Chapter 2708 - Cold and Pure

Chapter 2708 Cold and Pure

Swoosh!A thousand miles away from where Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er were, a figure flew past. The figure belonged to Nangong Li who managed to escape using the Drifting Light and Shadow Talisman. He was the son of the current Clan Leader of the Nangong Clan in the capital of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. He was the Great Young Master of the Nangong Clan. A frightened expression could still be seen on his face as he thought to himself, ‘Who’s that flawless beauty? How can she be so strong? The two elders were yellow-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials, but with just her cold aura alone, she managed to freeze the two elders and kill them. She only used her Celestial Origin Energy to kill them and didn’t even use any Celestial Weapon!’

Nangong Li gulped audibly as he muttered to himself, “Generally, only a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial could instantly kill two yellow-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials at the same time without the need of a Celestial Weapon! That flawless beauty is actually so strong?” His burning flame of desire was instantly out as though an ice-cold bucket of cold water had been poured on him when he thought about Huan’er again.

When Nangong Li regained his senses, he looked around and discovered he was in a majestic mountain range. “Where’s this place? I have to find a place to hide first before sending a message to my father to send someone to escort me back.” He was not confident he could safely return to the capital of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom on his own. With his cultivation base, if he tried to go back alone, he might be killed by some robbers along the way. Therefore, he decided to look for a cave to hide in first. Then, he took out a Communication Celestial Talisman and infused his Celestial Origin Energy into it. It turned into a streak of light that flew in the direction of the capital of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom at lightning speed.

In the message, apart from asking his father to send men to escort him back, Nangong Li also briefly described the place he was in. He was not sure the direction he was in, but he was confident his father would be able to figure out his location based on the direction the Communication Celestial Talisman came from. After all, Communication Celestial Talismans only flew in a straight line.

As the son of the Clan Leader of the Nangong Clan, the Communication Celestial Talisman he possessed was inscribed by an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Therefore, the Communication Celestial Talisman’s speed was comparable to a common Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. It should arrive in the capital with no problems unless someone stronger than an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial deliberately stopped it.

...

Meanwhile, Huan’er, who was in Duan Ling Tian’s embrace, seemed to have woken up from her nap. She tapped his chest gently with her left hand and said with a smile, “Duan Ling Tian, although your body part here is harder than mine, it’s quite comfortable.” When she smiled, it was so charming that it seemed like a field of flowers was blooming.

Duan Ling Tian fell into a daze for a moment upon seeing her smile. He regained his senses when he felt a burning sensation in his lower body again when Huan’er repeatedly shifted her body against him, pushing her soft breasts against him.

‘What a seductive woman...’ Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and gently pushed her away. He was worried he would lose his self-control if she continued to move around in his embrace.

In fact, this was his first time being aroused by a woman in such a manner. He had always deliberately avoided other women after all. Now, with such a unique beauty leaning against him, it would have been abnormal if he had no reactions. Finally, he said, “Huan’er, let’s look around to see if there’s a town nearby. Let’s plan where to go once we find out where we’re at.”

“Okay, we’ll do as you say.” Huan’er slightly nodded. Since she was born, she had only met ten people, apart from her mother. Most importantly, she had killed all ten of them because she had been disgusted by their gazes. Only Duan Ling Tian’s gaze did not disgust her. Since he fulfilled the condition her mother had set for her to leave, she decided to follow him.

Huan’er had never been in the outside world. She knew not about the dangers of the world. In many ways, she was even more innocent than maidens who were protectively raised in their homes. At least, those maidens were aware of some of the rules of propriety. Since she had decided to follow Duan Ling Tian, apart from her mother, he had become her everything even if she knew nothing about friendship or love. She only knew Duan Ling Tian met the criteria her mother had set for her. For this reason, she would not let anyone harm him. Those who wanted to harm him deserved to die! This was also why she did not hesitate to kill those people from the Nangong clan!

At this moment, Huan’er was like a blank sheet of paper. As to what would be painted on the paper, it would depend on her experience and Duan Ling Tian’s guidance.

“Let’s go then,” Duan Ling Tian beckoned. Then, he flew into the air.

Huan’er followed very closely next to him as though she could bear to be separated from him for even a moment.

Duan Ling Tian could, naturally, feel Huan’er’s attachment to him, but he did not dwell on it because he knew she was just inexperienced and naive. After she gained more experience and learned about the ways of the world, she would learn about the differences between men and women and a sense of propriety. At that time, she would, naturally, know it was not appropriate for her to stick to him.

...

After a few days, Duan Ling Tian finally saw a city ahead of them. As soon as they entered the city, he bought an exquisite white veil for Huan’er. It was an opaque veil to cover her face to prevent others from being attracted to her looks. Nevertheless, even with the veil on, she still attracted many men’s gazes when she walked down the streets. Even some women were attracted by her beauty.

Huan’er followed closely beside Duan Ling Tian. When other people were around, her expression was not one of innocence, it was cold. She had an extremely unapproachable air about her with her cold expression and thin white robes. It made others feel ashamed and that she was extremely pure.

“Although that lady is wearing a veil, I can tell she’s great beauty based on her eyes and bearing.”

“Yes, I agree. Although I couldn’t see her face, I’m certain she’s not ugly.”

“Perhaps, she’s wearing a veil to conceal some flaws on her face? After all, women love to look beautiful. Why would she cover herself up if she’s really beautiful?”

“How I wish I can see what she looks like.”

Wherever Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er went, people in their surroundings would fall silent, in awe of Huan’er beauty. They would only start discussing among themselves once the duo had walked away. Most of them were attracted by Huan’er cold but pure temperament. Just from her beautiful eyes, most of them were certain she was beautiful.

At this moment, after Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er had just walked past a wide street, a voice rang from behind them. “Please wait for a moment!”

Huan’er did not seem to be aware of it until she discovered Duan Ling Tian had stopped and turned to look back. She followed suit.

The person who had called out to them was a young scholar who was holding a folded fan. He had a handsome appearance and a gentle smile on his face. However, there was a slight hint of wickedness in his smile that was contradictory to his scholarly and gentle appearance. An old man followed behind him.

Duan Ling Tian could tell the old man was no weaker than the two elders from the Nangong clan despite how ordinary the old man looked.

“Both of you aren’t locals, right?” The young scholar’s smile deepened. A hint of wickedness could still be seen in his smile. His eyes were mostly trained on Huan’er rather than Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian looked at the young scholar indifferently and asked, “Is there something you need?”

A hint of jealousy flickered in the young scholar’s eyes when he saw how close Huan’er was standing near Duan Ling Tian. He said with a smile, “Sir, I wonder if your companion would take off her veil? Of course, I’m willing to pay for it. If your companion is willing to remove her veil, I’m willing to pay each of you 10,000 prominent Celestial Stones just to have a look at her face.”
