Chapter 35 -35 The Young Boy who Leaps into the Sky and the Girl who Slurps Noodles_1

Glug, glug.

Red oil bubbles in the small bronze pot and steam rises, filling the entire cave with a delicious aroma.

A woman with her hair lightly tied up sits beside the pot with a large bowl, heartily slurping noodles. Suddenly, a silver streak of lightning darts into the cave from outside, causing the woman to look up in surprise.

Shock.

This is the scene Chu Liang sees when he enters.

The cave, while not large, is hidden behind a waterfall and reasonably dry. Luminous gems embedded in the walls light the cave, and several air vents make it well-ventilated and bright.

The cave’s interior is simple, with a table on one side bearing a bronze furnace, a small pot of wine, and a few glasses—quite cozy. Beside the table is a white stone bed, topped with soft cushions.

A remarkably beautiful woman sits with one foot on the ground and the other curled up on the bed, one arm wrapped around her knee and holding a bowl while her other hand holds chopsticks with a mouthful of noodles. Her movements freeze as Chu Liang enters, and the noodles hang suspended.

Like the waterfall outside.

Her hair is simply tied behind her, with a few strands framing her perfect side profile, her clear and beautiful eyes like a traditional ink painting. Her skin seems to give off a soft glow, and her cheeks are tinged with a blush, perhaps from the spiciness of her meal.

Judging by her long, swinging legs, she appears to be quite tall, but her figure is balanced and graceful, visible even through her simple white attire. Her posture is elegant and fluid, like a painting of rolling hills.

A woman of otherworldly beauty, even sitting so informally, with noodles hanging from her mouth and a somewhat vacant look in her eyes, remains striking.

Having taken in the scene, Chu Liang, still airborne, leaps together with one of the Baize Cubs.

A leaping boy and a noodle-slurping girl — their first eye contact.

Then.

Thump.

The Baize Cub lands, seemingly excited, carrying Chu Liang to the woman’s side and bounding around her.

Returning to her senses, the woman hastily takes a big slurp of noodles, “Glug, glug —”

She finishes her mouthful, wipes her mouth, and finally turns her head back.

By then, Chu Liang has already quieted the Baize Cub and landed on his feet, standing upright.

The two meet each other’s eyes again, a flash of embarrassment in both.

Only the Baize Cub, seemingly oblivious to human feelings, continues to run in joyful circles nearby, not minding the awkward tension.

“I’m sorry…” Chu Liang is the first to speak. “This Baize Cub suddenly asked me to ride it, and I had no idea it would rush in here and disturb you.”

Indeed, it must be embarrassing. No young woman would want anyone to catch her eating noodles so voraciously, right?

“No worries…” Caught off guard, but seeing Chu Liang so polite, the woman reciprocates the courtesy.

However, when she turns and looks at the Baize Cub, her eyes are visibly embarrassed and slightly angry.

The once-jubilant Baize Cub stiffens under her gaze. With a twitching expression and rapid eye movements, it seems to be mulling over what it did wrong.

Looking at the woman, Chu Liang suddenly asks, “Senior sister, aren’t you Jiang…?”

Among everyone in Shu Mountain, if one mentions unparalleled beauty, the first name that comes to mind is that of Immortal Jiang, also known as Jiang Yuebai.

Chu Liang had once caught a distant glimpse of Jiang Yuebai on Tontian Peak. Her figure and features were identical to the woman before him.

However, Jiang Yuebai’s attitude back then was cold and ethereal, which makes it hard to relate with the noodle-slurping woman now, and he had to take a closer look to realize this.

“No, it’s not!” The woman promptly raises her eyebrows to deny it loudly.

Chu Liang blinks. But I haven’t even said who it is yet…

…

“Why not?”, “That doesn’t make sense!” “That’s not fair!”

In the bushes, Shang Ziliang and his group huddle with puzzled expressions.

Though several days have passed, they still vividly remember the terrible thrashing delivered by the Baize Cub.

They had only taken a few steps on Pagoda Peak when the silver streak of lightning burst out, threw them off their feet, and began mercilessly trampling on them…

It wasn’t until the three of them were on the ground, crying for mercy, that the Baize cubs used each of their horns to knock them all and fling them off Pagoda Peak.

But they had no complaints.

After all, those cubs were descended from the legendary Zhenshan Guardian Divine Beast, the guardian deity of Shu Mountain! And it, the cub, will one day grow into the protector of the Shu Mountain Sect.

However…

You can hit us, but isn’t it out of line if you only hit us?

It took a lot of work to lure Chu Liang here, and then… look at your worthless demeanor?!

Does that seem like a temperamental Zhenshan Guardian Divine Beast to you?

When they saw the Baize cub knock down Chu Liang, the three men’s hearts brimmed with eager anticipation.

Who knew that it would then begin to rub and lick Chu Liang? Every time it licked Chu Liang, Shang Ziliang felt as though it was stepping on his face again.

But let it go…

It even invited Chu Liang to mount it?

This is a Divine Beast!

Riding a Divine Beast has a whole different significance than sitting atop an ordinary mount. Broadly speaking, it could even be interpreted as carrying the destiny of Shu Mountain.

Of course, it’s just a Baize cub and things wouldn’t go so far.

But still, it was hard to accept.

“Sigh…” Shang Ziliang sighed, “What could it be?”

Henchman A pondered for a long time before slowly saying: “Boss, do you think it could be… because he’s handsome?”

After thinking and pondering, that was the only possibility he could come up with.

Slap.

Shang Ziliang smacks him in the face, “So you mean to say he’s more handsome than me?”

“Of course not, it’s just…” Henchman A covered his face and explained, “It might be possible that Baize doesn’t like your type…”

Shang Ziliang, annoyed, looked over at Henchman B: “What’s your take?”

Henchman B scratched his head: “I’m hungry.”

“To hell with you.” Shang Ziliang kicked Henchman B over.

Just as the three men were befuddled, they suddenly felt a shadow pass over them, a large black cloud enveloping the sky above.

“Huh?” Shang Ziliang looked up at the menacing dark cloud looming overhead, a set of chilling scales falling from it.

It seemed like a giant beast was descending.

“How is that even possible? Demons have never dared to set foot here due to the presence of the Demon Suppression Tower at Pagoda Peak.” Shang Ziliang was puzzled.

“Boss, shouldn’t we stop thinking about this for now?” Henchman A suggested, gazing at the approaching black cloud above.

“Then what should we do?” Shang Ziliang asked.

“Take cover, what if we get hit?” Henchman A said.

“Humph, ask it if it dares?” Shang Ziliang sneered, “I challenge any mount from the Shu Mountain Sect to dare land on my head, Shang Ziliang’s head …”

Boom boom——

The trees toppled, the earth shook.

It looked like a huge lizard, about seven or eight zhang long and over two zhang tall. There were terrifying horns on its forehead, long wings on its back, and its scales were thick and gloomy, with strange patterns on them.

It landed heavily on its butt and then, with agility that didn’t match its bulky body, it sprinted off ground, vanishing from sight in moments.

What was left behind was a large crater and all that was left in the pit was the vague shape of a person.

One, two, three…
