Ninth-level fairy

Chapter 184 Fire Sword Gate

The boat girl uttered a soft "Huh?" "Du Fang? What a strange name!"

"What's so strange about that? I'm from Dujiakanzi, where the sky is round and the earth is square."

The boat girl laughed, "I thought it was Xiaofang's Fang. I'm sorry, a grown man, you gave me a female name..."

Du Fang was speechless for a while.

Feel the breath of those pursuers disappear.

Du Fang held her in his arms and rushed out from under the bridge, and the two hid behind the house.

He pinched her cute face again, it was so soft and smooth that the boat girl's ears perked up: "Why do you always pinch my face?"

"Because it's cute... because I want to pinch it..."

The boat girl suddenly kicked him. Du Fang hugged his legs and sighed:

"You should leave now. Following me will only bring you endless disasters!"

The boat girl looked at him blankly, not expecting that they would have to part so soon. Although they had known each other for a very short time, the feeling of Du Fang holding her in his arms just now, which made her heart beat wildly, was so wonderful.

Let her indulge in that wonderful feeling for a long time.

Du Fang touched her head gently, a trace of blood hanging on her body, turned around and disappeared around the corner.

He knew that his immortal body would bring endless disasters to those around him.

His beloved family members, friends, uncle-master, and lover all died because of this immortal body.

He didn't want a woman he had just met to suffer misfortune just because of a brief encounter with him, and he was even more afraid that the young man would come back.

Unable to find himself, he took his anger out on this girl.

Leaving behind a trace of breath was just to sense whether the girl could leave Quzhou City safely.

The boat girl looked at his disappearing back and suddenly felt a little melancholy in her heart, but when she touched the copper coins in her pocket, they still had the warmth of Du Fang's body.

Her heart was suddenly filled with joy again, and the girl's mood was like the clouds in the sky. She was intoxicated for a while, and suddenly she remembered the black knights just now. A trace of fear flashed through her heart, and she hurriedly picked up the basket and left the street.

As we hurried along, we got closer and closer to the city gate, and my heart became more and more at ease.

When I got to the door, I thought to myself: it's not easy to get into the city anyway, so I might as well go to the market and buy some hair oil, silk scarves and accessories, and I can also buy some cloth by the way. There are still most of the lychees in the basket, it would be a shame not to sell them and take them back.

Thinking of this, he retracted his foot and thought, "If I don't go to the morning market, I won't run into those evil people."

Thinking this way, I felt more at ease, and I strolled leisurely along the scenery, looking around in the bustling city.

Arriving at a stall selling fans, the boat girl rummaged through the options and finally picked up a bamboo fan with a picture of drizzling rain and slanting wind. She imagined her future lover holding it in his hand with such grace and elegance that she chuckled in her heart again.

She was secretly happy but also a little sad, because the image of her future lover suddenly appeared in her mind, that of Du Fang with his light stubble.

He is a cultivator, and I am a mortal, so we will never have any intersection in this life.

Seeing her holding the fan with a strange look on her face, the stall owner shook her and said, "Girl, do you want to buy one?" The boat girl smiled and said, "Yes, I don't know how much your fan costs. It looks good, but I don't know if it will last."

The stall owner said, "This is made of authentic Xiangfei bamboo. Do you think it is durable? Look, there are spots on it? This...this..." He pointed as he spoke.

The boat girl interrupted him: "How much money do you have? It looks okay. If my boss didn't insist on having some, I really wouldn't care about you!"

The stall owner said unhappily, "Young lady, how can you say that? This is the best bamboo fan in Jiangcheng. There are so many fans on this long street, but I dare say that even the ones sold in fan shops are not necessarily better than mine, and the price is several times more expensive! If you really want it, I will give you a fair price. How about seventeen cents?"

The boat girl shook her head and said, "I think your fan is only worth seven cents at most. That's all I'll pay." Then she raised five fingers.

The stall owner shook his head like a rattle and said, "This won't do. Girl, you're too ruthless. Even when bargaining, you can't bargain down to the ankles. If you keep doing this, we small business owners will have nothing to lose."

The boatwoman put the fan directly into the basket, counted out five coins and put them back on the stall, and said sweetly, "I'll take the fan. You can take the money if you want. I know you can definitely make some money. Next time you come, I'll be your big buyer again. How about that?"

"Next time, you must bring your friends to have a look. It's so cheap for you."

The boat girl turned around, winked at him with her right eye, and licked her lips with her tongue. She smiled charmingly, and the stall owner smiled as well, saying:

"It's a pity you're married, otherwise I would definitely introduce you to a handsome young man."

The boatwoman had already walked a few steps, but upon hearing this she suddenly turned back and ran over, grabbed a handful of lychees and placed them on the stall, also saying with a smile:

"My third aunt has been a widow for many years. She looks like a fairy. How about I introduce her to you?"

The stall owner quickly shook his head and said, "No, my son is as old as you. Thank you for your kindness..."

Before he could finish his words, the bustling street suddenly became quiet. The sounds of bargaining, scolding, children crying, and men shouting all disappeared. Only the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves could be heard, stepping on the bluestone pavement, coming towards them.

The boat girl turned around in surprise and saw a black lacquered carriage with extremely gorgeous decorations and four tall black horses in front.

Two white horses followed behind the carriage, and two men in black stood straight with long swords on their shoulders, with a heroic look on their faces.

The horse's hooves move rhythmically, the front foot goes down, the hind foot goes up, the hind foot goes down, and the front foot goes up.

Passersby held their breath and stared at the black carriage.

The fan vendor quietly tugged at the boat girl's clothes and whispered, "Come to the back!"

The boatwoman asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

As the two were talking, the small window on the carriage opened, and a pair of sharp eyes from behind the curtain swept across the crowd and shot straight at her.

The boat girl shuddered when she was swept by this look. Then someone in the carriage coughed lightly, and the man in black on the white horse behind immediately jumped down like a civet cat and bent in front of the window. The man in the carriage moved his lips a few times, and the man in black turned around and swept his sharp eyes towards the boat girl.

The boat girl's heart was pounding, not knowing what had happened. But until the black carriage passed by and the crowd began to noisy again, she still felt nothing had happened. After a long pause, she finally let out a long sigh and patted her chest to comfort herself.

The stall owner also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You almost scared me to death just now!"

The boatwoman asked, "What's going on?"

The stall owner said, "The carriage that just passed by was that of the old lady from the Fire Sword Sect, but her eyes were so cold that it didn't look like her. But I really hope she didn't see you, otherwise your life would be ruined!"
