My Sexy Female CEO

Chapter 1790 - 249: Can't Get Used to It?

There is a path leading to the outside world from the Kingdom of Leizhen, but that path is extremely dangerous, shrouded in thunderstorms year-round, and few dare to tread on it. Only soldiers and high officials who act in secret in the Kingdom of Leizhen dare to take this path.

The reason these people dare to take this road is because they possess a Magic Artifact bestowed by the Thunder King, which enables them to avoid the powerful lightning strikes.

Now, the Third Prince Lei Ming happens to have this Magic Artifact in his hand, so, to avoid being discovered by Moonlight Sect followers, they are taking this road.

The moment the two had barely walked a few days, Princess Fire Lotus arrived at the Kingdom of Leizhen.

Upon hearing that Lin Yifan had already left, Princess Fire Lotus stomped her feet in anger, then inquired about Lin Yifan's whereabouts.

The Thunder King sighed and shook his head, indicating he did not know.

At this, Princess Fire Lotus was at a loss about what to do.

Amidst the vast sea of people, where would she go to find this rascal?

Having received some rewards, she left the Kingdom of Leizhen and returned to the Heavenly Fire Kingdom.

Watching the distant departing figure of Princess Fire Lotus, the Grand Marshal beside the Thunder King curiously asked: "Your Majesty, why deceive her?"

Earlier, he wanted to speak but hesitated, realizing the Thunder King was deceiving Princess Fire Lotus, but since the Thunder King must have had his reasons, he dared not speak to correct him.

"That kid requested it, so I had no choice but to do him a favor." The Thunder King replied.

"I see."

...

After leaving the Kingdom of Leizhen, Lin Yifan, taking the Third Prince Lei Ming with him, headed towards the Great You Country together.

The moment they stepped out of the Kingdom of Leizhen's territory, Lei Ming uttered with a great sense of achievement: "Oh yeah! Finally out of the Kingdom of Leizhen!"

Seeing the grown-up Lei Ming being as gleeful as a child, Lin Yifan curiously asked: "Have you never been out of the Kingdom of Leizhen?"

"Lin Gongzi wouldn't know, ever since I was born, my father and mother cherished me like a precious jade in their palms, took great care of me, even forbidding me from leaving Heavenly Thunder City by 300 kilometers, so laugh if you must, but I have truly never been out of the Kingdom of Leizhen." Lei Ming replied with a bitter smile.

"Poor child."

"Lin Gongzi, have you been away from home, traversing the world on your own since childhood?" Lei Ming asked.

"You could say that, anyway ever since I was five, I could do ordinary household tasks, started farming at seven, joined the army at sixteen to serve the country, and rarely have gone back to my hometown ever since." Lin Yifan responded.

"So Lin Gongzi is a mortal, how did you cultivate so quickly? Just over twenty years old, and you've already reached the High Immortal First Realm?" Lei Ming was quite surprised.

"You too, at just over eighteen, managed to reach the High Immortal Second Realm, you should be the curious one, right?" Lin Yifan laughed.

"To be honest, I've lived for several decades, I maintain this appearance solely relying on Spiritual Energy." Lei Ming replied.

"Indeed, the offspring of cultivators are destined to embark on the path of cultivation, once they establish their Dantian and nourish their bodies with Spiritual Energy, their growth will slow down, certainly not aging as easily as mortals do." Lin Yifan pondered.

"Since you are a mortal, why does the First Emperor say your father is his benefactor? You two clearly don't live in the same era, what's going on here? Or are you already tens of thousands of years old?"

This question has always been a doubt for the Kingdom of Leizhen, everyone wants to unravel it, but they dare not inquire Lin Yifan.

Now with only the two of them present, Lin Yifan should not hesitate to disclose something.

"My past and present, I don't know, I only know when I woke up, I was just a mortal." Lin Yifan replied.

From start to finish, he never understood his identity, only when more people began to regard him as a descendant of the Sun God, did he begin to think of himself as such.

"Seems like Lin Gongzi's background is more arduous than I imagined."

Lei Ming was half convinced, because Lin Yifan's exceptional talent and advanced Martial Arts both suggested he might not be of the World of All Things, at least not a mediocre person; hence, believing Lin Yifan's words half-heartedly was enough, no need to take them completely true.

Departing from the Kingdom of Leizhen, they continued their journey.

At night, arriving at the desolate mountains, Lei Ming began to feel unaccustomed.

Not only was he unfamiliar with the food, but also the accommodation.

The food wasn't the delicious delicacies of the Imperial Palace, but rather, wild game sourced locally.

Sleeping was on the ground, without a high bed with soft pillows.

Seeing Lei Ming struggle to adapt to the mountain's wild game, Lin Yifan expressionlessly asked: "What's the matter? Started feeling unaccustomed?"

"No, Lin Gongzi, this wild game is fishy, smoky, and charred, not to mention having to eat it with one's hands, quite unaccustomed." Lei Ming answered truthfully.

"If you can't adapt, you can walk back along this small path, I'm not stopping you!" Lin Yifan remarked nonchalantly while chewing on a spirit chicken leg.

"Lin Gongzi, isn't this too harsh? I just got out, and you're sending me back already?"

"The coming life might be a hundred or a thousand times more strenuous, if you can't adapt to this hardship, I advise you to give up early." Lin Yifan explained.

"A hundred or a thousand times? Can't be, the books don't say so!" Lei Ming was astonished, unable to conceive the reality of the impending life.

"How do the books describe it?" Lin Yifan curiously asked.

"The books say that the life of training can be swift on beast rides, soaring on beast rides; fresh ingredients can be cooked on site without any cleansing; a cup of clear wine, savors worldly beauty; the mountains are adorned with purple roofs and crimson flowers, spirit beasts are harmonious; tree beds with flower pillows, butterflies dance, small birds chirp as they nest." Lei Ming replied.

"Pfft!"

Lin Yifan couldn't help but spit out the meat in his mouth, utterly amused.

Which scoundrel wrote that training manual? Misleading many!

"Why are you laughing, Lin Gongzi? Is what the book says incorrect?" Lei Ming, with clear and transparent eyes devoid of any blemishes, looked at Lin Yifan, curiously asked.

"Tell me who wrote that book?" Lin Yifan asked in return.

"It's written by a Great Immortal from Wumang Country." Lei Ming replied.

"Invite him over, I guarantee not to beat him to death."

"Uh... this... Lin Gongzi, isn't the life of training like this?" Lei Ming asked.

"The real life of training is just like this, a bonfire, some rare mountain delicacies, sleeping among all things.

Of course, if you want a more sumptuous and exquisite life, you can spend some time to achieve it. However, every second of training is extremely precious, a single lapse can lose the spirit beast you are looking for; a single delay can miss the chance to obtain treasures; a single relaxation might lead you to early demise in the Netherworld." Lin Yifan explained.

"That terrifying?"

Lei Ming was overwhelmingly surprised, never guessing the real training would be so harsh, full of dangers.

No wonder his father and mother always refused to let him go out for training, turns out there was a reason.

"It's just that terrifying." Lin Yifan replied.
