Vol.2-Chapter 257 – Flying Boat

Song Rujing had changed from her pink dress to a blue and white daoist robe. Her daoist robe was not colorful and noble like the Ten Thousand Dao Sect’s robes.

Song Rujing’s daoist robe was exactly the same as Yuan Yixiu and Song Yuansheng’s, the only difference being that it was a lot smaller.

However, due to Song Rujing’s petite body, the daoist robe seemed a bit loose. In turn, this made Song Rujing look even more petite.

Seeing Xu Zhu, Ye Aotian, and Jiang Fuding leave, Zhao Jiuge stepped forward. He looked toward Song Yuansheng with a gaze asking if it was their turn to leave now.

Song Yuansheng faintly smiled and nodded. He pulled the sulking Song Rujing forward. The little girl still wouldn’t look at Zhao Jiuge. You can almost hang a coat on her mouth with how much she was pouting.

Ling Bo Re was wearing a plain-looking dress and was talking to Hua Lingsu about something. Even when facing her own teacher, she still had that cold expression.

Seeing that the three of them were waiting for her, Ling Bo Re nodded to her teacher and said a few final words. Then she walked toward them while holding her life flying sword. Zhao Jiuge could smell the fragrance coming from her body.

Song Yuansheng raised his hand and was about to take out his flying boat. Ling Bo Re saw this and quickly said, “Use mine.”

She ignored Song Yuansheng’s response and took out her own flying boat. There was a large fluctuation of spirit force and then a yellow flying boat appeared. It was similar to Xu Zhu’s, but it was much larger. It had more spirit patterns on it, and it was clearly of higher quality than Xu Zhu’s flying boat.

Ling Bo Re had a cold attitude and simply didn’t like using other people’s things. She didn’t want to ride with people she didn’t know either. However, the journey was far and they would be facing dangers even she had to be cautious of. She had to have unity with her companions, so after hesitating a bit, she allowed the three of them to ride her flying boat.

Zhao Jiuge didn’t think too much about it, but when he saw the similar movements, he couldn’t help but be startled. Could such a precious thing be so common that everyone had one? Then why didn’t he have one?

Song Yuansheng was indifferent about this matter; he didn’t mind that Ling Bo Re was not willing to use his. However, Zhao Jiuge recognized that this flying boat was the same as the one Ling Bo Re rode with that woman in pink back then.

Ling Bo Re didn’t speak and stepped onto the boat, followed by Song Rujing. Song Yuanfeng signaled Zhao Jiuge to go first, and he was last. Soon, all four of them were on the boat.

Yuan Yixiu, Jian Wuxian, and Hua Lingsu expressionlessly look at their disciples. They didn’t say any parting words. A burst of yellow light flashed and the flying boat flew toward the direction of the Liu Province before disappearing.

The flying boat was rather wide, and it was divided into the front, middle, and the back. Each row could sit two people. Ling Bo Re was along in front, Song Rujing was in the middle, and Song Yuansheng and Zhao Jiuge sat in the back row.

The moment Zhao Jiuge got on the boat, he looked around like a bumpkin. This was his first time riding one. He began cultivating halfway, so compared to those that had been cultivating since young, his knowledge was lacking.

Zhao Jiuge didn’t feel much wind while the flying boat flew through the sky. There was no sense of wind, so it didn’t give that thrilling feeling. Through careful observation, he found that the flying boat was powered by spirit stones and that there were spirit patterns carved on every surface. The spirit force from the spirit stones was used to power the ship and defend it against wind and noise. Zhao Jiuge eyes turned red from observing, and he decided he was going to get Ou Yezi to refine him one.

The scenery kept changing, and Zhao Jiuge enjoyed the quiet very much. Suddenly, he felt someone gently jab his waist. It turned out to be Song Yuansheng looking at him. He looked like he was enjoying Zhao Jiuge’s situation and gestured toward Song Rujing.

Zhao Jiuge suddenly remembered that the little girl was still angry at him. He revealed a bitter smile and quickly got up and sat down next to Song Rujing.

As soon as he sat down, Song Rujing turned her head away from Zhao Jiuge. This made Zhao Jiuge feel quite helpless. He was a bit dense himself, and coaxing someone was not his strong suit.

Zhao Jiuge forced a smile, then he scratched his head and forced himself to speak. “Are you still angry?”

