In the morning of the second day, Chu Xue brought out the eighteen Cloud Stepping Foals she raised in the stables.
Zong Shou used these few days of free time to fix up the carriage. He added in tens of Grade Three wind element beast crystals as well as a few spiritual formations.
It made the speed faster and the environment within the carriage more comfortable.
Zong Shou's personality was just like that. If he had the ability, he wouldn't be stingy to make his life better.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't find that Windrider Foal. That day at the foot of Blood Valley Demon Corpse Mountain, he did meet two.
Unfortunately, one was broken by him and he didn't dare to ride the other. He wouldn't even touch something that could easily expose his identity.
That person had a full ten Grade Seven Mythic Masters beside him, so the power behind him definitely wasn't weak. Who knew where he came from?
Leisurely looking on from the side, Chu Xue clumsily brought those Cloud Stepping Foals one by one to the front of the carriage and put on the reins.
Only then did Zong Shou slowly walk over. However, before he walked over, he heard a bell-like questioning voice from behind, "Where are you all going? Are you leaving Cloud Saint City? "
Zong Shoxin sighed in his heart. He didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Xuanyuan Yiren. Why did he have to come back at this time, of all times?
Acting like he didn't hear it, Zong Shou continued to walk towards the carriage. Then, he heard the sound of wind as the red shadow flashed beside him. Xuanyuan Yiren was already blocking the carriage door.
Sizing up Zong Shou, the doubt in her eyes grew thicker, "Why are you dressed like that? Why are you learning how to walk like that mechanical puppet? Don't you know that if other people see you, they will laugh at you for being an idiot? You still haven't answered me, are you leaving Cloud Saint City? "
Zong Shou was wearing a wide robe, his body seemed to have doubled in size. However, his small face was still exquisite, looking really weird.
His actions were also really stiff, no different from when the mechanical puppet walked. This was actually a special characteristic of the 'Lightning Travel' spirit bone. Normally, when it walked, it was indeed somewhat mechanical.
His body shook left and right. Seeing that Xuanyuan Yiren had no intention of moving aside, Zong Shou could only helplessly stand still, saying seriously, "Zong Shou is about to leave and return to my Gantian Mountain. Miss Xuanyuan, you have a bright future ahead of you. Why must you follow someone like me, whose life is in danger? I've already prepared the insulation letter. Please go back as soon as possible, Miss. I'm sure Uncle and Auntie have been worried about you for a long time … "
Xuanyuan Yiren's expression did not change at all. She only stared fixedly at Zong Shou's eyes. "These words, Zong Shou, you actually dare to say them? What do you want to do with my reputation and integrity? Have you ever heard that starvation is a small matter, but losing one's chastity is a big matter? "
Chu Xue didn't notice anything strange, but Li Yunniang's eyebrows twitched subconsciously. She had many questions in her heart. What did this have to do with reputation?
Zong Shou also suddenly felt a little guilty. He coughed lightly and decided to change his method. "Even if Miss Xuanyuan wants to marry me, it has to be a proper marriage. Although we are engaged, our parents' orders and matchmakers' words have not been completed. Before we are truly married, how can we travel together? "
He thought to himself that this girl's brain was flooded with water. Why was she so stubborn about loyalty, kindness, and morals? Then, if he used the same rules to deal with her, he would definitely succeed.
As expected, Xuanyuan Yiren hesitated slightly, but a moment later she decisively shook her head. "These are all small matters. You will face dangers along the way. As your fiancee, how can I sit still and do nothing? Actually, in my eyes, it is best if we don't go to Gantian Mountain. Zong Shou, why don't we go out to sea together? If you give up the Monster King position, I can also not bother about the Pill Fountain Sect … "
Zong Shou's mouth was agape. How did she end up talking about eloping? Li Yunniang's expression changed, her brows furrowed and she was really anxious.
Xuanyuan Yiren acted like she didn't see anything, her tone determined. "No matter where you go, I will follow you until you are truly safe."
Zong Shou laughed bitterly. "I, Zong Shou, am an indomitable spirit. Why would I need a girl to protect me? Yesterday in the back courtyard, you should have sensed something. In your eyes, how many people below the Martial Ancestor Realm are my opponents? "
When Li Yunniang heard that, she burst out into laughter. She was just short of saying that he was shameless.
Xuanyuan Yiren's face was filled with doubt. "Sensed what? Are you talking about Uncle Yin? His Knife Rhythm has formed and is close to entering Power. As expected from a famous family. However, if I want to protect you, Uncle Yin will still need some time! "
Zong Shou couldn't help but facepalm. He thought back to how Xuanyuan Yiren was shocked and her breathing was chaotic. She probably couldn't sense what was happening outside.
Shaking his head slightly, Zong Shoxin had a thought. The Black Wave Sword hidden in his sleeves was about to shoot out.
At this moment, no matter what he said, it wasn't as convincing as a spiritual sword that could fly through the air.
However, he suddenly thought about something, and the Black Wave Sword stopped in his sleeves.
Thinking about how stubborn this girl was, even if he used all his strength, would it be of any use? He might end up making a fool of himself.
