Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 228 Slapping the Face of the Heartless Cultivator 6

Huangfu Ming was filled with regret. If he had kept Yuexing by his side at all times, Yuexing would not have left him, and he would not have been unable to find her.

He ordered his servants to intensify the search, digging three feet into the ground to find the whereabouts of Yuexing, while he, carrying the water-repelling pearl, jumped back into the lake.

Since the servants all say they have never seen the moon rise from the bottom of the lake, then perhaps he is still at the bottom of the lake.

Huangfu Ming frantically searched the bottom of the lake, urging the water-repelling pearl to swim at top speed, meticulously searching while trying to sense the moon and stars using the partner contract within his body.

However, he felt nothing, which indicated that the Moon and the Stars were so far away that even the Partner Contract could not perceive his current location.

Huangfu Ming was extremely anxious. His spiritual power surged within him due to his anger, and the spiritual power emanating from his body stirred the lake water, forming a huge whirlpool.

Upon seeing this, the servants on the shore were so frightened that they hurriedly fled the lakeside.

Huangfu Ming searched the bottom of the lake as quickly as possible, but still couldn't find Yuexing.

He decided to re-enter the underwater cave to investigate.

If he still couldn't find Yuexing, he was prepared to drain the entire lake; he refused to believe he couldn't find Yuexing!

At this moment, Huangfu Ming was on the verge of exploding, a chilling killing intent swirling around him, and the creatures at the bottom of the lake fled from his side in fright.

He discovered the underwater cave when he was young. Only he knew the location of the cave, and he did not tell anyone except Yuexing.

He had cultivated in this underwater cave countless times. It was just an ordinary cave with nothing special about it.

After he had carefully searched most of the cave, the underwater cave suddenly began to shake violently, and then stopped after a few breaths.

Huangfu Ming noticed that the water in the cave had suddenly all rushed in one direction.

He quickly swam over to check the water-repelling bead and discovered that a crack had appeared there sometime during the night.

If he were in his Luna Beast form, he could easily pass through this crack.

If it were him, he would have to turn sideways to barely get through.

Huangfu Ming resolutely operated the water-repelling bead to enter the crack.

No matter what lies ahead, he has to come in and take a look to confirm whether Yuexing is really there.

After passing through a long and narrow crevice, Huangfu Ming did not expect that he would find himself in a much larger cave.

Just as he was about to take a closer look at his surroundings, the partner contract within his body suddenly trembled, indicating that Yuexing was near this cave.

He manipulated the water-repelling bead to increase his speed and swim towards the location of the moon star. Behind a huge rock, he finally saw the moon star lying on the bottom of the water.

"Yue Xing!" Huangfu Ming rushed to Yue Xing's side anxiously, wanting to reach out and pick him up.

But at this moment, Yuexing's body suddenly changed.

His body continued to lengthen, and the soft, white hair on his body gradually disappeared, turning into fair and lustrous skin.

The moon and star have transformed into human form!

Huangfu Ming stared at the moon and stars, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. His heart suddenly started beating faster, a mixture of excitement and joy.

At this moment, Yuexing was lying on the reef with her back to him, and he could not see her face clearly.

He carefully walked to Leng Yuexing's side. The spaces of the two water-repelling beads merged into one. He took off his outer robe and gently draped it over Yuexing's body, then picked him up.

Leng Yuexing turned around, and Huangfu Ming finally saw Yuexing's human form.

His gaze faltered slightly, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes. He had imagined what Yuexing would look like in human form, and he thought it would be a face that could topple kingdoms and captivate all beings, but he couldn't quite picture what it would look like.

Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he finally understands what it truly looks like and what makes it worthy of those words.

His face was flawless, as if it had been meticulously sculpted, and every detail exuded a breathtaking charm.

While Huangfu Ming was still captivated by Leng Yuexing's beauty, Leng Yuexing slowly opened her eyes.

The moment Huangfu Ming and Leng Yuexing locked eyes, he gasped for breath, and involuntarily reached out to trace Leng Yuexing's features.

Leng Yuexing's pair of shimmering eyes were like deep lake water, rippling with captivating light and filled with an indescribable allure.

As soon as Leng Yuexing opened his eyes, he saw Huangfu Ming standing right in front of him, and he couldn't help but call out his name.

"Huangfu...Ming?"

He thought he would still be making soft whimpering sounds, but he didn't expect him to say three very clear words.

Leng Yuexing looked down at his body in surprise and found that he was no longer in the form of a white fox, but had transformed into a human.

"When did I transform into human form?" Leng Yuexing asked in surprise.

"The human form you just took before my eyes," Huangfu Ming replied softly, afraid that what he saw was an illusion and that raising his voice would shatter it.

Leng Yuexing's eyebrows curved into a smile upon hearing this, and she said, "Are you satisfied with what you saw?"

Huangfu Ming's pupils contracted. Leng Yuexing's smile was like a warm ray of sunshine shining into his heart, bringing light to his dark world.

Huangfu Ming never imagined that someone could be so moved by a smile.

He even felt that he would do anything for that smile, even die for it.

Huangfu Ming's arms around Leng Yuexing's shoulders tightened suddenly. He didn't answer Leng Yuexing's question, but instead, unable to restrain himself, he lowered his head and kissed her deeply.

His kiss was deep and fierce, as if he was trying his best to hold onto that smile from just moments ago.

Huangfu Ming only came to his senses and pulled away from Leng Yuexing's lips when Leng Yuexing was about to give in and let out a muffled groan.

He gently wiped the moisture from Leng Yuexing's lips with his thumb and whispered, "Extremely satisfied..."

Huangfu Ming straightened Leng Yuexing's robes, then asked in a low voice, "How did you get here? Do you know how frantically I've been looking for you?"

Leng Yuexing gently smoothed the wrinkles between Huangfu's brows with her fingers, and said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, when I was cultivating, there was a strange movement in the underground cave, and I was carried into this cave by the water flow. I didn't have time to tell you."

"So you absorbed enough spiritual energy to transform into a beast form?" Huangfu Ming asked curiously.

Leng Yuexing shook his head and pointed to the rock beneath him. "Let's go up there and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Ming, holding Leng Yuexing, manipulated the water-repelling pearl to swim upwards.

After reaching the top of the cave, Leng Yuexing pointed down and said, "Look."

Huangfu Ming looked down and saw a huge skeleton displayed before him.

Only then did he realize that the boulder they had been on was not an ordinary rock, but a skeleton.
