Chapter 1557: Chapter 1553: Embarking on the Journey (Two updates!)

Princess Lingxia only realized what was happening when Ren Feifan appeared, her face blushing to the extreme, almost as if it could drip blood! She felt embarrassment flooding her face, and her entire being became somewhat frantic.

She didn’t dare to look into Ren Feifan’s eyes anymore and nervously said, "Master Ren, please don’t misunderstand... I... I was waiting for you outside, but when I didn’t see you come out for so long, I was worried we would be late to the Secret Realm, so I came looking for you... Then... I noticed your door and windows were a bit dirty... Yes, just a bit dirty, and I wanted to help you clean them! That’s all it was! Please don’t misunderstand, I really wasn’t eavesdropping!"

Such an explanation was truly embarrassing, and it even felt like the more she explained, the worse it got.

A princess of the royal family, bored enough to clean doors?

Who would believe that!

Ren Feifan had an extremely peculiar expression on his face; Princess Lingxia was the classic example of someone who couldn’t lie.

However, he guessed that they had indeed been delayed for quite a while and, without hesitation, he headed straight outside!

"Since that’s the case, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s set out now!"

Princess Lingxia quickly came to her senses, took a long sigh of relief as she watched Ren Feifan’s departing figure, and felt relieved that the young man hadn’t pressed further; otherwise, the consequences would’ve been troublesome.

Even though she thought this, she subconsciously followed him!

Ren Feifan and Princess Lingxia left Qinglanzong, boarded the spiritual vehicle, and journeyed in silence.

To Ren Feifan’s surprise, this carriage ride wasn’t heading to the royal family—could it be that they were going directly to the Secret Realm?

Sensing Ren Feifan’s confusion, Princess Lingxia explained, "The location of the Secret Realm is a place called Sheng Yin Town, which is too far from the royal family. Therefore, this time we’re heading straight to Sheng Yin Town, where the Secret Realm will open. My father will also be there to observe the entire formation at Sheng Yin Town; once there, he might want to meet you."

Nobody knew that after the auction, her father had summoned her to the royal family overnight, and the summoning was all because of one person—Ren Feifan!

Her father had always wanted to find a breakthrough with Mr. Jing Shui, but even at the Royal auction, he had not seen Mr. Jing Shui.

But when he heard about Ren Feifan and Mr. Jing Shui’s affair at the royal family, he suddenly realized that he had found a breakthrough!

Why not try it with this young man?

The man was merely at the Wanxiang Realm; a mere offer of some opportunities and wealth, and the young man might be easily tempted.

"Oh," Ren Feifan responded indifferently with a nod, as if it were a trivial matter of no great consequence.

Princess Lingxia grew even more surprised; her father was the king of the royal family, and anyone would be ecstatic and lost for words at the chance to meet him. It seemed that in all the world, only Ren Feifan maintained such a calm and collected demeanor.

But considering it, it wasn’t that strange; Ren Feifan treated Mr. Jing Shui with the same attitude, so naturally, he wouldn’t be interested in her father either.

The two traveled over two hundred kilometers through the night until they finally arrived on the outskirts of Sheng Yin Town as dawn broke the next day.

Feeling the spiritual vehicle stop, Ren Feifan lifted the curtain,

And saw that on the outskirts of Sheng Yin Town there was a massive circular lake.

The lake enveloped the entire Sheng Yin Town within it. What was odd was that the water of the lake on the outskirts of Sheng Yin Town was red, and the water wasn’t as deep as imagined, probably only half a person’s height if one walked into it.

At the same time, Ren Feifan noticed that the shore was teeming with people, all presumably heading to Sheng Yin Town.

Ren Feifan frowned and curiously asked, "Is that Sheng Yin Town ahead? Right in the middle of the lake?"

"Right," Princess Lingxia replied, her eyes looking into the distance, filled with a touch of concern.

"Princess Lingxia, why doesn’t the spiritual vehicle cross the river?"

Princess Lingxia let out a long sigh, "We can’t cross; I thought we wouldn’t encounter Countercurrent River, but we still did. Damn it!"

Having said that, Princess Lingxia picked up a stone from the ground and threw it down.

But when the stone touched the lake surface, a powerful energy fluctuation rose up, and the stone actually turned into powder!

Upon witnessing this scene, Ren Feifan’s face changed drastically. What a domineering Countercurrent River!

Ren Feifan even noticed that there were a few cultivators who were not afraid of death who touched the water’s surface with their feet, and in the blink of an eye, his leg turned into a pile of white bones!

That person even screamed, his face filled with terror!

This time, no one dared to try it lightly anymore.

Princess Lingxia looked back at the old man driving the spiritual vehicle and asked, "What should we do next?"

The old man’s eyes were somewhat meaningful as he said aloud, "We could either wait or fly over. Unfortunately, we don’t have any Flying Spiritual Beasts, so waiting is our only path. We can cross once the water turns blue."

Princess Lingxia was somewhat worried and asked curiously, "How long might we have to wait?"

"Let’s see, at the shortest, a few minutes, and at the most, a few months."

Princess Lingxia’s face changed dramatically; if they had to wait for months, then what was the point? The Secret Realms would have ended by then.

As Princess Lingxia grew anxious, a mocking voice rang out, "Yo, isn’t this my dear sister Lingxia? Do you want me to take you across?"

Hearing this voice, Princess Lingxia’s face turned furious, and she turned back to glare fiercely at the man in front of her, "Get lost!"

The speaker was none other than the Prince!

Ren Feifan’s eyes were filled with interest as he watched the Prince, noticing that beneath the Prince was a winged steed!

The aura of the steed was terrifyingly strong; it clearly belonged to an extraordinary breed.

Moreover, some of the people behind the Prince were on Flying Spiritual Beasts!

The corners of Ren Feifan’s mouth curled upward, as it seemed the only way to cross the Countercurrent River, since touching the water was not an option, was to fly over.

And undoubtedly, Flying Spiritual Beasts were the best solution.

It appeared the Prince had known they would encounter the Countercurrent River, whereas Princess Lingxia had been kept in the dark.

The Prince’s gaze shifted around Ren Feifan and became somewhat malevolent.

The humiliation he had suffered at the hands of Ren Feifan in the past few days was still fresh in his mind! He could not quell the hatred in his heart until Ren Feifan was dead!

"Dear sister Lingxia, what have you decided? I can take you away from this place, or you could choose to wait here for a day, which might even turn out to be longer! Of course, I can only take one person with me. As for some ants, well, I am sorry," the Prince offered.

His statement was obviously aimed at Ren Feifan!

Ren Feifan’s eyes remained calm, for crossing the Countercurrent River would be a piece of cake for him!

He merely didn’t want to reveal that just yet.

Princess Lingxia hesitated upon hearing the Prince’s words!

Flying Spiritual Beasts were extremely rare in the Hidden Gate because they were agile, making them virtually impossible for ordinary people to capture.

He regretted not going to Sheng Yin Town in advance; perhaps the Countercurrent River would have already been blue.

The rest of the members had gone ahead to Sheng Yin Town to wait for him! If he didn’t go now, they wouldn’t be able to enter either!

His own plan would be all for naught!

Absolutely unacceptable!
