Longevity Division. You are not allowed to enter the city unless you absolutely have to. After entering the city, if you need to buy food, it is mostly food, and it is best if you have some dry food. This way, it will be easy to carry and won't carry too much weight, causing the speed of traveling to slow down."
'"Even if you have food on you, it would be best if you could get local ingredients on the road. This way, you can reduce the number of times you enter the city. Also, if you want to light a fire or cook food, remember to use raw wood, because wet wood will produce more smoke. Those jackals are very sensitive."
"Also, although it's spring, the temperature…"
Listening to Meng Liang's chatter, Fang Ziyu's ears almost burst out of a cocoon.
"Alright, I know. Aren't you still here?" At that time, she smiled sweetly at Meng Liang and said.
Meng Liang's expression froze at that moment, and a dim expression appeared, but he quickly returned to his normal state.
"I will definitely bring you to the Chen Kingdom." He said this in an extremely low voice, as if he was talking to Ziyu or himself.
…
This year's Youzhou was unusual. There was plenty of rain. The two walked for a day before they found a hidden forest to live in. It began to rain again.
Those who had suffered enough from the drought in You Prefecture were naturally overjoyed, but Fang Ziyu and Meng Liang complained endlessly.
After traveling for a few days, they were already extremely tired. Adding on their injuries, there was no shelter from the rain, so it was inevitable that their bodies would become even weaker.
The night gradually became cold. Fang Ziyu's entire body was soaked. She sat on the ground with her hands crossed around her knees to relieve the cold. It was not that she did not want to use her true essence to defend against the cold. It was just that the pursuers might arrive at any time. There was no need to leave it to defend against the enemy.
This night was really too difficult. Fang Ziyu looked at the man who was busy trying to start a fire in front of him and was stunned.
This was the seventeenth time he had tried to catch a fire, but every time it rose, it would be extinguished by the rain. The man's face was a little pale, and his forehead was covered with stains of sweat or rain.
Fang Ziyu looked at him in such a manner and felt somewhat distressed.
"Stop it. It's raining non-stop. No matter what, this fire won't start." She looked at the growing spring rain and said.
"This won't do. If you continue to drench yourself like this, your bones will probably not be able to hold on. This fire will not only keep you warm, it will also dry your clothes." Meng Liang did not seem to have heard Fang Ziyu's words. He continued to pour the pile of firewood on his own and lowered his head in response.
Hearing this, Fang Ziyu felt a warmth in his heart. He felt that the cold rainy night was no longer as difficult as before.
She simply stood up and walked over to Meng Liang, stretching out her hand to pull the man who was still busy.
"Ziyu, wait a while longer. I…" Meng Liang was puzzled, but before he could finish speaking, the girl sat down under the tree where the girl had been hiding from the rain.
Then, the girl reached out her hand and wiped the water off his forehead.
"It's fine." The girl smiled and sat down beside him.
Meng Liang was stunned, and immediately felt a little embarrassed.
"If we lean against it, it won't be so cold." The girl seemed to be unaware of Meng Liang's abnormal situation. She moved her body and leaned against Meng Liang's side without any hesitation.
The murderous Young Master Meng's heart skipped a beat, and an abnormal flush appeared on his face.
Of course, he felt that this was a little inappropriate, but the temperature from the girl's body and the faint fragrance lingering around the tip of her nose made his heart go numb, and the words of rejection that came to his mouth were swallowed by him again and again.
The rain became a little heavier, as if there was no intention of stopping.
The man and woman sitting under the tree silently looked at the sky. For some reason, they all had the absurd thought of hoping that the rain would fall a little longer.
…
"Oh, why can't I find the two of you in the entire Nether Continent? So you're hiding in this desolate mountain and wilderness to talk about love?" However, at this moment, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded. Bursts of flames lit up in the dense forest. A black-armored leader led more than a hundred people out of the forest and surrounded the two of them.
Fang Ziyu and Meng Liang were shocked as they hurriedly stood up and looked at the person who had come.
Needless to say, these people were naturally the pursuers sent by the Long Night Division.
"The two of you are so leisurely and elegant. Why don't you talk about it for a while longer? The brothers don't mind seeing the Living Spring Palace relieve their fatigue." The man in the lead was around forty years old and said with a perverted smile.
Compared to the previous pursuer, he was obviously more powerful. He leisurely stood in front of the two of them and said so without the slightest worry that the two of them might escape.
Meng Liang's heart sank. With his horizons, he could naturally tell that this man's cultivation had already reached the sixth realm, the Dust Leaving Realm. It was hard to say whether such a person should feel honored or unfortunate to be sent to chase after the two of them.
"Ziyu, be careful. Kill him if you have the chance. I'll help you stop him." Meng Liang said as he protected Fang Ziyu behind him.
At that time, boundless sword intent surged out of his body. It was vast and endless. It seemed to be no weaker than before, and it didn't seem to be seriously injured at all.
When the black-armored leader sensed Meng Liang's sword intent, his eyes instantly narrowed. He sized Meng Liang up and down, and then said in surprise,
"Young Master Meng is a wonderful person who cherishes beauty and treasures jade."
"In order to protect Miss Fang, are you willing to use this Li Mountain's Soldier Dispelling Technique?"
