However, Ming Yu wasn't discouraged. He had already been forced into such a situation, what reason did he have to give up?
"There's no time to lose. The sooner we hurry to the Snow Moon City, the more opportunities there will be. This horse's speed is not fast enough, we can go there in the Wind Riding Carriage!"
As the name implied, the so-called Wind Wielding Carriage was pulled by a domesticated second level spirit rank beast, Wind Wielding Horses. The Wind Wielding Horse was light and agile, and its running speed was as fast as the wind. However, its body couldn't withstand any kind of pressure, so it wasn't suitable to be ridden, but could be used to pull a carriage.
In order to not attract attention, Ming Yu did not choose to ride a horse carriage in the Royal City. Instead, he spent an entire day and night on the road and arrived at the relatively sparsely populated fast moving relay station in Green Valley Town.
At this moment, it was the morning of the second day. There were many commoners waiting in the yellow sand of the Dashing Inn. Mingyu and Hei Ji were mixed in with them.
Not long after, with a rumbling sound, a huge carriage pulled by eight strong and sturdy Wind Riding Horses stopped at the side of the road.
The carriage was about ten meters long and seven or eight meters wide. It was made of several large pieces of wood. Although the surface of the carriage was stained with brown paint, there were still many places where the paint had fallen off, revealing the dark yellow pieces of broken wood.
In a small place like the Green Valley Town, the lack of warriors was already the limit for a martial artist at the third level of the Transcending Mortality Stage. And martial arts was the basis for a region's prosperity.
Therefore, it was already impressive that this carriage from Green Valley could run faster than ordinary horses. As for the environment of the carriage, no one cared about it at all.
At this moment, a thin, monkey-like coachman, Chang Yang, was sitting leisurely on the horse carriage, counting pieces of dirty Mo Yu. He tossed them into a sack at the side, and without even raising his head, he impatiently urged, "Next, which station should we go to?"
"Snowy Moon Inn." Ming Yu said.
As Ming Yu spoke, Chang Yang subconsciously raised his gaze and continued counting the money, but he seemed to discover … What did it seem to be wrong?
Raising his head, he saw the snow-white skin around Ming Yu and the jade-like Heiji. His eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets as he stood blankly in place for the space of a few breaths without uttering a single word.
Chang Yang finally reacted after a long while.
He looked at Ming Yu from head to toe, and realized that Ming Yu had a young face, but was just a kid. He had been a groom for so many years, and had encountered so many small and large incidents.
"Miss, please come up first. 500 inkstones are required to reach the Snowy Moon Inn, it's fine if you don't pay until you arrive."
Chang Yang spoke softly to the black robed girl until he saw her hesitate to enter the carriage. Then, he looked at Ming Yu and his expression hardened. "Stand here, you can come on later."
"What do you mean?" Ming Yu asked with a cold smile.
"Who cares what I mean. If you fall in love, why don't you go on with it? This is my carriage. I have the final say; I'm not going to f * ck off." Chang Yang's voice became colder and colder as he glared at Ming Yu.
His thoughts were very simple. As long as he finished checking the tickets of the few remaining people, he would simply ride the Wind Riding Carriage and shake off Mingyu. Once he arrived at the Snowy Moon Inn, wouldn't that beautiful woman just be at his mercy?
"Oh? "Then name a price, how much do you think it is? I can get on the carriage." Ming Yu calmly asked. He really didn't want to argue with an ant.
Chang Yang couldn't help but laugh. This brat was completely giving him an excuse to kill someone, so he indifferently said, "Five thousand inkjades."
Originally, even when they had reached the final destination, a single person would only be able to buy five hundred inkstones. Chang Yang directly opened his mouth and demanded ten times the price, not leaving even the slightest bit of face for Ming Yu.
He wasn't afraid that Ming Yu would cause trouble. He had the strength of a Second Stage Transcendent Mortal expert. The strength of five lions was not something to be reckoned with!
"Alright."
Ming Yu took out a Origin Gathering Pill from his storage bag and threw it at Chang Yang. "Take this, there's no need to look for it."
He then opened the door and entered the carriage.
The value of a Soul Gathering Pellet was 10,000 inkstones. Chang Yang had originally wanted to kill Ming Yu, but who would have thought that Ming Yu would be so disdainful that even giving him 5000 inkstones wouldn't hurt. This caused Chang Yang's expression to become awkward and unsightly.
Heh heh, you think you're amazing just because you have a little money in your family? Wait until we get to Snow Moon City, then I will strip you of all your money and that woman will be mine too!
While thinking, Chang Yang called out to the people behind him to pay. Not even ten minutes had passed, and with the sound of a whip, the Wind Wielding Horse galloped up and rolled up the yellow sand on the ground, and the horse carriage officially set off on its journey.
Originally, the reason why Ming Yu rode in this remote place and the crowd was to avoid being chased down by the Blood Servant. Everything was going according to Ming Yu's plan.
However, after sitting in the carriage for less than an hour, Hei Ji could no longer sit still.
The reason was simple, she was too eye-catching … Almost all the time, people were sizing her up.
The carriage's space was originally quite large, but thirty-two people had squeezed into it, making it rather crowded. Everyone sat in a circle outside the carriage, while Ming Yu and Hei Ji sat in a corner to the left.
