Originally, her route and time were all planned, but now with a carriage, there was a slight change.
She planned to first go to the nearby tower according to the plot to see her future base camp. Then she would go to Tianqing Manor and the Lianhun Sect branch, and finally, let Ji Shengyao kill Lin Fan in the arena, ending the first stage.
According to the plot, Ji Shengyao is the main heroine of this game, her Master Ye Ruguo is the Late Stage heroine, and her Junior Sister Zheng Linger is the DLC heroine. However, the DLC is already in the Immortal Realm, and the plot hasn't reached that point yet, so Zheng Linger can only be considered a supporting character. Before the Immortal Realm, she could even leave here and return to modern times.
Moreover, Zheng Linger has a fiery personality, like a little chili pepper, and she's just come of age. She really doesn't want to provoke her, so she'll just let her continue to be a supporting character in peace.
Wang Li, without a word, directly grabbed Ji Shengyao's wrist and pulled her into the carriage: "Take off your shoes!"
One must take off their shoes to enter this carriage. You can't possibly step on the bedding with shoes on, right? Besides the bed, there was also a wooden platform at the back of the carriage for placing teacups.
Wang Li had Ji Shengyao sit on the wooden steps, and she pulled off both of Ji Shengyao's white cloth socks, exposing her fair and delicate little feet.
Perhaps due to shyness, her glistening white, jade-like toes subtly tightened. Wang Li grabbed one of her lotus root-like ankles with one hand, while the other hand unceremoniously held her foot.
Although Ji Shengyao's feet were soft and boneless, pure white and crystalline, and felt slightly cool to the touch, she still focused on transmitting spiritual energy through her palm. Her palm instantly turned light gold, and healing spiritual energy flowed from Wang Li's palm to Ji Shengyao's feet.
The spiritual energy, carrying warmth, passed over the top of her foot, making Ji Shengyao feel warm and comfortable. She couldn't help but let out a soft hum: "Mm~..."
"Little one, comfortable, aren't you?"
Watching Ji Shengyao comfortably narrow her eyes, Wang Li felt she had the potential to be a foot massage therapist. She didn't know traditional Chinese medicine, but she was intimately familiar with spiritual energy. She could easily detect the faint blue spiritual energy that had invaded Ji Shengyao's legs and feet.
She lifted Ji Shengyao's other small foot, pressing both thumbs into the most chaotic point of spiritual energy in Ji Shengyao's sole. With a firm press, she gathered spiritual energy at her fingertips and injected it into Ji Shengyao's sole.
Her own spiritual energy was exceptionally pure, almost tangible; it could no longer be called mere "Qi." Seizing this Opportunity, she directly channeled her spiritual energy into Ji Shengyao's Meridians. These two streams of spiritual energy would benefit Ji Shengyao for life.
However, as Ji Shengyao was enjoying the warmth and comfort with a hesitant heart, two sharp pains suddenly shot through her soles. Her body trembled, and she cried out, "Ahhh!"
If I weren't afraid to use spiritual energy freely, fearing I'd displease the demoness, how could I lose my composure like a common person?
Moreover, feet are such a private part; how can one let someone touch, pinch, and rub them so casually?
Among these reputable Sects, with their rigid doctrines, they rarely expose any part of their body besides their face and neck. For them, feet are something only a Dao Companion can touch.
"Does it hurt? Then I'll rub it for you."
Wang Li pressed her two thumbs into Ji Shengyao's pinkish-white sole, rotating them clockwise...
Gradually, Ji Shengyao's pain turned into an itch: "You hateful demoness, you're truly annoying, always bullying me!"
Just then, Ji Shengyao noticed her waist token, which was hanging from Wang Li's waist, suddenly flash with light. She seized the Opportunity when Wang Li wasn't paying attention and snatched the waist token off.
Then she saw a message that made her scalp tingle: "Senior Sister, wait for me. No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely rescue you and then slay that demoness who kidnapped you with a single sword stroke!"
