On both sides of the road, there are towering ancient trees with lush branches and leaves. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, creating mottled light and shadows.
"After so much time has passed, the area under the jurisdiction of the Qinglian Holy Land has become more popular than the outside world."
Chen Yang controlled the horse and turned to say to Xue Qing.
Xue Qing nodded slightly, with a hint of smile in her beautiful eyes.
"The Qinglian Holy Land has tens of thousands of disciples, so its jurisdiction is naturally extraordinary."
For a month, the two of them traveled all the way to the southeast, encountering attacks from no less than dozens of waves of immortal cultivators.
Some of these people were independent cultivators, and some came from small sects, but without exception, they were all easily dealt with by Chen Yang.
Chen Yang, who has comprehended hundreds of different sword intents, has a strength that cannot be guessed by common sense.
He could clearly sense the flow of every bit of the vital energy of heaven and earth around him, and could even use this energy to form a powerful sword force.
In front of Chen Yang, those so-called Jindan stage cultivators couldn't even block his sword.
"Speaking of which, we have benefited from the wild beasts in the mountains and forests along the way." Chen Yang said with a smile.
Xue Qing rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this and said angrily, "You, after twenty years of quiet cultivation, you have finally nurtured your temperament, and now your murderous nature has become even stronger."
"The strong prey on the weak; this is the law of survival in the world of immortal cultivation."
Chen Yang said nonchalantly, gently controlling the reins in his hand.
"If it weren't for my strong strength, I would be the one lying on the ground right now."
"But don't worry, I'm much better now than before..."
Xue Qing didn't say anything else, just sighed softly and stretched out her hands to hold Chen Yang's waist.
The two chatted casually as the carriage slowly drove into a prosperous town.
The town is nestled in the mountains and beside the water, with beautiful scenery. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the sounds of hawking and shouting are endless, making it very lively.
Chen Yang stopped the carriage in front of an inn, got out, and stretched out his hand to Xue Qing.
"Let's go. Let's find a place to rest for the night and then head to the Qinglian Holy Land tomorrow."
Xue Qing nodded slightly, placed her slender hand on Chen Yang's palm, and used the force to get off the carriage.
The two walked into the inn side by side, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Chen Yang was dressed in a green shirt, had a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament.
Xue Qing was dressed in white, her skin was whiter than snow, and she was so beautiful that she looked like the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens who had come down to earth. People dared not look at her directly.
"Hey, two distinguished guests, please come in."
Seeing this, a plump proprietress hurriedly came forward, waving the brocade in her hand and smiling.
"I wonder if the two immortals are stopping for a meal or staying in the hotel?"
"Stay in the hotel, two upper rooms."
With a gentle smile, Chen Yang took out a spirit crystal and placed it on the counter.
Looking at the spirit crystal on the table, the proprietress suddenly smiled brightly.
Her eyes were so sharp that she had already looked Chen Yang and Xue Qing up and down the moment he stepped into the inn.
The two people in front of me, the man is extraordinarily handsome, and the woman is stunningly beautiful. The key is that they have extraordinary temperament and are definitely not ordinary people.
Especially that man, although his cultivation level was unfathomable, he did not have an overbearing attitude at all. Instead, he had a kind of warmth that made people feel like spring breeze, which was really rare in the world!
She has run a shop in the small town for decades and has seen quite a few cultivators.
Especially since this town was included in the jurisdiction of the Qinglian Holy Land, self-proclaimed extraordinary cultivators would come here every now and then for various reasons.
But basically, they are all arrogant and would like to carve the name of their arrogant son on their forehead.
Unlike this young man, his every move exudes a reassuring calmness.
The proprietress's heart moved, and her face was filled with an even more enthusiastic smile.
"Sir, it's really unfortunate. The Qinglian Holy Land has been recruiting disciples these past two days, and many seekers of truth have come from all corners of the world."
"The shop isn't very big. Now there's only one upstairs room left. Look..."
She paused deliberately, her eyes moving back and forth between Chen Yang and Xue Qing, the meaning was self-evident.
Chen Yang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
Come to think of it, these two days are indeed the days when the Qinglian Holy Land recruits disciples.
In this case, it is considered lucky to find a room at the foot of the mountain.
If I look for another store now, there might not even be a room available.
He didn't mind living in the same room with Xue Qing.
But... he turned to look at Xue Qing, only to see that her originally fair skin was now stained with a light blush, like a blushing cloud in the sky, which was very beautiful.
"this……"
Chen Yang was about to speak when Xue Qing gently pulled his sleeve.
She lowered her head slightly, with a barely perceptible hint of panic in her tone.
"The situation is special now. Although it's a bit inappropriate, I'm also a little tired... Let's just take this one."
"Alright! Please come upstairs, both of you!"
The proprietress smiled so hard that her eyes almost narrowed into slits, and she enthusiastically asked the waiter to take Chen Yang and Xue Qing to the room upstairs.
The room was small, but elegantly furnished. A carved mahogany bed stood in the center, and above it hung a painting of a beautiful woman. The woman in the painting had a look of affection, as if filled with a hint of anticipation.
"Sir, Madam, hot water will be here soon. Please have a good rest."
The proprietress smiled meaningfully, turned around and left the room, not forgetting to gently close the door before leaving.
Suddenly, only Chen Yang and Xue Qing were left in the room.
Xue Qing turned her back to Chen Yang, her slender shoulders trembling slightly, as if she was trying hard to restrain something.
Seeing this, Chen Yang's originally nervous mood calmed down, and a hint of amusement arose in his heart.
From the time they first met until now, they have experienced many things together.
But this was the first time he had seen Xue Qing in such a posture.
He walked to Xue Qing, gently turned her around, looked into her watery eyes, and an unprecedented evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What? Are you shy?"
"The famous Snow Fairy wouldn't do that, would she?"
"And didn't you bring this up yourself?"
Xue Qing raised her head and met Chen Yang's deep eyes. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
She wanted to open her mouth to refute, but found that her voice became a little hoarse.
"You...what nonsense are you talking about...there are so many people here, don't make a fuss."
"Oh? Really?"
Chen Yang approached Xue Qing relentlessly, his warm breath spraying on her ears, causing her to tremble slightly.
He reached out and gently lifted Xue Qing's chin, forcing her to look at him.
"Then tell me, why is your face so red? Hmm?"
Xue Qing felt a surge of heat rushing to her head, and her whole body felt as if it was being roasted on a fire.
