Chapter 765 Surprise Escorts

Resuming the rest of their journey outside of the spirit world, Shiro created herself a suit and mask so that she wouldn't be recognised. After all, even though she barely had any real threats in the world right now, she still didn't like the feeling of having her every move tracked.

Which was rather contradictory since everything she does draws attention.

Hiring a few adventurers to escort them to the resort, since they didn't have the teleport shrine, they were able to arrive without any problems.

Looking at the island resort, Shiro had to admit that it had rather impressive architecture. Out of all the man made places that she's been too in this life, this was one of the better looking ones.

"No wonder this was rated quite higher as a resort." Shiro mused as Nan Tian nodded his head.

"The facilities here are pretty good and it's a popular spot for couples. Men would have fun clearing dungeons with their girlfriends while the more mature ones would go to the heaven section and relax."

"You sound like you've been here before." Shiro raised her eyebrow.

"Mn I haven't. This is my first time. My subordinates had told me about it before." Nan Tian chuckled.

"Fair enough. So out of curiosity, have you actually done anything fun in the time you were at the sect? Like take a few holidays or did the old man make you do a bunch of work?" Shiro asked curiously.

"He did say that I should take a break but I haven't really taken one since there was always things to do. But I suppose I'm taking an extended break now haha. You should have seen the elders when I pushed my work load to them." Nan Tian chuckled softly.

"Is it because you're travelling around with me now?" Shiro asked.

"Mn. After the run in with a tier 6 last time, I feel like you'd run into more dangers if I don't keep an eye on you."

"Che, do I look that fragile to you." Shiro rolled her eyes.

"Yes."

"Oi. You want to be hit?" Shiro's smile twitched seeing Nan Tian's instant response.

"I'll pass considering your attack vapourised a mountain last time." He chuckled.

"Mn so was there anything worth checking out?" Shiro asked as they might as well have a look now that they're here.

"I don't know. I didn't pay attention." Nan Tian shrugged as Shiro stayed silent.

"Oh well, we'll have a look after finding the spirits."

Summoning Estrella by her side, Shiro asked if Iziuel and Nimue wanted to come out too.

Naturally, they wanted so Shiro summoned them by her side.

"Right then, do you want to lead the way? Or shall we go into the spirit world first. After all, I think they should have patrols inside the realm right?" Shiro asked.

"Mn I think so. But let me have a look around the place first." Estrella said as Shiro nodded her head.

"Normally I would do this on my own but since you know I'm an ex member, it might be a bit awkward on my own."

"That's true." Shiro nodded her head.

"Where to first then? If we can't find it by tomorrow I guess we'll have a bit of fun around this resort. No point leaving without trying it out." Shiro suggested.

"That's fine. There are only a few places that the spirits can be hiding so let's go."

Following behind Estrella, they circled around the resort and made their way towards the forest. There were a few people curious about their identity as Nan Tian still had his mask on. Seeing a man surrounded by beauties such as Nimue, Iziuel and Estrella, caused them to seethe with jealousy.

This only caused Shiro to roll her eyes since any of them could kick their asses if they made a move.

"How are the glares of anger and jealousy?" Shiro asked with a smug grin.

"I'm used to them. I had quite a few at the sect when I had my mask off." Nan Tian shrugged.

"Of course. One look and the guys might think their girlfriends will come running at you." Shiro laughed.

"Then their relationship is a bit rocky then isn't it?"

"Well even if it wasn't it would be tempting. You have the looks, the status and you're gentle too. Who would pass this up." Shiro shrugged.

"A few people I'd say."

"Meh they're blind." Shiro waved her hand.

"Right Attie?" Shiro smiled as Attie nodded his head.

"You always nod your head to everything your mum says. I haven't seen you say no yet." Nan Tian chuckled.

Hearing this, Attie only stuck his tongue out at Nan Tian before hugging Shiro. Giving him a provocative stare, a spark of lightning seemed to spark between the two.

"Don't be so childish. You know you're having a stare off with a child right?" Shiro raised her eyebrow.

"Fine. You win this time." Nan Tian said while he poked Attie's nose. Trying to fight back, Attie was unfortunately too slow to hit his finger.

Glaring at him with annoyance, Attie pouted in anger.

"Grow up strong so that you can beat him up ok?" Shiro spurred Attie on as he nodded his head.

"Pft are you raising my torturer?" Nan Tian laughed.

"Who knows. Maybe, maybe not." Shiro only shrugged and smirked.

Arriving at the forest after leaving the resort, both Shiro and Nan Tian immediately noticed a very small shift which seemed to be unnoticed by the spirits.

Narrowing her eyes, Shiro kept her attention on this feeling as they ventured further.

Circling around for a bit, they weren't able to find anything.

"Hm, we should come back tomorrow I guess." Estrella sighed.

"No need."

"Eh? Why?" Estrella tilted her head.

"Because they've been watching for a while now. From the moment we entered the forest I believe." Shiro smiled and called out.

Hearing nothing around her, she only rolled her eyes.

Snapping her fingers, ice chains erupted out of the ground and latched onto their invisible spectators.

Seeing the sudden appearance of what seemed to be spirits, Estrella was shocked that she wasn't able to detect them at all.

"Now then, who are you lot?" Shiro asked as she waved her hand, bringing all of them towards her.

Looking at the people that she had caught, Shiro spotted two male spirits and 3 female ones.

"Who are you!?" One of them asked back since they didn't expect her to be able to detect her when the other spirits didn't.

"Someone that's looking for the spirit capital I suppose. I was informed that I could find it on this island and it seems like they're right. After all, 5 escorts appeared." Shiro smiled. Naturally, they couldn't see this smile as she still had her mask on.

"We won't escort you at all!" One of them hissed.

"Are you sure?" Shiro laughed since they won't be the same once they realise her identity.

"Even if I die I won't show you where the capital is!"

Rolling her eyes, Estrella sighed.

"She's the new queen. I've brought her here since I believe that this was where the new capital is." Estrella said as the spirits froze in shock.

Removing her mask, Shiro had a smug grin on her face.

"So you won't show me even if you die huh?" She asked with chuckled.

"Errr…."

Seeing Shiro's beauty from up close, the man couldn't help but swallow his saliva nervously.

Watching the guy stare intently at Shiro, Nan Tian felt a little jealous as he glared at him.

Naturally, Shiro noticed this and couldn't help but roll her eyes at how childish he was being. The man was just looking at her face after all. Plenty of people do that.

"Don't scare the poor guy now. We still need them to show us the way." Shiro said as Nan Tian sighed and nodded his head.

"Anyways, will you be guiding us now?" Shiro turned back to the five captives."

"We will but how can you prove yourself to be the queen?" One of the girls asked.

"Like this."

Snapping her fingers, a black dress wrapped around her body as she activated her True Spirit Nature. Feeling the oppressiveness of her aura, the five understood that she was their queen.

Bowing toward her despite their current state, they watched as Shiro dismissed her True Spirit Nature.

"We apologise for our misconduct. It would be our honour to show you the way." The leader of the group said as Shiro nodded her head.

Dismissing the chains, Shiro helped the group up as they made their way towards where the spirit capital was.

Walking through the forest, the group couldn't help but glance back at Shiro occasionally as she would give them a small wave.

Seeing how nonchalant Shiro was, the group couldn't help but wonder what kind of queen was this relaxed. They had expected the spirit queen to be filled with majesty or something.

After walking for a while, they stopped.

"Are you sure you want a human to come with you?��� They asked.

"Mn, is there a problem?" Shiro nodded.

"Just a small one. Some of the spirits might not be as receptive. We have just sustained a large attack by the humans after all."
