Enjoy your reading!
===
Mr. Turkey spent his day watching to see if his subordinates had returned or not. As evening approached, there was still no news.
"Strange. They should have killed him by now. It\'s not a problem with spiritual items," Mr. Turkey thought, furrowing his brow in confusion.
At that moment, someone knocked on his door.
Knock-knock-knock.
The knock was quiet, Mr. Turkey raised an eyebrow and opened the door.
"It\'s you!" he cried out happily, seeing the assassin captain in the doorway.
"Young master," the assassin nodded respectfully in greeting, and then said, "The task is complete... should I show you his head?"
"Hahaha, well done, good job!" Mr. Turkey rejoiced and looked around, then asked the captain to come inside.
Then, excitedly, Mr. Turkey took a bag in his hand and opened it.
BOOM!
A loud explosion sounded, and a blinding flash flew out of the bag.
"Aaaa! My eyes!"
Mr. Turkey fell to the ground, clutching his eyes, which were bleeding. The assassin captain watched all this coldly, not changing his expression.
"Did you like my gift, young master?" the captain asked, and cruelly smiled: "Enjoy."
Fifteen minutes later, a group of guards rushed in at the screams and broke down the door to the young master\'s bedroom.
"Heavens!"
They opened their eyes in shock, seeing that the prince\'s body had been dismembered, and the following words were written in blood:
[The Bai family does not forget insults]

Fifth day
The next day, Xie Qing and Xie Meiling left the city with a smile.
"Son. Last night, the city lord\'s son was brutally murdered. They say it was the Bai family," Xie Meiling said when they had moved five miles from the city gates. She narrowed her eyes and looked at his back: "Do you think so too?"
"Oh? Yes, the Bai family is indeed cruel. I shuddered at the thought that they would punish a poor and foolish young man so harshly! I cried all the tears when I heard about it," Xie Qing said in a gloomy tone, wiping away non-existent tears with a handkerchief: "Oh, what a misfortune!"
"Yes..."
Xie Meiling rolled her eyes, not believing this story for a second. She was not stupid – when Xie Qing returned to the hotel, he emanated dangerous energy and a faint smell of blood.
Although he washed it off, it was too late, and his actions were noticed by Xie Meiling. She did not attach importance to it then.
But this morning, the news of Mr. Turkey\'s death spread throughout the city. Many residents considered it a blessing from the heavens but pretended to be bitter.
It is said that the city lord almost lost himself in anger, but fearing the power of the Bai family, he remained silent.
***
Twenty-first day.
After Xie Qing generously distributed 100,000 Huang to the poor, he received this amount by destroying several more gangs.
Finally, they reached the only working teleportation formation that allowed them to travel to the next continent.
It was a fortress city built in the desert. Here lived many different poisonous monsters, and the level of death was high.
The air was polluted, and the city was inhabited only by cruel and strict cultivators who were former military of the Dynasty.
"So, one of you is a disciple of the Sect of Heavenly Sword, and you are his companion," said the city guard chief, looking at these two in the eyes, and then returned the disciple token to Xie Qing: "Traveling to the continent is not the cheapest pleasure. Do you have money?"
"Of course."
Xie Qing nodded at such a strange question. If he came here, he had money. However, the chief explained.
"Some cultivators think that it will be free for them, and I am already tired of explaining that the maintenance of the formation costs a lot of money."
Teleportation cost 1000 Spiritual Stones, as the distance covered was a full six thousand miles.
Either way, with the availability of money, they easily moved, although this time the teleportation took more than twenty minutes.
Leaving the formation, they sat down a little on the benches that stood nearby and rested.
"My head is spinning," Xie Qing sighed.
"Ugh... I\'ll never get used to this," Xie Meiling muttered.
Teleportation made them feel dizzy and nauseous as if they had seasickness.
This was a natural reaction, so none of the passers-by laughed at them. On the contrary, many people were surprised at how calmly they took it.
Because usually people either vomited or lost consciousness.
***
They arrived on the Western Continent earlier than expected. Settling into a hotel, Xie Qing bought a map of the Western Continent.
It was slightly smaller in size than the Eastern Continent, but in terms of nature, it was much more developed.
Everything here was clean, the air was pleasant and fresh.
At night, a view of bright stars appeared, greeting travelers and leading them on the road to immortality.
Xie Meiling sat on the bed and looked at Xie Qing\'s back, who leaned against the window and looked at the sky.
She was a little charmed by his expression, which was deep and inexpressive.
When the young man stopped behaving frivolously, he acquired an extraordinarily beautiful appearance. He exuded a strong charm.
Xie Meiling, even if she was used to the beauty of her son, who surpassed her, could not help but be charmed by his beautiful black eyes, which resembled the night sky.
Her eyes became tender. Seeing her adult son, who protected her so that she did not have to make any effort, she felt pride and love.
Perhaps, in this world, except for Yu Yang, she loved her arrogant but confident son the most.
