The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 288: Secret behind the golden marks

"Will it be fine leaving her all alone?"

"It's fine. You might not know this, but the Winter Jade Empire has a very long history. And due to that, there are many secret protectors who are responsible for keeping the new Empress safe and help her whenever she needs it."

Nodding his head Jian Shen continued flying along with Xifeng who had literally left the position of the Empress of the Winter Jade Empire.

"What? Now that you've obtained me, are you trying to go after my daughter?"

Stopping flying and looking towards Xifeng who was glaring at him through narrow eyes full of suspicion, Jian Shen laughed and said, "I never thought that you were the jealous type, Xifeng."

"Humph! You still don't know a lot about me. But stop trying to change the subject."

Hugging Xifeng whose eyes were about to disappear due to how narrow they were turning by the second, Jian Shen said, "Why would I want the little daughter, when I have the beautiful and mature mother all for myself."

"Humph!"

Snorting cutely and not saying anything, Xifeng just said that she was a little in the edge because she had been betrayed once before as well.

"By the way, did that boy really risk his life to marry Luli for so special reason?"

"What?"

"I mean. Did he really do that to marry her and no other special reason like for the kingdom or anything else?"

"Ah that, yeah the boy is just in love with Luli."

"Why?"

"What do you mean why? My daughter is beautiful, talented, has a great temperament, and... "

"I get it, I get it."

Stopping Xifeng who was jealous of her daughter less than a minute back and was now looking at him angrily for looking down on her daughter, Jian Shen said, "I thought that maybe there was something special about the golden marks you and Luli have."

"This?"

Pointing towards the mark of golden Phoenix between her eyebrows, Xifeng said, "This is something that all the women in my family have. There's nothing special about them."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Does that mean if we have a daughter in the future she'll also have a golden mark between her eyebrows?"

"Ye..."

Stopping herself a little too late because her answer was obvious, Xifeng glared towards Jian Shen whose hands were moving lower from her waist and onto her ass.

"You.... Aren't you thinking about something too far in the future?"

"Not really."

Hugging Xifeng tighter, Jian Shen said, "We can do it right now if we want to."

Smiling and licking her lips as if she was seriously considering Jian Shen's words, Xifeng said, "Let's first think about where we want to go. Keep your mind out of the gutter until then."

Nodding his head while showing a sad expression, Jian Shen looked like he would turn around and act pitifully.

Unfortunately, he didn't do any such thing and remained in the same way.

Though his hands did move, they only started fondling Xifeng's ass and didn't move away from there.

"What are you doing?"

"Me? Nothing."

"I can't believe that you can say such a thing with a straight face. Now move your hands away before I..."

"Before you what? Start doing the same?"

"You....!"

Blushing furiously from not even able to think about doing such a thing, Xifeng said, "Just remove your hands and decide about where you want to go."

"Hmmm..."

Even though Jian Shen didn't remove his hands, he did, however, start seriously thinking about where to go.

The Divine Realm was so big that it was split into many big regions.

The Winter Jade Empire was located in a region known as the Ice Haven Region because it was the only area which was covered in snow all the time.

Even though the sun always shone brightly, the snow never once melted and always covered the ground by at least a few feet.

"When I first came to the Divine Realm, there was a place I had to visit anyway. Do you know where the Cui Clan is?"

"Cui Clan? Of course. Even though it is quite far away from here, it is a clan which was once ranked as the strongest clan inside the Divine Realm."

"Oh really?"

Nodding her head, Xifeng suddenly asked, "Why are you so interested in going to the Cui Clan anyway? Is a woman waiting there for you?"

Rolling her eyes at how she once turned jealous in an instant, Jian Shen smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll find out when we get there."

Glaring at him for a while Xifeng finally said, "Fine. But flying all the way to the Lee Region will take us at least a year."

"A year?!"

"Yes. That's why it's best to use as many teleportation arrays as possible and save as much time as possible."

"Great. So why not use the one your Empire has."

"We can't. The teleportation circles inside the Winter Jade Empire are all mostly to travel in the opposite direction of where we want to go now."

Throwing his head back and groaning in frustration, Jian Shen asked, "You're so rich, so what would it have mattered if you had just built one more teleportation array to the Lee Region?"

Rolling her eyes Xifeng said, "Just fly. If I remember correctly, near that dangerous forest is a town with teleportation arrays to all the major regions."

"If you remember correctly?"

"Yes. It's been almost a few hundred years since I left the Ice Haven Region, so I can't really be sure of how much the other regions have changed."
