39: Chapter 39 The Shy Princess

Logically speaking.

Even for a Prodigy of the Human Race at the first level of the Golden Core Stage, it would be extremely difficult to kill a Red Fire Lizard; they would have to fight for at least three hundred rounds.

Yet, Ji Taichang killed the Red Fire Lizard in a single sword strike!

This scene was so shocking that Qin Miaoyi's red lips parted slightly, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

"Hey, Her Highness the County Princess, it's safe now, can you come down?"

It wasn't until Ji Taichang's helpless voice sounded that Qin Miaoyi finally came back to her senses.

In the urgency of the moment just now, Qin Miaoyi had subconsciously wrapped her arms around Ji Taichang's neck, her voluptuous and graceful body pressed tightly against him.

She hadn't noticed anything wrong during the battle, as her attention was entirely focused on the Red Fire Lizard.

Now that she realized it after the fact, Qin Miaoyi's pretty face turned crimson instantly, and her heart felt like a Kunkun was bumping around inside, leaving her quite flustered and shy.

"S-sorry, I, I didn't mean to just now..."

Qin Miaoyi hurriedly climbed down from Ji Taichang, subconsciously tucked her hair behind her ear, and looked around, not daring to look at Ji Taichang at all.

Her current shy and inexperienced appearance was completely different from her original cold and noble image as a County Princess, possessing a unique charm of its own!

"As expected of the County Princess, she is truly beautiful..."

Watching Qin Miaoyi's shy and beautiful face, a look of admiration couldn't help but flash in Ji Taichang's eyes.

It's a pity she isn't a widow...

Otherwise, her favorability towards him should be quite high right now, and he could have gained quite a bit of cultivation.

"Wait, that's not right. Since when did I only like married women?"

"Ji Taichang, oh Ji Taichang, you must not be ruined by this Cao Zei System!"

Ji Taichang suddenly woke up to his thoughts and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The two inspected the area, but only found some second-grade Spirit Medicine, so they left the place.

As for the red lotus grass.

Although Qin Miaoyi had also taken action, she hadn't really contributed much, so she felt embarrassed to split it with Ji Taichang and instead gave it all to him.

Qin Wenhua and the others were waiting anxiously at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing Ji Taichang and Qin Miaoyi return safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!

"But why is Second Sister's face so red?"

"Why does she keep stealing glances at Young Master Yang, and then her face turns even redder?"

"Could it be... that there is a story between them?"

Qin Wenhua suddenly noticed the detail keenly, his eyes widened slightly, and the fire of gossip began to burn fiercely in his heart.

"We have obtained the red lotus grass, let's go."

Qin Miaoyi gave a light cough, circulated the spiritual power within her body, and tried her best to suppress her blood flow to make her face look less red.

In the time that followed.

Ji Taichang's group swept through the entire Mount Kongo, and without encountering any other major Golden Core Stage demons, they successfully found several third-grade Spirit Medicine, which made everyone beam with joy and feel quite delighted.

After leaving Mount Kongo, at Qin Miaoyi's invitation, the group continued to team up and headed to the next treasure location.

The only thing that Ji Taichang felt a bit regretful about was that with Qin Miaoyi and Qin Wenhua by his side, when they encountered Cultivators from other Sect factions, no one dared to provoke them, so Ji Taichang couldn't continue collecting Storage Rings.

The Cangshan Secret Realm was open for a total of three days.

But the strength of Ji Taichang's group was too strong; it only took them a day and a half to sweep through the entire Secret Realm, with a bountiful harvest, which could be called returning fully loaded!

"This time it's really thanks to Young Master Yang! Such a rich harvest, if it weren't for Young Master Yang's help, I wouldn't have dared to dream of it... Huh?"

"Young Master Yang?"

While passing through a primeval forest overgrown with miasma, Qin Wenhua tallied up their harvest, his tone quite emotional.

He was just about to turn his head to say something to Ji Taichang, only to discover that Ji Taichang had disappeared at some unknown time!

"Hmm?"

"Where is Young Master Yang?"

Qin Miaoyi and the others were also greatly shocked, hurriedly scattering in all directions to search for traces of Ji Taichang, loudly calling out his name.

But Ji Taichang had already activated his Turtle Breath Art, suppressing all his aura, and had slipped away silently.

If he left the Secret Realm with Qin Wenhua and the others, his identity would be impossible to hide!

"Hehehe... This Cangshan Secret Realm is truly a great place!"

Ji Taichang weighed the heavy Storage Ring in his arms, a heartfelt smile appearing on his face!

After he had run far away, he quietly restored his true appearance.

Ji Taichang first wandered around the Cangshan Secret Realm casually, and only then did he walk unhurriedly toward the Secret Realm exit.

Besides Ji Taichang, many other Cultivators were also withdrawing from the Cangshan Secret Realm one after another.

"Ji Taichang?"

"Why did you come out by yourself? Weren't you supposed to team up?"

The Second Elder of the Qingyun Sect, Liu Cuilan, showed a look of surprise on her face.

"Reporting to Elder, I was accidentally ambushed by a venomous snake in the Secret Realm, briefly lost consciousness, and lost contact with other fellow Disciples."

"However, I also found some decent Spirit Medicine in the Secret Realm..."

Ji Taichang had already thought of a reason and took out a few second-grade Spirit Medicine from his Storage Ring.

"It's good that you are unharmed; you can keep the Spirit Medicine for yourself."

Seeing these few second-grade Spirit Medicine, Liu Cuilan's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, and she shook her head.

Given that Ji Taichang only had "Foundation Establishment Stage, second level" cultivation, although Liu Cuilan was disappointed, she wasn't too surprised.

"Yang Dingtian... Aaaaaah!"

"Investigate this for me!"

"No matter which Sect faction he is a Disciple of, this Young Master will absolutely not let him off!"

Just at this moment, a roar suddenly erupted from the distant Wuya Sect team.

It was clearly Wu Ji!

Upon hearing this, Ji Taichang's expression didn't change in the slightest, and his heart was completely calm.

Wu Ji was looking for Yang Dingtian, what did that have to do with him, Ji Taichang?