Not long ago, in the dilapidated Daoist temple, Zheng Linger, leading a group of Tianchi Holy Land Disciples, officially met with Jiang Mei and her party. As soon as they met, Zheng Linger's round eyes darted around: "Senior Sister Jiang, where is my Senior Sister?"
Jiang Mei first sighed, then hesitantly spoke: "Your Senior Sister... something happened to her!"
"What! Is she injured? Where is she?!"
"When we were clearing out Hehuan remnants, a Hehuan Demoness suddenly appeared and forcibly took her away. That Hehuan Demoness also cultivates the Hehuan demonic Spell for women and wants to refine your Senior Sister into a Cauldron. At that time, my Master was severely injured during her Breakthrough. Now that her injuries have somewhat healed, she has gone to the Spiritual Spring, where spiritual energy is abundant, to continue cultivating and recuperating."
"You're saying a Hehuan Demoness forcibly took my Senior Sister away right in front of you? Isn't that preposterous?"
Zheng Linger was momentarily dazed, so shocked that she couldn't speak clearly: "But... but... you just let it go? Why didn't you contact the Sect through the waist token? Even if other peaks don't want to get involved, you could contact the Sect Master and Ancestral Grandmother. Then, with a Sect order, they wouldn't be able to refuse."
"The Sect is closed off, refusing contact with the outside world. Moreover, Ancestral Grandmother once said that this trip was the Saintess's Opportunity, and she hoped we wouldn't easily disrupt it."
"Is the Opportunity being kidnapped and made into a Cauldron? What kind of damned Opportunity is that? I don't want it! I'm going to rescue my Senior Sister right now!"
After saying that, Zheng Linger rushed towards the door, but Jiang Mei grabbed her: "Junior Sister Zheng, you're not a child anymore, don't be so impulsive. That demoness's strength is not low, at least Golden Core."
"My Senior Sister's fate is unknown, and the suffering she's enduring is unimaginable. How can you expect me to calm down! If you've placed a tracking Spell on my Senior Sister, then transfer it to me."
Zheng Linger scanned her fellow Disciples one by one: "Senior Sisters, who will come with me? Senior Sister Xu, you and my Senior Sister are close, you wouldn't just stand by and watch her die, would you?"
Xu Yu Zhu was the only other Personal Disciple here, a Prodigy among Prodigies. Although she was only at 7th Layer Golden Core, she was invincible within her Realm. With her, safety was guaranteed.
"I'll go with you!" Xu Yu Zhu nodded, and more than half of the Tianchi Disciples who came with Zheng Linger also followed behind her.
After going out, Zheng Linger tightly clutched the waist token and sent a message: "Senior Sister, wait for me!"
Ji Shengyao took the waist token, just about to reply, when she saw Wang Li looking at her with a puzzled expression. She turned the tables: "What are you looking at? Can't I just have a chat with my Junior Sister?"
"I wasn't going to say that. It's just that I suddenly remembered, I don't know why, but when I woke up, my butt hurt a little. Do you know what happened?"
Ji Shengyao's eyes flickered, and being bad at lying, her confidence was also very low: "How would I know? Maybe it's retribution for you hitting me so hard... more than fifty times yesterday."
Wang Li had already released a small part of her consciousness when Ji Shengyao rolled up her hair. She personally watched Ji Shengyao hit her butt exactly three times.
After hitting her, she had an excited and joyful expression. Wang Li had originally planned to severely scold this sneaky cat when she woke up, but seeing her elated appearance, Wang Li ultimately chose silence.
"It wasn't you who hit me, was it? If I find out it was you, I'll first strip your clothes, then strip your skin!"
"No, absolutely not!"
"Really not? It seems I won't get the truth out of you without a little persuasion!" Wang Li said, pressing her thumb harder again. Ji Shengyao's feet curled up in pain, trembling slightly, and her five jade-like toes clenched tightly, looking surprisingly... cute.
