Mo Feng reluctantly nodded in agreement in the end. He couldn’t disobey his master regardless of how much he opposed the operation.
That was life. It never went as one wished!
However, when he stood up, he noticed a familiar figure walking out of the inn diagonally opposite him. It was the boy!
Beside him was a young girl. It was Xia Xiaochong, whom Mo Feng was very familiar with.
It’s so late now, where are they going? Mo Feng was a little puzzled.
“It looks like they are leaving now.” Han Yanque got up, his silvery white mask glowing sinisterly under the dim light of the teahouse.
“You don’t need to do anything so just stay here and wait.” As he spoke, he left the teahouse and quietly followed the pair along the street.
Thud!
Mo Feng slumped back on the chair, looking dejected. Complicated emotions were swirling in his heart. He didn’t know whether he should be happy or sad.
Perhaps, this is the life I have to face.
……
It was very late at night, but the lantern lights were still flickering.
Lin Xun hurried along the street with a heavy heart. He couldn’t help but sigh as he thought back to the calm and peaceful smile on Lin Wenjun’s face.
“Big Brother Lin Xun, wasn’t I right? My master always keeps a promise.” Xia Xiaochong grinned. Her innocent face beamed, which was particularly striking in the middle of the night.
The carefree girl was still completely unaware that she might not be able to see her master again after tonight...
The thought of that happening made Lin Xun’s heart inexplicably ache.
He was an orphan of the Lin Clan who was brought up by Mister Lu, so he knew the pain of being separated from your loved ones more than anyone.
“Xiaochong, let me take you to a fun place, okay?” Lin Xun said warmly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXia Xiaochong stared at Lin Xun suspiciously and scrunched up her small nose. “Big Brother Lin Xun, why are you acting so weird? Did something happen? Are you worried because you touched the tigress’ butt?”
Lin Xun was completely speechless for a second before he raised his hand and knocked on Xia Xiaochong’s forehead. He snapped, “Do you think I would be afraid of her? Hmph, you underestimate me. If we run into her next time, watch how I deal with her, okay?”
Xia Xiaochong chuckled, “Okay, then I’ll wait for you to beat her butt and beat her until she screams!”
Lin Xun laughed.
The two walked side by side along the dimly lit street under the night sky of scattered stars and with a backdrop of rows upon rows of ancient buildings. Along the way, the girl’s pleasant and clear laughter rang like wind chimes.
The young man kept smiling and looking into the distance, but his eyes were as dark and deep as the night.
……
On the periphery of Flame Capital, the vast mountains stretching endlessly resembled dormant beasts in the darkness.
In addition to the Flame Capital and the Fire Spirit Province were many other major cities in the West Infinity World that consisted of vast wild mountains, ancient forests and many unexplored primitive areas.
The old woman had a bad feeling when she saw her young miss standing alone in a daze. She had been standing motionless for over a quarter of an hour.
“Miss, it’s getting late, we should leave soon,” she reminded her.
The maiden in a black dress seemed to not hear her.
Even if she was just standing still, she exuded an ethereal aura with her slender and perfectly curved figure and her fair and soft skin. Her silvery white mask added a mysterious and cold charm to her.
The old woman couldn’t help but worry. Did something happen to Miss in today’s duel? Is that possible?
In the entire West Infinity World, only a handful of people in the young generation were worthy of being her opponent, let alone being able to beat her.
The old woman couldn’t believe that today’s anticlimactic duel would have an impact on the young miss.
Could it be...because of the final blow?
The old woman’s expression changed as she recalled the scene of Lin Xun’s back arching like a dragon and slamming into the young miss’s buttocks.
A surge of bitterness rose in the heart of the girl in the black dress.
The incident had such a huge impact on her that her mind went blank for a moment and she almost fainted.
To her, it was an unforgivable mistake. But worst of all, the blow...was too embarrassing!
Thinking of it, she simmered with anger and almost couldn’t stop herself from turning around and searching for the damn bastard!
How dare he insult me in such an indecent and shameless way under the gazes of everyone? It’s the greatest shame and embarrassment!
After today’s battle, she had searched the entire Flame Capital for Lin Xun like crazy without success. She was reluctant to leave now.
The girl in the black dress uttered ruthlessly, “Don’t let me catch you!”
Then, she took a deep breath and regained her usual composure and self-confidence. The otherworldly fairy seemed to have returned.
