Ye Qingzhou's spirit surged, and he immediately used the Dragon Ascending Sword Intent to break free from Kang Jinlong's Dragon Power suppression.

This move was understood from the Heart Sword Secret Technique and perfectly reflected Ye Qingzhou's life in his previous incarnation.

Some people are born warriors, never yielding, never resigned, with grand ambitions, wanting to compare heights with the Azure Heaven!

I just came here to work, not to be bullied. Do you want to be my dad too?

Ye Qingzhou stood with his back straight, his eyes bursting with Sword Intent, staring directly into Kang Jinlong's pure and flawless Dragon Eye: "A self-proclaimed noble god, yet you can only seek help from me, a humble mortal. Ridiculous."

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"Naturally, I am afraid."

"Then why do you dare to defy my will?"

"Because you can't kill me."

"Mortal, you are too arrogant!"

Boom~

Kang Jinlong used divine power to harness heavenly thunder, transforming it into a giant dragon claw, striking fiercely at Ye Qingzhou as a punishment.

However, Ye Qingzhou was already prepared to turn hostile.

Divine Speed!

Soaring Step!

In a swift motion, Ye Qingzhou turned into a white light, as if treading on a somersault cloud, dashing away gracefully.

It wasn't until he disappeared over the distant horizon that Ye Qingzhou's voice faintly reached, "A favorable wind lends me strength, sends me to Qingyun, I'm gone, don't miss me."

Rumbling~

The thunder dragon claw struck nothing, collapsing half of a mountain top in vain.

Kang Jinlong, frustrated and furious, howled, causing the sea of clouds to churn, and silver snakes to dance chaotically.

Unfortunately, Ye Qingzhou had long since vanished, and everything Kang Jinlong did was nothing but impotent rage.

......

In the camp, Xu Yuebing was bathing in a nearby hot spring, still concerned about a certain someone: "That guy, will he encounter any mishaps outside? Maybe I should discuss it with the instructor..."

Swish~

Boom~

The hot spring water splashed, and suddenly there was an extra person, a man without clothes.

"Ah!!!"

Xu Yuebing let out a scream, snatching up a towel with her left hand to wrap her body, while her right hand swiftly drew the Floating Snow Sword placed beside her, stabbing through the hazy mist.

In the end, the sword tip of the Floating Snow Sword was firmly caught by Ye Qingzhou with two fingers.

"It's me."

"Hmm? Ye Qingzhou!"

"Who else could it be other than me?"

Xu Yuebing then remembered the heart sword sensation between her and Ye Qingzhou, confirming his identity.

At this point, Zhu Jinfeng and a few other girls also rushed in, wearing bathrobes and holding towels, looking tense: "Xu Yuebing, what's happening?"

"Did you encounter an enemy?"

What met their eyes instead was the sight of Ye Qingzhou and Xu Yuebing face to face in the water.

"Ahem~ Sorry, sorry to interrupt."

"You all shouldn't shout so loudly if there's nothing wrong, be mindful of the impact."

The girls teased for a moment, then left with cheerful smiles.

After they left, Xu Yuebing glared at Ye Qingzhou with a blushing face: "It's all your fault! Coming in without clothes, don't you know this is a women's only bath?"

"Do you think I wanted to?"

Ye Qingzhou was also helpless; his escape was so fast that even the grass skirt couldn't hold on.

Having no other clothes to wear, he had no choice but to follow the mutual understanding sense and come to Xu Yuebing for help: "Lend me some clothes."

"Are you an idiot? All my clothes are women's!"

"Why aren't there any men's clothes?"

"I'm a girl; why would I have men's clothes?"

"You don't expect me to wear women's clothes, do you?"

"Where are your clothes?"

"The wind was too strong, blew them away."

Ye Qingzhou answered honestly. After all, his body, strengthened by the cultivation technique of Refining True Gold in Fire, could withstand supersonic flight, but his clothes could not.

"I can't believe you! Wait here!"

Xu Yuebing then went to borrow clothes from Leon and Miao Yi, ensuring Ye Qingzhou wouldn't end up wearing women's clothes in public.

"Master Ye, I heard that you and Xu Yuebing were having a romantic bath together, how charming."

Leon was utterly impressed with Ye Qingzhou, while everyone else at Lingyun Grotto Heaven was being cautious and prudent.

Yet Ye Qingzhou, like he was on vacation, had time and sentiment to flirt.

Perhaps this relaxation is something only the strong can afford.

Ye Qingzhou was speechless: "How did you know about this affair?"

Miao Yi quipped: "Everyone in the camp knows it."

"Rumors can be deadly."

Ye Qingzhou concluded, but Miao Yi and Leon still seemed to find the rumor more believable.

In the dead of night.

The camp was silent at this time.

Everyone was resting well, recharging themselves for the exploration tomorrow.

As Ye Qingzhou was about to fall asleep, Kang Jinlong's voice once again echoed in his mind: "Ye Qingzhou, you can't escape."

Ye Qingzhou was dismissive of this threat: "If you can transmit thoughts to me, it means you know my location, yet you haven't chased me. Let me guess, you can't leave Celestial Halberd Peak."

"Humph~"

Sometimes, silence is also an answer, and Ye Qingzhou knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Mortal, do not test my patience."

"If you're capable, come and kill me, then? If you can't, then be quiet and stop buzzing around."

"Aren't you interested in more benefits?"

"Why didn't you say that earlier?"

Ye Qingzhou's attitude changed, unable to resist complaining: "If you want to talk deals, talk properly, stop acting like you're my dad. You can't expect me to be subservient without offering enough benefits, right?"

Convoluted family terms aside.

But Kang Jinlong's urgency showed through, not caring about Ye Qingzhou's nonsense: "I need you to do two things for me."

"What about the benefits?"

"Didn't you already receive some benefits before!"

"That was for emotional distress. You scared me earlier; shouldn't I get some compensation?"

"...Are all mortals as shameless as you?"

Kang Jinlong, almost breaking his dragon teeth out of frustration, knew no one as thick-skinned as Ye Qingzhou in his dragon lifetime: "Speak, what do you want?"

"To practice Refining True Gold in Fire, I need a large amount of high-quality Divine Gold."

"Divine Gold I do not lack. If you serve me, rare treasures of heaven and earth you may take freely."

Kang Jinlong readily agreed, then made his request: "First, I need you to go to Jade Mist Mountain, kill the Cyan Flood Dragon, and retrieve my Dragon Pearl from her. Successfully, I can give you half of the Divine Gold as a reward."
