Chapter 115 Teasing
Shi Zi, who had fled in panic from the perilous Phantom Spirit City, was followed closely by a pack of ferocious pursuers.
With his extraordinary wisdom, Shizi skillfully navigated through dense forests and mountains, eventually managing to shake off the pursuing soldiers without a trace in a complex terrain.
However, the escape and fierce battles along the way also cost Shi Zi a heavy price.
His clothes were torn to shreds, his body was covered in wounds, and every step he took was accompanied by intense pain.
Even so, he gritted his teeth and slowly recovered from his injuries using his own healing techniques, while resolutely making his way towards the Spirit King's location.
"Alas... it's a pity I was in too much of a rush last night and didn't have time to fetch a bottle of Rejuvenation Pill in case of emergency. Now I can only rely on this crude healing method to slowly recover my strength."
Shi Zi sighed inwardly, his face full of helplessness and exhaustion.
Time flies, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, dappling the narrow path and adding a touch of life and warmth to the quiet mountain forest.
Shi Zi dragged his exhausted body along the path, each step seemingly incredibly difficult.
Just then, two breathtakingly beautiful fairies suddenly appeared in front of them.
They wore light and flowing gauze dresses, their figures graceful, like fairies stepping out of a painting, inspiring longing in all who beheld them.
One of the fairies blinked her bright, lively eyes, a charming smile playing on her lips.
She said in a sweet voice, "Oh, look who's here? Such a disheveled look, it's truly pitiful, hee hee..."
The fairy gently covered the corner of her mouth and let out a silvery laugh.
"Senior sister, could this be a down-on-his-luck young master who fled from a disaster-stricken family?"
"Why don't we take him back and train him properly? Maybe he can become our little follower."
Shi Zi struggled to lift his head, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He looked at the two beautiful young women, his brows furrowed slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Ladies, please don't make fun of me."
"I have urgent business to attend to and need to get on my way. I humbly request that you two ladies kindly make way for me so that I may pass smoothly."
Upon hearing this, the girl who looked a little younger walked over gracefully, circled the pebble, and looked on with curiosity and amusement.
She chuckled softly, "Oh...something important? Humph, what could be more important than playing with us two sisters?"
Why don't you stay and spend some quality time with us, little brother?
Shi Zi frowned and said, "Ladies, please make way for me. I really have urgent business to attend to and need to continue on my way."
The girl circling around the pebbles chuckled, "Could it be that you have something to hide and dare not linger with us sisters?"
Shi Zi's face darkened: "Don't talk nonsense, I really have important business to attend to."
Seeing Shi Zi's serious expression, the two women exchanged a smile, and the woman next to Shi Zi suddenly made her move.
The stones were caught off guard by their sudden attack and hastily prepared to fight back.
But the woman was highly skilled in martial arts, and after only a few rounds, Shi Zi gradually became no match for her.
Just when Shi Zi was about to be overwhelmed, for some reason, he suddenly stood there and froze for a moment.
By the time Shi Zi had recovered, he was already tied up with a belt.
The older woman walked up to Shi Zi, blinked her bright eyes, and teased him in the same way: "Hehe...you disobedient son, now you've fallen into my junior sister's hands."
By this time, Shi Zi had come to his senses and was glaring angrily at the two girls in front of him.
"Who exactly are you people? What do you want? I really have important business to attend to. Can you please stop being so unreasonable?"
The younger woman chuckled softly: "Little brother, don't be so fierce. Play with me for a while, and maybe I'll let you go if I'm having fun..."
Upon hearing her words, Shi Zi snorted coldly, "Don't even think about it."
The older woman said, "Junior sister, stop fooling around. Let's ask him what he does for a living first."
The younger girl pouted and said to Shizi, "Little brother, tell me quickly, where did you come from and where are you going?"
Shi Zi remained silent, his face stubborn.
Seeing this, the woman said coquettishly, "If you don't tell me, you're not leaving."
After saying that, he pretended to reach out and stroke Shizi's little face.
Shi Zi has lived in Sujia Village since he was a child, and he has experienced a lot in the past two years.
But he was only a 13-year-old boy, and he couldn't resist the woman's teasing. His face turned red instantly, and he turned away without looking at her.
He kept muttering, "Girl, please have some self-respect. I'm really in a hurry right now, and I really can't play with you here."
The little girl then started to whine, "Little brother, don't be so fierce. It won't hurt if you play with us."
Shi Zi reluctantly stepped back, brushing aside her outstretched hand.
"I hope you ladies will be so kind as to let me go first. If I meet you again in the future, I'll play with you again, okay?"
At this moment, the woman seemed to sense Shi Zi's eagerness and couldn't resist teasing him.
She continued to tease Shizi, gently tracing his face with her finger.
She giggled and said, "Oh, little brother, you're quite handsome. Why don't you just go along with your sister? I'll make sure you live a life of luxury, how about that?"
After the children of Sujia Village took the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the boys, while not exceptionally handsome, were at least not bad-looking.
The girl's beauty, while not stunning, was still quite lovely.
Shi Zi turned his head and shouted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense here!"
The woman, however, didn't take it to heart and laughed even harder: "Oh my, you have a certain charm when you're angry."
