Chapter 144 Ye Shen's Conspiracy 2
"Now, tell me, have you seen a woman in Sunset City? She had long silver-white hair and purple eyes."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shen and Zhang Hong were initially bewildered, then their eyes widened suddenly, and a figure almost simultaneously appeared in their minds—that beautiful, mysterious, and uniquely elegant girl with purple eyes and silver hair who always quietly followed Lin Tian!
It's her?! The beautiful woman next to Lin Tian?!
Ye Shen's mind raced.
These two terrifying beings are actually here to find that woman?
Moreover, judging from their tone, they seem to have ill intentions!
Lin Tian, you not only stole my thunder, but you also messed with this terrifying guy?
It's like God is on my side!
In an instant, the deep-seated hatred for Lin Tian overwhelmed the fear of the demon before him.
A wicked plan instantly took shape in his mind.
He suppressed the excruciating pain on his face and the ecstasy in his heart, trying his best to make his voice sound more compliant:
"Silver hair, purple eyes...a beautiful woman with a unique aura...I...I think I vaguely remember her..."
"Speak!" The stalker's fingers tightened, his tone urgent and demanding.
"Yes, yes, sir!"
Ye Shen quickly said,
"I've seen her! In Luoxia City! She was with a man named Lin Tian! That Lin Tian is extremely arrogant and powerful, and he has a grudge against us! We are willing to tell you everything we know, only begging you two gentlemen to spare our lives!"
He betrayed Lin Tian without hesitation, even deliberately pointing out that Lin Tian was "strong" and "had a grudge"—his intentions couldn't be clearer.
The other stalker released his foot from Zhang Hong, and the two exchanged a glance, a glint of triumph flashing in their dark eyes.
"Very good. A wise person knows when to yield."
The stalker who had been holding Ye Shen slowly released his grip, throwing Ye Shen to the ground.
"Tell me everything you know about Lin Tian and that woman, including their whereabouts and frequented locations. If the information is true, not only will you be spared, but perhaps... you'll even receive some benefits."
Ye Shen and Zhang Hong nodded hastily, as if they were drowning people grasping at a straw.
Despite the excruciating pain, Ye Shen forced a fawning smile onto his face:
"Definitely! Definitely! Rest assured, sirs, we will tell you everything we know! We only ask that you help us... teach that Lin Tian a good 'lesson'!"
Deep in the forest, a deal based on hatred is quietly struck in the shadows.
Lin Tian, far away in Luoxia City, was completely unaware of this.
......
After Lin Tian finished appreciating the god-level [Enlightenment],
With a thought, he summoned Little White from his pet space.
A flash of light appeared, and a tall, lithe figure appeared in the open space.
No longer the three-meter-long, somewhat petite creature it once was, Xiao Bai is now nearly forty meters long!
Although it is still far from its peak size of fifty meters, it already has gleaming scales, prominent horns, and a winding dragon body that exudes a chilling aura and an undeniable majesty.
Its snow-white scales refracted a crystalline luster under the light, and the single horn on its forehead had become much thicker, with a faint, cold glint in it.
"Not bad, not bad, it's finally starting to look like a dragon!"
Lin Tian patted Xiao Bai's cold, scaly body, which was much thicker than his entire body, with satisfaction.
"With this size now, riding it into the sky shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai lowered its majestic dragon head slightly, approached Lin Tian, and uttered a uniquely magnetic voice: "Master, I have recovered some of my power. There is no problem in carrying you and Miss Celia through the skies."
When Xiaobai reached level 20, he regained his ability to speak. However, Lin Tian was busy leveling up and grinding monsters at that time and did not notice that Xiaobai had recovered.
"Haha, great! It'll be even more convenient if I can talk!"
Lin Tian laughed heartily, quite pleased that Xiao Bai had regained her language ability, as it would make communication much easier.
He turned and extended his hand to Celia, who stood quietly to the side with a smile in her eyes.
"Come on, Celia, let's try a different mount today and experience riding a dragon!"
Celia stepped forward gracefully, her purple eyes curiously examining the enormous white creature. She reached out her fair hand and gently touched its cool scales, sensing the immense water power and icy aura contained within. She sighed softly in admiration:
"Little White has become even more majestic!"
Xiao Bai lowered its dragon head and nodded slightly to Celia as a greeting.
It had a fairly good impression of this companion, who was also a "pet" and carried the aura of an abyss noble.
Lin Tian put his arm around Celia's slender waist, and with a slight push of his feet, the two of them lightly leaped up and landed steadily behind Little White's broad, flat head covered with delicate and tough scales.
The location here is just right, offering a wide view ahead and a comfortable spot to lean against the dragon's horn.
"Let's go, Little White! Let's fly a low-altitude loop around here first to get used to it!"
Lin Tian commanded with great enthusiasm.
"Yes, Master."
Xiao Bai responded, its slender dragon body swaying slightly, its four dragon claws taking a step, and a faint mist of ice and water vapor swirling around it, as its massive body slowly rose into the air.
It was a little stiff at first, but it quickly adjusted and became smooth and stable.
It carried Lin Tian and Celia, circling once at a height of tens of meters above the forest. The wind whistled in their ears, and looking down at the forest sea rushing past, a sense of exhilaration arose spontaneously.
"Awesome! This is the kind of style a mage should have!" Lin Tian felt the thrill of high-speed flight and was in a great mood.
Just then, his private message vibrated slightly. Lin Tian looked and saw it was from Zhang Tianya, the guild leader of the War Alliance.
"Hmm? Chairman Zhang, what can I do for you?"
"Brother Lin Tian, I apologize for bothering you! I have a very difficult matter I'd like to ask for your help with!"
"Oh? Tell me about it." Lin Tian responded while gesturing for Xiaobai to slow down.
"An elite squad from our guild discovered a level 25 world boss—the [Bone Demon General]—deep in the 'Burial Hills' west of the city!"
"We assembled the two strongest 100-man raid groups in the guild to try it out, but... we were wiped out before we could even get it down to 50% health. This boss's burst skills are too powerful, and its area-of-effect attacks are annoying. At this stage, ordinary players simply can't withstand it, and their damage output is insufficient."
"Brother Lin Tian, I know you're incredibly strong, but... are you confident you can defeat this level 25 boss? If you can help us kill it, you can choose two items from its loot!"
