The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 788 - 436

With Miluo’s reminder, Ning Xiaoxian carefully sensed her surroundings and also felt that something was amiss. Although she practiced the mental method of Seeing the micro and knowing the macro, she didn’t always keep it active. Now, as she focused, she indeed sensed strange movements beneath the ground. Moreover, with Boze’s Shadow Control Power in her possession, she could also sense abnormalities through the shadows. She and Elder He had already raised their vigilance to the highest level, prepared for whatever underground creature was about to strike a fatal blow.

She had just turned around, attempting to leave hastily because she didn’t want Miluo to claim credit. But who knew that this guy, true to his nature as a fox spirit, had even shrewder tricks up his sleeve than she did.

She rolled her eyes and declared seriously, "Ancient Evil Insects are now rarely seen, congratulations to Mr. Miluo on adding another treasure to your collection!" Her implication being: you’ve already obtained such a rare treasure like the Evil Insect, what other demands could you possibly have?

Miluo’s smile faltered, and he sighed, "You’re truly heartless. Alright, let’s leave it at that." Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly gazed intently at the sky behind her and said in a stern voice, "What is that?!"

Whatever could make the always composed Second Young Master of Fengtian Prefecture change his color so abruptly, what was it? She followed his gaze and turned around, her eyes widening.

In the deep winter season, the sky was vast with scattered clouds, with the occasional eagle gliding past.

Besides that, the expansive sky was empty, with nothing else in sight.

She turned back around in annoyance and muttered, "Such a childish trick..." Suddenly, a magnified handsome face appeared before her, followed by soft thin lips pressing against hers. Startled, her last word "trick" was stifled in her mouth, unable to be spoken.

Miluo had already bent forwards, bringing his head closer. As she turned, she inadvertently presented herself to him. How could he let such an opportunity pass? He seized her lips while she was off guard. Tragically, she was in the midst of speaking, so...

Her mind went blank for a moment, and then she realized Miluo’s lips were soft, warm, and his tongue was quite agile...

Huh? Tongue?

Without hesitation, she slapped him with at least eighty percent of her strength. No matter how profound Miluo’s cultivation was, such a blow would render him a pig-headed figure.

Qi Zai, standing to the side and witnessing the scene, couldn’t help but gasp: it seemed that trouble was brewing.

The fox demon, having successfully stolen a kiss, gracefully leapt back and nimbly avoided Ning Xiaoxian’s incoming slap, as expected witnessing the girl’s face turn fiery red with anger.

However, under such rage, her first reaction wasn’t to draw her sword and stab him, which showed that deep down she still held some fondness for him. A touch of tenderness grew in Miluo’s heart.

He actually dared! She spat disdainfully, her anger making her clench her fists as she rebuked, "You’ve got some nerve!" That saucy fox had dared to slip his tongue into her mouth to stir and teeter, moving swiftly and skillfully, that sensation... ugh, completely different from that with Changtian.

Miluo smacked his lips and suddenly said with a laugh, "Strawberry?" When others did this, it would be nothing short of lecherous, yet when he did it, it came across as charming and a bit mischievous.

Hurling back at him was a dagger flying towards his face. Indeed, she had secretly eaten several strawberries before leaving home that day, and her mouth still retained the fresh scent of the fruit, which he identified right away. She felt so mortified she wished she could catch and beat him up.

Miluo dodged, and stepping back a fair distance, he looked at her intently and said, "Since you won’t give it to me, I had to take it myself. Miss Ning, I am very pleased with this interest. In the future, you can use it to offset your debt; I don’t mind if you owe me more favors." He exaggeratedly bowed and burst into a hearty laugh, then drifted away with his guards following.

How shameless he could be, to snatch away her kiss and leave so brazenly, so confidently. And yet she wasn’t willing to chase after him. Sigh, what could she do if she caught up, kill him with a sword? Her right hand clenched into a fist, then relaxed, and clenched again, repeating several times before she turned around, only to see that the people from Hidden Stream were staring at her, causing her to blush even harder.

In the bright daylight, with Miluo creating such a scene, her embarrassment was through the roof! With a boat full of men from the Heavenly Mansion staring at her with peculiar gazes, she definitely did not want to get on, so she patted Qi Zai and jumped onto a bird’s back to fly away first.

Elder He, having seen many storms in his life, noticed her embarrassment and cleared his throat to draw everyone’s attention, saying in a deep voice, "It’s getting late, isn’t it time to return?"

When the boss spoke, the subordinates obeyed. The men exchanged knowing glances, no longer staring at her.

After boarding the Jade Boat, Elder He frowned as he watched her retreating figure. It was clear to anyone, even the blind, that Lord Changtian had feelings for Ning Xiaoxian, but the Second Young Master of Fengtian Prefecture also seemed extremely interested in her. How should this account be settled? Affairs of the heart are complicated, considering Lord Changtian’s temperament... well, Elder He decides it’s best to feign ignorance, just like the foolish White Bird whose face might as well be emblazoned with "Looking forward to the show," obviously not going to end well.

Alas, insufficient experience, this foolish bird.

Miluo, riding the giant eagle, had also flown far away, the Gang Wind in the high sky gently stirring his silver hair. The warmth and softness of the kiss still seemed to linger on his lips, touching them thoughtfully, he smiled as if pondering something.

The guards who had been with him for a long time knew that their young master was in a good mood. (To be continued.
