The Geared Immortal

Chapter 279 - Defense Against The Demons 7

Into the border Part 1

/*unedited*/

A small airship is cruising at an altitude of a thousand kilometers above the ground and with a speed of around 500 kilometers per hour. Though the speed is almost half the speed of sound inside the airship everything feels calm.

Qian Li just looks at the clouds as it flew by under them.

Every now and then, she would take a glance at Shin Jiao as she felt that there is something between them. It is something she has sense ever since that night when her master woke up.

It seems that her master's action and words felt gentler and warm.

This is the thing she hadn't felt before. The indifference from before is now gone.

"Hey, do you want to eat something?" Shin Jiao suddenly asked as he stood up and walks towards a small tea table in the middle of the airship.

When Qian Li heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

"There it is, why is master doing this? Could… could it be that he… he likes me?" Qian Li thought as her mind felt a little confused and excited at the same time.

She nods her head and walks towards the small tea table.

Shin Jiao took out some food he packed and the two began to eat.

Thought Shin Jiao didn't need to consume this kind of simple food without any Qi or natural energy, it is still something that he is already used to and as a routine for him. However, Qian Li still needs to eat something as her cultivation level as a warrior is only at the level of a late-stage swordsman. Only when she reached the level of a master swordsman or a core refining realm cultivator can she skip the need to eat.

While the two are eating, they began to discuss their plans on where they can possibly go as they look at the map. Every now and then their eyes would meet and an awkward feeling between the two would start.

Shin Jiao could not help this as his heart is slowly being taken by the woman's kindness and beauty. But of course, he still has his reservation towards Qin Lou whom he has promised to return to.

The feelings between them have started to blossom as they interact more actively towards one another. The laughter, the silence, the awkward moments develop into something else.

On the fifth day of their travel, the two are looking at the sky in silence. The day has already ended and the activities they did that day have once again consolidated the feeling they have for each other. Shin Jiao is looking at the sun slowly descending towards the horizon as the background while he observes the silver-haired beautiful woman looking through the clouds with a smile on her impeccable beautiful face.

This scenery caught him unprepared as was dumbfounded. Although Shin Jiao is not someone who judges according to beauty, he could not deny to himself that Qian Li is one of the most beautiful women he has ever seen.

It is said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and right now, in his eyes, this is the truth.

Suddenly, Qian Li turns her gaze and caught her master looking at her with an enchanted look on his eyes. This made her suddenly blush in shyness. She never saw him like this before.

Although Qian Li knows that there is Qin Lou in Shin Jiao's heart, but as a woman, she could not help herself fall for an excellent man.

When the eyes of the two meets, her heart was truly captured by her master's enchanted gaze towards her.

"I… I don't care anymore. I have love master for a long time and have always stayed by his side… although I am wrong for hiding this from Sister Qin… but… but I… I want my master to feel this way for me too." Qian Li thought as she hardened her heart at this time.

She is now determined to say how she felt towards the man in her heart.

"Master I…"

Before she could say anything, soft and warm lips covered her small mouth.

Her mind immediately went blank.

This is the first time that she as a woman has been kissed. And her whole body immediately froze in disbelief. The sensation of their two lips touching together is something that she did not expect. Her heart is pumping too hard as if it wanted to jump out of her chest.

Shin Jiao shifted his position to savor the sweet lips of Qian Li. He never expected her fragrant breath and sweet lips to be different. As cultivators and a warrior, most of the impurities of the body have already been taken out and their bodies would always emit that sweet smell. And this sweet that Shin Jiao smells is already making him aroused.

Suddenly he can feel the heat on his lower part is already starting to develop as his crotch slowly hardens.

The two didn't separate for a while as they both savor the kiss. When Shin Jiao forcefully pries open Qian Li's lips, she was startled but didn't fight back. She let him do as he please which made the pleasure became intense.

Qian Li's body is already having a reaction that if they do not stop, who knows where this even would lead into.

Both of them slowly open their eyes and show contented smiles on their faces. Qian Li's face is now as red as a tomato as she could not help it. Her twin peaks are rising and falling like two large mounds which truly attracted Shin Jiao's attention. When she noticed his gaze towards her chest, she unconsciously covers it up.

"I'm… I'm sorry…" Shin Jiao unconsciously said.

This made Qian Li knit her brows. She didn't know why her master said sorry, is it for kissing her?

But before she could react more, Shin Jiao slowly touched her chin and planted another kiss on her lips.

Qian Li closed her eyes unconsciously as she has expected this to happen.

Without a word, Shin Jiao diverted his gaze towards the skies in front of them with a contented smile on his face. Then he suddenly feels a soft hand touching his from the side.

This made him smile a little wider.

The sun has already set in the horizon and darkness slowly blanketed the skies.

The two quietly seized every moment and savor the feeling of warmth in the air as their fingers are intertwined with each other, not thinking of other external thoughts or people. It was as if the world only contains the two of them inside that small airship.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Suddenly the beeping alarm went off from the airship which made the two woke up from their tranquil feeling.

Shin Jiao immediately noticed a fast approaching object from the airship's radar.

With a quick maneuver, he tilted the ship to the side and a flaming spear flew past them.

"Shit! An enemy attack!" Shin Jiao shouted as he immediately looks down.

And from there he saw around ten more flaming spears being launch towards them and he guided the airship to dodge those spears.

"That is guiding magic! Master, there is someone among them who knows how to use magic… a mage!" she said in a panic.

"Quickly strap on! We are already at the border!" Shin Jiao said as he too buckles his seatbelt and flew away from the area.

After 5 days of traveling straight at a really fast speed and consuming a lot of spirit stones, the two have already reached the border of the kingdom. As they were both entranced by their newfound feeling to each other, they have not noticed that they have already passed the so-called kingdom's border and have entered the Beastia land.

Under them, deep in the darkness lays a long line of temporary shelter for those beast clan people who escape the north. And what is shooting Shin Jiao's ship are powerful cultivators of beast-men.

Although everything is covered in darkness already, Shin Jiao has used his goggles to see through the darkness and see the situation down below.

Without a second thought, he immediately turned the airship around and went back to the border.

…

The border between the kingdom of Wu and the Beastia land is a long valley of flat ground. This valley is named the valley of death as it contains a large amount of death Qi.

And looking from his goggles, Shin Jiao can see many types of creatures lurking in the mist, and those creatures are only seen in one's nightmare.

"Master… this is the right place right?"

"Umm… I think this is a place where the Soul flower can be found."

"You need to stay here and watch the ship. You must not go down there okay?" Shin Jiao said as he stretches forth his hand and caresses the soft jade-like face of Qian Li.

Right now, worry can be seen deep within her eyes, but she would not do anything. She trusted her master and knows how strong her master is. So, she could only relent.

"I'll be back soon, okay." Shin Jiao said trying to calm Qian Li down.

"Wait!..."

Shin Jiao has already opened the door of the airship which is hovering just above the Death Valley. Then, Qian Li's figure slowly walks towards him and hugs him warmly. Her twin peaks hitting his chest made Shin Jiao feel a bit awkward and at the same time touched.

Without a word, Qian Li tiptoed and wanted to give him a peck. But Shin Jiao was faster as he held her small oval face in his hand and gave her a deep kiss which made her almost out of breath.

With a smile on his face, Shin Jiao jumps down the airship.

"I'll be here, master. I'll wait for you no matter what, so be safe.." She mutters to herself as if Shin Jiao is listening to her.
