They had been searching here for quite so ti, and it was now nearing dusk, but they still hadn't found anything. This left Ye Tian feeling rather surprised.
Still, despite the oddity, it made sense upon closer thought.
The spiritual energy here was thin, so the chances of finding spirit herbs were significantly lower. It wasn't like before, when he could casually find them with ease.
"Han Zhengyun, looks like I miscalculated. I didn't expect it to be this difficult to find spirit herbs in this area."
"In that case, since we haven't found anything, why don't we just head back?"
"Don't you want to improve your strength?"
The whole reason Ye Tian ca here was to find spirit herbs that could help Han Zhengyun enhance her cultivation. At that mont, Han Zhengyun replied, "Of course I want to beco stronger. But just like you said, the chances of finding spirit herbs here are really low. Since it's a fruitless effort, we might as well go back."
Ye Tian thought for a mont. She had a point—if they kept searching and still found nothing, there really wasn't much reason to stay.
But then again, they had already co all this way. To return just like that felt like a waste. Ye Tian was never one to give up easily, so he said, "No, let's not go back just yet. There's nothing waiting for us if we return. If Wang Tianhu sees you again, do you think you'd stand a chance against him?"
"Of course not. He's considered a top expert around here. With my current level of strength, if I ran into him, I wouldn't be able to resist him at all."
"Well, since you already know you can't fight back if you et him, then that's all the more reason to improve your strength."
"But we haven't found any spirit herbs!"
"It's not that there aren't any—it's just that we haven't found them yet. That doesn't an we won't find them tomorrow. From what I've learned, the thin spiritual energy here makes it extrely difficult for spirit herbs to grow, so they must be very rare. But that doesn't an they don't exist. Trust , as long as we don't give up, we'll eventually find sothing."
"Alright then. Since you're not giving up, I won't either. You're doing all of this for my sake—if I were to quit now, that would be far too ungrateful of ."
As night fell, Ye Tian decided they would rest here for the night. As for tomorrow—whether they could find the herbs they needed would depend on luck.
Afterward, Ye Tian set up a tent and said to Han Zhengyun, "You'll have to rough it out here tonight. That okay with you?"
"No problem at all. I'll make do for the night, and we'll continue our search tomorrow."
"Great, that works out perfectly."
The night sky was filled with stars. They chatted for a while before crawling into the tent to sleep.
Late into the night, the sound of wolves howling echoed from outside. Startled by the noise, Han Zhengyun opened the tent flap to take a look. What she saw shocked her: a large pack of wild wolves had surrounded them.
"Why are there so many wolves?"
Fear gripped her heart. She quickly shook Ye Tian awake and said, "Sothing's wrong! A pack of wolves has surrounded us!"
"Wolves?"
Ye Tian had already heard the howling earlier, but he wasn't the least bit afraid. He replied calmly, "So what if it's a pack of wolves? Don't worry, I already set up a barrier. They won't be able to get through."
"But I'm still scared! If there's anything you can do, can you handle it? Just in case they do get through, things could get really dangerous!"
"What are you afraid of?"
Ye Tian stepped out of the tent. He'd assud it was just a few wolves, but seeing how many there actually were, he was genuinely surprised.
"Whoa—why are there so many wolves here?"
Even so, Ye Tian said confidently, "Don't worry. Numbers an nothing. They're still no match for ."
With a few swift strikes, Ye Tian took down the wolves—killing or severely wounding them all. After a short while, he called back to her, "See? These wolves were never a threat to us!"
"Ugh, I can't sleep anymore. It's almost morning anyway… Why don't you stay up and chat with for a while?"
Hearing that she wanted to talk, Ye Tian said, "Alright. What do you want to talk about?"
"I've always wondered about your background. I used to think you were so kind of celestial being, but now… you really don't seem like a deity. You're clearly just a real, living person. So tell —are you a god or not?"
"Didn't I already explain when your mother asked? I'm not so celestial from the heavens. I just co from another ti and space. But if it makes things easier for you, you can think of as a god. It's just a title—it doesn't really matter to ."
"Well then… can you stay at my house forever? Never leave?"
"Why would you say that? This world doesn't belong to . Even though I'm here for now, I'll eventually leave. That's just how it is. Once I find a way back, I'll definitely return to where I ca from."
"But I really want you to stay. Ever since you showed up, you've helped solve so many problems. If you leave… what am I supposed to do? What if Wang Tianhu cos back to cause trouble again—how am I supposed to deal with that?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Didn't I already tell you? I've thought about everything. During the ti I'm here, I'll do everything I can to help you increase your strength. Once you're strong enough, you'll be able to handle anything on your own. If he tries to co after you again, I'm telling you—he won't stand a chance."
Strength was everything. Once her power increased, would Wang Tianhu still dare to co make trouble?
Only if he had a death wish.
After hearing everything Ye Tian said, Han Zhengyun finally felt reassured.
