I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 720 Ominous Sign

Chapter 720: Chapter 720 Ominous Sign

"No worries, where there’s a will, there’s a way."

Little Qinniang looked up at you and said crisply, "Brother, what if it’s a flood, or even a tsunami?"

Hearing this, a chill ran through your heart!

You turned to look at Zhao’er beside you, then solemnly said to everyone, "Little Yan is right. I will go into the mountains these days and strive for a breakthrough. If all else fails, I’ll first refine a few bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills and Returning Yuan Pills for backup."

"Okay!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After lunch with Zhao’er, you went straight back to your dormitory to pack your belongings.

Just as you stepped out of the dormitory building, you noticed Xian Qianling straddling her Harley motorcycle, her long black hair flowing in the wind, naturally attracting the attention of the boys nearby.

She was obviously waiting for you, looking somewhat travel-worn and perhaps thirsty, as she held a similarly black-colored water bottle and took big gulps. Because of the large movements, some water inevitably dripped from the corner of her mouth, down her slender neck, over her delicate collarbone, and into the deep valley pressed by her zipper.

"Gulp—"

You distinctly heard a chorus of swallowing sounds from the boys behind, beside, and in front of you.

When she took down her water bottle and noticed you standing at the gate, she blurted out, "Get on me."

Huh?

"Ah, sorry, misspoke, get in the car!"

This crazy woman!

What on earth was she thinking!

That line had to be her inner monologue!

"Where to?"

You walked up to Xian Qianling, shaking the backpack on your shoulder, "I’m planning to go out for a few days; if anything comes up, go find Xiao Feng and the others. They can handle ordinary supernatural events now."

"Aren’t you going to the mountains?"

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"Don’t worry about that, get in the car. I’m taking you to a place with a very nice natural environment."

"You’re taking me?"

You frowned, wondering only a fool would hang out with this crazy woman. Who knows if she might pin you down like a mama tiger in the middle of the night to have her way with you?

Seeing the wariness on your face, Xian Qianling glared at you and said indignantly, "Afraid I’m going to eat you?"

"No." You shook your head, "I’m afraid you might swallow me."

"The place I’m taking you is called Longmen Village; there are six villages there, two of which are quite strange. Recently, there have been a series of bizarre incidents, and even several deaths," Xian Qianling spoke somberly, with no mood for jokes, "Longmen Village is located in the deep mountains. To the northwest deep within the mountains, there’s a Heavenly Pond and a Hidden Dragon Canyon, both favored by backpackers from Yu City but inaccessible to visitors, hence unspoiled by human activity."

After listening to this, you didn’t say another word. You quickly straddled the motorcycle, hands on Xian Qianling’s shoulders, and said, "Let’s go!"

With a smirk, Xian Qianling glanced sideways at you, twisted the throttle, and with a roar of the engine, the black Harley tore away under the gaze of the crowd!

Once out of Yu City, they sped in a northwesterly direction. This crazy woman’s driving skills were at a master level; whether she was rushing for time or doing it on purpose, she was certainly fast!

You know, cars and motorcycles perceive speed very differently.

The car’s windshield also visually reduces the feeling of speed, so even if you push the car to two hundred, it doesn’t feel too extreme. This is one main reason why those rich young drivers in supercars often end up in accidents in urban areas.

Motorcycles are different; once the speed hits eighty, the rampant airflow can easily lift a person off!

So Xian Qianling’s posture in the car had her whole body hunkered down, and you?

Initially, you tried to appear nonchalant, but as the airflow grew stronger, there was no choice but to slowly lower your hands which were initially on her shoulders.

Suddenly!

Xian Qianling made a sharp stop, causing you to lurch forward.

Uh?

That felt familiar.

Crap, this crazy woman isn’t wearing a bra!

Bra, oh, a bad omen!

Hurriedly, you moved your hands downward, crossing them and held onto her stomach.

You thought she might scold you for it, but instead, she carried on riding as if nothing had happened.

After a tense moment, you finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, you suddenly realized that Xian Qianling’s waist was much slimmer than it appeared. Your hands easily slid around her stomach, and since she was so thin, your palms crossed and grabbed onto your own elbows.

Now, it was already late spring, coupled with today’s outdoor temperature of about thirty degrees. This crazy woman dressed quite breezily, making you feel as if your arms were in zero-distance contact with her stomach.

Uh-oh?

Not good!

You hurriedly closed your eyes and recited the Heart Sutra to yourself, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, when deeply practicing prajna-paramita, perceived that all five skandhas are empty, and was saved from all suffering and distress. Sariputra, form does not differ from emptiness, emptiness does not differ from form. Form itself is emptiness, emptiness itself is form..."

After finally suppressing your inner turmoil, Xian Qianling’s speed also gradually decreased.

Opening your eyes, you found the motorcycle was now traveling on a winding mountain path. The road wasn’t wide, just two lanes, and with many twists and turns stretching deep into the high mountains.

Since the speed had decelerated, your hands gradually loosened and drew back, holding onto the metal tubes on both sides of the motorcycle to prevent your body from being carried away by the unruly airflow.

As you let go, your keen senses caught Xian Qianling exhaling a long breath, her body easing.

Apparently, that journey had her on edge too.

Thinking of this, you couldn’t help but shake your head with a wry smile. To be honest, among all the women, the one you feared the most was this crazy woman who never played by the rules.

Ironically, when it comes to romantic encounters that others dream of, you couldn’t be more anxious to avoid them.

You are no Liu Xiahui, nor are you impotent; the reason you can often wander among flowers without a stain and remain unaffected is because you have a determined heart—okay, that’s nonsense!

Truthfully, you are afraid.

Yes, afraid!

A famous playboy once said that an outstanding man will surely have many lovers in his life, but only one true love.

For you, the title of "true love" has always wavered between Zhao’er and Wu Qiyi. You’re unsure, but you choose Zhao’er because it seems something mysterious is pulling you toward her.

Moreover, purely considering status and capabilities, Wu Qiyi really doesn’t need you to worry about her, but Zhao’er does.

As for others, like Xian Qianling in front of you, you’re scared, afraid that one day something genuine might happen with her; if that were to happen, it would truly be over.

Throughout your life, you’ve always had a strong sense of responsibility. If you ever did have relations, you would undoubtedly take responsibility until the end. But then, what about Zhao’er? And Little Yun?

So, no matter what, you must control your own spirit and maintain a certain distance from them.

In matters of love, you know as long as you hold firm, things won’t tip over to the worse side.

But really, will things be as simple as you imagine?
