Of course I can

"Let go of me, you damn pervert!"

Amidst her startled cry, Chu Xiaobei had the intention to shake Su Lang off.

However, she was worried that Su Lang's small frame wouldn't be able to withstand her power. Thus, just like before her injuries had healed, she could only be angry and annoyed without any way to deal with him.

As the two of them flew, they eventually reached the outskirts of the city.

"Chu Xiaobei, you're fast, you fly."

Su Lang stopped and spoke to Chu Xiaobei.

"I can't find the way!"

Chu Xiaobei frowned.

"It doesn't matter if you can't find it; I'll navigate for you." Su Lang smiled slightly.

"What is 'navigate'?"

Chu Xiaobei's face was full of confusion.

"It means to give directions."

Su Lang let go of Chu Xiaobei's arm and laughed, "Hurry up now."

"Fine."

Chu Xiaobei nodded helplessly, then immediately wrapped Su Lang with her Mental Energy.

This was using Mental Object Manipulation, except the 'object' being manipulated was the person Su Lang.

It sounded quite exciting!

"Let's go!"

Chu Xiaobei gave a reminder and then dashed out.

"Whoa! So fast!"

"Giddy-up~!"

"Su Lang, you big pervert, you're looking for death!"

"…"

After a period of flying…

Su Lang and Chu Xiaobei stopped at a place still quite far from the Wuyang Demon Cave.

Because of the Treasure-Seeking Flying Squirrels' detection, Su Lang was very clear about the layout of the Wuyang Demon Cave, and naturally knew the distribution range of the sentries posted outside.

"The Wuyang Demon Cave is right here."

Su Lang held a map and said to Chu Xiaobei, "Just watch from a distance if I don't send you a message. Only come over to help once I do."

"Are you sure you can do it?"

Chu Xiaobei frowned slightly.

"Of course I can!"

Su Lang said with conviction.

As a man, could he ever say the words 'I can't'?

"Alright, then you must be careful."

Chu Xiaobei nodded helplessly, then her expression shifted as she took out an item and handed it to Su Lang.

It was a somewhat damaged veil.

Su Lang had seen it before; this veil was Chu Xiaobei's only Sacred Artifact, named the ice cloud illusion heaven sash.

The grade of the ice cloud illusion heaven sash was Six-Star Saint-Grade, possessing powerful ice-attribute attack and defense capabilities, as well as very bizarre illusion abilities.

However, this veil was likely damaged during Chu Xiaobei's battle while fleeing, resulting in it only being able to exert the power of a two or three-star level now.

A Sacred Artifact was incredibly important to a Martial Saint, almost comparable to their own life!

Yet now, Chu Xiaobei was actually lending Su Lang the Sacred Artifact she hadn't even had time to repair yet for his protection.

"That's very kind of you."

"But I have no use for this thing."

A warm smile rose on Su Lang's face.

"Hmph, fine then if you don't want it!"

Chu Xiaobei rolled her eyes and instantly put away the ice cloud illusion heaven sash.

"Oh, right, when I have time, I'll repair it for you."

Su Lang's smile remained unchanged. "Besides Alchemy, I'm also very skilled at Artifact Refining!"

"You're just full of hot air."

Chu Xiaobei rolled her eyes even harder.

For a mere Martial Emperor, it was one thing for his Alchemy attainments to be so inconceivable, but to also be skilled in the Dao of Artifact Refining? How were others supposed to live?

"Haha, it's settled then."

Su Lang didn't care whether Chu Xiaobei believed him or not; he left those words and flew toward the Wuyang Demon Cave.

Chu Xiaobei shouted, "Make sure to be careful! Don't make me collect your corpse, you big pervert!"

"Got it!"

Su Lang replied, gradually disappearing into the distance.

Chu Xiaobei paused in place for a moment, then flew high into the sky, following Su Lang from a distance.

With her Six-Star Martial Saint Realm and Nine-Star Martial Saint combat power, wanting to follow Su Lang silently was simply too easy… Su Lang already had a plan for the Wuyang Demon Cave and was full of confidence.

After flying for a while, he directly used Clone Dispatch, sending a Clone to a deserted corner he had scouted earlier.

Nothing happened.

This indicated that the Yangxu Martial Saint did not maintain a large-scale mental perception at all times.

"Clone Replacement!"

With a thought, Su Lang arrived inside the Wuyang Demon Cave!

At the same time, Chu Xiaobei, sitting atop the clouds, looked at the Su Lang ahead with suspicion; she felt as if Su Lang had instantly become different!

Was it an illusion?

It wasn't. The Su Lang under her nose had already become a Clone.

And right at that moment, this Clone also vanished.
