Chapter 347: Stay (1/2)
The ride towards the Shi domains was unlike our bored gamer's walk to the gates. It was not uneventful nor was it lonely in the least.
The roads were pretty much packed with people and the myriad artistic lanterns gave colors to the otherwise inky dark night.
If one did not know any better then he would easily mistake this event for a city wide festival. Alas, one would assume that and he would be dead wrong to have such thoughts.
In truth, this was merely a show of the tacit cooperation amongst the clans nearby. Almost everyone was quite adamant to please the newly arisen power in Aurora.
This was of course none other than our bored gamer inside a very luxurious carriage.
The trip towards the Shi Family would have only taken 5 minutes tops but with how enthusiastic everyone was, the time of arrival was expected to happen in no less than 30 minutes tonight.
”Master Clark!”
”Master Clark!”
”Master Clark!”
”Welcome to the city of Aurora, Master Clark!”
”Our humble place is lucky to have you, Master!” A chorus of shouts rang in the scene and they were content in having no answer from the silent but tumultuous means of transport.
”Father! Father!” A kid called his pops from the side. This young one was an extremely curious soul and this trait was very natural to children his age.
”Yes. What's the matter, my son?” A noble middle aged man answered yet his eyes never left the important car in their midst.
The vehicle was gently passing by and the big horses strode in a slow trot. These beautiful beasts of burden appeared to love the attention that it was getting.
”Why is that cart bouncing that way, Father?” The cute fat boy asked in a voice filled with innocence.
The strong violent motions on the vehicle was pretty strange amidst the gentle walk of these tall horses.
In the eyes of this young child, these topsy-turvy actions were truly unnatural at this time. It was way too wild and disorderly to his immature mind.
”That is because...” The father of the kid tried to make a hasty lie on the spot. Alas, he took a few breaths to pause on at least a believable white lie for his boy.
”A masterpiece like this carriage can sometimes do erratic movements like this one, my son.”
”You may think that it would give an uncomfortable ride inside but the reality of the situation is far from that.
I believe that Master Clark is experiencing one of the greatest rides in his life right now.” The father of the child replied with an awkward smile on his face.
It was a simple task for a cultivator like him to notice what was happening inside this rich carriage.
Their five senses were already far beyond super human and as such, the majority of the cultivators could easily discern soft mewls and moans inside the vehicle.
”I see now. Thank you, Father.” The boy nodded and was happy to get his question finally answered.
