"Oasis, it's an oasis!" When Hu Tiehua saw the green color in the desert, he could not help but rub his eyes hard. He immediately cheered and did a few somersaults.
"Are you sure it's not a mirage? Don't forget how badly that phantom tricked us last time?”Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose. Ever since she had cultivated the Art of Returning Nature, she had become even calmer. There was even a trace of ethereal aura on her body.
"I won't be wrong this time. Otherwise, I, Old Hu, will dig out both of my eyes!”Hu Tiehua cheered nonstop,"We must eat and drink to our hearts 'content later to compensate for the two of you for your hard work over the past ten days!"”
"Thirteen days!" Ye Qiu wiped away the sand on his face, and there was a sigh between his brows.
Although the journey was estimated to take ten days, the time spent practicing every day and getting lost in the mirage greatly exceeded Chu Liuxiang's expectations.
If Ye Qiu hadn't started practicing the Origin Creation Technique and didn't need water to eat, one of them would have fallen.
"This is the terror of the desert…I don't want to come back a second time in my life!”Even the fearless Chu Liuxiang still had some lingering fear.
"This must be the oasis.”Ye Qiu looked around and said with certainty," It's just that there are still people there at this time. I wonder if they're friends or foes?”
Hu Tiehua and Chu Liuxiang looked at each other. They could also faintly hear the sound of human voices, and their expressions could not help but turn solemn.
"I'll go take a look!" Chu Liuxiang was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up.
"I know your lightness skill is very good, perhaps even a little stronger than mine…but you've only just started practicing the Origin Returning Creation Technique. If you don't eat or drink for thirteen days, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on any longer…Why don't you let me go?”Ye Qiu stood in front of Chu Liuxiang.
"Why not me?" Hu Tiehua was startled and immediately shouted.
"Because even if I let you have one hand, you still can't beat me!”Ye Qiu only used one sentence to make Hu Tiehua shrink into a corner and draw circles.
There were two lakes in the oasis, one large and one small. In the surrounding shade of the trees, there was a faint bell-like laughter.
In this desert that was filled with death, this laughter was really out of place. It was like a cave demoness tempting people to go deep and kill!
However, Ye Qiu had a smile on his face and didn't stop.
Like a gust of wind, he bypassed the patrolling golden spear warriors and came to the pool.
Behind the veil that blocked their vision were five naked girls!
What was even more coincidental was that Ye Qiu actually knew all five of these girls. He had seen them not long ago!
A beautiful long-haired girl was being served by four maids. She seemed to have just come out of the bath and was actually naked!
The other four girls with drooping hair smiled coquettishly. Some were holding bath towels, some were holding gauze clothes, and some were holding jewelry. They brushed the water droplets off the long-haired girl's body as if they were on a pilgrimage.
The long-haired girl's beautiful body was like a perfect statue under the gradually setting sun. Drops of crystal water rolled down her flawless neck and onto her jade-like chest. Her laughter was like silver bells, and her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming in spring.
She glanced over with a hint of surprise, then smiled and said,""Hasn't Your Highness seen enough?"
"I naturally haven't seen enough!" Ye Qiu smiled and moved closer, as if everything here originally belonged to him."If I say that I've seen enough of this scene, then wouldn't I be a fool?”
This girl was Princess Pipa, who had just met Ye Qiu previously! Her face was slightly flushed, but she did not immediately put on her muslin clothes. Instead, she giggled and said,"I also know that Your Highness is not a fool…"
His words seemed to contain an intoxicating invitation.
Ye Qiu wasn't someone who didn't know how to flirt. He directly went forward and hugged the girl's jade-like arm.
The six figures merged together. It was deeper than a pipa, but it was filled with melodious music that constantly sounded from the gauze screen.
Outside was a terrifying desert filled with hardship, danger, hunger, thirst, and blood, but inside was a gentle paradise!
……
After a long while, Princess Pipa's pleasant voice sounded. She panted slightly,""Your…your body, is it made of iron?”
"If you knew that I haven't eaten or drunk for more than ten days, I wonder what expression you would have?" Ye Qiu giggled.”
"Liar!"
The curtain was pulled open, and Ye Qiu also put on his clothes. The four maids still had a satisfied blush on their faces as they served him with their soft hands.
"Damn rooster, where are you?"
Hu Tiehua's energetic shout came from the front, along with the angry rebuke of the golden spear warriors and the sound of them falling into the water.
"Let's go! Otherwise, my companions will be waiting anxiously!"
At the edge of the larger pond, there were three magnificent tents. Groups of golden spear warriors surrounded the lawn. In the middle of the lawn was Hu Tiehua, who was shouting angrily. He had already grabbed one of the golden spear warriors by the neck.
Ye Qiu held Princess Pipa's hand and came to the tent.
"Old Hu, stop! They are not enemies!"
Chu Liuxiang grabbed Hu Tiehua's palm, and Hu Tiehua was already so angry that his lungs were about to explode!
