Chapter 420: Southern Border Capital, Princess of Peacock Mountain
The further the sword flew north, the colder it became. Heavy snow fell, and the sky was dark, like dark clouds dyed with ink. All that could be seen was gray and black, without a single bright color.
"Tell me, how are you going to help her thank me?"
Jiang Ningshuang stared with her watery almond eyes, unaware that her black hair was turned white by the snow, and sighed in her heart.
If she was the same age as Tushan Shiyu, she might also be a master, and she could go to the secret realm with Lu Zhan to see the world, and she wouldn't be stolen by the vixen.
It’s a pity that she is just a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. She has decent talent, but she can’t compare with a monster like Lu Zhan.
Seeing that she couldn't keep up with the cultivation speed and was about to be interfered by the vixen, she felt unhappy no matter how she thought about it.
No wonder people always say that old women have their own advantages, not to mention that the other party is a vixen. I'm afraid she knows more tricks than she has eaten any meals.
Jiang Ningshuang sighed deeply in her heart, and her chest was puffed up with anger.
Lu Zhan smelled the sour smell in the snow and pretended not to know. He said:
"How else can I thank her? Just verbally? She and I are friends, and it's just a small favor to say thank you for a friend. Fairy Jiang is very generous, so I'm sure she won't mind."
"?"
The more Jiang Ningshuang listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Lu Zhan was her man, and now he was helping another woman to thank her. She thought about it over and over again, and always felt like she was just like the victim in the opera.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ningshuang leaned forward and looked at Lu Zhan angrily, straightening her back, looking like she was ready to call him to task:
"You two have made rapid progress in the secret realm, so you can thank her for that. Since our Young Master Lu wants to thank you, you have to be sincere. Verbal thanks are not enough."
"..."
Lu Zhan smiled, raised his hand and pulled Jiang Jiang into his arms, then touched the red brocade belt and said seriously:
"You must have had a hard time carrying her along the way. I'll give you a massage as a token of my gratitude to Fairy Jiang."
Jiang Ningshuang was indeed a bit jealous, but she wasn't a jealous woman. She would just give him a hint and not really give in. She pretended to struggle a few times, but when she couldn't get free, she snuggled into Lu Zhan's arms:
"I won't bother with you this time, but stay away from that vixen. I'm not jealous. After all, she is our competitor. If you get so close to your competitor, aren't you afraid that the chief will suspect you of colluding with the enemy?"
"..."
Lu Zhan pondered for a moment. According to his female boss's personality, if he really had a secret relationship with Tushan Shiyu, he estimated that his female boss would just enjoy the fun and even use it to provoke the King of Qingqiu.
“I think she will be even more excited.” Lu Zhan said confidently.
Jiang Ningshuang's alarm bells were ringing: "No way? I think although Senior Wei has no rules in his actions, he has a strong sense of the overall situation. If you really get involved with Qingqiu's vixen, she will definitely suspect you."
Lu Zhan felt that Jiang Jiang didn't understand female bosses, so he didn't try to explain. He just said:
"Yes, yes, Fairy Ningshuang is right. I will be more careful next time."
Jiang Ningshuang felt so sweet in her heart that she couldn't help but laugh. But after laughing for a moment, she quickly straightened her face and muttered:
"You just say nice things to coax me. If you really have something to do with that vixen, I can't stop you..."
Having said that, her body was very honest. Jiang Ningshuang wrapped her arms around Lu Zhan's waist, her rosy face full of smiles.
Realizing that Lu Zhan's hands were not honest and had already reached down along his waist, Jiang Ningshuang shuddered and said hurriedly:
"Guanqi, you said Ling Jiaoyue and Xiaobai were frozen in the ice. Can they see what we are doing?"
"It's hard to say. I haven't tried it, but their consciousness should be able to sense the changes in the surroundings..."
"?"
Jiang Ningshuang was startled for a moment, and hurriedly held down Lu Zhan's unruly hand, only to find that the belt had been untied and Lu Zhan's palm had already reached in.
The way he undressed was incredibly skillful.
"!"
