Chapter 2048

A few days later, Yang Kai returned to Fenglin City again.

After entering the city gate, Yang Kai didn’t even have time to report his safety to Kang Siran before hastily returning to the cave dwelling he rented.

Taking out the token, Yang Kai poured Source Power into it and waved it at the cave dwelling restriction.

But to his utmost astonishment, this cave dwelling restriction didn’t respond at all, as if this token of his had lost its function.

This made his brows furrow, but soon, he remembered one thing.

When he first came to Fenglin City, the rental period of the cave dwelling seemed to be one year. Calculating the days, this period should have passed as early as two months ago.

Once the period passed, the right to use the cave dwelling would definitely be taken back.

Yang Kai’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, realizing that something was amiss.

The expiration of the cave dwelling period didn’t matter much. At worst, he could just go to the City Lord’s Mansion to handle the registration and rent a new one. It was just a matter of some Source Crystals.

He hadn’t stored any overly precious items in the cave dwelling either, so there was no need to worry too much.

But… before he left, that little girl from the Zhang family was still in the cave mansion.

At that time, he went to Yuanding Mountain with Kang Siran to explore Gong Sunmu’s cave mansion. He didn’t expect to be delayed for such a long time. He originally thought that he could return soon. Before leaving, he didn’t even explain in detail to Zhang Ruoxi. He just told her that he was going out and left her alone here.

Now the usage period of the cave mansion has expired and the usage right has been taken back. But what about that girl Zhang Ruoxi？

Yang Kai looked around and didn’t see that slender figure, and couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

When he left, Zhang Ruoxi only had the cultivation base of the First-Order Saint King Realm. In this Fenglin City where dragons and snakes are mixed. she didn’t have much power to protect herself. In case she was targeted by some people with ulterior motives, the consequences would be disastrous.

“Could she have returned to the Zhang family by herself？” Yang Kai muttered to himself.

If it were him in Zhang Ruoxi’s position, if after the usage right of the cave mansion was taken back and then he was driven out of the cave mansion. He would definitely go back to the Zhang family first. If this was the case, then there was nothing to worry about. After all, although the Zhang family was not strong, there were at least two Void King Realms.

Just when Yang Kai had no clue, there was suddenly a fluctuation of the prohibition of beside him.

Yang Kai was stunned. He turned his head and saw that the door of the cave mansion was actually open, and a young woman’s pretty face protruded from it. The young woman looked about thirty years old. Her beautiful eyes surveyed Yang Kai extremely vigilantly, and she asked suspiciously, “Who are you？”

Yang Kai quickly clasped his fists and said, “I’m Yang Kai. I was originally the owner of this cave mansion.”

The young woman frowned and said, “This cave mansion has been rented by me now. There was no thing left inside when I came in.”

“I know. I’m not here to look for things.” Yang Kai smiled slightly and tried to be kind.”

“Not looking for things？” The young woman looked even morefeel uncertain when she saw this. “Then what are you doing？”

“Looking for someone. A young girl.” Yang Kai said hurriedly. “She should have lived here originally, but now she’s gone. I wonder if Madam has seen her.”

When she heard that Yang Kai was here to look for someone, the young woman’s beautiful eyebrows and her complexion changed slightly. She quickly shook her head and said, “I haven’t seen her.”

While speaking, she retracted her head and closed the door at the same time.

“Wait!” When Yang Kai saw this, he immediately understood that she must know something. How could he allow her to retreat like this? With a stretch of his hand, he holds the door.

The young woman’s complexion changed drastically, and she said harshly, “What do you want to do? This is Fenglin City！”

Yang Kai snorted coldly, directly flashed into the cave mansion, closed the door at hand and his eyes coldly stared at the young woman. At the same time, a powerful aura burst out from his body and directly to the young woman.

“Dao Source Realm!” Sensing the terror of this aura, the young woman’s complexion suddenly changed drastically and she let out a shrill cry. The beautiful eyes looking at Yang Kai finally changed in flavor.

In Fenglin City, the strength level of martial artists is generally not high. There are not many Dao Source Realm powerhouses, and each one has a great background and is by no means something that ordinary martial artists can provoke.

So as soon as she perceived Yang Kai’s cultivation level, the young woman became a little flustered.

She was only at the Void King 1-layer Realm. How could she withstand the pressure of a Dao Source Realm powerhouse? Although she was struggling to hold on, her body suddenly went limp, and she reached out to support the wall beside her to avoid being overwhelmed.

She gently bit her red lip and looked at Yang Kai pleadingly, saying, “Little brother, we have no grudges in the past and no enmity in the present. I have never offended you either. Please don’t make things too difficult for me…”

“I won’t make things difficult for you.” Yang Kai said with a cold face and a faint tone. “I just have a few questions to ask. You answer them honestly. If you dare to lie even a single word, I will make you wish you were dead！ You should know that I have this ability！”

Upon hearing this, the young woman gritted her teeth and nodded slightly.

“Very good. Let me ask you, have you seen that little girl？” Yang Kai’s eyes stared at the other party, not missing any slightest change in her expression.

“I don’t know if that little girl is the one you’re looking for, but I did see a little girl, right at the entrance of the cave…”

“Tell me about it. How old is she, what’s her cultivation level, and what are her characteristics?” Yang Kai asked eagerly.

