Where is the righteous fairy we were promised?

"I thought you were too engrossed in your dream..."

"Even if a red-eyed griffin rushes in and eats me, I don't want to wake up."

Lin Wanqing was completely sobered up by Jiang Ning's teasing and was about to angrily rebuke him.

However, the piercing roar of the demonic bird came from outside the airship once again.

"Wow—"

Lin Wanqing's expression changed, and she immediately abandoned her intention to argue with Jiang Ning, and hurriedly went to the window.

The next moment, the massive, monstrous bird came into Lin Wanqing's view.

The enormous demonic bird flew in front of the two of them.

It has the head of an eagle and the body of a lion, with broad wings.

His muscles were bulging and knotted, making him appear exceptionally ferocious.

Its body was also filled with the majestic aura of a peak first-tier cultivator, causing wind and rain to rise.

At this moment, the crimson-eyed griffin was greedily staring at the two people inside the airship, its eyes filled with bloodlust.

However, because the surface of the flying boat is covered with protective arrays, it cannot be forcibly broken through.

They could only circle around and follow from the outside, occasionally unleashing wind blade spells in an attempt to break the flying boat.

"Fortunately, it's just a first-tier demonic bird, equivalent to the peak of Qi Refining."

Lin Wanqing quickly made a judgment and then breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, Lin Wanqing suddenly recalled the ambiguous scene in her dream.

She couldn't help but blush slightly, and secretly glanced at Jiang Ning beside her.

At this moment, Lin Wanqing felt a pang of inexplicable regret and couldn't help but mutter softly:

"Now... it's not cute at all."

"What did you say?"

Jiang Ning turned his head and glanced at her.

"What do you care what I say?"

Lin Wanqing glared fiercely at Jiang Ning.

Then pretend to be dissatisfied with him.

She turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

"Humph!"

"Fairy Lin, may I ask a question?"

Jiang Ning stood by the window, looking at the red-eyed griffin in front of him, a smile curving his lips.

Lin Wanqing turned her head at this moment, but did not want to look at his face.

She just secretly rolled her eyes and said irritably:

"Since Fellow Daoist Jiang feels it is presumptuous, then it is best not to be presumptuous."

Jiang Ning pretended not to hear, turned to look at Lin Wanqing's stunning profile, and said with a smile:

"I don't know if it's just my imagination."

For some reason, I always feel that when Fairy Lin wakes up...

It seems she's harboring some inappropriate feelings for me?

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing's delicate body stiffened.

That elegant and refined face was instantly flushed with a blush.

But the next moment, Lin Wanqing glared at Jiang Ning with embarrassment and anger, and said somewhat guiltily:

"What...what nonsense are you talking about!"

Jiang Ning shrugged, looking indifferent.

"Okay, then I'll pretend I was wrong."

"Of course you're wrong!"

Lin Wanqing was clearly agitated at this moment.

She tried to use feelings of shame and anger to mask her true feelings.

"Who would have such thoughts about you!"

"Alright, alright, it was my fault, Fairy Lin, please don't be agitated..."

"When did I get agitated?"

"Isn't Fairy Lin very excited right now?"

"I'm not excited!"

"There's none?"

"no!"

Jiang Ning looked at Lin Wanqing with an ambiguous expression, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Okay, if you say no, then no."

Lin Wanqing noticed that Jiang Ning was looking at her with that kind of gaze.

At that moment, the shame in her heart suddenly became extremely intense.

The usually calm and rational Fairy Lin was now rather embarrassed and angry.

She stared intently into Jiang Ning's eyes and repeated fiercely:

"No no!"

"No!"

"Jiang Ning, did you hear me?!"

Jiang Ning hummed in agreement and turned to look at the red-eyed griffin outside.

"No."

"Um?!"

"I heard it, I heard it."

"Humph!"

Lin Wanqing snorted coldly.

She successfully denied the claim, completely dispelling Jiang Ning's suspicions.

Then, Lin Wanqing turned her head away and subconsciously touched her cheek with the back of her hand.

But it was only then that she belatedly realized...

My cheeks are so hot!

Lin Wanqing was already feeling guilty because Jiang Ning had exposed her thoughts.

At this moment, he was even more annoyed and wished he could leave Jiang Ning's side immediately and go outside to calm down using the Mind-Calming Technique.

However, Lin Wanqing suddenly remembered a very important question!

That is-

When exactly did Jiang Ning enter?

At that moment, a deep sense of unease welled up in Lin Wanqing's heart.

Did she talk in her sleep when she was dreaming?

Jiang Ning suddenly asked her that question just now...

Did they hear something?

Lin Wanqing secretly glanced at Jiang Ning, only to see him staring at the Crimson-Eyed Griffin outside, his brows furrowed tightly.

She felt embarrassed to ask Jiang Ning at this time.

After all, Jiang Ning didn't bring it up on his own initiative.

If she really said something she shouldn't have...

If she asks him now, wouldn't that make her seem guilty?

A young girl's thoughts are always complicated.

Lin Wanqing had clearly decided to downplay the matter and resolutely refused to ask about it.

But the more she kept quiet about it, the more conflicted she became.

For a moment, Lin Wanqing was in a state of utter confusion.

“Jiang…Jiang Ning, that…”

After hesitating for a while, Lin Wanqing decided to ask indirectly.

However, before she could even open her mouth, Jiang Ning suddenly said:

Shh...be quiet!

Lin Wanqing was taken aback upon hearing this.

But then, she immediately realized something was wrong.

Lin Wanqing quickly suppressed the complex emotions in her heart and used her divine sense to transmit her voice:

"What happened?"

Jiang Ning pointed to the red-eyed griffin outside, his brows furrowed.
