“Western Liang is a region West of Xijiang!” Yue Changkong said, “and the Black Desert is Taklamakan desert, which in Xijiang-tongue means ‘the place of no return’. It’s China’s largest shifting sand dune.”
“Shifting sand dunes? Is that the kind of desert that shifts according to the wind direction? What about it is so scary that even you don’t dare to set foot there?”
“No! Bro Bei! You really have no idea how scary the Black Desert is!” Yue Changkong’s tone was grave. “A strong wind could stir up a sandstorm, large enough to form a mountain! If a person is buried under the sand, it would be like falling into a muddy swamp. The harder you struggle, the deeper you’ll sink! In the early years, many people wanted to enter the desert to search for legendary ancient factions. A gale would stir up a sandstorm and form a mountain! The many people who went never came back! There was even one demigod who was buried alive in there! Ever since then, no one has ever dared set foot in the Black Desert!”
Chen Xiaobei nearly shouted, “What? A demigod was buried alive? How is that even possible?”
“It’s true! Mother nature is a very powerful, scary force! Deserts, oceans, thunders, volcanoes… When nature is angry, even a demigod would have to surrender his life! After all, human strength can never defy nature!”
“Human strength cannot defy nature?!”
Chen Xiaobei himself had experienced the formidable strength of nature the last time he was in the ocean. Solely for the sake of upgrading the Chaos Blood Sword, Chen Xiaobei nearly died at the bottom of the sea.
If it was not for Little White Dragon’s Hydrophobe Pearl, Chen Xiaobei would already have ended up in hell chewing on spicy sticks with Yuanwang.
When he thought of that, Chen Xiaobei felt his heart stop beating for a good second. If a demigod’s life could be endangered there, then how much more danger would Luo Puti, who was still in the early stage of True Nirvana be in?
Chen Xiaobei’s face darkened as he instructed them, “I want you to mobilize every single man you have. Contact the airport and the train station. Find out which platform Luo Puti left from. I will go stop her!”
“Alright! I’m on it! Bro Bei, why don’t you just call her?”
“She won’t pick up my call!” Chen Xiaobei said. “She always said that she doesn’t want to trouble me. If she was going to tell me where she was, then she would’ve waited for me to come back first!”
“Oh! I get it now! I’ll go check now!”
After he hung up, Chen Xiaobei turned around and said, “Mengcheng, there’s an emergency and I need to leave now. I hope you can understand!”
“Go ahead. I’m not your girlfriend anyway. There’s no need for explanation!”
Lan Mengcheng frowned, a tinge of bitterness in her voice.
Chen Xiaobei had no time for this so he left without saying another word.
“Lan Mengcheng! What the hell is wrong with you?” Lan Mengcheng murmured to herself, her teeth sinking into her lips. “You are not a petty woman… Why did you have to act like a grumbling wife? You were so obviously jealous. Xiaobei might not like us anymore for that…”
She was obviously green with envy. As a proud peerless beauty and Lan Family’s noble descendent, her state of mind was a world away from the minds of Lin Xiang and Songqincheng, who were both of lower origins.
She knew that she was deeply in love with Chen Xiaobei. But there seemed to be a mysterious obstruction, just something that she could not seem to move past.
When she thought about how much Chen Xiaobei cared about Luo Puti, a surge of envy flooded her heart.
Lan Mengcheng took out her phone and dialed a number. “Elder Qin, please prepare a few of the best zongzi for me! Also, help me look up Bei Xuan Faction’s address! I want to see the two elders! Don’t ask any questions! Just hurry up and do it!”
She hung up the phone, brows furrowed.
“Luo Puti again. Bei Xuan Faction again. If I don’t show up, I don’t know how far I will fall behind!”
…
The deep blue sky was clear, not a single cloud in sight, not unlike a calm ocean. It was very beautiful, tranquil and the air very breathable.
Luo Puti stared into nothingness as she sat by her bed, on board a train bound for Golmund.
She had donned on a baseball cap, oversized sunglasses, leather jacket and jeans, taking on the looks of a tough chick. Her ravishing face and alluring body were disguised under all that clothing.
The one thing that could not be concealed however was her exceptional temperament.
Just by sitting there idle was enough to attract the attention of lustful men.
Luckily, the people on the same car were guileless Golmund villagers. Stealing glances at Luo Puti were enough to make their faces burn and their hearts skip beats. None of them were brave enough to approach her.
Of course, there were always exception!
“Excuse me, my gorgeous lady, can we be friends?”
A good-looking young man in a full suit walked over to her, looking very much like a perfect gentleman.
He was very attractive, fresh and clean. The price of his custom suit and leather shoes were not something a regular person could afford! He was not a man a girl would say no to.
But Luo Puti was different. She kept her eyes glued to the window, and said with an iciness that could freeze hell over, “Go away!”
Luo Puti had always been frosty like that.
Chen Xiaobei even nicknamed her ‘the ice queen’.
She only began to warm up a little to Chen Xiaobei after they experienced a brush with death together.
With other men however, would have Luo Puti would always treating them with a frosty attitude, rejecting them and keeping them at arm’s length!
Of course, apart from nature of her character, Luo Puti’s icy attitude towards the young man was also because of her intuition that he did not belong there.
Nearly everyone on board the train was from Golund.
This young man looked like he was about to get onto the runway; out of place enough he might as well have attached the words ‘suspicious’ on his forehead.
There was no way Luo Puti would give him a rat’s ass!
But the young man did not give up. He deepened his smile and said, “I have no ill intention. The journey will be long. I just want to find someone to talk to pass time.”
“Go away!”
Luo Puti did not tear her gaze from the window. Her tone was three times frostier than before.
The villagers around them shuddered, shocked by this woman’s frightfully hostile demeanor.
“Miss, am I Zhuo Qunfeng, so unbearable? Why are you avoiding me like I’m a thief?” The young man’s smile drooped into a frown.
“Zhuo Qunfeng?”
Luo Puti peeled her gaze away from the window and turned to look at the young man.
“Oh, are you also from Jianghu?” Zhuo Qunfeng smiled, and said with an unmistakable confidence, “The fact that you know my name tells me that your standing in Jianghu must be pretty high, am I right?”
Luo Puti took off her glasses to get a better look at the man talking to her. “You really are Kun Lun Faction’s Zhuo Qunfeng!”
“Ah? Mm…”
Zhuo Qunfeng nodded. When Luo Puti took off her glasses, her beauty knocked the breath out of him and he almost forgot his own name.
