Chapter 110: Accompanying Beauty

At this moment, Shangyi Huimeizi's clothes were torn, barely covering her, using only her hands to shield her vital parts, her graceful figure laid bare before Facing Facing Cang Luo.

Her shoulder-length brown-red hair added a touch of exotic charm.

Her eyes flickered away shyly, cheeks flushed, lips glistening—maddeningly alluring.

"Huh! Huh......"

Facing Facing Cang Luo stared at Shangyi Huimeizi with burning eyes, breathing heavily—he could barely hold back; this Japanese woman was seducing him!

What did she want?

Could it be because I saved her from Hukou's jaws, then outwitted Feng Qingyun to eliminate her threat, and now she's offering herself in gratitude?

Facing Facing Cang Luo found it highly plausible, and his mind immediately wandered.

Should he accept her gratitude?

Facing Facing Cang Luo swallowed hard...

Just as Facing Facing Cang Luo's heart stirred violently, he suddenly noticed Shangyi Huimeizi's gaze occasionally drifting toward his phone.

In that instant, Facing Facing Cang Luo understood—recalling how she had silently hidden behind him, stealing glances at his phone, and just now fiddling with it furtively, afraid he'd notice...

Facing Facing Cang Luo now knew for certain: her seduction was for the phone.

Was it mere curiosity, or was she looking for a chance to kill him and claim the phone for herself?

At that moment, Facing Facing Cang Luo's gaze toward Shangyi Huimeizi turned sharp—but vanished instantly, while he sneered inwardly.

Hmph! Don't do anything stupid, or don't blame me for crushing a flower.

Facing Facing Cang Luo's thoughts churned; he lifted his eyes to the sky, no longer looking at Shangyi Huimeizi, and his body quickly cooled.

Shangyi Huimeizi was startled, thinking she lacked allure and failed to attract Facing Facing Cang Luo; she thought for a moment, then deliberately removed her hands from shielding her body.

Though Facing Facing Cang Luo's eyes were fixed on the sky, his satellite saw everything—even the most private parts.

In that instant, Facing Facing Cang Luo nearly exploded.

But just then, he suddenly noticed the flames in the pit had finally died out—and the joy of scavenging loot instantly drowned out his improper desires.

Then Facing Facing Cang Luo panicked again, his improper thoughts gone entirely—he had forgotten one thing.

"Damn! Could it have burned up?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo shouted in alarm, ignoring the stunning beauty before him, and leapt into the pit, gritting his teeth as he groped through the stench.

Shangyi Huimeizi was utterly astonished; she looked down at her own body, unable to believe Facing Facing Cang Luo had resisted.

Aren't all men beasts who think with their lower halves?

Minutes later, Facing Facing Cang Luo found only one charred longsword and several metal lumps—likely gold, melted into blocks by the fire's heat—from Feng Qingyun's corpse.

Nothing else—no yuan stones, no pills—he was bitterly disappointed, unsure whether they had been destroyed or never existed at all.

Jumping out of the pit, Facing Facing Cang Luo threw the items on the ground and cursed: "What kind of elder's grandson? What kind of Wu Wang's grandson? Just a broken sword and a few lumps of gold—not even a storage ring! Fuck!"

What Facing Facing Cang Luo wanted most was a storage ring—he had assumed Feng Qingyun's grandfather, a Wu Wang, might possess one; that was his real reason for killing Feng Qingyun—and now there was none.

"Pathetic miser!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo cursed again, stomping hard on the sword and kicking the metal lumps—but instantly stopped; the lumps could still be cleaned and used—he quickly picked them up.

At that moment, Shangyi Huimeizi walked over, picked up the sword, and said: "Cang Jun, Feng Qingyun's weapon is a Rank 3 rune longsword—it still has value, though the engraved array on the blade seems melted away."

Facing Facing Cang Luo's eyes lit up; he took the sword and examined it closely—the array patterns were indeed gone.

