91 Chapter 91 (1/2)
”Are you two ready?” Clark asked his new passengers for the road. They were in the wide grandiose halls of the palace yet not even a shadow of Ning Bao could be seen in the scene.
The King could not accept the fact that he would probably lose more than his daughter in this family adventure which sadly excluded him in the first place.
'Finally!' Clark took a deep breath to hide the annoyance from his countenance.
Almost an hour has already elapsed and he would have thought that the wait would have taken more but it was fortunate that Wan Fei and his dearest Ning Xi finally reappeared in front of him again.
'And boy oh boy, the wait was indeed pretty worth my time!'
Clark almost whistled on the spot as he looked in awe at the two beautiful ladies in red and black fairy dresses that may have perhaps showcased the feelings of both their owners.
Wan Fei was dazzling as ever in her crimson dress which signified a ferocious attraction to any gender in creation.
While beside her, Ning Xi wore a shrouded color of black that represented a mourning of sorts.
A memento of her freedom slipping fast away from her fingers before she could have truly experienced its delights.
Still, if it had not been Clark today then someone like Zhang Mu may have likely replaced him in droves.
Such was the fate of having an unparalleled beauty in these cruel lands where the bigger fist dictates what is right and wrong.
Thus, being highly desirable by many may as well serve a curse as much as it was a blessing.
”We are prepared to go anytime, Clark.” Wan Fei nodded and rubbed a ring with her forefinger.
”BOINK!” a second later, a huge flaming flying sword materialized into place by her side.
Wan Fei then obviously looked intently at her daughter as if wordlessly saying for Ning Xi to follow her lead and do the same.
”SIGH!' A muted act that was barely audible but utterly plain to all was portrayed with style by our lovely Ning Xi.
”BOINK!” another flying sword appeared. This was Ning Xi's own.
”We don't need to travel by flying swords. Take them back and I will show you something a lot more practical.” Clark announced mysteriously.
If they would use this means of travel then they would perhaps arrive a million years by Nancy's conservative estimate before they could ever set foot in the shores of the Withered Continent.
That was how vast this xianxia world was! So to avoid going on an endless journey, it was a must for some needed innovation.
”Here take this.” Clark provided two special treasures unto the mother and daughter pair.
”What is this, Clark?” Wan Fei asked but did not await for any invitation and wore one of the items on her person. The other one came into the possession of Princess Ning Xi of course.
It was a bracelet with no distinguishing features whatsoever. It was as ordinary as trash which was fully intended by Clark in the first place.
Shiny sparkling things were after all very much coveted no matter where one goes to.
”It's a convenient magical tool that I purchased beforehand precisely for this event. It will become pretty useful for all of us.” Clark replied as if he predicted for this exact moment to happen.
He smiled but there was a slight bitterness in his face. He knew that these things were not cheap at all. It had cost him a hundred shop points for each bracelet.
After a one time use, these items would instantly become worse than garbage on the wrists of the ladies.
The only upside for this was that Clark could use the same amount of shop points in order to instantly move around these girls should the need arise once again.
A nifty trick to have indeed when one was on the brink of danger or much worse.
'For a price that is! Another one hundred shop points each if ever that were to happen someday.' Clark sighed and hoped that there would be no need for him to do this kind of rescue.
”Good to go?” Clark asked in a playful voice.
”Yes, we are.” Wan Fei was the first one to respond.
”Hmmm...” Ning Xi on the other hand continued to avail her right for silent protest.
”Now close your eyes.” Clark instructed.
”Why?” Wan Fei asked.
'Because it's more fun this way.' Clark almost said the words out. He replaced them with these instead...
”Because when you open them again, it will be a whole new world than this one. A lot more different. That i can promise you!”
Clark pledged like a gentleman that he was not but he was lucky that this did the trick to lull the women in doing what he wanted them to.
”Okay, Clark. It's great to know that you are a man that loves surprises also.” Wan Fei smiled seductively at Clark but closed her eyes all the same.
