Duan Tianyang has always been clean. Even when he came to the desolate Xiguan, he still maintained modern habits and insisted on taking a bath once a day.

I have been dragged on the road by the masked man for the past two days. The sweat and dust on my body are mixed together, emitting an unbearable odor.

He protested loudly to the masked man: "Ugly ghost, I want to take a shower!"

The masked man turned a deaf ear to his request.

Duan Tianyang was not discouraged. He raised his voice and said, "If you don't let me take a shower, I would rather die than take another step tomorrow!"

The masked man didn't seem to care about it. He found a comfortable position and lay down. No matter how Duan Tianyang shouted and yelled, he didn't react at all.

Duan Tianyang's patience seemed endless, and he continued to protest until late at night.

Finally, the masked man couldn't stand the endless noise anymore. He stood up and ignored Duan Tianyang. Instead, he walked farther away, leaned against the tree trunk, and closed his eyes quietly.

Looking at the masked man's indifferent look, Duan Tianyang was so angry that he almost spit fire.

He was exhausted after two sleepless nights. After a while, he fell asleep from exhaustion amidst the intermittent shouting and cursing.

Duan Tianyang slept until noon, and the masked man did not wake him up and let him sleep.

Duan Tianyang was so tired these past two days that his bones were almost falling apart. After this sleep, his spirits finally recovered.

Although the masked man was still dragging him forward, the pain he endured would decrease accordingly as his resistance weakened.

If he dared to curse out loud, the masked man would beat him severely with a rope.

Although he had slept well the night before, he was tied to the tree and had a very uncomfortable sleep.

He felt extremely tired after walking for a while today, and begged the masked man to let him take a rest.

The masked man asked curiously, "In the treasure hunting competition in Xuanhuang City, the princess specifically asked me to eliminate you. I thought you had some outstanding qualities. It turns out that you are only a warrior in the Yuanhua realm. The martial arts you practiced are quite interesting. You were able to break through to the Poxu realm in Xifan country, but now it seems that you are still very weak. You feel tired after walking a few steps."

Duan Tianyang was so angry that he couldn't help but curse, "You sealed my Dantian. I'm no different from an ordinary person now. How can I not be tired? If you have the guts, just unlock my Dantian, you idiot!"

Although he knew that he was no match for the masked man, after two days of getting along with him, he felt that although the masked man had high skills, his brain didn't seem to be very smart.

So, he planned to use provocation to induce him to unlock the seal of his Dantian, and then take the opportunity to escape.

The masked man thought for a moment and refused, "No, if you run away after I unlock your Dantian, I won't be able to explain to the princess."

Duan Tianyang made up a story with a mocking look on his face, "I knew you wouldn't dare. If it weren't for the fact that my cultivation would be reduced by half in the middle of each month, how could you easily control me? After the middle of the month, I will beat you to a pulp!"

Any martial artist with common sense would know that this was an obvious lie.

But the masked man said in surprise: "I see, today is the sixteenth, and the middle of the month is about to pass. Then I have to lock you up with chains."

Duan Tianyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The masked man actually believed such lies meant for children. He couldn't help but wonder if the other party was pretending to be confused on purpose or was really stupid.

After all, he is a martial artist at the Earthly Demon Realm. Anyone who has cultivated to this level is a dragon among men.

But the masked man is an exception. I really don’t know which master he worships!

"You are such an idiot!" Duan Tianyang couldn't help but scold.

"Although I am ugly, I am not stupid. I learn martial arts very quickly." The masked man retorted seriously.

Duan Tianyang found the masked man more and more silly and cute, so he asked, "How fast can you learn martial arts?"

"I practice martial arts for nearly ten hours every day, ever since I was old enough to understand." The masked man seemed to be deep in thought.

When Duan Tianyang heard this, he was shocked.

Is it true that apart from eating and sleeping, the only thing this person does is practice martial arts?

Even Guan Hu, who was known as a martial arts fanatic, was not as obsessed as he was.

"Which sect are you from? You only practice martial arts every day. Don't you feel bored?"

However, the masked man did not seem to care about this. He said: "I don't have a sect, I only have a master. Isn't it the same for everyone? Why should I feel bored? For me, this is just like eating, it is something I have to do every day."

Duan Tianyang frowned when he heard this.

Before he could investigate further, the masked man stood up and said to him, "Have you rested enough? We have to set off quickly. Xuanhuang City is still far away from here, and the princess is still waiting for us."

Duan Tianyang was pulled forward by the masked man again. The two gradually became familiar with each other during the conversation, and the masked man's attitude also improved significantly.

As long as he doesn't make excessive demands, he will try his best to satisfy Duan Tianyang.

Taking this opportunity, Duan Tianyang gradually recovered his physical strength. He believed that as long as the masked man could unlock the seal on his dantian, he would be able to break free from his control.

During this period, Duan Tianyang discovered that the masked man's behavior was very strange.

He sometimes behaved like an ignorant idiot. Once, when he saw a boat in the lake from a distance, he mistook it for some kind of fish, which made Duan Tianyang almost laugh like a pig.

However, he is surprisingly skilled in living in the wild, and always deliberately avoids people, and seems to dislike contact with people.

Whenever Duan Tianyang asked about his true appearance, the masked man's hands would tremble slightly and he would avoid answering.

Duan Tianyang guessed that the masked man must be so ugly that people couldn't bear to look at him directly. Perhaps it was this deep inferiority complex that made him choose to practice martial arts behind closed doors when he was young.

He was quite confused as to where the Yi family found such a freak to protect Ling Ziyan.

After nearly seven or eight days of travel, Duan Tianyang's body has fully recovered. However, when facing the masked man, he always maintained a tired look to reduce the other party's vigilance.

That night, when they came to the river, Duan Tianyang said in a complaining tone: "Hey, ugly ghost, I usually take a bath once a day, and now my whole body stinks terribly, I can't stand it. As the most handsome man in the world, if I go back to Xuanhuang City to see Ling Ziyan like this, she will either die of my stench or be suffocated by me, and you are the culprit."

Since Duan Tianyang had been pretending to be very submissive these days, the masked man hesitated for a moment and did not respond.

Duan Tianyang was afraid of missing the opportunity, so he added: "If you are worried, you can watch from the side. If I dare to escape, with your cultivation level, I will definitely not be able to escape from your grasp. Is this okay?"
