?
Ling Ningzhi’s pretty face was flushed with embarrassnt, she muttered angrily, "What nonsense, why do you, like Chen Mo, enjoy spouting nonsense... Don’t, don’t rub it, you’ve wrinkled poor Daoist’s clothes..."
"By the way, Jinxiu Workshop has released so new styles. I guessed your size and bought a few pieces for you. Daoist, why don’t you try them on?"
Shen Zhixia turned around and ca to the wardrobe, took out several pieces of underwear and handed them to Ling Ningzhi.
Looking at the flimsy fabric, Ling Ningzhi hesitated for a mont but still reached out to take them and turned toward the screen. Soon, rustling sounds ca from behind.
Shen Zhixia’s smile gradually faded as she looked at the painting on the table, silently sighed after a while.
"Brother is such a flirt..."
...
...
The next morning.
Outside the West City Gate, a group of Sky Scale Guard assistant officers were ready to depart.
The personnel had been personally arranged by Chen Mo, all trusted confidants, each one strong in their abilities, and the leader was Qiu Longgang.
Da-da-da—
A burst of rapid hoofbeats sounded.
Chen Mo rode up close, dressed in a black robe with darkly embroidered scale patterns, his posture upright, his brows sharp, and his eyes like a cold pool, exuding a dignified and aloof yet fierce aura.
"Mr. Chen!"
Everyone bowed in salute.
Chen Mo looked at Qiu Longgang and asked, "Everything ready?"
"Yes, sir, ready and waiting to set off anyti!"
Qiu Longgang was full of excitent.
Capturing the Ten Great Demons—what an achievent it would be!
Missing the chance to kill the Blood Demon last ti, finally catching the hot part this ti!
Tiannan State is located in the Southern Domain, bordering Nantu State, not so remote in location, but thousands of miles away from Tiandu City. Riding horses without rest might still take three days.
Not to ntion if the horses can endure it, even the riders’ backsides might not withstand it...
Chen Mo frowned slightly, sowhat regretting not borrowing a flying boat from the Demon Suppression Departnt.
He took out several bottles of alchemy pills and a stack of talismans from his bosom, handed them to Qiu Longgang, "Distribute these, keep the pills for ergencies, attach the Swift Movent Talisman to the horses—it can greatly increase travel speed. Try to reach Golden Sun State before nightfall."
"Yes."
Qiu Longgang responded.
Everyone took the Spirit Pills and talismans, their expressions were slightly surprised.
These are things only the Demon Suppression Departnt has; those arrogant priests naturally wouldn’t cooperate with the Sky Scale Guard; only working under Mr. Chen could they enjoy such privileges...
Chen Mo affixed the Swift Movent Talisman to the horse’s back, and then activated the talisman using True Yuan.
The Crimson Steed raised its front hoofs, neighed once, and shot forward like an arrow, its mane being pulled straight by the strong wind.
The others followed suit.
The Crimson Steed was already extraordinary, and with the talisman boost, its speed drastically increased.
Traveling at this pace, even if stopping midway for rest, they could reach Tiannan State in two days.
As everyone galloped along the official road, Chen Mo vaguely sensed sothing, looked up, and saw a black shadow in the sky trailing far behind.
"This is..."
Chen Mo’s eyebrows slightly raised, he threw the reins to Qiu Longgang, allowing him to lead his horse.
He stepped on the stirrup with both feet, leaped up, his body surged with Thunder Juice, accompanied by a white gust, he flew toward the black shadow like a shooting star.
As the distance closed, it beca clear that this was a luxurious flying boat, its hull crafted from Frost Dawn Wood, engraved with intricate patterns.
Boom!
Chen Mo landed heavily on the deck, the imnse force caused the vessel to dip.
"Easy, don’t break the flying boat later..."
Ling Ningzhi stood at the bow with hands behind her back, her clothes fluttering in the wind, she scolded lightly.
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and said, "I’m leading people to Tiannan State on official business, why is Fairy following ?"
"Would Mr. Chen believe it if I said it’s on my way?"
"What do you think?"
"..."
Ling Ningzhi hesitated for a mont and said, "I know Mr. Chen is going to capture the Blood Demon, this venture may be dangerous, Daoist can’t help but worry."
Seeing Chen Mo’s puzzled expression, she realized the statent sounded ambiguous, hurriedly explained, "Don’t overthink, Daoist promised Zhixia to ensure your safety as much as possible."
"Protect ?"
Chen Mo shook his head with a smile, "With Daoist’s skill, not falling behind is good enough."
Ling Ningzhi wrinkled her elegant nose, unwilling to admit defeat, "Mr. Chen shouldn’t underestimate Daoist, during the last Martial Arts Examination, I didn’t exert my full strength, otherwise wouldn’t lose so easily, besides, with more people, we can look after each other..."
"Alright, I know you’re capable."
"Just as well, I prefer not riding horses, hitching a free ride on the flying boat isn’t bad."
Chen Mo waved his hand, interrupted, stretched lazily, and walked toward the bedroom.
This perfunctory attitude made Ling Ningzhi sowhat resentful, she felt a surge of determination within, must find an opportunity to prove her strength properly!
On halfway, Chen Mo paused, thought of sothing, stopped, and turned to ask, "By the way, are you interested in continuing what we left unfinished last ti?"
∑(O_O;)
Ling Ningzhi stamred, "Con-continue?!"
...
In the bedroom, Chen Mo sat on the bed.
Ling Ningzhi stood sowhat awkwardly at the door, her cheeks blushing, her gaze evasive.
There was a contract binding the two, as long as it’s within the terms, she couldn’t disobey Chen Mo’s orders.
If this person wanted to act recklessly, she might have no choice but to comply...
Suddenly, she felt like a sheep entering a tiger’s den.
Chen Mo said, "Why are you standing there, co and sit."
Ling Ningzhi hesitated, asked, "Where should I sit this ti?"
"..."
Chen Mo patted the bed, "Sit next to ."
"Alright."
Ling Ningzhi cautiously sat beside, her Moon White Daoist Robe tightening, creating a subtle indent in its rounded curve upon pressure.
