The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 776: The Enchanting Huan Ling Ji_1

Li Qing couldn’t make heads or tails of how these two were fighting this battle, so naturally, he had no way to judge who was in the right or wrong.

However, listening to the conversation between Xuan Chen Zhenren and Jing Yan, it seemed that neither Xuan Chen Zhenren nor the gray-robed middle-aged man was intending to continue their brawl with each other, but instead they turned their attention to dealing with each other’s allies.

"Yan’er, are that gray-robed man’s techniques very troublesome?" Li Qing whispered.

With a faint smile on her lips, Jing Yan winked at Li Qing and said, "Indeed, they are somewhat troublesome, but they are not enough to trouble me. Watch as I take down this old sneak."

She suddenly formed hand seals, and muttered something very slowly; then she gently stomped on the ground.

A silver light spread from her position, followed by the ground visibly freezing at a pace visible to the naked eye. The temperature between heaven and earth seemed to drop abruptly, giving the impression of a deep winter, perhaps even colder, penetrating to the bone.

However, it seemed to conspicually avoid Li Qing, leaving the spot where he stood completely unharmed, as if nothing had happened.

All of a sudden, a figure emerged clumsily from the ground, several ice spikes haphazardly piercing his body.

"Damn it, you two versus one, isn’t that bullying?" The gray-robed middle-aged man’s complexion turned purple from the cold, his hair frozen into clumps, and traces of mud could be faintly seen on them.

"Sima the old cur, your men tried to rob the Nascent Soul cave dwelling of Sixth Elder of Nine Truth Palace, acting just like bandits. Where does the notion of bullying you come from!" Xuan Chen Zhenren’s voice echoed from all directions. "You old dog, you really don’t talk reason!"

"What are you hesitating for? Do you want to change your course of action?" The gray-robed middle-aged man shouted sternly at the people of his camp.

Before he could finish speaking, those people had already made their move.

Apart from the two who were still clutching their heads in agony, the rest quickly divided into two groups, attacking Jing Yan and Long Eyebrow Zhenren, while Li Qing was completely ignored by them.

It seemed that in their eyes, Li Qing was not even considered a factor.

This left Li Qing feeling both frustrated and somewhat relieved.

Frustrated because his abilities were insufficient to be of any help. Relieved, thankfully they were not taking him seriously and adding pressure to Jing Yan; otherwise, she would have to be distracted taking care of him.

The battle erupted instantly, three from Li Qing’s side against a large group of opponents.

During the skirmish, Jing Yan’s figure floated up lightly, surrounded by three people attacking her.

However, she didn’t seem overwhelmed by them, and she even maintained her ethereal and celestial demeanor.

Every attack she made was incredibly stable, her movements as graceful as a fairy scattering flowers, elegant and composed.

But elegance did not mean a lack of lethality; in fact, her ability to kill was very powerful.

At the first exchange, she eliminated the weakest person among them.

The battle unfolded so swiftly, and their fight was so dazzling that Li Qing failed to see how Jing Yan did it. In any case, the guy in the black suit had just followed Jing Yan into the air, only to fall straight down to the ground, breaking into a heap of scattered ice.

Dian Chunqiu looked up at the people engaged in the fight, clenching and unclenching his fists, his inner turmoil quite evident.

"Little Li, your wife seems to be very powerful!" The lady in the red dress said teasingly to Li Qing, a playful smile on her face.

Li Qing furrowed his brows slightly. Am I that familiar with you? You address me with a eunuch’s title right off the bat!

"She’s Huan Ling Ji from the headquarters." Dian Chunqiu distractedly introduced her, then addressed Huan Ling Ji, "Don’t joke about Qingzi. Be careful not to displease the Queen Consort of Qi and cause friction between us."

"Director, why be so petty? It was just a little joke," purred Huan Ling Ji with a coquettish laugh.

This woman gave Li Qing a very dangerous feeling.

He couldn’t tell if she was always like this.

She oozed a kind of charm like that of a fox spirit, giving off an extremely spicy vibe, yet behind that heat seemed to lurk endless venom. In short, she was enchanting, yet she had an unapproachable air about her.

"The Queen Consort of Qi might not know that you’re just joking," Dian Chunqiu said in a muted voice. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Huan Ling Ji covered her mouth with a giggle, "Xiao Li, quickly call me sister. If the Queen Consort of Qi doesn’t care for you, sister will!"

Li Qing shuddered quietly, his hair standing on end all over his body.

This lady was a bit terrifying.

He wondered what kind of man could possibly tame such a being.

If Jing Yan was like gentle ice, then this woman was at the opposite extreme, like fierce fire – so cold.

"Don’t mind her. She’s just crazy," Dian Chunqiu glanced at Li Qing and said.

Li Qing gave an awkward laugh, "Sister, I’m just a pawn, don’t take me seriously."

"What are you talking about? In all of this, you play a very important role. How can you be just a pawn?" Huan Ling Ji chuckled lightly, "Come here, let sister hold you, sister will protect you."

A chill crept up in Li Qing’s heart.

He always felt that this woman was like a fierce beast that devoured its prey without spitting out the bones, her beautiful appearance and seductive demeanor all a facade.

Seeing that Li Qing didn’t step forward, but instead took a few steps back, Huan Ling Ji covered her mouth again and laughed heartily, "Relax, sister won’t do anything to you; we’re on the same side, right? Don’t you trust your own people?"

Li Qing really didn’t.

She didn’t look like any sort of good person at first glance.

"Enough, focus on the changes in the battlefield," Dian Chunqiu commanded gravely, "Follow the plan we agreed on beforehand."

"Okay, Director, no need to be so grouchy," Huan Ling Ji eyed Li Qing keenly, giggling as she spoke.

Li Qing subtly shifted to stand on the other side of Dian Chunqiu, blocking Huan Ling Ji’s line of sight.

This lady was somewhat frightening, why was she fixating on him, a nobody? She really seemed nuts.

In the time it took for them to exchange these words, another enemy was slapped to the ground by Jing Yan, turning into chunks of ice.

In just seven or eight minutes, only one opponent remained facing Jing Yan.

That person appeared to be a Nascent Soul as well, managing to still offer some resistance to Jing Yan’s attacks, the fight going back and forth. Their figures were simply too fast, zipping left and right, fighting in midair, making it difficult even for someone at Li Qing’s level to discern their movements clearly.

The situation for Long Eyebrow Zhenren was looking grim, almost being completely overpowered by the two assailants.
