Chapter 248: Chapter 236 Departure (3/3)_3

She would never dare say this, even if she were to die.

"Zhou Heng, where are we going now?" Xiao Huoshui asked.

They were heading to Bright Moon Country, but Bright Moon Country was so vast, its territory at least a hundred times larger than that of Cold Blue Country. They needed a destination, right?

"Wind Howl Sect!" Zhou Heng said.

The Orchid Concubine’s heart skipped a beat. Wasn’t Wind Howl Sect the sect where her daughter resided? Could it be that her lascivious master was truly harboring designs on her daughter? If so, should she help by holding down her daughter or hide to the side pretending she hadn’t seen anything?

She didn’t think for a moment that she had the power to stop Zhou Heng if he decided to make a move on Nangong Yuerong; hence, she dismissed the thought altogether!

Actually, being Zhou Heng’s woman wouldn’t be too bad. This man was bound to become the overlord of the continent one day, and being his woman would be quite prestigious! While the idea of a mother and daughter serving the same husband was somewhat against social norms, it was the experts who dictated the rules of the world. Once Zhou Heng became powerful enough, his every word and deed would be considered the ultimate truth.

Besides, it wasn’t as if there were no examples of mothers and daughters serving the same husband nowadays. At least she knew many ministers in the Imperial Capital loved this kink, they just concealed it well, preventing too many people from finding out.

If Zhou Heng truly harbored such intentions, she would need to have a serious talk with her daughter!

Zhou Heng had no idea that his mention of Wind Howl Sect had led the Orchid Concubine to such wild conjectures. And indeed, he did plan to take Nangong Yuerong into his fold. Despite disliking her as much as he disliked the Orchid Concubine, since he had touched her, she must never fall into the hands of another man.

In this aspect, he was absolutely selfish.

Wind Howl Sect was considered a major sect in Bright Moon Country with experts from the Spirit Sea Realm stationed there—and not just one. It was rated as upper-middle level among the sects with Spirit Sea Realm experts.

This was precisely why they were able to control Cold Blue Country and obtain a majority of the county’s benefits.

The three great households with Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestors reigned over Bright Moon Country. They got the meat, but they always left some soup for others.

Wind Howl Sect was not located in Lanling City, the Imperial Capital, but outside Qianhe City on Phoenix Cry Mountain.

Qianhe City was one of the Eighteen Great Cities of Bright Moon Country, and Wind Howl Sect was the ruler of this populous city. Although the sect wasn’t situated within the city, its influence was unparalleled. Many in the city might not know which were the three great households of Bright Moon Country, but they definitely knew that the Sect Master of Wind Howl Sect was Qi Qinghe.

After more than a month’s journey, Zhou Heng and his companions finally arrived at this ancient city.

Every brick and tile exuded an archaic charm, filled with a primal aura, irresistibly immersing one in the long river of history, evoking a sense of dislocation as if having traversed through the ages in an instant.

This ancient city was older than any city in Cold Blue Country!

In fact, during the Ancient Times, both Cold Blue Country and Bright Moon Country were unexplored barbaric regions until the Great Eternal Emperor’s Heavenly Dynasty crumbled and the Heavenly Dragon Empire rose. To expand the population, these wilderness areas were then enfeoffed to form the four great Dynasties such as Bright Moon Country, followed by a further expansion to establish dynasties like Cold Blue Country.

Therefore, historically speaking, Cold Blue Country was at least tens of thousands of years younger than Bright Moon Country.

As for the exact number of years, no one knew. It had been obliterated by history.

The trio strolled along the main street, amidst the hustle and bustle. Martial Artists from the Land Cleaving Realm and even the Heaven-Opening Realm were seen from time to time, showcasing the profound heritage of this ancient city.

Suddenly, a commotion ahead broke out. The bustling crowd parted like the flow of water as pedestrians hastened toward the sides into alleys. Some even retreated rapidly backward, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

"Could it be some young scion seizing a beauty in the streets?" Xiao Huoshui speculated.

"Ha, then you two better cover your faces quick!" Zhou Heng joked.

Xiao Huoshui knew Zhou Heng was joking and, with a laugh, dismissed it. However, the Orchid Concubine, despite knowing it was a joke, dared not take it lightly and hurriedly took out a piece of silk to veil her face, thinking it better to be safe than sorry.

"Ahh—!" The cries grew closer, and Zhou Heng looked up, a faint look of surprise crossing his face.

It wasn’t some scion misbehaving in public; rather, a gigantic brown bear had appeared on the street, standing at a height of nearly ten feet tall and over twenty feet long, roughly the size of a small house, and it was lazily strolling down the street.

If it were merely large, it wouldn’t have sent Martial Artists from the Land Cleaving Realm and the Heaven-Opening Realm scurrying in panic. This brown bear was in fact a Demon Beast from the Mountains and Rivers Realm!

And on the back of this Demon Bear, there actually sat a Wild Girl!

Why say ’wild’?

Because the girl was dressed just like a wild woman; her upper body was wrapped in layers of white cloth around her chest, so numerous that it was impossible to discern the size of her breasts. Her lower body was similarly wrapped only around her hip, leaving her snowy white thighs, lower abdomen, and arms bare, radiating a glow like that of polished jade.

Her black hair cascaded down to her buttocks, utterly unbound and unadorned, her entire presence exuding a fresh, primal wildness.(To be continued.
