The faint pattern suddenly glowed brightly, a vast and vigorous Mental Energy came out from within, it was the power of a Ghost Vine, compared to it, her Mental Energy was like a small boat in the ocean, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Even so, her claw still managed to grab onto the picture unstoppably. Screams were immediately heard from the picture, "Little girl, why haven't you been struck to death by lightning yet?"

Murong Ling sneered, "If you haven't even been hacked to death, of course I'll still be alive and well."

The Ghost Vine that was struck by the ninth bolt of lightning finally awakened, waving its tendrils to attack. Seeing that the vines were about to hit its body, Murong Ling was not worried at all.

A strange scene appeared. The moment the vine was about to touch Murong Ling's body, an identical pattern appeared in Murong Ling's mind, blocking the vine. At the same time, the thin blade in Murong Ling's hand ruthlessly cut into the root of the Ghost Vine, leaving a half inch deep wound.

"Ao, ao, ao, ao. It hurts!"

The Ghost Vine howled and rolled, pulling on the roots buried deep underground. The soil and stones on the cliff began to crack, but it ignored them and continued shouting angrily, "Little girl, how do you know that I can't hurt you!"

It was just an ordinary slash, but it had almost used up all of the spirit energy in his dantian. Murong Ling gasped lightly, her expression maintaining her usual calm, but her words carried some unfathomable mystery, "Master and servant contract, servant must not harm the master, otherwise the contract will backlash, the elders in the family would have taught me beforehand, I naturally know that."

Just now when she was grabbing the pattern in her mind, she realised, even though there was a huge difference in strength between the two of them, Ghost Vine s could not injure her, otherwise she would have long been turned into a fool by the enemy's massive Mental Energy.

In order to prove her thoughts, she did not dodge the vine attack. Just as she had expected, the image in her mind appeared to protect her.

If I'm not wrong, that picture should be their contract.

The Ghost Vine was skeptical, although previously there were no cultivators in the Mortal World, they had hidden themselves in the deep mountains for many years, and the weather outside had probably changed a long time ago. Cultivators filled the entire area, if not this Girl would not have been able to run in here.

"That's not right!" The Ghost Vine suddenly straightened its vines, bent its waist and pointed at Murong Ling, "Since you have the guidance of your clan, why did you help me when I was undergoing my tribulation? Aren't you afraid of being struck to death by lightning?"

During the tribulation, no one could help him.

Murong Ling was so angry that her lungs were aching, she forced out a mouthful of blood and swallowed it down, "Cultivators who go against the will of the heavens, if they want to get lucky, they naturally have to take the risk. A ten thousand year old Ghost Vine is not something that I will always have the chance to meet.

Compared to the pretentious Murong Ling, the Ghost Vine was more familiar with the cultivators' ecological environment. Because of the resources, people would kill people to steal their treasures, and people would abandon their wives, so a ten thousand year old Ghost Vine, if it could be subdued, being struck by lightning was nothing.

Compared to her, who was only a little bit away from her, the difference between the two was a full two great realms: Element Building Stage and Danyuan Stage! Due to the restriction of the master and slave contract, its strength was suppressed, but it dared to guarantee it. With the resources available in the Mortal World, it would not have to use the Infant Phase a second time.

Thinking about it, for a stately expert of Infant Phase to actually recognize a little girl as its master, it simply lost all face.

The more the Ghost Vine thought about it, the angrier it became, the more its thousand miles of roots rose up from the ground, its roots were like human beings that could be split into two legs, when it stood up it would be even taller, and Murong Ling who was standing on the ground seemed even smaller.

Although it couldn't hurt her, it could still intimidate people. Therefore, it deliberately walked towards her with a bang, causing the ground to shake as if there was an earthquake.

The already chapped land on the cliff shattered, especially the land on the edge of the cliff. One piece of land after another fell to the ground, and the cliff line rapidly drew closer to the inside.

"What the hell are you doing, stop it now!"

The Ghost Vine s with soil on its roots approached closer, the dense smell of earth assaulted his nostrils. Murong Ling looked at the approaching cliff and scolded the Ghost Vine in his mind. Without saying a word, she climbed onto one of its feet and burrowed in.

In the next moment, the entire cliff line cracked apart, and together with Murong Ling, the Ghost Vine fell into the bottomless abyss.

Murong Ling hid between the soles of the Ghost Vine's feet. The ninja's cold wind blade used the remaining Origin Energy in her body to form a protective shield, and after an unknown amount of time, it continued to fall until finally, with a loud bang, the Ghost Vine fell into the cold pool with her.

Even if it was the pool water, it was comparable to cement as it fell from high in the sky. Although Ghost Vine bore the majority of the damage, Murong Ling was still wounded from the shock, and with the addition of the lightning injury from before, her vital energy and blood surged, and she vomited a mouthful of blood as she fainted.

As for the gigantic Ghost Vine, it also instantly turned into a green light and entered Murong Ling's body. Replacing it was a tattoo of a thorny vine that appeared on the inside of her wrist.

After an unknown period of time, Murong Ling slowly woke up. She discovered that she was lying inside a cave, and other than stones, there were no signs of human habitation in the cave. It should be an abandoned cave.

Her body was covered with a tiger skin, rough and damp from not having used it for a long time. It was unknown where she had found it.

She held onto the wall as she stood up, completely stunned. Her clothes had been replaced by a very familiar man's outfit.

Who had saved her was already on the verge of being revealed.

There was a rabbit on the fire. A man with his back facing away from her was carefully turning the rabbit. His cold face was red from the firelight and had a smell of smoke.

With this appearance, who else could it be other than Li Cangmin?

Murong Ling leaned on the wall and watched. Suddenly, she smelt a burnt smell, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the rabbit on the fire rack that was burnt.

No one knew if he could roast the rabbit over and over again.

It was unknown if it was because of the shock, but Li Cangmin pursed his lips and placed the rabbit back onto the broad leaf. He leaned against the wall and lowered his head in silence, as if he was deep in thought.

"Princess, you're awake!"

It should be because he sensed her peeping, Li Cangmin suddenly turned and looked over, a look of happiness flashing past his eyes, but then, he suddenly thought of something, his expression became cold again as he glanced at her indifferently, "Come over and drink some medicine."

He took out a medicine jar from a pit beside the fire and poured it into a missing mouth pottery bowl. Murong Ling took a whiff, and saw that it was the Wind Chilling Medicine.

She touched her forehead and realized that she had a fever.
