"Yang Yan, what are you doing?"

[Upon hearing the crying, a sharp shout suddenly rang out from outside the carriage, followed by the curtain being flung open and a figure rushing into the compartment.]

Seeing your pitiful and wretched appearance, the newcomer stepped forward and shielded you behind him, glaring angrily at the man in the blue robe.

You still lowered your eyes and sobbed softly, your divine sense taking in everything around you.

[A little girl in a pink dress barged in; she was only at the second level of Qi Refining, and her face still held a hint of childishness.]

There were two other cultivators outside the carriage, both at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. The man in the blue robe in front of them had the highest cultivation level, but he had only just reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

【"long..."】

"Why are you always so suspicious? This girl is clearly just a mortal. Just because she's prettier, you keep trying to pick a fight with her?"

Before he could finish speaking, the girl launched into a barrage of questions that left the man speechless.

"Brother Yang, you're too nervous."

Just then, a voice echoed from outside the car.

The man swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He wanted to say that it wasn't just her good looks, but also the abnormality of her injuries.

After a moment of silence, the man cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards you.

"I apologize, young lady. I apologize for my rudeness."

You then stopped crying, cautiously reached out, tugged at the hem of the girl's dress, and whispered:

"This...sister, it has nothing to do with the young master. It's just that Qianqian misses her father and mother."

You look a bit older than the girl, but that "sister" touched her heart.

Seeing that your face was still pale, she quickly and carefully helped you lie down again, patted your small, unassuming chest, and said heartily:

"Don't worry, we won't stand by and watch someone die."

"Thank you, sister~"

You subtly shifted your body, comfortably leaning against the girl's chest, your bright eyes filled with trust.

Judging from the current situation, this woman's status is likely the most special. Clinging to her goodwill now will make it easier for you to act opportunistically later.

A stunningly beautiful woman, her clothes half-open, lay in his arms with a look of dependence on him. Two suspicious blushes appeared on the girl's delicate face, and she murmured for a long time, unsure of what to say.

The carriage moved forward at a leisurely pace, and soon evening arrived.

After some conversation, you've pretty much figured out their background.

The group came from a city called Bailu City. The girl in the pink dress was named Bai Youyou, the city lord's daughter, while the other three were his disciples.

The Nine Realms Continent is divided into nine provinces. Currently, five provinces are occupied by humans, while four have fallen into the hands of demons. However, the remaining demon forces have almost entirely retreated to human territory.

Of these five states, two are largely controlled by the four great immortal dynasties. Xuanhuang State is one of them, jointly governed by the Tianfeng and Zixiao dynasties.

As for forces within the Xuanhuang Territory such as the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect and the Joyful Union Sect, they only managed to secure a place because of their deep foundations.

To put it bluntly—the forces behind them have provided the Immortal Dynasty with a great deal of benefits.

[Bai Lu City was an ordinary cultivator city under the rule of the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty.]

"Sister, do you immortals also go out to do business?"

[By the campfire, you blinked your innocent-looking big eyes, nestled against Bai Youyou with adoration.]

"Hehe~!"

The girl is completely charmed by you; she's acting like a boss, even ruffling your hair and saying with her nose in the air:

"We're not going out to do business, but..."

【"long!"】

Yang Yan, who was not far away, frowned and suddenly interrupted.

【"snort!"】

Bai Youyou snorted coldly, but stopped talking and didn't continue.

The atmosphere froze instantly. Your eyes flickered slightly, and the next moment, tears streamed down your face.

"I'm sorry, Sister Bai, I...did I say something wrong?"

"How could that be? There are just some things I can't say."

Upon hearing this, you burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably, as if you were about to pass away at any moment.

"Waaaah~ I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask. I just remembered my father and mother. They were both killed by bandits while they were traveling as merchants..."

This really broke Bai Youyou's heart. Having grown up under the care of others, she thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of protecting others, especially when the object of her affections was a stunningly beautiful woman.

[So she glared fiercely at the man in the blue robe not far away:]

"Yang Yan, apologize!"

"No, it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with Young Master Yang."

You quickly reached out to stop her, but Bai Youyou pulled you into her arms.

The other two male cultivators looked at Yang Yan with strange expressions, after all, these two were engaged.

The man in the blue robe stiffened, his hands clenched into fists hidden in his sleeves. Seeing Bai Youyou's unwavering stance, he felt a surge of frustration and helplessness.

【"sorry."】

After saying that, he got up and walked straight towards the riverbank not far away.

"Sister Bai, Young Master Yang, he..."

"Ignore him. It's like the whole world should listen to him."

Bai Youyou snorted coldly, but you keenly sensed the unusual atmosphere between the two.

[At that moment, out of the corner of your eye, you glanced at the campfire and saw one of the burly men subtly observing you. You smiled slightly and fell silent.]

Night is falling.

You and Bai Youyou are arranged to rest in the carriage, while the other three take turns keeping watch.

[Your spiritual sense far surpasses that of the others present; you are aware of every movement outside the car.]

[Until Yang Yan entered meditation, the male cultivator with ulterior motives climbed the nearby low slope. You glanced sideways at the sleeping girl beside you, then with a flicker, silently disappeared into the night.]

【Click~】

A crisp sound came from the darkness.

Just as the man was about to sound the alarm, he noticed a slender figure walking towards him from below the low slope.

"Miss Qianqian?"

He instinctively lowered his voice.

【"Yay~"】

You first let out a soft exclamation, then gazed up at him for a moment before gently touching your chest. You then slowly approached him and bowed slightly in greeting.

"So it's Young Master Zhao Yue~"

【"Gulp~"】

The faint sound of swallowing was especially clear in the quiet night.

You seemed not to hear me, and only after a long silence did you look up at the man.

[...This guy was staring at your chest, completely lost in thought.]

【waste!】

You cursed silently in your heart.

But the next second, your cheeks flushed red at a visible speed, you gave him a reproachful look, and said in a sweet voice:

"Young Master Zhao, what are you looking at?"

Under the moonlight, Zhao Yue seemed to see a seductive enchantress extending a warm invitation to him...