He was slightly disappointed, then compared it to his own ordinary iron longsword and found Feng Qingyun's sword sharper and heavier.

"Is the metal's density higher? In other words, greater strength?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo muttered, then thought for a moment and swung Feng Qingyun's Rank 3 longsword hard against his own iron blade.

With a clang, his iron longsword snapped cleanly in two—while Feng Qingyun's Rank 3 longsword remained utterly unscathed.

Facing Facing Cang Luo rejoiced—finally, a real gain—and quickly wiped the sword clean.

Beside him, Shangyi Huimeizi looked morose—was she less valuable than a Rank 3 longsword in Cang Jun's eyes?

Soon, Facing Facing Cang Luo polished the Rank 3 longsword until it gleamed, nodded in satisfaction, and sheathed it—perfect fit, as if Feng Qingyun had delivered it just for him.

"Heh, not bad—you're a stepping stone on my cultivation path."

Facing Facing Cang Luo chuckled, then spent more time carefully peeling off the Shadow Tiger's hide—now with his new weapon, it was as easy as peeling an orange.

After securing the hide, Facing Facing Cang Luo glanced at Shangyi Huimeizi and said calmly: "Let's go—I'll escort you out of the Beast Forest."

Saying this, he turned to leave, then suddenly stopped, pulled out his spare clothes from his backpack, and tossed them to Shangyi Huimeizi: "Just wear these."

Shangyi Huimeizi froze, took the clothes, and quietly dressed herself, then followed silently behind Facing Facing Cang Luo.

The journey passed in silence...

Two hours later, the two finally exited the Beast Forest; ahead, not far off, lay a camp—the Five Elements Sect's outpost beyond the forest, where several disciples were now moving about.

Facing Facing Cang Luo had no intention of approaching—he feared misunderstanding—and smiled at Shangyi Huimeizi: "Let's part ways here. Still, our meeting is fate."

As he spoke, Facing Facing Cang Luo pulled out his phone, opened the camera, switched to the front lens, then wrapped his arm around Shangyi Huimeizi's shoulder to take a photo as a keepsake—and to post on Weibo.

Shangyi Huimeizi made no resistance to his intimacy; instead, she felt excited and curious, pressing herself against him—she never imagined the communication artifact could capture images like this—so miraculous.

Facing Facing Cang Luo didn't hold back; since they were about to part, he hugged tightly and grinned: "Smile at the lens."

Though Shangyi Huimeizi didn't understand what "lens" meant, she was clever—she quickly realized that staring at the "eye" at the top of the communication artifact changed the image's gaze.

Facing Facing Cang Luo took many photos—group shots, solo shots of Shangyi Huimeizi—and taught her numerous poses...

Afterward, Shangyi Huimeizi stared at her photos in awe, overjoyed.

It was the first time she'd seen a full-body image of herself, the first time she'd seen her face so clearly, her brown-red hair, every part of her body.

She tugged at her hair and murmured softly: "Am I considered beautiful among the Huaxia people? Then why is Cang Jun unmoved? Is it because of my hair?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo, busy posting on Weibo, didn't catch her murmur and asked: "What did you say?"

"Nothing..." Shangyi Huimeizi shook her head lightly, offering no explanation—she had realized now: Facing Facing Cang Luo was wary of her, constantly on guard.

Shangyi Huimeizi knew she couldn't rush—doing so would backfire. First, she must build a good relationship with Cang Jun. After all, Cang Jun was a disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect—he couldn't run away from his sect...

Facing Facing Cang Luo finished his Weibo post, put away his phone, and said calmly, "Young Lady Uesugi, farewell!"

Having spoken, Facing Facing Cang Luo took a horn from a Lei Bao Sheep and handed it to her; she had mentioned earlier that they would slay a Lei Bao Sheep together and each take one horn. Although she had contributed little, Facing Facing Cang Luo did not lack a single horn, so he treated it as payment for her mere satisfaction in witnessing the deed.