She leaned close to Shizi's ear and whispered, "Little brother, just give in to your big sister."
Shi Zi glared at her fiercely, without saying a word.
The woman blinked and asked, "By the way, little brother, what's your name?"
Shi Zi, exasperated by her persistent questioning, had no choice but to answer her.
"My nickname is Shizi, and my full name is Su Ziyu. I am a citizen of the Ling Kingdom. Can you release me now?"
Upon hearing his reply, the woman chuckled: "Oh, Shi Zi, Su Ziyu, what a nice name."
But my sister hasn't had enough fun yet, how can she let you go so easily?
She hooked Shi Zi's chin with her finger, her eyes filled with a hint of mockery.
"Su Ziyu, you say you are a citizen of the Ling Kingdom, so why are you in such a hurry? Are you carrying some unspeakable secret?"
Shi Zi turned his head away and snorted coldly, "None of your business."
The woman pretended to be angry: "Hmph, that's not a good attitude of yours. You're still in my hands. Be careful, or I really won't let you go."
She burst out laughing right after she finished speaking, pfft, haha...
After watching her laugh for a while, Shi Zi leaned closer to him and blew a breath into his ear.
"Why don't you beg your sister? Maybe she'll be in a good mood and let you go."
Shi Zi, her face flushed red, shouted loudly, "How can you be so shameless, woman?"
The woman laughed heartily: "Sister is shameless, what can you do to her?"
The senior sister standing to the side couldn't stand her mischievous junior sister either.
Unable to resist speaking up, she said, "Alright, alright, junior sister, stop teasing him. He was clearly injured when he was fighting you just now."
After saying that, he turned to Shizi and asked, "Then tell us, what are you rushing off to do?"
Shi Zi took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said, "Ladies, you are angry that I cannot tell you. But I do have important matters to attend to, and if this continues, it may be too late."
I have no past grudges or recent conflicts with you two ladies. I hope you two kind sisters will be merciful and let me leave.
The junior sister pouted and said, "No, no, how can I let you go so easily? Unless... unless... uh... unless you promise me one thing, then I'll let you go."
Shi Zi gritted his teeth and said, "As long as it's not against my conscience or morality, I'll agree."
The woman smiled smugly: "Alright, then I'll believe you this time and reluctantly let you go."
Just as she was about to help him untie himself, she suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "No, no, if you leave, I won't be able to find you and I won't be able to keep my promise, will I?"
Shi Zi had thought she would let him go, but when he heard her suddenly change her mind, he angrily shouted, "I already promised you, why don't you trust me anymore?"
Seeing that he was angry, the woman smiled and said, "Then you have to tell me where to find you in the future, or give me a token so that I can come back to you to fulfill my promise."
Shi Zi's face darkened: "I came out in a moment of panic, I don't have any token on me to give you."
"Oh, really?" After saying that, the woman reached out and started groping around on the stone.
The senior sister shook her head and said helplessly, "Junior sister, you can't be so willful."
"Oh, senior sister, it's alright now. I'll let him go once I find the token."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he found a small bag on the stone.
The woman took out a bag, her eyes fixed on the pebbles: "You still say you have nothing on you, but isn't this it?"
When Shi Zi saw the woman take out a bag, he said angrily, his voice trembling with tears.
"You are not allowed to take my sister Xiaoya's things. This is the only thing my sister Xiaoya left behind. You must give it back to me now."
Seeing Shi Zi's angry and crying appearance, the woman couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.
Her smile froze instantly, and her hand holding the bag stopped in mid-air.
She never expected that such a small bag could make him cry.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know this bag was so important to you." Saying this, she quickly handed the bag back to Shizi.
The senior sister stepped forward, gently patted her junior sister's shoulder, and said, "Junior sister, you really went too far this time."
The junior sister looked regretful and said to Shi Zi, "Su Ziyu, I really didn't mean it. Don't be angry. I'll let you go right now."
She hurriedly untied the rope from Shizi and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I promise I won't make things difficult for you again."
Shi Zi snatched the bag, gripped it tightly in his hand, glared at the woman fiercely, and turned to leave.
Shi Zi quickly thanked them, saying, "Thank you both, ladies. I will definitely repay you if I have the chance in the future."
After finishing speaking, Shi Zi turned around, mounted his horse, and as he prepared to leave, he looked at the woman and said, "Don't worry, I will keep my promise to you."
I live in Phantom City. If we meet again, please tell me your conditions. I promise I will keep my word as long as I can do it.
The woman stood beside him and said, "Su Ziyu, you'd better keep your word, and be careful on the road."
Shi Zi didn't look back, but simply raised the whip in his hand and galloped away.
The two watched the pebbles disappear into the distance, and then the senior sister turned her head and tapped her junior sister's forehead.
"You really went too far this time. Don't be so willful in the future."
The junior sister stuck out her tongue, lowered her head, and whispered, "Senior sister, I know I was wrong, I won't do it again next time."
The senior sister sighed helplessly: "Alright, alright, let's go, we should continue on our way."
Shi Zi ran as fast as he could, thinking of finding the Spirit King as soon as possible and telling him about what had happened in the Illusionary Spirit Palace.
