Chapter 48  : Mounts

Ji Fengyan had actually used an entire night to absorb all the spiritual energy in that piece of dream stone completely. Just a look at the sheer size of that piece of dream stone was enough to shock people but after Ji Fengyan finished her cultivation, even though her inner core recovered a little, the speed of recovery was so slow that it made her feel like vomiting blood.

Not even a crack has fully recovered; God knew when she would finish her cultivation!

Ji Fengyan lay on her bed feeling depressed. Even without an entire night’s sleep, her energy level was not drained at all, though her eyes were filled with gloom.

She missed that complete and strong inner core of hers so badly...

While Ji Fengyan was still here mourning the seemingly endless recovery journey of her inner core, and contemplating how to get her hands on even more ores as fast as possible for her cultivation, Ji City was already boiling with excitement.

The owner of the largest stone betting store in the city had become a fool overnight. Now, he was as dumb as he was shrewd in the past and only knew to sit on the ground drooling stupidly. Even after the employees in the store went to look for a physician’s help all over the city, they could also not tell anything wrong about him, so rumors started to spread that he was scared dumb by demons.

After all, the bet that took place in his store between Su Lingsheng and Ji Fengyan had already been known by everyone on the streets. As the store owner, it was understandable that one could become crazy overnight because of his immense fear of the impending blame from the eldest princess and City Lord’s young master.

Of course, there were also some who said that this was an act put up by the store owner in order to evade responsibility.

Regarding the actual situation, no one knew.

Ji Fengyan also heard this piece of news, but she did not bother about it after quietly listening to it for a while.

Just after having breakfast, Linghe hastily came and informed her that the person delivering the mounts had arrived and that she should go and make her pick.

“Mounts?” Ji Fengyan blinked her eyes as she did not understand what it was for in a moment.

Linghe said, “Miss has inherited the World-Termination-Armour, and will eventually go onto the battlefield. The battle against the Demon Clan is brutal, so every terminator will be paired with a strong mount to fight together. It is about time. Miss you can have a look first. According to tradition, the number of mounts sent during the first time should be plenty, Miss just have to pick a strong one then.”

“Yes, yes, yes! I think that the Shijiu [2. Shijiu is the name of a horse breed] is very powerful, not only is it strong in its attack, it can also run very fast.” the bodyguard at the side also started to echo.

“That time I saw the one that General Long brought along was a Bimeng [3. Bimeng is the name of another horse breed]. Its height was almost like a small mountain, just a stomp could make the ground shake!”

“How was that amazing! That time our General had used a Jushishou [4. Jushishou is the name of another horse breed], its battle ability was as well...” the person who was speaking immediately realised that he had a slip of the tongue and quickly stopped talking. The general that he mentioned was naturally referring to Ji Fengyan’s father.

But...

“I don’t seem to be interested in any that you have said,” Ji Fengyan did not take the person’s slip of the tongue to heart, and started to seriously consider the different mounts that Linghe and the others were talking about just now. The original owner of the body had some fuzzy memory about those mounts, but... Ji Fengyan simply could not be excited about those fearless and energetic looking battle mounts!

Not as gorgeous as an immortal!

It was completely not as gorgeous as an immortal!

Which immortal would bring a dumb and huge beast out to stroll? Just the thought of it was enough to spoil the image she had!

Linghe and the others did not understand Ji Fengyan’s thoughts and only urged her to hurry and see. Ji Fengyan gave in after half-heartedly declining and completely bore no hopes for those mounts.
