《Conquer the World》Chapter 12: Memories of The Past (3)

She put out the bottle which contained the paralysis poison. Li Ling opened the bottle and when she successful, she fanned the part which released the poison. The poison was actually in the form of the gases and it was odorless.
The second state of meditation was an important state to the cultivator because when they could reach this state, they also could accumulate the energy faster and their comprehension would be faster than normal!
But to interrupted that state could cause unknown factor.
The poison now flew mainly to the direction where Ye Yingyuan sat. ‘She really persistent.’ Ye Yingyuan just completed his meditation but he pretends to still immerse in it.
‘Should I give her a really hard lesson?’ he wickedly smiles when the thought of the plan. He just let the poison entered his body.
‘It’s a success?’ Li Ling had seen the poison entered his body. Even the poison in the air was hard to defend when a Qi Condensation cultivators were contaminated with it!
Ye Yingyuan realized that this poison was not dangerous but rather had paralysis effect. Even though there was no danger in the poison but the effect in it was amazing.
‘I can’t move my legs!’ Ye Yingyuan luckily learned some basics in poison.’ This kind of poison can be cured by slowly directing them out by using your energy. But that is not working when I tried it on my legs.’
That was the main reason why he could not move from his position. Not only this made Ye Yingyuan surprised but he also felt that his dislike towards Li Ling increased instead.
Slowly, Li Ling walked toward him. Above the pond, they confront face to face with each other.
“With this, I will take my revenge!” Li Ling then started to summon her saber again. The nose of Ye Yingyuan moved slightly before he opened his eyes. His expression turned serious and then shouted at her.
“Where did you get those poisons!?” even he still could not move his legs. ‘This girl....’
“Wha!? How can you still move your body and face?” bewildered, Li Ling hastened her saber to swing but Ye Yingyuan stopped it with his two fingers. But he could not do that perfectly and blood started to flow from his finger.
“Don’t you know the trouble you cause!?” his tone now was really high. The area they currently in now was a quiet and desolate place in the outer part of the city. But that was not the main cause why Ye Yingyuan became so angry.
“You maybe know about a thing or two about poison but so what about it?” retorted Li Ling.
“Oh, then I must add a good and bad news. What do you want to hear first?” Ye Yingyuan asked. He just wanted to know whether she really had gone that far or it was just his paranoia.
Because Ye Yingyuan still rooted in place, Li Ling then thought about it before agreed with a nod. “Tell me the good news first.”
Inhaled the cold air, Ye Yingyuan then spoke. “Good news is, your poison really effective. Superb poison! Where did you get that stuff? I just want to know. Because of it, some part of my body cannot be moved.”

Because the poison was a little tricky but for Ye Yingyuan, this could become fatal!
“Of course! That person really spoke the same thing like you said. Then as a reward, I will let you tell the bad news.” Li Ling felt proud of her effort and now disdainfully look at Ye Yingyuan.
“Okay, little girl. Listen to your brother here....” Ye Yingyuan signaled with his hands to tell Li Ling to come closer. But she stood there in place, not going to move an inch.
“Looks like you still have a fear towards me. Let me tell you from here then. This poison used a certain ingredient that usually used to attract beasts. I don’t know how that person managed to let the smell concealed so deep that when you inhaled the poison, you will smell nothing.”
But most of the beast has the stronger sense of smell and now that this certain factor was in that poison, I’m sure that whoever gives that poison to you know that you will use it against me.”
Ye Yingyuan smiled bitterly once he finished his explanation. ‘To kill someone with a borrowed knife, how scheming this person can be?’ this made Ye Yingyuan fearful to that person.
‘Maybe he had a grudge against my father?’ in the end, he just threw this thought to the corner of his head.
Of course, Li Ling could understand what he means by that. “Do...you think that can make me hesitate?” She asked that but in truth, she felt a certain dangerous being approach the city.
“Oh, you can start to feel that right? This kind of aura can only be emitted by Culture Core beings.”
Ye Yingyuan already made a solution to this problem but seeing the expression Li Ling gave him, he told her something.
“You may ask what should we do but you know if this matter comes to light, I’m afraid that my family will have an indirect penalty towards your father. Even when both of them have a friendly relationship today, but that is not the case for tomorrow.”
Li Ling finally understood what he really means. She even recalled what his father had said before.
“Actually, both of you are in the wrong. That Ye Yingyuan also had wronged and you also the same so you need to talk about this together. Because I and his father are a friend, we can discuss this and solve the problem now. But if something was to happen to either one of you, I’m afraid that this can cause the chaos in this city.”
Even though Li Ling still could not understand fully about it but she already had a picture. She forced herself to ask.
“Then what about you said earlier, why someone needs the beasts outside the city to do this?”
“Simple. Because killing without leaving a trace is the most beneficial result someone can achieve!” Ye Yingyuan showed his way of thought. He did not know how smart he currently was but one thing for sure, they need to escape the current situation