Jiang Ningshuang's body tensed up, and she felt a little eager to do something when she thought about the happiness she had last night. But no matter what, this was not the place to do things, so she pressed Lu Zhan's hand and said:
"What are you doing... Let's not talk about the possibility that the two of them might notice it. We are still in the sky. Even if you want to do this, you can't do it..."
Lu Zhan did not move his hand any further, but leaned close to Jiang Ningshuang's ear and whispered something.
Jiang Ningshuang's face flushed red, and she hurriedly pushed Lu Zhan away, biting her red lips with her pearly teeth, looking humiliated:
"You...you...even if I spoil you...you can't do this...how can it be on the sword!"
Even if they could set up a barrier so that outsiders couldn't spy on them, they could still see the outside world clearly, and they always felt weird in their hearts.
Jiang Ningshuang's personality is different from Ling Jiaoyue's. She usually indulges Lu Zhan in this kind of thing, but she didn't expect Lu Zhan to be so cunning and even have such thoughts...
Fearing that Lu Zhan might act recklessly, Jiang Ningshuang pointed at the ice behind him and said:
"We agreed to come to Southern Xinjiang together, but Ling Jiaoyue was lazy halfway through, so she is a drag... How about this, you wait for her to wake up and punish her like this..."
Lu Zhan lowered his head and kissed Jiang Ningshuang on her red lips, and whispered:
"She's been like this for a long time."
"!"
Jiang Ningshuang's eyes widened, and she even forgot to hold Lu Zhan down. She never thought that the ice-cold Ling Jiaoyue would indulge Lu Zhan to do this. After a long while, she said:
"when?!"
"When I was in the East Sea..."
Jiang Ningshuang's hands gradually relaxed, feeling incredible. She wanted to surpass Ling Jiaoyue and not fall behind, but looking at the ice and snow around her, she was still a little hesitant and gritted her teeth and said:
"Since she's spoiling you so much, wait for her to wake up and serve you well. She has a cold body and can withstand your torture. If you have any tricks, just use them on her. Don't just make things difficult for me..."
Lu Zhan didn't expect Jiang Jiang to be so smart, so he didn't really use force. He slipped his hand under the hem of his shirt, climbed up two steps, and said:
"Okay, okay, just keep it warm, nothing else."
Jiang Ningshuang didn't use her true Qi to protect herself, so she shrank back subconsciously: "Cold~!"
Lu Zhan pulled out his hand, and a ball of red flames shot out from his palm. When the flames died down, he put his hand in again:
"Isn't it cool now?"
"? Is your Divine Fire Essence used for this?"
"When it comes to cultivation, you need to learn and apply what you have learned..."
……
The wind howled all night, and the sky brightened in the blink of an eye. Standing on the sword and looking out, I saw hazy clouds in the distance and a towering city embedded in the green shade. It was the capital of Southern Xinjiang, Tianguan City.
Lu Zhan held the Geography of Southern Xinjiang in his hand and read the introduction about Tianguan City.
It is said that in the distant ancient times, there was an Emperor in Tianguan City. The Emperor controlled the power of the Sirius star, so this place was named after the Emperor, Tianguan.
Lu Zhan knew very little about the strong men at the level of Emperor Constellation, or rather, the world did not know much about the realm of Emperor Constellation. People only knew that many talents emerged in ancient times, but no one could tell exactly how many strong men had emerged and how many had ascended to the level of Emperor Constellation.
Lu Zhan always felt that there had been a cultural gap during this period.
In other words, once Emperor Su ascends, he will completely cut off his connection with the world of immortal cultivation, so people's understanding of Emperor Su's realm is so rare.
“Tick-tick~”
“Tick-tick~”
At this moment, the sound of wild beasts stepping on the ground came faintly. Lu Zhan's ears twitched slightly, and his spiritual sense spread to the surroundings.
In the forest near the royal capital, a group of people were seen marching in a mighty procession, escorting a luxurious carriage towards the royal capital.
Lu Zhan saw the team from afar, with a somewhat surprised look on his face:
"Ningshuang, come over and take a look. It looks like that's Ji Mengli's team over there."
