"Eh? Ah burned corpse? Did he got strucked by lightning? Thats fucking sucks." (Leo)
[Well then... I think it's around this area. Where should I start looking?]
"Cough! Cough! Little friend! Wait!" (Yue Feng)
When Leo was about to leave to search for the 'thing' that the thunder and lightning bombarded, someone called him.
[Hmmm!? Someone got close to me without me realizing it....]
Leo immediately used search magic to his surroundings and look around with vigilance, then he completely stop moving.
[There's no one here! What an incredible stealth ability!]
"Uhm... Little friend? Are you still there?" (Yue Feng)
[Eh? He can't see me? No, maybe he's just waiting for some opportunity to sneak attack me. But, he already have a chance earlier, right? Why chose to call me?]
Leo's brain run wild, thinking what's this mysterious person is thinking, why he didn't attacked immediately when his guard down, how did he concealed himself from him, etc,.
"Little friend? Did he left? Hah~" (Yue Feng)
When the mysterious person thought Leo already left. Leo suddenly shouted to this unknown, and invisible mysterious person.
"Who are you?! Show yourself!" (Leo)
"Uhm. Little friend? I'm here. Can you help me up? I'm sorry or bothering you but I still can't move." (Yue Feng)
Now that Leo is in full alert. He was able to follow where the voice coming from, so he naturally looked at it. Next, he focus all of his search magic on it.
After doing all of that, Leo finally realize that the 'burned corpse' still have an aura of life in it.
[How the hell this old man still alive?]
Leo slowly approach the old man and looked at him. There, a charcoaled old man with burnt smell trying his best to smile.
[What the hell.]
Leo confirmed that there's no danger on this old man's surrounding, that's the time he finally stood before this old man. He looked at this old man condition, and immediately lifted him and placed him under the shade of tree.
"Old man, what happened to you? Did you got struck by lightning?" (Leo)
"Well, yeah, to tell you the truth. I'm the one that thunder and lightning targeting." (Yue Feng)
[Uwaaahh. This old man realy got strucked by! How he's stilll alive? What a great luck!]
"You really have a great luck meeting me here today old man. I'll heal you." (Leo)
After saying that, Leo immediately casted healing magic to him.
"Hoho. You know a secret art in a young age! You have this old man thanks! Hmm?! What a pure spiritual energy!" (Yue Feng)
When the old man, Yue Feng, felt Leo's mana. He got surprised on how pure it is. He stared at Leo in shock, at the same time. He felt that his body is healing rapidly.
His burnt skin started to fall, and new skin replace it, his burnt flesh is going back to normal, and the thunder and lightning energy inside of his body gradually dissipating. Soon, his strength returned.

"All done old man. You should be able to walk. You better be careful though. Where still inside of the evil forest." (Leo)
Leo got up and prepare to continue his search again when Yue Feng called him again.
"Little friend, wait." (Yue Feng)
Leo stop then turned around again.
"Hm? What is it old man? Don't tell me you want me to escort you back? I'm sorry old man but I could only barely protect myself, so I have to refuse." (Leo)
"Eh? I haven't said anything though. But, that's not it. I just want to ask little friend a few questions." (Yue Feng)
"Question? About what?" (Leo)
"Uhm. May I know what little friend's name first? (Yue Feng)
Leo looked at the old man suspiciously but still gave him his name.
"It's Leo, and you old man?" (Leo)
"This old man is called the great cultivator, Yue Feng!" (Yue Feng)
Yue Feng said proudly.
But Leo only looked at the old man with strange eyes.
[Great cultivator? What in the hell a cultivator doing here? And what kind of plant is he cultivating to be called great? Maybe the reason he came here is to find more plants to cultivate?]
"Okay. And?" (Leo)
Yue Feng got embarrassed and surprised to Leo's indifference. He thought by using his title will peak Leo's interest in him.
[What the fuck?! Why would I be interested in this old man!]
