The Ancient Realm Goddess
White Crane
"Qi Rong is damned! How could he still take the opportunity to have fun with such a woman?!" Jing Ling cursed loudly after the Cloud Fairies carriage shot far away. He's really pissed off.
"Forget it. They're gone, why are you wasting your emotions?"
Qing Yue'er walked back to the crane that was currently still faithfully waiting. He would not be able to defeat the Cloud Fairies. Rather than bothering to fight back and just end up in vain, it was better for him to let Qi Rong go first. He promised to find Cloud Fairis after arriving at the Central Plains later.
"You're right. We better go first" Jing Ling said. He sat back down to the crane. After that they went back on their journey.
The direction taken by Cloud Fairies was different from Qing Yue'er. Indeed he had an affair that required him to leave the Central Plains for a while.
Qi Rong sat not far from the strange woman. Even after getting inside the carriage, he still could not see the real face of the Coud Fairies. Was it because she was so beautiful that she had to hide her face?
"Miss, someone is moving closer" said the horseman suddenly.
"Do as usual. I don't want to bother doing something unimportant" said Cloud Fairies.
The horse controller or the man named Gu Bo was astonished. Previously Cloud Fairies was willing to get out of the carriage only for Qing Yue'er's group, but why was her attitude back to how it was? Does the girl group have something that makes her interested?
Gu Bo had a lot of astonishment in his heart, but he did not dare to ask further.
As Gu Bo had said, there was another crane that passed by the horse carriage. Gu Bo's hand took out a silver-colored whip. After that he whipped the air hard.
The whip produced such powerful air fluctuations. A destructive force hit the crane upon which two people were sitting. In an instant the crane instantly lost its balance.
The person on the crane was panicking. But they did not have time to scream because they fell from that height.
Qi Rong could hear what was happening outside. She secretly felt relieved. Luckily his group was granted leniency by Cloud Fairies. Otherwise his fate would be the same as a crane falling from the sky.
Cloud Fairies chuckled small. "Aren't you wondering where we're going?"
"I'm sure you won't tell me. So I will just wait for him until he arrives," Qi Rong replied. "But I'm curious, why do you want to take me?"
Cloud Fairies brightened up a sweet smile. Unfortunately it was covered by the fog so that others could not see it. "Because you have potential that no one else can see."
"potential?" Qi Rong asked in confusion. He himself felt that his abilities were only mediocre. Moreover, when compared to Qing Yue'er, she would definitely be left very far behind. Basically maybe no one can equal themselves with the girl.
"You don't know it yourself, do you? Just wait, you'll find out later" said Cloud Fairies.
Qi Rong could only sigh resignedly. But at the bottom of his heart, there was an unconscious feeling of anticipation. Maybe there will be a chance for him to catch up.
***
The journey to the Central Plains took almost three days. During that time the crane that Qing Yue'er was riding remained motionless. That's where the privilege is. Derek can travel without needing a break. This will allow for faster travel.
Qing Yue'er stared at the Central Plains region that could already be seen by the naked eye. The region does have its own aura. Even Qing Yue'er was able to sense it and it was very different from the Eastern Tongxuan continent.
After a while finally the crane he was riding on began to make landfall. There's already someone on duty to take the crane back.
Qing Yue'er and Jing Ling got off the crane. Before leaving, Qing Yue'er took the time to rub her fine feathers. He even whispered a few words that made the bird screech a little. No one knew what words he was whispering.
After that, he backed off and prepared to leave. However, he suddenly heard a voice aimed at the two of them. "Miss, you are required to pay for the spirit stones again as an additional fee."
The one who spoke to him was an old man wearing simple clothes. Nothing special about his appearance. But his tone sounded demanding in the ears.
"Old Man, I don't think anyone said anything like this at the beginning of the rental," Jing Ling said in protest. She herself felt the same way as Qing Yue'er.
"Did? You guys don't want to pay?" The man widened his eyes and mocked the two girls. "100 spirit stones won't pay for it? Is it now that humans have really become shameless?"
Qing Yue'er was shaking her hand. He did not mind the 100 spirit stones, even 200 spirit stones would not give him any trouble if it was indeed the truth. But he would not be happy when others took advantage of his existence which was indeed still unfamiliar in this region.
He looked at the old man with a mocking face. This person must have committed an act of fraud not just once or twice. Logically, the newcomers must feel the need to be careful in unfamiliar territory, so most of them will not offend the people here.
Yet Qing Yue'er was not someone that was easily manipulated. In just one look he knew that the person was just using him.
"How can we be shameless? Isn't that you who wants to use others?" Qing Yue'er sneered.
"I won't listen to you. Jing Ling, let's go!" Qing Yue'er said as she passed away leaving the old man. Jing Ling laughed mockingly.
It definitely made the anger of that person increase. It had been a long time since he had met such a difficult person as Qing Yue'er. But he will not give up just like that, today he just got a little catch.
"Wait!" his yell.
Qing Yue'er frowned. He turned to look at the old man. "Is there anything to say?"
The old man laughed, but his laughter contained such obvious ridicule. "Miss, don't think living in this place is so easy. You should know that the people here are certainly stronger and more ruthless than the people of Eastern Tongxuan."
"Then?" Both Qing Yue'er's eyebrows shot up. It seems like that person is still unwilling to let go.
"Then, who is better known here? Who would be more trusted? If I say bad things about you, will they trust me?"
Jing Ling's facial expression instantly became ugly after hearing this. Clearly that fellow was blackmailing and threatening them, how could this be left to nothing?
"Don't act like you're so powerful here! At most you are just a person who will hug the thighs of powerful people, instead you will step on people like us." Jing Ling said in a mocking tone. It must be admitted that the girl has courage above other girls.
Qing Yue'er confirmed Jing Ling's remark with a ruckus. She liked how Jing Ling often said things spicyly.
The old man immediately gnashed his teeth full of anger. Just this time he was laughed at by such young girls. Although he knew his deeds were wrong, but he did everything because he was in dire need.
"You guys are really tough girls. Then don't blame me for being cruel!" He instantly revealed his quite powerful aura. It turned out that he was at level 4 of the sky realm.
Qing Yue'er was certainly not afraid. However it would be too waste of time if it had to face with its own hands. In a loud voice he shouted, "Baihe, play with this guy!"
The sound of screeching came from behind. The old man turned around. It was then that he was shocked to see the crane that Qing Yue'er had just climbed flying towards him. The crane had a different face, its eyes looking more lively than before.
What the fuck?
That person instantly stopped the crane that was preparing to peck it with its long beak.
"Stop stopping!" That guy looks ugly. Although that crane had no cultivation, but he had undergone physical training. It does have the ability to attack other creatures.
"Well, it turns out that the crane can attack someone?" Jing Ling said in astonishment. He glanced at Qing Yue'er in surprise. This must have something to do with Qing Yue'er's actions whispering something to the crane.
Qing Yue'er chuckled. Indeed as a thank you for driving him all the way to this place, he had whispered a name for the crane. Baihe or White Derek is a simple name. Didn't expect that the crane liked him.
