After a little while, Zhu Fei had already moved into a rather luxurious and spacious tent arranged by Avana.
At the sa ti, various fruits, beverages, and delicacies were also sent over by Avana.
According to Avana, since Zhu Fei had co to their Maple Tribe, he was their guest.
As the Princess of the Maple Tribe, and the one who personally led Zhu Fei here, she naturally needed to play the perfect hostess and ensure that no courtesy was lacking.
And at that mont, Zhu Fei was not at all polite; facing the food presented to him, he started feasting heartily.
It wasn’t that Zhu Fei lacked manners, it was just that he was almost starving to death at that point.
Severe injuries combined with depleted mana, and being unable to draw Spiritual Energy from his surroundings, had severely diminished Zhu Fei’s physical strength over the past couple of days.
So, for now, he could only resort to the food of the mortal world to provide so relief to his current physical condition.
In no ti at all, the food Avana had sent was completely devoured by him.
It was only then that Zhu Fei began to feel a bit better.
Even though his injuries had not healed in any way, his stamina had considerably recovered.
He believed that if he faced the crocodile monster from earlier now, he wouldn’t need to expend much effort to deal with it easily.
"Zhu Fei, Sister Xiao Die is here, may we co in now?"
Just then, Avana’s crisp voice suddenly rang from outside the tent where Zhu Fei was.
Hearing this, Zhu Fei imdiately stood up and personally opened the tent’s entrance, offering a warm smile, "Please co in."
Zhu Fei was very polite. After all, he was staying on the Maple Tribe’s territory.
Moreover, Avana had extended him life-saving assistance; it was only right and proper for Zhu Fei to be courteous to them, both in sentint and in principle.
"Hehe..."
Avana gave Zhu Fei a smile and then entered the tent with Long ngdie.
"Avana, I have so important matters to discuss with Zhu Fei, could you please step out for a bit if that’s okay?"
As soon as they entered the tent, Long ngdie turned to Avana with a smile and spoke softly.
Avana was anable and responded by sticking out her tongue in a cute gesture, nodding her head, and after giving Zhu Fei a wink, she cheerfully left.
Zhu Fei was sowhat perplexed by Avana’s actions, but before he could collect his thoughts, he suddenly heard Long ngdie next to him say:
"Fellow Cultivator Zhu, I wonder if you ca here from so relic?"
At these words, Zhu Fei felt a chill in his heart and looked at Long ngdie with a guarded expression.
Long ngdie seed to guess what Zhu Fei was thinking and couldn’t help but give a wry smile, then said:
"Don’t misunderstand, Fellow Cultivator Zhu. Truth be told, the circumstances of most Cultivators who have strayed into the Vacuum Domain are quite similar to yours; either due to so special reason or because they ca from so relic."
Pausing for a mont, Long ngdie noticed that Zhu Fei did not seem to react much to her words and continued:
"Zhu Fei, if I’m not mistaken, your cultivation should have completely vanished by now, right? And for the ti being, you can’t absorb any Spiritual Energy from the surrounding area."
Hearing Long ngdie say this, Zhu Fei’s expression finally changed slightly, and he said with so uncertainty, "Long, what do you an...?"
Although Zhu Fei and Long ngdie had not disclosed each other’s identities so far, both of them were astute and had already understood the identity of the other as a Cultivator.
Therefore, Zhu Fei addressed Long ngdie in the sa manner she had addressed him, using the term of respect among peers, ’fellow Daoist.’
At Zhu Fei’s question, Long ngdie imdiately nodded and said,
"Indeed, you might have already guessed that any Cultivator who enters the Vacuum Domain will be suppressed by its rules. Apart from the physical body, there is little difference between them and ordinary people."
"Furthermore, even if you attempt to use your own Cultivation Technique to draw in Spiritual Energy from the surroundings in order to restore your True Yuan or Mana, it’s simply not possible. And that is the real reason this place is called the Vacuum Domain."
"Does that an, once a Cultivator enters the Vacuum Domain, they can never leave?"
At this mont, Zhu Fei’s complexion turned completely pale.
While he had vaguely guessed the possibility before,
hearing Long ngdie personally confirm this news stirred great turmoil in Zhu Fei’s heart.
What kind of joke is this? Being unable to leave the Vacuum Domain—what exactly does that entail?
No matter which Cultivator it was, they would find such an outco unbearable, and Zhu Fei was no exception.
However, Long ngdie’s subsequent reply provided Zhu Fei with a sliver of unexpected hope.
She first nodded and then gently shook her head.
"Under normal circumstances, what you said is correct; any Cultivator entering here cannot leave this place in their lifeti. However, there are exceptions, and at least for , as long as I find the right thod, leaving the Vacuum Domain is not impossible."
Long ngdie’s expression was gentle, but her words were filled with absolute confidence.
With that, the uncertainties that had filled Zhu Fei’s mind did not get clarified; instead, they grew even more confusing.
He truly could not understand why Long ngdie was seeking him out, besides informing him about the real situation of the Vacuum Domain—what else could there be?
If she had sought him out just to discuss these matters with him, Zhu Fei would never believe it.
Therefore, Zhu Fei did not rush to speak but quietly observed Long ngdie with an inquiring look, waiting for her further explanation.
Sure enough, Long ngdie did not make Zhu Fei wait for too long, and after a brief pause, she spoke again,
"However, the thod I just ntioned still requires so ti to verify, and I need to leave the Maple Tribe for a while. Therefore, I’m hoping that during the ti I’m away, you can take my place to protect the Maple Tribe. What do you say, Zhu Fei?"
Upon hearing Long ngdie’s request, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.
After all this ti, it turned out that Long ngdie was trying to recruit him to stand in for her.
Although, out of consideration for Avana, it wouldn’t be unacceptable for him to help protect the Maple Tribe for a ti if he were truly capable.
But Long ngdie’s mistake lay in the way she approached him with this request—it felt a bit like taking advantage of a favor, and Zhu Fei felt displeased. Naturally, his tone was no longer as polite as it had been at the start.
"Isn’t that a bit presumptuous, Long? Given my current situation, even if I wanted to help you protect the Maple Tribe, I’m afraid I’m powerless to do so. I would think, with your discernnt, you could see my current condition, couldn’t you?"