He pointed at Ye Qiu and said loudly,"Okay!" We were so worried about you outside, and you actually…you actually…"
Seeing the extremely shy Princess Pipa standing side by side with Ye Qiu, how could Hu Tiehua not know what had happened?
" Haha…" Ye Qiu rubbed his nose."I just happened to see an acquaintance. This is Princess Pipa of the Qiuci Kingdom!”
"Your Highness!"
Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua looked at each other, but they no longer sized up Princess Pipa. How could they look at the woman of an old friend and make him jealous?
"Since the two of you are friends of the Desert King, you are also our honored guests. Please come and see my father!”Princess Pipa said gently.
Inside the tent was a woolen felt that was a hundred times softer and more gorgeous than the lawn outside. Several low tables were arranged on the woolen felt, and the tables were piled with fresh fruits, wine, and dishes. Several people in fresh clothes were happily sitting on the woolen felt and drinking wine.
The happiest one was a man in a red robe with a curly beard and a golden crown. He sat behind a table in the middle, holding a golden cup in his left hand and a beautiful woman's slender waist in his right hand. He laughed heartily and said,"My good daughter, where did you bring this guest from?”
Princess Pipa pursed her lips and smiled. She walked to her father's side like a swallow, bent down, and whispered a few words into his ear.
"So it's the King of the Desert, Ji Bingyan!”The Qiuci King was moved." That is truly the most honorable guest. Please take a seat!"”
The deterrence of the Desert King was not small. Almost everyone in the tent focused their attention on Ye Qiu.
"Thank you so much!" Ye Qiu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down with Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua.
The Qiuci King's face was glowing with excitement."Little Wang has nothing else to like, but hospitality! Today, there were five distinguished guests from afar and the King of the Desert. It was truly an honor to bring light to my humble abode! Everyone, please enjoy. You're welcome!"
Although a featherless phoenix was not as good as a chicken, the Qiuci King had a large family and some wealth. The dishes at the banquet were very good, and the wine was very fragrant. In the desert, it was even rarer than anything else.
However, although they had been fasting for more than ten days, Ye Qiu and Chu Liuxiang still maintained a little elegance when they ate. In comparison, Hu Tiehua really wolfed down his food and gulped it down.
"Humph!"
If Ye Qiu was like this, with his reputation, the five people on the other side might have tolerated it. But now that they saw Hu Tiehua, a seemingly nameless pawn, acting like this, one of the five people invited by the Qiuci King could not stand it and snorted coldly.
"I wonder where the five heroes came from?”Chu Liuxiang had always been someone who was willing to think for others, so she toasted the Qiuci King.
The Qiuci King proudly introduced a few words, and Chu Liuxiang realized that four of the five people on the other side were actually famous experts in the world of martial arts!
The famed Wu Brothers of the Dragon Sword Sect, the lone bandit Situ Liuxing, and the merciless assassin Du Huan were all renowned names in the martial arts world. Even the most obscure Wang Chong seemed to possess unfathomable martial arts!
These five martial arts experts were naturally the bodyguards that the Qiuci King had hired to guard against Shi Guanyin.
Unfortunately, his foresight was flawed. Among the five bodyguards he hired, three of them were bribed assassins, and the other two were simply slackers!
Ye Qiu glanced at the seemingly excited Qiuci King and suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful.
"Your Highness!"
At this moment, a warrior hurriedly opened the tent and entered. He whispered a few words into the Qiuci King's ear. There were also a few Chinese characters, such as Shi Guanyin, Bliss Star, and so on.
The Qiuci King's expression changed as he looked at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu didn't move. After drinking a cup of wine, he smiled and said,"Was the Blissful Star robbed?"
"Not bad!" Princess Pipa, who was beside the Qiuci King, stood up angrily."Aren't you the King of the Desert? Why did you accept our betrothal money and even…let this happen?”
She was so anxious that tears were about to fall. She was like a resentful woman who had been abandoned. Hu Tiehua and Chu Liuxiang lowered their heads in embarrassment. Only Ye Qiu still looked calm.
"Please rest assured, King and Princess! Although the Star of Bliss was taken away, since I've agreed to this, I'll naturally find it…"
"That's good! That's good!" The Qiuci Crown Prince heaved a sigh of relief. Only Princess Pipa was still pouting, clearly sulking.
"But…this Blissful Star is so easily robbed. There must be a spy lying in ambush beside you, Qiuci King!”
However, Ye Qiu's next words immediately made the atmosphere tense.
"A spy?" The Qiuci King was startled, but Princess Pipa's eyes lit up. She said loudly,"That's right. If there were no spies, how could outsiders know the route we took?”
In an instant, everyone's gaze in the tent was focused on the five martial artists!
"Are you suspecting us?" The killer, Heartless Du Huan, stood up. His pale face actually had a few traces of anger and redness.
