"I never expected that you could persuade Ji Kun."
Liu Huaqiang was clearly surprised when he saw Qiao Suinian.
When Ji Kun approached him yesterday asking for his help, he was somewhat curious why Ji Kun, with his strength and background, would need his assistance. But after seeing Qiao Suinian, everything made sense.
He never expected that Qiao Suinian would have a connection with Ji Kun.
"There's nothing I can do, Brother Huaqiang. I can't ask you myself, so I'll have to ask someone else," Qiao Suinian replied with a smile.
"Let's skip the formalities. I owe Ji Kun a favor. If he asks, I will do my best to help you." Liu Huaqiang waved his hand. He only wanted to repay the favor and did not want to have much interaction with Qiao Suinian.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Ji Kun sat cross-legged on the back of a tortoise-like alien creature. This was an Earthshaker, which Qiao Suinian had seen the Tiger Army ride before. However, Ji Kun's Earthshaker was significantly smaller, but it was certainly enough for traveling.
"Wait a little longer, there are two more people." Qiao Suinian looked not far away and saw Liu Haizhu still wearing the same old outfit, straw hat, rubber shoes, and capri pants, walking towards them, with sunflower seeds still in his mouth.
“A professional mage, Liu Haizhu.” Liu Huaqiang narrowed his eyes, clearly somewhat wary of Liu Haizhu.
"Wow, so many people! This is quite a lively place." Liu Haizhu was also a little surprised. Wang Yuan arrived shortly after him, but Wang Yuan was very quiet and hardly spoke, just puffing on his cigarette.
"Alright, everyone's here, let's go!"
Qiao Suinian jumped onto the Earthquake. He brought very few people with him on this trip, only Jiang Ping, Han Yueling, and Bei Daiku. He didn't bring anyone else. He knew very well that even if Feng Zhizhao and the others came to the Holy Lake, they would hardly be of any help and would be in danger. It would be better to stay in Kyoto and develop properly.
Once everyone was gathered, the Earthquake Man started running wildly. Despite its tortoise-like appearance, it was incredibly fast when it ran, causing the earth to shake.
"Where can we find the King of Zhenxi?" Ji Kun asked calmly.
"Once you leave Beihe City, just head straight southwest," Qiao Suinian said.
He had just spoken with Bedaiku. Ding Zheng was afraid of the corpse poison recurring, so he didn't dare to fight so many corpse ghosts. He had been driven to a place several kilometers away from that town. As long as they went straight to the southwest, they would be able to meet Ding Zheng.
With Ji Kun in charge, the city's garrison couldn't stop them at all. They would open the gates and let them pass as soon as they saw Ji Kun's earthquake-prone creature from afar.
After leaving Beihe City, the Earthquake Man accelerated even further, running wildly across the land, each step causing the ground to tremble.
"Are you really going to save that Prince of Zhenxi?"
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Han Yueling tugged at Qiao Suinian's arm and asked with some doubt. In her impression, Qiao Suinian was clearly the kind of person who wouldn't act without a clear benefit, so why would he go to such great lengths to save someone?
"Of course, if the King of Zhenxi dies, it will be a serious loss for all mankind, and I certainly cannot sit idly by," Qiao Suinian said righteously.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Han Yueling rolled her eyes. "Others may not know you, but I know you better than anyone else!"
"Oh? You know me? How do you know me?" Qiao Suinian raised the corner of her mouth, and her hands began to wander.
Han Yueling froze instantly and quickly grabbed Qiao Suinian's hand, since Ji Kun and the others were still sitting not far away.
"What are you doing! Do you want to die!" Han Yueling gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Qiao Suinian.
She suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for the time when she first met Qiao Suinian, when everyone was a bit reserved and sincere. She wondered when this guy had gone astray.
"What? Don't you like it?"
Qiao Suinian did not stop, but instead slowly approached Han Yueling's delicate little ear and whispered.
"Anyway, as I said when I came, you and Jiang Ping only need to help open the door. Once the door is open, you should leave and not linger there. Once the door is open, that place is more dangerous than the Netherworld."
"You're doing it again!" Han Yueling glared angrily at Qiao Suinian. This guy always does the same thing; whenever there's something dangerous, he goes off on his own to take risks.
"Could it be that you can help me?" Qiao Suinian asked with a smile.
Han Yueling remained silent and did not speak again.
She also realized that her strength had improved too slowly. Before, she could stand on her own in Jinghai City, but after coming to Kyoto, Qiao Suinian's strength had fallen behind her at an incredible speed.
Rather than saying that her strength improved too slowly, it would be more accurate to say that Qiao Suinian's strength improved too quickly.
"Then you must come back safely." Han Yueling looked up at Qiao Suinian with her beautiful eyes, her face slightly flushed, and then said softly, "If you come back safely, that thing you mentioned last time... I can give it a try."
Towards the end, Han Yueling was so shy that her voice was barely audible.
"Um?!"
Qiao Suinian's eyes lit up. Last time, after he brought up the idea, Han Yueling called him a pervert several times. But this time, he actually agreed by chance.
For some reason, he suddenly felt 20% more confident about this trip to the sacred lake in Tianshan.
It's like you're driving to see your girlfriend, and she suddenly tells you that she's wearing a full set of black stockings and has bought ice cubes, jelly, and popping candy. Wouldn't you step on the gas?
The rest of the journey was uneventful. After all, their group's strength was terrifying. Occasionally, a few foolish alien races dared to approach, but they were all killed by Ji Kun with a single sword strike, without any chance to fight back.
