Chapter 431: Testing the Water
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“Cough…”
“That thing just pa.s.sed…”
“What was that?! Was it a spiritual boat or a spiritual artifact?!”
“No idea… It looks like a spiritual boat running on the ground, but not quite.”
“Who was that guy?!”
Everyone was full of questions, and the topic changed to the supercar that they had just seen.
“This guy… Who knows him?” Xun Yuan asked curiously.
“I don’t have the slightest idea…”
“He looks to be quite familiar with the little princess of the Jiang Family though?”
They talked among themselves animatedly.
While they were talking, a large group of people raced over on all kinds of mounts.
“The spiritual artifact went that way!” A white-robed young master rode over on a panting mount, and he was also feeling dizzy with the violent b.u.mping. “It’s… too… b.u.mpy. WTF? They told me that it would be steady!”
Before the car opened the top, it had reached a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour. Of course, it was b.u.mpy when they tried to chase after the car riding on demon beasts.
“Hurry! Follow it!”
“Slow… Slow down a bit! How can that thing be so fast?! Hey! It is slowing down! Go!”
“Stop! At least tell me where you bought this spiritual artifact!”
Dust rose again.
Nonplussed in the wind, Xun Yuan gestured to several servants and said, “Go and find out the ident.i.ty of that man.”
Xun Yuan looked thoughtful while Nangong Zhuo looked unreadable while sitting on his scaly demonic unicorn.
How can this thing be so awesome?!
As for the speed, the extremely powerful demon beast’s speed wouldn’t be slow.
However, no demon beast could move so steadily at such a high speed. In fact, almost no demon beast-drawn carriages equipped with arrays could achieve this.
With wind whistling past her ears, Jiang Xiaoyue had been a bit uneasy at first while her hair fluttered in the wind, but she soon relaxed completely and exclaimed at the sensation.
The big white deer lay on the soft backseat, not daring to raise its head.
“Boss!” Jiang Xiaoyue turned her head and exclaimed in surprise. “There are so many people following us!”
“Sit tight!” Mr. Fang laughed. “Buckle up your big white deer!”
“How do I put the seat belt on Little Bell?” Jiang Xiaoyue looked at her little hands, and she couldn’t reach the deer.
“Move the seat belt with your qi!”
Snap! The big white deer got buckled up on the back seat.
Swoos.h.!.+ Mr. Fang stepped hard on the gas pedal.
In the game, Mr. Fang dared to drive at a speed over 300 kilometers per hour as an ordinary man. With his current strength, he stepped on the gas and raced! ( B oxnovel.c om )
“My goodness! He is speeding up again?! How come it doesn’t get tired?!”
“How can a spiritual artifact be tired?”
“Can’t… can’t catch up!”
“I… I can’t do it anymore!”
“…”
Soon, the car had few followers.
Shortly, a blue shadow dashed to the door of Mr. Fang’s shop.
It almost parked before the door horizontally.
“How are my driving skills?” Smug, Mr. Fang killed the engine and opened the door.
“Superb!” Jiang Xiaoyue said excitedly, “It’s even better than in the game!”
“Aw…!” A pathetic cry came from the backseat.
“Oh! My Little Bell!” Jiang Xiaoyue immediately unbuckled it and saw the big white deer sway in the car with dizziness; it was just missing circling stars before its eyes.
Clang! It pa.s.sed out.
Obviously, its first experience in the car ride was very poor.
“Come out, guys! Help me move this creature inside!” Mr. Fang yelled outside the shop.
…
There was no garage in this world, but Mr. Fang could put the car in a storage spiritual artifact, which was very convenient.
Under his employees’ help, Mr. Fang carried the dumb deer to the lounge area and took the cup of milk tea Jiang Xiaoyue poured for him.
“This is your Sister Lanruo.” Mr. Fang introduced her to the beautiful girl beside him. “She is helping out in the shop and will go to school with you.”
“h.e.l.lo! Sister Lanruo!”