Wu Baiyun and Wu Qingtian also stood up."We came from thousands of miles away to thank your highness for your generous betrothal gift. Now that your highness suspects us, we can't work together on different paths. Please forgive us for taking our leave!”
"Why, why?" "I sincerely invite you," the King of Qiuci waved his hands,"so why would I doubt you?" Moreover, you've just come from the Central Plains, so how would you know our secret?”
This explanation was very reasonable. The Wu brothers and Du Huan's expressions eased slightly.
Chu Liuxiang's eyes flashed," If that's the case…could it be that your enemy has already planted spies in your close friends?"”
The Qiuci King twisted his body and looked at the warriors on both sides. His expression seemed to be very uneasy.
"The Princess Consort is here!"
Suddenly, the tent was opened. A few young girls in embroidered clothes slowly walked in, holding onto a long dress that dragged on the ground. Their hair was slightly messy, and their bearing was noble.
Her starry eyes were slightly dizzy, and her face was still somewhat sickly, but it added a bit of charm. Although she was not young, she still looked beautiful and radiant. She was a heavenly beauty, and when her eyes turned, there were thousands of kinds of amorous feelings, making people almost unable to breathe.
Everyone could not help but lower their heads, not daring to look at each other.
Only Chu Liuxiang and Ye Qiu were still staring at each other without blinking. They were both lawless people, and they would not mistreat themselves. Since the heavens had created such a beautiful woman, if they could not appreciate her, not only would they let down the good intentions of the heavens, but they would also be torturing them.
Princess Pipa had already walked over with a smile. The Qiuci King also stood up and said,"My beloved concubine is still sick, how can she be so tired?……Sit down and be careful!"
This flirtatious Qiuci King obviously loved his princess to the extreme, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly leave in the wind.
After seeing Wang Fei, this Qiuci King seemed to have a backbone. He said to Ye Qiu,"Little Wang is already at a loss here. Everything will be entrusted to your highness to take care of!”
"There's no need to entrust it to me!" Ye Qiu waved the folding fan in his hand and smiled faintly."It's just a few spies. I've already found traces of them!”
"Good, great, quickly tell me!”the Qiuci King said impatiently.
"A traitor? Naturally, they were the Wu brothers and the ruthless killer Du Huan!”Ye Qiu pointed at the three of them.
"Ji!" Wu Qingtian unsheathed his Dragon Swimming Sword, and a snow-white sword light rippled out.""Even if you are the king of the desert, you can't slander me!”
"That's right. If you don't give us brothers an explanation today, your blood will be spilled on the spot!”Wu Baiyun drew his sword as well. The two brothers had dominated the martial world with the 88 - 64 Dragon Sword. Their sword skills were not to be underestimated.
"Is that so?" "The Qiuci King gave you ten thousand taels of silver, but the person who wanted to kill him gave you twenty thousand taels!" You sent six assassins this time, but there are only three here! The remaining three were lying in ambush outside, and one of them was the black monkey Sun Kong. Do you want me to continue?"
"No need!" Wu Qing Tian and Wu Bai Yun looked at each other, both of them were terrified of having their underwear exposed.
Several golden spear warriors rushed up angrily. However, the sword light flashed continuously like a swimming dragon, and the golden spear warriors were instantly hit in their vital points and fell.
" You…you really are…" The Qiuci King screamed,""But aren't you from the Chivalry Sect?”
"Hehe…I'll teach you a lesson today!”"Those who can be bribed by money are not real chivalrous people. Since they can be bribed once, they can be bribed a second time!" Du Huan laughed sinisterly.”
He turned to look at Ye Qiu's table and said coldly,"Although you, Ji Bingyan, are very famous, we are only the first wave of people. In the second wave, there is even a Red Spot from the Central Plains. He is the number one assassin in the world, and his sword skills are faster than you can imagine. You'd better not get involved in this mess.”
Hearing this, the Qiuci King was so frightened that he shrank into a corner. Princess Pipa was in tears.
" Haha…" Ye Qiu suddenly laughed,""What do you take me, the King of the Desert, for? He actually wanted to rely on a mere bonus to get rid of them?”
"It seems that we are going to be enemies today!”Du Huan said coldly.
"I'm so angry! Don't attack this time, leave it all to me!”Hu Tiehua tore open the front of his shirt and jumped onto the stage.
Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose with a bitter smile,""Ever since Old presbyopic entered the desert, things have not been going well for him. It's inevitable that he will be frustrated at this time. It's good to let him vent!”
"You three brats were entrusted by someone but didn't do it. You're all despicable and shameless.”As Hu Tiehua stood in the middle, he naturally had the temperament of an expert.
"What an arrogant tone! Let me fight you!" The killer, Merciless Du Huan, walked as he spoke, but by the time he said the last word, his right palm had already reached out from behind him like a poisonous snake, aiming straight at Hu Tiehua's chest. Under the light, his hand was shining with a black light, which was very terrifying.
There were five black halos on this hand. Judging from the ugly luster, the steel rings must have been dipped in a deadly poison.
