The hooves of more than five hundred rhinodrake steeds from the archery academy and the Soul Mountain Sect thundered on the snowy ground. As soon as they went through a mountain pa.s.s out of the Heavenly Lake and was about to exit Mount Azure Dragon, he suddenly heard the yells of another group of people coming from far behind him. “Liqiang, Liqiang…!”

‘NEEEEIGHHH…!’

Yan Liqiang pulled Snowstorm Cloud’s reins and the steed came to an abrupt halt. He turned around and looked toward the mountain pa.s.s behind him, only to discover a group of more than ten people chasing after him across the snowy plains. The leader of the group was a rather fat man wearing a thick leather hat, riding on a majestic-looking gray rhinodrake steed. Since he was too fat, it seemed like he was having a rather hard time because the fat on his body jiggled as his steed galloped powerfully. This man was none other than Lu Peien.

Lu Beixin rode beside him on her flaming red rhinodrake steed, donned in a snowy white fur coat. A group of guards from the Lu Residence followed behind them, carrying weapons and bows on their backs.

Yan Liqiang didn’t expect the Lu Clan would be here too. A brilliant smile broke across his face when they saw the pair of brother and sister. He informed the person beside him before turning his steed around and riding swiftly toward the people from the Lu Clan. He rode several hundred meters and met the other party at the mountain pa.s.s.

“Sixth Brother, why are you here? I thought you were still in the Imperial Capital!” Yan Liqiang laughed heartily and was the first to speak.

“Hahaha, I’ve been here since the twelfth lunar month! When I returned to Gan Province and heard that you weren’t in Liuhe Town because you have gone to cultivate in seclusion for this duel, I left for Lan Province with Ninth Sister ahead of time. If I didn’t come this time, I would have missed out on Liqiang’s brilliant performance at the Heavenly Lake today and your moment of becoming the best archer in the northwestern region!” Lu Peien’s face was glowing as he laughed heartily.

When he finished speaking to Yan Liqiang, he turned his head to wink at Lu Beixin and purposely said, “Ninth Sister, haven’t you been worried about Liqiang? Why are you not speaking now that he’s in front of you?”

When Lu Peien mentioned Lu Beixin, Yan Liqiang’s gaze fell on her face. It had been a long time since they last met, and Lu Beixin seemed to have lost some weight. It was quite a heart-wrenching sight. However, she still looked unusually beautiful and graceful on her flaming red rhinodrake steed. Her white fur coat made the translucent skin underneath seem even more lovely and beautiful.

“Sixth Brother…!” The creamy skin on Lu Beixin’s cheeks was immediately tinted red. She shot a glare at her brother before s.h.i.+fting her embarra.s.sed gaze to Yan Liqiang. Their eyes met and Lu Beixin recalled everything that had happened between them. She clenched her teeth, then squeezed her steed’s abdomen and immediately rode past Yan Liqiang without saying anything to him.

Although Lu Beixin didn’t utter a word, the Psychic Serpent in Yan Liqiang’s body still fully exposed the lady’s thoughts to him. Yan Liqiang was stunned at first before warm feelings surged through him.

“This girl…” Lu Peien shook his head as he watched Lu Beixin’s figure that was moving further away from them. He sighed and spoke painfully, “Liqiang, you should’ve seen how this girl lived for the past one month after she found out you were going to duel with Cai Yingwu. She is really stubborn. I guess she inherited that from the Old Master…”

“Sixth Brother, I see that the Ninth Lady has lost a lot of weight. The road that lies ahead is dangerous as there are many wild beasts roaming about Mount Azure Dragon and nearby.

It’s not safe for her to ride ahead all alone. I’ll go and check up on her first, we’ll talk more later…” Yan Liqiang said, then immediately turned his steed around and chased after Lu Beixin.

Lu Peien wasn’t mad when he saw Yan Liqiang chase after Lu Beixin. He was merely taken aback before laughing happily…

Like a gust of wind, Lu Beixin rode past the people from the archery academy and the Soul Mountain Sect who were waiting at the side. A few seconds later, Yan Liqiang zoomed past them on his rhinodrake steed. s.h.i.+ Dafeng was about to whip his horse to catch up, but s.h.i.+ Changfeng suddenly spoke up. “Ahem… ahem… hold it right there, Dafeng. Let the headmaster go first, we’ll catch up slowly…”

“Huh? Why?” s.h.i.+ Dafeng scratched his head. He only understood when he saw Shen Teng giving him a strange look from the side while wagging his eyebrows. He smacked his own forehead, “Right, right! We’ll catch up with him slowly. Let Liqiang go ahead first, hahaha…!”

“Master s.h.i.+, is that lady an acquaintance of Lord Yan’s?” Wen Zhaolun asked.

“Haha, yes of course. They’ve known each other since long ago. The lady hails from Pingxi Prefecture too…!”

“Ooh, I see…” Wen Zhaolun suddenly chuckled too. “I guess we’ll catch up with him later then…”

Listening to the conversation around her, Yu Qing silently looked at Yan Liqiang who was chasing after Lu Beixin. She lowered her head to look at her own chest, then gazed into the distance while silently biting her lips…

…

Snowstorm Cloud seemed to have also felt Yan Liqiang’s intention. When they were quite far from the archery academy’s people, it sped up again to catch up with Lu Beixin.

Looking at Lu Beixin’s back, Yan Liqiang immediately leapt into the air from Snowstorm Cloud’s back. His figure flew several zhang across in midair before he firmly landed behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.Read more chapter on our vipnovel.com

Lu Beixin immediately yelped on her steed because she didn’t expect Yan Liqiang to be so bold. “What are you doing?!” Feeling rather embarra.s.sed, she screeched and then jabbed him with her right elbow.

Although Lu Beixin exerted quite an amount of force, she felt as though her elbow had connected with a bunch of cotton rather than Yan Liqiang’s lower abdomen. Before she could even react, she felt something tightening around her arms — she was in Yan Liqiang’s embrace! She then heard Yan Liqiang’s whisper in her ears. “You’ve lost weight…”

It was only three words, but all kinds of emotions suddenly welled up within Lu Beixin. She struggled for a bit while blus.h.i.+ng. “None of your business! Let go of me at once!”

Yan Liqiang didn’t release her. “The saddle of your rhinodrake steed is too small. The one on my Snowstorm Cloud is wider. Let me take you somewhere else…” While saying that, Yan Liqiang soared into the sky with Lu Beixin in his arms. She cried out in surprise, but they landed securely on Snowstorm Cloud’s wider saddle. Yan Liqiang was in front and Lu Beixin was behind him, looking as though she was the one holding Yan Liqiang now.

“What are you doing?!”

“Going back to Pingxi Prefecture, of course…!” Yan Liqiang shook the reins when he finished speaking, and Snowstorm Cloud started galloping across the snowy plains.

Lu Beixin was still struggling, but with decreasing intensity…
