"There's no time to lose. The sooner we hurry to the Snow Moon City, the more opportunities there will be. This horse's speed is not fast enough, we can go there in the Wind Riding Carriage!"
As the name implied, the so called Wind Wielding Carriage was pulled by a Spirit Stage Level 2 Vicious Beast, Wind Wielding Horses. The Wind Wielding Horse was light and agile, and its running speed was as fast as the wind. However, its body couldn't withstand any kind of pressure, so it wasn't suitable to be ridden, but could be used to pull a carriage.
In order to not attract attention, Ming Yu did not choose to ride in a carriage in the Royal City. Instead, he spent a whole day and night on the road and arrived at the fast moving relay station in Green Valley Town which was less populated.
It was currently the morning of the second day. There were a lot of commoners waiting on the dirt ground covered with yellow sand at the express station. Ming Yu and Hei Ji were mixed in with them.
Not long after, with a rumbling sound, a huge carriage pulled by eight strong and sturdy Wind Riding Horses stopped at the side of the road.
The carriage was about ten meters long and seven or eight meters wide. It was made of several large pieces of wood. Although the surface of the carriage was stained with brown paint, there were still many places where the paint had fallen off, revealing the dark yellow pieces of broken wood.
In a small place like the Cyan Valley Town, the lack of warriors was already the limit for the third level of Mortality Transcending Stage. Martial power was the basis that determined the prosperity of a region, which was why the economy of the Cyan Valley Town was lagging far behind.
Therefore, it was already impressive that this carriage from Green Valley could run faster than ordinary horses. As for the environment of the carriage, no one cared about it at all.
At this time, a thin, monkey-like coachman, Chang Yang, was sitting leisurely on the carriage counting pieces of dirty Black Jade that were thrown into a sack at the side. He didn't even raise his head as he impatiently urged: "Next, which station should we go to?"
"Snowy Moon Inn." Ming Yu said.
While Ming Yu was speaking, Chang Yang subconsciously looked up and down. He was looking down to continue counting the money, but he seemed to find that... What did it seem to be wrong?
When he looked up again, he saw Hei Ji standing beside Ming Yu. Her skin was snow-white and beautiful like jade. His eyeballs were about to pop out from their sockets. He just stood there blankly and didn't say anything for a few breaths.
Chang Yang finally reacted after a long while.
He looked Ming Yu up and down and realized that Ming Yu's face was young and tender. He had been a coachman for so many years and had encountered so many big and small things. He had walked a path that was even worse than this kid's salt.
"Young lady, please come up first. 500 Black Jade are required to get to the Snowy Moon Inn. You can pay when you are there."
Chang Yang whispered to Hei Ji until Hei Ji hesitantly got into the carriage. Then, he looked at Wu Tie and said, "Stand here for now. You can get on later."
"What do you mean?" Ming Yu asked with a cold smile.
"Who cares what I mean. If you fall in love, why don't you go on with it? This is my carriage. I have the final say; I'm not going to f * ck off." Chang Yang's voice became colder and colder as he glared at Ming Yu.
His idea was very simple. As long as he checked the tickets of the few remaining people, he would be able to get rid of Ming Yu while driving the Wind Riding Carriage.
"Oh? "Then name a price, how much do you think it is? I can get on the carriage." Ming Yu asked calmly. He really didn't want to argue with an ant.
Chang Yang could not help but be amused, this brat was just giving him an excuse to kill people, so he said indifferently: "Five thousand Black Jade."
Originally, even at the price of the relay station, a person would only have 500 Black Jade. Chang Yang directly asked for 10 times the price, not leaving any face for Ming Yu.
He wasn't afraid that Ming Yu would cause trouble, as he had the strength of Mortality Transcending Stage level two and the strength of five lions was not something to be reckoned with!
"Alright."
Ming Yu took out a Elemental Condensation Pill from the Storage Bag and threw it at Chang Yang: "Take it, no need to look for it."
He then opened the door and entered the carriage.
One Elemental Condensation Pill was worth ten thousand Black Jade. Chang Yang originally wanted to kill Ming Yu, but he didn't expect Ming Yu to be so disdainful, even giving him an additional five thousand Black Jade wouldn't hurt at all. This made Chang Yang's expression become even more awkward and ugly.
Heh heh, you think you're amazing just because you have a little money in your family? Wait until we get to Snow Moon City, then I will strip you of all your money and that woman will be mine too!
While thinking, Chang Yang called for the people behind him to pay. Not even ten minutes had passed, and with the sound of a whip, the Wind Wielding Horse galloped forward, rolling up the yellow sand on the ground and the horse carriage officially set off on its journey.
Originally, Ming Yu sat in this remote place and the crowd was in a mess in order to escape the Blood Servant's pursuit. Everything was going according to Ming Yu's plan.
However, after less than an hour on the carriage, Hei Ji finally couldn't sit still anymore.
The reason was simple, she was too eye-catching … Almost all the time, people were sizing her up.
The carriage's space was quite large, but it was crowded with 32 people. Everyone was sitting in a circle outside the carriage, while Ming Yu and Hei Ji were sitting in a corner at the left side.
