Chapter 924: Enemies? A Rather Puzzling Aura

The long-legged Dromaeosaur was galloping at high speed through the mountains, hills, and cliffs easily, as if they were walking on solid ground.

If one was capable of ignoring the fact that he had a fear of heights, Feng Ji was indeed a good pathfinder. He had extraordinary eyesight and could clearly see birds and beasts that were more than ten kilometres away. He could also clearly see the flapping wings of a fly when it flies. The most important point was that he had a strong instinct when it came to predicting danger. As soon as he found that something was wrong, he would quickly detour and correct his path forward.

In addition to his extraordinary talent in reconnaissance, he was also a good player in terms of stealth.

His mount, the inconspicuous long-legged Dromaeosaur, also had the special ability to instantly change its colour and camouflage, quickly integrating with the environment.

“Although this guy isn’t as good as Yan Zao, he’s not bad at all when it comes to pathfinding. HOwever, it really is such a shame for him to be afraid of heights— he’s a Quasi-Heaven Ranker!” Princess Qian Qian became slightly baffled after assessing Feng Ji.

She and Yue Yang held hands and flew in the sky at a slow pace. They were more than a thousand metres apart from their guide and followed from a distance.

Sometimes when she was happy, she would pull him over to sit on the rocks of the mountains that they flew by.

They would watch the clouds rise and fall in the sky, the slanting wind and light drizzles on the ground; it was a moment for the two of them to bask in.

If she got tired, she laid on Yue Yang’s back and let him teleport his way while she closed her eyes and rested temporarily.

“Maybe it’s because of the psychological trauma of his childhood…” Yue Yang analysed as he put on a farce, implementing the ‘I’m a psychology expert, but please don’t worship me too much’ persona.

“What about you? Is it also because of a psychological trauma of your childhood that made you so lustful?” Princess Qian Qian suddenly asked.

“Ah, that was gifted to me upon birth!” Yue Yang felt like he was about to sweat profusely.

“Do you think it’s prideful to shout about being born horny?” Princess Qian Qian really didn’t expect this kid to admit it.

“About this, being born lecherous is better than being born as a eunuch. At least, lechery could be reflected on and occasionally pretend to be a Liu Xiahui[1] to see if any beautiful ladies offer themselves onto my lap; but if I was a eunuch, that wouldn’t be possible. Haven’t you heard of it? Once you enter the palace gate, you get stuck in a place that is as deep as the sea— no matter how awesome a eunuch was, he would only become the Emperor’s right-hand man at most!” Yue Yang argued with a crooked reason.

T/L Note:[1] Liu Xiahui was a Chinese politician known to have the greatest morals and decency. Nowadays, his name can be used to describe someone as a gentleman.

“I think it was a mistake trying to talk to you,” Princess Qian Qian gave him a sullen look and waved her hand deliberately, trying to break free from Yue Yang’s grasp on her hand. However, student Yue Yang had seen many seniors and their experiences when picking up girls before he transmigrated into this world. One of the secrets was that when a man held the hand of a beauty, don’t let go when she wanted to break free. Women were peculiar creatures with duplicity, that is— what they say and what they truly wanted might be just the opposite. If a beautiful woman told them to let go and they just did so, or asked them to release her and followed without second thoughts, then that person wasn’t a man, but a mere worm who did everything he was told! Who would be willing to fall in love with a worm that only followed instructions? Who would spend a lifetime with a worm like that?

T/L Note: No one should purposely do something against another person’s will or consent. The top paragraph is said for comedic effect, but if someone is clearly in the wrong, please speak up about it regardless of the ‘gender’ privileges.

“Then let’s not discuss this and talk about other things. For example, a tigress said last night that she wanted to take a bath with me. Who would have thought that despite spending so long soaking in the tub to the point where the outer layer of my skin already peeled off, there was no one to be seen. Now, if I can trouble the honourable Tigress to give me a good explanation,” Yue Yang asked with a smile on his face, not seeming to be angry.

“Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?” Princess Qian Qian asked Yue Yang a multiple-choice question.

“The lie,” Yue Yang chose an option that ordinary people wouldn’t choose. Sometimes, by playing cards that ignored common sense, he would get very good results.

“Who in the world likes to listen to lies? Are you kidding me on purpose?” Princess Qian Qian couldn’t help but want to give him a punch, but after thinking about how comfortable it was to sleep on his back just now, she couldn’t just bring herself to hit the man who basically served her just because she replenished her energy and rest. Forget it, I’ll forgive him a little this time. Besides, this topic was originally provoked by me anyways.

“It doesn’t matter what I want to listen to, what matters is whether there will be some form of compensation tonight?” Yue Yang exclaimed that he was benevolent and forgiving, always thinking about the future rather than lamenting about the past.

