Bai Jing and Ying Ying made their way towards the entrance of the Beast Hall.
There, pacing back and forth in anticipation near the entrance of the Beast Hall was Shang Zhi. Upon seeing Bai Jing his eyes lit up and he made his way to her respectfully.
"Senior Sister Bai!" Shang Zhi exclaimed.
Bai Jing gave him a once over and spoke with no expression.
"No need to call me senior, just call me Princess Jing."
"Yes, Princess Jing!" Shang Zhi said excitedly.
Bai Jing nodded in satisfaction.
Then she set her eyes on the corner of the hall where Qiqi stood nervously, taking quick glances towards Bai Jing.
Seeing Bai Jing look towards her, Qiqi hesitantly made her way over. Bai Jing stared at her the entire time.
Noticing Bai Jing's gaze Shang Zhi stepped aside and curiously looked towards the meek and ordinary girl making her way over.
Coming to a stop before Bai Jing, Qiqi preformed a bow and spoke softly with a slight tremble.
"Senior Sister, I mean uhh... Young Miss!"
After Qiqi spoke she nervously kept her head looking down.
Bai Jing smiled toward Qiqi and couldn't help but extend her hand out to stroke Qiqi's head, causing her to tremble.
"You can just refer to me as Princess as well. Okay?" Bai Jing said, removing her hand from Qiqi's head.
Feeling Bai Jing's soft touch leave her head, Qiqi yearned for more and subconsciously raised her head to look at Bai Jing. Upon lifting her head she ended up staring right into Bai Jing's eyes with a slight blush on her face.
"..."
Qiqi lost herself for a moment upon staring into Bai Jing's breathtaking amber eyes.
Qiqi soon regained her wits after a few blinks and hurriedly moved her eyes down to the ground at Bai Jing's feet. Then still a bit flustered just moved her gaze to the side.
"Yes Princess..." Qiqi finally said quietly in a low murmur.
Bai Jing looked at all this with an amused smile on her face until she heard a sigh from behind her.
It came from an exasperated Ying Ying, who was wondering how she would train Qiqi in the future.
Looking at Ying Ying, Bai Jing suddenly recalled something.
"Oh yeah, you should all introduce yourselves. Then we can get going." Bai Jing announced.
The three introduced themselves starting with Ying Ying and ending with a nervous Qiqi.
Soon the four of them were soaring through the air, leaving Origin Mountain. Shang Zhi rode on a large golden sword with runes inscribed on it that cut through the air with a whistling noise. While Qiqi silently rode on an plain looking sword behind everyone.
As they were passing over Origin City, Bai Jing recalled that she forgot to pick up an extra uniform for Ying Ying to have modified. Bai Jing decided she would visit Sister Fei next time and maybe get something for Qiqi as well.
Bai Jing was bored as she flew and decided to take out the Queen Sparrow, whom she had decided to name Queenie, out for a test drive.
"Chirp Chirp Chirp!"
Queenie called out as she spread her wings after being released from the beast taming ring. Queenie did a few flips in the air before steadying out.
Bai Jing gently came to Queenies back and sat on it. There was less room on Queenie's back than Bai Jing had initially though. As when she sat down Bai Jing sank into Queenies fluffy feathers. If another one wanted to ride on her they would need to be practically sitting on Bai Jing's lap.
Bai Jing communicated with Queenie mentally giving her a command, Queenie turned around and flew besides Qiqi.
"You want a ride?" Bai Jing asked Qiqi as she fixed her hair that was blowing in the wind.
Looking at Bai Jing's divine figure and the little room on Queenie, Qiqiq lowered her head and shook her head in denial.
"Thank you... P-Princess but I am fine." Qiqi replied shyly.
Bai Jing thought as much, as she told Queenie to turn around and speed up, calling out.
"I'm going for a ride. I'll be back in a bit."
As Queenie sped up Shang Zhi called out to Bai Jing.
"Princess Jing! Princess Jing! I could use a ride if you don't mind!"
Shang Zhi was waving towards Bai Jing but she didn't even look towards him. Ying Ying however looked towards him with a scowl, dissatisfied.
"Haha, I was just joking around." Shang Zhi said towards Ying Ying with a laugh upon feeling her glare.
"Well then don't!" Was all that Ying Ying said before turning her head forward.
"..."
