Chapter 2325 - 2324: The Plan
Upon hearing Ling Feng’s words, Mu Mu and Xiao Xiao felt warm inside.
The two girls exchanged glances, each understanding the other’s thoughts, but neither said anything.
"Alright, take this chance to eat something while resting, and then focus on your cultivation. I’ll be your protector!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Thanks, brother!"
The two girls simultaneously expressed their gratitude in soft voices, then picked up some roasted meat to eat.
Watching them enjoy their food, Ling Feng felt great, filled with a sense of accomplishment.
After eating their fill, Xiao Xiao looked at him and asked, "Brother, aren’t you going to eat something?"
"Seeing you eat makes me happy, I’m not hungry at all!" Ling Feng replied with a smile.
"You’re so kind."
Xiao Xiao murmured, blushing, and quickly turned her face away.
Mu Mu, not wanting to be outdone, chimed in, "Brother, I also think you’re a great person!"
"Enough with the praise, focus on your cultivation and strive to break through to the Core Formation Realm soon!" Ling Feng laughed.
The two girls nodded and resumed absorbing Xuan Qi.
It was still afternoon, the sky bright and clear, yet the three decided to camp here, not planning to leave for now.
Watching them absorb Xuan Qi, Ling Feng sat quietly nearby, lost in thought, wondering how Ling Yao and the others were doing now.
This thought brought on a wave of longing, and Ling Feng found himself distracted.
Fortunately, his current realm was quite advanced, enabling him to detect any disturbances around him almost immediately.
Time passed slowly, and soon, the sun set.
Mu Mu and Xiao Xiao seemed to be in a contest, both absorbed in drawing Xuan Qi, refining it within themselves to elevate their realms.
Though Ling Feng felt a bit bored, watching the girls’ concentration filled him with joy, even more than if his own realm had elevated.
Before long, it was midnight.
Ling Feng was staring into the dark forest when a sudden noise broke the silence!
He turned to see steam rising from Xiao Xiao’s head, her eyes opening.
Her eyes had changed, now sparkling like a sky full of stars!
Witnessing this, Ling Feng’s heart raced, quickly asking, "Did you break through?"
"Brother, I’ve reached the Core Formation Realm!"
Xiao Xiao exclaimed with excitement.
"That’s wonderful!"
Just as Ling Feng stood up to congratulate her, Mu Mu’s body erupted with energy waves, and she also opened her eyes.
Ling Feng froze mid-step, staring at her in amazement, "Did you break through too?"
"Yes, brother, I also reached the Core Formation Realm, just a bit slower than Xiao Xiao!" Mu Mu said, a little displeased.
"A slight delay doesn’t matter as long as you both break through; that’s an enormous success!"
Ling Feng smiled and continued, "From now on, in this Dark Forest, you two are in charge of protecting me!"
"Alright, next time we encounter any beasts, leave them to us!" Mu Mu said with a laugh, patting her chest.
"It’s a pity it’s so late, otherwise we should really celebrate!" Ling Feng chuckled.
"It’s not too late; I’ll head into the forest to hunt now and see what I can find. If there’s something tasty, I’ll bring it back for you!"
Mu Mu said, turning to leave.
Xiao Xiao, unwilling to be left behind, said, "I’m going too!"
"Be careful and stay alert!"
Ling Feng did not stop them but offered a word of caution.
"Got it!"
Mu Mu and Xiao Xiao simultaneously nodded, quickly entering the forest.
Ling Feng sat on the grass, feeling a surge of excitement.
The girls’ realms had surpassed his in no time, yet he felt no sense of loss, only immense pride.
Ling Feng believed it wouldn’t be long before he advanced to the Core Formation Realm himself, then he wouldn’t need to fear that Golden Armor General anymore.
Moreover, with time, leading them to the Dragon Clan’s lair, they could cause quite a stir!
Of course, Ling Feng knew that with the current realm, this wouldn’t be easy; unless elevating to the Nascent Soul Realm, Dragon Clan’s high-level warriors were challenging to defeat.
Additionally, Ling Feng hoped to guide the people of Ling Family Village and Mu Family Fort into the ranks of cultivators, enabling them to become experts above Core Formation, making confronting the Dragon Clan more feasible.
Achieving this goal required a long journey ahead.
Ling Feng contemplated his future plans, and before he realized it, Mu Mu and Xiao Xiao returned.
Carrying a medium-sized beast and several green fruits, both girls returned to Ling Feng, brimming with joy.
Seeing their spoils, Ling Feng chuckled, "Not bad, you found this in such a short time!"
"Just luck!"
Xiao Xiao grinned, setting down the beast, "Brother, this is an Aromatic Beast, and its body contains a fragrant pouch!"
"I’m getting a hint of the aroma; it’s quite pleasant."
Ling Feng nodded, "Does the scent have any special properties?"
"Yes, it can be used in medicine and as a special tracking method. Generally, once stained with this scent, it doesn’t dissipate for about a month!" Xiao Xiao explained.
"Take a look at what I’ve found, this is Sweet Fruit! Despite its green appearance, it’s very juicy and exceptionally sweet!" Mu Mu chimed in.
"Really? You’ve both worked hard!"
Ling Feng smiled and then said, "Let’s sit down and rest first."
"Okay."
The two girls sat down beside him on either side.
Then Xiao Xiao looked up at the mountain wall behind them, "Brother, the crystals produced here are very useful. Should we excavate more after sunrise?"
"Yes, I thought the same. If there are plenty of crystals, let’s gather as many as we can take back, so everyone can quickly grow!" Ling Feng replied.
"I agree, and with a unit of over one hundred Core Formation cultivators, we’ll have the strength to fight the Dragon Clan!" Xiao Xiao stated.
"One hundred isn’t enough; ideally, we’ll need a number above a thousand to have a chance!" Ling Feng suggested.
"But the two villages combined only total about a thousand, with nearly half being the elderly, women, and children!" Xiao Xiao replied.
"That’s alright; there are other villages nearby, so we can always find enough people!" Ling Feng said with a grin.
"I know a place fifty miles south of Mu Family Fort, there’s a town called Spirit Spring, with several thousand residents!" Mu Mu mentioned.
"That should be enough then!"
Ling Feng nodded, "Once we return, let’s organize everyone to absorb Xuan Qi, then we’ll visit Spirit Spring Town!"
Though it was late at night, none of the three felt sleepy, chatting cheerfully on the grass.
As the sky gradually brightened, before the sun rose, Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu could no longer contain their excitement and scaled the cliff.
