Chapter 374: Chapter 261: A Person with Great Momentum, Traveling 3000 Li a Day_2

After the carriage started moving, it almost never stopped; even their lunch was eaten on the carriage.

Because the spiritual energy in Central State was so dense, the power of the Array on the carriage was stronger as well.

Once the carriage was in motion, not only was its speed faster than before, but even the horses seemed more at ease.

However, Hu Zezhi started to worry as the afternoon approached.

“Mr. Lu, we’ve been traveling for so long, shouldn’t we stop to let the horses rest?”

“It’s fine,” Lu Qing smiled. “Our horses are exceptional steeds that can travel a thousand miles in a day; this distance is nothing to them.

Moreover, Ma Gu has a wealth of experience in driving carriages. If the horses were truly tired, he would let them rest.”

“I see; I had no idea your horses were so extraordinary,” Hu Zezhi said, finally feeling relieved.

Lu Qing just smiled and didn’t continue the conversation.

What he had said wasn’t untrue.

In fact, after days of travel, the two tall horses pulling their carriage had been nourished by the Array’s power every day.

They were already exceptional horses specifically chosen by the Wei Family, and with so many days of nourishing from the power of the Array, they had gradually developed a hint of spiritual nature, significantly improving their strength and endurance.

Even without the enhancement of the Array’s power, they could run tirelessly for an entire day.

It was just that they would not be as fast.

Lu Qing even thought that if they continued like this, it was not impossible for the two horses pulling their carriage to eventually develop spiritual wisdom and become spiritual beasts one day.

Unfortunately, the Li Huo Sect’s inheritance did not include a Technique for rearing spiritual beasts. According to legend, that was the unique legacy of the Beast Taming Sect, difficult for other sects to obtain.

Otherwise, he might have found a way to advance the evolution of these two fine horses.

While Lu Qing was lost in thought, Little Li crawled out from a conch-like small nest beside him and, still groggy with sleep, climbed onto Lu Qing’s knees and laid down to continue dozing.

“Little Li, you’re awake. Are you hungry?”

Lu Qing stroked its head.

Little Li wagged its tail as a response to indicate it wasn’t hungry, but its eyes remained closed.

“Little Li, you’ve been so lazy recently, always oversleeping,” Little Yan teased it on the side.

However, Little Li just continued squinting its eyes, not engaging in play with Little Yan.

Lu Qing gently stroked Little Li’s fur.

Ever since the little guy started practicing the Inheritance Skill in its mind, it had become increasingly sleepy.

Not only did it often sleep deeply at night, but it also spent most of its daytime hours in slumber.

The time it spent playing with Little Yan had decreased significantly.

Yet, Lu Qing could feel the strength within Little Li growing steadily, indicating its Cultivation Technique was being practiced correctly.

The only question was whether its propensity for sleep would grow increasingly severe, or if it would diminish once it made some progress with its Technique.

Hu Zezhi curiously watched Little Li laying on Lu Qing’s knees.

She had seen the little beast when she first boarded the carriage.

But later, when they set off, it had crawled into the conch-like nest to sleep, not even coming out for lunch.

Although she was curious, she didn’t feel it was polite to ask.

Now, seeing Lu Qing and the others speaking to the little beast, and it seemingly understanding them, piqued her curiosity even more.

“Mr. Lu, this is…”

“Oh, its name is Little Li. It’s Little Yan’s playmate and also our companion,” Lu Qing explained with a smile.

“I thought I saw it understanding what you were saying earlier.”

“That’s right, Little Li can understand us,” Lu Qing nodded.

“How marvelous, may I touch it?”

Hu Zezhi’s eyes sparkled slightly as she looked at Little Li.

“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” Lu Qing shook his head, “Little Li has never been fond of being touched by strangers.”

Little Li slightly opened its eyes, cast a sidelong glance at Hu Zezhi, and then turned around to crawl into Lu Qing’s embrace, continuing its slumber.

Why is there another noisy woman, two-legged creatures really are meddlesome…

Hu Zezhi: …

She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt as though the little beast seemed to be showing disdain for her.

The carriage sped along the road, only stopping as dusk approached.

