Arrival at Jia Nan Academy

Bo~ (.-_-.) ε)

Please provide the Chinese text you would like me to translate and revise.

"Young Master Lei Qi~"

"I couldn't help myself. It's all because Ying'er is far too charming," Lei Qi said solemnly.

Cao Ying looked deeply aggrieved, her moist lips pouting and a faint mist rising in her eyes. Clearly just a young girl, she nonetheless had an irresistibly pitiful appearance.

"Why don't you want to follow me?" Lei Qi asked. They had spent three days together already and grown much closer.

"I..."

Before she could continue, Lei Qi said, "You're someone who will stay by my side for the rest of your life. I don't want to hear lies from you."

Cao Ying's beautiful eyes flickered. She looked at Lei Qi, and only after a moment did she say, "I don't want to be a maid."

"Why?"

Lei Qi pressed on.

"Maids can be bullied at any time."

Lei Qi immediately said, "You'll be my personal maid. Mm. I can promise you that once we return to the clan, aside from tending to my daily needs, every resource you require will be supplied in the best possible amounts. And I won't let anyone bully you in the slightest."

Cao Ying was slightly stunned upon hearing that.

She understood the value of resources.

After all, she was also a cultivator.

Though she did not know what Lei Qi would provide for her, nor where his clan was located, she could be certain that it would be better than the Cao Clan.

Moreover, Lei Qi's earnest promise made her heart feel warm.

Smack~

But suddenly, Lei Qi took another taste.

Cao Ying covered her face with her little hand, looking at Lei Qi with a shy yet faintly resentful expression.

(·)

He had just said he would not let her be bullied, yet in the blink of an eye...

"I only said I wouldn't allow others to bully you. I never said I couldn't bully you. Come, move your hand. Let this young master have another taste," Lei Qi said without blushing or skipping a beat.

He could state with certainty that he would not do anything to the little girl.

He merely wanted to see whether this small body, carrying such a special soul, could withstand it.

Ying~ (/ω＼)

She was far too seductive. She was still so young, yet she already knew how to stir a person's heart so well. Who could withstand her once she grew up?

Luckily, he had taken in this little enchantress ahead of time. Otherwise, if he encountered her while making a move against the Pill Tower in the future, he was afraid he really would not be able to bring himself to act.

Lei Qi had always been someone who cherished women.

Lei Qi was not some inexperienced virgin. Although he still was in this life, he had been exceptionally experienced in his previous life.

And why was he acting like this now?

Naturally, it was because he had spent seventeen years in the Thunder Clan without even seeing a normal member of the opposite sex!!!

It was not exactly that he had never seen any, but the ones he had seen were all married women.

No matter how flirtatious he was, he could not possibly go around flirting with the wives of stewards who were his uncles and elders, could he?

And when he thought of the maids Lei Ying had arranged for him, his scalp went numb.

During his trip to the Yao Clan, he had become somewhat obsessed merely by looking at a maid. But Lei Qi knew that he was someone of status.

So he had restrained himself fairly well.

Yao Ling was beautiful enough, but compared to the Cao Ying before him, by the time he could have her, who knew how many years would have passed.

Thus, upon seeing Cao Ying, Lei Qi found it somewhat difficult to control himself.

"Young Master, Ying'er feels uncomfortable." Cao Ying lightly furrowed her brows, looking somewhat pained.

For some reason, Lei Qi had recently become fond of pinching her.

She did not even know what mistake she had made.

Hearing Cao Ying's words, Lei Qi withdrew his hand. After taking a light breath, he said, "Go cultivate."

"Mm~"

Watching Cao Ying begin cultivating there, Lei Qi felt somewhat regretful.

Bringing Cao Ying along really was torture!

Yet he was not such a heartless person. He could not leave Cao Ying with a lifetime of trauma just because of his own desires, could he?

Although such things might also bring about some "miracles."

But better safe than sorry. This was his—no, perhaps even the Thunder Clan's—extremely important little alchemy prodigy.

He had to restrain himself and wait for her to grow up a little more.

Seven days later.

Northwestern Continent.

After seven days of long travel, their group finally arrived at the Northwestern Continent.

Once they emerged from the spatial wormhole, they found themselves in Tianya City.

Tianya City was located within a mountain range called Tianqing, ten thousand li away from the Black-Corner Region. As the only city within a thousand li that possessed a spatial wormhole leading to the Central Plains, Tianya City's prosperity was second to none in the surrounding region.

Arriving here meant that Jia Nan Academy was no longer far away.

After reaching this place, because of Mang Tianchi and the others' overwhelmingly powerful Dou Qi, not even the Luo Clan here dared to make any comments.

This world had rules; without rules, there could be no order. But when a sect or great clan that set the rules faced an absolute powerhouse, those rules could become flexible.

Without encountering any obstruction, their group hurried toward Jia Nan Academy.

Since Cao Ying was only a Da Dou Shi, Yang Ji captured a sixth-tier Golden Eagle to serve as their mount for the journey to Jia Nan Academy.

This Golden Eagle should have reached the middle stage of the sixth tier.

Yet even with strength comparable to a Dou Emperor, it still chose to submit and become a mount when facing Yang Ji.

On one hand, it had no right to resist. On the other, every one of these people was terrifyingly powerful.

Just a glance from them made it feel as though it could not breathe.

Thus, it became their mount.

But after becoming a mount, the master of this group actually said that if it obediently submitted and served as transportation for him on the Northwestern Continent, it would receive a Transformation Pill as a reward!

Whether it had been forced or not, it was now extremely willing to carry Lei Qi and the others.

A Transformation Pill!

Obtaining one would mean that it could go much farther.

After all, before Magical Beasts could take human form, their cultivation speed was exceedingly slow.

The world was fair, for Magical Beasts were born with powerful bodies, tough fangs, and sharp claws.

Most importantly, their lifespans far surpassed those of humans by an unknown extent.

No matter how lowly a Magical Beast's bloodline was, as long as it was not killed, it could keep cultivating for ten years, a hundred years, even a thousand years or longer.

Thus, while possessing certain advantages, they naturally also had certain disadvantages.

Without a Transformation Pill, cultivating quickly was almost impossibly difficult. But with one, that speed could be described as advancing a thousand miles in a single day!

With this sixth-tier Golden Eagle leading the way, their speed naturally increased greatly. In about five days, they arrived at Jia Nan Academy.

When they arrived, Mang Tianchi was already waiting there. He had gone ahead first; since Lei Qi wanted the Fallen Heart Flame, he naturally had to ensure that everything was prepared properly.
