Si Lian’s head was a bit dazed.
She remained somewhat dazed for the rest of the way.
My daughter… found a wife?
At this time, because they were wanted, Jiang Ke’er and Si Lian had to leave the Hotel to find a new hiding place.
Si Lian held the reins while sitting at the front of the horse’s back, while Jiang Ke’er sat behind her, boredly pulling out her Xiao and closing her eyes.
Across the wilderness, a melodious and tactful tune echoed.
It wasn’t world-shakingly beautiful or shocking; the technique was even a bit rusty, but the player was very earnest, and the notes flowing from her fingertips were enough to touch one’s heartstrings.
“It sounds really good,” Si Lian sighed emotionally, gently swaying her head to the rhythm of the horse’s hooves and the sound of the Xiao.
When the song ended, Jiang Ke’er suddenly asked curiously, “Aunt Si Lian, why is our squad called the Bagpipe Squad?”
Si Lian froze.
She never answered this question.
But thinking of the title “Blue Shadow’s wife” and Jiang Ke’er’s resistant appearance when mentioning Qiao Xiaoxian, Si Lian hesitated.
“I once had a daughter.”
“Eh?!” Jiang Ke’er was shocked.
She really hadn’t guessed that a cold and aloof woman like Si Lian, who drifted alone outside, had once had a family.
“She…” Si Lian hesitated, originally wanting to take the opportunity to mention Qiao Xiaoxian in an attempt to change Jiang Ke’er’s view of her, or at least stop her from being so hateful… but in the end, she only sighed softly and said, “She’s the one who gave it this name.”
Si Lian decided not to interfere too much in the affairs of the younger generation, lest she make things worse.
Jiang Ke’er had her own judgment of people; there was no need for Si Lian to over-embellish or be too diligent. If Jiang Ke’er found out the truth later, it might instead make her suspicious of being deceived.
“I see…”
Jiang Ke’er didn’t continue asking, but from Si Lian’s tone, she had already filled in a series of sad stories in her head.
Aunt Si Lian’s daughter must have died young, and so the name Bagpipe Squad carried all her longing and sustenance for her daughter.
Therefore, to her, the squad was like her own child.
Jiang Ke’er gently hugged Si Lian, pressing her face against Si Lian’s back.
Si Lian’s heart felt warm. The more days they spent together, the more she liked Jiang Ke’er.
After all, this child was truly too gentle and too considerate of her feelings.
Qiao Xiaoxian was hidden inside the Underworld Province Cauldron, trailing far behind Si Lian and Jiang Ke’er.
Watching Jiang Ke’er softly hugging Si Lian’s back, looking like a little bird leaning on a person, Qiao Xiaoxian’s teeth felt sour, and her fists cracked.
“Bastard…”
I treat you as a wife, but you actually want to…
Where is this old woman better than me?
“Here, try this,” Si Lian took out an ugly orange, peeled it, and handed half to Jiang Ke’er’s mouth.
“Ah~ mmm~”
Jiang Ke’er closed her eyes and opened her mouth, letting Si Lian stuff a segment of the orange into her mouth to chew carefully.
“My daughter used to love eating this kind of orange when she was a child,” Si Lian smiled, “although it’s not as good as your cooking, it’s very refreshing and cuts through the grease, having a unique flavor.”
“Mmm~ delicious~”
The more Qiao Xiaoxian watched from behind, the greater her anger grew.
Fine, they’re even playing feeding games now. You guys are progressing quite fast!
Si Lian, not only are you treacherous and abandoned your family, but I didn’t think you’d also be so skilled at hitting on your own daughter’s girlfriend. I… underestimated you.
Thinking of this, her anger rose from her heart, and evil thoughts grew from her guts!
She couldn’t watch anymore!
She had to do something!
Even if the competitor was a terrifying fellow who wasn’t even in the same league, she absolutely could not just sit and wait for death!
