The Saintess did not arrive at the Xuanling Sect alone; she was accompanied by an entire team.
Excluding the maid she had dismissed, the group consisted of various skilled individuals—pharmacists, scouts, and formation masters—everything one could need was present.
When the team leader heard that the Saintess wanted to participate in the search operation, he immediately crushed the teacup in his hand.
“What?!”
The schedule for the Saintess had been meticulously planned. Her stay at the Xuanling Sect had already disrupted the arrangements, and now she wanted to run around?
What would happen if they encountered danger?
“Anyone with objections can return to the mountain,” Xu Lexian said, too lazy to explain. “The elders won’t blame you, I promise.”
They wouldn’t be blamed, but they would probably be thrown off a cliff to feed the abyss monsters that had been starving for who knows how many years…
There was no choice; the Saintess spoke, and her subordinates had to scramble to revise the plan.
If they were going to a dangerous area, the security level had to be raised, with continuous close protection throughout the day. Unless safety was confirmed, she couldn’t leave the Qilin Gold-plated carriage and was prohibited from contacting any strangers…
A long list of precautions was placed before the Saintess.
Without even glancing at it, she tore it in half.
“Why are you all so foolish? Are we going to conduct a search operation by sitting in the Qilin Gold-plated carriage? As if everyone wouldn’t know the Saintess has arrived?”
The Saintess’s grand entrance had nothing to do with the word “low-key.” If she wanted to participate in the operation, the team had to be streamlined.
Xu Lexian selected a few essential members to accompany her, while the rest stayed at the Xuanling Sect on standby.
“Saintess, this is absolutely unacceptable! With so few people, how can we ensure your safety?”
“Heh,” Xu Lexian scoffed, “Just because you’re here, does that guarantee my safety?”
The argument lasted only a short while. Before long, the two search teams were organized and ready to depart.
One team was led by the Saintess, primarily consisting of her subordinates and Tang Xin and Shui Qiu, while the other was led by Yi Rou, mainly composed of Xuanling Sect disciples.
The two groups set off from different routes towards their destination, “Thunder Valley,” preparing to search from the left and right before meeting in the valley.
…
On the way.
Without the Qilin Gold-plated carriage, the Saintess couldn’t possibly travel on foot.
With a wave of her hand, she purchased a “too low-level” Earth Dragon travel carriage (the most expensive vehicle in the market) in the nearby bazaar, carrying three people as they moved forward slowly.
Although the Earth Dragon travel carriage couldn’t compare to the supreme-grade Qilin Gold-plated carriage, its interior was spacious enough, almost like a bedroom, with all the necessary amenities.
The only complaint was that the bed in front of her looked a bit small.
“Maid,” the Saintess said, sitting in the armchair and savoring her celestial tea, “aren’t you going to warm the bed? It’s already dark outside.”
“This bed has a built-in heating function…”
Tang Xin replied with a sullen face.
“Warm the bed?!”
Shui Qiu listened from the side, feeling a surge of anger.
Did her senior sister have to do this every day? Using her warm body to touch the cold bed? What a torment!
Just thinking about her senior sister shivering under the covers made Shui Qiu’s heart ache.
“I know about heated blankets,” the Saintess said, “but there’s no woman’s fragrance on the bed, and that’s the key to warming it. Usually, in the sect, I find seven or eight different scented maidens to take turns warming the bed.”
Wow, rich people really know how to have fun…
After a brief argument, the senior sister of Xuanling Sect still lay down on the bed.
Seeing this, Shui Qiu followed suit and lay down as well.
Suffering shouldn’t be something her senior sister faced alone; she wanted to share the burden!
“Not gonna lie, this bed is quite comfortable…”
“Senior sister smells so good, hehe…”
Seeing her sisters having so much fun on the bed, the Saintess couldn’t hold back and immediately leaped onto the bed as well.
The three girls squeezed together on the not-so-large bed.
To the left of Tang Xin was the Saintess, and to the right was her junior sister.
“Doesn’t anyone feel a bit cramped?” she said, glaring with her dead fish eyes. “This bed doesn’t seem like it can fit three people…”
“I bought the carriage, so of course, I’m sleeping on the bed.”
The Saintess lay on the bed, looking pleased with herself.
“I have to take care of my senior sister, so I need to sleep on the bed too!”
Shui Qiu squeezed a bit closer to the middle.
“Alright,” Tang Xin, who was squeezed in the middle, raised her head and said, “then I’ll get off, and you two can sleep slowly…”
“Lie down!” X2
The two girls each placed a leg on her, pushing her back down.
“What are you doing?” Tang Xin couldn’t help but complain. “Do you still want to rest tonight?!”
【Generating options…】
【Option 1: “If you won’t let me rest, then you two shouldn’t expect to rest either!” Press down on the two girls, making them plead for mercy.】
【Success probability: 1%, Reward: One bottle of super concentrated spirit spring water.】
【Option 2: “I want to sleep!” State your position and make the two girls apologize voluntarily.】
【Success probability: 50%, Reward: One bottle of ordinary spirit spring water.】
【Option 3: Endure silently.】
【Success probability: 100%, Reward: One bottle of mineral water.】
Do I really have to choose at a time like this…
“The skin is quite smooth,” the Saintess said, resting one leg on Tang Xin’s foot and turning to the side. “Do you usually do any skincare? The spiritual energy concentration of the Xuanling Sect shouldn’t be enough for ‘automatic youth preservation,’ right?”
“Get your hands off my sister’s face!” Shui Qiu pouted, hugging Tang Xin’s waist. “That’s not a place for you to touch!”
“Oh,” Xu Lexian teased her deliberately, “you’ve got some guts, huh? Talking to the Saintess like that? Aren’t you afraid I’ll throw you out of the carriage?”
“Don’t think I’m scared just because you’re at a higher level,” Shui Qiu retorted, standing her ground. “As long as I’m with my sister, no matter how strong the enemy is, it’s nothing to worry about!”
“Not tall, but quite the mouthful. Come on, let me see if your resolve is real by giving you a little squeeze…”
“I won’t let you have your way! Soft Water Finger!”
Despite the barrier between them, the two girls continued to bicker joyfully, with Xu Lexian clearly just teasing the blue-eyed girl, not even using half of her strength.
Tang Xin’s expression grew darker.
In the past, whenever faced with options of varying success rates, she always chose the one with the highest probability of success.
But this time, she truly couldn’t take it anymore!
Was this endless bickering going to go on forever?!
“If you won’t let me rest, then you shouldn’t expect to rest either!”
Tang Xin flipped over, pinning the two girls beneath her, placing her hands on their waists, hoping to make them beg for mercy.
And then…
“Sister’s body is so soft, it’s amazing!”
“Do you want to compete in finger skills? I’ve trained specifically for this! Tickling technique!”
The bed immediately turned into a chaotic mess, but fortunately, the soundproofing of the ground dragon carriage was quite good, so no one outside heard them. Otherwise, who knows what kind of rumors would spread…
“Calm down, let me get off the bed! Who wants to play games with you?!”
Option one, failure!
I told you, I definitely shouldn’t have chosen the one with a low success rate!
Where does the villain get such good luck?!
