Chapter 430: Chapter 268: Heroic Spirit Materializes, I Want to Be a Hero! (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Passes)
Inside the carriage, Duan Yun was seated opposite Shen Ying and Feng Ling’er.
Duan Yun sat on one side while the two women sat on the other; none could sit next to Duan Yun.
Thus, at that moment, Duan Yun’s sides were distinctly separated.
This was their third carriage change. During their trip in the second carriage, Feng Ling’er had already prepared human skin masks for the three.
Being the person most familiar with Jade Guanyin, she insisted that they must not expose their identities, otherwise they would be too vulnerable.
Therefore, by the time they left Yun State, the three had already transformed into completely different individuals.
Now, the Nameless Young Hero had become a rich merchant known as "Guan Qi," and Feng Ling’er and Shen Ying played the roles of his beloved wife and beautiful concubine.
What particularly irked Shen Ying was that Feng Ling’er had given herself the mask of the legitimate wife, appearing dignified and elegant, whereas hers was clearly that of a concubine, somewhat foxy and flirtatious.
Thus, the two women remained in a sulky mood until now, but this was quite reasonable as the charismatic rich merchant Guan Qi was accompanied by two beautiful women, so a little jealousy between them seemed natural.
This time Duan Yun was playing a rich merchant who loved traveling around, naturally fitting the profile.
The carriage was pitch-black, carved with delicate patterns on its ebony body. Even the coachman was a handpicked expert, and she was a young lady wearing a pink gauze dress.
It could only be said that the young lady was not only young and beautiful, but her driving skills were also exceptional.
Along the way, over stone paths, mud roads, mountain paths, and narrow trails, the carriage had traversed all, yet Duan Yun and his companions hardly felt any jolting.
It could only be said that the 700 silver hired carriage and coachman were expensive for a reason.
If it weren’t for Duan Yun already being accompanied by two beauties, this young lady might have offered that kind of service, even feeling regretful for not being able to offer it.
It could only be said that Feng Ling’er was also a bit of a looker, as the rich merchant guise she crafted for Duan Yun was also handsome, strong, and robust. Even in the chilly early spring, he wore his clothes loosely, revealing solid chest muscles.
Such a man, wealthy and handsome, yet also appearing robust, would probably be hard for most women to resist.
Feng Ling’er chose Guan Qi because she knew his ship had encountered a storm two years ago and it was believed he had perished.
This incident was not widely known, and more people thought he was lingering in Fusang, unwilling to return.
It was said that Fusang women were very seductive, taking their meals off unclothed women.
Further, it was rumored that Lin Yuxin, once recognized as the most beautiful woman under the heavens, had gone to sea and given birth to a daughter. Perhaps the most beautiful woman you encounter could have the bloodline of that famed beauty.
Guan Qi was wealthy, loved fun, and roamed around. Planning to travel around Leizhou and even crossing Old Mother Mountain to Jade Guanyin’s territory was quite reasonable.
According to intelligence, behind Thunder Mother Mountain lay a large mysterious swamp and continuous sand dunes, and within those dunes, the Desert Country where Jade Guanyin also held significant influence.
This was also one of the reasons why Duan Yun and his companions needed to hide their identities.
Arriving in Leizhou, for Duan Yun it was revisiting an old place.
By that time, their carriage rolled across the gradually greening prairie, and on a clear day, they could see the distant snow-capped mountains.
It was in those mountains that Duan Yun had destroyed the Thunder God and Mother Sect.
It could be said that the once characteristic figure of Martial World, Thunder Listening Madman, had become a rare species because of him.
Leizhou indeed lived up to its name; when Duan Yun last visited in early winter, winter thunder roared, and now that spring thunder had arrived, thunderclaps were incessant.
Duan Yun decided to revisit Qianxue Town.
That was the terrifying town where human skins were flown like kites.
Since it was on the way, he could recharge there.
Upon arriving in Qianxue Town, however, Duan Yun was distinctly stunned.
If during his last visit, Qianxue Town was only filled with human skins fluttering in the air like kites and the cold snow, this time, it had become a rather bustling small town.
Even before reaching the town, there were carriages entering and exiting.
Some carriages carried relatively valuable timber; others carried medicinal herbs.
And still there were things tethered floating in the air, only they were not human skins, but sword-shaped paper kites.
Upon entering the town, Duan Yun lifted the curtain of the carriage and could not help but mimic the tone of the drowned rich merchant Guan Qi saying, "Damn, this place is quite lively."
Visibly, the previously deserted houses were repaired and inhabited.
The town even had some newly built houses, though they looked somewhat disorganized.
This bustling appearance of Qianxue Town was far from its previous abandoned state with human skins hanging everywhere and no one around.
The formerly dilapidated tavern flag had now been replaced with a new one, transformed into an inn.
Seeing that night was approaching, it seemed unfeasible for Duan Yun to recharge, so they decided to stay here.
Duan Yun then stepped out of the carriage, arm in arm with both women.
Initially, Shen Ying and Feng Ling’er were embarrassed by the pretend intimacy, complaining a bit, but they had long since adapted and now seemed to wish that Duan Yun would take even more liberties.
It truly appeared as though they were vying for his favor, making their performance more realistic.
The moment they entered the inn, Duan Yun froze, captivated by the beautiful proprietress.
Her beauty wasn’t the focus; the important point was that he recognized her.
She was the kind woman he first encountered in Little Lei City, covered in whip marks.
Indeed, the first time Duan Yun saw her, she had told him to hide to avoid being discovered by the Thunder God and Mother Sect.
