Chapter 384 Tang Wan
The main gate of the Tang family.
The protective array of the mountain opened, and a tall, graceful young woman emerged from the ripples, wearing a blue and white floral dress and carrying a green-edged sword.
Ye Kang turned around with his hands behind his back, about to cup his hands in greeting, when he saw the woman's expression suddenly turn furious.
"You bastard! How dare you steal my father's Enchanting Blue Ocean Robe!"
"?"
Ye Kang's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Unfounded accusations, what a fine young lady from the Tang family."
Tang Wan became even angrier upon hearing this, and directly drew her sword, pointing it at Ye Kang: "Who are you calling a liar!"
The next second, the sword broke in two.
Ye Kang gently withdrew his finger and said, "I'm talking about you."
For a moment, Tang Wan froze on the spot.
The Tang family patriarch, hidden in the shadows, also stood frozen in place.
He had just seen clearly that Wang Yintai had snapped Wan'er's sword in two with just two fingers in the blink of an eye!
Although that sword wasn't a grandmaster's weapon, it was still crafted by a master craftsman, and even a nine-leaf demon might not be able to break it!
How did this guy do that?!
Tang Wan stared in disbelief at the broken sword in her hand.
"How could this be... You dare to break my sword!"
Ye Kang smiled and said, "It was an accident. I didn't control my hand properly."
"you!
"Furthermore, this robe was a gift from the patriarch himself, Miss. Please think before you speak next time."
Ye Kang walked out with his hands behind his back.
Tang Wan trembled with rage and threw away the hilt of her sword: "Stop right there! Pay up for my sword!"
The two left quickly, while the Tang family patriarch, watching from the shadows, frowned deeply.
He thought that even if the two couldn't develop feelings for each other, they should be able to get along well. Who knew that they would be at each other's throats as soon as they met?
He couldn't help but wonder if he had overlooked something in his plan.
on the road.
Tang Wan glared fiercely at Ye Kang.
She wanted to slap this bastard to death; how could an outsider be so disrespectful to her?
I am the eldest daughter of the Tang family!
But when she thought about how the flying sword had broken so mysteriously, she hesitated.
Does a mere seven-leaf fellow have this ability?
He was a powerful expert who had reached the ninth leaf stage, so how could he not see his movements?
Filled with skepticism, Tang Wan decided to observe first.
As for the broken sword, as a young lady of high birth, she had no shortage of such things and casually took out another sword of the same level.
"Hey, you're not kidding me? The Enchanting Blue Ocean Robe really was given to you by my dad?"
"Of course."
"Damn it! Is he senile?! How could he give his clothes to a stranger..."
Seeing the envious look on her face, Ye Kang couldn't help but laugh and say, "What? You want one too?"
"Nonsense! This is a treasure of the Brocade Pavilion. They only gave my father three pieces in total. He wore one himself, gave one to my aunt, and I begged him for this last one for so many years but he still wouldn't give it to me. What a waste!"
"Isn't this men's clothing?"
"You're ignorant. The clothes in Jinxiu Pavilion don't distinguish between men and women; they automatically change style."
Tang Wan snorted coldly, making no attempt to hide the disdain on her face.
Ye Kang didn't tolerate her and retorted directly, "Being ignorant is better than having no clothes."
"You! This is ridiculous. If my father hadn't insisted that I take you with me, I would have left you behind long ago. West Island is dangerous. You weakling from the Seven Leaves, you'll stay on the border later and don't come in with me."
Tang Wan felt that her cultivation was higher and that she should be the one in charge.
If I bring a weakling in, I might have to protect him, which could hinder my ability to retrieve the treasure.
Ye Kang did not refute, but controlled his speed, always maintaining the same distance from Tang Wan.
He transmitted his voice, "Tell me, what treasure are you looking for, and what risks are involved?"
Tang Wan glanced at him coldly and said, "What does my business have to do with you? Just wait outside and don't cause me any trouble."
"That won't do. I have to report back to the head of the family."
"What a hassle. What I'm looking for is a specialty of the Thorn Valley, the Fire-Eating Ginseng. This thing only appears in the valley and is quite spiritual."
"Fire-devouring ginseng? And where is Thorn Valley?"
"Hmph, we'll arrive once we pass through the territory of the Bloodfang Hound King and pay the toll to the Five-Eyed Deer King. Anyway, it's very dangerous, so I advise you not to come in with me."
"Tolls?"
Ye Kang found it increasingly outrageous as he listened.
But Tang Wan didn't seem to want to explain further, and instead sped up, flying towards West Island.
Ye Kang stayed close behind, and Tang Wan couldn't shake him off no matter how hard she tried.
Soon, they arrived at the border wasteland again.
Ye Kang concealed his aura tightly, even covering it with a layer of his nascent divine sense.
There was no other way; the wasteland was the Dog King's territory, and he and that old dog were mortal enemies. Once the dog caught his scent, he would be trapped.
Seeing that Ye Kang showed no sign of stopping, Tang Wan frowned and said, "You're incredibly foolish. If you encounter any danger, I won't help you."
"Please."
Ye Kang had absolutely no desire to argue with this woman anymore, but he still had to go.
It wasn't to protect her, but to scout the way.
If I'm not mistaken, there might be some connection between the Fire-Eating Ginseng and the Crimson-Eyed Bear King I'm looking for.
The two couldn't agree on anything and continued their journey stealthily.
Soon, they entered the wasteland. Tang Wan transmitted her voice, "Stay close to me. Don't let me get dragged down with you if you die!"
After saying that, she waved her hand and took out a jade talisman, carefully activating it.
"This is a navigation talisman. As long as you follow the route, you won't encounter the dog demon. Although it's a detour, it will prevent you from being discovered by the Dog King."
Concerned for her own safety, Tang Wan put aside her willful nature and focused intently on following the jade talisman's guidance.
They walked until nightfall without encountering a single dog demon, successfully escaping the wasteland.
Tang Wan breathed a sigh of relief and transmitted her voice, "Don't let your guard down. The forest ahead is the territory of the Five-Eyed Deer King. However, that guy doesn't eat people easily. Instead, he likes to trade with humans for supplies. As long as we give him some benefits, we can pass through safely."
"So this is what toll fees mean."
Ye Kang was not surprised; not eating people easily did not mean he would never eat people.
The fact that this demon king can trade with humans further demonstrates his cunning and terrifying nature.
A moment later, the two entered the forest. The surroundings were eerily silent; there wasn't even a breeze, only the sound of their footsteps.
In the Demon King's territory, flying is tantamount to suicide; walking is the safest way.
Suddenly, shadows swayed in the trees ahead, and a small yellow-skinned deer strode out arrogantly.
Tang Wan broke out in a cold sweat and nervously took out a pot of high-grade spirit wine.
The little deer sniffed it and shook its head.
Tang Wan took out another pot, and the little deer nodded in satisfaction, carrying the two pots of wine as it disappeared into the night.
Suddenly, everything returned to normal; the wind rustled the leaves, and insects chirped and birds sang.
Ye Kang then realized that the roe deer king had discovered their tracks from the beginning, observed them for a while, and then sent out a little roe deer to collect the toll.
The cunning of the demon race is evident.
Tang Wan transmitted her voice with a hint of pride: "How about that? Isn't this young lady amazing? I've only followed my father twice, and I've already figured out the route."
