Chapter 1324 — Powering Up Before Departure
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"All right, let us all rest. I am tired too, and are we not to set out early tomorrow morning?" Every night now Wei Zhao seized every moment to cultivate, so that even if the Fire Spirit Holy Fruit could not be found, he might still prolong Feng Xiaoxiao's life once he became a Heaven-rank master!
Though in effect it could not match the once-and-for-all cure of the Fire Spirit Holy Fruit, it was still a relatively safe fallback, because Wei Zhao was certain that the day he reached the Heaven rank would surely come!
Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan did not object, for by now the hour was already late. Yet here they were in Qiu Lingshan's office, and how to sleep had become a problem!
In the lounge attached to Qiu Lingshan's office there was a small bed, which could barely squeeze in two people if they pressed together, while in the outer office there was a sofa that could sleep only one!
"Wei Zhao, you and Lingshan sleep on the bed inside, and I will take the sofa?" Chen Yuxuan had already accepted in his heart the fact of Qiu Lingshan and Wei Zhao, and so he suggested.
Qiu Lingshan's face flushed red at once, yet she did not object. In her heart she had long since counted herself as Wei Zhao's woman. He had seen everything of her, and time and again she had acted spoiled and teasing before him. Why would she mind sleeping with Wei Zhao? She could hardly wish for more!
"No need. I do not sleep. Cultivation alone restores my strength. I can rest sitting in the office chair. You two sleep." Wei Zhao said lightly.
"That works too!" Chen Yuxuan nodded. "Then I will go sleep on the sofa first."
Chen Yuxuan could see the disappointment on Qiu Lingshan's face, but this was no business he could meddle in. Better to sleep first.
"Then I will go rest too..." Qiu Lingshan knew Wei Zhao was a man who did exactly as he said. If he would not go himself, no amount of forcing would be of any use.
Nothing was said through the night. Early the next morning, the three set out on their journey, bound for that ancient tomb in the suburban county of Songshan City!
The three rode in an off-road vehicle. The car belonged to Chen Yuxuan, though its original plates had already been removed and replaced with a fake set. This was a common trick among grave robbers, and Qiu Lingshan and the others naturally followed local custom.
Although the ancient tomb lay in a suburban county near Songshan City, it was still quite far from the city proper, about five hours drive! With no expressway and mountain roads along the way, five hours was a conservative estimate.
Sure enough, by the time the three reached their destination, it was already evening of that day. It was a desolate spot at the foot of a mountain, with only a small village below. One could see the economy here was underdeveloped. The village was all flat-roofed houses, and conditions were none too good.
"Past this village and about ten more kilometers ahead lies the mountain range where the ancient tomb was found!" Qiu Lingshan looked at the map and said to Chen Yuxuan at the wheel and to Wei Zhao beside him, "Shall we rest in this village first, spend the night, and go over tomorrow?"
