Just as Pei Yunxi was surprised that Jing Zhe would suddenly ask such a question, Jing Zhe was also surprised that Pei Yunxi had suddenly become so bold: This was not her style!
But none of that matters. Since you asked, there's nothing I wouldn't dare to answer!
"Fourth Sister isn't pretty!"
"..."
As soon as Pei Yunxi raised her eyebrows, Jing Zhe immediately said, "She's so beautiful! I saw Fourth Sister from afar and almost didn't recognize her. If you weren't my Fourth Sister, I would have thought she was a fairy descended from heaven!"
A fairy descending to earth?
Although he was determined to teach Jing Zhe a lesson, he was almost choked by Jing Zhe's words.
This flattery is so blatant; only someone with such thick skin could pull it off.
"Yes, in my eyes, Fourth Sister is a fairy!"
Jing Zhe thought he had flattered Pei Yunxi so well that she was speechless with gratitude, but little did he expect her to change the subject: "Oh? Is that so? Then if I'm a fairy, what are my second and third sisters? And what about your fifth sister?"
As she spoke, she winked playfully at Jing Zhe.
Good grief... is he digging his own grave?
"There isn't just one fairy in heaven. Fourth Sister is a fairy, but the other sisters are fairies too!"
"Oh? Then even fairies have different levels of beauty—"
Before Pei Yunxi could finish speaking, Jing Zhe immediately shut her up, saying, "Don't ask. The answer is that they're all beautiful, equally gorgeous!"
You little punk, trying to keep trying to trick me?
"..."
Pei Yunxi stared in disbelief, then sighed, shook her head, and a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes.
Her younger brother's verbal skills were unmatched, while she had always been tongue-tied and usually spoke with a sharp tongue, so it was normal that she couldn't win an argument with him.
But... it seems I can't even beat him in a fight now. Thinking about it that way, it was still a good deal to beat him up so many times when we were kids...
...
After speaking, they had to continue their journey.
Jing Zhe thought for a moment and said to Hanhan, "Hanhan, go ride a horse!"
"This carriage..."
Jing Zhe pointed to the narrow path ahead and said, "Look, it's such a narrow path, even without a driver, how could this horse run off course?"
He shook his head sheepishly, seemingly genuinely unable to do it.
"Fourth Sister, come to the car!"
"I... I'll ride a horse instead!"
If it were just Jing Zhe, she wouldn't have reacted this way, but since there was an outsider present, her face quietly flushed red.
"Fourth Sister, Hanhan's hobby is horseback riding. You are a female knight of Kunlun Mirror, can't you show some class and let Hanhan have his fun?"
As he spoke, Jing Zhe kicked Hanhan.
"Um...yes, I just love horseback riding!"
"Oh well!"
Pei Yunxi said somewhat reluctantly, then grabbed her bundle and jumped off the horse.
Hanhan dismounted and mounted his horse, while Jing Zhe reached out his hand.
If it were a classical romance novel, his actions would be understandable. However, Pei Yunxi is a female warrior with explosive combat power who can fly into the sky with a single step, so his reaching out to pull her up seems rather foolish.
But after a moment of hesitation, Pei Yunxi still reached out her hand…
And so, the scene of one sixth-level expert pulling another sixth-level expert into the car was witnessed by Hanhan, who couldn't help but shake his head: "The world of experts, I don't understand..."
Jing Zhe couldn't wait to pull Pei Yunxi into the car. He held her soft, boneless hand and didn't intend to let go. In the end, Pei Yunxi blushed and shook him off.
Jing Zhe didn't take it to heart and laughed, "Fourth Sister, I originally thought we'd have to wait until we went to Kunlun County to start our time together as a couple, but I didn't expect you to be just as impatient as I am!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just...going by the way, who...who is impatient?"
Pei Yunxi rolled her eyes at him and corrected him.
"Yes, yes, I was the one who couldn't wait. Fourth Sister didn't want to at all; it was just on the way!"
"..."
Hearing Jing Zhe say that, Pei Yunxi blushed even more, looking a bit like a guilty thief, easily overthinking whatever she heard.
So she changed the subject and took out a set of clothes made of shiny, light silver thread from her bundle.
"Zhe'er, this is the Mirror-like Robe from our Kunlun Mirror. Ordinary swords and blades cannot pierce it. Wearing it will make you safer!"
Jing Zhe took a look and saw that the "Mirror-like Garment" was woven from fine threads that looked like silver threads. Because it was woven so finely, if you didn't look closely, you would think it was a whole piece of cloth. It was shiny and looked like a mirror.
So she asked, "Fourth Sister, is this 'Mirror-like Robe' just like the Silver-Threaded Robe worn by the Southern Qi army?"
Jing Zhe had previously encountered the Silver Thread Army of Southern Qi. Their bravery and skill in battle were largely due to the enhancement provided by their Silver Thread Armor, which sounds similar to the Mirror Armor.
Pei Yunxi spat dismissively after hearing this, "The Silver Thread Robe is nothing but a counterfeit of ours, how can it compare to the Mirror Robe?"
Then Pei Yunxi told him about the origins of the Rujing Robe and the Yinlu Robe. It turned out that when Qi Gulong was still in Tongtianque, he had become friends with a disciple of Kunlun Mirror and learned the secret of the Rujing Robe. After he defected from Tongtianque to Southern Qi, he copied the design and made the Yinlu Robe.
The two are similar in principle, but many key technologies cannot be learned by Qi Gulong with just a few glances. Therefore, the Silver Thread Robe is at most similar in appearance, but it has not learned the essence of the Mirror Robe.
Even so, it doesn't stop it from being powerful.
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe couldn't help but ask curiously, "So, does that mean Qi Gulong not only offended Tongtianque, but also our Kunlun Mirror?"
Pei Yunxi nodded.
Jing Zhe laughed and said, "Hehe, that's really fate! I killed Qi Gulong, so it's avenging for our Kunlun Mirror!"
"Who's talking to you or us? That's our Kunlun Mirror, and you're not one of our Kunlun Mirror's people!"
Pei Yunxi rolled her eyes at him, exuding charm.
This emboldened Jing Zhe, who then pulled Pei Yunxi's hand back and wouldn't let go no matter how she tried to pull away.
“You are my fourth sister, and you will always be my wife. So, isn’t that Kunlun Mirror our Kunlun Mirror?”
"You're talking nonsense again!"
Pei Yunxi's face flushed red and then turned pale: "I...when did I ever agree to that? Let me tell you, unless you go to Kunlun County—ugh, even if you go to Kunlun County, I might not necessarily agree! If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful I...I'll beat you up!"
After saying that, she added, "Don't think that just because your martial arts are now better than mine, you'll dare to dodge when I hit you."
"No, no, I wouldn't dare..."
Jing Zhe waved his hand with a smile, muttering to himself that he found it somewhat amusing.
"It's not like that now, but it will be in the future, it's just a matter of time..."
Pei Yunxi snapped angrily, "What did you say?"
"Wow, the sun looks so round today!"
"..."
How can you see the sun while sitting in a car?
Pei Yunxi glared at Jing Zhe fiercely and said no more.