Without realizing it, her emotions from the usual motherly love for her son turned into something else. The feeling of protection that the young man gave her was enough to touch her heart.
Her hands reached out, she hugged her son, and pressed against his tall and strong back. Standing behind his back, she felt protected, as if she held a tower shield in front of her.
"Hm?"
The young man was a little surprised by Xie Meiling\'s embrace, but he only smiled and said nothing, only gently stroking her soft hands that hugged his waist.
***
Xie Qing did not sleep all night, spent in thoughts and reflections, and then meditated. Thanks to his physique, he looked just as lively, not showing any sign of weakness or fatigue.
Stars shone in his eyes – he observed the lively picture of the city, the name of which was too long for Xie Qing to remember.
On the bustling street, there were many people, here on both sides of the long street were located trading stalls, in which local food was sold.
Mostly, these were either unusual wheat products, which here were called pasta, or meat.
Xie Qing, together with Xie Meiling, tried all this and could make a verdict that the Western Continent was indeed rich in cuisine.
"Delicious!" he thought, biting into a steak.
He liked the meat, cooked on the fire with spicy spices and sauce. This was a satisfying and unusual food because, on the Eastern Continent, seaweed dishes and mainly vegetables and fruits were popular.
Xie Meiling, on the other hand, was not surprised at all – she had visited all the continents in her life and was familiar with the local cuisine. However, even this experienced woman was pleased with the diverse taste of the food.
Of course, it was not only worth paying attention to the food. They were looking for books and something interesting, mainly the whim of Xie Qing looking for something new for research.
In the end, such a walk did not last long – they left closer to the evening and set off for the next city.
The road took them a week – it\'s no wonder because, on the Western Continent, teleportation formations are located only in the largest cities.
The city of Weijian – a place of concentration of one of the largest trading places. However, Xie Qing did not stay there for longer than three hours, and with the help of the teleportation formation, he went to the next city.
"It can be said that half the road has been traveled," Xie Qing thought, tilting his head to the side: "My goal was to gain experience and get closer to the Sect of Nine Pills, to try my luck and find pills that will help me in the future."
Of course, he could ask Xu Mei for this, and he would not be ashamed, but... Xie Qing wanted to gain experience, go a long way, and finally join society, to create a reputation for himself.
So far, he has been a disciple of the Sect of Heavenly Sword, which was also an honorable title, but for him, it was more important that his affiliation with the sect was mentioned last.
He had already been given the nickname of the benefactor, moreover, his strength was known in the eastern part of the Eastern Continent.
Considering that the eastern part of the continent was relatively sparsely populated, this was not something to boast about.
But the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
***
The Western Continent did not differ much in climate and it was warm, like spring, sometimes there were rains... like now.
Xie Qing lay on the bed inside the tent, in his hands lay Xie Meiling softly hummed.
"Lately she\'s been so lazy," the young man thought and smiled.
Recently, Xie Meiling\'s favorite pastime has been sleeping on Xie Qing\'s chest. I don\'t know how else to describe it, but for her, this also became a method of increasing her strength.
"Judging by her words, she is making great strides when I am next to her," Xie Qing thought, recalling her words – he was puzzled: "How does it work? Have I become a battery?"
One of the assumptions he made was that due to the impossibility of a breakthrough in connection with the wall, Qi sometimes flowed out.
But the chance of this was small, so Xie Qing thought that it was because of his aura, which calmed her. Either way, he was glad, as long as it brought benefits.
Looking out the window, Xie Qing watched the rain. They settled far from the cities, in the thicket of the forest, through the dense trees, drops of rain fell.
It was two o\'clock in the afternoon. At some point, the rain intensified.
"Mm..."
From the side of Xie Meiling, a muffled moan was heard. She raised her head and sleepily looked out the window.
"Rain?"
"Yes," Xie Qing nodded and kissed her on the crown of her head, stroking her hair: "Good morning... or rather, good afternoon, heh."
"Yeah..." Xie Meiling sleepily nodded and comfortably settled on Xie Qing\'s chest, pressing her head against his chin: "Uaah..."
She softly yawned, and it sounded very cute. When she heard Xie Qing\'s laughter, the sleepiness began to fade from her eyes, and she blushed a little.
"Cough..."
The woman left his embrace with a red face, and then changed the subject: "Have you eaten?"
"No," Xie Qing answered, continuing to smile: "Although, I am already full, seeing the cute behavior of my mother."
"Ugh... forget about it..."
Xie Meiling blushed with shame, covering her eyes. She shook her head from side to side, and then looked at the young man: "What are your plans for today?"
"Laze around in bed with my mom," Xie Qing answered casually.
"Heh..."
Xie Meiling fake smiled and shook her head. Sometimes it seemed to her that this guy was mocking her.
But it can\'t be said that she was not happy. The last month for her was like a miracle, she felt younger than her years and could lie in bed carefree, and not work in the sweat of her brow until she lost consciousness.
At some point, she realized that her emotions were not as pure as one might think at first glance.
