Chapter 65 Missed Meeting
"Ahh… I slept so well today~"
Yiren moaned with pleasure as she sat up to stretch her arms before rubbing her sleepy eyes. The room they were given was spacious and the bed couldn't be comfier. She was drowning into the soft feathers inside her pillow while covering herself with the fluffiest quilt.
Looking around, Yiren's gaze immediately fell on the beauty sleeping next to her, causing her to grin right after. She sneaked back under the quilt and traveled under it, straight above the soundly asleep Lisa.
Yiren didn't hesitate and laid on Lisa, hugging her tightly while pressing her cheek into Lisa's soft breasts. She would always receive a morning hug from Xuefeng so it became a habit of hers to hug after waking up.
"Huh?"
Too bad, she was quickly discovered by Lisa as she pulled up the quilt to see her.
"Good morning, Lisa," Yiren said happily while looking up to face her.
"Good morning… What are you doing?" Lisa asked sleepily, her mind seemed like it was still rebooting.
In response, Yiren rubbed her cheeks against Lisa's chest and replied boldly, "I'm enjoying your soft breasts first thing in the morning. They are so perky even when you lay down. I am jealous."
Lisa instantly blushed and grabbed Yiren's shoulders, pulling her away.
"Stop! You are naughty so early in the morning," Lisa scolded but Yiren counter-attacked without my care.
Ha!
Yiren reached forward and squeezed the two peaks in front of her with hands too small to embrace the whole. Only a white nightgown separated them which was so thin that it couldn't even be considered a barrier for Yiren.
Ah!
Lisa squeaked softly, receiving more teases from Yiren.
"Hehe, are you shy? Didn't we already shower together?" Yiren questioned playfully, knowing Lisa wasn't really good with games like those. "It seems like they got bigger and firmer from the last time I remember. Xuefeng's massages indeed create wonders for all of us."
"You are like Nuwa, so naughty!" Lisa commented and suddenly rolled with Yiren on the bed, getting on top of her while pinning Yiren's wrists.
Knock, knock.
Just as Lisa was about to fight back, they heard a knock to the door, putting halt to their games.
"Yes?" Lisa called out.
"Miss Yiren, Miss Lisa, I don't want to wake you up but we need to depart early, so we are pressed on time," Village Leader informed from the other side, not daring to enter the bedroom. "The earlier we leave, the faster we can arrive at the place and finish our mission during a single day."
"Okay! We will get ready!" Lisa replied only to get struck by Yiren's blows into her ear. Lisa gazed back at Yiren who pretended to be innocent and finally broke.
"Now you have done it," Lisa muttered sternly and attacked, tickling Yiren on the belly.
"Hahahaha!"
They only stopped after Yiren begged for forgiveness, breathing heavily. As they already showered the night before, it didn't take them long to get ready by getting dressed and combing their messy hair. Unfortunately, they were still late.
"Is it okay if we eat on the way? My wife prepared some food supplies for us."
The Village Leader was waiting for them in the hallway, already wearing his hunting leather gear.
"Sure, no problem," Yiren nodded indifferently, actually preferring to eat with her hands.
"Please, follow me then. The rides are already prepared."
Sure enough, right outside the Village Leader's mansion stood two large birds with seats fastened to their back. Though, it wasn't the main thing that caught the girls' attention. It was the crowd who gathered around the entrance, cheering the moment they left.
"Goddess! Good luck on your mission!"
"Good morning, Goddess! Please accept our best wishes!"
"Awe Goddess!"
Many cheered, raising gifts in the air for her to accept, overwhelming her. She was used to the public as she was a Princess but this time there were just too many people calling out her nickname.
"Don't worry, Goddess. They are just trying to be nice. When everyone heard about our trip and its goal, they were naturally ecstatic. This Celestial Beast was causing us problems for a while, so they are happy you will help solve it," the wife of Village Leader explained as she approached. "If you accept even one gift, it will show you accepted their wishes."
"Oh, I see," Yiren nodded and stepped forward to greet the people. "Everyone! Thank you for the best wishes! I will make sure to not disappoint you and return soon!"
"Also," Yiren continued as the crowd quietened down and approached a little girl with a ring made from flowers. She let her place it on top of her head and smiled at the crowd.
They immediately exploded with cheers once again.
"Goddess!"

At the same time as Yiren and Lisa were departing, Xuefeng was already up, walking towards the Teleportation Station with Tianshi by his hand. Thanks to the kindness of the locals, they easily got their directions and since it wasn't far from their inn, they decided to take a walk instead of getting a Beast Taxi.
'Do you think we will be like them one day? Living in a Safe Zone while getting a stable job and living a happy life together? We could buy one big house and share it with everyone,' Tianshi wondered in Xuefeng's mind as she looked around the street, hugging onto Xuefeng's arm. 'I honestly don't mind anything as long as I'm with you.'
