Did I say I was leaving?

"Outside of the Phoenix's nest, you poisoned me and I forced you to be my follower. Inside Dragon Spring Town, you helped me greatly and you even saved me outside the town once.

Tang Huan said while beaming.

He had originally wanted to advance to Martial Lord of the eighth step and then retract the ball of Spiritual Fire from her Dantian. However, what happened the day before yesterday made him change his mind.

"You …

"

Mu Yan's breasts rose and fell rapidly, her beautiful eyes brimming with excitement.

After being controlled by Tang Huan, although he had not done anything excessive, the ball of Spiritual Fire in his stomach kept reminding Mu Yan that his life was in the hands of someone else. This was like a shackle, firmly imprisoning her body and soul.

Even if Tang Huan had promised to give her freedom, that shackle still existed.

In this world, no one liked to be controlled by others, and no one liked the feeling of not being in control of their own life or death. Now that Tang Huan had retracted the power of the Spiritual Fire, he immediately felt an indescribable sense of relaxation, as though it had spread from the depths of his soul to all parts of his body.

"Tang Huan, I need to clarify one thing. When we were outside the Phoenix Nest, I only wanted to take what was on your body.

On Mu Yan's rosy lips, which were as white as cream, there was a drunkenly red redness. She gently bit her red lips and explained,

"Your strength is too strong, I had no choice but to poison you with a stronger poison. When I test you, if you really can no longer fight back, I will definitely stop in time. As long as you have the antidote, I will leave it for you. Believe it or not, I have to say it.

"

"I do.

"

Tang Huan laughed out loud,

"There's no need to bring up the past anymore. Mu Yan, from now on, you can go wherever you want to go, no need to follow me like in the past.

"

"Unfortunately, I didn't manage to help you forge a weapon that night, and this place is too close to the Dragon Spring Town. Forging weapons isn't safe either, so I have to leave this place as soon as possible. But don't worry, I will give you one of the Dragon Crystal and I will also give you a sufficient amount of the Phoenix Flame Essence.

"

"You have a high position in the Flowing Flower Merchant Guild, it should not be difficult for you to find a Weapon Refiner to help you forge your weapon.

"

Hearing that, Mu Yan smiled, he declined to comment, and then, could not help but ask:

"Tang Huan, after leaving this place, where do you want to go next?

"

"I plan to enter Sword Crafting Valley.

"

A hint of a smile of anticipation flashed across Tang Huan's eyes. Back then, the first of the two places that this old man had made him memorize was inside the Sword Crafting Valley. Now, since he had come to this place, he had to go in and take a look no matter what. If his strength was insufficient to penetrate deep into the Sword Crafting Valley, he could just exit.

"Sword Crafting Valley?

"

"If you were to become friends with me at the end of the 'Phoenix Spirit Martial Meeting,' I would have advised you not to go. Although you are strong, you are still just a Stage Five Martial Master, and the situation in Sword Crafting Valley is completely different from Feng Ming's.

Tang Huan laughed:

"Then, what about now?

"

"Now, not only have you fused with the 'Nirvana Sacred Fire', Xiao Budian has also become a Four Winged Blue Dragon. Mu Yan said with a face full of smiles,

"When fighting against vengeful spirits, it could definitely give you a huge help that you would never have imagined possible.

"

"Oh?

" Tang Huan was somewhat surprised, but just as she was about to ask another question, Xiao Budian's clear voice suddenly sounded.

"Yiya!

"

Just then, Xiao Budian's chubby body relaxed and he looked at Tang Huan and Mu Yan in a daze. The Rainbow Spirit Mouse was caught off guard and immediately fell to the ground. After rolling and climbing back up, it waved its little claws and pointed at Xiao Budian's back as it cried out.

"Yiya?

"

"Yiya …

"

Xiao Budian flapped his wings, and after only looking at it, he started shouting in surprise. The pair of small wings that suddenly appeared clearly gave it a big fright, but right after, Xiao Budian's cries were already filled with joy and excitement, the two pairs of wings were finally able to completely move its little body.

In the next moment, the cave was filled with cheers. Xiao Budian carried the Rainbow Spirit Mouse and floated around in the small space.

"Argh!

"

Feng Ming was awakened very quickly. Just as he rubbed his eyes and sat up, he saw Xiao Budian flying in front of him complacently. The little girl giggled, then suddenly grabbed Xiao Budian's fat hind legs mischievously. Xiao Budian cried out and uncontrollably fell onto Feng Ming's body.

The three little fellows quickly rolled into a ball.

Seeing that, Tang Huan laughed, and then grabbed the Extreme Spirit Tree wooden chest, prepared to take out Mu Yan's gem and give her the promised

"Dragon Crystal

" and

"Phoenix Flame Essence

".

"Did I say I was leaving?

" Seeing that, Mu Yan laughed.

"Huh?

" Tang Huan was startled.

"Sword Crafting Valley is a sacred place in the hearts of all the Weapon Refiner. I had wanted to go in for a look for a long time.

"

Mu Yan's eyes moved about, she looked at Tang Huan with a bright and beautiful smile, and said:

"Moreover, if I want to leave, if I want to find a Weapon Refiner to forge my next weapon, I can only return to Glory Continent.

"

"The journey is long, if there is any accident, it can delay time and cause the Phoenix Flame Essence to lose its effectiveness. If that's the case, why should I abandon everything and go all out, letting off this powerful Weapon Refiner in front of me for nothing? Other than that, although there are a lot of Weapon Refining Master s and Weapon Refining Grand Master s who can forge advanced weapons, Weapon Refiner s who can both forge weapons and possess' Nirvana Sacred Fire 'are unique in this world.

"

"You're too kind.

"

Tang Huan unwittingly smiled,

"If that's the case, then let's go to the Sword Crafting Valley to have a look. Once we find a safer place, I will help you forge your weapon.

"

"...

"

After a long while, Tang Huan and Mu Yan finally hit the road again. It was still Mu Yan who was carrying Feng Ming, and he was carrying the wooden case of the

"Spirit Exquisite Tree

" along with him. Xiao Budian was no longer hiding inside the cloth bag, but was instead flying around Tang Huan and Mu Yan.

The Rainbow Spirit Mouse sat on Mu Yan's shoulder as it stared at Xiao Budian. In the end, it decided to take the chance and jump onto its back, unwilling to get down.

Behind Mu Yan's back, Feng Ming's big, black eyes were blinking.

Staring at the blue figure, the little girl seemed to be thinking about something, but deep in her eyes, there was a seemingly envious look that flashed past, and when her gaze landed on the backpack on Tang Huan's back, her pink and petite face immediately revealed an undetectable trace of depression and helplessness.

Tang Huan and Mu Yan were currently in the northeast direction of the Dragon Spring Town, so in order to head to the Sword Crafting Valley, they had to head west.

Along the way, the two of them were both very careful. They tried their best to not leave any obvious traces in the mountain forest, so as to not be discovered and tracked.

That day, when he left Mu Yan's courtyard, he remembered that he had placed the Rainbow Blade in his secret room. Before he had the time to destroy it, once the Sha Long Empire's soldiers found it, he would not be able to keep Tang Huan's secret.

Fortunately, he had already left the Dragon Spring Town. Even if his real identity was leaked, it wouldn't be a problem.
