I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 286 Second Play with Xue Qinghe

Just as Ning Fengzhi was racking his brains about how to give it away for free, Xue Qinghe got off his carriage and came alone to Xiao Wuji's carriage. Then, he lightly jumped onto the carriage shaft.

Although Xue Qinghe's cultivation level was not high, he still possessed nearly level 40 soul power, making it easy for him to jump off the vehicle.

"Lingling is here too!"

Xue Qinghe glanced at the woman who had inexplicably followed Xiao Wuji. Though she had her doubts, she was more inclined to believe it was an investment by her elders. This was all too common among the nobility.

"Your Highness!" Ye Lingling greeted him coldly, then continued to concentrate on driving, seemingly indifferent to the Crown Prince.

Xue Qinghe didn't suspect much, because Ye Lingling's personality was just like that. She was a well-known cold beauty at the Tiandou Royal Academy. It's just a pity that she couldn't imagine how passionate this cold beauty was in Xiao Wuji's bed.

After greeting Ye Lingling, Xue Qinghe raised his hand and opened the carriage door. Ye Lingling ignored this, since Xiao Wuji had already instructed that the Crown Prince should not be stopped if he came.

Xue Qinghe pushed hard, and the car door opened a crack. Before she could see what was inside, the door bounced back, as if it had been blocked by something elastic.

Inside the carriage, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face was flushed, and her teeth were almost biting through the hem of her skirt. Xiao Wuji looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a smile, not allowing her to let go.

Xue Qinghe asked, somewhat puzzled, "Wuji, what are you doing in there? Why did you block the door?"

Xiao Wuji possessed powerful spiritual energy and had already sensed Xue Qinghe's approach, but he pretended to be unaware and said, "Oh, it's Brother Xue. I was cultivating at the time. What can I do for you?"

"Cultivation? You still want to cultivate with such a bumpy road?"

Xue Qinghe was seething with hatred for Xiao Wuji. Such a genius had to work so hard; did he even give anyone a chance to survive? No way! He absolutely couldn't be allowed to cultivate in peace.

"Wuji, open the door quickly and let me in!"

"Brother Xue, wait a moment, I'll finish my practice now!"

While Xiao Wuji was talking about hand techniques, his hands were moving faster and faster, and after a moment he had spread a layer of cream on Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong's ice cream.

Pfft!
Seeing the huge waste in the shoes, Zhu Zhuqing felt a sharp pain in her heart, and then, without caring about her image, she pounced on the cream popsicle and ate it in one bite.

After a while, Xiao Wuji finished tidying his clothes and gestured for Xiao Wu to open the car door.

The moment the car door opened, an indescribable odor rushed into Xue Qinghe's nostrils.

At first glance, it smelled a bit pungent, but to call it stinky was also somewhat intoxicating, making her unconsciously want to cross her legs. Upon closer inspection, it also smelled a little sweet, making her feel comfortable and relaxed.

Upon smelling the strange odor, Xue Qinghe frowned and said suspiciously, "Wuji, are you really cultivating? Why does the carriage smell so strange?"

Xiao Wuji feigned displeasure and said, "How could this be fake? What good would it do me to lie to you?"

Seeing Xiao Wuji's dissatisfaction and worried that the conversation would end quickly so that Xue Qinghe could continue watching others cultivate, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Wuji, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're too tense. You should relax a bit in this situation!"

"With your current strength, winning a Soul Master Tournament championship is a sure thing, isn't it?"

"Ugh!"

Xiao Wuji sighed speechlessly, "Originally, I participated in the competition for the soul bones, but now I don't need those two soul bones anymore. If I could withdraw from the competition midway, I would really like to go back and cultivate properly. It would be better than wasting time here."

Xue Qinghe comforted him, "Alright, Wuji, don't be sad. Just think of it as a trip. The scenery outside is so beautiful, why don't you say you want to go and take a look!"

"What are you looking at? Rocks and the Loess Plateau?"

"Uh..." Xue Qinghe was a little choked, but fortunately she reacted quickly, pointing to the back of the car and saying, "You can go and see the beauties at Tianshui Academy~ After all, opportunities to get up close like this are rare!"

"forget it!"

Xiao Wuji waved his hand to indicate that he was not interested in this, and bluntly said: "Now is not the time to think about women. When I am strong enough, let alone the Tianshui team, even if I want all the women in the Tianshui Academy, it will only be a matter of a word."

"Once my strength reaches a certain level, even the Pope of the Spirit Hall will have to obediently strip naked and crawl into my bed to beg for mercy, if I so choose."

Xue Qinghe sighed and said, "Wuji, no woman will like you if you're so domineering!"

"What do I care about liking them? As long as I'm happy, they have to like whoever I want them to like!"

Xiao Wuji grinned and continued, "Erlong, Xiaowu, go and make a good impression on our Crown Prince!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's expression immediately changed. He couldn't help but recall his romantic encounter with Dugu Yan, and subconsciously glanced at her.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked, because as soon as he did, Xiao Wuji caught him red-handed.

"So, our Crown Prince prefers Dugu Yan. Then you should come along too!"

Xue Qinghe hurriedly tried to jump out of the car, but Liu Erlong, who had an even more fiery temper, pulled him into the carriage, and then the three of them pressed down on him at the same time.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I'll guard the gate for you. You can play as long as you want, and no one will disturb your fun!"

After saying that, Xiao Wuji got up and led Zhu Zhuqing out of the carriage, then closed the door behind him.

"Moo—"

……

"Enemy attack!!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the front of the convoy. Xiao Wuji quickly jumped off the carriage and looked up at the mountains on both sides.

Hundreds of boulders are rolling down from both sides of the mountain, and many smaller boulders are being thrown down by people.

Xiao Wuji glanced at them and then paid no more attention; they were just rolling stones. Leaving aside the existence of the Royal Knights, the instructors leading the teams in the academy were all at least Soul Emperor level, and each team had a Soul Saint in charge. Breaking some boulders was a piece of cake for them.

In contrast, he was more concerned with protecting his carriage, which was the source of his happiness for the next few days. How could he be intimate with the beauties without it?

With a light tap of his right foot on the ground, Xiao Wuji's figure vanished instantly, leaving behind afterimages as he kicked the rolling stones away once more.

After he finished, Xiao Wuji turned around and shouted at the carriage, "Your Highness, enjoy yourself! I'll take care of these bandits outside!"

Inside the carriage, having just escaped from the broad embrace of Liu Erlong and the others, and about to run out to check the situation, he suddenly heard Xiao Wuji's roar. Before he could react, he was suppressed by Liu Erlong again.

To prevent Xue Qinghe from escaping, Xiao Wuji directly used his martial spirit to create a fortress, hardened it, and surrounded her.

Xue Qinghe, who was pressed down again, could only try her best to cover her upper and lower body with her hands to prevent her true gender from being discovered.
