Seeing how intently Ling Zhenfei was looking at her, Ru Meng was slightly surprised. She looked down at herself and immediately screamed in astonishment, hurriedly covering her essential parts.

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "My clothes are already torn, you can look at me too, that makes us even."

"Even my foot! Believe it or not, I'll gouge your eyes out if you stare again," Ru Meng angrily yelled at Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei quickly turned his head away. Knowing how crazy this woman Ru Meng could be, he didn't want to provoke her when she really lost her temper.

Ling Zhenfei took out his own clothes from his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, walked behind a tree, and changed into the new clothes. He peeked at Ru Meng from behind the tree, noticing her looking somewhat clueless in her original spot.

In this desolate wilderness, having torn clothes naturally presented no solution— not everyone had a space treasure like Ling Zhenfei's Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow.

Searching in the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, he surprisingly found a set of women's clothing, though he'd forgotten whose it was. Anything was better than nothing.

Ling Zhenfei took out the clothing and walked over to Ru Meng.

"Why are you coming back? Do you want to make fun of me?" Ru Meng said, her tone filled with indignation.

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand, you came to Xianling Mountain for me after all. How could I make fun of you? Here, I found a set of women's clothing, you can wear this for now."

After speaking, Ling Zhenfei tossed the clothing over to her.

Ru Meng looked at Ling Zhenfei. "Go behind the tree and don't come out until I tell you to."

Ling Zhenfei obediently went back behind the tree and waited for Ru Meng to change her clothes.

Then, Ru Meng yelled at Ling Zhenfei, "Hey, did you do this on purpose? What kind of clothes did you bring me?"

"What's wrong?" Ling Zhenfei thought the clothing he picked was quite nice.

Although the clothes were very plain, they looked countless times better than the coarse clothing Ru Meng was wearing before, especially since they showed off Ru Meng's figure when she wore them.

"What's wrong? Isn't this set pretty nice?" Ling Zhenfei asked, puzzled.

Ling Zhenfei looked admiringly at Ru Meng, but Ru Meng crossed her arms in front of her chest, very angry, "Do you think these are clothes meant for people to wear?"

"How are they not meant for people to wear? Are they meant for ghosts? Isn't this how city girls dress nowadays? Moreover, you look even more beautiful in this outfit than before."

Ru Meng snorted, "This outfit, is there any difference from what I was wearing before? Or do you have other clothes you haven't brought out, deliberately giving me this set?"

"That's really unfair. It was tough finding such a fitting outfit. If you don't want to wear it, just take it off. I still need to return it to someone."

Ling Zhenfei knew Ru Meng would definitely not change back. The clothing she had been wearing before was already too torn to wear. Although the new outfit was short, it was at least whole.

"Forget it, I'll just wear this for now," Ru Meng finally said, then ignored Ling Zhenfei.

She walked away on her own. Being in the deep woods, Ling Zhenfei would never make it out by himself, so he quickly followed her, still relying on Ru Meng.

"Where are we walking to? Can you still find the way back?"

Ru Meng glanced back at Ling Zhenfei and said, "I advise you not to think about leaving now. That python and the eagle are definitely still looking for us."

Ling Zhenfei was surprised, "We've already left, and those beasts are still searching for us?"

"Of course, especially that Giant Eagle, it definitely won't let us go easily. The route back has a lot of bushes; it's not easy to hide, so we can't leave just yet. Let's head deeper into the forest where the trees are taller and it's harder for us to be spotted."

As she spoke, Ru Meng took a small bag out of her own bag, and from it, she sprinkled some medicinal powder over both Ling Zhenfei and herself.

"What are you doing?" Ling Zhenfei was somewhat puzzled.

"That Giant Python is currently searching for us on the ground; that beast's sense of smell is very keen. By sprinkling this medicinal powder on us, that beast won't be able to find us," she explained.

"Where do we go now?" Ling Zhenfei knew that since Ru Meng was doing this, she must have prepared everything in advance.

Ru Meng pointed ahead and said, "You just need to follow me." After speaking, Ru Meng ran forward.

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly followed her from behind, both of them using the Blooming Step Technique, moving very fast through the jungle.

They soon arrived at a hidden valley, which had few trees but one very large tree. Ru Meng didn't hesitate and climbed the tree.

Just like last night, there was still a wooden hole in the big tree, slightly larger than the last one, but not by much.

This hole was originally dug by Ru Meng for herself, and now it was a bit crowded with the two of them.

Standing at the entrance, Ling Zhenfei could tell that if he crawled in, he would be in very close contact with Ru Meng.

"Should I dig the hole a bit bigger?"

Ru Meng said indifferently, "Stop talking nonsense. We're just hiding here for one night; what more do you want?"

After saying this, Ru Meng went inside. Ling Zhenfei checked the time, and it was still a few hours before dawn, so he decided to stay inside for the night.

Moreover, since he was in the tree hole with her and Ru Meng had agreed, why not?

Ling Zhenfei entered the tree hole, and indeed, it was narrow, forcing them closely together.

When they were in a previous tree hole, Ru Meng was wearing coarse clothes, but now it was different. Her clothes, though it was deep night and the tree hole was dimly lit, Ling Zhenfei could still see everything very clearly.

Ru Meng still had a faint scent about her, her body warm and breathing steady, rising and falling with each breath. Ling Zhenfei was somewhat dazed and after not much time, felt his body becoming slightly hot.

"What's wrong?" Ru Meng seemed to notice something and asked Ling Zhenfei.

"Nothing, let's continue cultivating," Ling Zhenfei, not daring to think further, quickly entered a meditative state, his Divine Sense ethereal, circulating the Northern Spiritual Energy through the Twelve Meridian Circles until he finally calmed down.

Unsure how much time had passed, Ling Zhenfei suddenly felt a slight change in the air and hurriedly emerged from his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow meditation.

Ru Meng was still cultivating, as if asleep. Ling Zhenfei had realized that though Ru Meng's Spiritual Power had reached the Zhiyi Boundary, her Cultivation Technique was somewhat primitive and her combat martial technique average, so her combat strength was quite ordinary.

During cultivation, he hadn't noticed the changes outside. Ling Zhenfei sniffed lightly and immediately froze, as he recognized a familiar smell.

It was the fetid odor of python, a scent Ling Zhenfei remembered well from the entrance of the Snake Cave.

Ling Zhenfei quickly unleashed his Divine Sense, which could now extend dozens of meters. Anything within that range enveloped by his Divine Sense would be detected by him.

After unleashing his Divine Sense, Ling Zhenfei was stunned as he sensed the presence of the Giant Python.

Hurriedly, Ling Zhenfei woke Ru Meng. Awakening from her cultivation, Ru Meng was also shocked: "That's the stench of the Giant Python."

"Didn't you say the Python couldn't find us, how were we discovered so quickly?"

Confused, Ru Meng said, "What use is there in talking about this now, we must have overlooked something. Let's escape quickly."

Just then, they suddenly felt the tree shake slightly. Ling Zhenfei, having deployed his Divine Sense, immediately saw what was happening.

"The python is climbing the tree, I'll hold it off, you go first."

Ling Zhenfei's Spiritual Power began to flow, as there was no time to care about much else, he needed to survive.

Ru Meng looked at Ling Zhenfei incredulously, clearly not expecting him to let her go first.

"What about you?"

Ling Zhenfei smiled at Ru Meng: "Don't worry, I won't die that easily. We're not fighting hard but escaping. If we can't kill that beast, can't we still run?"
