Ao Tian naturally noticed the girl's actions and shook his head with a smile, saying nothing more.
Young girls these days, still lacking some experience. Couldn't she see that he was the real boss? Who ever heard of a coachman so handsome and dashing?
And she couldn't even bring herself to kill a few people; she probably hadn't killed anyone before.
Ao Tian couldn't help but compare this girl to Tang San in his mind. Indeed, she's quite a bit behind Tang San.
The girl entered the carriage, but the moment she saw the scene inside, she was stunned.
She was usually cold, composed, and spoke little. Even though she'd just thought Ao Tian was the most handsome man she'd ever seen, she hadn't shown any reaction.
But now, when she saw the girl beside Xiao Wu, she was stunned.
She wasn't one to fawn over people, so handsome men didn't usually elicit much of a reaction from her. However, as a woman, she couldn't help but be struck by Gu Yue Na's beauty.
Is it even possible for a woman to be this stunning?
The girl couldn't help comparing herself to Gu Yue Na. She realized that she was at a disadvantage, whether it was in appearance, figure, or temperament.
If she were comparing herself to Xiao Wu, she would have absolute confidence. After all, Xiao Wu's looks were on par with hers, although her figure left something to be desired.
It's only natural to compare oneself to others, and girls are especially concerned with these superficial aspects.
"I wonder if her cultivation is higher than mine?" the girl couldn't help but think.
Since she couldn't compete in terms of appearance, she turned to cultivation.
Because Gu Yue Na also wanted to enter Shrek Academy, she had made her face look a bit younger, appearing to be around the same age as Xiao Wu. That's why the girl wanted to compare her cultivation to Gu Yue Na's.
They were close in age; surely her cultivation wouldn't be lagging behind, too? This thought flickered through the girl's mind.
Xiao Wu saw the black-clothed girl staring blankly as soon as she entered. "Why are you spacing out? Sit down," she said.
"Mm, thank you," the girl replied and sat down on a sofa to the side.
This luxurious carriage was larger than ordinary carriages from the outside. Inside, the space was even more spacious, like a small room.
Ao Tian was someone who enjoyed life, so he refined the carriage as a treasure.
The space inside the carriage was much larger than the entire outer shell, though most people wouldn't notice.
Upon entering, there were two soft sofas on either side. Further in was a large bed, and a small path at the foot of the bed led to the very back, which was a bathroom.
Xiao Wu and Gu Yue Na couldn't completely refine useless things within their bodies yet, so Ao Tian prepared this bathroom for them.
He even refined the receptacle for waste into a treasure. Inside, there was true fire that could instantly refine waste into nothingness…
The carriage was equipped with a temperature control array, maintaining a comfortable climate year-round.
The carriage could also withstand the full-power attack of a Title Douluo. Without a doubt, this was the most luxurious carriage in the world.
As soon as the girl sat down, she noticed the difference. The carriage interior was much larger than she had imagined, but she couldn't find anything unusual upon closer inspection.
What surprised her was the temperature. Summer hadn't ended yet, and the weather was still scorching. It wasn't even noon, and the outside temperature was already terrifying.
The girl had just been through a chase, and combined with the heat, she was drenched in sweat. But entering the carriage felt like instantly returning to springtime, which was quite strange.
Seeing the girl still in a daze, Xiao Wu couldn't help but want to laugh. She knew the girl was definitely shocked by the carriage's magic. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but proudly raise her chin slightly.
Because she was one of the mistresses of this carriage...
After a long while, the girl in black recovered from her shock. Although she was filled with curiosity, she didn't ask the owner of the carriage her questions, given her personality.
She suddenly stood up and went to Xiao Wu, holding out her palm, which held a Silver Soul Coin.
"Thank you for helping me earlier, and for being willing to give me a ride. This is my payment," she said.
Xiao Wu unceremoniously accepted it, happily putting it into her storage bracelet.
The black-clothed girl's eyes narrowed, focusing on Xiao Wu's wrist. She thought to herself that Xiao Wu's identity was not simple.
Those who possessed a Storage Soul Tool were either rich, noble, or powerful Soul Masters, or backed by a strong force.
The girl's heart settled a bit. The other person had such a luxurious carriage and also possessed a Soul Tool; they shouldn't be after her money.
Xiao Wu boasted, "Sister Na'er, look at me, I'm a good businesswoman, right? I earned a Silver Soul Coin so easily."
Gu Yue Na couldn't help but pinch Xiao Wu's cheek, saying, "Are you that short on money?"
Xiao Wu's face turned red from being pinched. She struggled free from Gu Yue Na's clutches, saying, "I just want to be self-sufficient, you know? I don't want to always rely on others."
"But you're using his carriage to make money. Aren't you just freeloading off him?" Gu Yue Na exposed.
"Aiya, Sister Na'er, you're so mean!" Xiao Wu immediately smacked Gu Yue Na in annoyance.
Gu Yue Na looked at the black-clad girl and smiled, "Sorry, my sister is making you laugh."
The girl quickly shook her head, saying, "It's okay."
Gu Yue Na saw that this girl was obviously introverted and didn't talk much, so she asked, "What's your name?"
The girl hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm Zhu Zhuqing."
Gu Yue Na smiled, "I'm Gu Yue Na, and this is my sister, Xiao Wu. I heard you say you were going to Soto City. We're also going to Soto City. We can take you there."
"Then thank you both." Zhu Zhuqing said.
Xiao Wu, having accepted the money, patted her chest and declared heroically, "No need to be so polite! Helping those in need is just what a righteous person does. Don't worry, with us around, no one will dare to bully you."
"Mm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly.
In her mind, she thought, "You're just a Soul Elder. If you really run into a powerful Soul Master, you're not going to be enough."
Her gaze swept over Xiao Wu and Gu Yue Na. One was pure and adorable, the other ethereal and graceful. She continued to think, "Being with them isn't exactly safe either. Three beautiful girls together... it'll probably attract even more unwanted attention, won't it?"
She had been chased by those four people earlier precisely because of her looks and figure. It was her first taste of the dangers of the world.
"Forget it, I'll stick with them for now. I don't have any better options at the moment," she thought.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, Gu Yue Na had probably figured out Zhu Zhuqing's personality, so she didn't bother her further.
Zhu Zhuqing took off her shoes, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and began to meditate.
"It really is Zhu Zhuqing," Ao Tian said with a faint smile. "Dragon Horse, let's go a little faster. We'll reach the next city before noon and try the local delicacies."
As soon as she heard about food, Xiao Wu couldn't help but start swallowing her saliva.
She had two great hobbies: eating delicious food and sleeping in.
Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes and glanced at the scenery outside the window. She felt the speed of the carriage increase.
Moreover, the carriage's speed was getting faster and faster, causing her rosy lips to gradually open, and her eyes to reveal a look of disbelief.
