Cold sweat beaded on Wen Zhixing’s forehead.
The woman before him smiled charmingly, yet she had appeared soundlessly, without a trace. He had only sensed a waft of fragrance before, by the ti he regained his senses, this curvaceous and graceful woman was standing right in front of him.
A pair of enchanting peach-blossom eyes were fixed on him, crinkling with a smile.
[Her gaze towards you is unreadable.]
[You are brimming with Yang Qi; you can release it.]
Release my foot! A woman shows up, and you imdiately tell to ’release’? Wen Zhixing fud internally. You’re trying to get killed, aren’t you!
At this mont, his heart was pounding in his chest.
This woman’s cultivation level was clearly far superior to his, possibly to the extent that she could kill him instantly.
Is this person a disciple of the Wonderous Palace?
Wen Zhixing’s gaze sharpened as he observed the newcor. She wore a bright red silk dress that accentuated her exquisite figure, her chest sinfully ample, almost comparable to Qiu Yinger’s. Beneath the sowhat short hem, her long, slender legs were fully revealed, her snow-white skin tinged with a blush. This attire, this presentation, those Eyes of Enchantnt... She must be a disciple from the Wonderous Palace!
However, Wen Zhixing had t, at least briefly, most of the disciples from the Wonderous Palace. Yet, he didn’t recognize the woman before him.
Could she be an elder from the Wonderous Palace?
Cold sweat trickled down Wen Zhixing’s forehead. He felt a wave of relief that he had altered his appearance. Otherwise, I would have been in real trouble.
Just then, Liu Qingdai peeked her head out from behind him. After a slight pause, she exclaid in surprise, "Eh, Senior Sister Luqiu?"
Senior Sister Luqiu?
Wen Zhixing was also taken aback by the address. Then it dawned on him: could this provocatively dressed woman be from the Righteous Sun Sect?
"Senior Sister Luqiu, why have you only arrived now?" Liu Qingdai wriggled free and lightly hopped down from Wen Zhixing’s back. She could now manage to walk, albeit unsteadily.
"It’s not that I intended to be late, Little Junior Sister. You simply ran too fast! I’ve only just managed to catch up," Bai Luqiu said with a gentle smile, stepping forward to pat Liu Qingdai’s hair.
The day Liu Qingdai had encountered danger, she had imdiately sent out a distress signal. However, she hadn’t dared to inform Liu Qingxuan. If her father discovered she had sneaked out and subsequently fallen into peril, he would likely never permit her to leave again. It might even implicate Mu Yunqing and lead to her punishnt.
Liu Qingdai hadn’t told Mu Yunqing either, fearing that if Mu Yunqing found out, she too would refuse to take her out on adventures anymore.
Thus, she had reached out to Bai Luqiu, the senior sister she was closest to and usually had the most fun with.
"Senior Sister Luqiu, if you hadn’t co any sooner, I would have been captured by those people from the Wonderous Palace!" Liu Qingdai pouted, clutching Bai Luqiu’s hand in a manner that was part complaint, part coquetry.
"Don’t worry. I took care of those annoying flies along the way," Bai Luqiu replied, her smile radiant, eyes curving with undisguised fondness.
"Senior Sister, you’re truly amazing!" Liu Qingdai’s face instantly lit up with joy.
"Junior Sister, how are your injuries?" Bai Luqiu’s spiritual sense swept over Liu Qingdai, examining her condition.
"They’re fine now. I should be fully recovered after a few more days of rest," Liu Qingdai said, drawing a little closer.
Bai Luqiu nodded, relieved. Her gaze then shifted to Wen Zhixing, a scrutinizing light entering her eyes.
"And who is this?"
In truth, she had spotted Liu Qingdai and Wen Zhixing from a distance. She had deliberately observed them for a while before revealing herself. They seem quite close?
Liu Qingdai imdiately turned to look at Wen Zhixing and said without a second thought, "His na is Wang Shouzhen. He’s a furnace from the Wonderous Palace who managed to escape during the chaos. He also unintentionally saved my life."
