C95 (1/2)
Luo Liya and Wukong stared at the Fire Phoenix in front of them in a daze. Their faces were filled with suspicion.
”Elder sister, what is this thing?”
”I don't know either …” It seemed like … Is it a mount? ” Luo Liya guessed softly. Her brows wrinkled as she carefully sized up the pet in front of her with a curious expression on her face.
”Mount? Whose mount? ”
”I don't know, but it must be some expert. I hope that expert can quickly appear.” Loria looked around cautiously, but nothing happened for a long time.
”Senior, teacher, master …” Lolya called out in turn, but there was still silence.
At the same time, the fiery red ”thing” suddenly moved, but it was not attacking Luo Liya or Wukong. Instead, it was approaching them. Its docile and obedient appearance gave Luo Liya the illusion that he was a Taotie.
He approached the two of them, then crouched down again, revealing his flat back. Even Wukong, who was always slow to react, seemed to understand what he was trying to do.
”Elder sister, he wants us to ride him.”
Luo Liya also nodded, ”Since we're here, then it's better to take care of it. Let's go up and give it a try.”
”Alright elder sister, sit in front. I'll hug you from the back so that you won't fall down so easily.”
Wu Kong's seemingly careless words made Luo Liya's heart warm. As soon as she sat down on the mount, a warm breath came from her back.
Luo Liya felt as if her entire body was tightly wrapped up, as if someone was seriously protecting her as if she was a fragile piece of glass. She immediately felt that Wu Kong was making a big fuss out of nothing. But the next moment, the horse started to move. The strong sense of bumpiness made Luo Liya have no time to think about the intimate contact between her and Wu Kong.
They traveled over mountains, lay down on water, and sometimes flew. This reminded Luo Liya of the time when she rode on the Scarlet Tailed Phoenix. It was the same feeling she had now.
”Elder sister. Sit on this... So much fun! ” Wu Kong finally voiced out his thoughts. Even though he had grown a lot recently, he still had not reached the stage where he could understand much. Seeing the smoky scene in front of him, he was beyond excited.
Even Luo Liya's mood became a bit happier. She didn't know when she would be able to have a mount of her own. She also didn't know if the Taotie would be able to carry them on a cloud and travel between the mountains.
They arrived at their destination soon after they got excited on their mounts. After passing through layer after layer of mist, Luo Liya was finally able to clearly see the scene in front of her.
Their mounts gradually slowed down before finally landing on the ground. Luo Liya and Wu Kong's originally bumpy bodies also stabilized.
The two of them looked around curiously, and then they saw two figures with the demeanor of immortals.
Fang He was still the same as before, carefree and magnanimous with layers of heroic air carved between his eyebrows. The person next to him was much older than him. Although he looked healthy and energetic, the moment he opened his mouth, his true age was revealed.
Lolya smiled at the two and bowed to them.
”Teacher Fang He, Teacher Xu Shang, how have you been?”
Her voice was emotionless and even cold, but it was very formal and solemn. Wu Kong imitated them and greeted them.
”Seems like he hasn't forgotten who we are.” Fang He said to Xu Shang with a smile, but Xu Shang did not answer. He only looked at the two of them with interest, and only sighed after a long while.
”If I wasn't seriously injured, I would have long taken action to see if your skills had improved!” Xu Shang's tone was full of melancholy, but Luo Liya and Wu Kong were surprised.
”Teacher is injured?” The two of them asked at the same time.
Hearing this, the smile on Xu Shang's face deepened, he turned to look at Fang He, ”Look, if I don't tell them, they won't be able to tell, which means my injury is almost healed.” It's time for you to leave as well. ”
”The general is really joking, if the body of a soldier cannot be very clean, how would Fang He dare to leave?”
Fang He asked with a calm expression. What Yu Loulan and Wu Kong had said was like throwing a grenade at the center of a calm lake.
”Tooth River Teacher... ”What did you call Teacher Xu Shang just now for?” Luo Liya was afraid that she had misheard. He hurriedly asked with a trembling voice.
