The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 901 Tang Miao
Shuzhou, Guangnan County, Jinli Village.

rustling...

A light drizzle fell into the quiet old Gong family house.

Several months ago, Zhao Chen and Qi Feimeng fought a fierce battle here against Zizhu, Xie Zhongchi and others who were chasing Ming Hongyue. As a result, most of the already dilapidated old house collapsed, and now there are only a few houses left that are still suitable for living.

Fortunately, the other houses in Jinli Village were also abandoned, and there were still quite a few habitable houses, so the group of female warriors at least had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

After arriving at Jinli Village through the "Dark Domain Passage," Zhao Chen did not have the three former military officers take them on an immediate journey. Firstly, the night roads outside Kyushu were dangerous, and they might encounter "strange things" at any time. Secondly, they had to wait for the heroine Tang Miao to "arrive."

Su Qingqing leaned against the somewhat dilapidated wooden door of a farmer's house, looked up at the night sky shrouded in dark clouds, and kept calculating with her fingers.

She looked to be in her mid-twenties, with a beautiful face, but upon closer inspection, one could see a strand of gray hair at her temples.

Just then, a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old braved the rain and came out of the house, asking with a mixture of anticipation and worry, "Sister Su, how are you?"

The girl's name was Huang Yu. She came from a small family in Kyushu. Originally, she only had the True Qi Realm cultivation level. However, after being kidnapped, she was forcibly elevated to the Magic Power Realm by pills in order to meet the requirements of "replenishing the body".

Because she was "sold" by her family to the Jade Toad Immortal, she was unwilling to go back after being rescued.

Huang Yu knew that Su Qingqing came from an extraordinary background, unlike her who was only at the "blank" level of magic power. Su Qingqing possessed many innate spells and even precious divination techniques, so Huang Yu had always been on good terms with her.

Su Qingqing finished her calculations and nodded, saying, "That 'prince' didn't lie to us. This is indeed the territory of Shu Prefecture, and it's not far from Jin Guan City."

Huang Yu guessed correctly. Su Qingqing came from a collateral branch of the Su family, a prominent family in Jizhou, but she ran away from home to enter Kyushu in order to escape a family marriage.

He was captured as soon as he entered the country and was subjected to humiliating "sexual energy extraction" for several years...

She didn't even know that she possessed a special physique; otherwise, she wouldn't have remained at the seventh level of magical power in her twenties if she had practiced cultivation techniques that matched her physique.

Now that her constitution has been broken and her foundation destroyed, she is too ashamed to go home and can only huddle together for warmth with a group of "sisters" who share the same fate...

A few days ago, the three elder brothers Fang, Wei, and Chu, who had saved them, returned and said that they had already pledged allegiance to the "Blood Sword Gentleman" who exposed the true faces of King Liang and Jade Toad Master. The latter then asked them to develop their influence in the three southwestern prefectures.

Although she knew that the "Blood Sword Gentleman" might be a so-called "prince" and had indeed helped them, Su Qingqing didn't really trust him and was always worried that her three older brothers had been deceived by him.

After all, the three elder brothers were most likely just "tools" for the emperor to deal with the Prince of Liang, and once they were no longer of use, they might be "destroyed"...

Fortunately, the worst didn't happen. That Young Master Chen really needs us to develop our influence in the Southwest!

As Su Qingqing's thoughts raced, Huang Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was young, she was shrewd and naturally worried that they had been tricked into coming here to handle things privately.

With her worries gone, Huang Yu regained the vitality of a young girl, and a smile spread across her fair and smooth face as she said, "In that case, it won't be long before we start running a gang."

"Sister Su, you'll be the pillar of everyone then, so you'll have to take care of me." The female cultivators who were with the three officers, Fang, Wei, and Chu, originally included two supernatural cultivators, but supernatural cultivators had much wider paths, and they were unwilling to go to the southwest to develop.

Once those two left, Su Qingqing, though not the woman with the highest cultivation level among the seven-stage cultivators, was the strongest in combat.

“You… although you advanced your magical power through pills, you are one of the few among us whose foundation is not completely destroyed. There are ways to make up for it, and your path is much brighter than mine, a cripple.” Su Qingqing sighed, then put away the numbness on her face and teased with a smile, “Don’t you secretly like Brother Chu? Instead of trying to please me here, why don’t you go and fawn over him?”

"Sister Su!" Huang Yu shook Su Qingqing's arm, protesting.

No matter how shrewd she was, she was still just a teenage girl. Even if she had been subjected to sexual exploitation without fully understanding what was happening, she would still feel shy about such matters. So she quickly changed the subject, saying, "I heard that Young Master Chen will send his female knight 'Tang Miao' to escort us to the southwest..."

"And that Lady Tang Miao, like you, Sister Su, comes from a prestigious family. I wonder if she'll be easy to talk to."

Tang Miao, the granddaughter of the Mu family in Jinzhou... I met her once when I was a child.

It's only been ten years since we last met, yet our circumstances have become worlds apart.

Just as Su Qingqing was lost in her memories with a sigh, Tang Miao, the heroine she now greatly admired, had just been "redeemed" by Zhao Chen and truly returned to Xuantian.

In reality, their experiences were not fundamentally different; both were caught shortly after leaving home, and Tang Miao was even passed around a bit more.

Inside the secret chamber of the Gong family's old mansion, as soon as Tang Miao regained consciousness, she bowed deeply to Zhao Chen in front of her and said, "Thank you, young master, for saving me from dire straits."

She was summoned by Zhao Chen from the "Starship" to fight many times. Although it was only a projection, it still had "memories"... She clearly remembered every thing she did for Zhao Chen.

"No need to be so polite, fairy, you've helped me a lot too," Zhao Chen waved his hand and said politely.

"No! Young master, you saved my life. If it weren't for you, I would probably have been sacrificed by the evil relatives of the 'Society of Stars'. This debt of gratitude cannot be repaid by helping a few times!" Tang Miao said "stubbornly".

She is a girl who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and she will always repay kindness and avenge wrongs.

"Well, I happen to have a task for you now..." Seeing this, Zhao Chen didn't stand on ceremony and immediately explained his arrangements for the rescued female warriors. He concluded by saying, "I should be going to the Southwest in a few months to take care of some things. Since you want to repay me, why don't you help their gang get back on track?"

“Young Master, you can just give me your orders, and I will do my best,” Tang Miao said resolutely.

It must be said that this personality is quite a good match for her "White Tiger Seven Constellations Blade," but her lack of experience in the martial world makes her easily tricked...

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Chen took out another talisman from his storage space and handed it to the other party, saying, "I'll give this to you for now to protect yourself. If you encounter danger or a problem that you can't handle, just activate it."

This talisman itself has little function. Its only effect after activation is to send a signal to the "Star Chariot". At that time, Zhao Chen can naturally use the "Great Sun Lamp" to remotely bestow a certain supernatural power or ability upon Tang Miao.