After speaking, she shot Wen Zhixing a look ant to reassure him that she had the situation under control. She suddenly recalled Wen Zhixing’s earlier warning: There are people within the Righteous Sun Sect who want to kill . With this in mind, she proactively helped conceal his identity.
A flicker of surprise crossed Wen Zhixing’s eyes. Liu Qingdai had persistently tried to persuade him to join the Righteous Sun Sect. If she were to reveal his true identity now, Bai Luqiu would likely drag him back to the Righteous Sun Sect imdiately.
"A furnace from the Wonderous Palace, you say?" Bai Luqiu paused, a flicker of surprise in her eyes. She appraised him once more, a hint of admiration in her gaze. "It’s quite a feat to have escaped."
Wen Zhixing quickly waved his hands, offering a bashful smile.
"Alright, Junior Sister, you’ve had enough fun. Let’s head back now," Bai Luqiu said, taking Liu Qingdai by the arm.
Liu Qingdai glanced at Wen Zhixing, looking as if she wanted to say sothing, but in the end, she just lowered her head and mumbled, "Oh."
As the two won prepared to depart, Wen Zhixing cupped his fists in a salute. "Farewell, Fairies. May we et again."
"What do you an, ’may we et again’?" Bai Luqiu asked, her tone surprised.
Wen Zhixing was startled. What’s wrong? Isn’t that just a polite farewell?
The next mont, however, a slender white hand grasped his wrist.
"You’re coming with us too," Bai Luqiu declared with a smile.
Wen Zhixing: "?"
Huh? Has my identity been exposed?
Liu Qingdai: "?"
Huh? Has Wen Zhixing’s identity been exposed? I didn’t say anything!
"Junior Brother," Bai Luqiu began, smiling, "I observe that your Primordial Yang Qi is still quite abundant. For a furnace to maintain such vitality, your constitution must be extraordinary. If you join my Righteous Sun Sect, a great future awaits you."
Without waiting for Wen Zhixing to refuse, a seven-colored auspicious cloud materialized beneath her feet, lifting all three of them into the air.
Wen Zhixing was rather speechless. She didn’t even ask if I was willing, just resorted to force. What’s that about?
Seeing this, Liu Qingdai shot Wen Zhixing a look, raising an eyebrow as if to say, "Don’t look at ; this has nothing to do with ." She definitely hadn’t revealed his identity.
"Actually, Senior Sister, I..." Wen Zhixing started to say he didn’t want to go.
However, Bai Luqiu patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Don’t be afraid. There’s no need to feel inferior just because you were a furnace. I have high hopes for you."
Wen Zhixing: "..."
Since things had co to this, Wen Zhixing could only frown and resign himself to the situation. It had all happened too suddenly; for now, he would have to take things as they ca. I even made plans with Wang Shouzhen to et in Five Peak County. Now it looks like I’ll have to stand him up. If worse cos to worst, I’ll just escape after we reach the Righteous Sun Sect.
[Fortune Fragnt discovered. Would you like to spend one month of life-span to randomly acquire it?]
Wen Zhixing looked up, his gaze falling on the Fortune Fragnts visible on both won. Today, he could still acquire three more. He had initially planned to wait, but the sight of a Golden Fortune Fragnt shimring above Bai Luqiu’s head stirred his interest. He already possessed two Golden Fortune Fragnts. If I draw three more, I’ll really be taking off!
"Acquire!"
[White Fortune Fragnt 2, Current White Fortune Fragnts: 2/2.]
[Purple Fortune Fragnt 1, Current Purple Fortune Fragnts: 2/4.]
Three acquisitions in a row.
Although he hadn’t obtained the coveted Golden Fortune Fragnt, securing two White and one Purple was exceptionally lucky. It was also a rare day that he hadn’t drawn any Gray Fortune Fragnts.
[White Fortune Fragnts (2/2) have been collected. Spend one month of life-span to combine them, and you will receive one of the following fortunes:]
[1: Acquire the Visualization Skill: Dragon Soul Refining.]
[2: Acquire 5 Fortune Points.]
[3: Acquire Bai Luqiu’s fortune.]
