Chapter 504: Chapter 329: Return to the Northern Border

Riding on a B-grade military flying Demonic Beast for travel, Xu Yuan was not very convinced.

Although the Lion Eagle Beast was huge, the attic embedded on its back seemed to be used for air-transporting armaments and troops, without any formation to ensure comfort.

The massive attic was only engraved with a Spirit-avoiding Formation to conceal its aura; forget about Soundproof Formations, Spirit-locking Formations, or Vibrational Stabilizers.

Of course, there was another formation... if the Inscription Lamp counted as one.

Sitting inside was like riding in a shaky cart; with every flap of the Lion Eagle Beast’s wings, the attached attic swayed, and the "whooshing" sound of cutting through the sky never ceased to resound within the room.

If it were not for this Lion Eagle Beast having undergone strict Demonic Beast training and not prone to suddenly performing spins and acrobatics in the sky, Xu Yuan might even have slaughtered this damn bird for its meat.

Day N missing the comforts of the Xuanying Attic.

"Screech—"

Along with a long cry,

once again shaken awake from his sleep, Xu Yuan suppressed the urge to slaughter the stinking bird and climbed out of bed, using the dim light from the Inscription Lamp on the wall to look around.

The attic behind the Lion Eagle Beast was designed to transport troops and equipment, with three floors, brutally devoid of partitions.

This layout, whether for transporting soldiers or supplies, was the most space-efficient.

For transporting troops, several densely packed beds were laid out; for transporting armaments, they were all disassembled and cleared to create a storeroom.

The military sought to maximize space utilization, not comfort.

This single B-grade Lion Eagle Beast, if squeezed a bit, could transport nearly two hundred Armored Warriors.

However, without partitions, the entire space appeared vast and unobstructed from end to end.

Xiao Bai and the Wrapped Chest Princess were not around, presumably dragged out for training again.

"Hah..."

Having his sleep disturbed, Xu Yuan was no longer sleepy; yawning, he stood up and walked toward the wide-open space outside.

The one commendable feature of this Lion Eagle Beast was the relatively spacious open-air platform outside the attic.

Of course, there were no wind-shielding formations, so standing outside meant enduring the biting cold wind like knife slashes.

"Squeak—"

Amidst the frenzied snowstorm, Xu Yuan caught sight of two slender figures standing on the platform.

One kneeling, one standing.

Bai Muxi looked pitifully kneeling on the ground, head hanging down.

Li Qingyan leaned against the railing, her long black hair not tied up, fluttering along with her red robes.

Right, picking on Xiao Bai, that honest soul again?

What? The honest person is a green tea? (Slang for someone who appears innocent but is manipulative)

Well, then, never mind.

Glancing at the two women, Xu Yuan had grown accustomed to such scenes.

Over the days heading south, such occurrences had not been uncommon.

Although Bai Muxi had been temporarily assigned by Xu Yuan to follow Li Qingyan, in truth, according to Li Qingyan’s temperament, she would not go out of her way to trouble Bai Muxi.

It might be a bit tough, but she was simply treating Xiao Bai like her own trusted aide, not subjecting her to any special targeting.

As long as Bai Muxi completed the tasks set by Li Qingyan, Li Qingyan would treat her even better than Xu Yuan did.

All kinds of Elixir Medicines and Secret Techniques were fully provided.

Unfortunately, Bai Muxi typically couldn’t complete them.

Because Li Qingyan held a high opinion of Bai Muxi, her expectations were equally high.

Whether in terms of cultivation or demands for proper conduct.

And Xiao Bai’s personality was rather something too, every time Xu Yuan showed concern with a straight face, she always liked to follow up a scolding with a teary statement, "Young Master... it is all Muxi’s fault, don’t blame His Highness, it is Muxi who let His Highness down."

The result was a whipping.

After being whipped, Bai Muxi would woefully self-pity, uttering cleverly worded lines, outwardly taking the blame herself while sarcastically indicting Li Qingyan’s violence to garner Xu Yuan’s sympathy.

Could the Wrapped Chest Princess not see through this?

Of course, she could, but she didn’t care at all; however, such behavior did tend to annoy her even more.

And then a vicious cycle ensued.

Xiao Bai was pitifully bullied by the Wrapped Chest Princess every day.

But seeing that the two women seemed to enjoy themselves, Xu Yuan didn’t intervene and simply watched the drama munching on melon seeds.

Well, occasionally he would stoke the fire a bit, saying things like, "That’s enough, Qingyan, stop hitting her, I’ll help Muxi apply the medicine today."

Activating his Cultivation Technique and braving the cold wind, Xu Yuan approached with a smile:

"Yo, what’s the trouble now?"

Li Qingyan glanced back at him:

"This palace is teaching her a Cultivation Technique, and she refuses to learn."

"Ah?"

Xu Yuan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise as he glanced at Xiao Bai kneeling on the ground.

Upon hearing this, Bai Muxi raised her gaze to Xu Yuan and replied softly:

"Young Master... Her Highness’s Cultivation Technique would obliterate Muxi’s current Dao Charm."

After saying this, she lowered her head again.

Li Qingyan’s lips curled into a mocking smile:

"You want a top-tier Cultivation Technique, yet don’t want to give up your current Dao Charm. Where in the world do you find such a deal?"

To give up Dao Charm...

Xu Yuan’s expression became slightly solemn.

The severity of the situation today... seemed to be on a completely different level from the other events of these days.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan asked softly:

"What exactly is the situation?"

Li Qingyan stated indifferently:

"Bai Muxi, show your Dao Charm to Changtian."

Bai Muxi kept silent for a while, straightened her back, and slowly extended a palm.

Opening it, a halo of light appeared in her palm.

The light radiated a fascinating mystery.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan hesitated slightly.

Although he had read many ancient texts and had a Dao Charm himself, his understanding of Dao Charm was not particularly deep, because he lacked memories.
