Free Web NovelChapter 1327: Chapter 1321
After what seemed like protests from Mu Chen, following a day of flying, he finally moved from the Xuan Bird’s mouth to its lower part.
The group traveled day and night, and after three days, they were already approaching Fengdong.
During these days, Xin Lin had been trying to search for Gui Hu’s aura, but much to her frustration, the Pride Corpse seemed intent on opposing her, as the journey went on, the aura of the Pride Corpse grew further and further away.
If this continues, she would soon lose his trail.
There are only two possible explanations for this situation.
One is that the Pride Corpse is intentionally avoiding her.
The other is that the Pride Corpse’s speed is even faster than the Xuan Bird. Xin Lin believes the second possibility is higher, because if the Pride Corpse truly wanted to hide his aura, she wouldn’t be able to find him at all.
At dusk, still a few hundred li from Fengdong, under Mu Chen’s strong request, the four decided to rest overnight in the outskirts.
The Xuan Bird folded its wings and landed.
Once off the bird’s claws, Mu Chen’s face was pale, and he clung to a tree and began to throw up.
The dignified Third Young Master of Fengdong, Mu Chen, had experienced the most miserable three days of his life.
As soon as he went up in the air, he experienced dizziness, blurred vision, and weak knees. After Xin Lin’s "diagnosis," he was said to have a condition called acrophobia.
After the Xuan Bird dropped them off, it went off to look for food.
The four were in a field in the suburbs, relatively close to Fengdong. Because it was near Fengdong, there were no villages around, making the area somewhat remote.
Once mu Chen had vomited enough and had recovered, they saw a flickering of firelight ahead, with several people gathered around a bonfire, looking like travelers based on their attire.
Mu Chen walked forward.
"Dear brothers, can we borrow your fire?"
The few people were startled by the voice, but upon seeing the four, and especially Mu Chen accompanied by the two beauties Murong Ziyue and Nolan Zhuyun, their expressions became more guarded.
"If you want to light a fire, go somewhere else."
Mu Chen’s face felt disgraced, when had he, Mu San, ever been turned down with his reputation and looks? How dare these people be so brazen in his territory.
"Dear mercenary masters, we are traveling to Fengdong to visit relatives. My brother has become sick on the journey, nearly throwing up his guts, and the two sisters have been traveling for a long distance with no place to rest. Seeing you here makes it seem much safer, so we thought of borrowing your fire to warm ourselves."
Behind him, Xin Lin stepped forward and glanced at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen was about to lose his temper, but then, who said his guts were about to be thrown up!
"So you’re a family visiting relatives."
Upon hearing this and seeing Xin Lin’s innocent look, with big innocent eyes, the mercenaries’ expressions eased slightly.
They mumbled a few words.
"As a family, they should have nothing to do with the female ghost."
"Alright, three women following a pretty boy seems rather pitiful."
Mu Chen’s face was dark, but upon hearing the mention of a female ghost, he realized something might be wrong, and after a glance at Xin Lin, he simply shut his mouth and said no more.
Once settled, Xin Lin pulled out several buns from her belongings and roasted them on the fire, not long after, a rich aroma wafted out.
The mercenaries smelled it and were salivating; the buns’ aroma was even richer than their roasted rabbit, and they curiously asked.
"Little girl, what kind of buns are those? They smell so good."
"Dear masters, these are called Ultimate Lingxiu Buns, a specialty from our hometown in Longteng Country. I’ll give you a few to try, and if you find them delicious, when you visit the Purple Cloud City in Longteng Country, make sure to visit a place called Chu’s Restaurant to eat these buns, they’re one tael each."
As Xin Lin spoke, she began distributing the buns.
