The various exquisite jade pendants around his waist must have produced the pleasant sound of them colliding with each other when he was galloping on horseback.
When the academy disciple Chang Tian glanced at it, he felt as if his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer, and his heart pounded wildly.
Ji Xiaoxi is also beautiful, but she has the kind of beauty that comes from a sweet, innocent girl next door—gentle and not at all aggressive.
Having also come from a poor family, he had a certain resistance to this kind of beauty.
On the contrary, the woman opposite him had a more powerful impact on him with her noble temperament and dazzling beauty, making her even more irresistible.
Mei Rou also felt somewhat ashamed of herself, as the other party seemed like a swan in the clouds, while she was just an ordinary ugly duckling on the ground.
Actually, she is considered to be of decent appearance in the industry, and many people have praised her for being beautiful. Although she was amazed by Ji Xiaoxi's beauty before, she was too young and subconsciously treated her as a little sister, so it was difficult to feel the natural competitive spirit between women.
It wasn't until she compared herself to the woman before her that she realized what true beauty was.
"Greetings, Crown Princess." Yan Xiangu bowed slightly.
"Greetings, Master Yan." Bi Linglong hurriedly dismounted to return the greeting. Given Yan Xiangu's status, it wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't greeted her, but she couldn't be ungrateful.
The maid Rong Mo, who was following behind her and panting heavily, also hurriedly dismounted.
Her gaze fell upon the enormous corpse of the war priest beside her, and she couldn't help but turn pale.
"Is she the Crown Princess? No wonder she's so noble and beautiful..." Several young people were somewhat lost in thought.
Ji Dengtu is alright; he prefers someone a bit more mature, and in recent years he seems to have developed a fondness for fictional characters in books. He doesn't know if it's because Zu Xiaozi's stories are too well-written or what, but he's dreamed about Teacher Bai several times at night.
"Is there something important that the Crown Princess is in such a hurry to get going?" Yan Xiangu asked with some concern. "There may still be dangers ahead at Tongluo Mountain. Perhaps the Crown Princess should not continue onward."
"Thank you, Master Yan. I sensed a terrifying battle fluctuation here, so I came to check the situation." Bi Linglong glanced at Zu An without leaving a trace, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he did not seem to be injured.
Yan Xiangu pointed to the corpse of the war priest beside him: "This monster just invaded, and the high priest fought a great battle with it. The high priest and the crown princess should talk about the details. High priest, we'll go ahead and wait for you."
“Okay.” Zu’an was naturally more than happy to agree.
Bi Linglong's lips also curled up slightly. How come she didn't know that Master Yan was so understanding before?
Soon Yan Xiangu left with the others. As Ji Xiaoxi left, she looked at Zu An with reluctance. After a long separation, she didn't really want to part with her brother Zu so soon, but he had important matters to discuss, so she couldn't object.
At the same time, he secretly admired the Crown Princess's beauty.
...
After they had walked away, Bi Linglong let out a soft moan and threw herself into Zu An's arms, hugging him tightly.
Seeing this, Rong Mo couldn't help but rub his forehead. Miss is becoming more and more reckless these days.
However, she disregarded her duty and hurriedly led her horse to a safe distance, cautiously watching her surroundings to prevent anyone from getting close and witnessing the scene.
Holding the slender body in his arms, Zu An couldn't help but smile: "I'm fine. With my current cultivation level, it would be difficult for me to get injured."
"I just want to hug you like this," Bi Linglong said in a muffled voice, her face buried in his chest.
"What's wrong?" Zu An felt the other person's jade-like arms tightly hugging him, as if afraid that he would suddenly run away.
"It's nothing, let me hold you for a while." Bi Linglong's voice trembled slightly, and she stopped talking.
Zuan was taken aback, and then hugged her tightly.
After a long while, Bi Linglong finally stood up slightly, looking a little embarrassed, as if she was trying to hide something. She changed the subject and said, "Where did that monster come from? How could it be so powerful? Back in the capital, everyone said it was a battle between Earth Immortals."
"Sigh, an invading species from another world..." Zuan sighed and briefly recounted what had happened here. Given her status, someone would soon pass on information about this place to her.
"What?" Bi Linglong's expression changed slightly. She never expected such a thing to happen. Her long-peaceful life was probably about to change.
"There's no need to worry too much. As long as we take precautions, it won't be easy for those monsters to get here," Zuan reassured him.
“I’m so useless. Every time something happens, I can’t get here right away. It’s always the Empress who appears by your side first.” Bi Linglong bit her lip, her tone filled with self-pity.
In fact, she was a genius girl since childhood, and her cultivation level was considered excellent compared to her peers. However, now that she is surrounded by a prodigy like Zu An and other top experts from the previous generation, she is no match for them.
Zu An chuckled, surprised that she cared more about this. He then took out a brocade box from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "This is for you."
“What is this?” Bi Linglong asked, startled.
"The Marrow Cleansing Pill can raise your cultivation aptitude to another level, making your cultivation faster," Zu An explained. They had met at the mountaintop hut in the academy, and their passion was intense, but the Empress arrived midway and interrupted them, so there wasn't time to give her the pill.
Bi Linglong hesitated and said, "Auntie, you may not know, but the aptitude I was tested for in the academy was already among the best. I was raised with all kinds of elixirs and medicines since I was a child. I'm afraid this pill will not have any effect on me."
Zuan shook his head: "No, this Marrow Cleansing Pill is useful. Even if your previous aptitude was Grade A, it can still raise it to the next level."
"Ah, there are such amazing things in the world." Bi Linglong was somewhat shocked.
"Of course, otherwise why would I, at such a young age, cultivate so quickly?" Zu An laughed.
In that instant, Bi Linglong finally realized what secret the other person had shared with her, and her vision blurred for a moment.
Overwhelmed with excitement, she threw herself into his arms again, standing on tiptoe to give him a sweet kiss.
Zuan was taken aback, but quickly put his arm around her slender waist and responded enthusiastically.
Seeing this from a distance, Rong Mo could only turn around and snort softly, "The stench of love."
The two kissed passionately for a long time before Bi Linglong reluctantly parted, her eyes filled with tender affection, as if she had made a decision:
"Azu, no matter what happens in the future, I will always stand by your side!"
Zuan couldn't help but smile and gently pinched her smooth cheek: "Silly girl, you've always been on my side."
Bi Linglong pursed her lips and shook her head, but did not explain.
Dude, you don't understand what I mean at all...
