Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 54 Oi Imp
"Yes, and it's not far from us."

Kong nodded in agreement.

"Not far from us? Great!"

Paimon danced with excitement.

All of her and the traveler's wealth was in the Dust Song Pot, and now it's all back.

"Traveler, shall we go get the Dust Song Pot?"

"Ah."

Now that I have sensed something, I should hurry and retrieve the Chen Ge Pot.

In addition to some food from Paimontun and the Mora earned by the two from working, there are also many weapons, relics and some props.

Judging from the edgeless sword that he had taken out in advance, each of them still had its original abilities in this world.

If the Chen Ge Pot was accidentally opened by someone during its loss, and those unique items were scattered across the Douluo Continent, Kong couldn't even imagine what the Douluo Continent would be like...

"Drive~"

At this moment, two carriages whizzed past on the official road on one side, scaring the surrounding people to get out of the way, and also attracted Xue Qinghe's attention.

"This carriage seems to belong to the Avalanche Mansion, right?"

Xue Qinghe watched the carriage disappear at the end of the official road in the blink of an eye. Its image overlapped with the carriage at his adopted brother's house in his mind.

In the Tiandou Empire, in order to highlight their unique status, nobles would add symbols of their identity to some things, whether it was clothing or some utensils, depending on their noble titles.

This is especially true for the royal family.

Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe looked towards Kong and said:

"Brother, since we are going out to look for that treasure, how about I call a carriage to take us there? This will not only speed up the journey, but also save us some effort."

"Well, then I'll trouble you, Your Highness."

Sora thought for a moment and nodded in thanks.

I'm so used to wandering around in Teyvat that I forgot there are any means of transportation here.

It’s not that there is no means of transportation in Teyvat, but Paimon and I have always traveled through mountains and rivers, so it is inconvenient to use transportation.

It looked like Xue Qinghe was determined to follow him and the others all the way, so it seemed a bit inappropriate to let the Crown Prince walk.

"Okay, then you guys wait for me for a moment."

After Xue Qinghe saw that everyone agreed, he walked a distance towards the city gate and waved his hand, and two city guards came over.

After Xue Qinghe had a brief conversation with them, the two of them hurried towards the city.

After a while, a special vehicle for the Prince's Mansion arrived at where they were.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency."

A carriage stopped in front of them and an older driver got off to ask for instructions.

"Brother, please."

Xue Qinghe nodded to the driver and raised his hand to signal Kong and others to get on the car.

"Your Highness, Coco, and Paimon, please go inside. I'll be outside so you can check the direction."

Kongke exchanged a few words and gestured for himself and the driver to sit outside.

"This, okay."

Xue Qinghe glanced at the driver with a hint of worry in his eyes, but thinking of Kong's ability, he simply agreed.

The carriage sped along, filling the sky with smoke and dust.

"Sir...why don't you go inside? It's windy and dusty outside."

Kong sat next to the driver, who seemed very nervous, with sweat on his palms as he held the reins.

"It's okay, uncle. Please turn right ahead."

Kong waved his hand. The dust was nothing compared to his journey.

"Yes……"

Seeing Kong still sitting peacefully beside him, the driver had no choice but to nod and continue driving. Passing through a village, Kong was constantly sensing the location of the Dust Song Pot and didn't notice a six or seven-year-old child crossing the main road ahead.

When he saw a carriage coming towards him, he was probably scared and just stood in the middle of the road without moving.

"Uu~!"

Seeing this, the driver immediately tightened the reins, but the speed was too fast. When the carriage was about to hit the child, a strong soul power suddenly burst out from the driver, and before the carriage could hit the child, he lifted the child up and fell to the side of the road.

"what happened?"

The carriage stopped, and Xue Qinghe and others sitting inside noticed something unusual and stuck their heads out to ask.

"It's okay, Your Highness. There was a child on the road just now. Luckily, you didn't hit him."

The driver looked back and replied with lingering fear.

"Where's the kid? Is he okay?"

Xue Qinghe frowned when he heard this, lifted the car curtain and walked out.

"I will go check it out right away."

"I will go with you."

Kong had come to his senses and followed the driver out of the car, heading towards the bushes on the roadside behind.

"Maomao, my child..."

As they approached, they discovered that the child was already in the arms of a plainly dressed woman, her weathered face full of worry.

"Mom, I'm fine, here~"

The child laughed and handed the small basket in his hand to the woman.

"Don't do this again, kid. You scared your mother to death."

The woman took the small basket and put it aside, feeling the little boy's body up and down, as if checking if he was injured.

"Okay, Mom, eat it while it's hot, otherwise it will get cold soon."

The little boy laughed and broke free from the woman's arms, opening the basket that she had been holding tightly in her arms. Inside was a few steaming buns and a plate of pickled mustard greens.

"Yeah, Maomao eats it too."

The woman took the steamed bun handed to her by the boy, touched the little boy's head with a smile, and seemed to sense something. She raised her head and looked at the two figures in front of her, and a look of panic suddenly appeared on her face.

"Hey, is your kid okay?"

The figures were the coachman and Kong. Seeing this, the coachman asked.

"Sir, I'm sorry. Maomao didn't mean it. Please have mercy on him..."

When the woman saw the man coming, she was startled and the steamed bun in her hand fell to the ground without her realizing it. She looked frightened and kept bowing and apologizing to the driver.

She knew that this was the noble lord in the carriage that had just sped past, and he must have come back to blame her and cause trouble.

The little boy also knew that the world was dangerous, so he immediately stood up and stood in front of the woman, spreading his hands to protect her from behind, and said with a ferocious look on his face:
"Don't bully my mother!"

"..."

The driver glanced at Kong, and when Kong nodded, he walked straight towards the two women.

Seeing the tall and strong coachman coming towards him, the little boy took a step back unconsciously, but thinking of his mother still behind him, he took a big step forward with a twisted face, his eyes full of hostility.

"Sir, please spare the child, he didn't mean it!"

Seeing this, the woman pulled the little boy into her arms, crying and apologizing continuously.

"...I came to see if the little brat was hurt."

Do I look so scary now?

The driver looked at the mother and child in front of him and muttered to himself.

"No, it's okay. Maomao is fine."

The woman thought that the nobleman in front of her was here to accuse her of something, but after hearing what the coachman said, she felt relieved.