“If there isn’t a Kitty sitting on your lap tonight, I’ll consider it,” Princess Qian Qian Yu snorted.

“Actually, that was an accident. She was tired from practising,and wanted to go to soak in a hot bath to wash off her exhaustion. However, you should know that there was still a pitiful me who was waiting for a certain heartless Princess that verbally agreed but never made it to an appointment, “Yue Yang smiled as he thought that the face of a jealous Tigress was adorable.

“No matter what, she still sat on your lap,” Princess Qian Qian felt that the process was not important and the result was exactly what she saw.

“You don’t mind the lttle slave, so why do you start overturning your vinegar jar[2] when it comes to Kitty? Didn’t you call her sister? Besides, she was so tired that things were not as they seemed yesterday. I just gave her a massage on her shoulders and her arms; there was absolutely nothing of the sort that you’re thinking about?” Yue Yang felt a little strange. Before he pushed down Drunken Cat Yu Jie, Princess Qian Qian and the others always cheered and helped secretly by trying to make it happen, so why was she unhappy now?

T/L Note: [2] The act of becoming jealous.

“It doesn’t matter if you massaged her shoulders or something; it doesn’t even matter to me if you did anything with her last night— what matters was the fact that you whispered and plotted against a certain pitiful Princess last night. It seems a bit excessive, doesn’t it?” Princess Qian looked at Yue Yang like a judge looking at a thief, eager to see what kind of defences he could muster.

“There is absolutely no conspiracy,” Yue Yang shouted in injustice.

“I’ve heard it with my own ears, how dare you deny it?” Princess Qian Qian implied that the evidence was overwhelming and the culprit must plead guilty.

“Ah, what have you heard?” Yue Yang felt a little hot as he forgot that his Tigress had a talent for her sixth senses.

“For example, at some point, someone would help you out and take down a Princess who has been kept in the dark about the entire thing…” Princess Qian Qian gave Yue Yang a hint as she rolled her eyes coquettishly, “I really don’t know what sort of techniques you used! After a night of being eaten out, the originally bashful and loving Sister Ye instantly turns her back on us and aid in your schemes. You are to blame for this— the wonderful Sister Ye has now been changed by you!”

“Haha, successfully transforming Kitty is an achievement that I will forever be proud of in my life. Tigress, she is not malicious, she is just slightly more benevolent. She just wants to share the good things with you!” Yue Yang laughed wickedly.

“I’ll make you feel pain and pleasure, that’s what I’ll do!” Princess Qian Qian couldn’t bear it any longer and punched the kid away.

What does it mean to ‘take advantage but act innocent’?

This kid was the epitome of that!

***

Feng Ji rushed for three days and became more obedient towards the two ‘bosses’, Yue Yang and Princess Qian Qian. No matter how fast or how far he rode the Dromaeosaur, sometimes the two of them were already dozens of kilometres behind, but in the blink of an eye, they could catch up.

The long-legged Dromaeosaur had not recovered at first, but with sufficient food in the past few days, it had recovered 90% of the speed.

It’s speed was almost the same as flying.

However, the two bosses were willing to hold hands and fly leisurely in the sky, not a second faster nor a metre slower than the other. That kind of flight control could make many Heaven Ranked powerhouses smash their heads to the wall in an act of seeking death. The most terrifying thing was that sometimes, if the Master Titan and the Mistress were interested, they would run off to enjoy the scenery or have a picnic, where they would put a distance of hundreds of kilometres between them but catch up with one teleportation.

Possessing strong strength and learning to teleport was not considered a stupendous feat.

The problem was that due to the long-term melee, all kinds of abnormal energies permeate this Heavenly Splendour Territory. Plus, there were strange space laws in many places, so even their flights might not have turned out smoothly, let alone teleportation.

Besides, at a distance of several hundred kilometres, they were able to find a person’s precisely unparalleled precision. Then, ignoring the influence and constraints of the spatial energy, they instantly teleported.

What kind of control did this require?

Not mentioning any City Lords or Feudal Lords, even if it was the Country Lord, Feng Ji guessed that no one had such capabilities.

Could it be that the Master Titan who hired him was really a powerhouse that surpassed the strength of even the Country Lord? If that was true, then what was a strong man like him doing in the Heavenly Splendour Territory, which was already in a mess? This Master Tita was probably not a powerhouse invited by one of the three Domain Emperors to help out in the war, right?

Feng Ji made assumptions and hypotheses throughout the entire journey. However, curiosity can kill the cat, but the fact remains that there was no answer.

“Hiss!”

With its head held high and its long legs hurriedly running, it suddenly called out.