Bai Jing who was on Queenies back, already far ahead of the others was urging Queenie to go as fast as she could. Queenies wings seem to almost disappear in a blurry glow as they accelerated causing Bai Jing and itself to rapidly fly into the distance.
Bai Jing was slightly impressed with Queenies speed that had just reached the level of a Nascent Soul realm cultivator despite being at the Core Formation realm and not looking built for speed. However this speed was short lived.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
After a few minutes Bai Jing felt that Queenie was starting to grow tired and her Qi was falling at relatively fast pace.
Seeing this, Bai Jing got off Queenie and challenge her to a race to have some fun.
Bai Jing was very proud of her speed. Although she doesn't spend as much time with her movement techniques as she does with her offensive techniques, she did concentrated most of her effort on a single movement technique she modified herself, cultivating it to a high level.
Bai Jing had even managed to escape from a Peak Early-Stage Nascent Soul realm demonic beast without injury when training with her father thanks to it.
Cultivators that cultivate the wind element are generally the fastest and most agile cultivators. Bai Jing also especially emphasized speed in many of her techniques.
*Swish*
*Swish*
Bai Jing rapidly cut through the air while preforming various twists and loops while being followed by Queenie. Bai Jing would sometimes do a big loop and end up behind Queenie before surpassing her in a burst of speed, altogether Bai Jing was easily faster than Queenie.
Queenie was starting to lag far behind Bai Jing until all of a sudden, a wave of Qi emanated out of Queenie coating her in a film and compressing her feathers as she gained a burst of speed, cutting through the air like a knife and started catching up to Bai Jing.
"Chirp, Chirp!" Queenie cried out seeing that she was catching up to Bai Jing.
Bai Jing looked back at the approaching Queenie with a smile saying, "Not bad, but let's see if you got anything else up your wings when I get a little serious."
Around Bai Jing's ankles were two small green wings that suddenly enlarged to double their original size and another pair of glowing green wings appeared on her back that measured two meters each. With a flap of the wings on her back, Bai Jing flashed forward more than twenty meters then continued to gain speed as she flew into the distance at breakneck speed.
Queenie saw Bai Jing who was previously almost right in front of her become but a small dot in the distance all of a sudden. Queenie tried moving her wings harder and pushing her Qi faster but was unable to speed up even a little more.
"Chirpppp! Chirp, Chirp!" Quinine called out in defeat.
....
Back at the group, Shang Zhi tried talking to Qiqi but she kept silent most the time or only gave one word of response.
Shang Zhi then attempted talking to Ying Ying. Ying Ying was acting feisty, only giving snippy and condescending responses along with various warnings.
"You better not have any intentions towards the Young Miss or it will be the last thing you do!"
"If I ever catch you sneaking around the mountain I will personally beat you to a pulp."
"If you..."
"And don't think..."
"Don't say random nonsense to the Young Miss either. If you need to ask the Young Miss anything you come to me first, understand?"
Ying Ying looked arrogant and haughty as she berated Shang Zhi
Ying Ying was spouting various rules and regulations as she thought of them.
Shang Zhi did not look crestfallen by this though, he actually had a happy smile on his face and was nodding his head while flying close to Ying Ying.
Ying Ying paused her speech feeling a buzz from her token, she had got a response from the Bai Clan disciples about Shang Zhi and Qian Qiqi's backgrounds.
As she was looking over the information, Shang Zhi asked, "Anything else Ying Ying?" with a smile while drawing nearer.
"Call me Senior Sister, you're not allowed to call me Ying Ying!" Ying Ying said with a harrumph.
"Yes Sister Ying Ying!" Fatty Shang Zhi shouted with a smile seeming to be having fun.
"You!" Ying Ying looked at Shang Zhi with squinted eyes and a clenched fist, wondering how she should deal with this fellow.
While she was contemplating what she could use against Shang Zhi she noticed Queenie and Bai Jing in the distance coming back.
Ying Ying was relieved to see her return and planned on complaining about Shang Zhi towards her and getting him kicked off the mountain when her eyes widened in stupefaction at Bai Jing.
....
At some point Bai Jing and Queenie had turned around and headed back towards the group. Queenie was back to carrying Bai Jing but instead of sitting on top of Queenie, Bai Jing was currently upside-down bellow Queenie, being held by her ankles by a pair of talons.
