The indifferent atmosphere came to an abrupt halt as Lingfeng let out a sigh of relief, as if the heavy stone pressing on his chest had finally been lifted. After killing seven people this time, Lingfeng felt an immense pressure.
The White Horse in the stable saw Lingfeng and nodded with a snort.
"Are you the White Horse King?" Lingfeng approached the White Horse King and asked skeptically.
The White Horse King did not know who Lingfeng was, but sensing no malice from him, he nodded lightly and coldly asked, "Who are you?"
"A disciple of the Demon Suppression Sect," Lingfeng said proudly whenever he mentioned his affiliation.
The White Horse King was taken aback and looked at Lingfeng again, saying, "What do you want?"
The White Horse King's indifference surprised Lingfeng. He had thought that after saving the White Horse, the king would be more amiable towards him, but he remained expressionless, as if they were at odds.
"Hey!" Lingfeng said somewhat dissatisfied. "I saved you; why do you look so cold?"
The White Horse King remained impassive, lifting his wine gourd to his mouth but finding it empty.
Lingfeng smiled brightly and squatted in front of the White Horse King. Suddenly, a strong smell of horse manure hit him. Holding his breath, he laughed and said, "You have no wine left? Why not come with me? I guarantee you'll drink your fill!"
The White Horse King glanced at Lingfeng, a flicker of doubt passing through his eyes as if he still did not fully trust him.
"Well~~!" Lingfeng looked at the White Horse in the stable and cheerfully waved his hand. "You, White Horse, suddenly ran off; that's really inconsiderate!" Although he was speaking to the horse, it was actually meant for the White Horse King to hear.
The White Horse King understood the implication and realized that Lingfeng was the customer who had rented the White Horse last time. He then stood up and walked to the stable to bring out the horse, saying, "Let's go drink."
"That's more like it!" Lingfeng said proudly. Just as they stepped out of the fence, Lingfeng paused mysteriously and said to the White Horse King, "Wait a moment; there's still something I need to take care of!" With that, he softly recited an incantation, causing the ground beneath several corpses to suddenly turn over and bury them.
"All done!" Lingfeng clapped his hands lightly without paying attention to the astonished look on the White Horse King and walked away humming.
Upon arriving at the inn, Lingfeng had someone fetch a bucket of water and then used the Water Control Technique to clean up the White Horse King thoroughly.
Then, he performed the Water Control Technique to clean the clothes of the White Horse King. When the White Horse King finished tidying up and turned around, Lingfeng was momentarily stunned.
At that moment, the White Horse King was dressed in pure white, with a face as beautiful as jade. A strand of hair floated on his forehead, giving him the appearance of a charming young gentleman.
"Wow! In this Cultivation Realm, not only are the women beautiful, but even the men are incredibly handsome!" Lingfeng murmured to himself.
"I've heard that the Demon Suppression Sect is a major sect, but I never expected that they could use the Five Elements Technique!" The White Horse King, feeling less reserved and gaining an understanding of Lingfeng, said in disbelief.
Lingfeng nodded and humbly replied, "My Five Elements Technique is still not perfected. The true Five Elements Technique is profound and extensive; even the Demon Suppression Sect does not possess it!"
This was indeed true. Although it was difficult to gather the Five Elements Technique throughout the entire Cultivation Realm, the genuine Five Elements Technique was far from being as superficial as Lingfeng's.
"By the way!" Lingfeng asked again, "How did you tame those white horses?"
The White Horse King paused for a moment and said, "I don't know; I just have a natural ability to communicate with white horses. Therefore, taming them is very easy for me!"
Lingfeng secretly clicked his tongue. He had heard that there were many talented individuals in the Cultivation Realm, but this was the first time he had heard of someone being able to communicate with animals. However, he didn't understand why the White Horse King only communicated with white horses and asked, "Why don't you tame black horses?"
"Because I can't communicate with black horses; I don't understand their language!" The White Horse King replied casually.
This was indeed strange. Lingfeng thought to himself, could it be that within the horse tribe there are also regional languages? Do horses of different colors speak different languages?
While they were chatting, a waiter gently pushed open the door and brought in various dishes.
"Dear guests, please enjoy your meal. If there isn't enough food or drink, just call for me, and I will bring more!"
Lingfeng smiled and nodded; he already had a very good impression of this waiter.
The waiter poured two cups of wine and then turned to leave.
This wine was the best in the inn; once poured out, its fragrance immediately filled the entire room.
White Horse King caught a whiff of the wine and his eyes sparkled. He hurried over to the table, ignoring the food, and gulped down a cup.
Lingfeng, not having much of a tolerance for alcohol, picked up his cup and said, "Brother Bai, I can't drink too much! Since you enjoy drinking, go ahead and indulge!"
