Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7462

Chapter 7376: Star River Waterfall

“We’ve made some progress, but we still can’t set off immediately.” Aurora smiled slightly, then patiently explained, “Yin Chen said there’s an underground black market in Fengxu. If we can contact the local bigwigs there, as long as we pay money—that is, Super Star Crystals—we might be able to find a way to get someone to send us outside Fengxu.”

“Well… let’s not even talk about whether this underground black market is reliable. We’re unfamiliar with this place and don’t know anyone. The problem is, we can’t find any connections either.” Sui Shenyao frowned.

“Yes, that’s why Yin Chen is also looking for someone who can provide this service. It’ll probably be difficult to find someone in a short time. After all, black markets aren’t exactly aboveboard, and there are very few people who can access them. Moreover, these people are either people of high status or vicious criminals.” Aurora sighed slightly.

At this moment, Li Tianming seemed to suddenly remember something. He slapped his forehead and said, “That’s right, although the Li Clan’s status here is only average, Senior Sister Chaoxi’s father, Uncle Xiao, is at least more familiar with Fengxu than we are. After all, it’s not his first time leading people to participate in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War. Perhaps we can ask him.”

“That’s true! Then let’s quickly contact Li Chaoxi and have her ask him!” Sui Shenyao nodded.

At this critical moment, Li Tianming took out the communication star tower and glanced at the scene before him.

Yinghuo was practicing swordsmanship with her wings as swords, but in reality, she was just stretching her muscles.

Meow Meow was lying sprawled out, completely unrefined.

In addition, the three Little Sixes were floating around in the sky, and Lanhuang was running wildly on the ground…

Li Tianming was sweating profusely, and he could only helplessly shout, “Brothers and sisters, let’s either calm down or go back to our companion space. I need to discuss Little Nine’s important life matters with someone!”

“…”

The scene instantly fell silent.

Although the companion beasts were usually quite unruly, they were actually quite sensible when it came to serious matters.

At this moment, Aurora whispered a few words in Li Tianming’s ear. Li Tianming’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately kissed Aurora.

“Auntie! You’re so thoughtful!” Li Tianming said with a beaming smile.

Aurora, her face slightly flushed, urged, “Alright, alright, let’s get started.”

At this moment, Li Tianming almost impatiently used the communication star tower to send a message.

Soon, the other communication star tower received the message, and Li Chaoxi’s image appeared in front of Li Tianming.

“What’s wrong? It’s rare for you to contact me proactively. Is there something you need?” Li Chaoxi said somewhat lazily.

“Nothing much, I just heard that the underground black market in Fengxu has a way to send outsiders like us out of the city. However, I’m new here and don’t know anyone. I was thinking of asking my father-in-law to find such connections.” Li Tianming said directly.

At this point, the more he tried to conceal his true intentions, the more suspicious he appeared. Therefore, Li Tianming directly stated his purpose.

Upon hearing this, Li Chaoxi was indeed quite surprised, saying, “Our Li clan has just experienced the major incident of three people disappearing, and you’re already thinking of leaving? Leaving is one thing, but you even want to leave Fengxu? What exactly are you trying to do?”

At this moment, Li Tianming inadvertently revealed the humanities classic he had been reading in the Aurora Layer, which he carried in his robes.

The plan, Aurora had already devised for Li Tianming.

His gaze was deep as he slowly said, “I’ve heard that in the Tianzang Province region not far from Fengxu, there’s a scenic spot called ‘Star River Waterfall,’ said to be incredibly magnificent. I’d like to go see it with you, just the two of us. It’s a pity we can’t go because of our foreign origins, which is a real shame. That’s why I wanted to ask my father-in-law for help.”

“How do you know about that place?” Li Chaoxi’s eyes suddenly lit up. “I’ve heard of it before. Actually, I’ve always wanted to go, but I haven’t had the chance. This is even my first time in the Qianfeng Eternal Empire…”

“Last time we went shopping, we bought quite a few things, including this book about humanities. I saw it here, and even a single picture is so beautiful. I really can’t imagine how breathtaking it would be to see it in person.” Li Tianming said, taking out a book and showing a simple illustration, his eyes full of longing.

Actually, this book was something Jiguang insisted on buying, saying it would help her learn more about the Qianfeng Eternal Empire. Unexpectedly, it not only helped her learn about the Tianzang Province but also came in handy now.

“So…so beautiful…” Li Chaoxi’s pupils trembled slightly as she looked at the image in the book in Li Tianming’s hands, seemingly moved as well.

Li Tianming had once suspected that his cheap father-in-law wanted him to take the charade into reality. If it was true, this opportunity for Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi to deepen their relationship might be something Li Dixiao might actually try his best to seize.

If Li Tianming misunderstood, he wouldn’t lose anything anyway, so it was a sure-fire deal.

“It’s beautiful, but this matter is indeed difficult to resolve. What should we do…” Li Chaoxi hesitated slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said, “Never mind, I’ll ask my father and see if there’s any way.”

“Really? Then I’m so grateful to Senior Sister! Let’s go see the Star River Waterfall together; it will definitely be an unforgettable memory of this trip to the Inner Frontier!” Li Tianming said with a bright and sunny smile.

Li Chaoxi was momentarily stunned by Li Tianming’s handsome face.

“You little rascal, you really know how to charm girls. No wonder so many women are smitten with you!” Li Chaoxi rolled her eyes after snapping out of her daze, then earnestly cautioned, “But let me make this clear first, three members of our clan have recently gone missing. The entire Li Clan is already in a precarious situation, and with the attitude of Fengxu towards outsiders, I can’t guarantee this will work.”

“It’s alright, just trying is enough. We finally made it out of the Heavenly Emperor’s Territory, we must make the most of it.” Li Tianming smiled, then added, “Remember to tell my father-in-law that we’ll be extra careful once we leave Fengxu, ensuring our safety. Let him rest assured.”

“Got it!” Li Chaoxi replied, but suddenly seemed to wake up, squinting her eyes and saying, “You took the initiative to ask me out this time… could it be that you’ve actually fallen for me? Something’s not right with you, tell me the truth, isn’t it?”

“When did you find out?” Li Tianming suddenly widened his eyes, feigning panic at being caught, then smiled and said, “Senior Sister Chaoxi is so talented and beautiful, isn’t it normal for her to fall for you? Tell me, what man in this world wouldn’t fall for you?”

“Pah! You heartless playboy, you don’t deserve me!” Li Chaoxi’s expression changed upon hearing this.

The fleeting ambiguity between them shattered instantly, like a dream bubble burst.

In this way, Li Tianming skillfully defused the other’s probing.
