Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 240 - 21: Berserk Junior Sister Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Part 21)
Third Senior Brother is now trying hard to impress Jiang Lai. His affection for Jiang Lai is obvious and known to all, so he wants to be more direct and bold, simply making the little junior sister understand his feelings during this Secret Realm trial. He rode up close to Jiang Lai and whispered.
"Little Junior Sister, how about we go down the mountain to enjoy the flowers together after this trial?"
Jiang Lai looked ahead and smiled slightly.
"Are the other senior brothers going too?"
"Of course not, just the two of us."
"Third Senior Brother, I know you like me."
Jiang Lai glanced at him, then continued to look forward, speaking at a volume just right for everyone around to hear.
"But I’ve always only seen you as a senior brother. You look quite like my brother, so if you like me, you should stop wasting time on me and look at other scenery instead."
Little Buding clicked its tongue nearby.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Your words are too hurtful."
It regards Third Senior Brother as quite handsome, even more so than most of the modern streaming male stars, most importantly, he has charisma and is deeply devoted to Jiang Lai. In the original plot, he even died because of her.
Where would you find such a good man?
Little Buding doesn’t mind Jiang Lai finding someone to date, and is even willing to be her relationship advisor. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
The horse beneath Third Senior Brother stopped.
"Do you have someone you like now?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I understand. I won’t say anything that will trouble you again."
After saying that, Third Senior Brother silently moved aside, and even the flying horse under him sensed his disappointment, slowing its pace, and looking utterly dejected.
Everyone heard Jiang Lai admit she already has someone she likes.
Wu Lie, standing nearby, gave her a deep look.
Little Buding was also very surprised.
"When did you start liking someone? How come I didn’t know?"
"None of your business."
"Is it Wu Lie? He’s the most handsome, it must be him."
Wu Lie, with his tall stature and long legs, was the most handsome among the four senior brothers, looking very much like a young Daniel Wu. Clearly, he was Jiang Lai’s type.
Jiang Lai didn’t speak, so Little Buding took it as confirmation.
"I knew it was him. Is that love? More like you’re lusting after his body, you shameless person!"
Jiang Lai really wanted to sew up Little Buding’s "blah blah" foul mouth.
Too lazy to bother with it, Jiang Lai continued riding forward. Just when everyone thought the endless grassland stretched on forever and they would have to camp here overnight, suddenly, the galloping flying horse stopped.
Suddenly, a bottomless, misty abyss appeared before them, almost obscuring the view of the other side.
At this moment, Jiang Lai patted the horse’s back and shouted out.
"Giddyup!"
The next second the flying horse leaped down, after a thrilling descent, it spread its white wings, gave a powerful flap, and soared across the abyss carrying Jiang Lai.
The people behind followed closely.
After flying for nearly half an hour, the flying horse carrying everyone safely stopped on top of another mountain.
Then Jiang Lai patted the head of the flying horse before her, and it obediently lowered its head, offering her the longest feather from the center of its wings.
"Go back."
The flying horse belongs to freedom, and just having it for a short ride was enough.
With this feather, they could also exchange it for a Spirit Stone back home.
Du Furong and Zhang Qingqing were thrilled beyond words; they had never imagined experiencing such a cloud-riding sensation before achieving Great Success in cultivation in their lifetimes.
If it weren’t for understanding that White-hooved Flying Horse’s wild nature, preferring death to captivity, they would really have wanted to contract one as their mount.
Fourth Senior Brother silently glanced at Jiang Lai.
"Is it just luck this time too?"
If you didn’t know the grassland ended at the Heavenly Gully, who would be bothered to tame so many flying horses just to take back a piece of their feather for a reward, yet Jiang Lai insisted everyone give it a try.
If not for her, how could they all have reached the next Secret Realm trial point?
"I couldn’t help it, just lucky, what else could it be? Did I foresee what’s going to happen next?"
Indeed, if not lucky, how else to explain it?
Could Jiang Lai really be naturally endowed with good fortune?
——
Before entering the Secret Realm, everyone only knew the basic map layout. Judging by the surroundings, this should be the third section of the Secret Realm, the Endless Vine Sea.
Why is it called Vine Sea? Because here all the trees are wrapped in countless vines, thin ones like fingers, thick ones as sturdy as a grown man’s waist, quietly coiled in various parts of the forest, looking like sleeping giant snakes, giving a creepy feeling.
The plants here are particularly lush and robust, making everyone walking inside look as tiny as ants, with every step being extra difficult.
"Ah—!!"
Zhang Qingqing screamed, directly clinging to Third Senior Brother’s arm and shouting repeatedly.
"Such a large ant!"
Just then, a leaf bigger than a dustpan was pushed up by a huge red ant, fearless of humans, leaving a trail of red spotted marks as it walked, with its antennae making rustling sounds when they touched, exceedingly terrifying.
As it passed Jiang Lai, she kicked it away, the ant stared at Jiang Lai for a while, then promptly changed its direction and left pushing the leaf.
"Aren’t ants supposed to be in swarms, why is there only one here?"
Fourth Senior Brother kept looking around, afraid a monster would suddenly spring out from the nearby grass.
Then, footsteps sounded from behind, everyone turned to look, seeing another team approaching from a distance, from their gold attire they could tell they were from the Eight Desolates Sect.
Mixed in were a few white-robed disciples from the Sun and Moon Sect.
Jiang Lai turned back and happened to meet Mu Wu’s gaze.
She looked a bit pale, with a hint of coldness in her eyes, clearly angry yet still forcing a smile at Jiang Lai.
Little Buding quietly chimed in.
"Encountered someone as perverted as you."
"Don’t insult me."
Wei Ziling noticed Jiang Lai and immediately waved at her in greeting.
"What a coincidence, you just arrived too?"
Jiang Lai nodded, then turned to walk away.
Fourth Senior Brother nudged Jiang Lai’s arm.
"If our fast speed is due to your luck with taming the flying horse, what’s their excuse? Luck too?"
"What else?"
They really underestimated the combined wisdom of the male and female protagonists.
Fourth Senior Brother looked at Ye Yunzhou on the opposite side, frowned, and muttered.
"We better hurry."
"These ants can bite a person to death in one bite, Fourth Senior Brother, you’d better not think about acting alone, or else, if you die with no body to show, how do I explain it to Master?"
"How do you know what I’m thinking?"