What he got in response was Song Rujing’s cold snort. Zhao Jiuge didn’t know what to do. He revealed a sincere expression and spoke from the heart. “I still have to thank you for yesterday. If you hadn’t intervened, I would have likely suffered a beating.”

After he finished speaking, he turned and lowered his head. He didn’t think the little girl was going to respond. However, after hearing this, Song Rujing looked back. She was still angry and she had her hand on her waist. She loudly asked, “Is this how you repay me? The fellow who immediately forgot his friends.”

Zhao Jiuge naturally knew what Song Rujing meant. Sweat appeared on his forehead and he was speechless.

However, Song Rujing suddenly changed the topic. “However, seeing how sincere you are, I’ll forgive you this time. However, if this happens again, don’t blame me for cutting off our friendship.”

Seeing Song Rujing giving him a way out, Zhao Jiuge smiled and charmingly said, “That’s a must.” In return, Song Rujing rolled her eyes at him.

“Unfortunately, you have the intent, but the other party isn’t interested. I can see that you and her are not meant to be,” Song Rujing said in a very grownup manner. Zhao Jiuge didn’t even have to think to know who she was copying.

“Dripping water can pierce stone and an iron rod can be grinded down to a needle. As long as you are persistent, there is nothing that’s impossible. Just like cultivation, as long as you persist, you will be able to soar one day. What does a little girl like you know?” Zhao Jiuge wanted to continue, but seeing Song Rujing’s expression change, he immediately closed his mouth.

When Ling Bo Re heard Zhao Jiuge’s words, there was a flash of emotion in her eyes and a ripple spread in her mind. The only thing that could stimulate her heart was improving her cultivation; nothing else could stimulate her emotions. She only yearned for strength, and that desire was what kept her going.

“Farts, how can it be as easy as you say? Those old fellows in the sect have cultivated for countless years, all hoping to soar so they won’t die. Yet they all got stuck at the last step and can only watch their lifespans waste away. Do you think I’m a child that is so easily fooled by you?” Song Rujing’s lovely face was filled with contempt.

Zhao Jiuge remained silent and thought,?“If you’re not a child, then who is a child?”?However, he didn’t refute her. As long as she wasn’t angry with him, it was fine.

“If those elders back at the sect knew you called them ‘old fellows,’ you\'d be in for a lesson.” Song Yuansheng was sitting in the back, laughing happily.

“Hmph, it’s the truth. Those old fellows don\'t act respectful at all, and they tease me all the time! If they find out, it\'ll be because you went back and tattled on me. You know the consequences!” Song Rujing threatened Song Yuansheng. Zhao Jiuge didn’t know why Song Yuansheng was so afraid of this little sister of his.

Subsequently, the three of them chatted about some trivial matters, and Zhao Jiuge took the opportunity to ask about the flying boat. Song Yuansheng told him that as long as there were sufficient spirit stones, the speed of the flying boat was no worse than their own speed. However, that was under the assumption that you were below the Soul Formation Realm. After the Soul Formation Realm, your physical body was not something a lower realm cultivator could compare to. Even without the help of any external objects, you could travel thousands of kilometers in a day.

The Liu Province was about five or six provinces away from the Ten Thousand Dao Sect. Even with the flying boat. it would take them more than a month to arrive. Zhao Jiuge originally planned to rely on his own flying sword and was stunned. He had never gone out on a long trip and had no concept of distance.

Throughout the trip, Ling Bo Re sat in the front by herself and didn’t speak with the three of them. She still had a cold expression that kept people thousands of kilometers away.

As the flying boat accelerated, they moved further and further from the Ten Thousand Dao Sect. The surrounding scenery changed and Song Rujing excitedly looked around on the edge of the boat. She had never left the Void Suspension Monastery before, so she was very excited.

Fortunately, Ling Bo Re controlled the flying boat so it only flew over deserted areas and not through crowded cities. Otherwise, it would cause a mess among the mortals.

Song Yuansheng sat in the back and was always on guard. Even though he was young, he acted like an old man like his teacher. Although he still had a childish heart at times, he indeed handled things much more cautiously. They had left their sect, and with no elders around, he naturally had to be more cautious. No one could guarantee that no accident would occur. Ling Bo Re was too cold, so he didn’t dare to clash with her. His little sister was too playful, and Zhao Jiuge’s cultivation was the lowest here. Thus, the task naturally fell in his hands.

Zhao Jiuge felt a bit bored and stared at the back of that beautiful figure in a daze. He smelled the faint fragrance and then made a very bold move.
