The Ancient Rare Phoenix: Colourful Flames - Chapter 37
Few miles faraway from the Red Mist City
By the side of the road path, a child and a lady were sitting next to each other. The child looked extremely weary and exhausted yet the lady looked so refresh as if she just had a bath. The child was obviously Hou and the lady was Lily.
Instead of travelling through the carriage, Hou insisted to run so he could practise 9 Mirage Dash Step on the way however he couldn’t even control his body at all, always getting a face plant on the ground. After a week, he realised that he made a very big mistake by not travelling on the carriage. Thus he was very depress and distress about it.
After a while a carriage stopped in front them, a mid-20s youth peeked out his head then beckon them to enter to travel along.
Hou and Lily happily entered inside the carriage. There were 4 people already sitting there, 2 old-men, mid-20s youth from earlier and a lady. The old man next to lady had a long white beard, brown hair while wearing blue-white coloured stripe cloak, the other old man next to the youth was wearing green coloured cloak, the lady had a veil covered on her face and hide her body perfectly under her white cloak. Finally the mid-20s youth wearing red cloak who looked just like a scholar.
The mid-20s youth looked at them and elegantly introduced himself.
” Hello, my fellow cultivators, I am known as Fang Lao. We’re currently traveling toward Snow Silk City. If you like, we’ll gladly drop you on the way at the next city. ”
Instead of answering, Hou just scanned around the carriage then grinned at Fang Lao then arrogant sat. Lily too sat without saying anything. Leaving Fang Lao awkward. The old-man wearing green coloured cloak slightly flinch his eyebrows however didn’t dare to rebuke because he had already scanned their cultivation before they entered. He was just at Peak Stage Sky Origin Mortal while the lady over there was already Peak Stage Heavenly Origin Mortal. He quickly whispered something at Fang Lao who stopped looking at them.
For few hours, nobody said anything then after a while, Hou glanced at the lady with a veil for a moment before standing up. He glared at the Fang Lao and took out his dagger then slyly said.
” Shady pervert, peek at Lily again and I’ll cut your third leg. ”
” little friend, I do not know what you are talking about. ” said Fang Lao with his squeezed smile.
Hou turned his head at Lily then nodded before staring at Fang Lao. Lily understood everything just by his look, She quickly flashed and appeared in front Fang Lao before clutching him by the neck.
Both old-men and the lady was startled as It happen before they could react. While Fang Lao was very terrified yet didn’t even let out a shriek.
The old wearing green coloured cloak was extremely terrified and dejected because he knew what the real character of Fang Lao, a pervert who pretends to be a scholar. He didn’t think Fang Lao had the guts to dare to peek at the lady even after warning him about her. However he was still the young master he was supposed to protect. So he hurriedly got on his knee then said in a panicking voice.
” Senior, please show your mercy on young master Lao. It really won’t happen again at all. ”
” Young master, What do you want? ” Suddenly asked in a cold voice by the lady while glaring at Hou. As she already knew about Fang Lao and he really wasn’t peeking at all due to fear.
Hou gazed at her veil then said in arrogant tone. ” Take that damn veil off and come entertain me till we reach at the next city. ”
However the lady didn’t instead just coldly stared at him and said.
” Young master, Please do not bully the weak. Even though we’re weak right now. Our Clan isn’t weak enough to trampled by anyone. ”
Instead of replying to the lady, hou just glanced at Lily and said.
” Cut that shady pervert into pieces and also those both old men. ”
As soon as he said that, the lady removed her veil in a lightning fast then reluctantly walked over before standing in front him. Meanwhile Fang Lao and those old men really got goosebumps and terrified and dropped on their knees and hands, ready to beg for mercy.
When Lily saw that, she relaxed her body before sending a swift kick at the stomach of Fang Lao then returned back at her seat. While Fang Lao crouched down twitching in pain on the floor forcibly holding his wail.
Hou carefully observed the lady’s face whose beauty was almost comparable with Lily but he couldn’t see her whole body as she was wearing a baggy cloak hiding her body figure.
He put back his dagger then lied down his head on Lily’s lap while deliberately stretched his small legs at the lady. He cunningly said.
” Tell me about yourself and why you all are going to Snow Silk City? ”
The lady helplessly sat down beside him and started to massage him while she spoke about herself.
“My name is Hu Jiao, 21 years from Hu Clan, the 2nd strongest Clan in the Aurora City. Also the 3rd daughter of the grand elder. Last month i just broke through and reached Early Earth Origin Mortal Realm. I wanted a flying pet thus i begged my father to let me go to Snow Silk City. Coincidentally I met 2nd young master Lao who was also heading there so we decided to head together there. ”
” As us heading to Snow Silk City, It is because the city is the most famous city for all kinds of rare spirit beasts being auctioned in the Auction House in the entire Empire. ”
Hou slightly nodded and closed his eyes like deeply pondering something but was clearly faking it before decided to head there too.
” Ok, we’ll also go there. Don’t worry I’ll take care of you till we reach there. ”
While Hu Jiao could only bitterly smile at his shameless. The trio at the corner could only shudder and blame their luck for stopping the carriage for them.
During the whole journey Hou kept Hu Jiao by his side and enjoyed listening to her childhood experiences while bossing the trio like his lackeys to handle all the dangers like spirit beast and bandits which they faced something on their travel.
Finally after 3 weeks they appeared at the Aurora City. Hou watched at the hastily escaping carriage into the city before also slowly entering with Lily into the City.
