A Similar, Familiar Feeling
Xiao Tian did not choose to queue. Instead, he went directly to the family that controlled the wormhole, demonstrated his strength, and then entered the Space Wormhole under their respectful gaze.
If you have the ability, why would you suffer in line? You're not Son of Destiny, and you have a tendency to enjoy masochism.
You don't like it? Then punch me! My fists love your face.
Xiao Tian lay on the Space Ship with a look of utter despair, as if he had lost his soul.
"How boring! Loneliness really is the greatest enemy." Xiao Tian rubbed his temples and said helplessly.
Although most of the time is spent in cultivation, it is still necessary to pay attention to the situation outside at all times.
If you're not careful and Space Storm or rift suddenly appears, it's no joke; who knows where you might be suddenly transported to?
After switching between multiple Space Wormhole, Xiao Tian finally arrived at the closest place to Tianbei City. However, there was no Space Wormhole to Tianbei City, so Xiao Tian had to go there on his own.
Xiao Tian summoned the Amethyst Winged Lion King to travel, while he lay down on it to doze off and recover his energy.
As dusk falls, the setting sun casts its rays.
On a hillside leading to the Tianbei City, a caravan of what appeared to be merchants was parked.
A cold voice came from one of the rather luxurious carriages. "Han Chong, give the order to camp here tonight!"
"Yes, Miss!" replied a middle-aged man of somewhat burly build and a slightly simple-minded demeanor. He then began to direct the group. "Gui Tou, you take your men and prepare to set up camp. Gang Bei, you take your men to fetch clean water to prepare dinner. Tie Ma, you..."
The middle-aged man issued a series of orders, and those whose names were called upon accepted their tasks with smiles, without any objection.
The entire hillside suddenly became lively.
In less than half an hour, white tents appeared on the hillside, and many bonfires were set up.
Everyone was doing their own thing, and the scene was orderly and without any disorder.
Just after all the tents were prepared, a beautiful young woman stepped out of a luxurious carriage.
The girl had willow-leaf eyebrows, snow-white skin, a tall and slender figure, and long, straight legs.
She was dressed in a yew dress, which accentuated her curvaceous figure. However, her only flaw was the slight coldness on her face and the stern look in her beautiful eyes.
He exuded the aura of a peak Half-Step Dou King, appearing ready to break through his cultivation level at any moment.
The young woman stepped down from the carriage, her beautiful eyes slowly sweeping across the camp, and those she looked at showed respect.
Their eyes revealed genuine respect, indicating that this young woman was not as indifferent as she appeared.
Because mere indifference cannot earn the respect and loyalty of subordinates.
The girl sat down in front of a fire, and the others followed suit, taking their seats in front of other fires.
She picked up a small knife and cut slices of meat from the already grilled meat, then ate them slowly and carefully.
The others also started eating, but they seemed to be wolfing it down.
"Those on night watch tonight shouldn't drink alcohol, and the rest of you should drink less, just in case of any unexpected situations." After eating a little, the girl wiped her mouth and hands clean, stood up, and said this casually as she walked towards her private tent.
"Yes, Miss!" The guards stood up instantly and greeted them respectfully.
They had complete faith in their mistress.
It wasn't just her strength and talent, but more so her behavior and style of doing things. In other families, guards were never given a second glance.
However, the young lady treated the guards differently. If someone was killed or seriously injured during a mission, the family would provide a sum of money to their family to ensure their survival.
In other families, a seriously injured person is considered worthless and would be abandoned or even killed.
As for compensation, that's even more impossible.
"My Lord, there seem to be people ahead, it looks like a caravan," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said in a deep voice as he flew high in the sky.
"Ignore it, let's go into the city first," Xiao Tian instructed him.
"Yes!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King continued flying towards Tianbei City.
"Did you hear anything? It sounds like a monster flapping its wings." Han Chong, who was sitting next to the fire, stood up and listened carefully, holding a wine jug in his hand.
At this moment, the woman who had entered the tent also came out, her slender hand holding a long Long Sword, her eyes coldly staring at the distant sky.
In the distance, a small purple dot in the sky gradually grew larger.
"Miss, it seems a flying magical beast is approaching, and it seems to have a very strong aura. I don't know if it's friend or foe," Han Chong said in a deep voice as he approached the girl.
"Everyone be on guard. They might just be passing by, but don't let your guard down," Han Xue coldly instructed.
The others picked up their weapons and surrounded the girl in the center, protecting her safety.
As the purple light drew closer, the caravan members finally saw it clearly.
In the sky, the Amethyst Winged Lion King flew rapidly, its amethyst crystals shimmering under the moonlight.
"Master, those humans seem very nervous," Zi Yao said.
Xiao Tian didn't even open his eyes. "Ignore him, keep moving forward."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King flew over the caravan, and the caravan members felt a powerful sense of oppression, as if the entire sky had pressed down on them. This was the aura unintentionally emitted by the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, watching the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the sky warily.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King flew over their heads without looking at them, its gaze as if it were looking at a group of ants.
Only then did everyone see clearly that lying on the monster was a handsome man who looked like Fallen Immortal.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King gradually flew away from the caravan's heads, heading towards Tianbei City.
Just then, Xiao Tian seemed to sense a somewhat familiar aura and opened his eyes. "Huh!"
"My Lord, is there something you need?" Zi Yao asked upon hearing Xiao Tian's voice.
Xiao Tian did not answer, but turned his head, his eyes seemingly piercing through layers of space to see the caravan from before.
He found the source of the somewhat familiar feeling.
It was a girl who was being protected by a group of guards.
Xiao Tian looked the girl over and when he saw her hair and face, Xiao Tian immediately understood why he felt so familiar.
He thought to himself, "No wonder it felt somewhat familiar."
