685 All the Way to the North! (2/2)

The commotion caused by the Xuan Beasts had not calmed down yet when three groups of people who came from different directions slipped silently into Tian Xiang City…

One of the groups was led by a young man dressed in green. This young man was of tall stature, and his bearing was elegant. He had an air about him that caused him to stand out from the common people. His face was handsome like a crown jade with delicate features, and his lips were red, like painted cinnabar. At this time, he looked toward the familiar sight of Tian Xiang City with a bitter smile.

”I've returned to Tian Xiang City… it wasn't easy for me to leave this place, but in such a short time, I've been sent back again… And I'm going to face the powerful rival that I wanted to meet least: the most frightening enemy in my heart… Although, he's also the rival that I thirst for the most… Jun Mo Xie, if you're not in Tian Xiang, even if I win this time, what meaning would it have?”

This person was Li You Ran!

After climbing onto the Eagle King's back, Jun Mo Xie flew toward the north at high speeds. It was only now that Jun Mo Xie finally knew just how far away the Silver Blizzard City was from Tian Xiang! Even with these flying Xuan Beasts traveling at the shocking speed of 10,000 li a day, going all out, they still needed two days to travel! Adding on the time for everyone to eat and rest, even at such great speeds, they would still require at least three days of journeying to reach their destination!

The distance of the Silver City was apparent to all!

Jun Mo Xie could not help but look at his Third Uncle with admiration: how fortunate! To find a wife that lives so far away… even if they quarrelled and fought one day to the point of divorce, the girl's family wouldn't even know anything and may still think that they were very intimate… Not like me, who's surround by so many fierce uncles and brothers-in-laws…

After an entire afternoon of high speed flight, the group was already far away from Tian Xiang. The bright sky had darkened into dusk, and the group finally landed to rest in a vast field.

Vast as the sky and boundless as the wilds. Although it was currently the dead of winter, and the sight of the endless carpet of green could not be seen, one could still feel the immeasurable might of the earth which spread for as far as the eye could see!

This huge grassland seemed to stretch forever, linking up with the sky and the stars. If one came here in the summer, the sight would truly be one to behold.

A bonfire was lit and tents sprouted all over the place. Everyone had prepared plentifully and carried dried rations with them. After eating, they got together into groups to chat. Especially the Beast Kings that had recently transformed into human form; they sat together in large groups, laughing and talking joyously. These Beast Kings had only completed their transformation not long ago and were not practiced with speaking yet. Their conversations would often be filled with incomplete sentences laced with wus and ahs… it was like they were speaking a different language and it was difficult to understand what they were saying. However, everyone was still laughing joyously and enjoying themselves.

Guan Qing Han and Dongfang Wen Xin felt somewhat uncomfortable in contrast. Their cultivations were the weakest among the crowd and were even below the Silver City's little princess, Han Yan Meng. In addition, it was the first time they had flown so high in the sky. Although they had been protected by Mei Xue Yan all the way, it was still very difficult for them to get used to the altitude completely. It was inevitable to feel exhausted. Thus, the two of them with Han Yan Meng went in to rest earlier.

The night was deep, and the Dongfang three brothers had already raised a storm with their snoring long ago. However, Jun Mo Xie, Mei Xue Yan, Jun Wu Yi, Solitary Falcon, and Feng Juan Yun were still wide awake.

They were on the verge of killing their way into the Silver City, so Jun Wu Yi's emotions were understandably charged. His heart was surging like the waves in the ocean, and it was naturally difficult for him to sleep. Jun Mo Xie did not feel the need to sleep since he had the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune. Mei Xue Yan was overseeing everything and naturally could not be careless. Furthermore, her cultivation was deep, and even if she did not sleep for eight or ten days, it would not pose a problem for her at all. Solitary Falcon and Feng Juan Yun were battle maniacs, and with a huge war on their periphery, how could those two hot blooded men sleep?

The five walked together on the vast prairie, feeling the soft grass beneath their feet. Far away, a huge pyre lit up half the sky. Under the canopy of the cloudless starry sky, the five of them felt a unique calmness in their hearts.

After a long time, Mei Xue Yan broke the silence with her light voice. She smiled softly as she looked at Jun Mo Xie. ”I could feel that you had a lot of things you wanted to ask me about since last time. However, I did not let you ask at that time. You can ask those questions now.”

Solitary Falcon and the rest turned to look at Jun Mo Xie with strange gazes.

Jun Mo Xie laughed, ”You're right, there are indeed many questions in my heart that I've always wanted to ask you, but couldn't find the chance to. But now that you're telling me to ask them, I don't know what to say…”

”Don't worry, ask away. Everyone is present, and I believe that they would be able to help clear the doubts of a rookie like you.” Mei Xue Yan smiled teasingly and said.

Everyone instantly laughed loudly and suddenly became interested in the topic. They found a place to sit down. Even the weakest of the five, Jun Wu Yi, had reached the fourth level of Spirit Xuan, so they naturally did not fear the cold. They directly sat down on the cold ground.

Jun Mo Xie smiled, raised his arms, and faced the vast grassland and said, ”To be honest, my questions would probably only appear extremely simple to all of you… for example… since old Falcon and the Hurricane Swordsman are here as well, I shall not avoid the topic and speak directly.” Wearing a green hat means that one is being cuckolded. This comes from a story from the Ming Dynasty; Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang enacted a law, which required men who worked in the prostitution trade to wear green hats. Later, it became a common saying about men whose wife had an affair, making her husband wear a green hat.
