My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

However, Leng Yihan didn't intend to do anything to the red-haired fairy. Although the power of this strike looked great, in reality, Leng Yihan would properly contain the released energy, and the actual distance between the blade and the red-haired woman would not be particularly close, but rather a subtle distance.

But it's all good... The more the red-haired fairy uses the power of time, the deeper Leng Yihan's understanding of the power of time will become.

If this continues... it will probably take a few days for Leng Yihan to comprehend the laws of time.

He never expected that his comprehension would become so terrifyingly advanced after he awoke from this seal.

At this moment, Leng Yihan couldn't help but wonder if someone had tampered with her... However, although Leng Yihan was distracted, the red-haired fairy was not. After confirming that she had retreated to a safe position, she slashed forward again, the power of time on her sword condensing once more, and slashed at Leng Yihan again.

"Is this ever going to end...?" Leng Yihan quickly came to her senses and said with a frown.

If this continues, the fighting might really last for several days, and by then the surrounding area will be severely damaged...

"Hmph! Freeze time!" The red-haired fairy suddenly shouted, and the surrounding time power instantly froze Leng Yihan in a way that resembled 'binding,' leaving Leng Yihan only able to watch helplessly as the sword blade flew towards her.

"Break!" Lu Youmei's figure appeared, and the seal that could not hold Leng Yihan for long was broken in an instant. Leng Yihan hurriedly used defensive measures, and a huge ice shield appeared in front of the sword blade. By the time the red-haired fairy broke the ice shield with a sword, Leng Yihan behind the ice shield had already disappeared without a trace.

"Tsk... Damn it... That woman is still alive..." The red-haired fairy had already withdrawn the spatial domain she had just released to suppress Leng Yihan, otherwise she might still be able to detect where Leng Yihan was.

This spatial domain was something she had independently researched and developed based on a very ancient cultivation method. It was the Red-Haired Fairy's masterpiece. However, she hadn't expected that the formation that had trapped that guy for at least a day last time could only trap him for less than a second this time.

"Damn it... So many losses! What exactly does that guy want?! Once ten years ago, and now he's doing it again... Is our next meeting going to be ten years from today...?"

"It won't take that long, fairy, calm down now..." Before Leng Yihan could finish speaking, the red-haired fairy turned around instantly and slashed at Leng Yihan with her sword.

Leng Yihan showed no intention of dodging. As the sword was about to strike her, she remained calm and composed, displaying the demeanor of a great general.

The red-haired fairy's sword pierced through Leng Yihan's body in an instant, leaving the red-haired fairy utterly astonished.

"Heh heh... It worked..."

411 Negotiations

"what!"

"Hmph... As expected, although it's right in front of me, we're not in the same time or space. Its spatial power... is much stronger than I imagined..." Leng Yihan muttered to herself, while reaching out to touch the red-haired fairy.

"What do you want to do!" Seeing Leng Yihan's outstretched hand, the red-haired fairy was very cautious and wanted to take a step back, but unexpectedly, Leng Yihan's speed suddenly increased a lot and passed through her body in an instant.

"The power of time!" Ignoring their intimate and shameful posture, the red-haired fairy's face showed a shocked expression.

She was absolutely certain that the power she had just experienced was the power of time!

"How is that possible!"

Wait... calm down... he might have already mastered the power of time, and he just wanted to use it now to shock me so he could ambush me...

The red-haired fairy forced herself to think this way, because only this idea was the most reasonable. How could she have learned the power of time so quickly in just a few minutes of fighting!

"Hmm... It's a bit difficult to use... The power of time... It's indeed not so easy to learn. It's much more difficult than the power of space. It seems that you are an absolute genius in this area, Fairy." Leng Yihan sighed. He could sense that the red-haired fairy in front of him had the same cultivation level as him, but she had mastered the power of time, which even those at the eighteenth level might not be able to comprehend.

Amazing!

If the Red-Haired Fairy knew what Leng Yihan was thinking, she might do everything in her power to kill him.

This genius is too ironic! Ten years ago, he could easily defeat a junior, but now, ten years later, he's completely helpless against him!

"You bastard..."

"Has the fairy calmed down now... To be honest, I don't remember what happened ten years ago either. My amnesia is too severe, so... can we wipe the slate clean of past grievances?" Leng Yihan asked apologetically—which was probably impossible.

