Could it be that I am the cruel villain?-Chapter 845 - 482: Parting Ways

Whoosh—

With a sudden leap.

Completely ignoring the terrifying gravity of this Sealed Land, even the pervasive Blood Mist could not stop Ao Qing's massive body from soaring into the sky. Its wings spread wide, gliding through the heavens, and the eerie Blood Mist and poisonous miasma around it vanished in an instant when they approached the blue flames burning on its body.

It seemed as though in its eyes, the seal had no effect at all.

In just a few seconds, it disappeared from everyone's sight. It wouldn't lend a helping hand just because Jiang Feng encountered some difficulties. This time, it was purely because the two people from the Demon Clan had the Blood Food it desired, nothing more.

Unlike other rides or spiritual pets, strictly speaking, Ao Qing, this senior sister, was not domestically raised but always in a wild or semi-wild state. Compared with other Spiritual Beasts that are waited on hand and foot, Ao Qing always went out to forage for food on its own.

Whether it was the advancement of Cultivation Realm or the need for strong enough Blood and Flesh, it all depended on her own efforts.

Just as when instructing Jiang Feng, the same method was applied when Ao Qing was picked up and brought back to Swordmaster Peak. Although she was his senior sister, she was only responsible for guiding him, and any questions could be asked without reserve. But the cultivation realm and materials for Divine Weapons and Magical Treasures had to be earned through his own efforts.

With her status, she could casually provide Jiang Feng with a large batch of elixirs to enhance his strength, not just to elevate his realm, but also to solidify the Divine Soul, strengthen the body, or any variety of Divine Weapons and Magical Treasures.

If she was willing, she could outfit Jiang Feng from head to toe with treasures of the Earth Rank, but strangely enough... Mr. Jiang led a very frugal life.

Just like his senior sister Ao Qing, who was always out searching for food.

In a completely free-range state, thinking about it carefully, it seems that every piece of magical treasure and cultivation technique on Jiang Feng's body were acquired through his own means.

"How enviable."

"No wonder it's the steed of a Sword Immortal, tall and robust, handsome and elegant, imposing and majestic. Its nobility could probably rank among the top in the world today."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Jiang, since your master sent it to assist you, perhaps it is meant to become your support in the future."

"Despite some difference in realm, I guess in a decade or so, you'll catch up, and it's no wonder you don't value this Exotic Beast, alas."

Shaking his head.

Clearly, everyone was just fighting to the death for this Ancient Strange Beast, crazed and relentless, but unexpectedly, in a flash, no one's attention was on it anymore.

The whole creature seemed like a derailed water snake or a bloated eel, though their mouths were filled with envy, but Lei Chuyu's hands showed no sign of slowing. After overcoming great difficulties, she finally captured this Demon Beast and dutifully locked the heavily injured Kui Ying back inside.

Holding the Demon Trapping Cage firmly, Lei Chuyu complained verbally, but the visible joy on her face was undeniable. The others all offered their congratulations, and Lei Chuyu responded to each one with a return courtesy. She was already thinking about how to extend her gratitude upon returning to the sect.

"Who would have thought Young Master Jiang was so deeply hidden, had we known about the ace up your sleeve, we sisters wouldn't have needed to exert ourselves so much."

Lan Xuan'er joked playfully, and the others joined in the banter. This outing had truly been an eye-opener for them. Ordinarily, they had no chance to come into contact with a Spiritual Beast of such elite lineage, especially the young women.

Every one of them had eyes glowing, wishing they could jump up and hug Ao Qing, as girls naturally had a stronger appreciation for beauty. Though Jiang Feng was often bullied by this special senior sister, he could not deny that Ao Qing's appearance was indeed stunningly beautiful, especially when accompanied by girls for a ride on Ao Qing, which was a scene to behold.

No girl in this world could resist such temptation.

This was not something Jiang Feng said, but Cen Yueyue. Her reaction upon first meeting Ao Qing was identical to those in front of him. What was more important was Ao Qing's great affection for Cen Yueyue, not because Ao Qing was more fond of girls, but because of Cen Yueyue's scent.

And that scent was fire.

Cen Yueyue's Li Fire inherited from the Southern Border Divine Beast Fire Phoenix, while the Green Flame on Ao Qing originated from itself. It was a being equivalent to that Fire Phoenix; their superiority in bloodline was yet to be determined, mere differences in their cultivation realm.

Both experts in manipulating fire, both inheriting the supreme legacy, thus during their nearly month-long journey, whenever Ao Qing and Cen Yueyue took breaks, they would run off to some unknown corner to compete in fire duels, enjoying it immensely.

"Please, everyone, don't tease me anymore. How could I possibly be worthy of having senior sister... or master's ride."

Habitually correcting himself.

Inside the sect, he might address her as senior sister, but outwardly, he must call her Master. The generational hierarchy sounds a bit confusing, yet within the sect's records and the external rumors, Jiang Feng is indeed Liu Tangxi's disciple, reflecting the true nature of their relationship.

It's just that Liu Tangxi hasn't felt like she's that old yet, besides, she didn't want Jiang Feng to think of her as a master; she'd rather they be contemporaries, but rules must be adhered to when going out.

"It wasn't my intention to hide tricks and deliberately make things difficult for everyone." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"It's mostly because my senior sister is elusive and unpredictable, beyond my command, and listens only to my master, giving face to no one else."
