The morning sunrays were shining brightly, illuminating the world, and under the warm sun's gaze, two people were walking through the forest.
Zhang Yuan and Ming Yuelin were strolling through the dense forest and Ming Yuelin's eyes were glancing around the forest in fear.
Among the forest, she could see some dark red eyes peering into her soul.
*gik* Her body took a screenshot in fear and she gently clutched Zhang Yuan's robe.
"M-Master, why are we here in the forest below the mountain? There are many spirit beats here. I thought we were going to have our usual morning walk to the lake."
With a faint chuckle, Zhang Yuan spoke "Don't worry, they won't attack you."
"And we are here to gather some herbs."
Ming Yuelin looked around cautiously and noticed that all the spirit beasts were glaring at her, but not attacking her as if they were afraid of something.
She turned to look at her Master and saw the faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Are they afraid of Master?
As Zhang Yuan's gaze fell on a plant with black berries, he smiled "Here it is, Schisandra Berry."
Ming Yuelin who was tugging at his robes, walked beside him like an obedient child and saw the black berries on the plant.
"Master, we came here to pluck some berries to eat?"
To eat? Zhang Yuan nodded his head "Yeah."
Ohhh! Curious, she reached out and plucked a berry from the plant, tossing it in her mouth.
As she munched down the berry, she frowned "Master, there is no taste to it."
Zhang Yuan smiled teasingly "You actually ate that? It is poison."
What? Ming Yuelin was startled and seeing his teasing smile, she scoffed "No Master, I am your precious disciple and I know you won't feed poison to me and you are just teas- *cough*"
Suddenly she felt her throat burning and her pupils dilated in shock "Master, urgh, my throat."
Zhang Yuan shrugged casually "I told you, it's a poison."
*woosh* At this time, Mei Yu appeared there with a basket in her hand "My Lord, here."
As she showed the basket, Zhang Yuan placed the berries on the basket, and Mei Yu saw Ming Yuelin clutching her throat.
"Little sister, what happened?"
Ming Yuelin rubbed her throat "*cough* Sister Yu, I ate that poisonous berry."
Eh? Poisonous? This berry? Mei Yu glanced at Zhang Yuan and seeing his smile, she showed a shocked face "L-Little sister, you actually ate this berry? It is poison."
Ming Yuelin's heart sank, Then master is not kidding? "*cough* Urgh... is there medication for this?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head and let out a sigh "No, haah, I finally thought I got a great disciple but it can't be helped. It seems like the spirit beasts in this forest will get a good feast today."
°?(???;)?° "Waa, Master... h-help me, I am your disciple, right?" Ming Yuelin grabbed his hand and shook him, pleading.
Seeing this, Mei Yu couldn't control her laughter and said, "Little sister, don't worry, you won't die. It's not poison."
Huh? Ming Yuelin blinked her eyes in confusion "A-Are you sure? My throat is burning."
"That berry is like ginger. It just burns the throat a little, haha. The effect will fade after a few seconds."
At the same time, Ming Yuelin also felt the burning subside and turned her gaze to Zhang Yuan.
-_- Master?
Seeing her stupified face, Zhang Yuan chuckled in amusement and she averted her eyes with a pout "I hate you, Master." however, her arms around his hand tightened.
Zhang Yuan gently patted her head and Ming Yuelin turned her gaze to him "Master, why are you collecting the herbs?"
"I am preparing a medicinal bath for you."
"Medicinal bath?" Ming Yuelin tilted her head.
Zhang Yuan gave a nod "Yeah, to refine your skin and nourish your body all together. It will also soothe your soul."
Hearing this, Ming Yuelin was surprised, but then a soft smile took over her lips and her eyes grew tender "I will work hard for you, Master."
"Yeah, you just have to condense the Gold profound sea."
-_- Master!
...
As they continued their walk, they reached a small pond and his eyes fell on the white lotuses that were in the center of the lake.
"Stay here; I will go and take those white lotus seeds."
"En."
*swoosh* As Zhang Yuan took another step, he was right in front of the lotus, standing above the water.
He raised his hand, and the lotus itself floated in his palm.
"Hm, there's a decent amount of seeds."
Ming Yuelin was amazed to see Zhang Yuan, as he disappeared in a blink and is now standing on water.
"Master is really powerful, heh. But I want to see him fight some beasts."
Mei Yu chuckled upon hearing this "I told you, the Lord is above the concept of cultivation and heavens. The beasts here are scared to go near him and that's what protects you."
"If not, the beasts here would have eaten you with no bones remaining."
Hmmm! Ming Yuelin was bewildered and again glimpsed at the beautiful man standing amidst the serenity of the lake, the sun casting a warm glow on him.
*swish* Zhang Yuan appeared in front of them "Let's continue. We only need two more herbs."
However, Ming Yuelin spoke "Master, I want to see you fight."
Heh? Zhang Yuan smiled softly "Want to see me fight?"
"Yeah, as a disciple... I want to see how powerful my master is."
Zhang Yuan nodded his head "Yeah, fair. so, you want me to fight a beast?"
Ming Yuelin gave a nod "Hm, Master... those two big wolves we saw when we walked down here."
"Ok, let's go there."
...
Ming Yuelin raised her head and looked at the 10 meter-tall wolf covered with purple and black fur.
"awwuuhh." The two wolves howled and bowed their heads to the ground, showing their respect to Zhang Yuan.
-_- Eh? Ming Yuelin was dumbfounded "Master, why is it not attacking?"
Mei Yu smiled wryly "It is still scared of My Lord."
Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly "Never mind that? So how do you want me to kill it?"
Ming Yuelin was confused by the sudden question and blurted out "Uh, ehm, roast it?"
*THHRIISHHH* In the next instant, one of the wolves burned in fire and it howled loudly in pain "AWUHHHHHH!!"
*gik* Ming Yuelin's body flinched and she hugged Zhang Yuan's arm. "Master."
*thud* The roasted body of the wolf fell to the ground and the other wolf was scared shitless, thinking about in which fashion was it going to be killed.
"A-Awuhhh."
Ming Yuelin was astounded to see Zhang Yuan actually roasted the one wolf "M-Master you are amazing."
At this time, Mei Yu spoke "My Lord, do this attack next." she spoke and muttered something in his ear.
Hearing her whisper, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.
*THOOOMMM* Suddenly, the whole world trembled for a second and Ming Yuelin hugged Zhang Yuan's arm for support "M-Master, earth quake? What did you do?"
*BOOOOMMM* The sky instantly became dark with looming dark clouds, forming a swirling vortex right above their heads.
Ming Yuelin's eyes shook in shock upon seeing this "T-This... I have seen this before. The tribulation lightning of the Heavens?"
The wolf raised its head and gulped hard. OH MY FUCKING GOD! I AM DOOMED!
*THRIISHHHHHH* Bolts of blue lightning danced across the clouds and in the next instant, the condensed force of the lightning fell on the ground.
*BBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM SAKALAKA*
