Chapter 122: Leading You East
"This is simple. You four have half a minute to act immediately regarding the matter of the people and ethics. In about a minute, they will catch up with us. Nightmare is indeed good, but it is only a sixth-tier Demon Beast, so it cannot outrun a Demon Lord," Heavenly Gift said.
"People, ethics?" Xiao Wu and Xiao Jun exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
"Hurry up, otherwise, in your current state, if you are caught up, you will only face defeat," Heavenly Gift urged. The hesitant Xiao Brothers were shaken out of their concerns by a single remark from the Celestial Spirit sisters, who had been affected by the Heavenly Desire Elixir.
"Brother, I want it." This statement was like thunder striking and igniting a fire, like dry wood meeting fierce flames, or even being doused in gasoline. After saying this, Xiao Wu and Xiao Jun disregarded everything else and directly embraced Tianxin and Celestial Spirit, running off in two different directions.
"Don't get lost in it; just break their virginity. If you want to enjoy it, there will be plenty of opportunities later," Heavenly Gift reminded sharply. Half a minute later, the four returned hastily, disheveled. Tianxin clung to Xiao Wu, like an octopus tightly holding onto him, her face flushed and breathing rapid, her red lips continuously kissing Xiao Wu's face, her eyes filled with affection. Xiao Jun and Celestial Spirit were similarly engaged.
"You four need to head immediately to Wildfire City, which is a hundred thousand meters away. Do whatever you want; I will catch up from behind. As long as you hurry, it shouldn't take long," Heavenly Gift instructed.
"Thank you for your guidance." With that, they leaped away.
"Take this; you can eat one when necessary," Heavenly Gift quickly added, tossing out two golden pills from the Storage Ring.
The two brothers of the Xiao Family received them and said, "We will remember this." Then they sped off. Now, things became interesting for Heavenly Gift, who gradually slowed down the speed of Nightmare, then walked forward leisurely without any rush. After ten seconds, Natural and Sky caught up without engaging or asking questions as they passed by Heavenly Gift to continue their pursuit.
"Are you two sisters chasing someone?" Heavenly Gift called out eagerly.
Natural and Sky hesitated for a moment before stopping and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I just saw two beautiful ladies hurriedly passing by with two adults while I was on my way here..." Heavenly Gift deliberately dragged out his words.
"And then what?" Sky asked impatiently. The two had rushed over here without seeing anyone else; the four people he mentioned must be Tianxin, Celestial Spirit, and the two who had taken them hostage.
"It's nothing; I can't really say," Heavenly Gift replied with a hint of embarrassment.
"What’s there that you can't say? Speak!" Natural threatened coldly. Indeed, Heavenly Gift appeared frightened and slowly said, "They... they were walking together while... while embracing each other, and it seemed like they were... merging together."
"Impossible!" Natural shouted angrily.
"You are lying!" the Sky roared back.
"Believe it or not, if you chase after Wildfire City right now, you might still make it in time," Heavenly Gift said nonchalantly. If you don't talk to me, maybe you can catch up; but now, take your time searching. Once you enter the town, unless you turn the world upside down, if someone truly wants to hide from you, you won't be able to find them.
"If I find out you're deceiving me, even if you're at the ends of the earth, I will bring you back," Natural said fiercely.
"In that case, to prove that what I'm saying is true, why don't the two sisters take me along?" Heavenly Gift suggested.
"Natural, why not just take him with us? It will save us the trouble of looking for him later," the Sky said.
"Fine, we'll take you along." If you take me with you, your speed will be like Xiao Wu and the others—Almost there. You'll be eating dust right behind me," Heavenly Gift thought smugly.
Not long after, Heavenly Gift and the others arrived at the bustling Wildfire City. Although it had just been ravaged by war, the impact was minimal.
"Sky, I can't feel the marks of Celestial Spirit and Tianxin in their bodies anymore," Natural said helplessly.
"That means... sigh, how do we explain this when we go back?" the Sky said bitterly.
"Let's search here a bit more; maybe we can find them," Natural suggested.
"But even if we find them, what then? Bring them back to face punishment? Then expel them from the inner circle?" the Sky analyzed.
"This..." Natural was suddenly at a loss for words.
"Sisters, since we can't find them and can't prove whether what I said is true or false, may I leave?" Heavenly Gift asked.
"Well, forget it. You are a person of loyalty; otherwise, you wouldn't have accompanied us to Wildfire City. You may go," Natural said. Loyalty? In your eyes, I am loyal; in my eyes, you two are just naive.
"Hey, sisters, your faces look pale and troubled. It seems there's something weighing on your minds. The area between your eyebrows also looks somewhat dark; perhaps there are troubles at home with your parents or important elders in your sect," Heavenly Gift coaxed.
"What do you mean by that?" Natural and the other person quickly inquired. Their parents at home were already unknown, and the words of the elders from their sect could only refer to the Saintess.
"To be honest with you two sisters, I have a bit of skill in divination. How about I read your fortunes?" Heavenly Gift said.
"Alright, thank you." Natural replied. "Please give me two strands of hair each." Heavenly Gift said.
"Here." The two decisively handed over two strands of hair to Heavenly Gift. Heavenly Gift took them and slowly closed her eyes in front of Natural and the other person, then pinched one strand of hair and murmured something. After that, the strand of hair turned to ashes.
"In the direction of Galaxy City, your most important elder has encountered trouble and needs your assistance." Heavenly Gift opened her eyes and said.
"The Saintess?" Natural and the other person said simultaneously. "Let's go." They then transformed into two figures and disappeared before Heavenly Gift. Afterward, Heavenly Gift revealed a smug smile and walked slowly into a restaurant called Mingyue Tower, sitting in the lobby and ordering a bottle of fine wine to drink. Heavenly Gift was able to read the fortunes of Natural and the other person because Tian Mingyue was the most important person to them, and Heavenly Gift used Natural's hair. Since Natural and the other person showed no resistance, it was naturally easy to read their fortunes. If Tian Ying wanted to block the heavenly secrets, she could only act against Natural and her companion; otherwise, it would be impossible to conceal it. Moreover, since Heavenly Gift was reading about Tian Mingyue and not targeting Tian Ying, Tian Ying would not notice anything unusual.
After waiting for a day and night, Xiao Wu and Xiao Jun finally came out from their room in Mingyue Tower. Don't ask how Heavenly Gift knew they were in Mingyue Tower.
"Divine Gift Legion Commander." As the four came down from the stairs, they saw Heavenly Gift sitting in the lobby and hurriedly approached to greet her.
"Are you done?" Heavenly Gift asked.
"Yes." Xiao Wu and Xiao Jun replied with slightly awkward smiles.
"Yes, I just read your fortunes. The Saintess from Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary has already returned and is now in Heavenly Continent." Heavenly Gift said, "Now you four can go wherever you need to go."