“Where are we going now?” Jiang Ke’er asked.
“Let’s go find Ruan Ruan,” Si Lian said.
Thus, the Shun Wind Colt’s hooves went tap-tap, slowly heading toward the original Town.
Jiang Ke’er suddenly remembered that an Honored One in that city still had an unresolved grudge against them. At that time, the other party had sent several powerful people in the Qiyao Realm to kill the Bagpipe Squad, only to be scared away by her bluffing.
The Shun Wind Colt had also been captured at that time.
But now that Si Lian was by her side, there was nothing to worry about.
“Da-da, da-da…”
The sudden, urgent sound of horse hooves was very distinct on this open plain. Jiang Ke’er and Si Lian turned back in astonishment, and with just a glance, they were instantly stunned.
The white horse’s long mane danced in the wind, its sharp-edged bones fully revealing the posture of a divine steed. Its four hooves produced wind, and its eyes shimmered with spiritual light.
It was an exquisitely beautiful horse, its body surrounded by a faint glow, appearing as dazzling as a dream in this night.
It was actually a rare Cross-realm Divine Steed!
And on the back of this horse was another exquisitely beautiful shadow.
She wore a semi-transparent black gauze dress, her slender white legs faintly visible through the gauze.
Her well-proportioned feet stepped on the stirrups, revealing her delicate ankles, which were wrapped in thin black silk ribbons.
The wild wind blew her azure bangs to both sides, fluttering behind her head, revealing a peerless face that would even captivate the heavens.
At that moment, all the moonlight in Shenzhou seemed to gather on her body.
She galloped to the side of Jiang Ke’er and Si Lian, her chin tilted slightly upward. She glanced at the Shun Wind Colt that Si Lian and Jiang Ke’er were riding, a hint of disdain appearing at the corners of her smiling mouth.
The Shun Wind Colt, which was hard to find for ten thousand Jing on the market, lowered its head, not even daring to look at the white horse beside it.
“Come over,” on the back of the white horse, Qiao Xiaoxian looked at Jiang Ke’er and said in a calm but unquestionable tone.
The momentum of her grand appearance completely crushed Si Lian in an instant. Riding side by side with Si Lian was like comparing the moon to a star.
“???”
After a brief moment of distraction, Jiang Ke’er swallowed her saliva and suppressed her wildly beating heart.
She didn’t dare to look at Qiao Xiaoxian in this state again, and then said, “It’s New Year’s, has something gone wrong with your brain? Is dressing up so flamboyantly meant to seduce an Immortal?”
“Why would I need such things to seduce an Immortal?” Qiao Xiaoxian’s eyelids lowered slightly, a hint of sadness surfacing on her face. “As long as I wish, even an Immortal with the most steadfast Dao heart would be unable to resist… I can obtain everything, yet I cannot get one stubborn blockhead.”
“Get lost, don’t flirt with me.”
“…”
Jiang Ke’er’s answer almost made Si Lian tumble off the horse.
How did these two people, who had completely different art styles, get together?!
Suddenly, a small voice came to Si Lian’s ear.
It was Jiang Ke’er using Secret Voice Transmission to her, saying: “Aunt Si Lian, cooperate with me. Let’s pretend to be a couple and help me shake off this piece of gum.”
“……Woc.”
Si Lian was in a state of frantic confusion.
This psychological pressure was a bit high!
Thus, Si Lian had no choice but to use Secret Voice Transmission to Qiao Xiaoxian, saying: “Qing Yi just sent a Secret Voice Transmission to me, saying she wants me to play the role of a couple with her…”
She didn’t intend to get involved in this matter, nor did she want either side to get hurt.
“No need to explain, I saw it all.” However, Qiao Xiaoxian only replied with a cold sneer through Secret Voice Transmission.
“???”
No, what did you see?!
Wait, things are not what you think!
The seniority in this Daemonic Battlefield is all wrong, ahhh!