In this hour, the gentle-looking middle-aged man sitting across from him had always looked at the scenery outside the window in a baffling manner before "accidentally" sweeping his gaze over Heiji's body. In the end, he would naturally look towards the ceiling, seeming to be thinking about something, going back and forth in a loop. It was unknown what philosophy of life he was thinking about.
The simple and honest young fellow sitting on the right felt around his body, and as if he had discovered that his wallet was missing, he kept looking towards the side of Blackie's snow-white legs, firmly believing that the money had fallen there.
As for the dark skinned second level Transcendent Mortal expert who sat on the right side of Blackie, he would often fall over to Blackie's side due to the shaking of the carriage.
"Ming Yu, quickly save me …" Blackie whispered in Mingyu's ear for help.
When she felt the gazes that made her tremble in fear, as well as the man who was pressing on her step by step, Blackie had already taken Mingyu's arm.
Hei Ji wished she could pull her entire body into Mingyu's embrace. Only by staying by her side and feeling Mingyu's warmth would she be able to find a sense of security.
"How?" At the same time, Ming Yu also whispered into Hei Ji's ear, "I'm not your person, so what if they see me?"
"You … Just say that you are my bodyguard, and they won't dare to look at me. " Hei Ji whispered.
Ming Yu couldn't help but laugh. "Is there such an ambiguous young miss with her arms tied around her guard?" "It seems like we're acting out a drama of a servant and a young miss running away. Interesting.
Hei Ji's beautiful big eyes rolled over at Ming Yu. "Tch, you think you're big sister's boyfriend? You wish. "
"Then don't hug me to prevent others from misunderstanding."
As Ming Yu spoke to break away, she was held even tighter by Heiji. The soft, full bosom of her chest was pressed tightly against Mingyu's large arm, making her lower her head, pursing her lips and saying softly, "... "No."
Mingyu and Hei Ji were like lovers whispering, flirting and joking, causing the surrounding people to feel their mouths dry and their hearts filled with jealousy. However, it was hard for them to say it out loud, so they could only silently eat their fake dog food.
"Clang!"
However, at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the front, followed by the Wind Wielding Horse letting out a hiss. In the next instant, the horse carriage suddenly came to a halt, shaking everyone's bodies, causing them to fall unsteadily to the ground.
"What happened?" Many people walked out of the horse carriage and discovered that they were in a lush forest. The weather was currently gloomy, and the forest, which did not have much sunlight, appeared even darker.
Everyone saw that in front of the Wind Rider, there was a huge grayish-brown rock. This was also the reason why the Wind Rider stopped.
Swoosh.
Several figures quickly gathered in front of the grayish brown rock.
The person in the lead was a bald man with a cultivation base at the third level of the Transcending Mortality Stage. He held a shiny long saber in his hand, and on his head was an extremely hideous scar.
And behind him followed several men who wore plain clothes and had ugly faces. Clearly, they were the subordinates of the leading man.
These people could tell at a glance that it was a bandit. However, how could they suddenly run into a bandit after traveling for so many times?
No one saw that at this moment, the coachman Chang Yang's face was deathly pale and cold sweat was seeping from his forehead.
Because of his conflict with Ming Yu, Chang Yang wanted to get to Snow Moon City as soon as possible so he could seize the beautiful woman and the money from Ming Yu. As such, he chose this shortcut.
He had already calculated that the bandits wouldn't be here today. As long as he left quickly, everything would be fine.
With the hope of succeeding, Chang Yang made his way there crazily. However, in the end, he still encountered the bandits.
It could be said that all the people in this carriage had been stopped by bandits, and they were all common culprits!
At that moment, the bald man who was standing in front of them bellowed, "All of you kneel down and take out the money!"
The mortals among the group without cultivation were all kneeling down in fear. Only those at the first and second level of the Transcending Mortality Stage were not willing to surrender.
Chang Yang's expression was also very ugly, but he suddenly had an idea. He ran in front of the bald man and said in a flattering manner, "Big brother, big brother, good good, this little one really doesn't have any money on me. How can you let this little one go? "This little one will tell you, there's a supreme beauty in our carriage. Is that really so beautiful? Big brother, if you don't mind, why don't you use it to enjoy yourself?"
"Oh?" The bald man became interested when he heard this. "If that little girl can make me feel good, then I'll let you go."
Chang Yang was so happy that he hurriedly nodded his head. He turned around and pointed at the nearby Heiji and said, "Didn't you hear the old man yell for you? Hurry up and get the hell over here! "
However, Hei Ji just stood at her original position without any intention of coming over. Ming Yu stood at the side, looking at Chang Yang with an indifferent expression, not saying a word.
Chang Yang didn't realize that Ming Yu's calm eyes already contained a trace of killing intent!
However, Ming Yu's silent demeanor, in the eyes of the other men, had already turned into something akin to a catastrophe that was about to befall them. He clearly had a beautiful woman like Blackie, but at the critical moment, this pretentious gigolo still hid behind the woman.
"I can't stand it anymore." The tanned man looked at Ming Yu contemptuously as he spoke in disappointment.
Another person stood up and said, "I can't watch this any longer either."
"I can't just ignore this matter!"
A total of three men all stepped forward and resolutely stood in front of Blackie, protecting her.