“Mr. Lu, it’s getting dark, and there’s a town ahead. Should we go there to find lodging?”

Ma Gu’s voice came from the front of the carriage.

“Let’s go in. Miss Hu has injured her leg, and it’s not suitable for us to stay outdoors anymore. Besides, I want to buy some medicinal herbs to prepare medicine,” said Lu Qing.

Upon hearing this, Hu Zezhi felt a warmth in her heart, and a blush appeared on her face once again.

Thus, Ma Gu steered the carriage slowly towards the town, while Lu Qing opened the carriage window to look outside.

As the carriage approached the town and saw the huge stone stele standing outside, he read softly, “Yunlai Town?”

Hu Zezhi, who had been lost in thoughts, was startled by the name: “Mr. Lu, what did you just say?”

“I said this town is called Yunlai Town. The name is quite interesting.”

“Yunlai Town!” Hu Zezhi’s beautiful eyes widened, “Mr. Lu, are you sure it’s Yunlai Town?”

“You can see for yourself. There’s a large stone stele outside the town with these three big characters on it.”

Lu Qing made room for her, and despite the injury on her leg, Hu Zezhi moved her body to look out the window.

Then, when she saw the huge stone stele and the appearance of the town, her eyes suddenly widened.

“It really is the Yunlai Town my father mentioned, but how is this possible?”

“What’s wrong, Miss Hu? Is there something amiss with Yunlai Town?” Lu Qing asked after hearing her remarks.

“No, it’s not that. I need to look at the map.”

Hu Zezhi, as if awakening from a dream, took out a parchment map from the bundle she had been carrying. When she saw the markings on the map clearly, she was completely dumbstruck.

“Miss Hu, what on earth has happened?”

Seeing her reaction, Lu Qing grew concerned.

Even the elder doctor and Wei Zian were curiously looking at her.

“Mr. Lu, tell me the truth. After I got on the carriage, did I faint for several days because of my leg?”

Hu Zezhi, looking a bit dazed, raised her head and asked Lu Qing.

“Not at all,” Lu Qing responded, puzzled, “Haven’t you been awake and chatting with us all the time? And didn’t we just leave Azure Dragon City this morning?”

“But, if it’s only been one day, how could we have traveled from Azure Dragon City to Yunlai Town, three thousand miles away?”

Hu Zezhi’s face was still frozen, as if her mind had been stunned by some shock.

“So that’s what this is about.”

Lu Qing started to laugh, thinking it was all because of this. He had feared that something had really happened or that Yunlai Town had some problem.

“Haven’t I mentioned before that the horses pulling our carriage are fine steeds capable of covering a lot of ground? They run fast, so it’s normal for them to be a bit quicker.

All right, Miss Hu, we’ve arrived, let’s get off and find somewhere to stay first. Little Yan, help Sister Hu down.”

“Got it, big brother.”

With Little Yan’s tender reply, Lu Qing and the elder doctor were the first to walk down from the carriage.

“Sister Hu, let’s go, I’ll help you.”

Little Yan approached the still dazed Hu Zezhi.

“Uh, oh, thank you, Little Yan.”

With Little Yan’s support, Hu Zezhi slowly stepped off the carriage.

However, her mind was still in turmoil, repeatedly going over what Lu Qing had said earlier.

Indeed, Lu Qing had mentioned their carriage was pulled by fine steeds.

But could covering three thousand miles in a single day really be called covering a great distance every day?

“Miss Hu, I forgot to make you a crutch. Please make do with this wooden stick for now.”

At that moment, Lu Qing appeared with a wooden stick thick as a wrist and handed it over.

“Thank you, Mr. Lu.”

Hu Zezhi took the stick, using it temporarily as a crutch, and stood firmly on the ground.

She was, after all, a martial artist at the peak of the Perfect Blood Qi Realm. Despite her broken leg, as long as she had something to lean on, she could still walk steadily.

But when she looked at the two horses in front of the carriage, she was taken aback again.

Because she saw that the two fine steeds, which had run all day carrying them for three thousand miles, were now leisurely nibbling on some wild grass by the roadside, seemingly not very tired at all.

Suddenly, Hu Zezhi’s mind became chaotic again.
