Chapter 313: Smile
"Even though it seems close, you still need to train more," Yu Shi Lan said, pouring cold water on Mu Ting Ye’s head without hesitation.
While Mu Ting Ye’s progress was indeed considerable, but it was still not enough.
"Ah, I know." Mu Ting Ye nodded with a grin. "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely catch up with you soon, Shi Lan~."
Yu Shi Lan blinked her eyes and smiled. "Then I’ll be waiting for you."
"Meow." <Stop dreaming. Based on your current progress, Miss, you will leave Mu Ting Ye far away.>
Xiao Mao felt that Yu Shi Lan was too kind towards Mu Ting Ye.
Body refining cultivators needed more time to advance through ranks and it was definitely impossible for Mu Ting Ye to catch up with Yu Shi Lan anytime soon.
It has been a month since they separated from the group and right now, Yu Shi Lan’s cultivation was already stable in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
There were three stages in Foundation Establishment Stage.
The early stage was where Yu Shi Lan currently is. The Qi in her body is in the form of liquid and it has much more power than when she was in Qi Refining Stage.
The middle stage was where cultivators would continue to increase the amount of Qi stored in their body and increase their own capacity. They would slowly form the sphere in their dantian even though it was still illusory.
Upon reaching the late stage, they would increase their amount of Qi to the maximum their body could handle.
Every cultivator has different amount of Qi in their body.
But there was an average range.
Most geniuses usually have more Qi than others, though.
This is usually due to the fact that their foundation was more stable.
And the sphere would be more defined, which would be tested in a thunder tribulation before they could advance to Golden Core Stage.
Yu Shi Lan mentally reviewed the cultivation progress in her mind and looked at the two people in front of her.
"The higher your rank, the more you have to rely on your comprehension and foundation," Yu Shi Lan said while poking Xiao Mao’s head. "Your innate talent will start to stop giving you the advantage against others."
In the early stage, their comprehension was not very visible.
After all, they were building their foundation and hard work would be inevitable for them to advance through ranks.
"This cat must be despising me again." Mu Ting Ye could guess what Xiao Mao was saying more or less from the cat’s expression.
It was quite funny that a cat could be so expressive.
Then again, Xiao Mao is a demonic beast and not an ordinary cat.
Given by the fact that Xiao Mao could communicate freely with Yu Shi Lan, it shouldn’t be that surprising that Xiao Mao was so humane like.
"Meow!" <Stop trying to read my mind, Mu Ting Ye! I won’t communicate with you! Don’t think that just because you helped Yu Shi Lan once, I’ll change my impression of you>
Xiao Mao swatted Mu Ting Ye’s hand with her paw and walked behind Yu Shi Lan while hissing towards him.
Yu Shi Lan was amused.
She could see very clearly that Xiao Mao’s attitude towards Mu Ting Ye has already experienced huge improvement.
In the past, Xiao Mao would not even want to be so close to Mu Ting Ye and will definitely talk bad about him all day long.
Now...
She just did it occasionally when Mu Ting Ye teased her.
"Then I can’t give you the dried fish that I have prepared." Mu Ting Ye smiled knowingly when he saw the cat being so aloof.
Yu Shi Lan had already told Mu Ting Ye and Lin Yuan that Xiao Mao loved dried fish very much.
The two men naturally used this information to tease Xiao Mao from time to time.
As expected, the moment Xiao Mao heard dried fish, she immediately turned her head to look at Mu Ting Ye with expectation.
"...It’s so easy to bribe this cat." Lin Yuan was speechless as he watched Mu Ting Ye gave Xiao Mao more fish while driving the car.
None of the three have any driving license and they were basically cleaning up the road while driving, so their progress was extremely slow.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to take one month just to go from City A to City B.
"Don’t worry, Xiao Mao still wouldn’t get close to stranger," Yu Shi Lan reassured Lin Yuan.
"Then that’s good."
This time, it was Lin Yuan’s turn to drive and he’s also the best driver among them. It could be said that Yu Shi Lan and Mu Ting Ye had done their best to prevent the car from falling into the ditch.
Whenever it was either of these two people’s turn to drive... they would be wary that the car would be overturned and fell into the ditch.
While teasing Xiao Mao, Mu Ting Ye noticed that Xiao Mao suddenly looked at the distance.
Yu Shi Lan arched her eyebrows and asked, "What did you see?"
"Meow." <Mass of white>
"Huh?"
"What did she say?"
"Mass of white? But I don’t see any white."
Instead of answering, Xiao Mao leapt to the dashboard and looked into the distance. This mass of white dots was moving at an extremely fast speed. It looked as if they were marching and then suddenly stopped because there was a rapid decrease.
At the same time, the people in the car could hear the massive explosion in the distance.
Mushroom cloud was formed from a distance, indicating that there must be a massive disaster at a distance away from them.
"What the hell..." Lin Yuan nearly smashed the steering wheel because he was too surprised.
"That’s the direction of City B Base!" Mu Ting Ye was shocked when he recalled that the direction they were heading and the explosion seemed to be the same place.
