Chapter 173 - 29

Chapter 29 Ah YinThe next day, Ye Feng took a person and a bird, riding in a carriage towards Saint Spirit Village.According to the description in the original work, Ah Yin and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone were hidden in a cave behind a waterfall.And it wouldn't be too far from Saint Spirit Village.As long as Ye Feng took Saint Spirit Village as the center and found a waterfall, he would most likely find the cave where Ah Yin was hidden.Riding in the carriage, Ye Feng quickly arrived at Saint Spirit Village.When he was still far from the village, he hid the carriage, not because he was worried about the carriage being stolen.Saint Spirit Village was a small village, and most of the villagers were farmers; there wouldn't even be a few outsiders entering the village in a year.Riding in a carriage made his target too big, and it was easy for people to remember him. By then, if Tang Hao found Ah Yin missing and asked around a bit, he would be able to know his whereabouts.Ye Feng did not plan to enter the village. Going to acquire the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was essentially theft, so naturally, the faster, the better.He asked Yaoguang to search for a waterfall from the air. Almost as soon as Yaoguang flew into the sky, it immediately landed back down.Through communication with Yaoguang, he learned that there was a waterfall on the back mountain of Saint Spirit Village, which was very close.With Yaoguang leading the way, Ye Feng quickly found the waterfall.The turbulent water current fell from the waterfall, striking the rocks and the river surface. The splashing water droplets soaked Ye Feng's clothes.Ye Feng passed through the rocks in the middle of the waterfall and indeed saw a deep cave.Ye Feng did not let Jinling and Yaoguang follow, having them stay on the river bank.The original work did not describe the scene inside the cave, and he was not sure if there would be traps.But Tang Hao did not know Hidden Weapons, so he estimated there wouldn't be any formidable traps.Ye Feng penetrated deep into the cave. It was very dark inside, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and it was also very damp.There were traces of artificial excavation on the walls.Most likely excavated by Tang Hao.Not a blade of grass grew inside the cave; only at the very end grew a stalk of Blue Silver Grass.This stalk of Blue Silver Grass was different from any other stalk Ye Feng had ever seen; her leaf veins were golden and very pretty.But at this moment, her condition was not very good. Long-term lack of contact with sunlight made her leaves listless, and the tips of the leaves had already withered somewhat yellow.There was no vitality of ordinary Blue Silver Grass to speak of.But in such an environment that never saw the light of day year-round, perhaps only the Blue Silver Emperor could survive.If it were any other Blue Silver Grass, it would have been dead beyond dead.That being said, Ah Yin was just gritting it out relying on the formidable bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor.Resisting a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast sacrifice without dying, and still holding on in this dark and gloomy environment for so many years.Ye Feng could not help but sigh at the power of the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline.This was also a major reason why Tang Hao was criticized in his past life.Ah Yin was a stalk of grass; even if she was casually planted on the roadside, she could live very well.You, Tang Hao, planted her in a cave—were you truly afraid she wouldn't die?What? You say that was hiding her? Protecting her?Bullshit! Ah Yin had already sacrificed herself to death; who would have nothing better to do than look for her?Besides, she was the Blue Silver Emperor; placed in the grass, nobody would recognize her without careful inspection. With so many Blue Silver Grass on the continent, who would look for her one by one?Ye Feng felt that either Tang Hao had a guilty conscience, or he was an idiot.No matter what it was, it had nothing to do with Ye Feng.He only wanted to find that hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone.Ye Feng glanced at Ah Yin, then lowered his head to start searching for hidden compartments on the ground or walls.However, while Ye Feng was not interested, Ah Yin grew somewhat anxious.She had been trapped in this dark and gloomy cave for twelve years.For twelve years, she had been muddle-headed. Even if there were moments of lucidity, the time was not long.The cave was very secluded; usually even animals rarely came here.She didn't know if Tang Hao would come to save her and take her out, or when he would rescue her.She no longer wanted to endure this torment.Now that a human had finally come, she wanted him to take her out.She had no time to think about whether Ye Feng was good or bad; soon, her brief lucidity would end, and she would return to her muddle-headed state.She intended to take a gamble; even if she died, she would accept it.At this thought, a wisp of spirit power turned into a thread, drifting out from Ah Yin's body, carrying a faint mental force upon it.Wanting to touch Ye Feng, however, she was still too weak. A distance of just three or four meters was like a natural chasm to her.Fortunately, Ye Feng noticed her. Ye Feng had been using his mental force to probe the walls of the cave.In the dead silence of the cave, a faint wisp of mental force was like a firefly in the deep night to Ye Feng, and he easily noticed it.Ye Feng hesitated somewhat. He saw that Ah Yin wanted to converse with him, but he didn't know whether he should agree.To him, Ah Yin was a hot potato, and even if he helped her, there wouldn't be much benefit.Weighing the pros and cons, Ye Feng decided to communicate with her first. Anyway, the current Ah Yin posed no threat whatsoever, and the initiative was in his hands.If Ah Yin could not persuade him, he would uproot her and kill her completely.Having come to Douluo Continent for ten years, Ye Feng had also gradually adapted to the rules here: the weak are prey to the strong, and the victor is king.Discarding unnecessary sympathy allowed one to live better.He was long gone from the past self who would feel pity for a rabbit he met by chance.Ye Feng walked up to Ah Yin, bent down, and released his mental force, connecting it with Ah Yin's mental force.The moment their mental forces connected, a gentle-tempered blue-haired woman appeared in Ye Feng's mind.A blue-and-gold long dress covered her entire body, and her azure-blue eyes were flawless like blue crystals.Only the fatigue revealed between her brows ruined this sense of beauty.Ah Yin was evidently somewhat surprised. She had somewhat resigned herself to her fate, not expecting this youth to proactively establish a connection with her.Ah Yin collected her thoughts, a smile hanging on her face as she asked Ye Feng:"Child, why did you establish a mental link with me? You seem not to be surprised by my existence."Indeed, from the moment the mental link was established, Ye Feng's expression had remained calm and waveless, without the slightest surprise, clearly having anticipated her existence long ago.Ye Feng couldn't be bothered to conceal it and went straight to the point:"I do know you, Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin. I have always known you were here.""Tang Hao didn't tell me; it has nothing to do with him. I came here for your hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone.""Now, I give you two choices. First, death, ending the muddle-headed torment in a place that never sees sunlight year-round.""Second, try to persuade me and give me a reason not to kill you.""I certainly don't want to be hunted down by Tang Hao. The benefits you can bring had better be able to make me ignore the risks involved."Ah Yin was somewhat troubled. She had thought Ye Feng was just an ordinary child from a village who had run here out of playfulness, and by then, having him do her a small favor shouldn't be too difficult.But she hadn't expected Ye Feng to come with a purpose and know her true identity.For a moment, she was in a dilemma."I... I can give my Spirit Bone to you."Ye Feng said in a cold tone:"Not enough; this is what I was going to take away in the first place."
