Chapter 89: Crazy Girl, Will We Be Discovered?
"Qi Ling? Bai Yun, have you ever paid attention to her every move?"
Chang Zhichun asked thoughtfully.
Bai Yun shook her head, "This girl usually doesn't stand out at all; it was only during this selection that she emerged. Perhaps she's a child with quite a deep mind."
"Haha, no matter how deep, she's just a child; no need to overthink. Let's finish eating and rest upstairs; we can make concrete plans in the evening."
Everyone nodded, and after quickly finishing their meal, they each headed to the second floor of the inn. ...
The entire inn, due to most guests leaving temporarily, seemed unusually quiet.
A long and empty corridor suddenly had a figure appear, moving silently downstairs without making a single sound. However, just as they reached the stairway, a door suddenly creaked open!
"Where are you going? Qi Ling?"
Su Chen stood at the door, eyes half-open, speaking. Tired from travel, everyone had already settled down for rest. He was puzzled by this strange girl who still seemed so full of energy.
Qi Ling was taken aback for a moment, then her pretty face immediately turned up with a natural smile. She covered her lips with a slender finger and whispered, "Don't wake Senior Brother and the others. Come with me; I'll take you to a good place!"
"What good place can be more comfortable than a bed?"
Su Chen still carried a bit of sleepiness.
Qi Ling giggled, pulling him over, whispering by his ear, "Your bed doesn't have me, how comfortable can it be?"
Su Chen was jolted awake by her bold teasing, his face slightly red, looking at Qi Ling's sparkling black eyes for quite a while, he softly said, "You crazy girl, always speaking so oddly, I'm done talking with you."
Having said that, he turned to return to his room, but Qi Ling grabbed his arm, "Don't go. Come with me, or if Senior Brother finds out, I'll drag you down with me."
Su Chen was taken aback, his drowsiness lifted a bit, he looked at Qi Ling, slightly angry, "You're threatening me?"
"So what if I am? If you don't comply, I'll report you, saying you came into my room to molest me."
Qi Ling said naturally.
Su Chen gritted his teeth and reluctantly whispered, "What exactly do you want to do? Didn't Senior Brother say to follow his instructions? What if something happens later!"
"Don't worry, as long as we're back by evening, it'll be fine. Now hurry and come with me!"
With that, Qi Ling pulled him, and they quickly descended the stairs.
The two of them ran towards Luoji Mountain outside the small town. Luoji Mountain, located in the northeastern region of the Auslan Empire, was remote, with poor environmental and mineral conditions, and almost no significant military vulnerabilities, so there were never any troop stations there. Besides this small town and some scattered villages, there were no large cities under Luoji Mountain. However, the sudden influx of so many Beast Cultivator experts made the always quiet small town and Luoji Mountain lively. Yet, the crisis hidden beneath the liveliness was something no one foresaw...
Qi Ling and Su Chen made their way to the foot of Luoji Mountain. The afternoon sun was particularly intense. Even with the shade of the trees lining the road, Su Chen still felt a wave of heat.
Qi Ling had changed into a short purple skirt, which only reached her knees, revealing two long, fair legs. Her seductive curves, the slender waist barely able to be grasped, and the sweet, innocent face all exuded an undeniable charm. Su Chen stole glances at her several times along the way, the more he looked, the more puzzled he felt. Why did this girl, who entered the Carefree Sect almost at the same time as him, have so many mysteries about her?
"Have you seen enough? If so, let's go up the mountain."
Leaning against a tree to rest, Qi Ling suddenly turned around, looking at the alarmed Su Chen, she said with a smile. The afternoon shade cast dazzling light spots like Copper Coins, accentuating Qi Ling's beautiful face, causing Su Chen a moment of distraction.
He came to his senses, pouting, "I wasn't looking at you, besides, if you weren't looking at me, how do you know I was looking at you?"
"Haha, what a sharp-tongued rogue, your eyes practically looked me over from head to toe, did you think I wouldn't know?"
Qi Ling teased, "After looking for so long, did you find any difference between me and Huo Yunxin?"
"Both have one nose and two eyes, what's different about that."
Su Chen pretended to be disdainful.
"For instance, isn't my chest bigger than hers?"
Qi Ling suddenly chuckled, then walked lightly to Su Chen, looking at his slightly flushed face, she intentionally said, "Weren't you staring at it earlier? Now, why don't you dare to look?"
Su Chen lowered his head, not daring to meet Qi Ling's fiery gaze, regretting his previous reckless looking.
"Haha, you silly fool, I was teasing you, lift your head."
Qi Ling laughed lightly, and Su Chen lifted his head accordingly, but just as he did, Qi Ling suddenly embraced him, and the two of them quickly turned behind the big tree!
"Shh, someone's here!"
Qi Ling, holding Su Chen, said urgently. Her eyes, which were full of laughter moments ago, now filled with vigilance.
Su Chen, however, was not paying attention to who was outside, for he suddenly realized that his chest was pressed against Qi Ling's, and instantly his mind was in turmoil!
The faint fragrance at the tip of his nose and the soft, supple body of the young girl in his arms made Su Chen's breathing quicken.
"Let go of me, I won't move recklessly."
Su Chen whispered, but Qi Ling paid no heed, turning her head to stare intensely ahead.