"Impossible! What are you trying to do, you bastard! You've trespassed into my secluded cultivation place twice!" the red-haired fairy said angrily.

"Huh? You take a bath during seclusion? By the way, you set up the exit so obviously yourself... Is it my fault that I walked in out of curiosity?" Leng Yihan had a smug look on her face.

"You!" The red-haired fairy's veins bulged, and she desperately wanted to kill this guy.

"Speaking of which... Fairy, you're about to expose yourself several times now. Aren't you going to change your clothes?"

"Who wants to change clothes in front of a complete stranger like you! Do you even know who you are? We don't even know each other's names!"

"My name is Leng Yihan, and... since the fairy is changing her clothes, I'll excuse myself for a moment." Leng Yihan said, turning around and walking towards a door not far away—that was the bathhouse, the place where the red-haired fairy had just taken a bath.

Watching Leng Yihan walk straight through the door, the red-haired fairy took a few deep breaths and quickly put on a red-and-white robe with a normal cultivation style.

It's definitely not modern anymore... It seems this fairy is out of touch with the times.

After changing her clothes, the red-haired fairy took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and looked coldly at the bathhouse.

She was wondering how to deal with this guy... He didn't seem to have any malice throughout, and even his only offensive strike was slightly restrained... Plus, he kept trying to say something to me... Did he need something from me?

After calming down, the red-haired fairy also noticed something amiss in the exchange between the two.

"Fairy, are you done?!"

“My name is Shi Yi, Shi as in time, and Yi as in one, two, three,” Shi Yi said.

"Hello... My name is Leng Yihan." Leng Yihan walked out from behind the door. He originally wanted to see the bathhouse, which was much larger and more luxurious than this cultivation place, but he hadn't taken more than a few steps when he saw many incredible things... Leng Yihan dared not wander around anymore, as he had already raised the other party's anger level to a very high level.

"What do you want from me?" Shi Yi asked coldly.

"Well..." Leng Yihan originally wanted to change the subject, but when she saw Shi Yi's attitude of getting straight to the point and not wasting her time, Leng Yihan suddenly got stuck.

"Ok?"

"I'd like to study your power of time..."

As soon as Leng Yihan finished speaking, she saw the veins on Shi Yi's head bulge again, and his hand slowly reached towards the sword.

"Wait, wait, wait! I don't want your inheritance. You just need to unleash your power of time on me. Similarly, if you need it, I can let you experience the power of space. The most important law to reach the peak is the mastery of the power of space. It's an equal exchange, how about it?" Leng Yihan said hurriedly.

"You're bragging! How could I possibly control your spatial power?" Shi Yi looked at him like he was a fraud.

"Huh? But I've already mastered yours." Leng Yihan said with a puzzled look, while struggling to mobilize a little bit of time power again.

It's insignificant, and it takes several times the mental effort to control it, which is not worth it. If possible... Leng Yihan wants to learn more about it.

[I have a recommendation for you: if you cultivate with her directly... the power of spacetime will be easier to control.]

[But even if I hadn't been killed by this Fairy Shi Yi directly after that, I would still have been chopped to pieces by Bing Lan and Xiao Yin with a machete...]

Leng Yihan rejected Lu Youmei's suggestion.

"You!" Shi Yi could no longer hold back after hearing Leng Yihan's words. He drew his sword and slashed at Leng Yihan directly—of course, it passed right through him and didn't hurt him at all.

"Wait a minute! How about I take you into the spatial passage? I believe that as long as you cultivate, the power of time will permeate the air. I felt it when I entered the room before. At that time, you were cultivating in the spatial tunnel, and I was feeling the power of time around you... Hey, why are you attacking again!" Leng Yihan hurriedly dodged Shi Yi's sword again and again. Although it wouldn't hit her, Leng Yihan still felt very flustered.

"Do you think I'm a fool?! If you had closed the spatial portal back then, I would have died instantly!" Shi Yi said through gritted teeth.

"I swear! I would never do that. I genuinely want to master your power of time!" Watching Leng Yihan speak so earnestly about things that seemed impossible yet were actually achievable, Shi Yi felt a surge of anger.

In just a few minutes of seeing each other, Shi Yi felt like she was about to be driven mad with anger...

"Cough cough... I'm sorry, I was too excited and rude... Don't worry, I will at least ensure the passage in and out of the spatial channel, and at the very least, I will keep the spatial channel from collapsing, otherwise we will both die," Leng Yihan said.

