Chapter Thirteen: The Elusive Female Voice

  All the way down the steep slope, Ling Qingyan only felt dizzy and turned around, but his body didn't feel any discomfort anywhere.

  The purple robe had been worn and frayed from constant rubbing against the steep slope, but beneath it, Ling Qing's exposed ancient bronze-colored skin was not damaged in the slightest. It was no wonder that after undergoing the "Blood Contract" transformation, his body could rival that of a fifth-grade demonic beast, truly formidable.

  About a minute later, Ling Qingyan's body was also thrown out directly.

  "Bang!"

  Ling Qingyan, who was holding the small Tibetan Mastiff in his arms to protect it, heavily fell onto the ground. However, at this moment, Ling Qingyan only felt a slight tremble and numbness around his body, but no other sensations!

  "Huh?"

  Ling Qingyan stood up with Xiao Cangyuan in his arms, looked up at the steep slope above, furrowed his brow, "That Gangan leopard didn't chase down? It shouldn't be... This slope is steep, but it can't have any impact on that Gangan leopard! Did something unexpected happen?"

  "But this is even better! I've finally escaped with my life!"

  Ling Qingyan also let out a sigh of relief and immediately put the little Tibetan Mastiff on the ground, "Little thing, didn't get hurt just now?"

  Ko Xiao Cang suddenly seemed to have not heard Ling Qingyan's words, his chubby body moved and he quickly ran to one side. Due to his obesity, Ko Xiao Cang's running looked more like crawling... However, strangely, his speed was not slow at all! In fact, it was even a bit faster than Ling Qingyan's normal walking speed.

  Ling Qingyan followed suit, turning his head to scan the surroundings... and saw that at the foot of the slope, there seemed to be another expanse of flat forest, while on the other side of the slope, the forest was dense, and one couldn't see the edge even if they looked far into the distance. At this moment, Xiao Cangao was walking in that direction.

  Following the small Tibetan Mastiff, after walking for about a few minutes and turning several corners, I came to a hidden cliff face.

  Ling Qingyan looked at the small Tibetan mastiff stopping in front of the vegetation on the cliff, and swept his gaze over... Only to see that under the cliff wall, under the thick vegetation, a deep and eerie cave seemed to be hidden! If it weren't for the small Tibetan mastiff standing there now, and Ling Qingyan carefully observing, he wouldn't have discovered the existence of the cave.

  At the same time, Ling Qing's heart also moved, and here, I'm afraid this is where Xiao Cang Ao wanted to bring me before!

  In the sea of consciousness, Ling Qing felt the excitement fluctuations in Xiao Cang's emotions and wondered what was inside this cave. First, it made Xiao Cang extremely sad, now it makes Xiao Cang so excited!

  Perplexed! Incomprehensible!

  Ling Qing's heart was itching at this moment, and she had a strong urge to rush in and take a look!

  "Waaaah——"

  The little Tibetan Mastiff's chubby body moved slightly as it stood in front of the cave, howling towards the inside with a voice that was sometimes light and sometimes low. It seemed as if the little Tibetan Mastiff was communicating with something inside the cave, but even with Qing Yun's current keen hearing, no sound could be heard coming from inside the cave.

  Ling Qingyan stared at the little Tibetan Mastiff, momentarily stunned. What was this little Tibetan Mastiff doing? He could now clearly sense the various emotions of the little Tibetan Mastiff in his consciousness, sadness, excitement, dependence...

  Moreover, the little Tibetan Mastiff would occasionally turn its head to look at Ling Qingyan. When it looked at Ling Qingyan, its chubby little head would also nod slightly, as if confirming something.

  "Uggghhh..."

  Suddenly, Xiaozang's dog suddenly fell to the ground, let out a loud cry, as if it had been wronged.

  Ling Qingyan saw the situation, first stunned, then immediately felt Xiao Cangyuan's grievances and arrogance from the sea of consciousness. He took a big step forward, standing directly in front of the well-hidden cave, and shouted, "I don't care what you are, stop pretending to be mysterious in front of me!"

  "Waaaah——"

  As soon as Ling Qingyan's words fell, Xiao Cangao suddenly jumped up and bit down on the hem of Ling Qingyan's robe, tugging at it fiercely... At this moment, Ling Qingyan clearly sensed the worry and fear in Xiao Cangao's emotions!

  It seems like he's worried about offending whatever is inside the cave!

  "Are you really sure?"

  Suddenly, a soft and gentle female voice, as if from the sky, came directly from the cave.

  At the sound, Ling Qingyan was taken aback for a moment, and then he was extremely puzzled in his heart. "Are there humans inside this cave? But how can humans possibly live in the inner circle of Nanhuang? Could it be those hidden masters from the Chongwu continent?"

  Moreover, with his experience as a doctor for two lifetimes, Ling Qingyan was no ordinary person. At this moment, he could clearly sense from the woman's voice in the cave that she had insufficient qi and had obviously suffered some injury, which directly affected her tone of speech.

  "Wooo——"

  The little Tibetan Mastiff beside Ling Qing's body, upon hearing the female voice, had a look of infatuation flash across its eyes, and then its chubby little head nodded slightly.

  Seeing this, Ling Qingyan already knew that the woman in the cave was talking to Xiao Canglang. Ling Qingyan couldn't help but be stunned, what connection did Xiao Canglang have with the woman in the cave? Could it be that Xiao Canglang was actually a demon beast raised by the woman in the cave? Now, because of his blood contract with himself, the woman in the cave was furious and humiliated?

  "Bring it in, youngster!"

  There seemed to be a hint of fatigue in her voice. At this moment, Ling Qingyan even had a kind of illusion that the tone of the woman's speech in the cave was somewhat similar to his mother, Guan Yun, when she spoke to him.

  Bizarre!

  Although he was suspicious, Ling Qingyan still carried the small Tibetan mastiff and lifted up the vegetation at the entrance of the cave, entering the mountain cave. The passage inside this mountain cave was actually over two meters high, and Ling Qingyan could move around freely inside.

  Hah! Hah!

  Ling Qingyan had just entered the mountain cave with Xiao Cangyuan, and after walking a few steps, was about to turn around the bend when the sound came... A strange wave of energy suddenly swept out from where the sound originated, directly enveloping Ling Qingyan!

  Soul?!!

  Is it a high-ranking warrior inside?

  Ling Qingyan's face suddenly turned pale, he never expected that the woman at the end of this curve would be a high-ranking martial artist! This incredibly powerful spiritual sense, Ling Qingyan could feel its greatness through his own spiritual sense! This was absolutely not the spiritual sense of an ordinary Heaven's Chosen cultivator!

  "Waaaah——"

  The little Tibetan Mastiff seemed to have sensed Ling Qingyan's discomfort and, for a moment, also rushed into the cave, its barks seemingly containing some discontent.

  Ling Qingyan's consciousness was suppressed by the incoming spiritual force, but the evil blood python totem in his sea of consciousness suddenly moved involuntarily, bringing his spiritual sense with it and momentarily resisting the external pressure. At this time, Ling Qingyan's complexion also slightly improved, and his body returned to normal, continuing to hold the small Cangyuan dog as he walked into the bend.

  "Talent Totem!"

  The massive spiritual pressure suddenly disappeared from Ling Qing's side, coming quickly and going even faster! At the same time, the woman's voice at the end of the curve was slightly tinged with surprise.
