34: Chapter 34 The Princess of Lanzhou

"Second Sister!?"

When Qin Wenhua saw the woman, a look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on his face.

The Cultivators beside Qin Wenhua felt their hearts tighten and hurriedly bowed, "Greetings, Your Highness the County Princess!"

"Is she the County Princess of the Lanzhou Prince's Mansion, Qin Miaoyi?"

Ji Taichang sized her up curiously, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "She's truly beautiful... I just wonder if she's a widow."

Qin Miaoyi's beautiful eyes fell upon Qin Wenhua, and she frowned. "Seventh Brother, what are you doing here with these people? There are many Yao Beasts inside; this is no place for you."

"Don't be angry, Second Sister. I'm not here to seek death; I have a fierce expert helping me!"

With a smile on his face, Qin Wenhua rubbed his hands together and walked over to Qin Miaoyi's side.

It was clear the two had a good relationship.

"Fierce expert?"

"Do you mean him?"

Qin Miaoyi raised a willow-leaf brow and looked toward Ji Taichang.

It was simply because Ji Taichang stood out from the crowd.

The Cultivators beside Qin Wenhua all had their heads bowed, respectfully greeting Qin Miaoyi.

Only Ji Taichang showed no fear or trace of reverence. Far from bowing, he was staring at Qin Miaoyi with great interest!

As a transmigrator from Earth, Ji Taichang naturally lacked any awe for imperial power or nobility!

"Ah, yes, exactly."

"Second Sister, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Yang, Yang Dingtian!"

"He is at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and his combat power is peerlessly fierce—he's incredibly strong..."

With a smile and a sense of pride, Qin Wenhua began introducing Ji Taichang's glorious battle achievements to Qin Miaoyi.

After hearing this, the eyes of Qin Miaoyi and her subordinate Cultivators widened, showing looks of disbelief!

Instantly killing an eighth-level Foundation Establishment ghost with one sword, one-shotting a Flying Violent Ape, and beating a Peak ninth-level Foundation Establishment Silver-Back Flood Dragon to death with his bare hands...

No matter how you looked at it, this was simply too outrageous!

"Seventh Brother, have you eaten too many poisonous mushrooms and started hallucinating?"

"The feats you're describing... I'm afraid even an ordinary first-level Golden Core expert couldn't achieve them!"

Qin Miaoyi's brow furrowed, finding it truly hard to believe that Ji Taichang's combat power was fierce to such an extent!

"To be honest, I wouldn't have believed it either if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes."

"But it's the truth!"

Qin Wenhua patted his chest and said solemnly, "If you don't believe me, Second Sister, look at this!"

He activated his Storage Ring, and a large pile of Yao Beast corpses appeared. Powerful eighth and ninth-level Foundation Establishment Evil Qi still lingered on them, causing the pupils of Qin Miaoyi and the others to tremble violently!

With the strength of Qin Wenhua and his group, it was absolutely impossible for them to have killed so many Yao Beasts.

Furthermore, according to Qin Wenhua, this was only the portion he had been allocated; the actual number of Yao Beasts Ji Taichang had killed far exceeded this!

Even though Qin Miaoyi was the County Princess of the Lanzhou Prince's Mansion and was well-traveled and knowledgeable, she couldn't help but be moved, stealing a few more glances at Ji Taichang.

"Young Master Yang's combat power is so terrifying. I wonder which power you hail from?"

"The Shen Family? The Wang Family? Or perhaps the Wuya Sect?"

Qin Miaoyi spoke softly, her beautiful eyes looking at Ji Taichang with curiosity.

The Shen Family, the Wang Family, and the Wuya Sect were the two clans and one sect that possessed Nascent Soul Stage experts; they were powerful forces second only to the Lanzhou Prince's Mansion!

"None of the above."

Ji Taichang shook his head. "I am just a Loose Cultivator."

Seeing that Ji Taichang was unwilling to reveal his true identity, Qin Miaoyi did not press further.

Regardless, with the capabilities of the Lanzhou Prince's Mansion, they would surely be able to investigate Ji Taichang thoroughly once they left!

"Since you have such a fierce expert helping you, then follow me into Mount Kongo to take a look."

Qin Miaoyi walked at the very front.

"Great, great!"

With joy on his face, Qin Wenhua followed closely behind Qin Miaoyi.

He knew all too well how strong Qin Miaoyi, the number one Genius of the Lanzhou Prince's Mansion, was.

With her and Ji Taichang, two such powerhouses, accompanying him, wouldn't he just soar to success!

*Lì!*

Just as Qin Miaoyi stepped into the range of Mount Kongo, she was met head-on by a massive black bird over ten zhang long.

Its eyes were filled with wildness and cruelty as it let out a ferocious, long shriek and dove toward Qin Miaoyi, whipping up a gale.

This was a Yao Beast with eighth-level Foundation Establishment cultivation!

In any other place, it would certainly be a regional hegemon, yet they had encountered it just as they entered the outskirts of Mount Kongo. It was easy to imagine that there must be even more terrifying Yao Beasts deep within the mountain!

*Xiū!*

Just as Qin Miaoyi was about to strike, a sharp arrow pierced through the sky, trailing a light behind it and letting out a piercing whistle as it arrived in an instant!

The massive black bird exploded upon impact, blood staining the sky as it turned into a mass of shredded meat that scattered everywhere.

Everyone turned in unison toward the direction the arrow had come from.

A team of thirteen people emerged from another direction. Leading them was a richly dressed young man wearing golden armor and holding a large golden bow, appearing very flamboyant.

"Your Highness the County Princess, we meet again."

The young man had a smile on his face as he stared directly at Qin Miaoyi, his eyes filled with tenderness and heat.

"So it is Fellow Daoist Wu Ji of the Wuya Sect."

Qin Miaoyi nodded slightly toward him, her face expressionless, calm, and indifferent. Her attitude seemed somewhat cold.

Wu Ji didn't seem to care at all; instead, he led his people over with a chuckle.

"It just so happens that I also intend to lead my people into Mount Kongo to explore. Why don't we go together? If we encounter any danger, we can look out for one another."

From beginning to end, Wu Ji's gaze remained fixed on Qin Miaoyi. He didn't even spare a glance for Qin Wenhua, let alone greet him.

This was a display of arrogance and conceit; even though Qin Wenhua was a Young Master of the Lanzhou Prince's Mansion, Wu Ji did not hold him in any regard!

Of course, it was also possible that this Seventh Young Master, Qin Wenhua, was simply too weak to be worth his attention.

"No need."

Qin Miaoyi shook her head and directly led her people forward.

Seeing this, Wu Ji only gave a light laugh. Not caring in the slightest, he led his subordinates to follow along beside them.

Qin Miaoyi's brow furrowed slightly, but after a brief thought, she remained silent, not wishing to have a falling out with Wu Ji.
