A Devoted Maiden Beneath the Immortal Slaying Sword

A Devoted Maiden Beneath the Immortal Slaying Sword

Lu Xueqi looked calm on the surface.

But in truth, she was panicking.

Especially after hearing Ji Changfeng say, "Senior Sister, you smell so nice~"

Feeling his breath behind her.

Lu Xueqi's heart pounded wildly.

A flush slowly crept across her fair, lovely face until her entire cheeks turned soft and pink.

"Senior Sister Lu?"

Ji Changfeng reached out and lightly poked Lu Xueqi's arm.

In an instant.

Lu Xueqi's delicate body suddenly stiffened.

She was particularly unused to physical contact, but for some reason...

She did not seem to dislike it?

"Seventh Senior Brother, wait for us!"

Just then, a shout suddenly came from behind them.

They looked back.

Zhang Xiaofan and Qi Hao were slowly catching up on their Artifacts.

Qi Hao could actually have caught up with Ji Changfeng and the others, but... with his keen eye, it was not hard to tell that there was something unusual between those two. What was the point of catching up?

To be force-fed their lovey-dovey display?

To be honest.

Qi Hao was rather convinced by Ji Changfeng now.

After all, the man's strength was right there.

He had no choice but to be convinced.

Whoosh—

Hearing the shout behind them, Lu Xueqi suddenly slowed her flying sword.

The abrupt stop completely caught Ji Changfeng off guard.

His entire body immediately toppled toward Lu Xueqi.

In the end, he pressed directly against her soft, delicate body...

"!!!" Lu Xueqi froze instantly.

She silently controlled her flying sword without saying a word, not even daring to turn around and look at Ji Changfeng.

"Ptoo, ptoo, ptoo." Ji Changfeng lifted his head from Lu Xueqi's hair and spat out the strands in his mouth, then teased, "Senior Sister Lu, be careful not to let me fall off."

Lu Xueqi did not reply.

Because she did not know what to say.

Standing behind her, Ji Changfeng could vaguely see her flushed cheeks.

Seeing this.

Ji Changfeng could not help but smile.

He had figured it out.

Senior Sister Lu.

She had completely taken his shape already~

Whoosh—

At that moment, Zhang Xiaofan and Qi Hao gradually caught up from behind.

"Junior Brother Ji, are we heading straight to Kongsan Mountain, or should we take a detour and find somewhere to rest first?" Qi Hao asked.

Kongsan Mountain was quite far from Qingyun Mountain.

If they flew there without stopping, it would probably already be completely dark by the time they arrived.

Hearing this, Ji Changfeng casually said, "Let's go to Heyang City and rest for the night first. We'll set off for Kongsan Mountain tomorrow morning."

"Alright." Qi Hao nodded with a smile.

That was what he had been thinking as well.

Heyang City was only a little over three thousand li from Kongsan Mountain. At their speed, half a day would be enough. If they set out early tomorrow morning, they could still reach their destination before dark...

Neither Zhang Xiaofan nor Lu Xueqi had any objections.

One did not understand.

The other...

Was too embarrassed to speak.

The four of them flew on their swords to Heyang City.

As the largest city within a hundred li, Heyang City saw countless ordinary people coming and going. The moment Ji Changfeng and the other three entered the city, they immediately drew the attention of many wanderers of the martial world...

Of course, Lu Xueqi drew the most attention.

After all, her beauty spoke for itself.

In response, Ji Changfeng merely let out a faint trace of Sword Intent.

Whoosh—

The Sword Intent enveloped the area around him and Lu Xueqi.

Anyone who tried to sneak a look would immediately feel the Sword Intent sting their eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Xueqi lightly pursed her lips and quietly moved a little closer to Ji Changfeng.

This caused the two of them to walk very close together.

As though they were stuck to one another.

After entering Heyang City, the group of four arrived at the largest inn in town, the Shanhaiyuan Inn.

The waiter spotted Ji Changfeng and the others from afar and immediately realized that they were no ordinary people, so he hurried over to greet them.

"Honored guests, are you here for a meal or lodging?"

Hearing this, Qi Hao first glanced back at Ji Changfeng. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he stepped forward and said, "Four superior rooms, and bring us some wine and dishes as well."

"Right away!" The waiter smiled and hurriedly gestured for them to enter and sit. "Please find a table first. I'll make the arrangements right away."

Ji Changfeng and the others entered the inn.

Not long after they sat down, the waiter came over carrying plate after plate of food. One platter of freshly stewed fish was particularly eye-catching, giving off an exceptionally rich and fragrant aroma...

As Dazhu Peak's head chef, Zhang Xiaofan immediately became interested upon seeing the dish. He pulled the waiter over to ask, "Waiter, what kind of fish is this? And how was it prepared?"

The waiter smiled. "Honored guest, you truly have a discerning eye. This fish is our Shanhaiyuan Inn's signature dish, Stewed Mei Fish. It is fragrant, tender, and smooth, with a sweet freshness upon entering the mouth. It is famed throughout Heyang City and the surrounding hundred li..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan could no longer hold himself back.

He immediately picked up his chopsticks and started eating first.

He picked up a piece of fish and tasted it.

"Not bad, not bad! The fish is good, and the cooking is even better. The sweetness comes from a little sugar, while ginger slices were added to remove the fishy taste..."

Zhang Xiaofan closed his eyes as he savored it. His status as Dazhu Peak's head chef allowed him to analyze more than half the preparation method for this Stewed Mei Fish.

This sight.

Immediately made the waiter look at him differently.

Even Qi Hao and Lu Xueqi could not help glancing at him.

How was one of the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament's top four contestants.

Also a chef?!

Ji Changfeng smilingly picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and placed it into Lu Xueqi's bowl. "Little Fan is Dazhu Peak's head chef. It's only natural for him to have such skill."

Lu Xueqi looked at the fish in her bowl without saying anything.

But a hint of crimson appeared on her frosty face.

Qi Hao and the others saw it but said nothing.

They simply picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

They had thought this meal would pass peacefully.

But...

Their table had long since drawn the attention of everyone around them.

Especially the speed at which their dishes were served.

Quite a few people nearby had waited for one or two quarters of an hour without receiving any food, yet Ji Changfeng and the others had barely sat down before their dishes arrived?!

This immediately caused some dissatisfaction.

But...

The martial world was like that.

They could tell that Ji Changfeng and the others were not ordinary people.

So they did not dare say much.

Of course.

Just because they did not dare did not mean no one else would.

"Hey! Waiter, we were clearly here first, so why did you serve them before us?"

A crisp voice suddenly rang out.

Ji Changfeng and the others looked over.

At another table sat eight people: six yellow-clad, nameless supporting characters, and two women.

One woman wore a long black dress and a black veil over her face, making it impossible to see her features clearly. However, judging from the snow-white skin exposed beneath the veil, her looks were certainly not poor.

The other was a young girl dressed in pale green robes. She had delicate features and smooth skin, while a trace of mischief flickered in her lively eyes.

In terms of beauty alone, she was not much inferior to Lu Xueqi.
