Chapter 549: These are all sisters who have lost their support! (Seeking...)
The next morning, He Ying had already arranged the sect affairs.
She changed into a goose-yellow tight-fitting outfit convenient for movement, with a silver silk sash tied at her waist, outlining her exquisite figure to perfection.
Dai Xiaoyao sensibly took his leave, and as he left, he winked at Li Chen.
Li Chen understood that this kid wanted to claim credit, so he gave him a gesture, and after returning, he would have the Ministry of War give him some rewards.
Perhaps many kings ruined their country for women, but Dai Xiaoyao used women to consolidate his country.
Dai Xiaoyao left, and Li Chen's group's journey south began.
In the south without orbital trains, they could only take a carriage.
The space inside the carriage was not large, and He Ying sat opposite Li Chen, making it convenient for Li Chen to appreciate the scenery.
Normally, if He Ying were traveling with a junior or a peer, she would certainly be cold and aloof, uninterested in everything outside, and even keep her distance from others with cold eyes.
But traveling with Li Chen, she always wore a faint smile; whenever Li Chen felt a bit sleepy, she would tell him about the things she had seen and heard in this area, such as interesting things that had happened, what fun exotic beasts there were, and so on.
When Li Chen was a bit hungry, she would take the initiative to take out snacks from her bundle; this was the treatment only Li Chen had.
Whenever they reached a place with beautiful scenery, Li Chen would suggest a rest.
And every time they rested, he would take the initiative to find He Ying to spar in palm techniques.
"Sect He He Zongzhu, the scenery at this mountain stream is not bad. Why don't you give me some pointers on my palm technique again?" Li Chen stood by the stream, sunlight casting mottled light and shadows on his handsome face through the leaves.
"I dare not, I dare not. Young Master Li should be the one giving me pointers; my palm technique is not even one ten-thousandth of yours." He Ying was not being humble; she was telling the truth.
"It's fine, just sparring with each other. I am indeed not good at this aspect; Sect He He Zongzhu, please forgive me for some mistakes."
"Easy to say, easy to say." He Ying replied with a blushing face.
She discovered that Li Chen's "asking for advice" was becoming more and more unruly, either "accidentally" touching or "making a mistake" and grabbing.
Once or twice could be called an accident, but for three consecutive days...
The most fatal thing was when camping at night.
The tent was not soundproof at all, and the movements coming from next door made He Ying toss and turn.
She bit the corner of the quilt, her mind filled with Li Chen's fiery gaze during their sparring in the daytime.
On the third night, He Ying was tossing and turning in her tent, trying to resolve her own troubles, when she suddenly heard the sound of the curtain being lifted.
Under the moonlight, Li Chen's tall figure appeared at the entrance.
"Young... Young Master Li?" He Ying sat up in a panic, the lapels of her chest slightly open due to the sudden movement.
Li Chen walked closer slowly, his slender fingers lightly stroking her burning cheeks: "Sect He He Zongzhu has taught very diligently these past few days; I should thank you properly."
He Ying wanted to refuse, but her body had no strength at all, and Li Chen didn't give her any chance, coming directly for a seamless connection.
The moonlight was obscured by clouds, startling a patch of birds into singing.
Xuan Ji dutifully guarded not far away, silently drawing another circle on the itinerary.
According to this progress and the movements, I'm afraid they will have to stay here for several more days.
Sure enough, the journey originally planned for three days was delayed by a full seven days here.
Every time they set off in the morning, He Ying would blush and dare not look at Xuan Ji, and her walking posture was also slightly awkward.
As for Li Chen, he was refreshed, occasionally "kindly" helping her look at the scenery nearby.
By the evening of the seventh day, He Ying finally couldn't help but protest in a small voice: "Young Master Li, shouldn't we be on our way?"
Her charming little expression made Li Chen feel that she hadn't been fed enough.
The result was obvious; the journey was delayed by another day. ===== CHAPTER 550 =====