"...Why should I believe you? The time we've spent together, including our conversation ten years ago, wouldn't have exceeded two hours. We're complete strangers. Why should I believe you?" Shi Yi said cautiously.

How can you believe me?

"Let's make a soul contract, the simplest method." Shi Yi didn't intend to refuse outright. Leng Yihan could also see that experiencing spatial power was quite attractive to Shi Yi.

“Okay.” Leng Yihan immediately began to draft a soul contract. The content was very simple, basically what Leng Yihan had just said.

The gist of it is: Leng Yihan will guide Shi Yi to experience the power of space, but similarly, Shi Yi will also allow Leng Yihan to experience her power of time. The time limit is either Leng Yihan's comprehension of the power of time or Shi Yi's comprehension of the power of space.

Another rule is that the two people cannot harm each other, nor can they indirectly harm each other.

Those who violate the rules will be annihilated, and the contract will expire when Leng Yihan comprehends the power of space or when Shi Yi comprehends the power of space.

"...Let's leave it at that." Shi Yi said after glancing at it a few times. The contract was short, but it was enough. Too much would be too much of a burden.

"It's settled then." The two imprinted their auras onto the soul contract, which was then instantly burned away after being confirmed. In the darkness, the two were connected by something.

"Alright, now that the deal is done... come with me." Leng Yihan said, casually opening a spatial portal and stepping inside.

"Wait... let me ask first, is it possible to return via the space tunnel?"

“Hmm… If you don’t want to stay here any longer, I can take you to another world. Only the length of the spatial passage to another world and the density of spatial power are sufficient for you to cultivate spatial power,” Leng Yihan said.

"...By the way, how did you cultivate without any techniques?"

"Huh? Cultivation technique? What cultivation technique? Do I need a cultivation technique?" Leng Yihan was dumbfounded. Only then did he realize that although he had cultivated a technique along the way, he had never used it.

[It's just that you haven't consciously used it. In fact, the cultivation technique you practice is constantly running, except for magic that doesn't involve any specific cultivation.]

Lu Youmei explained to Leng Yihan that although Leng Yihan was now stronger, his knowledge in this area was still very weak... After all, if you had to count the ten years he was sealed during his cultivation... then it would be ten years plus a few months.

"You..." Shi Yi was about to make a move, but when he thought of the contents of the soul contract, he quickly suppressed his anger.

"Alright, enough talk, let's get going."

"Okay, come with me."

412 Ran into an acquaintance

Behind the spatial gate, after seeing that Leng Yihan hadn't immediately come out after opening the spatial gate, Ruo Yiming quickly used a healing array to heal a thin boy covered in injuries and stuffed him back into the spatial prison. Then she glanced at Chu Zhu.

"I won't say anything!" Chu Zhu quickly said upon seeing Ruo Yiming's gaze.

"..." Ruo Yiming withdrew her gaze expressionlessly, walked to the spatial gate, and waited for Leng Yihan's return. Not long had passed.

A moment later, Leng Yihan passed through the spatial gate and arrived in front of Ruo Yiming. Behind her emerged a red-haired fairy with a hot figure and imposing presence, her eyes filled with hostility as she looked at Leng Yihan.

"...Yihan?"

“It’s alright, no need to do anything… We made a deal,” Leng Yihan said.

"Hmm." Hearing Leng Yihan say this, Ruo Yiming didn't say anything more, nodded, and then pointed to the group of people squeezed together and said, "Yihan, they have all been captured. A few more came along the way, and they have all been caught as well."

“Not bad… Chu Zhu, what do you want to do with them?” Leng Yihan nodded, then looked at Chu Zhu and asked.

Shi Yi didn't say anything... She could tell that Leng Yihan wanted to deal with the immediate issues first.

Speaking of this girl talking to Leng Yihan... doesn't she look a lot like Leng Yihan from ten years ago? Is she her younger sister?

Noticing Shi Yi's gaze, Ruo Yiming turned her head, a faint smile appearing on her cold expression, instantly winning Shi Yi's heart.

"So cute..."

"Thank you," Ruo Yiming replied softly.

Upon hearing Ruo Yiming's reply, Shi Yi blushed, not expecting that she had unconsciously spoken her true feelings.

During their brief interaction, Leng Yihan and Chu Zhu discussed their plan: to torture these people to find out what kind of organization they belonged to, and then they would leave and return later to avenge their sect.
