Chapter 2286: Arrival at the Demon Race's Territory

Yun Yuqing said with a smile, “We didn’t really say anything either. Just what are you thinking about?”

Since she had previously helped the Jiang clan, her relationship with Jiang Luofu was quite good right now, so she wasn’t as cautious as the others. She didn’t feel as much of an emotional burden when making these kinds of jokes.

Jiang Luofu was about to explain when Ji Xiaoxi said in confusion, “I also think that spending a day with big brother Zu gave me more benefits than a whole year of cultivation. What's wrong with what little aunt said?”

Now even Xie Daoyun, who had been doing her best to hold it in, burst out laughing. Her face turned bright red.

I’m finished, I’m done for! In the future, I'll probably just be a dirty little girl in big brother Zu’s eyes.

Both Yun Yuqing and Jiang Luofu were laughing so hard that their bodies rocked back and forth. Only Ji Xiaoxi alone continued to blink her large eyes in confusion.

“You’re right, Xiaoxi. You don’t need to worry about those other things.” Jiang Luofu gently rubbed Ji Xiaoxi’s head.

This girl really is as pure and innocent as a white sheet of paper.

Ji Dengtu has protected her a bit too well over the years. There are definitely both pros and cons to that.

The good thing was that Ji Xiaoxi had a kind heart of gold, but the bad part was that she was just way too innocent. If she left her father’s protection and met someone really bad, she could end up suffering as a result.

Zu An was clearly thinking the same thing. He took out some treasures and talismans to give to her, saying, “Xiaoxi, keep these things on you to protect yourself.”

Whether it was from the Imperial Palace or the academy’s treasury, he could now take whatever he wanted. Those treasures weren’t too useful for him now, but they were good for giving as gifts to people. His lovers did need a lot of things, after all.

“Ah! Big brother Zu, you already gave me a lot of stuff before. It’s already enough.” Ji Xiaoxi quickly shook her hands. After all, she felt that she wasn't supposed to get a reward if it wasn't deserved. She didn’t know why he would suddenly give her so many magical artifacts.

Zu An chuckled. “It’s fine. It’s always good to have more defensive artifacts.” He shoved them into her arms before she could refuse. He even put some of them straight into her clothes.

When she saw how intimate he was acting, Yun Yuqing blinked in surprise.

It seems there are still quite a few we were missing when I was talking about his lovers with big sister.

Jiang Luofu thought to herself,

If Ji Dengtu saw this, he'd probably just faint from anger on the spot.

“Then thank you, big brother Zu.” Ji Xiaoxi’s face heated up a bit as she stored away the defensive treasures and talismans.

She was the only one who had received gifts, but not a single person felt jealous. The main reason was because she was just too pure and innocent, like a weak little white rabbit. Anyone would feel pity when they saw her.

It was already getting dark. The others wanted to keep listening to Zu An's amazing experiences, but as women, they couldn't really just stay with him all night. They quickly excused themselves one after another.

The flying ship was quite high up in the sky, allowing everyone to see the stars and celestial streams more clearly from their rooms. They were all really excited; even Jiang Luofu acted like a little girl. As she stared at the starry sky, she became a bit absentminded, and a happy smile appeared on her face, although it was impossible to tell what kind of wonderful thing she was thinking about.

But as the sky grew darker, the women on the flying ship also became more quiet, perhaps because they were falling asleep.

...

Meanwhile, Zu An was seated on his bed in meditation, sensing the natural way of the world. He suddenly sensed something. A beautiful figure tiptoed into his room, then moved over to the window. She moved closer like a beautiful snake, filling the curtains with a sweet fragrance.

“I knew it was you.” Zu An smiled.

“You seem to be disappointed that the others didn’t come looking for you,” Yun Yuqing said in a sweet voice.

“There’s no way.” Zu An took her into his arms. He added inwardly,

There's no way the others would come looking for me in the middle of the night.

He gave her a kiss before asking, “Why do I sense a bit of bitterness from you?”