Before he could think of a reason, Xuanyuan Yiren opened her mouth once more. "Even if there is a day when you have the ability to protect yourself, Zong Shou, don't worry. How can this marriage contract be broken so easily? If you don't want me, then I can only follow your wishes. I will not marry for the rest of my life to preserve my chastity! Oh right, where is Uncle Yin? "
Zong Shou had no choice, walking around Xuanyuan Yiren in annoyance. "What Uncle Yin? He saw that I wasn't having a good time and ran away by himself yesterday! "
Xuanyuan Yiren was shocked, following which her brows furrowed. "I don't believe you! Yin Yang is a loyal person, so why would he betray his master and run away? You are lying! "
Just as she was about to follow behind, she saw Zong Shou, who had already boarded the carriage, looking down with an evil smile. "Miss Xuanyuan wants to travel with me? Zong Shou doesn't mind, but is it convenient for you? "
Sizing up Xuanyuan Yiren, it was like he had just seen her yesterday. That alluring body was still right in front of his eyes.
He remembered that before the Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Technique reached small success, she had to cultivate it once every three days. Moreover, she had to be naked.
If she had clothes that could resist fire, then it was okay. If she didn't, then she could only let him feast his eyes like yesterday.
Xuanyuan Yiren's face instantly flushed red. Scoffing, she turned around and left furiously.
"Sister Yunniang, go find people from Lingyun Sect and borrow a carriage for me!"
Li Yunniang's heart jumped, not coming back to her senses for a long time. She only felt that Xuanyuan Yiren's words were filled with an indescribable shyness.
Zong Shou heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to let this girl get on the carriage as well. Then, he wouldn't have to do anything along the way.

When he entered the city, he was surrounded by people, but when he left, it was a little desolate. When he passed the city gates, he saw Zongling riding a Windrider Foal at the city gates, looking over coldly.
Her eyes were filled with disdain, like she was saying, thirteen days ago, did you think that today would happen? When you chased me, Zongling, away from the city gates, did you think that the one who would be chased out of Cloud Saint City would be you, Zong Shou! Did those words from a few days ago come true?
In the next moment, he saw Zongling gallop forward on the horse, like she was about to gallop over.
Zong Shou decisively rolled down the window and shouted for the horse to speed up. Chu Xue instantly waved her whip, urging the eighteen Cloud Stepping Foals to gallop. Their speed was actually comparable to that of Zongling's Windrider Foal. The latter probably didn't have any intentions of chasing, and in just a moment, she was left far behind.
Zong Shou was too lazy to argue with this person, but in his heart, he still felt really depressed.
He wished that a bunch of assassins would come and use the swords in his sleeves to viciously kill them and stun them.
"Hei! So, I, Zong Shou, am still unable to truly remain calm. Although my heart is as calm as water, it is like the moon in the well. When it meets the wind and sand, there are still ripples. In my chest, I still have the heart of victory, the thoughts of fame and fortune … "
Keeping his emotions, Zong Shou slowly removed all the distracting thoughts, sitting on the soft couch and entering deep thought.
At this moment, if one looked carefully, one would notice that the muscles in his body were trembling at an undetectable rate.
This was the Internal Breathing Leading Technique. Since absorbing the Lightning Phoenix egg, Zong Shou had been using this technique at every moment. It caused the Xiantian essence energy that had accumulated in various parts of his body to solidify. It would be easier for it to merge into his body in the future.
As for Zong Shou's consciousness, it was like a swan flying into the underworld. In the long river of his memories, it started to flow.
In his last life, he had stored half a library, hundreds of thousands of books, in his mind. He had read many secret manuals, many of which were top secret techniques from some large sects ten thousand years ago.
However, a qi cultivation method suitable for his dual meridian body was already really hard to find. Spiral meridians like his were never seen before.
It was even more impossible to find one that was truly suitable for his half-demon body.
"If I want to create my own qi cultivation method, then I can use this Indefinite Spirit Emperor Art as a reference. As for the Lightning Phoenix, it has the Nine Destruction Maniac Lightning Technique in its memory. Although it isn't as good as the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect's secret technique, it is enough to design a basic qi cultivation method below Martial Ancestor. The problem is that I don't know the specialty of my human race bloodline, so this qi cultivation method has to be all-inclusive. Oh right! How could I forget that the Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique mentioned that the essence of all phenomena in the world is the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth. With this as the basis, it might work. Oh? There are people in front … "
Zong Shou was originally deep in thought. The thought from before was like a ray of light in the darkness, surprising him.
However, moments later, wariness appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, he was already fifteen miles out of Cloud Saint City, and there were occasionally some people on the road. However, he didn't pay attention to any of them. Even if it was a Xiantian master, Zong Shou didn't care about him.
The meaning of the words' there are people in front 'meant that there were people who could threaten his life.
Slightly analyzing, the aura of these two people seemed familiar, and they didn't have any killing intent.
"So it is them …"
Zong Shou shook his head, walking to the front of the carriage and ordering Chu Xue to stop the carriage. Following which, he saw a few people quietly waiting by the side of the road.
Sōmorime directly looked at the sixty-year-old man, "Are you Cloud Saint City City Lord Xu Zhengyuan?"
In Donglin Cloud Continent, Gantian Mountain was like a big country, which was why Zong Shou directly called him by his name. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
