The Queen Of The Dark
Rebirith Of The God Of War [Chapter XLII]

They just stop for some time, quench thirst by drinking a jug of water and add to the contents that are felt to have been reduced a lot. Not much is expected from a small village, can find transportation equipment along with clean springs is enough. Decided to continue the journey using the two tamed spirit beast horses.

Yue Liang Zhi's smile receded when she realized her size had hindered reality, in her previous life she considered horse racing as trivial, but in her present life she is miserable because her height is only limited to horse legs. He blicked his lips feeling his gaze spinning and had suddenly switched on the horse.

He stared at some of the shadows on Prince Yun Fengyin's face, who felt as the main perpetrator of the piggybacking just displayed indifference and felt no wrongdoing. He ended up sighing harshly, blaming himself for not growing up so quickly!

Everyone who caught the expression of disapproval was slightly flabbergasted, especially Bai Yun who was Yue Liang Zhi's older brother. He and his sister had lived in the village, never practicing equestrian skills and being illiterate. However, his younger brother was able to ride, read, use various weapons and understand combat tactics. Heaven knew how great was his confusion about what other proficiency his Yue'er possessed.

Lei Hu did not have a mind like Bai Yun. He even appeared indifferent as he put on a saddle pad[1], a horse saddle[2], a belly strap[3] and a stirrup[4]. A few minutes later the horse's head was moved, carefully installing the horse's bridle [4] with the end of the harness[5]. Having been proficient in riding, he asked the still dazed Bai Yun to piggyback behind him.

^^^[1] The saddle pad: a thin layer between the horse's back and saddle, serves to protect the horse's saddle and absorb the horse's sweat.^^^

^^^[2] Horse saddle: a support device for a horse rider/other load tied to a horse's back.^^^

^^^[3] Strap: a wide strap that surrounds the horse's abdomen, shaped like a belt/buckle, serves to prevent the saddle from slipping sideways, backward or forward.^^^

^^^[4] Sanggurdi: footrest when riding a horse, usually hanging on the edge of the saddle with a band or rope called a stirrup rope.^^^

^^^[5] Horse bridle: a tool for steering a horse with a mounted on the horse's face.^^^

^^^[6] Reins: a tool for directing horses, in the form of a long rope.^^^

Two spirit beast horses dashed down the road, making the sound of unpretentious footprints. Yue Liang Zhi called Prince Yun Fengyin who was racing horses, “ge~”

“Ya Yue'er, what's up?” Sahut Prince Yun Fengyin without reducing his speed, his gaze was still straight looking ahead.

“Can you ask the dark guard not to clean the road too much?” Yue Linang Zhi slightly hardened the volume of her voice while the swift footsteps of the horses tightened, “I would like, if our trip this time produces maximum results, not just petrifying the Yin Empire alone, I would like to, but we can add cultivation levels and fighting skills.”

He does not want to be a soft persimmon that needs extra protection, he is a free bird that likes to do everything with his own hands, not accustomed to being under the wing of the protection of others.

Prince Yun Fengyin nodded lightly while holding the communication stone, he poured the qi into the stone. After sensing that the stone air had been different, he ordered the dark guards not to make it too easy for him to travel, giving them a chance to improve their abilities. It feels enough, he again saves the communication stone, “Yue'er is calm, they will come out and petrified when the situation is urgent.”

Yue Liang Zhi nodded faintly, equating the usefulness of communication stones with mobile phones. Perhaps, if in modern times he still had time to meet the communication stone, he would prefer that strange object that does not need to bother typing a few digits of numbers.

Horse driven continuously until the sun did not feel began to sink, Prince Yun Fengyin who led the journey began to stop his horse's steps and decided to immediately set up a tent. The qiankun bag hanging on his right waist slightly trembled lightly, a moment later, a large tent came out. He was in charge of setting up a tent with Yue Liang Zhi, while Bai Yun and Lei Hu made a bonfire and some cooking.

Yue Liang Zhi's heart was happy at first, but it suddenly became a horror when Bai Yun and Lei Hu intended to cook. He voiced a heart full of complaints, his tongue was already very numb from eating bland food. In modern times, he is a picky person in terms of food, especially cuisine made by others. If the side dish tasted tasted bland, he would not touch the side dish again and leave a full plate at the dining table. The fish meat is cooked but still leaves one thorn, he will throw it as wild cat food. The rice felt hard and leaving one grain left behind, he would shout full of complaints. But, when he is on a mission and does not find good food, he will be happy and become a obedient person who eats all kinds of dishes.

