After the carriage continued its course under the scorching sun of the desert and the sand winds.Bao Zhang bored to see only the desert, entered the carriage and sat in the seat in front of the two women.
There he leaned comfortably against the window and observed his mother Qiuyue and Honoka.
His mother, Qiuyue, seemed to be trying to start a conversation with Honoka, but Honoka remains silent and does not give many answers, which makes it difficult for Qiuyue to start a normal conversation with her.
Honoka has always been silent or responding with cold responses to strangers, just like the first time Bao Zhang met her, but this was because Honoka herself was shy and therefore the nervousness or shyness that she felt made her look like a cold person.
While Bao Zhang looked at them, he could not help admiring the beauties of these two women.
Then, she saw how her mother, Qiuyue, made secret gestures to him to come closer to her.
"Mm?"
Approaching, Bao Zhang sat next to his mother, then his mother approached and spoke with him secretly and in a low voice;
"Hey, Bao, is this girl your girlfriend?"
"* Cough * * cough * No, she"s just a friend ... for the moment ..." Bao Zhang replied, but leaving the last words alone for him.
"Mmm ~" Qiuyue looked at him with somewhat suspicious eyes.
Then Bao Zhang and Qiuyue continued talking for a while, but at one point Qiuyue mentioned something that made Bao Zhang curious.
She said; "Mm somehow, this girl is familiar to me, but I do not remember well, maybe she is the daughter of some of the elders, I do not know, I find her quite familiar"
"Mother met Honoka?"
Bao Zhang observed the beautiful girl who quietly read a book while occasionally adjusting her lenses.
Seeing this, Bao Zhang realized that he did not know much about this girl, he only knew that Honoka is a central disciple who was in the kingdom of the Middle Elemental Realm.
"Middle Elemental Realm?"
Bao Zhang then looked more attentively at Honoka and realized the Xuan energy that was weakly coming out of Honoka.
This energy Xuan that weakly left Honoka, although it was not much, had a greater pressure than Bao Zhang had detected the first time he met Honoka.
"Initial Spirit Realm? Did she manage to advance a more realm? "
Bao Zhang was slightly surprised by this, and could not help but look at Honoka with surprise since it had not been more than three weeks since he met her, and now she was already a superior realm.
"No doubt this girl is quite talented"
Honoka, who felt Bao Zhang looking at her, slightly turned her eyes away from the book and asked;
"What happens? Why are you looking at me with that silly face? "
"for nothing, miss. just I looking at her splendid body, her curves, and her beautiful b.u.t.t--"
"Your! Perverted!"
...
The carriage ride to the Zhuo kingdom would last four days.
During that time, Bao Zhang and the two girls occasionally held some other talks.
On the second day, after they had left the Sect.
A sandstorm began to form in the distance. In this desert, these sandstorms were known to almost always topple the caravans that every 2 years brought from the outside world new material for the External Medicine Pa.s.sage.
When Bao Zhang was preparing for his trip, the old man where he bought the carriage had recommended that he should buy something to cover the carriage from the sandstorms.
Seeing the sandstorm that was coming, Bao Zhang, being the man of the group, had to get off the carriage carrying a large bag.
He remembered that the old man in the store sold him this thing called "sand umbrella" although it did not look like an umbrella at all, rather it was a kind of thick canvas of several meters accompanied by a stick of hardened iron that could be stretched and lengthen depending on the size that is necessary to cover the carriage and then these sticks of irons should be nailed to the ground with a great force to a depth of 2 or 3 meters. This would probably be difficult for the cultivators who were in the "soul or earth realm", but for Bao Zhang who was at the end of the "soul realm," it was not difficult at all.
Although still, somehow this type of work also made Bao Zhang feel somewhat excited.
But everything changed when he went to work trying to place this so-called "sand umbrella", since each time he placed one end, the other one went out of place. Apart from the fact that the storm was getting closer, and with every wind that blew, it blew all the things that Bao Zhang brought with him.
The wind seemed not to want Bao Zhang finished his work.
Which caused Bao Zhang"s irritation to increase.
"f.u.c.k!" Bao Zhang cursed as he started to try to place the "sand umbrella" again, but the wind then increased several degrees and sent everything flying again.
...
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was relaxed and silent.
While Qiyue was having a refined tea, from time to time she looked at Honoka with curiosity unable to remember where she had seen her. But Qiuyue was also curious about the relations.h.i.+p this girl had with her beloved son, although her son had told her that she was only his friend, she could not help but suspect that there was probably more than friends.h.i.+p.
"Should I ask her what is her relations.h.i.+p with my son?"
Half doubtful, Qiuyue was about to talk when ...
* Boom! *
A loud explosion was heard outside.
Qiuyue immediately got up from her seat alarmed by what happened;
"Bao, are you okay!?"
Honoka also turned her gaze away from the book and tried to look out the window to see if she could find something but only the wind-driven sand could be seen.
While both girls waited a few seconds.
Qiuyue could not wait for Bao"s response and immediately headed for the door while his Xuan energy began to circulate inside her, preparing for any possible enemy attack.
But then she stopped.
"f.u.c.k! f.u.c.king wind!"
"..."
"..."
Both girls remained silent as they listened to Bao Zhang"s curses coming from outside.
Seeming to be struggling with the wind.
Both girls lowered their heads a little.
Qiuyue returned to her seat and tried to behave calmly while she returned to tea, but as the curses of Bao Zhang continued, she could not help but lower her head in embarra.s.sment at the behavior of her son.
While Honoka covered her face with her book and tried to contain her laugh.