“How could I not be bitter? I thought this trip would belong to just the two of us, but now there are suddenly so many other people,” Yun Yuqing muttered. “But the rooms and beds on this flying ship are quite good. The conditions are way better than if we had gone alone...

“It would be a bit of a waste to be given such great beds, but not do anything with them.” As she spoke, Yun Yuqing’s eyes were covered in a faint layer of watery mist. Her features were incredibly beautiful to begin with, and that only made her even more alluring.

“Oh?”

“Yeah.”

Yun Yuqing moved her beautiful hair behind her head and tied it into a simple ponytail. She smiled charmingly toward him before lowering herself.

Zu An played with the ponytail in his hands. Her hair wasn’t as long as her sister’s, but it was bright and smooth. It felt just like satin in his hands, so picking it up and handling it was quite interesting.

Suddenly, his expression froze. He looked up toward the window.

Are you kidding me? Are the heavens messing with me?

Outside the window, Xie Daoyun was hesitantly pacing back and forth. She thought about what her brother said, feeling that continuing to stall would really just be suffering. She decided that maybe it was better to just ask what Zu An really thought.

But just as she was about to knock on the door, she pulled her hand back again. She sighed, and in the end, she turned around and left.

If she didn’t ask him, they could continue to be good friends. If she asked, perhaps they wouldn't even be able to be friends anymore.

In another room, Jiang Luofu was watching Xie Daoyun quietly. She couldn't help but shake her head when she saw what was happening. After all, Xie Daoyun was a goddess in the academy, someone everyone chased after. They all felt that she was impossible to reach, but how could they have known that her love would actually be so difficult?

Just what kind of crazy charm does that damn brat have?

How can he make so many outstanding women chase after him like this?

Xiaoxi is only experiencing her first awakening of love, but she is too innocent. How can she compete against those formidable competitors? Even the incredible genius Xie Daoyun is left in such a sorry state.

But that kid does have quite the charm...

She unknowingly sat by the bed and slowly rolled down her silk stockings. She looked at her legs, which she had always been very satisfied with, and suddenly released a light sigh. “If I remained the only one who gets to admire such a beautiful pair of legs, that would be a bit too much of a waste.”

...

The women got to see mountains and rivers all around them, and rivers of stars in the night sky. They could even hear Zu An talk about all sorts of amazing stories along the way. They thus felt that time passed really quickly.

Meanwhile, Zu An felt that each one had amazing things about them, and that even though they were different, they were all equally delightful.

Just like that, they quickly entered the Demon race's territory. Unlike the human side's elegant mountains and rivers, this place was clearly a poorer region. There were all kinds of strange craggy stones across the landscape, and there was very little vegetation. The weather was also quite strange. It was clearly blistering hot in one region, and yet snow was fluttering everywhere in an adjacent region.

Jiang Luofu was amazed by this sight.

Our human ancestors really did steal the best land. Otherwise, the ones living here might have been humans.

Yun Yuqing stood at the head of the ship and stared at the scene below for a long time. “This is probably the Rong clan’s territory. There isn’t much in the way of courteousness or modest refusal here, which means conflicts are likely to arise. Our flying ship is too eye-catching and might incur jealousy. How about we put the flying ship away for now, and disguise ourselves to get some information?”

Zu An looked at the beautiful women around him. He couldn't help but say with a smile, “No matter how incredible beauties like you disguised yourself, it’d probably still be hard to not draw attention.”

Even if they wore masks to hide their beautiful facial features, their bodies were still just as eye-catching as candle flames in the darkness.

The four women all blushed a bit when they heard his praise. However, the same words would be received completely differently if someone else said them.

Zu An looked at the world below and calmly said, “There’s no need for all the trouble. Let’s just go straight to the Rong clan and ask about the situation."

Yun Yuqing was stunned. Then, a smile appeared on her face.

Right, with his current status, why would he still need to keep hiding himself?

Just then, several figures rose into the air from below, surrounding the ship.

“What are you all doing?!”

“Is this the escort of another saintess?”
