Chapter 45 -35: New Identity_2

Once again, he glanced at the bronze door pendant hanging on his chest, and Pang Jian felt it was becoming more and more mysterious.

An hour later,

A slightly tired Pang Jian had killed a roe deer. After some rudimentary processing, he started a fire to cook it, and soon, the roe deer meat was fragrant and succulent.

While eating the firm meat, Pang Jian discovered that since waking up in the dim stone path, his appetite had greatly increased, with a particular craving for meat.

A roe deer that weighed dozens of pounds was devoured in no time, and as he looked at the bones scattered on the ground, he suddenly heard the familiar cry of an eagle.

Looking up, sure enough, he saw a dark gray eagle appear in the sky once more.

“Why is it watching me?”

Pang Jian asked, frowning in confusion.

At Crescent Lake, this eagle had circled overhead, observing him from many angles for a long time before reluctantly departing.

After bidding farewell to Su Yuntian, He Rong, and the others, the eagle had come searching for him again, not knowing what it intended to do.

Pang Jian suddenly realized that the eagle’s target was him, not anyone from the Su or He families.

Being stalked by such an eagle made Pang Jian feel uncomfortable; eyeing his Dragon Pattern Spear, he thought of the immense strength that had surged through his arm earlier, and a cold, piercing light flashed in his eyes.

He grabbed the Dragon Pattern Spear fiercely and once again shouldered his bamboo basket, continuing to move agilely through the forest.

At this moment, he suddenly had the strange feeling that he was the king of the forests of the Solitude Mountain Range.

The plants and trees of the mountains, the birds, beasts, insects, and sparrows, they were all his private property within his territory.

“Not a bad feeling,”

he muttered to himself as he disappeared into the dense foliage of the ancient trees.

This time, he did not burst out of the leaves; instead he moved stealthily and cautiously.

Peering through the gaps in the leaves, he watched the dim sky, patiently waiting with concentrated spirit.

After a while, the dark gray eagle, having not seen him reappear for some time, could not help but lower its altitude, hoping to explore closer.

When Pang Jian felt that the eagle was within the range of his capabilities, his Dragon Pattern Spear shot out like a swift flash of lightning.

“Thwack!”

The Dragon Pattern Spear, having precisely locked onto the eagle, made no mistake. It went straight from below upwards, piercing the annoying bird!

The Dragon Pattern Spear hung from the eagle’s body, falling into the forest tens of meters away, and the successful Pang Jian rushed over like a nimble leopard.

Before he reached the eagle, a “Spirit Evil” with the power of the Meridians Channeling Realm timely floated out of the eagle’s body and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Pang Jian arrived and first yanked out the Dragon Pattern Spear, then turned to look at the fallen eagle, sneering, “When I hunted in the mountains before, why didn’t I see you following me everywhere?”

There were many gray eagles in the Solitude Mountain Range, and he could not tell them apart; however, when he had hunted in the past, he had never noticed these gray eagles giving him any special “attention”.

After dispatching the eagle, Pang Jian felt much more relaxed. Not feeling hungry at the moment, he had no intention of eating the bird.

The Solitude Mountain Range was vast, with various wild beasts roaming everywhere. With his current combat power, he could eat whatever he wished for, naturally not caring about the eagle.

He continued on his way, heading north towards another area that his father had designated as forbidden.

Having experienced the Black Water Pool, he vaguely felt that several forbidden areas in the Solitude Mountain Range could potentially be chosen by the Phoenix Bone as its landing spot.

Having experienced the wonders of Phoenix Marrow, he planned to try his luck in another forbidden area.

To the far north, the “Mysterious Fog” and Boundary Wall, mentioned a few times by Zhou Qingchen and others, also made him incredibly curious.

The place where the “Mysterious Fog” was located was designated by his father as the number one forbidden zone of the Solitude Mountain Range, where he was forbidden from entering under any circumstances.

But now that his strength had greatly increased and after witnessing the wonders of the cultivating world, with the ambition to climb to the Upper Realm, he no longer wished to heed his father’s advice.

Another late night,

Pang Jian, who had felt weary for a long time, ate and drank his fill and for the first time, did not practice the “Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Spell”.

Feeling overwhelmingly sleepy, he found another hidden base to settle in.

This was a withered large tree, with a hollow inside its trunk, and he had even fashioned a “door” out of the cracked bark.

He didn’t know that, in the pitch-dark night of the Fourth Realm, a hazy “Spirit Evil” was always watching his movements.

Finally feeling at ease, Pang Jian fell into a deep sleep inside the tree hollow, a sleep so sweet and satisfying.

When he woke up, the sky was already bright.

Pushing the cracked bark door open to leave, Pang Jian suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting under a large tree’s greenery not far from him.

The girl had taken off her simple and neat martial outfit and put on a satin dress, her black hair and long eyelashes glistening with dewdrops.

In the morning mist, she was like a sprite amidst the woods.

Her somewhat thick eyebrows and straight nose usually gave her a heroic look, but in the wispy mist, she seemed to suddenly possess a soft and hazy feminine beauty.

Two entirely different temperaments converged on her at this moment, elevating her beauty substantially.

Pang Jian rubbed his eyes and looked at her again, astonished, “Ning Yao?”

“Did you think I wouldn’t be alive?”

The woman in the thin mist opened her eyes with a cool expression and then gradually got up and walked over.

A few dozen meters away.

The people from the Su Family and He Family, seeing her stand up, also saw Pang Jian suddenly emerge; everyone from both families was astonished.

“I have something to discuss with him; please don’t disturb us,” she said as she approached Pang Jian and then stopped, turning back to give He Rong and the others a cold, warning look.

Those people frowned, unable to understand why she was so aloof and cold towards everyone.

Pang Jian was taken aback, only then realizing that not only she was there, but also the people from the He and Su Families he had met not long ago.

“Let’s talk inside the tree hollow.”

Luo Hongyan, who had been waiting for Pang Jian to come out, placed her fair hand on his chest and pushed him in first; she followed him into the tree hollow afterward.

Watching this scene, He Rong’s face turned angry.

Su Yuntian scratched his head, unable to figure out their relationship, his mind filled with doubt.

“They…”

Su Meng’s mouth, agape in shock, could fit an egg.

Inside the tree hollow, Pang Jian felt a bit awkward.

This tree hollow was prepared for him alone, and he had never thought it would accommodate a second person.

When he was alone, the space inside the tree hollow was just right; the sudden presence of another person made it seem cramped.

Inevitably, there was physical contact between the two of them.

With each breath, Pang Jian could smell the faint fragrance on her, and since he was unclear about her intentions, he opted to remain silent.

After entering the tree hollow, Luo Hongyan behaved quite openly, her bright eyes carrying an aggressive and peculiar brilliance.

She looked at the very small gap of space in front of their chests, the oddness in her eyes intensifying.

“I’m sorry, I sincerely apologize to you; I was wrong before,” she suddenly said with sincere expression, shifting her gaze from the gap between their chests to Pang Jian’s face.

“When we went for the first Phoenix Bone, I shouldn’t have threatened you. There is no distinction of high or low status between us—you were hired by me, you are not a servant of the Ning Family.”

“Because I’m accustomed to commanding the servants, used to being high above, my behavior might have been inappropriate.”

As she spoke, she bowed as an apology, and thus the gap between Pang Jian and herself ceased to exist.

She “accidentally” brushed against Pang Jian’s chest and, as if suddenly realizing what she had done, hastily straightened her posture.

Pang Jian, perplexed by her actions, took a deep breath, and once again the gap between their chests sealed shut.
