Aiqing's Journey

A month and a few days ago.

Outside, a few hundred meters away from the Vermillion Sonata's royal capital.

Sniff Sniff...

Aiqing together with Shi Lue Yu, Shi Huotian, Si Shenyu, and Vielka set sail to start their journey.

Aiqing wipes her nose, tears can be seen from her eyes falling down to her cheeks, her white face tinged with pink exudes a certain attraction.

Huotian looked at Aiqing, yes, clearly, Aiqing would definitely miss her father and mother, especially when she had just gotten reunited with her father and now, due to some sort of reason, Aiqing needs to depart once again, leaving both of her father and mother.

Huotian and Shenyu both didn't know the clear reason that Aiqing needs to go with them, but there's one thing that's clear, it is because of them.

Shi Huotian approaches Aiqing, whose two hands have been trying to dry up the tears on her eyes, but continues weeping.

Huotian pats Aiqing on her head: "It's okay, we can definitely handle our own, after all, Uncle Shi is together with us, he's an Immortal Foundation ranked expert, your father helped him achieve this too!"

Shenyu nods her head, patting Aiqing on the shoulder she spoke: "Yes, we can definitely do it without much trouble."

Shi Lue Yu, Huotian's uncle nodded, he only obtained such safe cultivation thanks to Aiqing's father, and he didn't want to be indebted more to these family; "Don't worry little lass, I can protect them without a hitch."

Although Huotian is at Earth rank and Shenyu is in Gold rank, but Shi Lue Yu is an Immortal Foundation ranked expert, in human territory, there are at least only 200 or more people at such rank, and he, is one of them, who would even mess with their group as they journey.

Huotian nods his head, he knew how powerful Immortal Foundation rank experts are, and with one on this journey, their trip will be smooth sailing.

"You should return to your family, spend your time with them instead."

Aiqing heard this and her sniffing stopped, he looked at Huotian slowly, her eyes blinking beautifully, her lips trembling slightly.

Aiqing's eyes suddenly widen as she looks at Huotian.

Huotian nods his head; 'Yes, that's it. As your father's sworn brother, this is something that I could do. Now come to this uncle's embrace.'

But what they didn't expect is Aiqing's words.

"ARE YOU INSANE!?"

"Huh?!" All three of them looked at Aiqing in shock.

Aiqing pouts her beautiful white cheeks and continued: "Did you know how hard I tried to finally be free from my mother's everyday nagging and you wish me to return there?!"

Putting her two hands on her tiny waist: "Hmmp! I am now free, I can finally do whatever I want, and you want me to return, HAHAHAHAHA!"

Aiqing then looked at Huotian with a serious face: "Stop joking around."

Aiqing then returns to her mood, sniffing again and spoke in a soft lovely tone; "I'm finally free... Hahahaha, I'm finally free!!!"

Huotian and the rest looked at Aiqing and inside their heads; 'Are you a demon that had been sealed for billions of years?'

Well, they're not really wrong that much.

Aiqing then looks at them: "Let's start this journey! To the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, we go!"

Aiqing pointed north where the location of the Empire is.

Huotian and the others finally got over it and couldn't help but sigh; "It will take at least three months to get there, and for the trip to the demon race's land, it might take a few more months, maybe a year."

Aiqing heard this, and couldn't believe it herself: "Years... Years without mom and dad... Hehehe... so many things I can do..."

She then looks at Huotian and spoke: "I just want to say something first, let's make some rules here."

Huotian and the rest looked at Aiqing in bewilderment.

Aiqing smiled: "First off, once we finished this journey, no matter how early we finished this trip, you`ll definitely have to rest and live in the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire for a year and not contact my family, got it?!"

Huotian looked at Aiqing: "Do you want to go alone that much?"

Aiqing smiled, one side of her lips curve up, one of her brows down while the others up: "You bet!"

Aiqing looked at the four of them with a prideful smug look as she said those words full confidence.

Huotian chuckles: "I think you took after me instead of your father! Hahahaha!"

Aiqing chuckles: "Then we'll definitely get along better through this journey, do you accept uncle?!"

Huotian nods his head: "I accept."

Meanwhile, Shenyu's face is currently blushing as Huotian accepted Aiqing's words; 'I'll live together with Tian'er for a whole year before we go back home...'

The two, Aiqing and Huotian laughs together for a while before Aiqing utters silently; "You've just made a deal with the devil uncle, don't regret it!"

"What?" Huotian asked he seemed to have heard Aiqing spoke.

"Nothing I said let's go!"

Aiqing punches through the air and excitedly walks forward.

All of them followed Aiqing's lead. But Aiqing suddenly stops: "I want to reach Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire in ten days, so you guys should just go with that flow, got it?"

Huotian nods his head, even with his uncle, that speed would be impossible, what more can Aiqing do.

Huotian and the others could only sigh, they might be resting a little earlier due to exhaustion.

But then, Aiqing stops as her two tiny arms folded on her waist before she jumps up; "Flame Art: Celestial Flame Chariot!"

As she shouts the skill, the Spiritual Energy continuously expanded from her Soul Sea, releasing from her two tiny arms are golden colored flames as it slowly formed into five meters wide and fifteen meters long until it became a flaming chariot with eight horse-looking fire in front.

"HOP ON!"

Aiqing smilingly said as she jumps in front of the chariot.

All of them looked at Aiqing in shock; 'What kind of power can make something like that?'

But only one of them, Vielka looked at Aiqing in amazement; 'Isn't that... a lost art? Celestial Flame Chariot...'

Vielka embedded this in her memories as she looks at Aiqing who's background had been mystifying; 'Mo Family... What kind of power are they really? Are they a hidden power that only chose to rise now? Or are they from the other realms?'

Nevertheless, Vielka chooses to observe Aiqing more, to probe the depth of her comprehension with the Fire Path. After all, she herself is a fire path cultivator.

But then, she became shaken as Aiqing looks at her with a knowing smirk before moving her gaze again.

Vielka looks at Aiqing in shock; 'This child...'

Huotian tried to touch the flaming chariot and became shocked; "It's not hot?!"

Aiqing looks at him and spoke: "Uncle, if you want it to be hot, just tell me, I`ll adjust it for you."

Huotian looks at Aiqing: "No thanks..."

Aiqing chuckles, and as soon as the other four rode the chariot, Aiqing immediately flew through the horizon.

Huotian looks at Aiqing as he sighs; 'It's not even an hour yet I'm already exhausted...'

Deep inside, Huotian already regrets his decision of accepting his sworn brother's decision, well, in terms of who's going to accompany them.

Huotian immediately had a teary eyes as he looks at the sky: "Oh... I will be traveling for a few months like this..."

Thinking like this, Huotian could only silently grief himself.
