Chapter 29: Yun Cong's Departure (Part 1)

  Early in the morning, Lingfeng got up and went out of the house to exercise his muscles in the courtyard. Then Taibo, who was in charge of daily life, brought him a delicious breakfast. After finishing eating, Lingfeng took a short rest before preparing to go out of the valley.

  According to the rules of the Valley of the Hidden Dragon, new disciples like Ling Feng are not allowed to leave the valley at will. However, he had promised many days ago that he would find a way to hunt down three heads of demonic beasts and offer their souls to the strange little beast in his Soul Orifice.

  Although Lingfeng had already refined the violent bear's soul with the beast pattern, the despicable little guy in his soul was too sinister. If he didn't fulfill his promise, it was hard to guarantee that the other party wouldn't use some sinister method to peel off and devour the refined violent bear's soul along with the beast pattern from his primordial spirit.

  Ling Feng didn't dare to take this risk. Therefore, he decided to sneak out of the valley and use his divine power to transform into a violent bear cub. He could easily cast an earth escape technique to quietly leave, hunt for three low-level demon beasts' souls outside the valley, which shouldn't be difficult!

  "You despicable little brat, one of these days, I'll make you know the severity of your old man!"

  Thinking of Xiao Shou's complacent and arrogant expression, as well as its unreasonable demand to fulfill its promise within a limited time, Ling Feng felt indignant and resentful, muttering to himself in a low voice, venting the anger in his heart.

  There's no way he can do anything now, so he can only say some harsh words to vent his dissatisfaction. As for the strange little beast that inhabits his soul, Ling Feng is filled with a sense of powerlessness.

  Ling Feng picked up a small pouch made of animal skin from the table and was ready to transform into a beast soul, leaving the courtyard and going out of the valley.

  Just then, Yun Cong's voice came from outside the house.

  "Ah Feng, Ah Feng..."

  Ling Feng found it strange after hearing this. This little girl came to find him early in the morning, was there something going on?

  He was about to leave the house when he saw Yun Cong walking into the room, and when he looked up, he only saw this little girl with a sulky expression.

  "Yun Jie, you came so early... is there something going on?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.

  Yun Cong seemed to have not heard him, and walked to the table to sit down, with his hands supporting his cheeks, his eyebrows furrowed, looking like he had a lot on his mind.

  "What's wrong, Yun Jie? Is there something unhappy? Tell me and let me hear." Seeing her being sulky, Ling Feng also sat down, looking at Yun Cong with concern, asking.

  Since the moment he met Yun Cong, Ling Feng felt a special connection with this little girl. In these days, although Ling Feng was diligently practicing every day, whenever he had some free time, the little girl would come to find him to chat and play, and their friendship grew stronger, they were already getting along very well.

  Now seeing her with a heavy heart, Ling Feng naturally showed concern and asked.

  "Alas!" There was no response, just a long sigh.

  "What's going on? Yunjie, you'd better speak up!" Seeing that she didn't respond, Lingfeng grew impatient and shouted loudly.

  Her dark and clear eyes looked at Ling Feng, seeing his anxious and flustered expression, Yun Cong's originally sulky face suddenly relaxed, and a soft laugh escaped from her cherry lips.

  "A'feng, with your concern, sister hasn't wasted her efforts on you!"

  He was only one year older than Ling Feng, but he looked like a little adult when speaking.

  Seeing her smile, Ling Feng also put his mind at ease, thinking that nothing big would happen to this little girl.

  Since nothing had happened, Ling Feng was about to leave the valley to attend to his own matters. Just as he was preparing to bid farewell to Yun Cong, he saw a smile fade from her small face, replaced by a thick layer of reluctance to part with him.

  "Ah Feng, sister is going to leave Qinglong Valley!" The little girl said softly with a dim gaze.

  "So soon?" Ling Feng was taken aback upon hearing this.

  "Early this morning, Master Lin took his sister to meet the three elders. The task has finally been assigned, and his sister is going to infiltrate a Xianmen sect called Wan Shou Zong."

  "When will you set off?"

  "This evening!"

  Yun Cong let out a soft sigh, her eyes gazing at Ling Feng as she said, "I originally thought I could spend more days playing with you, but...it's already time to leave so soon!" Her tone was helpless, and her face revealed a reluctant expression.

  Ling Feng felt a pang of sadness in his heart at this moment. Being with Yun Cong, they were open and honest with each other, without any pretenses, and he really enjoyed this feeling. Now, the two good friends were about to part ways, and a sense of melancholy arose.

