Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1180 - 1180 1140 A Long Journey

1180: Chapter 1140: A Long Journey 1180: Chapter 1140: A Long Journey Jyang Ran looked at Dongfang Cheng and said impatiently, “Why should I go?

And why are you giving me orders now?”

Dongfang Cheng hurriedly waved his hand, “I’m not ordering you, just making a suggestion.”

At this point, Lu Chuan spoke up: “He’s right, it would be good for you to gather some information.”

“But it’s just a bit of trouble for you.”

Jyang Ran immediately laughed, “No problem, how could it be troublesome?

You are our leader after all, whatever you say goes.”

Dongfang Cheng glanced at him, “Quite the quick change.”

After dinner, Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaorou strolled in the garden under the candlelight of the night, walking among the flowering trees.

“Tonight, I will help you with your final training session.

If you can breakthrough, that would be ideal.”

“Upon reaching the Martial Saint Realm, your strength will also catch up, which is indeed quite impressive and astonishing.”

“But as long as you make a breakthrough, other aspects like combat experience and skills can be gradually developed.”

Gu Xiaorou nodded slightly, “It’s troubling you again to help me train.”

“What trouble?

We are about to enter the territory governed by the Lu family, deep into their stronghold, which is very dangerous.

Who knows, the cities around them might send troops at any moment and trap us.”

“That’s true, the Lu family’s influence is too great.

Even from a distance, one can see the presence of Lu Manor, even though this presence is insignificant.”

Lu Chuan took Gu Xiaorou back to their room to help her train.

They trained all night without sleeping.

The next morning, Gu Xiaorou got up and went to the courtyard.

Now she was a powerful practitioner of the Martial Saint Realm, surrounded by a robust aura that kept strangers away.

She practiced sword-fighting in the courtyard, cutting off surrounding branches with the emitted Sword Qi effortlessly.

She turned to look at Lu Chuan, showing a sweet smile.

A blush slightly appeared on her flawless face.

Last night, after successfully completing her breakthrough, she felt weak all over, collapsed on the bed, and did not recover for a long time.

Lu Chuan had accompanied her through the night, breaking their initial plan to not share the same room before marriage.

“How does it feel?

Pretty good, right?”

She walked over, slipping her Peijian into its sheath.

Lu Chuan put his arm around her shoulders, saying, “It’s very good, but there’s still the same issue, you lack real combat experience.”

“In that case… how about this… you be my sparring partner, and we can spar together, I should be able to improve quickly,” she said with a smile.

“No problem, that’s a good idea.

I am still much stronger than you and have more experience.

In a swordfight, I naturally have the upper hand.”

“We can practice together whenever we have time.”

Lu Chuan looked up and saw Jyang Ran approaching.

“The carriage is ready, we can leave at any time.”

“I feel like you two have gotten even closer?” Jyang Ran frowned as he looked at them.

Lu Chuan quickly said, “I helped her reach the Martial Saint Realm, of course she’s happy.”

“Is that so?

You finally broke through, that’s great!”

Jyang Ran looked at Gu Xiaorou with an excited smile.

“Alright, let’s set off.”

The group of five arrived at the gates of the Princess’ Mansion, where the carriage was ready.

Liang Xu and Li Ya came out to see them off, both looking excitedly at Lu Chuan.

“Have a safe journey, hope to see you again next time.”

Liang Xu waved to Lu Chuan.

“Take good care of your wife and manage Bei Wang County well; we are leaving first!” Lu Chuan instructed as he got on the carriage.

Five people got on the carriage one after another, and then the carriage started to move.

Soon, the carriage left the bounds of Bei Wang County.

After leaving the county, Lu Chuan said to the coachman: “Master, take a different road.”

“There are less than five roads in total, which one do you want to take?”

“Take the farthest one.”

“Eh?

The farthest one takes four days to reach, and the road is bumpy with a complex environment.”

“But the advantage is that not many people take it, and the possibility of encountering mountain bandits is also very low.”

Lu Chuan continued, “Let’s take this road then; four days it is.

If you hurry, we might get there in three days.”

“Three to four days of travel seems a bit long,” Dongfang Cheng remarked.

“Can’t help it; avoiding the main road will make us a bit safer.”

“Alright then, let’s do as you say.”

The carriage continued forward and soon entered a small path.

On the long road, hardly a single figure could be seen.

And the path also winds around a mountain area, making the journey rugged.

Sitting in the carriage, Lu Chuan and his companions began to rest.

When night fell, they stayed at an inn if one was available; if not, they had to set up tents.

The next day was the same; the few of them sat in the carriage, utterly bored, just blankly watching the scenery as they traveled.

By the third day, the routine was still the same; after crossing the mountain area, the road ahead became smoother and much easier.

“The journey is not far now; we are finally almost there,” the coachman sighed in relief, in a relaxed tone.

“We are finally about to get past these boring days.”

“However, the good thing is, we didn’t get harassed by enemies.

It’s been very safe along the way,” Dongfang Cheng added.

“We are almost there!” Dongfang Cheng looked out the window.

“There sure are a lot of mining areas around; everyone is mining here.

The surroundings of Hei Jin City are becoming more chaotic and the land very barren.

We need a lot of interaction with the outside world to keep going.”

“When we reach the city, I expect the environment to be complicated.

People from all over might pass through here, some for trading, others just to look for stones.”

“Some come directly for mining.”

Dongfang Cheng shook his head slightly, “Once we are in the city, we need to keep a low profile; we can’t be too ostentatious.”

Lu Chuan nodded nonchalantly, “No problem, even though I don’t know much, since we are entering a whole new place, we naturally need to be more careful.”

The carriage moved on leisurely and comfortably.

Suddenly!

The carriage came to an abrupt halt, and the coachman quickly turned around, shouting to the group, “Sirs, people outside have surrounded us, what should we do?”

Whoosh!!!

Suddenly, an enemy’s cold arrow struck, hitting the horses in front of the carriage.

Amidst a sorrowful neighing, all four horses fell and did not get up, lying in a pool of blood.

“It’s over, they killed our horses, stopping us from moving forward!” Dongfang Cheng cursed, looking out of the window.

Then, Dongfang Cheng saw several people shaking their heads, “After killing our horses, they turned and fled!”

“What a bunch of bastards, we must kill them!”

Dongfang Cheng clenched his fists.

Lu Chuan drew the Soul Terminating Sword, preparing to get off the carriage, “Since they’ve killed our horses, let’s take theirs!”
