"Miss Luo Yingying, I am just an insignificant nobody. I cannot bear this responsibility," Ning Beichen said quickly.
"No, you can. Your appearance is not an accident. It must be fate's arrangement," Luo Yingying said to Ning Beichen excitedly.
Ning Beichen's eyelids twitched again, and he said to her with a wry smile.
"Miss Luo Yingying, I will take you somewhere, and you will know."
Ning Beichen had no choice. He prepared to take her to see reality, as he truly did not want to be a savior.
"Alright."
Ever since Luo Yingying regarded Ning Beichen as a savior, her attitude towards him had changed significantly.
To save time, Ning Beichen prepared to take her to fly on his sword to the ruins.
As a result, a single sentence from Luo Yingying instantly shattered Ning Beichen's confidence.
"Your sword-flying speed is too slow, and many steps are incorrect. You should do it this way..."
Luo Yingying could not help but instruct Ning Beichen, which made him feel both ashamed and excited. He quickly discarded his pride and started learning from her.
Before, Ning Beichen had been quite satisfied with himself. After all, he had even figured out sword-flying. He almost thought he was a talent without precedent or successor.
Now, he realized that in Luo Yingying's eyes, his sword-flying was extremely crude and primitive. It almost crushed him completely.
What shocked Ning Beichen even more was that sword-flying did not necessarily require a real sword.
Because Luo Yingying was stepping on two palm-sized swords condensed from her own qi, making her look like a fairy flying in the air, and her speed was many times faster than Ning Beichen's.
However, Ning Beichen could not do what Luo Yingying could. He still needed a real sword as a medium and to utilize formation arrays to achieve sword-flying.
But after Luo Yingying's guidance, Ning Beichen's sword-flying was infinitely better than before. His speed increased several times, and he solved the problem of constantly being buffeted by the wind while flying.
Moreover, taking someone along while sword-flying was not as difficult as he had thought.
Do not underestimate these small techniques. Without guidance, Ning Beichen might not have figured them out even after several more years, as these techniques were the culmination of countless predecessors' wisdom and efforts.
Not long after, Ning Beichen brought her down from the sky.
Upon seeing the place, Luo Yingying was stunned. Her entire demeanor became dazed, her fists clenched, and she radiated a fierce aura.
Ning Beichen cautiously tried to distance himself from her. Who knew if this woman would suddenly self-destruct? He did not want to be buried with her.
Although she was beautiful, exquisitely beautiful, Ning Beichen would not want to be buried with her. Therefore, he planned to escape immediately if anything seemed amiss.
Fortunately, this did not happen. Soon after, Luo Yingying's emotions returned to normal, though Ning Beichen was unsure if it was truly normal. As long as she did not go mad, that was fine.
Just as Ning Beichen was about to say something to comfort her, he saw Luo Yingying suddenly grab Ning Beichen by the collar and instantly pull him into the sky.
"Miss Luo Yingying, what... what are you doing?"
Ning Beichen was startled. He was genuinely frightened by her actions and could not fathom what this woman intended.
King Yan was in such a disheveled state for the first time. He used to threaten others, but now he was being threatened, even held hostage, by a woman.
"I want to go back and see," Luo Yingying said to Ning Beichen expressionlessly.
Ning Beichen was immediately speechless. If you want to go back, go back. Why are you taking me with you? What is this?
However, Ning Beichen dared not complain. He said kindly,
"Miss Luo Yingying, let me go. You can go back by yourself. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't be going with you."
Ning Beichen said to her cautiously.
"No, you are the savior. I need you," Luo Yingying told Ning Beichen.
"This damned phrase again."
Ning Beichen was unwilling in his heart, but this woman's strength was too terrifying. Even with his grievances, Ning Beichen dared not voice them. He could only use a circuitous and gentle approach.
"Miss Luo Yingying, I don't have a problem going with you. But I have companions waiting for me. Even if I have to go, I need to inform them, or they will worry about me."
Ning Beichen had no choice but to tell her.
"Direction," Luo Yingying said only two words.
Ning Beichen had no choice but to point in a direction. Before Ning Beichen could say anything, Luo Yingying grabbed him and they instantly sped away.
Not long after, Luo Yingying brought Ning Beichen down from the sky.
"Who's there?" Yan Xiong, who was in the camp, immediately sensed movement and rushed out.
"It's me," Ning Beichen said.
Although his collar was still held by Luo Yingying, he worried that if he did not speak quickly, Yan Xiong might anger her.
"Master, you're back. Who is she?"
Hearing Ning Beichen's voice, Yan Xiong was instantly relieved. Then he saw Ning Beichen and a woman as beautiful as a fairy appear before his eyes.
"This is Miss Luo. Do not be disrespectful to her," Ning Beichen said.
"Yes, Master," Yan Xiong replied immediately.
"Miss Luo Yingying, can I go and explain things to them?" Ning Beichen asked Luo Yingying.
Luo Yingying nodded. Ning Beichen immediately dragged Yan Xiong back to the camp, woke everyone up, and then Ning Beichen explained to them that he would be leaving for a while and asked them to wait for his return.
Ning Beichen did not say much else and did not reveal Luo Yingying's true identity, lest they panic or make a fuss.
Fortunately, Ning Beichen was their leader, and his words were commands, so they naturally dared not say anything.
After Ning Beichen finished explaining, he nodded to Luo Yingying. Luo Yingying probably had no interest in paying attention to these weak individuals. In her eyes, Ning Beichen himself was weak, let alone them.
If Ning Beichen did not have the ability to resist annihilation, Luo Yingying would likely have treated him as an insignificant ant and destroyed him with a single breath if she felt displeased.
With a boom.
Luo Yingying grabbed Ning Beichen and soared into the sky, turning into a shooting star and vanishing into the distance, leaving the people below gaping in shock.
Before this, they had not realized that Luo Yingying was such a powerful woman.
Yan Xiong, in particular, secretly rejoiced that he had not offended her.
Indeed, the master is powerful, and the women who accompany the master are equally powerful. Crucially, this woman is so beautiful that anyone would pale in comparison to her.
Even Yan Xiong had never seen such a beautiful woman in the mortal realm.