Wind was blowing against the upside-down Bai Jing, her hair scattering in the wind and clothes fluttering. Bai Jing had a relaxed smile on her face with her eyes shut as she hung from Queenie feeling the breeze, her arms hanging loosely below her head.
"Chirp!"
Hearing a chirp Bai Jing opened her eyes and spotted the group in the distance.
"Speed up." Bai Jing said to Queenie.
Queenie flapped her wings harder in response but as a result Bai Jing swayed back and the wind changed direction causing her skirt to flip down.
Now the entirety of Bai Jing's luscious, long white legs were exposed for all to see along with a pair of vibrant red panties that just covered her important area and not much more.
Bai Jing had acquired this more modern piece of lingerie without Ying Ying's knowledge.
....
"Close your eyes!!!" Ying Ying hurriedly yelled out.
Seeing Shang Zhi who was flying right next to her with his eyes still open Ying Ying agilely extended her hands onto his face, covering his eyes.
With her hands covering Shang Zhi's face Ying Ying looked in all directions for anyone else in the area. She saw Qiqi in the back with a flushed face and hands covering her own but was more concerned with any men in the area.
"Eh?" Shang Zhi murmured when Ying Ying covered his eyes. He had just noticed Bai Jing in the distance but didn't have a good look.
Shang Zhi tried moving Ying Ying's hands from his face but they wouldn't budge.
"You cant look!" Ying Ying said aggressively, feeling Shang Zhi trying to remove her hands while she was looking on as Bai Jing slowly realized her skirt was flipped.
Shang Zhi soon smiled upon realizing he was practically holding hands with Ying Ying. He had come to like Ying Ying's aggressive and protective attitude in the short time they had met, not to mention she was a beauty herself.
Shang Zhi knew he had no chance with Bai Jing and didn't even have lustful feelings towards her. He saw her as a painting masterpiece that had sprung to life and just wanted to admire her beauty from the side. Meanwhile Ying Ying, although certainly a top beauty and out of his league, Shang Zhi has never been one to give up on something because of such a minor reason and once he decided on something he would do it till the end.
From the first time he interacted with Bai Jing and then later noticed the glare the pretty Ying Ying directed towards him he felt a faint tingling in his heart. So of course he had to follow his heart and try to grow closer to Ying Ying the only way he knew how, being boisterous and entertaining. Although it has never worked in the past with any girl he fancied he knew that there would be a girl to fall for his hefty charm one day!
Shang Zhi was not putting to much effort into moving Ying Ying's hand only nudging it and finding a good position to gently hold her small, exquisite hand while she was distracted. Shang Zhi had a wide smile on his face showing off his big pearly white teeth.
Ying Ying was to distracted by Bai Jing to notice Shang Zhi's antics but could finally breathe a sigh of relief as she saw Bai Jing fix her skirt. She looked around one more time to make sure no one else saw before removing her hand from Shang Zhi's face.
Upon removing her hand from his face she noticed that the Fatty's hands were attached to hers. They were now holding hands in the middle of their waist in the sky. Shang Zhi was staring blankly at Ying Ying batting his eyes.
After a moment of realization, Ying Ying, flustered, yanked her hands out from Shang Zhi's in embarrassment.
"You darn Fatty!!!" Ying Ying glared at Fatty with her face flushed, rage bubbling within.
Ying Ying didn't know what to say, especially after seeing Shang Zhi who initially looked disappointed when their hands separated, to quickly switching to a coquettish expression, murmuring.
"T-that was the first time I ever held hands with a woman... D-don't worry you don't have to take responsibility, it was just an accident.. However, if you really want to take responsibility I wont mind~"
Afterwards he just looked away from Ying Ying with a heartbroken expression and fell behind, seeing that Bai Jing had practically arrived.
Ying Ying was red with rage but managed to quickly get a hold of herself upon realizing that the way Fatty acted was a little similar to how Bai Jing acted sometimes, and she already figured out the best way to handle Bai Jing.
Ying Ying turned around and sent an expressionless look towards Shang Zhi causing a bit of fear to be born in his heart for an instant.
'Did I go too far?' Fatty wondered, worried.
Turning back around, Ying Ying greeted Bai Jing with her arms crossed, looking a little annoyed from of what happened because of Bai Jing's skirt mishap.
