That afternoon, the shi+p arrived at the pier of the East Arrival City inside the borders of the Celestial Nation
The boo with people and activity, with shi+p loaded and unloaded from the various shi+ps
Madae to the pier to pick her up After they became more acquainted with each other, she had specially left an ee for Miao Yi to ride on
As soon as they left the pier, one of the inforent report back to Madaes were halfway to the East Arrival City when Miao Yi, as sitting in the carriage, opened the s to view the scenery His ears suddenly twitched when he heard a wave of gallops louder than that of a norer to those sounds; they were sion steeds that cultivators rode
And his guess wasn’t wrong He heard the steward’s excited voice, “Madame, your uncle has personally arrived”
Miao Yi looked outside theand could only see dust being blown about by the wind Two dragon steeds appeared and galloped es weren’t able to stop in tion steeds had already rushed towards the Abruptly, they reared their front hooves in the air to forcibly stop their ed cultivator with tords strapped on his back sat steadily on top of the dragon steed He swept his gaze across the carriages, frightening the carriage footed cultivator was another cultivator with a head full of white hair, carrying a long, big blade He didn’t look very young, but judging froed cultivator’s troop instead
Miao Yi predicted that this ed cultivator was none other than Madame Ji’s uncle, since it was unlikely that it was the person at the back bringing a higher authority officer to fetch his niece
Miao Yi’s gaze fell onto the two htly envious
Dragon steeds were the h they had the appearance of a horse, their bodies were twice as large coon horses, which were ruon and heavenly horse Allegedly, only pure-blooded dragon steeds had the chance to evolve into a real dragon
Other than their massive size, their skin was also thick The vital parts of the head, body, and the four limbs were protected by naturally hard bones, just like arh to inflict da ability wereas well
Their tails reseon steeds were o and sharp
Two curled and fleshy feelers sprang from the mane, which fluttered like waves at the nape of its neck Once the elastic feelers were linked with the cultivator’s body, both would be able to flawlessly communicate with each other without the need to speak, thus enabling the cultivator to control the dragon steed without any reins This on steed one of the most coon steeds also possessed extraordinary strength and were able to travel through any form of terrain with ease, be it land or water These beasts could run at their fastest speed for days without rest, and were able to cover thousands of li per day However, non-cultivators wouldn’t be able ride them It was a feat that would be nearly impossible for an ordinary person to do, even if they resorted to using reins and brute force
Hooves the size of claypots noisily stoon steeds had a fierce air around the a valiant aura which caused the other horses in the fleet to be as quiet as cold cicadas, obediently following behind at a safe distance
There was a great height difference between the people ere riding on the horses and the cultivators ere riding on the dragon steeds, naturally due to the latter’s larger and taller size
The es quickly came down to make their salutations Meanwhile, the steas sent by her uncle to escort Madame Ji, quickly parted the curtains and helped her clie as she held her child
“Master Uncle, this is your niece And this is your uncle!” The steas supporting Madareet Uncle” Madae a half curtsy with a child in her aron steed, and extended his hand towards Madame Ji to help her up His eyes atery and red as he nodded, “Similar, similar, you look so similar to my elder sister It’s all uncle’s fault, I should have sent someone to find you all, otherwise you wouldn’t be”
“Uncle” Madame Ji choked, her delicate shoulders tre the unfortunate events that had happened to her fa baby in Madame Ji’s arms, and comforted her, “Don’t cry, let’s head back first then we’ll talk” He signaled the steward to escort her back into the carriage
He turned around and cliaze to Miao Yi, who had poked his head out to look at theon steed ie where Miao Yi was, as if it knehat its oanted to do Froon steed, the uncle looked at Miao Yi and asked, “So you’re the friend who rescued ot out of the carriage and, standing near the wheels, replied, “It’s no effort at all!”