“This is Elder Li.” Mr. Fang pointed at the solemn old man on the side.
“This is Xin’er.” Mr. Fang pointed at the shy girl and said, “They are all new employees of this shop.”
“Oh…” While sipping the milk tea, Jiang Xiaoyue was a bit nonplussed. “Boss, how come you captured an elder as your employee…”
After Mr. Fang introduced these people to each other, the new and old employees got along well.
Of course, when Li Lanruo and the other two employees learned Xiaoyue’s background, they were speechless.
“Boss, what did you say?!” Their minds turned blank.
…
Meanwhile in the Jiuhua City, the customers created a group chat named the Legend of the Sword and Fairy Communication Group. The Legend of the Sword and Fairy 1 had been very popular, and the fanbase grew after the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 was released.
Jiang Xiaoyue: [I’ll manage the new group! I’ll pull new players into the group! They are new employees in this shop! They are brand-new! (Husky’s cute face)]
Liu Ningyun: [New players again? Let me see!]
Su Tianji: [My Legend of the Sword and Fairy is indeed super attractive. We have new members so soon?]
[Lanruo joined the group chat.]
[Li Wuya joined the group chat.]
[Little Xin’er joined the group chat.]
Jiang Xiaoyue: [Welcome the new members! ![?]()
]
Su Tianji: [New members, do you like Sister Long Kui? Red Kui or Blue Kui? ![?]()
]
[TL Note: In the game, a female lead, Long Kui, has two personalities. One has red hair and is aggressive, and the other has blue hair and is gentle.]
This question drew out many girls who were staying low in the group.
Ning Bi: [Red Kui is good.]
Jiang Xiaoyue: [I like Blue Kui! Sister Blue Kui is the best!]
Dong Qingli: [Don’t you like Xue Jian? I think Xue Jian is so adorable!]
[TL Note: Xue Jian is another female lead.]
Song Qingfeng: [Are you all playing this game? I’m still playing Devil May Cry…]
“…”
They saw the messages in QQ group chat keep jumping up. “Ugh… Boss, there are so many people in the other shops?”
Li Lanruo was still not used to this. [They are so enthusiastic…]
Tentatively, she sent a message, “h.e.l.l, everyone… I like Xu Changqing…”
[TL Note: Xu Changqing is the second male lead in this game.]
Xichi Spiritual Master: [That young man is good. He’s knowledgeable and has good manners and high cultivation strength!] ( B oxnovel.c om )
Xu Zixin: [F*ck! Xu Changqing is so handsome!]
Lin Shao: [I think Xu Changqing is handsome too!]
“Ugh…” Nonplussed, Li Lanruo looked at Mr. Fang. “Shouldn’t we discuss sword techniques and spiritual spells here…?”
How come the discussion turned to another direction?!
…
– Meanwhile, in the Taiw.a.n.g Inn –
“It’s almost time… The exam of the Heavenly Academy is about to begin, right?” The dim candlelight shone on Nangong Zhuo’s big figure; his mild face looked a bit grim and desolate.
“Yes,” a man answered; he was wearing a black silk robe with patterns of cloud dragons and swords.
“The person from the Li Family will attend it too?”
“Yes.”
He snickered. “Although it isn’t convenient to make a move inside Yuanyang City, the rules of this year’s academy exam have changed; I’ll see how you can slip from my grasp this time.”
At this moment, the man whispered something to him.
“You mean…” Nangong Zhuo frowned. “The man who picked up the princess of the Jiang Family is the same one who appeared by the Li Family when Nangong Jiuwen got killed?”
His face turned strange, and his expression became thoughtful.
“Jiang Family…” He looked unreadable. “Before the sword slaves make their moves, they jumped out to protect him? Or is he a member of the Jiang Family?”
“Or… it’s just a coincidence?”
“Go and find out his relations.h.i.+p with the Jiang Family.”
He stroked his chin while cold glints appeared in his eyes. “Shall I test this guy?”
