The cultivators who were at the premium stage of Sky Realm regarded Austin as a poor object and they could dispose off his life at any tthey wanted. However, their roles were actually reversed, Austin had no difficulty taking them out.
Austin suddenly got curious. He becinterested in the place where the group of people was heading to.
Besides, he didn't have anything urgent to attend to. According to the map, the Elite Holy Kingdom was not far from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. So he figured there was no harm in taking a trip to the Elite Holy Kingdom first.
With that thought in mind, he decided to sail in the sboat and agreed, "Fine..." He threw the food that he was eating away and cleaned his hands on his clothes.
With a faint smile, the woman took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Austin.
"Use this. Don't get your clothes dirty," she said softly.
‘This woman..." Austin exclaimed in his mind.
He laughed then took the handkerchief from her.
The men nearby laughed rudely and their laughter reached their ears.
"It looks like she will have a good ttonight... Hahaha!" The young woman got back to her horse. Glaring at the men, she spat and said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. If my lady hears what you have said, she will give you a tongue-lashing and curse you to death." A trace of seriousness and anxiety was visible on her face.
"We can't slack as long as we're still in this mountain. After all, those bad guys claimed that they would kidnap our lady to prevent her from returning to the Elite Holy Kingdom..." she went on.
"Let's get going," the man in a black robe proposed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Our lady has a miserable fate..." "Shut up. Don't talk too much," broke in the savage man with a saber on his back, winking at him.
The group continued their journey.
Austin also got his horse and followed them.
Austin's ears tingled as he eavesdropped on the conversation between the woman and the men.
'Are they escorting a lady?’ Austin thought in surprise.
He glanced around the crowd in curiosity.
Within the group, there were sarmored soldiers and a lot of pretty maids.
His eyes finally fell on the heavily guarded and beautiful carriage.
'ls it a woman inside the carriage? A lady? Is she from an influential family in the Elite Holy Kingdom? Whatever, I'll follow them for the tbeing... As for the real identity of those people, that's not my business..." he brooded.
They walked for a whole day before it was dark.
After the sunset, darkness enveloped the whole mountains.
At the command of the Sky Realm masters, the whole team stopped in a valley. The soldiers and maids started to pitch tents and built fires.
Over a dozen young maids got off the carriages. They were pretty, and several of them were stunning. They looked tired, but they made fires and cooked dinner.
Only the people who were in the most luxurious carriage didn't get off.
Austin went to a quiet corner and sat down alone. He then made a fire.
Soon the pleasant smell of cooked meat filled the whole valley.
The group began to have dinner.
"Here you are. This is for you." The woman walked up to Austin. With a friendly smile, she gave him a roasted rabbit.
Austin had no heart to refuse her kindness. He took the food and said cautiously, "Thank you." To Austin's surprise, the woman didn't walk away. Instead, she sat down next to him, picked up a stick on the ground and played with the campfire.
She was blessed with a fair complexion. She glowed as the light of the fire reflected on her face; she looked adorable.
Austin turned to look at the woman. She looked like she was in her early twenties maybe twenty-four or twenty-five and exuded a charming aura.
She was not tall, but her legs looked long and slender. She had a delicate, soft waist.
Although she couldn't match Ivy and Sue in their beauty, she was a charming woman.
"Young man, why are you roaming the mountains and forests alone?" the woman asked with a small smile.
Austin frowned, and then replied, "I'm a homeless orphan. | never stay in a place for long. A couple of days ago, | entered this mountain. | was about to find my way out when | ran into you..." Austin's words were not convincing, but the woman seemed to have bought it. Perhaps she didn't suspect Austin to be a dangerous person due to his weak and harmless look.
Later, the woman chatted away with Austin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs it was getting darker and later into the night most of the people got sleepy. They got into their tents or carriage to sleep. Ssoldiers and strong cultivators were on patrol duty.
The young woman glanced at Austin and her face turned red.
Shyly, she whispered to him, "Young man, you can go to my tent and get ssleep..." Austin was startled by her invitation.
"No thanks, I'll just sleep outside," he refused hurriedly.
The woman continued to persuade him to sleep in her tent but failed.
She eventually gave up. Looking disappointed, she stood up and walked towards her tent.
Austin was relieved as he watched her get into a tent.
Only the sound of snores could be heard in the valley after midnight.
Austin did not fall asleep. He sat cross-legged peacefully, and the Golden Sun Scripture ran inside his body to nourish his energy meridians and acupuncture points.
But then, something distracted him.
Austin opened his eyes, and a trace of alertness flashed across his eyes.
"What's going on? A horde of people are approaching this valley..." he muttered.
He also realized with his spiritual sense that intruders were surrounding them. Apparently, the people who Austin had followed were their target.
Austin glanced around only to find that the soldiers and cultivators on patrol hadn't realized that there was an upcoming danger.