“Carry me!” ordered Ye Yingyuan.
“Why!? Can you just move with your power?” protest LI Ling. Seeing the refusal, Ye Yingyuan just stared intently into her eyes.
“My leg is currently numb because of you! And the worst case is you will be blamed for my death. Do you want to shoulder this burden?”
Actually, Ye Yingyuan still could use his cultivation base to move but not at the peak. But Ye Yingyuan thought that if he rides someone and fuel that person with his cultivation base, he would be able to increase the speed to both of them!
At the same time, Li Ling still in thought before she decides to help him. She did hate him but if there is something important that need them to cooperate, Li Ling will not hesitate to lend a hand.
“Alright!” she already decided. “But you must use your energy as I hate to do something for free.”
Ye Yingyuan nodded before they heard a loud roar nearby. “Quickly!” Ye Yingyuan then moved his body to the back of Li Ling.
From behind them, a crowd of beast appeared like crazy! “Now, move!” Ye Yingyuan immediately sends his energy to Li Ling. This was the most optimal solution that he could think of!
Then Li Ling started to move in, she floated then flew lower and to her surprise, she already moves more farther than when she tried to do it herself. “What is the difference between this movement and when I do it myself?”
Li Ling felt that the energy from Ye Yingyuan stimulated all the movement in her body. Not only that but it also including her cultivation base!
“Only one I think. You have more shallow foundation than me?” answered Ye Yingyuan. He kept looking back to search for the strongest beast.
‘There!’
Eight legs and also some of its underlings walked toward them. Ye Yingyuan had seen the beast in the scroll that titled, . In that scroll, most of the beast that often encountered or some beast that rarely had been seen was recorded.
‘I can’t believe it! Isn’t that Steel Spider? Even with its little underlings as well.’
The sound of the beast walk made the earth trembled. Besides the Steel Spider, there were also several beasts with their four legs walked to their direction.
“Go to your fath....the mayor’s mansion first. We need to inform him to repel those beasts!” Ye Yingyuan could only leave it to the higher authority for now.
“Hah, if only my brother is here...” Ye Yingyuan said that unconsciously. At the same time, his hands grabbed tightly to Li Ling’s bosom, which made her blushed. “What are you doing?”
She had seen someone flirting with a woman but to actually experience like that in these moments.
Ye Yingyuan then said, “Should I move my arms to your neck? I’m afraid that will hinder you so just hold on until we reach the destination!”
He did not feel anything but it was different for Li Ling. She really felt embarrassed by that! But Ye Yingyuan just ignored it without a care.
“So be it!” she would just follow the flow then. They rushed to the Xuan City at full speed. But at the same time, the beat also increased their speed which shocked even Ye Yingyuan.
“How is that possible?” it was as if those beasts were purposely kept their distance from them!
But they just kept moving toward the entrance of the city. “Ah! The city guards are there. Let’s ask them to prepare for those beasts.” Li Ling suggested. Ye Yingyuan looked at her and slowly nodded.
The guards also took notice of them and when they saw that Li Ling was the one who came, they salute her and greet her politely.
“Miss Li, what are you doing here? It’s almost the night time and you should go back to the mansion. And who is he?” asked the guard with his ordinary appearance.
“I know that! But please prepare for the beasts that will be coming in this direction. I will tell my father immediately. As for this boy, I’m the one who brings him here so just treat him as my responsibilities.”
Li Ling said those words indifferently like no one was worthy in her eyes.
“Then, should we also inform Ye Residence too?” another asked with worry. Clearly, he knew that the young boy was the young master from that Ye Family.
“You can decide it yourself.” She left with her fastest speed without noticing the confused looks those guards had.
Please Miss Li, we really don’t know how to handle the situation. You even only said that there would be some beasts that come in this direction. How are we supposed to act against it?
“Let me enter!” Li Ling hastily walked inside the mansion. Naturally, the guards opened the gate and let her enter.
After searching for her father, Li Ling then found him sitting in the room near the bedroom.
“Father! Bad, this is bad.” While Li Ling sprinted towards her father, unexpectedly Ye Yingyuan fell off from her back.
Li Dian had seen that his daughter and Ye Yingyuan now together and already thought about positive prospect this could bring but who would have thought that this was just a temporary truce~.
“Ah!” when Li Ling saw Ye Yingyuan’s face, she almost screamed. His face was pale and Li Dian’s eye focused on the needle that had been attached to the back.
“Death Pale Needle! Damn it, Ling’er quickly bring some doctor and grab these herbs immediately.”
Seeing her father showed his serious expression means that this matter was serious. She even afraid that this problem was far from over.
‘Am I really the cause of this?’ she recalled that Ye Yingyuan murmured something about her became the cause of this and he then did not speak again after that.

Heart of Cultivation
Book one is now available for purchase or download through Kindle Unlimited! Jian was a prodigy, at least until he discovered that his path of cultivation had hit a dead end almost as soon as it began. That was all years ago, though. He has long since resigned himself to his fate and prepared himself for a dull, ordinary, but happy life. Stunted cultivation or no, he's clever enough to carve out his own comfortable niche. Unfortunately, not all of the matters from his past have been settled. When a reckless mistake threatens to cost him everything, Jian will have to prove that he's desperate enough to rise to the occasion. Or that he's capable of avoiding the consequences. This is an affectionate reconstruction of the xianxia genre. I will be deploying the tropes from the genre that I enjoy in a framework that I think makes sense. The story updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and sometimes other days.
