When Gu Wu's guards gasped and ran back from the county yamen, their faces were pale. None of them had expected that the Little God of Death would slaughter through the entire county yamen.
After they described what they had seen in the county yamen, Gu Wu immediately ordered the boat to set sail. He was afraid that it would be too late to leave if he hesitated any longer.
He told Gu Huan and the others to board the boat quickly. They didn't dare to delay, fearing that they would be mistaken for being on Xi Qingyue's side.
Although the county magistrate was dead, the local troops near Lü City were still there. Who knew if they would suddenly come to arrest people? It was better to make a quick getaway.
Half an hour later, they relaxed a little when they didn't see any official boats chasing after them.
"Brother Wu, aren't you being too nervous? We didn't kill anyone. Besides, your uncle is the Marquis of Loyalty. They won't arrest us casually."
Gu Wu shook his head upon hearing this. "Not necessarily. So many people died. If they can't catch the real culprit, they might just pin the blame on us. It's better to leave early and put our minds at ease."
He didn't stop the boat but continued to sail forward quickly. The earlier he got home, the better.
By this time, Xi Qingyue and the other girl had already left them behind by more than a hundred miles. They were sitting leisurely on the bar stools of the yacht, eating sliced watermelon.
"Sister, traveling by boat is so fast. None of those other boats can catch up with us." Xi Weilan said excitedly with a mouthful of watermelon.
Xi Qingyue looked at the boats being left behind one by one and smiled with pursed lips. They were from different eras. It was impossible for them to catch up.
She lay on the bar counter, looking at the scenery on both sides with a great mood. At the same time, she came up with a good idea.
She turned her head and gave a faint smile to Xi Weilan, who was sitting beside her and enjoying the watermelon. "Lan'er, do you want to become more proficient in your light - body skill?"
Xi Weilan nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. "Yes, sister. I can't do your magic, and my light - body skill is not as good as Big Sister Lu's. I want to learn light - body skill quickly."
Xi Qingyue put down the melon in her hand and also placed the melon in Xi Weilan's hand on the bar counter. Then, a stream of water seemed to have eyes as it washed their hands. After the water passed, a gentle breeze blew, leaving their hands clean.
Xi Weilan looked at her hands, full of novelty. This was much more convenient than going to wash her hands herself.
She giggled foolishly, as happy as if she had eaten a drumstick.
Xi Qingyue said with a smile, "This place is quite suitable for you to practice your light - body skill. Later, we'll sail to the right. Whether it's the willows on the shore or the water surface, you can use them for practice. Don't be afraid of falling. I'll watch over you and won't let you get hurt."
She had originally thought that if Xi Weilan fell into the water, she could learn to swim by the way. But she decided not to be too hasty. It was better to learn swimming slowly. After all, the water might be dirty if swallowed.
Her suggestion made Xi Weilan's eyes light up. She trusted her sister's words. Immediately, she jumped off the bar stool, excited. "Sister, I want to practice light - body skill right now."
"Okay. Let's slow down first and then move the yacht closer to the shore."
After Xi Qingyue slowed down the yacht and sailed it towards the shore, she reset the driving mode before walking back to Xi Weilan.
She stroked her head and said with a smile, "Alright. You can practice on the yacht for a while first, and then fly to the trees beside. Just fly boldly. Don't be afraid."
Xi Weilan nodded obediently. She was very interested in light - body skill and wished she could fly through the sky and the earth right now.
With Xi Qingyue's encouragement, she was extremely brave today.
She flew up and down on the yacht, even flying back and forth on the top several times. Every time she was about to fall, she landed steadily.
A quarter of an hour later, she aimed at the willow beside and flew towards it with a "whoosh". She hugged the willow branch and then, following the method taught by Lu Qianning, flew back to the yacht with another "whoosh".
Xi Qingyue nodded with a smile. If she couldn't learn with such talent, then others might as well not learn at all.
Flying back and forth like this made Xi Weilan very happy. Several times, the branches she grabbed were too thin, and she almost fell into the water. But the willow branches below seemed to have eyes and rolled her up, throwing her to the top of the willow. Then, she used the force to fly back to the yacht.
She stood on the yacht, hands on her hips, and laughed merrily. She was really getting more and more excited.
Seeing that she was having so much fun, Xi Qingyue handed her a large glass of spiritual spring water to drink. Drinking the water would prevent her from getting tired and allow her to play to her heart's content. Moreover, her light - body skill would improve.
The strange actions of the two sisters shocked the people on the nearby boats. They stared at the yacht with their mouths agape.
At first, when they saw Xi Weilan almost fall into the water, they felt sorry for her. But when they saw her flying back and forth non - stop, they almost rubbed their eyes raw.
A three - year - old child was flying back and forth on the road, flying to the trees and back to the boat. Several times, they saw her about to fall into the water, but she somehow stopped on the water surface and was then bounced back to the boat. This made everyone who saw it suspect that they were having hallucinations.
After more than half an hour, Xi Qingyue told her to stop.
"Lan'er, take a break. You've improved a lot compared to when we were in the capital. You won't get stuck in the air anymore. We'll practice more on the way, and in the future, you'll be able to fly back and forth on your own."
She pulled Xi Weilan to sit on the sofa and handed her an ice - cream.
Xi Weilan happily took the ice - cream and took a big bite. She had so much fun today. She could fly to her heart's content without having to worry about falling.
She thought to herself happily, "Sister is really the most amazing person in the world. I must study hard so that I can be as amazing as sister in the future."
Xi Qingyue didn't know what she was thinking. At this moment, she had already started to practice her supernatural powers. Spears of ice appeared out of thin air in front of her. She controlled the ice spears and stabbed them at the thick trunk of a willow tree.
In an instant, the trunk was pierced by the ice spears, and then the ice spears instantly melted into a pool of water and fell into the river.
"Wow, sister is so amazing!" Xi Weilan was extremely admiring. Her sister was truly invincible.
Xi Qingyue smiled and pinched her little face. She couldn't help but wonder if her sister, who had also drunk the spiritual spring water, could awaken supernatural powers. Having supernatural powers would be much more powerful than light - body skill.
She looked up at the scorching sun overhead. The temperature was quite high, which could be considered high - temperature weather. However, it was much milder than the high - temperature during the end - times. It couldn't really be called a natural disaster. Maybe even if there were natural disasters here, one couldn't awaken supernatural powers. After all, a lot of people would die in natural disasters. She immediately dispelled these thoughts. It was better to let her study light - body skill well. Starting to learn at the age of three, no one would be able to bully her when she grew up.
She looked at Xi Weilan and smiled proudly. "Lan'er is also great. Other kids your age are still crying. You can already fly back and forth."
Hearing this, Xi Weilan laughed merrily. "Sister, I'll study hard. Next time we meet bad guys, I'll beat them up severely and let them know how powerful I am."