An enemy appeared? Feng Ji understood the abnormal reaction of his mount. There must be an enemy somewhere in front and the smell of the wind made it uneasy!

There shouldn’t be any Heaven Ranked Demon Beasts lurking nearby that could pose a threat to their safety, so could it be a warrior instead of a Demon Beast?

How could a powerful warrior appear here?

Strictly speaking, they were still within the scope of the Golden Sun City. This was the border intersection of the Golden Sun City, the Yang Ti City and also the three cities of the Red Forest. Mercenaries wouldn’t even come to these poor and slum-filled places if it weren’t for completing missions, let alone thieves and bandits to loot. Because if the band of thieves came here, maybe they would starve to death in such a dire place. So, if it was not a mercenary nor was it a thief, could it be an army?

The problem was that this was the rear instead of a chaotic area. Unless the Commander of the army was insane, it was impossible to drive soldiers to such a place.

Feng Ji hurriedly stopped the long-legged Dramaeosaur and stopped to wait for Yue Yang and Princess Qian Qian.

He was no longer the City Lord, but a guard.

So there was no need for him to make up his mind as his job was to report this kind of troubling matters to the higher-ups.

“Is something wrong? Why did you stop?” Yue Yang was chatting and laughing with Princess Qian Qian before he found that Feng Ji had stopped and stepped forward to ask.

“There seems to be an enemy in front as it smells a threatening scent. My guess is that there are enemies that are at the Heaven Ranks,” Feng Ji himself couldn’t understand why there were Heaven Ranked enemies here, so he was very puzzled.

“Now that you mention it, I can sense something strange as well. There are about less than a thousand people who are coming towards us. The source of maliciously murderous intent is also in that direction. The source of that intent is merely at the Heaven Ranked level? It seems that there are only one or two of them, so that is not considered a threat to be afraid of!” After hearing this, Princess Qian Qian used her Six Records to sense it. First, she looked at things from a distance before wrinkling her nose. Finally shaking her head, she indicated that she couldn’t see them clearly.

“Your Highness, you can see the enemy?” Feng Ji was so frightened that he couldn’t see the enemy even with his cat’s eyes. How could this Mistress, who was a Princess, actually see it?

“It’s not seeing with the eyes; it’s sensing. Forget it, I don’t want to explain,” Princess Qian Qian waved her hand.

In fact, she felt a tinge of regret in her heart despite the powerful ability of the Six Records.

But compared to the Spirit Domain that Xue Wu Xia cultivated in the Gates of Life and Death, there was still a great distance between the two abilities. If Xue Wu Xia held the Book of Truth, she would probably be able to ‘see’ how many enemies they were going up against and how strong they were. It was clear that her senses were much better than her own power of the Six Records. Due to the gap in ability, she was still unable to provide Yue Yang with accurate information.

It seemed that if she wanted to surpass Xue Wu Xia and become his greatest help, she would have to work hard and practice harder!

Princess Qian Qian was lamenting her own inadequacy, but she didn’t realise that her dissatisfaction with herself came off as frightening to Feng Ji when he nearly felt compelled to drop to his knees after listening to her declaration.

For a long time, Feng Ji’s ultimate pride was to have a pair of extraordinary Cat Eyes. These eyes could see farther than anyone else and were the most accurate! Even compared to the Eagle Eyes of the Eagle Clan, his ability was not inferior at all. Unexpectedly, his Mistress actually had a pair of eyes that were a hundred times stronger than his own. Before he could even see the shadows, she could already see the number of enemies and figure out that there were only two powerful Heaven Ranked enemies… What kind of eyes were those?

He really wanted to ask the Mistress about her origin clan. Was she from the legendary Heaven Eye Clan?

That’s not right either!

This princess doesn’t have a third eye at all and she didn’t look like someone from the Heaven Eye Clan!

“A very weak aura mixed with a very violent aura makes things rather puzzling. Well, let’s not guess, let’s go and see!” Yue Yang could also sense them to some extent, but before his Supreme Will was fully expanded, coupled with the fact that he was hiding his powers, his Heaven Eyes Transverse was unable to ‘see as clearly’ as the Six Records of the Princess. Besides, the distance was quite far, so he was a bit indifferent about trying to ‘see’ as well.

“It seems that there are still cries— cries of women and children!” Princess Qian Qian and Yue Yang glanced at each other before they sped up and flw ahead at the same time.

“…I can’t hear anything! We’re dozens of kilometres away and they hear the cries of women and children? This- what kind of hearing is this?” Feng Ji was now completely in admiration. Compared to Master Titan and Her Highness, the Princess, he was really a scumbag. No wonder that Fat Toad back then felt that he didn’t even have the qualifications to be a pathfinder!