“She looks about sixteen or seventeen years old. In terms of cultivation level, she’s at the peak of the Second-Order Saint King Realm and is about to break through to the Third-Order Saint King Realm. She looks rather frail, with a slender figure, speaks in a soft voice, and has black, shiny, and straight hair…”

“That’s her without a doubt.” Yang Kai’s eyes lit up, Youdaoplaceholder0 that the person the young woman had seen was Zhang Ruoxi. However, he never expected that in less than a year Zhang Ruoxi’s cultivation level could rise from the First-Order Saint King Realm to the peak of the Second-Order Saint King Realm and was about to break through to the Third-Order Saint King Realm.

It seems that the little girl has a good talent. Of course, there must also be the credit of that Leopard Solution Washing Marrow Pill in it.

“You said you saw her at the entrance of the cave？ What was she doing at the entrance of the cave？” Yang Kai asked with a frown again.

The young woman said, “She was just standing at the entrance…”

“Standing？” Yang Kai was Stunned .

“That’s right, just standing there. I rented this place two months ago, and she was already at the entrance of the cave at that time. But I didn’t pay attention. Later, I found that she had been standing there without moving. Out of curiosity, I asked her. She told me that she was waiting for a Mr. Yang… Little brother, are you that Mr. Yang？”

As the young woman asked, she nervously looked up at Yang Kai and found that Yang Kai was actually stunned there.

At this moment, Yang Kai’s heart was fluctuating.

In his mind, a scene involuntarily emerged. In the bustling Fenglin City, in front of this cave abode, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl stood quietly in place. Despite the wind and the sun, she remained motionless. From time to time, she looked around, but still did not see the familiar figure…

In the noisy city, she was like an abandoned person, lonely, hesitant, and at a loss.

When night fell and the cold wind blew, she could only curl up in place and shiver with cold…

When dawn broke, she opened her eyes and continued to wait.

Yang Kai’s mood was inexplicably heavy.

“I saw that she was pitiful and invited her in to sit for a while, but she didn’t agree. She told me that she wanted to stand there and wait… Mr. Yang, little brother, I really didn’t do anything to her. Don’t make things difficult for me.” The young woman looked at Yang Kai with a face full of fear, for fear that Yang Kai would vent his anger on her.

“Since you didn’t do anything to her, then why didn’t you tell me the truth at the beginning? Instead, as soon as you heard me ask about her whereabouts, you immediately wanted to close the cave abode? You clearly have a guilty conscience.” Yang Kai looked at the young woman coldly, and a thick murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The young woman seemed to sense something. With a start, she quickly waved her hand and said, “No, no, it’s not what you think… I really didn’t harm her.”

“Speak, where is she now? Judging from your expression, you seem to know something.” Yang Kai said coldly.

The young woman shook her head.

Yang Kai chuckled lightly. “It seems that you have some concerns！”

“Little brother, don’t force me anymore. Spare me. As long as you don’t force me, I can do anything for you.” The young woman began to plead for mercy, her words carrying a hint of implication. As she spoke, her expression even became somewhat charming, and her eyes became watery.

Yang Kai’s expression was indifferent and he remained unmoved. Suddenly, a strand of strange power lingered around his fingertip, and his voice was low with a hint of impatience. “Speak, or die！”

As he spoke, he slowly stabbed towards the young woman’s forehead.

Seeing Yang Kai’s heart of stone, the young woman finally became a little flustered and said, “Go to the Jiang family… Maybe you can find her there！”

“The Jiang family?” Yang Kai’s finger stopped three inches away from the young woman’s forehead, and the power lingering around his fingertip suddenly dissipated. He looked at the young woman thoughtfully and said, “No wonder you are so concerned. It turns out to be the Jiang family! But… What do the people of the Jiang family want to take her away for?

“I don’t know!” The young woman shook her head. “A month ago, several men came and talked to her, and then she followed those people away. Out of curiosity, I quietly followed them and found that they entered the Jiang family. I really don’t know anything else. Even if you kill me it won’t be of any use!

“She took the initiative to follow them away？” Yang Kai frowned.

“Yes！” The young woman nodded.

“Alright, many thanks to Madam for your honest telling. Farewell.” Yang Kai cupped his hands and with a flash, he rushed out.

After Yang Kai left, the young woman slumped to the ground like a puddle of mud, and her clothes were all soaked with sweat.

She had no sect or faction. She was able to cultivate to the Void King 1-layer Realm entirely relying on her own efforts and various opportunities. She had never come into contact with a strong person at the Dao Source Realm. Today, being intimidated by Yang Kai’s pressure at close range really scared her half to death.

Fortunately, Yang Kai was quite reasonable and didn’t really do anything to her. Otherwise, she would definitely have been powerless to resist.

After a long while, the young woman regained her strength. Then she suddenly got up and rushed into the cave, quickly packing up her things.

Not long after, the young woman walked out of the cave and went straight towards the city gate, quickly leaving Fenglin City.

She didn’t dare to stay in Fenglin City any longer. In case the people of the Jiang family came to investigate one day and found out about her, she would be in big trouble. As far as she knew, the people of the Jiang family were not as easy to talk to as that Mr. Yang.
