Ling Ai was amused watching her own body getting rattled which is Zhuanxu YeBai inside it. While watching her master, all she thought was,"I"m blessed to know him. Thank you Zhuanxu YeBai." Ling Ai muttered.
Ling Ai is being grateful to her Master Zhuanxu YeBai, the Most Evil Emperor of the white countries. But what awaits her from the journey she will endeavor?
"Master, I"m all packed up."
"Follow me Ling Ai. Leave the cloth-bag and just bring with you the coin purse."
Zhuanxu YeBai led the way of going to the forest down the hill. While Ling Ai got the coin purse inside the bag and tossed the bag back to the tent to follow her Master.
"Are you sure Master? Why would we leave that bag? There are many necessities on that like herbs, extra garments, and some food. And... this coin purse, there are 1500 black coins in this little coin purse?! When... How did you?"
"As expected, you"re not familiar with having that amount on your hands. Now keep that first inside your kimono sash before you accidentally left that somewhere else."
Both of them continued walking from the forest while Ling Ai was still surprised when she counted such a big amount inside the coin purse.
"Of course! Of all the day"s hard work through sweat and blood, I and my old man Zhang Mo had just earned about 90-150 black coins per week! This is just an insane amount for me, Master. I don"t even think that I deserve to keep an amount this big on my hands, on my pocket."
"That"s yours to begin with, Ling Ai." Zhuanxu YeBai faced at Ling Ai while walking and smiled.
"Mine? No! Did you just pick this up somewhere? No, no, it"s not mine Master. I didn"t bring with me a single penny of black crow coins since we left the house."
"You Peanut, I didn"t pick this up somewhere on the path. I got those black crow coins from selling the three horns of the evolved giant xenodermus."
"Really? Was it that expensive?" Ling Ai was surprised as she has no idea how price ranges of certain products or materials from the capital works.
"Yes, it is expensive for normal people."
"Oh, there he goes again." Ling Ai stared Zhuanxu YeBai waiting for him to answer differently this time.
"I mean.. Yes, it is expensive for... It is expensive Ling Ai."
Zhuanxu YeBai can"t resist stating what"s the truth inside his mind as he was confused. Because for him black coins are not high-value money. And if compared to the coins of Celestial lands country, it is of no value, not to say that he was also one of the richest people being the son of the Emperor.
"I exchanged your Xenohorn sword with two evolved Xenodermus horns then I asked 1500 black coins for the third one. It was a deal on my own advantage and request." Zhuanxu YeBai elucidated the deal he had made resulting the 1500 black coins he gave to Ling Ai.
"Woah, I don"t really have the idea of how those things work but I can see that you are well knowledgeable about a capital"s civilization. So I don"t have a say for it, but to just appreciate and thank you for what you"ve done."
"Good to hear that my disciple is not greedy when it comes to money. So I think just getting you 1500 black coins from the original 15,000 black coins price of the three evolved Xenodermus horns are just enough."
"What?! 15,000 black coins?! Are you insane? Did you just get 1,500 black coins from the original price of the horns? But why? That"s only about 10% of it!" Ling Ai was shaken hearing the original price of the three horns her Master sold.
"Because I think it was just enough? Is it that bad?"
Zhuanxu YeBai was clueless for what he did as he himself doesn"t really bother spending or dropping the Celestial Coins which is the highest value of money there is. So all he thought was just to get enough money for Ling Ai"s needs.
_sigh
"Anyway, I won"t even have got any money from it if you"re not around as I"m clueless that those things can be sold. But for me, I would have completely received all those coins. For 15,000 black coins, you can already live for months without doing any work.
Hmm, I almost forgot. This sword is so great and suitable for me, so as I think about it carefully, I can say that it"s just a perfect deal."
"See?" Zhuanxu YeBai was clueless as he doesn"t really care about money at all but he just agreed to Ling Ai to end their conversation about it.
"Well... Hmm... Wait, what is this place Master? I"m very familiar with all the areas here but I think this path is new to me." Ling Ai raised her brow and wondered as she was not familiar to the place.