He was actually good at cooking delicious dishes, but too lazy to cook for himself. He is principled: if eating it for himself then leave the task of cooking to the chef and the dish should be tasty on the tongue, if eating with the closest people then he will cook his own food.

To be precise, he wanted to give his best to certain people.

The tent stood up handsomely. Yue Liang Zhi, Prince Yun Fengyin, Bai Yun and Lei Hu had already held each bowl filled with soup in both hands.

As the three of them were engrossed in enjoying breakfast, Yue Liang Zhi secretly swallowed the saliva violently, preferring to wait for the soup to cool down. After the three people put the sign bowl over, he immediately ate the soup. Nah! He was not eating, it was even like drinking, swallowing the soup without pause and at the end of the gulp held back the reminiscing tears at the corner of the eye.

Is it very hungry?

“Waaaahhh...,” Yue Liang Zhi wiped her mouth with her sleeves when she noticed the gaze of the three. “Very-very delicious! I don't even know what to say, this is the best meal I've ever eaten. When you guys deign to put some spices, it will be more delicious,” he forced his lips to smile.

Seeing Yue Liang Zhi's stiff smile, Prince Yun Fengyin bristled slightly, as did Bai Yun and Lei Hu. Without thinking more about Yue Liang Zhi, Prince Yun Fengyin immediately put up a spiritual array around the tent and campfire. Feeling safe enough from the disturbance of the spirit beast, they immediately rested their bodies and waited for tomorrow to arrive.

Next day...

Sunlight struck the beautiful face of Yue Ling Zhi, a contrasting bloodstain on her milk-fat cheeks. It does not reduce the level of beautiful, even increasing the impression of fierce and domineering. His movements were quick when playing around with some low-level spirit beasts, the low-grade small sword blade in his hand slashed mercilessly and managed to make the opponent fall in a short period of time.

“...” he did not expect his excitement would end quickly.

Prince Yun Fengyin had finished putting the items into the qiankun bag, he nodded looking at Yue Liang Zhi's fighting skil, “ very much according to the rumors... The dragon race was a great fighter, fighting spirit beasts was easy for Yue'er.”

Bai Yun glanced at the few corpses lying helplessly, stepping over with a light blue handkerchief. He helped wipe the animal's blood and rubbed his sister's chubby cheeks.

From a distance, Lei Hu who was putting on a horse saddle repeatedly praised half-deadly every move of Yue Liang Zhi. Adored and worshiped endlessly.

“Other times, teach me how to fight like earlier,” Bai Yun kept back his handkerchief, “so that one day I could help Yue'er fight.”

Yue Liang Zhi felt a little warm at heart, “ya, I will teach you guys someday,” she silenced a warm smile.

They went back on their journey. The clattering of footsteps of the horse said to each other, heard several times the sound of the horse ringing filled throughout the journey. The wind hit the face, dust enveloped the body and sunlight adorned his fourth silhouette. Yue Liang Zhi occasionally gulped down drinking water, she looked very relaxed even occasionally yawning boredly.

Ding...

[Important mission, save the three people from the mid-level spirit beast attack.] Qiao Qiao Qiao's voice filled the contents of Yue Liang Zhi's head, [reward, getting the chance to open a modern space in the lotus world.]

“Eh?” Yue Liang Zhi whispered lightly, she began to be interested in the mission from Qiao Qiao, 'ck, just an opportunity...'

[Accept it or not,] Qiao Qiao gave an attractive offer, he was sure that one hundred percent of his master would definitely accept the mission from him, [Liang Zhi, you only need to help 1,000 people and raise your cultivation. You know, if your tiers rise again then the world of lotus can easily be upgraded.]

The eyebrows next to Yue Liang Zhi were raised, 'I accept..' without further ado he immediately pulled the bridle that Prince Yun Fengyin was using to control the horse's pace.

Feeling a strong pull, the horse immediately shrieked loudly deafening ears, the two front legs lifted up and made two riders seem to be toppled. It was successful in making the horse that was driven by Lei Hu also stopped.

“Someone got an attack,” Yue Liang Zhi slightly shouted to stop the question in the minds of Prince Yun Fengyin, Bai Yun and Lei Hu. He immediately went down while pulling the sword from its sheath, “I will help them.” Without waiting for approval, he immediately ran towards the point of battle.

Prince Yun Fengyin and Lei Hu nodded at each other in silence, the two of them immediately spurred on the horse following the movements of Yue Liang Zhi.
