Chapter 1024 — The Heavenly Dragon-Drawn Treasure Chariot
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
When the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird sees your carriage using her for a tail, how could she forgive you? " Yun Chuxiu leapt onto the shafts, swung her legs, and picked up the whip hanging at the side, laughing, "The driver sits here, whip in hand, and yet the shafts are painted with the Great Way of Youdu, letting this treasure chariot ignore the Great Way and drive straight into Youdu. " Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I get on well with Tubo.
Painting the Great Way of Youdu is nothing. " Yun Chuxiu laughed coldly.
"Tubo is the one who wields the whip! Your driver sits here wielding a whip as well—do you think Tubo will give you a kind face? " Shen Mu's face was black as iron. "This chariot was given to me by you ten Heavenly Venerables—it's none of my doing, and you're one of the ten too, aren't you?
Who knows how much of this mischief is yours!
" He had indeed gone out intending to call upon the ancient gods of every realm, and the stated purpose in his memorial to the court was also to visit the ancient gods and roam the world. The Heavenly Court's gift of this chariot was plainly meant to do him down.
Yun Chuxiu giggled, swinging her legs. "Yes! I campaigned hard for the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot; everyone said it was splendid, so they gave it to you.
" Shen Mu gave an angry snort. By then Divine King Langwo had walked over, mounted the chariot with graceful steps, and taken the seat beside the master's seat. "This carriage is not bad.
Heavenly Venerable, when do we set out? " Yan'er stood on Dragon Qilin's head as Dragon Qilin came bounding up; Demon King Dutian, his four legs spread wide, sat on Dragon Qilin's back, and when they reached the chariot he leapt into the air and landed on the shafts.
Yun Chuxiu handed him the whip with a wicked smile. Demon King Dutian took it and praised, "A fine carriage—it must be fast! " Yun Chuxiu raised a soft white hand and drew it across her throat.
Shen Mu gave her two cold looks and asked Yan'er, "Sister Yan'er, have you seen Big Head? " Yan'er replied, "Big Head has been studying with Qi Jiuyi these last few days. I've already sent someone to fetch him; counting the time, he should be here by now.
" Dragon Qilin jumped onto the treasure chariot, burrowed into the cabin, and lay down to sleep on the cloud mat, while Yan'er flew up from his head and settled on the carriage pillar, shaking out her feathers. After a moment, Shujun came hurrying over.
Seeing the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot from afar, he praised, "A fine carriage!
Truly magnificent!
" So saying, he mounted and took the seat to the right of the master's seat. Left with no choice, Shen Mu boarded and sat in the master's seat.
Yun Chuxiu clambered up too, and seeing that there was no seat for her, made to sit on Shen Mu's lap. Shen Mu was about to kick her off when Divine King Langwo said with a smile, "Sister, come sit here—this seat is quite roomy.
" Yun Chuxiu squeezed into the seat beside her, giggling, "Sister Langwo, the two of us might as well be born of the same mother—how rare to look so much alike. " Divine King Langwo smiled serenely. "Yes.
" Yun Chuxiu blinked and looked at the willow leaf between her brows.
"What lies under sister's willow leaf? " "You wouldn't want to know," Divine King Langwo said gently. Outside, Demon King Dutian cracked the whip, and the nine heavenly dragons at once soared into the air.
The nine dragons drew the treasure chariot out of the residence. The moment the wheels turned, an apparition of Xuanwu welled up beneath them, treading a heavenly river, and the long stream wound away into the distance.
"Sect Master, where shall we go?
" Demon King Dutian's voice came from outside. "There are many spirit-energy transfer bridges in the Heavenly Court leading to all worlds.
If we take a spirit-energy transfer bridge, we can save no small portion of the journey.
