He slowly lowered his head, and just when she thought he was going to kiss her, he suddenly reached out and covered her eyes, "Miss Xue, don't look at me like that."
Hmm? How do you look at him?
Xue Huan blinked her long eyelashes, brushing against the palm of his hand, bringing a slight itch.
He withdrew his hand and put his sleeve behind his back, "Nothing, let's go back."
On the way back, Xue Huan felt that he was a little cold towards her. The atmosphere was obviously very good just now, and their relationship was almost about to have a substantial breakthrough!
But he suddenly became like this. Alas, men's hearts are as unpredictable as the sea.
I want to pounce on him, no, I want him to be my boyfriend, but it’s a long way to go!
"My injuries are almost healed. I plan to return to the capital tomorrow. I wonder what Miss Xue's plans are?"
After returning to the inn, Pei Ji turned around and said before entering the house.
"I came out here to gain experience. Anywhere is fine. I heard the capital is very grand and has a lot of delicious food and fun things to do. I wonder if Master Huo would be willing to take me with him?"
After Xue Huan finished speaking, she waited for his answer nervously.
If he doesn't want to... then she can go by herself!
Fortunately, he did not refuse, "Of course."
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, after breakfast, the two men left the city gate and each boarded a flying magic weapon and headed towards the nearest city.
Xue Huan's was naturally a cloud, while Pei Ji's was a sword. The speed of the flying sword was extremely fast, but in order to take care of her, he deliberately slowed down the speed.
She had never ridden a flying sword before. Looking at the sword under his feet, Xue Huan was a little envious. "I want to try the feeling of riding a flying sword. Can you give me a ride?"
Pei Ji looked at her expectant eyes, as if he couldn't bear to refuse, "Okay."
Xue Huan took his outstretched arm, jumped onto his flying sword, and put away her cloud.
"Hold on to me tight." Pei Ji tilted his head and instructed her.
Xue Huan grabbed his clothes by his waist and stood very close to him. "Okay, I'll hold on tight."
Pei Ji activated the flying sword again and flew out with a whoosh.
Xue Huan smelled the scent emanating from him, which was clear and clean, and smelled really good.
However, before she could smell it enough, they arrived at their destination, and Xue Huan felt quite regretful.
However, when she saw the city below, which was more than ten times more majestic and magnificent, her mood instantly turned to shock.
She thought the city she had lived in before was already grand enough, but she didn't expect that it was completely inadequate compared to this provincial capital.
After entering the city, they went straight to the seven-story tower in the center of the city, where the teleportation array was set up.
There was no teleportation array in the city where they originally stayed, only in the provincial capital.
On the way to the tower, Xue Huan was always attracted by those novel things. Pei Ji walked ahead several times only to find that the person had not caught up with him, so he had to turn back.
"The capital is more lively and interesting than here. When we get there, I'll take you out for a stroll, okay?"
There was a hint of indulgence and doting in his tone.
Xue Huan's heart started beating wildly again.
Next, she didn't stop for anything and followed Pei Ji to the tower.
The teleportation array to the imperial capital costs three thousand low-grade spirit stones. For many cultivators, this is not a small amount of money, so only a few wealthy cultivators can afford to take the teleportation array.
Pei Ji paid for both his own and Xue Huan's travel expenses.
Although Xue Huan could afford it, it was still a nice feeling to have someone actively spend money on her.
"Mr. Huo, I have spirit stones..."
"Ms. Xue, I thought we were already friends. Do friends really need to be so calculating? Besides, you didn't even bother to calculate the cost of accommodation and meals. If I really calculate it, after deducting the money for the teleportation array, I still owe you quite a bit."
"Haha, when we get to the imperial capital, I'm going to make my money back from you."
Pei Ji: "No problem."
It costs a lot of spirit stones to activate the teleportation array once. These spirit stones naturally come from the passengers. The wool comes from the sheep, so one trip must carry no less than twenty people at a time to make a profit.
The teleportation array covered an area of about ten square meters. When Xue Huan and Pei Ji entered, there were already quite a few people standing inside.
The arrival of the two attracted a lot of attention. After all, their looks were very outstanding even in the world of immortal cultivation where beauties abounded. What's more, they were traveling together, so the beauty critique they created was doubled.
There was nothing wrong with just looking at it, but one of the eyes was very greasy and evil.
Xue Huan looked over and found a short man with a simple appearance but cloudy eyes. When he saw her looking at him, he narrowed his eyes and licked his lower lips exaggeratedly.
She felt sick and was about to teach the man a lesson if he dared to look at her again, but Pei Ji took action first.
He raised his hand and released a ray of sword energy, which was like a rainbow and quickly flew around the man. In an instant, a scream was heard.
The man covered his eyes, blood seeping from between his fingers.
Pei Ji's eyes were icy, and his tone was indifferent: "I'll forgive you this time, but next time I won't just destroy your eyes."
The short man knew that he was not as strong as the other man, so he didn't dare to say anything harsh and shrank back.
Because Pei Ji's move had a deterrent effect, the others unconsciously moved away from the two of them. Despite this, Pei Ji still turned around to face Xue Huan, separating her from the others.
Xue Huan couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, and she looked up and smiled at him.
At this time, the teleportation array was almost full, and a formation master came over and activated the formation.
Pei Ji said: "If you feel uncomfortable later, you can hold on to me."
Xue Huan didn't understand what he meant at first, but she understood when the teleportation array was fully activated.
The feeling of riding the teleportation array was ten thousand times more bumpy than riding a pirate ship. Xue Huan almost vomited.
Fortunately, Pei Ji supported her in time, otherwise she would have been thrown out.
She felt dizzy and simply leaned on Pei Ji.
He held her with one hand and said, "Just bear with it, it will be here soon."
Indeed, although the riding experience of the teleportation array was not good, the speed was very fast. In just five minutes, they had traveled tens of thousands of miles and arrived in the imperial capital.
Pei Ji helped Xue Huan out of the teleportation array.
Outside the tower, the Chief Secretary of the Prince's Mansion, who had received the news in advance, was already waiting with his men.
A wide carriage pulled by four tall, black horses with dragon horns was parked by the roadside. Several guards in black armor were riding on the horses, like statues, waiting motionlessly.
When he saw Pei Ji appear, the chief official's eyes lit up and he quickly went to greet him, "Your Highness."
When he got closer, he found that his highness was actually holding a girl. He was surprised for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Your Highness, may I know who this girl is?"
"Miss Xue Huan, she saved my life." Pei Ji introduced her.
The Chief Secretary's gaze towards Xue Huan suddenly became much more respectful.
"Your Highness, Miss Xue, please come this way." The Chief Secretary made a gesture of invitation, bent his waist and took half a step back to show the way for the two.
After getting on the carriage and the curtains dropped, Xue Huan glanced at Pei Ji with a half-smile, "Your Highness?"
Although he had known for a long time that Pei Ji had concealed his identity from him, he did not expect that he was actually a member of the royal family.
