Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2219: Chapter 2220: An Eccentric Master-Disciple Relationship

However, the Clan Leader and the others could never have guessed that this Heavenly Punishment was due to the Dragon Clan.

”But now that this Heavenly Punishment has descended, the Demon Beast Ridge will definitely be more restrained. It’s also a great time for cultivators to hunt demon beasts extensively!” the Clan Leader said.

Demon beasts are materials for refining elixirs and tools, of course. Many forces hunt demon beasts, firstly to cultivate them, as a high-grade demon beast can greatly enhance a cultivator’s survival ability in the South Territory. Secondly, these demon beasts are very popular among the forces inland, often exchanged for cultivation resources with those major forces.

No matter the purpose, it will inevitably lead to cultivators gathering at the Demon Beast Ridge!

”Why not join the excitement too?” Ye Luo suggested with a smile.

If they manage to get another powerful demon beast, it would make escaping much easier.

”There have been similar situations before, but our tribe has never gone. Although there are great profits, it is also extremely dangerous! It’s not something a small tribe like ours can participate in!”

In other words, the Clan Leader didn’t want to go!

Ye Luo understood, after all, the cultivation levels of the people in the tribe were too low. He didn’t insist, but he was definitely going!

”Here’s what we’ll do: the tribe will continue on its predetermined path. I’ll go there first to investigate, and no matter if I gain anything or not, I’ll return to rendezvous with you!” Ye Luo said.

The Clan Leader’s expression immediately became complex, but eventually, he nodded.

He understood that Ye Luo might not come back.

After all, for a strong person like Ye Luo, this tribe was still too small.

But the Clan Leader was satisfied, as Ye Luo had brought great potential for the tribe’s development!

Not to mention, the formations Ye Luo constructed were enough for them to use for several months, and the bandits, now disbanded of their evilness, had also joined this tribe. Of course, Ye Luo had given the Clan Leader the secrets to trigger those restrictions.

The resources seized from the bandits were also controlled by the Clan Leader!

Even if Ye Luo didn’t return, their tribe still had the capital to continue developing. If one or two experts emerged during this time, it might even grow into a major force.

”Grand Elder, take care!” the Clan Leader said solemnly, as if giving a final instruction or a farewell.

Ye Luo nodded lightly. He naturally had the heart of a strong person, otherwise, he wouldn’t have abandoned the Da Yue Empire or the Great Tang Empire, along with those beloved women.

Ultimately, he was still in pursuit of strength!

”Master!”

Just after Ye Luo bid farewell to the Clan Leader, Nuonuo walked over.

”Why aren’t you cultivating today?”

To be honest, whenever he saw her, Ye Luo felt incredibly conflicted.

Now, she looked nothing like a person, bloodied all over with hardly a good spot on her body.

Yet she trained so diligently, and the aura within her body had become quite formidable.

”Master, look!”

With that, she threw another punch!

A loud bang followed, and the huge rock in front of her was instantly smashed into pieces!

This punch was many times stronger than before.

”Not bad, I didn’t expect you to improve so much in just a few days. You’ve already reached the strength of the Earth Martial Realm!” Ye Luo commented with a smile.

”So, Master, do you remember our agreement?” Nuonuo asked.

Though she was a pitiful sight, her eyes were pure and bright, which fascinated Ye Luo.

But what agreement? What kind of promise would Ye Luo make with a little child?

”Master, you really forgot!” Nuonuo said with a hint of annoyance, ”Didn’t you say once I reach the Earth Martial Realm in body training, you’ll take me on a journey?”

Ye Luo suddenly realized—no wonder she had been training so hard recently. It was for this reason!

No, she must have already guessed Ye Luo’s thoughts, that he might leave the tribe soon, which was why she did this!

She wanted to stay by Ye Luo’s side.

Honestly, Ye Luo didn’t want to bring her along. His own realm was barely average in the South Territory, and bringing along a burden would undoubtedly make his situation more precarious.

However, since he had promised her, and she was still his apprentice,

how could Ye Luo refuse?

”Master, can you really go back on your word?” Nuonuo pressed.

Seeing her innocent, flickering eyes, Ye Luo felt a pang of guilt as if he were lying.

”Alright, go pack your things, I’ll take you with me!”

Ye Luo gave her a helpless look.

”Master, I’ve already packed. Tonight, I’m staying with you!” Nuonuo said.

Uh! Ye Luo glanced at her bloodied body.

Nuonuo naturally understood Ye Luo’s thoughts; in fact, she was quite shrewd, having made all the preparations in advance.

Immediately, the wounds on her body began to heal gradually.

Her skin became fair and bright, and her features even more full of spirituality, giving an unreal impression, like those imaginary little lolis in a man’s mind!

In an instant, a word appeared in Ye Luo’s mind: perfect!

The little girl’s physique had undergone such a significant change after her body training.

”Hehe, Master, can I sleep with you now?” Nuonuo teased with a mischievous grin.

Ye Luo was stunned again. Damn, could this sentence be any more ambiguous! But he immediately widened his eyes.

”Stay serious, if you keep being naughty, I won’t take you out!”

If he got teased by his apprentice, how could he maintain any dignity as a master in the future!

”Got it!” Nuonuo stuck out her tongue and replied softly.

Ye Luo turned his head away. Damn it, this girl was too adorable, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt for having sinful thoughts! Damn, how sinful!

That night, Nuonuo really stayed by Ye Luo’s side, no matter what he was doing. She stuck close by him, no matter how much Ye Luo tried to persuade her to leave!

Yet Ye Luo was quite pleased. Having a cute loli by his side was indeed joyful.

After all, the South Territory was bleak enough, and being alone for an extended period wasn’t good for his mindset.

At dawn, everyone in the tribe gathered.

Most people guessed the purpose of Ye Luo’s departure, or rather its result.

”Clan Leader, two Elders, thank you for your trust!” Ye Luo stepped forward and handed a Qiankun Ring to the Clan Leader.

If it hadn’t been for the Clan Leader’s trust back then, Ye Luo could’ve already been captured by the Dragon Clan.

”Grand Elder, I can’t accept this!” Seeing the contents of the Qiankun Ring, the Clan Leader was moved.

Ye Luo laughed, ”Don’t refuse, Clan Leader, I consider you as family!”

The Clan Leader paused briefly and nodded, gratified.

”Alright, then I’ll accept on behalf of the tribe members!”

With that, under the gaze of the tribe members, Ye Luo departed with Nuonuo, riding a demon beast into the distance.