  The two of them remained silent, and the room seemed a bit quiet. After a while, Ling Feng suddenly smiled and looked at Yun Cong, saying: "Sister Yun, you go first, who knows, maybe we'll meet again at the Wan Shou Sect in no time!"

  "If it's really like that, how great would it be!" Yun Cong heard and a happy smile appeared on her small face. Although she knew the opportunity was extremely slim, she still smiled so happily, so sweetly.

  Seeing her gloomy mood disappear, Ling Feng also felt happy. After thinking for a moment, he leaned over and whispered a few words in Yun Cong's ear.

  The little girl's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she nodded hastily.

  Then, Ling Feng's body suddenly transformed into a small bear half the height of a person. The plump bear paws wrapped around Yun Qing's waist and in an instant, their figures vanished from sight inside the house.

  Ten zhang deep underground.

  Ling Feng transformed into a violent bear and performed the Earth Escape Technique, taking Yun Cong with him as they shuttled back and forth in the mud at an extremely fast speed.

  For the first time sneaking into the depths of the underground, Xiao Yatou was extremely excited, waving her hands and screaming continuously.

  "Ah Feng, I'm so happy!"

  Ling Feng, who was exerting his utmost effort to cast the Earth Escape Technique, suddenly felt two jade-like arms embracing him from behind. He turned around and saw a beautiful small face approaching him, giving him a 'bo' kiss on the cheek.

  The sudden attack left Lingfeng unable to dodge, and he felt the sweet fragrance like orchids coming from the cherry lips of his opponent. Lingfeng's mind was shaken, and he helplessly shook his head:

  "Does this count as our first kiss?"

  He cast a strange glance at the little girl beside him, and Ling Feng found that the other party was still excited all over his face, seemingly unaware of any impropriety in his previous actions. He calmed down, dispersed his spiritual power, and probed towards the ground.

  In less than half a column of incense time, Ling Feng and the other had already escaped from the underground to dozens of miles away from the Hidden Dragon Valley. At this moment, he was completely unscrupulous in releasing all his spiritual power to explore the situation on the ground above and search for his prey.

  After fleeing for more than 20 miles, Ling Feng finally found his first target in a dense forest.

  A giant horned beast resembling a deer strolled leisurely through the dense forest, occasionally lowering its head to nibble on the tender grass. It seemed carefree, but in reality, its ears were constantly twitching, closely monitoring its surroundings with extreme vigilance.

  Corner Deer Beast. A first-class wind attribute monster with almost no attack power, good at running against the wind, its speed is fast, but it is the best target for hunting and killing in the wind.

  This horned deer has a sturdy body, with legs as high as a person. The horns on its head are forked and open, clearly a male beast. Among the first-class demon beasts, the horned deer is of low rank, and since it doesn't have much attacking power, it naturally becomes the blood food for other demon beasts to hunt.

  However, the corner deer beast runs extremely fast in the wind, and with its strong vigilance, it is quite difficult for ordinary demon beasts to hunt and kill it.

  At this moment, the horned beast had already explored the surrounding dense forest and did not find any other monster tracks. It was enjoying the lush green grass on the ground with peace of mind, but it didn't know that danger had quietly arrived.

  A fat and clumsy bear paw emerged quietly from the ground, strangely, in the bear's paw was a dark and cold dagger, which darted towards the abdomen of the angle deer like a venomous snake spitting its letter.

  "Moooo!"

  Suddenly attacked, the Saola only felt a sharp pain in its abdomen, let out a mournful cry, and instinctively kicked its four hooves into the ground, leaping more than 1.5 meters high into the air.

  A flash of yellowish-brown fur, and a small bear, about half the height of a person, emerged from underground. Beside it stood a sweet-looking little girl.

  The horned beast was stabbed by a dagger, but it did not die immediately. It was seen that its four hooves were windy, and it quickly escaped into the depths of the dense forest like lightning.

  "Hit by my 'Paralysis Shot', can you still escape?"

  The little bear smiled and spoke with a triumphant tone.

  Look at it now with a dagger in hand and a majestic appearance, it has a few similarities with the legendary 'A Bao'.

  Before he had finished speaking, a "thud" was heard, and the horned beast that had escaped tens of meters away suddenly fell to the ground, motionless, looking as if it were dead.

  A flash of insight, and the little bear transformed back into human form, taking on the appearance of Ling Feng.

  "We won the first battle!"

  With a whoop of excitement, Ling Feng pulled Yun Qing's small hand and ran towards their prey.