"It has been thirty minutes since we had been walking and you just noticed now? That"s bad news for me as your Master, Ling Ai. You must always have keen senses and sensitive observation every time, no matter what the place is, safe or dangerous."
"I"m sorry, Master. I was just too shocked hearing the thing about the black coins. But thank you for that another lesson, I"ll take that in my mind."
"Always apply what you"ve learned Ling Ai. And never forget the basics, also the things that I"ve told you to be wary and in control."
"Yes, Master. It"s very clear to me."
"Hmm... Did you notice something about the cloth your wearing? Why I chose that?"
"This kimono? Hmm... It"s beautiful? Elegant like you? Very nice? Comfortable? Expensive? Just kidding... about the last one.."
Ling Ai was cheerful because of the care Zhuanxu YeBai had shown and she is trying to spend the last moment she has with Zhuanxu YeBai before her endeavor for the mission.
"You are right about me being those things that you"ve mentioned. But that"s not really the reason I bought that dazzling yellow kimono. I bought it because it"s a foreign wear, more expensive than the local ones from the country.
That way, people will pay more attention to you when you are meeting with them or even just pa.s.sing by. Even though you are from an unknown small village, their interest to you will be lighted up the moment they see you because of the foreign clothing you"re wearing."
"Then why yellow? To add more dazzling effect as I walk besides my beauty, brains, and body? Ha ha ha!" Ling Ai cachinnated.
"Ughh, there you go again with your ogre laugh you haughty cub! Who says you"re beautiful? Tsk!" Zhuanxu YeBai suddenly yawned to make it look like that he doesn"t care at all, but deep inside he was already curious and a bit jealous.
"What will those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds think if they saw her" Zhuanxu YeBai thought in his mind, and when he turned to Ling Ai, his heart jump as she was looking at her intently. He noticed just how beautiful Ling Ai is with her natural white complexion shining as the sun hits her flawless skin. And what"s more alluring that caught his eyes was the beauty mark below the right eye of Ling Ai. It complements her angelic face.
"What? What are you looking at?"
"I just wanna thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart. Thanking you again and again. You"re such a good man Master, even though on the outside you look like a devil."
"Am I suppose to thank you for that?" Zhuanxu YeBai twitched his brow.
"Listen first! You look like a devil but your heart is that of an angel. I"ll visit you as soon as I can. Everything you"ve done for me is enough. And all those last lessons and pieces of advice you gave me is already engraved in my heart and mind."
"Well, you"re my first disciple after all. So it"s really a thing for me to do. And why did you suddenly stopped walking? Is there something wrong?"
Ling Ai suddenly embraced Zhuanxu YeBai tightly.
"I want you to always be safe. I will complete this mission. Thank you for everything, Master. I"ll meet you soon."
Ling Ai"s image left a blurry figure in front of Zhuanxu YeBai as she quickly appeared behind him.
Zhuanxu YeBai just smiled and said,
"You"ve grown a lot, Ling Ai."
_thud!
Ling Ai hit the side of the neck of Zhuanxu YeBai with a chop to render him unconscious. Because as of now, Ling Ai"s strength has far surpa.s.sed the current Zhuanxu YeBai in terms of cultivation and chi.

Ling Ai had approximately 5 kilometers vision range from his eyes of divinity and with it, she saw a deadly pack of beasts with red tier roaming around the river within 1 kilometer. So she made sure her Master"s safety first by checking the 5 kilometers radius from where they"re standing and disabling him temporarily as soon as she confirmed that there are no other deadly beasts around except the path she is going.
Zhuanxu YeBai realized it that he will be hit by Ling Ai. And he just let Ling Ai hit him even though he can dodge it with just a low cultivator"s body. Because he was already a battle-hardened Emperor that war reflexes were already built-in within his spirit.
After Ling Ai confirmed her Master"s safety. She didn"t waste any time and she swiftly leaped from the trees to eliminate the deadly beasts roaming around the river.
