The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 824 - 455: Missed Opportunity

Hulian Minmin forced a bitter smile, remaining silent. Ning Xiaoxian thought to herself, that handsome young man has a heart like a snake or scorpion, Granny can’t afford to endure him and hates him for ruining her plans. Why be envious?

The three of them chatted for a while and surprisingly hit it off quite well, when Qing Ji stood up and urged, "It’s time to set off."

Rest time was over, and the women had to return to the carriage and continue their journey. It must be said, this bronze cart was extremely smooth when moving, not losing out to Huaxia’s automobiles. But considering the entire path was mountainous, often without a road, even the steadiest cart would bump along. These women had not endured such hardships before, and after two days, many of them looked haggard, including Hulian Minmin.

Ning Xiaoxian, prompted by Changtian, exerted her Divine Power to adjust her complexion to appear slightly pale and sickly, to avoid attracting the attention of those with ill intent.

She was just contemplating how to lure Qing Ji over to her when, unexpectedly, after staring at the two for a moment, he stood up from beside the campfire and strode towards their bronze carriage.

It was at this moment that she remembered Zhongli Hao had already given herself and Hulian Minmin to him; a female slave was essentially her master’s personal property to enjoy as pleased. So, as Qing Ji approached, members of the Beauty Collection Team were already winking behind them, all assuming that the Eldest Young Master of Fengtian Prefecture, who had held back for a day, finally wanted to taste the fresh catch.

The Green Armor Guards quietly closed in, enclosing the large cart in the center.

Qing Ji, this audacious man. Ning Xiaoxian was not angry but rather pleased; after all, it was he who came to find trouble himself, and she couldn’t be blamed. However, beside her, Hulian Minmin’s face turned pale. Raised strictly, she watched as Qing Ji neared her carriage, knowing no good could come from it. Fearing the loss of her purity, she couldn’t help but turn to Ning Xiaoxian with eyes full of pleading.

Hulian Minmin was not foolish and was vaguely aware of her brother’s plan. Seeing that Ning Xiaoxian had still not acted, she knew the situation was delicate, and this group of unexpected figures left the immortal with little assurance. Now, she only hoped that Ning Xiaoxian could quickly think of a way to spare her from a man’s insult.

Ning Xiaoxian gently squeezed her hand, transmitting her voice: "With me here, don’t be afraid."

At this time, Qing Ji stood just two feet behind them. Ning Xiaoxian immediately felt two piercing gazes on her back, hot and intense.

This distance and angle were not suitable for her to launch an attack. She had hoped Qing Ji would stand directly in front of her, so she could strike effectively, but she didn’t know whether this guy was absent-minded or cunning, as he refused to turn his back to her.

The carriage was a sealed space, dealing with him there wouldn’t be too late. As she pondered, she followed Hulian Minmin up the bronze cart, not noticing that Qing Ji, standing behind, swallowed as he stared at her back.

The six-legged giant horse was tall, pulling the bronze carriage, the door set high. The women had to hold onto the handle to climb inside. Ning Xiaoxian couldn’t use her Divine Skills to float up in the open, so she had to place her foot on the shaft and climb up. As she exerted her leg, her shapely, athletic legs were exposed, and the pleated skirt could no longer hide her curves, the movement outlining her pert, perfect hips.

Though it was just a fleeting glimpse, she climbed up, but such a tantalizing feeling was the most alluring. In Qing Ji’s eyes, it was enough to make his palms itch, desiring to grasp, unexpectedly feeling a long-lost sense of tension.

He steadied himself, leaping into the carriage.

The carriage swayed slightly as the giant horse began to move. Once Hulian Minmin was inside, she immediately shrank into the farthest corner, while Ning Xiaoxian slumped onto the seat, inadvertently shielding her.

Qing Ji entered and leaned against the door without approaching, just steadily watching the two women.

The walls of the bronze cart were inlaid with Bright Pearls, their luster faint, but did Qing Ji need light to guide him? His gaze swept back and forth over the pair of beauties, the sparkle in his eyes growing stronger, and finally, he reached out, beckoning Ning Xiaoxian with a crook of his finger: "Come here." His voice was hoarse and deep, clearly stirred by desire.

She remained still.

It wasn’t until he impatiently commanded a second time for her to come over that she reluctantly stood up, almost shuffling step by step over to him.
