All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me

Chapter 431 - 261: Everything About My Husband, Nan Ji, I Do Not Disdain_3

If one were to speak of beauty that could overthrow cities, she was surely it.

Gazing at her artless, captivatingly charming face, Su Bei felt his heart tremble violently. He held her waist tightly and swallowed hard.

"Ji Baoer... what did you call me?"

Her embroidered shoes tapped lightly. Her long, jade-like legs were like strokes in a painting. How could anyone resist embracing that slender waist as it swayed in the wind?

Ji Nanjue gently pushed him away. A rosy hue suffused her delicate neck, a blush that seemed to reach her very eyes.

"It’s nothing."

Su Bei quickly caught her as she tried to leave, his eyes brimming with excitement.

Caressing her cheeks with both hands, he gave those crimson lips a deep kiss.

"I heard it all!"

"Call me ’husband’ again, let me hear it?"

Ji Nanjue remained silent, her face flushed.

Just at that moment, soft footsteps approached from behind Su Bei and Ji Nanjue. Timidly...

"Um..."

Su Bei and Ji Nanjue hastily turned to see the girl gazing at them with a shy expression; she had clearly witnessed the entire scene.

Having grown up in the mountains her whole life, how could she have ever seen such a sight?

For a moment, she was caught, unsure whether to advance or retreat, not knowing what to say. She could only stand there stiffly.

Finally mustering her courage, she spoke softly, "Um, Immortal Elders, the fish is ready..."

Having said that, she hurriedly ran back into the house.

Su Bei and Ji Nanjue exchanged a smile.

"Let’s go, Ji Baoer."

"Time to eat fish..."

「Early morning, after a light rain.」

The sun had just begun to show half its face. The mist-wreathed harbor slowly awoke from its quietude. Across the tranquil expanse, only early-rising songbirds flitted about.

Li Zijun stepped out of the cabin, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she took in the sight before her.

Have we passed the Cang River?

From now on, until I reach Xiegu City, I will have to be constantly on guard.

Uncle Wang approached, grinning at Li Zijun. "Girl, we’ve finally crossed the Cang River. In just a few more days, we’ll reach Xiegu City..."

Li Zijun offered him a sweet smile.

One merchant fleet after another approached the wharf. Soon, a group of people walked over. The man in charge gave the fleets a cursory glance, channeled Spiritual Energy, and announced, "I am a manager from the Chu Family of Xiegu City, in charge of docking here."

Li Zijun glanced in that direction. That manager’s cultivation should be at Foundation Establishment.

However, for some reason, she seemed to feel a few faint, almost imperceptible gazes lingering on her.

Her brow furrowed slightly as she tightened the conical hat on her head.

The shopkeepers of the merchant ships flocked towards the Chu Family’s manager, faces full of obsequious smiles, bowing and scraping as they listened intently.

After some time, Li Zijun saw all the shopkeepers return. Then, she heard the shopkeeper of her own merchant fleet announce to everyone, "Um, the road at Diqian Cliff is under repair. Our convoy will take the Xiaofeng Cliff route to Xiegu City this time..."

It wasn’t just their fleet; it seemed all the merchant convoys had relayed this notice to their respective crews.

For some reason, Li Zijun’s eyelid twitched. She surveyed her surroundings.

Uncle Wang walked over, his face alight with obvious joy. He exclaimed, "Xiegu City is almost here! Looks like I’ll finally be able to go home for a few days..."

"It’s been a full two years."

"Girl, would you like to accompany Uncle Wang to my home as a guest? My daughter is about your age too, haha..."

Li Zijun tilted her head, considering. If I can reach Xiegu City safely, I should be fine once the Confucian School Disciples come to meet me.

She then nodded, revealing a pair of sweet dimples. "Then I’ll trouble Uncle Wang..."

Uncle Wang laughed heartily, feeling more elated than he had in a long time. He chatted animatedly with Li Zijun about his home.

In the shadows, several Disciples in robes quickly made their way to an upper room. They bowed their heads and reported, "Young Master, as per your instructions, we have directed all the merchant convoys towards Xiaofeng Cliff."

Chu Tiankuo sipped his tea and said indifferently, "Well done."

Then he waved them away. Gazing out the window, he murmured to himself, The daughter of the Confucian Sage, huh?

She really has some nerve. If anything were to go wrong, Xiegu City might be reduced to ashes...