Jiang Ningshuang was lying lazily on the sword, her face rosy, but there was some resentment in her eyes.
Last night, she and Lu Zhan were walking forward with swords in hand. When Lu Zhan suggested the sword shock, she thought it was too ridiculous and rejected it sternly.
But later, after learning that Ling Jiaoyue had experienced the same feeling, Jiang Ningshuang became more interested and wanted to give it a try. However, since it was something she had already rejected, she was too embarrassed to ask for it, so she placed her hopes on Lu Zhan.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhan was surprisingly a gentleman last night. When he said he was going to warm his hands, he really just warmed his hands and did nothing else.
Jiang Ningshuang was so aroused that she felt itchy inside. Now that it was daybreak, even if she risked everything, she would not be able to seduce Lu Zhan at this time...
Hearing Lu Zhan's words, Jiang Ningshuang stood up with a gloomy look and looked forward reluctantly.
In the mountains and forests not far away, there was a huge procession of carriages and horses, and a luxurious chariot carved with a phoenix was sitting in the middle, surrounded by stars and the moon.
A purple flag was fluttering above the imperial carriage, embroidered with a pattern of red spider lilies, which is the symbol of the Holy Lady of Southern Xinjiang.
Jiang Ningshuang was not interested: "From the looks of it, it is indeed Ji Mengli. She returned to the capital at this time, probably because the palace was bombed. What do you want to do?"
Lu Zhan found a porcelain bottle and took out a snake bone whip made on the black market. He said:
"Mengli and I are old friends, so we always have to say hello when we meet. You use all your strength to fly the sword, and I'll give her some extra ingredients."
As he spoke, Lu Zhan poured the black liquid in the porcelain bottle onto the snake bone whip, then filled it with true Qi and swung the whip forward fiercely.
"Roar--"
A muffled roar was heard, and the wind pattern carved on the snake bone whip shone brightly. A strong wind suddenly blew up and condensed into a huge snake shadow, which swept the black air straight into the imperial carriage.
Jiang Ningshuang was flying the sword with all her strength and was somewhat surprised when she saw this scene:
"What kind of poison is that?"
After Lu Zhan performed one move, he did not seek for more, but poured his true Qi into the flying sword. The sword suddenly flew away for dozens of miles. After it was far away from the imperial carriage behind him, he said:
"The poison I made with the black water beads has never been used."
Jiang Ningshuang looked behind her and saw black smoke billowing from the forest. She was surprised and said:
"No wonder the Black Water Sect has been searching for the Black Water Pearl for so many years and has not given up, even willing to exchange the position of the Hall Master with you. The poison of this pearl is so strong... But Ji Mengli is a saint after all, and she has so many magic weapons, I don't think the poison can kill her."
"I don't intend to poison her to death, but it's good to give her some trouble. Her soul is weak now, and she will be frightened at the slightest thing. We have already arrived in the capital, so naturally we have to confuse her first."
"..."
Jiang Ningshuang nodded as if she understood, bit her lower lip, and said, "Watching chess... Then when we get to the capital, let's find an inn to stay in first?"
"also."
……
"Who is this bastard? Check! Check for me!"
Inside the luxurious carriage, Ji Mengli's soul was hiding in the furnace of heaven and earth, and she was furious.
Last night, the Qingluan Palace was blown up, causing damage to the surrounding area within a few miles and causing many casualties. She was in the furnace of heaven and earth, so although she was not affected, something was wrong with her body.
She originally thought that she would be able to rebuild her body in half a month, but it was interrupted by the explosion last night. She later realized that it had become much more difficult to condense her body.
At the current rate of progress, it will be difficult to rebuild within a year.
A year is enough time for a lot of things to happen.
Ji Mengli gritted her teeth, feeling indescribably angry. After the explosion last night, the imperial guards arrested people from Peacock Mountain and King Yong on the spot, and interrogated them for a long time but got nothing out of them. Those people insisted that they had a grudge against Peacock Mountain and King Yong, and that was why they wanted to frame them.