In this hour, the gentle looking middle-aged man who had a clean and white face would look out of the window at the scenery for no reason. Then, his eyes' inadvertently 'swept across Hei Ji, before naturally looking towards the ceiling, as if he was thinking about something, and going back and forth in endless cycles. It was unknown what philosophy of life he was thinking about.
The simple and honest young guy sitting on the right felt around himself as if he had found his wallet missing. He kept looking at Hei Ji's snow-white legs, certain that the money had fallen there.
As for the dark skinned burly man sitting on Hei Ji's right side, he often fell towards Hei Ji's side because the bumpiness of the carriage often caused him to lose his balance …
"Ming Yu, quickly save me …" Hei Ji whispered in Ming Yu's ear for help.
Hei Ji had already grabbed Ming Yu's arm when she felt the eyes that made her tremble in fear, and the man who was pressing her down step by step.
Hei Ji couldn't wait to pull her whole body into Ming Yu's embrace. Only by staying close to Ming Yu and feeling Ming Yu's warmth would she be able to find a sense of security.
"How?" Ming Yu also whispered into Hei Ji's ear, "I'm not yours, so what if they see me?"
"You … Just say that you are my bodyguard, and they won't dare to look at me. " Hei Ji whispered.
Ming Yu couldn't help but laugh. "Is there such an ambiguous young lady with her arms tied around her guard?" "It seems like we're acting out a drama of a servant and a young miss running away. Interesting.
Hei Ji rolled her eyes at Ming Yu and said, "Tsk, you think you're sister's boyfriend? You wish. "
"Then don't hug me to prevent others from misunderstanding."
After saying that, Ming Yu was about to break away, but Lili held him even tighter. The soft and plump bosom of her chest was pressed tightly against Ming Yu's big arm. She lowered her head and pursed her lips as she said softly, "…" "No."
Ming Yu and Hei Ji whispered like lovers, flirting and joking, making the surrounding people feel thirsty and jealous. However, it was hard for them to say it out loud, so they could only silently eat their dog food that was practically fake.
"Clang!"
However, at this moment, a loud sound came from the front, followed by a scream from the Wind Wielding Horse. The Wind Wielding Horse came to a sudden stop and fell to the ground, but Ming Yu just sat there motionlessly, like a rock, while his left hand held onto Hei Ji.
"What happened?" Many people walked out of the horse carriage and discovered that they were in a lush forest. The weather was currently gloomy, and the forest, which did not have much sunlight, appeared even darker.
Everyone saw that in front of the Wind Rider, there was a huge grayish-brown rock. This was also the reason why the Wind Rider stopped.
Swoosh.
Several figures quickly gathered in front of the grayish brown rock.
The person in the lead was a bald man who had reached the third level of Mortality Transcending Stage. He held a bright, snow-white long blade in his hand, and on the top of his head, there was an extremely sinister scar.
And behind him followed several men who wore plain clothes and had ugly faces. Clearly, they were the subordinates of the leading man.
These people could tell at a glance that it was a bandit. However, how could they suddenly run into a bandit after traveling for so many times?
No one saw that the coachman, Chang Yang, had a pale face and cold sweat was already dripping from his forehead.
Due to his conflict with Ming Yu, Chang Yang was extremely eager to get to Snow Moon City and take the money from Ming Yu. Thus, he chose to take this shortcut.
He had already calculated that the bandits wouldn't be here today. As long as he left quickly, everything would be fine.
With the hope of survival, Chang Yang rushed on his journey like a madman. However, in the end, he still met a bandit.
It could be said that all the people in this carriage were stopped by bandits and were all harmed by Chang Yang!
At that moment, the bald man who was standing in front of them bellowed, "All of you kneel down and take out the money!"
All the commoners who did not have a cultivation level knelt down in fear among the thirty some people, and only those who had a cultivation level of the first and second stage of Mortality Transcending Stage did not yield.
Chang Yang's face was also very ugly, but he suddenly had an idea. He ran in front of the bald man and said in a flattering tone: "Big brother, big brother, good good, this little one really doesn't have any money on me. How can you let this little one go? "This little one will tell you, there's a supreme beauty in our carriage. Is that really so beautiful? Big brother, if you don't mind, why don't you use it to enjoy yourself?"
"Oh?" The bald man became interested when he heard this. "If that little girl can make me feel good, then I'll let you go."
Chang Yang was so happy that he immediately nodded. He turned around and pointed at Hei Ji who was not far away and said, "Didn't you hear what old man said to you? Hurry up and get the hell over here! "
However, Hei Ji stood on the spot without any intention of coming over. Ming Yu stood at the side, looking at Chang Yang indifferently without saying anything.
Chang Yang did not realize that there was already a trace of killing intent in Ming Yu's calm eyes!
However, in the eyes of the other men, Ming Yu's silent demeanor had turned into something akin to a catastrophe that was about to befall them. Despite possessing such a beautiful woman like Hei Ji, this pretentious gigolo hid behind her at such a critical moment.
"I can't stand it anymore." The tanned man looked at Ming Yu in disdain and said as if he was disappointed in him.
Another person stood up and said, "I can't watch this any longer either."
"I can't just ignore this matter!"
A total of three men stepped forward to protect Hei Ji.