After hesitating for a moment, Uesugi Huimeizi accepted the Lei Bao Sheep horn, then bowed deeply and said earnestly, "Thank you, Lord Cang, for saving my life. In the future, I shall certainly go to the Profound Tianmen to express my gratitude!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo smiled and said casually, "Very well, we shall speak of it another day."

The words "another day" were spoken by Facing Facing Cang Luo with particular weight, very heavy weight.

Unfortunately, Uesugi Huimeizi did not understand; she thanked him a few more times, saying that if she had the chance, she would definitely go to the Profound Tianmen and hoped Facing Facing Cang Luo would not forget her.

Facing Facing Cang Luo readily agreed and added, "You should return quickly; your senior brother has not seen you for so long and must be dying of worry."

Uesugi Huimeizi nodded, then turned and left, walking toward the Five Elements Hall's camp.

Facing Facing Cang Luo watched her back for a while, then mounted Erha and re-entered the Beast Forest; he needed to find a safe place to consume the Shadow Tiger's demon core and see if he could break through to the Martial General realm.

If he could successfully break through to the Martial General realm, he would immediately seek a second-rank beast to subdue.

If not, he would first cultivate until reaching the Martial General realm.

Riding Erha, Facing Facing Cang Luo used a satellite to scout the path, searching for a safe place.

A few minutes later, Erha suddenly transmitted a voice: "Boss, that woman is here again."

Facing Facing Cang Luo was stunned; he controlled the satellite to investigate and indeed saw Uesugi Huimeizi running toward him.

What does she want? Did she forget something with me?

Puzzled, Facing Facing Cang Luo turned around and waited for her on the spot.

A short while later, Uesugi Huimeizi ran happily to Facing Facing Cang Luo's front, caught her breath, and said cheerfully, "Lord Cang, my senior brother is not at the camp."

Facing Facing Cang Luo was baffled; if he is not there, then he is not there; why are you so happy? And why did you specifically run over to tell me this?

Facing Facing Cang Luo said blankly, "And then?"

Uesugi Huimeizi tilted her head and guessed, "My senior brother must still be inside the Beast Forest; he is surely still looking for me..."

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded, waiting for her to continue.

Uesugi Huimeizi said seriously, "Lord Cang, I have decided to go find my senior brother. Also, I have not yet subdued a beast pet..."

As she spoke, she patted Erha's two heads; Erha shook its head, and she continued, "Lord Cang, before I find my senior brother, I hope to act together with you."

"Additionally, I very much wish to possess a mutated demon beast as a pet. Can Lord Cang help me look for one?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo frowned; only now did he remember that Uesugi Huimeizi's purpose for coming to the Beast Forest was to subdue a demon beast, and encountering him was purely accidental.

Should he let her follow? This Eastern Sea woman seems far from simple; she stops at nothing to achieve her goals, even resorting to seduction.

Facing Facing Cang Luo had intended to refuse, but then he thought that being alone was lonely and boring; having a companion and an extra helper was not bad, especially since she was a stunning beauty.

Very well, let her follow; after all, her strength is low; if she has ill intentions, he can deal with her with a casual gesture, not to mention Erha is present.

After thinking for a while, Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded and said, "Then let us go together, though mutated demon beasts are not so easily encountered."

Seeing Facing Facing Cang Luo agree, Uesugi Huimeizi bowed ninety degrees again in gratitude and said happily, "Thank you, Lord Cang! Finding a mutated demon beast would be good, but if there are none, I will not presume to hope for it."

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded and pointed his chin toward Erha's back; Uesugi Huimeizi immediately happily jumped onto Erha, hesitated for a moment as if feeling she had nowhere to steady herself, and then tightly embraced Facing Facing Cang Luo.

Facing Facing Cang Luo's body instantly stiffened, but very soon his whole body went limp...