“Go and investigate who the boy is. I don’t care how mysterious he is, you must find him for me at all costs!” ordered the girl in the black dress calmly, her voice reverberating in the night like a melody of nature.
“Yes.“ The old woman dared not hesitate to take her order.
She realized that she was truly enraged.
After all, she had never been insulted in such a way ever since she was born. The incident would no doubt affect her reputation if other people found out.
“Be sure to tell me the result of the investigation as soon as possible,” said the girl in the black dress.
Her words chilled the old woman.
In truth, even if the young miss hadn’t issued the order, she would still do the same. It was unbelievable that there was such a dazzling young man in the Fire Spirit Province where a Life Death Stage King didn’t exist.
It was too mysterious that a young man who was a nobody in the Flame Capital was able to compete with the young miss. It was worth investigating his background and origin at all costs.
“Huh?”
The old woman seemed to have sensed something as her expression changed. With a flash, she vanished with the maiden in the black dress.
Within seconds, a team of people silently emerged in the distant mountains, rushing towards Flame Capital under the shroud of night.
Upon a closer look, the team consisted of figures bathed in eerie black flames. They were all sitting astride a terrifyingly huge black horse.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe black horse had iron-pillar-like hooves, scarlet eyes, and a large hill-like body that was circulating with rising black mist. They were like ghost horses from the underworld.
In the center of the team was a tightly guarded black treasure carriage being carried by eight men in black. It was very unusual as it silently navigated through the void. It was as though the ghost king from the underworld was being transported inside.
Everything happened in silence like the legendary night parade of one hundred ghosts!
Anyone who saw the spectacle would be stricken in the heart and tremble with fear.
“Black Nightmare Riders! It’s a team from the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan!”
In the dark, the old woman’s eyes lit up with a divine glow. “And that carriage is the Black Calamity Chariot! One of the great ancestral weapons of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan. It might not be as powerful as a Saint Treasure, but it can still cause boundless terror. Only someone with special status is qualified to sit inside it!”
“The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan...” An imperceptible hint of disgust flickered across the clear star-like eyes of the maiden in a black dress.
To her knowledge, the clan was known for its sinister and bloody killings like a demon clan. The mere mention of the clan could make many cultivators in the world turn pale.
Worst of all, the clan had committed many ruthless atrocities and caused much bloodshed in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, which sparked widespread fury and discontent. Even so, it was near impossible to eradicate them from the roots because of their solid foundation and the fact that their powers spanned across all four worlds of the Ancient Wasteland Domain. Even some of the ancient sects wouldn’t want to get involved with them.
It wasn’t until the Black Nightmare Riders disappeared that the old woman and the maiden in a black dress came out of the darkness. Simultaneously, they turned to look at the Flame Capital.
“The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan is incredibly powerful, and this time they dispatched an influential figure who can mobilize the Black Calamity Chariot. Another unpredictable storm is likely going to sweep the Flame Capital…”
The old woman sighed, “The battle of the great age is about to come, and the world is becoming more and more turbulent. It likely won’t be long before the entire West Infinity World or even the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain turn chaotic, leading to unpredictable disasters and wars.”
“I’m more curious about what brings the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan to Flame Capital this time.”
The maiden’s bright eyes glowed strangely, “In the little Fire Spirit Province, there is a mysterious ancient being lying dormant within the saint array around the Fallen Star Peak. And now the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan has cast their attention here. This is very unusual.”
There is also the despicable, perverted, and shameless bastard. Although his character is extremely bad, I can’t deny that he is a peerless young genius. She added in her heart.
“Miss, we should go.” The old woman saw right through the maiden and knew that she wanted to stay to settle accounts with the youngster.
The maiden was taken aback and only sighed after a long while, “Fine, let’s leave, we will come back one day anyway, and at that time...”
Her clear eyes flashed with terrifying hatred. “...I will end that bastard’s life!”
The old woman chuckled, “Predictably, a person like that young man will participate in the Dao Lantern Festival. Miss, you can get your revenge then.”
The maiden nodded and walked away into the void.
Meanwhile, in a different area that led out of the city, Lin Xun was scanning the dark wilderness as he said to Xia Xiaochong, ”Xiaochong, the road ahead may be a little difficult, you have to be prepared.”
Xia Xiaochong nodded, “Big Brother Lin Xun, I will listen to you. Just don’t kidnap me.”
Lin Xun gnashed his teeth. I...Do I look like the kind of person who abducts innocent girls?!