"Hey~~!" White Horse King quickly stopped Lingfeng, took the cup from his hand, and replaced it with a wine bottle. He said, "I usually drink from a gourd; drinking from a cup feels rather dull. I think we should use this Porcelain Bottle to drink!"
"Ah~~!" Lingfeng's eyes widened. His tolerance was already low, and now he had to drink from the Porcelain Bottle. He hesitated.
"Hahahaha~!" White Horse King suddenly burst into laughter, holding the Porcelain Bottle under his nose and taking a light sniff. His satisfied expression was evident as he said, "Since my brother can't handle much alcohol, all this wine is mine!" With that, he began to gulp it down.
This was the first time Lingfeng had seen someone drink like this. He immediately understood what it meant to be addicted to alcohol!
As they continued drinking, there were four or five Porcelain Bottles on the table. Lingfeng picked up his chopsticks and had a few bites of food before chatting with White Horse King.
"Brother Bai, do you have any relatives elsewhere?" Lingfeng asked.
At that moment, White Horse King's face had just turned slightly rosy, making his originally clean and handsome features even more endearing.
"Relatives?" White Horse King pondered for a moment and replied, "I don't have any relatives here, but before my father passed away, he mentioned that in Divine Descendants Sanctuary, I still have my maternal uncle!"
"Divine Descendants Sanctuary!" Lingfeng exclaimed. "The Divine Descendants Sanctuary is inhabited by descendants of gods; there are no mortals living there. Could your relatives be descendants of gods?"
"Hehe~!" White Horse King chuckled self-deprecatingly, took a sip of wine, smacked his lips, and said, "What descendants of gods? I'm neither human nor divine!"
Lingfeng shook his head thoughtfully and said, "Since you can understand the words of the white horse, you might really be a descendant of some god. Perhaps you inherited your mother's gifts." After a pause, he added, "I see you can't stay in Bai Family Town. Why not go to Divine Descendants Sanctuary? You might truly be a descendant of gods!"
Descendants of gods refer to the offspring of ancient deities. For example, descendants of Nuwa or Xing... It is well known that we Chinese people are all descendants of Yan and Huang.
Moreover, there is no distinction between genders among these descendants; whether male or female, as long as they have their own children, they are considered descendants of gods.
White Horse King pondered for a while, continuously sipping his wine. His gaze flickered between brightness and darkness as if he had something on his mind.
Lingfeng looked at White Horse King, unable to grasp his thoughts, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you have some unspoken troubles?"
White Horse King glanced at Lingfeng and slowly replied, "Actually, I have thought about going to Divine Descendants Sanctuary as well, but the journey is long, and when I can reach there is truly a question."
Lingfeng smiled calmly and said, "You don't need to worry about that." He casually chanted, "Gold, appear!" Suddenly, a flash of golden light appeared, revealing a pile of Gold Ingots on the table.
White Horse King was stunned. Lingfeng's display of magic had left him unsure whether he was dealing with a god or a human. After a moment, White Horse King looked at Lingfeng and then at the Gold Ingots on the table, dumbfoundedly asking, "Are you a human or a deity? How can you turn the earth and conjure gold so easily!"
Lingfeng couldn't help but chuckle. Although White Horse King possessed extraordinary abilities, his exaggerated expression was quite amusing. Holding back his laughter, Lingfeng replied, "Brother Bai, you flatter me. I'm no deity; I just have a treasure that can hold all things. These gold ingots were given to me by the sect leader when I left, but I've always preferred using silver coins and copper coins. I really have no use for this gold. So consider it travel money; it should be enough for you to safely reach Divine Descendants Sanctuary!"
"Give it to me!" White Horse King seemed surprised, then took a sip of wine and stopped looking at the gold on the table. He said seriously, "No, I cannot accept something for nothing. Besides, we are not related; how can I accept your generosity!"
Lingfeng secretly wiped his sweat, thinking how quickly White Horse King's attitude had changed. However, seeing this side of him made Lingfeng feel he was an honorable person. He smiled and said, "Brother Bai, since we have already met, we are naturally friends. Moreover, I have already killed for you and offended White Jade Escort Agency; are we still strangers? Do you want me to offer my life in return?"
Upon hearing Lingfeng's words, White Horse King spat out all his drink and couldn't help but cough repeatedly while giving Lingfeng several incredulous looks.
Lingfeng hurriedly handed a towel to White Horse King and added, "Moreover, the Cultivation Realm is fraught with danger; even cultivators can be unpredictable. Now that I've offended White Jade Escort Agency, I might also offend the State Government in the future!" Lingfeng's tone was serious as if his journey was indeed that arduous.
With a deep sigh filled with grievances, Lingfeng suddenly grabbed White Horse King's arm and said with feigned tears in his eyes, "Brother Bai, if you truly are a descendant of the divine race, then one day I might receive your favor. If I offend someone in the Cultivation Realm in the future, at least you could protect me!"
