245: Xiaolong looking for his mother

“Great, I’m lost.”

This was Wang Feng’s first thought; he found that girl’s brain was truly a bit stupid, a very pure kind of stupidity.

Unlike Leng Ningyue, who was a fool, she belonged to that purely stupid type, and she wasn't a real college student.

“Lost?”

Seeing her still busy flattering and hurrying while muttering, Wang Feng asked faintly.

The figure in front stiffened upon hearing him, even subtly shifted twice, moving a little further away from Wang Feng.

“What are you afraid of?”

Wang Feng thought of her audacious behavior yesterday, which didn’t match her current actions.

“No, no, my butt is just a little itchy.”

“I just haven’t found the route yet, it shouldn’t count as… lost.”

Lu Qingyao quickly waved her hands, even pretending to rub her butt twice, then answered Wang Feng’s question.

“Alright then, I’m leaving. You can take your time finding the route by yourself.”

Wang Feng looked at her silly appearance, got up, and prepared to leave, but she immediately grabbed his sleeve.

“Brother! Don’t go! Please, I beg you!”

Lu Qingyao looked up at him with teary eyes.

Just thinking about yesterday’s scene made her shiver, and she even began to fear that if she accidentally angered Wang Feng, she would be killed.

But fear was one thing; if Wang Feng left now, her life-saving charm would be gone, and she would truly die here.

Wang Feng shrugged his shoulder, shaking off her hand, and resolutely got off the carriage.

The young girl immediately started crying, but dared not make a sound.

She could only tightly purse her lips, sitting in the carriage, tears streaming down as she looked at Wang Feng with pleading eyes.

Tears slid from the corners of her eyes to her chin, then dripped onto the carriage.

“Alright, alright, pull yourself together!”

Wang Feng was a bit annoyed, but seeing her like this, his heart softened.

In fact, he didn’t truly intend to leave when he got off the carriage; he was just planning to take her flying into the sky and directly fly over.

A moment later, Wang Feng ignored the young girl beside him, who was crying tears of joy and secretly delighted.

He untied the ropes connecting the carriage and the horses and stored them in the storage ring Jiang Hanxi gave him on his ring finger.

Then, under the terrified gazes of Lu Qingyao and the horses, two streams of spiritual energy lifted them up into mid-air.

Wang Feng crouched slightly, bent his knees, and then shouted loudly: “Take off!!”

Boom!!

A large pit appeared on the ground, accompanied by a startled scream and a moo!! sound.

Wang Feng turned his head to look, intending to ask her which direction Jinming City was in, but after a closer look.

Not only were the horses dizzy, spitting white foam in mid-air, but the young girl had also fainted.

No matter how Wang Feng controlled the spiritual energy to shake her in the air, she still didn’t wake up.

Finally, he had no choice but to use one thousand source points to ask the system to detect Jinming City’s location. This time, the system didn’t scam him out of his source points.

Upon flying to the city gate, Wang Feng used spiritual energy to support Lu Qingyao and the horses, setting them on the ground, and then pinched her nose.

A moment later…

Lu Qingyao’s face grew redder and redder; she suddenly jolted awake, slapped Wang Feng’s hand away, and took a huge breath before recovering.

“I’m leaving. The horses and carriage are over there.”

Wang Feng said, placing the carriage on the ground, and securely re-tying the ropes of the foamy-mouthed horses and carriage.

Then, he no longer paid attention to the gasping young girl beside him, turned, and walked towards the city gate, slightly releasing some of his cultivation.

Wang Feng surveyed the area; this was just a small city, likely with very few cultivators.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were already drenched in sweat; how would they dare to stop him? They didn’t even dare to look at him, allowing him to enter the city freely.

After entering the city, Wang Feng walked idly along the city road, listening to the shouts around him, and he missed Jiang Hanxi again.

Candied hawthorns, osmanthus cakes, big chicken legs, and also big thighs.

He still vaguely remembered the scene when he went to release the little dragon, and Jiang Hanxi stood frozen in the street, wearing a white veiled hat.

At that time, she was the one most afraid of him running away, and now she was the one telling him to leave. Truly, things are unpredictable, alas~.

Wang Feng sighed helplessly in his heart, casually bought two skewers of candied hawthorns from a street vendor, and ate them as he walked.

“Ding, since the host feels idle, why not look for Human Soul clues? If the Human Soul merges with that dual soul, you won’t have to fear Blood Demon Great Emperor Fang Tian destroying the world; the Demon Immortal can solve it with a single slap.”

Listening to the system’s words in his mind, Wang Feng suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion.

What is the purpose of living? This truly is a profound question.

He ignored the system; anyway, there was no penalty for not completing the mission. Looking at the sky as it gradually darkened, Wang Feng simply found an inn and settled down for the night.

…

Deep within the largest of dozens of rapidly flying giant airships.

In a room, Jiang Hanxi was sitting cross-legged cultivating, but the more she cultivated, the more agitated she became. Her heart felt heavy and Stuffy, always feeling very unaccustomed to her current environment.

Or rather… she was very unaccustomed to an environment without Wang Feng by her side.

“Hoo~”

Slightly exhaling, the vexed Jiang Hanxi re-entered meditation, forcing herself to stop thinking about Wang Feng.

This person would be forgotten sooner or later; it was impossible for her to struggle with cultivation for his sake for the rest of her life.

But the more she tried not to forget, the more something vaguely seemed to be working against her.

Jiang Hanxi suddenly felt a voice transmit from within her Divine Sea, startling her recently settled consciousness back to life.

[Mom… Mommy!]

Listening to that familiar voice, Jiang Hanxi’s consciousness was momentarily stunned, but in an instant, she plunged her consciousness into the Divine Sea Space.

[Mommy….]

The little dragon inside the emperor corpse seemed to sense her arrival, its adorable, childish voice joyfully calling out “Mommy.”

“Little… Dragon?”

Jiang Hanxi’s consciousness-person looked at the emperor corpse, gently frowning. She didn’t understand why the little dragon could call out to her.

Logically speaking, if Jiang Hanxi didn’t control the emperor corpse’s body, she shouldn’t be able to hear the little dragon’s call.

But now she not only heard it, but it was also very clear, as if the little dragon was speaking directly in her mind at this moment.

[Mommy….]

The little dragon kept calling, calling for a long time, but its mommy didn’t let it out.

Clearly, Jiang Hanxi’s consciousness-person didn’t understand what it wanted to do, just standing there foolishly.

“You want… to come out?”

Jiang Hanxi listened to the little dragon’s calls for a long time before gradually understanding its meaning, but she hesitated mid-sentence.

Because allowing someone else’s consciousness to enter one’s Divine Sea Space was very unsafe.

Once something happened, the entire soul would be affected, possibly even damaged.

[Yes… yes!]

The adorable, childish voice from inside the emperor corpse kept repeating “yes,” clearly, the little dragon had learned another word: [yes].

The consciousness-person Jiang Hanxi hesitated for a moment, then gently uncovered the clothing on the emperor corpse’s chest, and with a thought.

…

“Ding, emperor corpse return progress: 60%”

???

Wang Feng suddenly sat up from the bed, listening to the voice in his mind in disbelief, his eyes wide with shock.