"Uhm. Okay. I'm gonna ask you now. Where is this place?" (Yue Feng)
"Ehh... You entered the evil forest without knowing?" (Leo)
"Hehehe. No. I just encountered an accident and ended up here. Next is, what is the name of this realm?" (Yue Feng)
[Realm? Is he talking about the name of the kingdom who owned this area? Maybe that is.]
"Well, no one own this realm, because no one could conquer it. This place is a land of beasts." (Leo)
Hearing this. Yue Feng suddenly fell in silence and start pondering.
"No name and Land of beast? Maybe I really haven't ascend to the immortal realm but just entered another realm. Maybe that's the reason I encountered another thunder and lightning tribulation. I heard that the people in immortal realm who descends always need to go thunder and lightning tribulation...." (Yue Feng)
While Yue Feng is pondering, ascertaining his situation, Leo too, was thinking if this old man is okay in the head.
[What's wrong with this old man? He doesn't know where he is and now he's talking to himself. Is he okay mentally? Yep, that maybe right.]
Like that, Leo ascertained it too, that this old man Yue Feng is mentally retarded like himself by talking to himself.
[The fuck! I'm not talking to myself!]
"Ahem! Old man. If there's nothing else. I will go now. Bye." (Leo)
Waking up from his own world. Yue Feng immediately grab Leo's shoulders to stop him again, and threw a barrage of questions.
"Wait little friend Leo! I still have few questions! What are you doing here? According to you this forest is evil right? It's dangerous here right? Why are you alone here? Don't you have a family? Do you belong to a sect? Do you already have a master? Do you want me to become your master? How come do you have such a pure spiritual energy? Where do you live?" (Yue Feng)
Leo got panicked and unconsciously used his body enhancement magic to push him away. But to his surprised he failed.
"Wha-what the hell old man! Stop!" (Leo)
[What the hell! This old man is fucking strong! I can't escape!]
"Oh! Ahem! Sorry little friend. I just got excited." (Yue Feng)
[Fuck you!]
"So? Can you answer my questions little friend?" (Yue Feng)
"No! And why would I tell you why I'm here?! I can't even understand what you are saying!" (Leo)
"Oh... Sorry.. but little friend. Do you want to become my disciple? I can assure you that you will become immortal!" (Yue Feng)
[This old man is insane! But he's strong! But he's insane!]
"Why would I want to become your disciple?! I don't even know who you are!" (Leo)
"Like I said. I'm Yue Feng. The great cultivator." (Yue Feng)
[He really lost his mind.]
"Sorry old man. But no. Sorry. I'm going!" (Leo)
Leo suddenly run, afraid of the old man grab his shoulder again. He's stil using body enhancement spell mixed with his healing magic. He run with full force, leaving cloud of dusts behind him.
After running for some time. He finally stopped, and sighed.
"What the hell is wrong with that old man! Fucking crazy! Haaah~ I'll just continue to find myself a pet." (Leo)
"So where are we going to find you a pet?"
"The magic beasts left this area because of the storm yesterday. So I might go deeper in the forest. But that area is dangerous, even for me." (Leo)
"Oh? Dangerous? Should I help you?"
"No need. Hah~ I might just give up for today and search again next week." (Leo)
"Eh... That would be a waste of time. Let's go. I'm going to protect you so you don't need to worry."
"No. Don't underestimate the forest. I will just go home for today, you should go back where you came from too, old man." (Leo)
[Old man?]
"Old man?" (Leo)
"Yes?"
"Eeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!" (Leo)
"Hohohoho! Let's go little friend! We will find you a pet and make you my disciple! Hohoho! Don't underestimate this old man because I'm old! Even though my cultivation is now gone, I still have a powerful physical body! Hohoho!" (Yue Feng)
Yue Feng suddenly grab Leo's hand then run straight deeper to the forest while he dragged Leo. He run so fast, much faster than Leo's full force of running!
Because of shock and their speed, plus the wind slapping Leo's face. He couldn't do anything but shout in confusion and panick!
"Eeeeeeehhhhhhh!!!!!" (Leo)
