Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 348 A Fleeting Glance

At this moment.

The old ox, however, mumbled something in a deep, gruff voice:

"It's no big deal, don't waste a bad woman..."

Li Qingyuan, Yue Qinghuan, and Wang Anran: "!!!"

Three pairs of eyes simultaneously turned to the old ox, their expressions clearly conveying the message:

Your taste is really strong!

Seeing this, the old ox smiled憨厚ly and quickly explained:

"Hehe, just kidding, just kidding, don't take it seriously."

at this time.

The middle-aged cultivator dressed as a scholar beside him also spoke up at the opportune moment, offering a heartfelt reminder:

"Brother, watch your words! How can the name of a fairy be treated lightly?"

"Be careful what you say, lest you bring unnecessary trouble upon yourself."

The reason he offered advice was that he felt he had a pleasant conversation with Li Qingyuan and the others, so he kindly offered some reminders.

......

However, he didn't finish his sentence.

A sharp and piercing sound pierced the air like a sword:

"What a loud tone!"

"How dare a mere warrior spout such nonsense and speak ill of the fairy? Is he tired of living?"

Clearly, this person had overheard the conversation between the old ox and the others, hence his sarcastic remarks, which were utterly merciless.

Its voice was high-pitched and extremely penetrating, instantly attracting the attention of the group of enthusiastic followers of Fairy Yunlan.

They swarmed in like locusts, surrounding Old Huangniu and the others, chattering and mocking them recklessly.

His words were full of blind worship of Fairy Yunlan and disdain for Old Ox and others.

"Hmph, don't you even know your own worth? How dare you point fingers at a fairy!"

"Exactly, why don't they take a piss and look at themselves in the mirror? Do they even deserve it?"

"What a fool! Aren't they afraid of biting off more than they can chew?"

"..."

However, this uproar did not last long.

As the crowd drew closer, the originally noisy sounds quietly subsided, as if suppressed by an invisible force.

This is because both Wang Anran and Yue Qinghuan were dressed up carefully today, without any attempt to conceal their identities.

Their beauty was already outstanding in the crowd, but the passersby had rushed by and hadn't had a chance to appreciate it properly.

Now, with so many eyes on them, their stunning good looks immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Those cultivators who were still shouting were immediately captivated by her beauty, and they were secretly amazed that such a beauty existed in the world.

......

Over the sky.

Fairy Yunlan noticed this scene, her brows furrowed slightly, and she looked down at her.

Suddenly.

Her gaze settled on the figure she found most repulsive—Wang Anran.

Her face instantly turned ashen, her heart filled with resentment, and she muttered to herself:

"That damned woman, how can she be so persistent!"

After saying this, her face turned pale, and she transformed into a streak of light, flying down onto a giant ship, unwilling to look at it again for fear of causing further trouble.

On the giant ship, young masters with beaming smiles greeted them.

Amidst laughter and chatter, the group entered the cabin, temporarily isolating themselves from the outside world's disturbances.

......

And below.

Yue Qinghuan and Wang Anran were clearly stunned for a moment; they had apparently forgotten about that...

The group wanted to keep a low profile, avoid the limelight, and simply stroll around leisurely.

Unexpectedly, her outstanding appearance made her the center of attention...

However, they were not afraid of anything anymore, as they were prepared to face whatever came their way.

So they waved to each other in a very natural and generous manner.

This move caused an uproar among the crowd.

Suddenly.

Someone recognized Yue Qinghuan and Wang Anran, and their exclamations were filled with even more fervor and admiration.

"Heavens! It's Fairy Qinghuan and Fairy Anran! I'm so lucky to see them here!"

"I have no regrets in this life! Fairy, please accept my bow!"

"Excuse me, let me get closer, even just to take a peek!"

"..."

The surrounding cultivators grew increasingly frenzied, their faces flushed, their eyes bloodshot, and they uttered all sorts of words of praise and admiration.

It seemed to break free from all constraints and rush straight towards them!

------

And this moment.

Li Qingyuan and the old ox transformed into sturdy bodyguards, bravely blocking the locust-like crowds around them.

Especially the old ox, whose body was as strong as a mountain and a full ten feet tall;

Like a moving door, it swept away the cultivators who tried to approach with overwhelming force!

That posture did indeed convey a sense of ease and comfort in driving away mosquitoes.

The group finally broke through the dense crowd and hurried away from the covered bridge, heading straight for the giant warship.

However, just as Li Qingyuan was about to step off the covered bridge!

In his haste, he glanced back and saw a figure in white gracefully stepping onto the bridge from the other side of the crowd.

That fleeting glance, though not enough for a close look, made Li Qingyuan's heart tremble violently, as if struck by something.

He was deeply shaken; could it be...?

Was that the person he longed for day and night?

He hurriedly turned around, wanting to get a clearer look;

But when I looked back, that person had already disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people...

------

Li Qingyuan stared wide-eyed and carefully scanned her surroundings again, but still couldn't find the figure in white.

After a moment, he shook his head and muttered to himself:

"Perhaps I'm mistaken; she should still be in seclusion cultivating right now..."

In Zhongzhou, the only person who could be considered his beloved was Su Yaoyue.

Logically speaking, Su Yaoyue had only awakened her physique and bloodline a few months ago, and should be immersed in seclusion at the moment.

What a coincidence that we've both ended up at this lantern festival!

"Could it be that I've been cultivating too diligently lately, causing my eyesight to become blurry?"

Li Qingyuan pondered to herself, then sighed again, followed by a self-deprecating laugh, "Perhaps it's because I'm lovesick that I'm like this..."

"What? What did you say?"

Yue Qinghuan asked in confusion, and seeing that Li Qingyuan was standing still, she urged, "What's wrong with you? Hurry up and go!"

at this time.

Seeing the cultivators rushing towards them from behind, all with fervent expressions, Wang Anran hurriedly urged them on:

"Stop dawdling, let's go! It'll be too late if we don't leave now!"

The old ox was even more excited and casually stopped several more cultivators who tried to approach.

They tossed them aside like trash, yelling as they did so:

"The battle was so exhilarating!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyuan and the other two were stunned. This guy really is a warmonger!

Afterwards, the group quickened their pace and hurriedly left the noisy place.
