She had thought about it earlier! Going to Shun Yan City was not a matter of spending a short time on the road and then arriving at the destination. She thought of taking along Old White to slip away stealthily, but Old White stayed home for too long. Once it went outside, this horse was unable to gallop.
If they went on like this, when would they get to Shun Yan City?
When she decided to leave for Shun Yan City, she asked someone to deliver the message to Hell’s Palace. If Xuanyuan Mo Ze could get to Shun Yan City at that time was another thing. If he couldn’t, she would pass by Hell’s Palace to look for him.
After all, going to the distant Sky Mountain range would take two or three months for the return trip. If she had his company on the road, she would at least have his care.
“Mistress, sit tight. I’ll dash now.” As soon as Old White finished speaking, it immediately broke into a gallop and ran. Since Feng Jiu didn’t sit well, she was thrust to the back. Fortunately, she pulled the rope firmly and was finally able to steady her figure.
Old White ran on the mountain path with the galloping speed. Only the clip-clopping sounds of its hooves echoed throughout this mountain road. A swirl of yellow sands rose up to the air following Old White’s gallop…
At nightfall, Old White slowed its canter. “Mistress, I’m thirsty. Let’s look for a place to rest!”
Seeing that they’ve travelled not a short distance in a day, Feng Jiu nodded. “Alright! Find a place to rest.” With that, she turned around, jumped down from the horse and walked into the woods beside the path while stretching her waist and moving her sore muscles and bones. Then, she told Old White, “Go find water yourself!”
Old White wobbled a bit then shook its body and went out alone to find a water source. Hearing the burbling water flow, it found a stream and leaned forward to drink.
However, at this time, it heard a faint voice coming from downstream the river. Filled with curiosity, Old White went down the path through the weeds to the downstream. When seeing a scene in the water, its eyes lit up and it couldn’t help drooling. Old White laid inside a pile of weeds to hide.
A beauty!
It gasped in admiration inwardly. Its pair of eyes stared fixedly at the figure soaking inside the water. At this time, the sky was not completely dark. Old White could clearly see the woman’s snow-white shoulder as well as her faintly discernible “spring scenery”.
However, after a few glances, Old White recalled its Mistress gave it a warning not to be too lecherous. So, it thought of leaving first and going back to talk to its mistress. However, when it withdrew and was ready to go, it found a man hiding in the weed pile not far away. The man was staring at the woman in the water.
Seeing this, the horse pulled a long face and immediately made a detour, going behind the man who was peeping at the “spring scenery” in the water. The horse lifted its hooves and directly kicked the man out.
“Pervert! How dare you to peep at a woman bathing!” Old White cursed and raised its face, feeling that it had done a good deed.
“Ah!”
The man was kicked out unaware, lost his balance and plunged into the water with a loud splash and spattered a lot of water.
As soon as the man cried out in surprise, the woman screamed, “Ah…”
