Chapter 865 458: Young Hero Ye Fan Takes the Initiative! If You Are a God, I Will Slay You!
Spring in Wangchun City always arrives earlier than in other places. You can tell this from the couples, both male and female, and male and male, who gather to admire the river scenery.
They gaze at each other tenderly, then turn to the picturesque landscape, their eyes filled with the spirit of spring.
Wangchun City is never short of river views, but now seventy percent of the charm of Wangchun's river scenery can be found here.
This canal was forcibly dug by human effort.
Because the river is wide and the water is calm, wild ducks have long been wandering in flocks, and the willows along the shore have sprouted green buds, swaying in the wind like the most enchanting women.
Those with business acumen had already launched their painted pleasure boats, and the brothel girls, whose businesses weren't doing so well, found themselves in high demand once on the boats.
Duan Yun and Feng Ling'er were drifting down on a small boat.
Feng Ling'er wore red clothing, but the Red Face Sword on her back was even more dazzling than her attire.
The girls on the painted pleasure boats had half their clothes off, ready to entice the handsome men aboard. But at the sight of Feng Ling'er, they frustratedly put their clothes back on, more properly than even respectable families would.
The main reason was that the woman with the sword on the boat was too radiant, making them all look drab and dull by comparison.
"Could she be here to cause trouble?"
The guests who were having a good time on the boat saw Duan Yun and Feng Ling'er, and when they turned back to the girls they had called, they suddenly found them unattractive.
Just then, there was a splash, and the small boat suddenly lifted its bow, speeding forward with astonishing swiftness, sending up a spray of water and drawing exclamations.
"Wow, a master!"
"This must be at least decades of power!"
"But they look just around twenty."
"Just like me, looking youthful."
...
Duan Yun channeled his True Qi, and under the influence, the small boat sprinted like an arrow, breaking through waves with the wind.
With a swoosh, a bend appeared in the river ahead, and Duan Yun turned his True Qi, causing the entire boat to drift across, raising water spray and gusts of wind.
The gusts swept across the riverbank, lifting a woman's skirt onto her face, causing her to scream.
Meanwhile, Feng Ling'er toppled into Duan Yun's arms, exclaiming, "You're so fast, you're so bad!"
After admiring the scenery of the canal, Duan Yun and Feng Ling'er disembarked.
The moment they stepped ashore, the small boat exploded into pieces with a crack.
Using a small wooden boat like a speedboat, with occasional drifts—it was impressive it lasted till now.
Duan Yun extended his hand, activated the Beiming Divine Skill, and collected the boat's fragments into his hand, forming a bundle which he then gifted to a farmer for firewood.
Caring for the canal environment is everyone's responsibility.
Duan Yun's outing with Feng Ling'er was not just for the river scenery; it was merely their starting point.
They were setting out on a long journey to kill the Thunder God and Mother.
Where the Thunder God and Mother might be, Duan Yun still didn't know.
But he wasn't entirely clueless.
"If you were being pursued and gravely injured, where would you run?" Duan Yun once asked.
"Home," the Murong brothers replied.
If there was any place in the world the Thunder God and Mother could call home, it would undoubtedly be in Leizhou.
The "blade seed" of Ten-layered Spring Rain that Duan Yun planted inside the Thunder God and Mother, adapted from the "Jade Sword" in Jade Sword True Understanding, should detect her presence once he was within a certain range.
Thus, he decided to take a stroll through Leizhou, while seeming to increase the range of the "blade seed sensing."
In this situation, riding Little Yin or Lei Ying would be best, but unfortunately, both were out to kill the Turtle Woman.
Regarding his traveling companion, Duan Yun's first thought was naturally of Xiatou Ying, who could fly with him.
But once again, Feng Ling'er volunteered.
Feng Ling'er had her own reasons. She was managing all the affairs of the city and was practically the City Lord; such burdens couldn't always fall on her, they should be rotated.
Shen Ying, having lain stiff in the coffin for so long, should be her turn to take on this task.
Shen Ying mocked, "Can you fly? If you can fly, then go."
Unexpectedly, Feng Ling'er indeed could fly.
Feng Ling'er suddenly had a green glint in her eyes, and as her hair flew upwards, it stretched out, shooting skyward in tufts.
As her hair shot upward, so did she, truly flying.
She flew quickly and steadily, leaving even Shen Ying conceding admiration.
Shen Ying couldn't help but think this upward-flying method using hair seemed to have borrowed from her silken thread flying technique, but Brother Murong thought of another sister, Fu Wanjun.
She was the one known as the "White-haired Witch."
And now Feng Ling'er shared a unique resemblance to her.
Originally a "Flower Fanatic Red Face," she now added the "White-haired Witch" moniker, hinting at madness upon madness, causing Brother Murong some fear of her extremity.
"What's happened to my sister lately to shock her like this?"
With Feng Ling'er flying, Shen Ying couldn't speak against it anymore.
Thus, the one who journeyed with Duan Yun was the Flower Fanatic Red Face, Feng Ling'er.
...
Leizhou, where the snow-capped mountains remain eternally unchanged.
Spring arrives later here, with vast expanses of grasslands yet to turn green as streams formed by melting snow emit a chill.
Duan Yun and Feng Ling'er rode horses across the grassland, feeling the majestic openness lifting their spirits.
This was indeed a sight not commonly seen in the provinces of Yun and Yu.
For a moment, Duan Yun and Feng Ling'er felt that growing up in such an environment would surely broaden one's mind.