'It is a possibility that we will eventually settle for a while but I doubt it will happen any time soon. Knowing you all, you are not the types who would like to stay in one place for an extended period of time,' Xuefeng replied, reaching out to caress her cheek in the middle of the crowd. 'I'm the same. I want to travel around and visit all Realms I can before it's too late. It's been less than four years before we got to this world, so we still have a lot to discover.'
'I know, I know. I was just thinking. Look at everyone's faces. Doesn't they look happy?' Tianshi pointed out, making Xuefeng take a closer look at the people around him.
It was indeed strange that most of the people were either smiling or simply chilling, walking while chatting with their friends or family. The whole scenario looked extremely similar to the previous city they visited. He saw wide roads with pedestrian walks on both sides filled with relaxed people doing their daily tasks.
'They look like life in the Save Zone couldn't get any better,' Tianshi added.
'Well, that's true. They don't need to worry about any threats of the Cultivation World so they live carefreely. Unfortunately, our fate is already sealed so we can't allow that. Either we step on the top of the world or we die trying,' Xuefeng informed of the obvious.
Tianshi squeezed his arm, knowing exactly what he meant. Although the Elemental Bracelet gave him extreme power, it was a curse. Once he started gathering the Elemental Stones, he could either get them all or die. If not the other experts, it would be the bracelet itself that would kill him.
'I want to see my Xuefeng on top of the world,' Tianshi muttered in response, finally pulling away from him as they stopped in front of a big queue.
"What is happening here? Why is everyone blocking the way?" Xuefeng questioned out loud.
His question made two of the last people in the queue turn around and say bitterly, "It's a queue to the Teleportation Station. Today it is exceptionally long but it shouldn't take more than five hours. It's going to be a long wait till we can get in."
"Oh! Thank you," Xuefeng acknowledged the answer and pulled Tianshi to the side. The queue was in the middle of the pavement while the side near the buildings was almost empty.
Xuefeng obviously wanted to skip the queue, but the two guys called out after them, warning friendly, "The left side is reserved for very important experts. If guards see you two walking there, they will think you want to skip the queue. If you want to get to the other side, you need to go to the right side and use the intersection to—"
Xuefeng cut him off, not wasting any more of his time, "Actually, we are two of those important experts. We want to use the Teleportation Stations as well."
Smiling at their surprise, Xuefeng and Tianshi walked away, moving along the queue. They naturally got some curious looks but they simply ignored them. It was natural that everyone would wonder who they were but Xuefeng knew it was impossible the news spread this fast.
He got proved wrong very quickly.
"I know those two! I saw the video from my cousin! They were the ones who used Forbidden Art to escape from the Safe Zone!"
A loud cry from a youngster revealed their identity.
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
Multiple people around him exclaimed in excitement but Xuefeng didn't slow down to face them. He sped up instead.
'How do they all know after just one day? I thought it would take a few days for that to happen,' Xuefeng wondered, planning on reaching the station as soon as possible.
For them to be recognized so fast, it would only let their pursuers track them more easily. They could avoid that by simply wearing their cloaks but at the same time, he didn't want to hide anymore.
They reached the Teleportation Station much faster than they normally would and it turned out to be just a plaza with four narrow stone towers that emitted large amounts of Ether Qi. It turned out to be a mass teleport Station who teleported tens of people at the same time.
"Sir, madam, did you come to use the Teleportation Station? Can I see your permit?"
The moment they reached the front of the queue, they were approached by the Staff Member who seemed extremely polite the moment he saw them.
"Those should be enough, right? We are Sect Master Liu Personal Disciples," Xuefeng introduced them as they pulled out their tokens before keeping them, not even displaying the Golden Dragon imagine. "Keep it a secret though. We don't want too much publicity."
For the Staff Members, it seemed to be enough as their eyes quickly widened and they gave way.
"O-of course! Please, tell us your destination!"
———
"So he has not appeared in the Capital yet…" Miss Liu muttered after receiving a report from the Leader of the Teleportation Station.
They rushed all the way to the Water Land Capital only to find out he wasn't even there.
"I guess we were too rush," Miss Liu said with a sigh and pulled on Mia's hand while leaving one last order. "Inform me once they appear. They are very important to me."
She didn't wait for the reply, already considering it done, and left with Mia.
"Let's find out a nice restaurant to eat. I forgot we didn't eat anything yet."
A few minutes after they left, the Teleport Station suddenly acted up ahead of the scheduled time, which surprised the Staff. They only relaxed when they saw it was just two silhouettes. It could only mean one thing which wasn't that rare anymore that day.
Another V.I.P Teleport!
