Chapter 118– Martial Demon Town

A carriage advanced quickly.

Amid the monotonous scenery flying by, the narrow road gradually widened.

“I can already see… Martial Demon Realm.”

The cloth of the carriage was lifted, and a lovely round face protruded into the carriage from the driver's seat.

The level bangs are touching the eyebrows, the immature red cheeks look lovely, and the big watery eyes resemble the timid eyes of a small animal who has seen humans.

“We arrived?”

Hearing Gong Tianqing's words, Xue Qilin sleeping in the back of the carriage woke up immediately.

Martial Demon Realm is quite far away from Merak Temple. Additionally, this is a group trip. Merak Temple's caravan consists of 5 carriages. In order to give consideration to everyone, the caravan naturally cannot advance at full speed.

In this way, the caravan spent more than 15 days to cross the distance. Xue Qilin who dislikes long-distance travel has long since been vexed and bored, and so fell into a state of lethargy. If it wasn't for Qi Qiqi, Shui Yun'er, and Gong Tianqing accompanying her, unable to bear this form of torture, she might have long since escaped back to Merak Temple.

Thus she even jumped up in excitement.

“Ouch!”

Since she didn't control her strength properly, she b.u.mped into the roof of the carriage with a “bang”, and tears welled up at the corners of her eyes.

“Boo… it hurts!”

Xue Qilin clasped the place that she hit herself and crouched down. Gong Tianqing who seems to feel her pain curled up.

“Really, are you okay?”

“Young Teacher, are you okay?”

Qi Qiqi and Shui Yun'er held out a hand at the same time, intending to help Xue Qilin rub the place that she hit herself. But when they found out that the both of them extended a hand, they looked at one another, and then immediately retracted their hand and looked away, embarra.s.sed.

At this time, Xue Qilin who had already finished expressing her pain, impatiently stuck a greater part of her body out of the carriage's window. She didn't notice that her dress is lifted up.

“Hey, be careful!”

Seeing Xue Qilin rocking back and forth, Qi Qiqi grabbed the back of her dress.

After the carriage finally left the narrow road, the field of vision suddenly widened.

“Hey, really! I see it! Is it there?”

The verdant green filling the field of vision extends to the other end of the horizon, as if it were the entrance to another world.

It is a forest, a vast forest that stretches for tens of thousands of li [1].

Suddenly discovering a strange object in her peripheral, Xue Qilin moved her gaze to pursuit it.

“Hey, there's a town?”

With endless verdant green as the background, there's a town extending along the edge of the forest. The town isn't large, but there are many auras of martial pract.i.tioners emitting from it. They should be people of the other sects.

“Hmm?”

Qi Qiqi stuck her head out above Xue Qilin and looked in the same direction as the la.s.s. If it wasn't because she has to show her ident.i.ty as Merak Temple's Temple Master and thus specially changed into the Temple Master's clothing – a blue and white long dress, she might have ended up like the less underneath her, with her dress lifted up.

“Ah, that's Martial Demon Town!”

Qi Qiqi continued in a low voice: “I haven't been here in a long time…”

It seems that this is not the first time she has come to Martial Demon Realm.

“Martial Demon Town? Is it full of martial demons?”

“Young Teacher, it's nothing the like. It's purely because it is adjacent to Martial Demon Realm that it is called Martial Demon Town.”

Shui Yun'er grabbed the dresses of Xue Qilin and Qi Qiqi to prevent them from falling off while explaining with a smile.

“That so? But why are there so many carriages?”

Looking over at the town's gate, you can see countless people and carriages coming and going.

“Those are merchants. Martial Demon Realm is rich in unique natural resources, including wood, ore, and animal and plant resources. Some are very rare even in this place. For these profit-oriented merchants, they all s.h.i.+ne like gold, silver and jewelry.”

“Younger Sister Shui is right. That is our destination.”

“We aren't go into Martial Demon Realm directly?”

This question was blurted out without thinking.

“Can your head only come up with strange things? We have to stay there for the night and prepare some necessities.”
