Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 366 Presenting An Interspatial Bag As A Gift

The extensive convoy advanced toward its destination systematically. Bai Shixue, the little witch, was full of mischief. One would always be unknowingly tricked by her. Nonetheless, in terms of the large-scale arrangement for the convoy and items allocation, she did much better than Ou Yangming imagined.

Needless to say, she was only able to command the arrogant and rebellious powerhouses from the capital’s aristocratic families with ease by using Ou Yangming’s name. As such, the powerhouses did not cause any trouble too.

Without Ou Yangming’s name, as capable as Bai Shixue was in making arrangements, he could not have made the powerhouses so obedient.

In actuality, His Majesty the Emperor could only forbid the convoy from traveling even if he was present. On the other hand, the people from the different aristocratic families were somehow trying to fawn over the Yi Pavilion’s handler.

As for the reason...

After traveling for half a day, Ou Yangming was invited by Bai Shixue to travel in her carriage.

Upon seeing this, even those who were doubtful in the beginning got rid of their thoughts and became more obedient.

This was because they knew they would be offending Master Ou Yangming if they offended the Yi Pavilion, and the consequences would be unbearable.

Ou Yangming sat upright and still in the carriage without looking around.

Although a publicly acknowledged beauty, who also has the Body of Charm, was sitting opposite him, he was unperturbed like an old monk, who had been cultivating for years.

Bai Shixue supported her chin with her hands and smiled with squinted eyes at him. She did not get a response at all, but she seemed to find it interesting and was enjoying it very much.

At last, Ou Yangming sighed and asked, “Young Pavilion Master, I’ve already come to your carriage like you asked, so what else do you want?”

“It wasn’t my invitation you responded to anyway, so what else can I want?” Bai Shixue seemed indifferent.

Ou Yangming made a snappy remark, “Young Pavilion Master, you’re speaking nonsense again! Weren’t you the one who invited me to your carriage in front of the others?” Bai Shixue stretched her body in front of Ou Yangming without caring about her image, allowing her to flaunt her flawless body through that lazy move. Ou Yangming looked away after he took a glance at her, and he cursed internally.

‘She’s such a little witch! No, she’s a little vixen!’

“Brother Ou, you weren’t moved when I invited you the first time.” Bai Shixue blinked her big eyes and grinned. She gently waved her hand and continued, “You don’t need to explain yourself. I just want to ask if I hadn’t told you that the disciples from the aristocratic families won’t listen to me, which will delay our journey, unless you get in, would you still come?”

Ou Yangming was stunned, and he could not help but look embarrassed. Indeed, he would not have entered Bai Shixue’s carriage if she had not said that.

Nevertheless, the young fellow witnessed a more harmonious situation once he got into her carriage, by which the convoy was moving faster than before. Based on this, it was clear that the young lady was ingenious in certain aspects.

“Young Pavilion Master, how long more before we arrive at Changlong County?” Ou Yangming cleverly changed the topic.

Bai Shixue smiled faintly at him but did not expose him. She answered, “According to our current speed, we’ll arrive at Changlong County after a month and get to the prefecture after another 30 days.”

Ou Yangming calculated in his head and figured that they were not traveling slowly at all.

After all, the convoy did not comprise one person or ten people; it was a huge convoy with over 2,000 people.

Not to mention anything else, the provisions for their journey was quite a concern.

Ou Yangming pondered for some time and reached for an interspatial bag, then he handed it to Bai Shixue. “Young Pavilion Master, I can’t think of a way to repay you for your help this time, so here’s a small gift, and I hope you’ll kindly accept it.”

Bai Shixue’s eyes lit up. She looked at Ou Yangming and commented, “This isn’t a small gift at all!”

An interspatial bag’s value in this world was simply indescribable.

For thousands of years, even in the imperial family, there were less than five interspatial bags in total. Apart from one clan each-one that could communicate with the upper realm and had a secret realm-from the eight counties, the other clans could not acquire an interspatial bag at all even if they emptied their fortunes.

The rarer an item, the more its worth. In this case, an interspatial bag was way more valuable than a magic tool.

Therefore, when Ou Yangming took out the item, Bai Shixue knew she could not resist the temptation.

Despite that, she knew better that if she accepted the gift, her hard-earned, intimate, and special relationship with Ou Yangming would be broken.

Even though the Yi Pavilion did a lot for Ou Yangming, they owed him a huge favor because he helped them rank first at the Myriad Treasure Meet. Now that he was giving the young pavilion master an interspatial bag, the pavilion’s friendship with him would probably wear away in the future. Bai Shixue’s eyes reddened as she stared at the interspatial bag, and tears were beginning to well up in her charming eyes as though they were going to stream down her face anytime.

Ou Yangming gasped and felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. He widened his eyes and said, “Young Pavilion Master, control yourself, control yourself!”

If the other people saw her and associated it with how they were sharing a carriage, Ou Yangming would not be able to redress the wrong no matter what.

Bai Shixue twitched her nose and mustered her courage as she asked, “Brother Ou, do you hate me that much?” “What?” Ou Yangming was startled.

“You can’t wait to disassociate yourself from me, can you?” Bai Shixue pointed at the interspatial bag.

Ou Yangming looked at the bag and could not figure out what exactly the beautiful lady was thinking

‘I only gave her an interspatial bag. Why did she say I’m trying to cut off our relationship?’ Ou Yangming was quite wary of the young pavilion master, but he did not dislike being associated with her.

Besides, Bai Shixue had not caused any fatal disasters for Ou Yangming and had helped him many times. Though he had mistakenly barged into Her Royal Highness’s carriage, he could only blame himself for being careless.

Seeing as Ou Yangming was confused, Bai Shixue gritted her teeth and questioned, “Aren’t you giving me the interspatial bag to repay the Yi Pavilion for the favors and to break off your relationship with us?”

Ou Yangming frowned and asked, “Why would I want to break off my relationship with the Yi Pavilion?”

The Yi Pavilion was a national merchant. As Ou Yangming became more reputable and formidable, they would also be working closer together.

Bai Shixue was dumbfounded. Her expression changed right away, and she asked, “Since you don’t want to, why are you giving me the interspatial bag?” “You helped me arrange the convoy, and I’d like to hurry on with our journey, so I’m giving it to you because it can be used to carry some important resources. It doesn’t mean anything, does it?”

“Doesn’t mean anything?” Bai Shixue was struck dumb, and she had a strange look on her face.

She raised another question after a brief moment, “Brother Ou, you have more than one interspatial bag with you, am I right?”

Ou Yangming answered after some thought, “That’s right.”

The fact that he refined interspatial bags for the imperial family was not exactly a secret, but there were definitely less than ten people who were aware of it. As well-informed as the Yi Pavilion was, they were not qualified to be informed about the matter.

“I understand; I guess I was thinking too much.” Bai Shixue blinked and reached out to snatch the interspatial bag from Ou Yangming, then she hugged it tightly. Her eyes were smiling, and she no longer looked sorrowful. Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and was about to speak.

“Mine,” Bai Shixue shouted all of a sudden.

“What?”

“Mine! This is mine, so you can’t take it back!”

Ou Yangming did not know to laugh or to cry. He responded helplessly, “Okay, it’s yours.” Bai Shixue channeled her essential Qi into the bag and instantly sensed the unique space inside.

The space could not store too many things as it was only 1 cubic meter big, but the small space was incredibly meaningful for a big merchant like the Yi Pavilion. In particular, if they needed to transport small yet valuable items, the bag’s role would be unmatched.

Ou Yangming shook his head. He knew the interspatial bag was unusually precious and could not be compared with ordinary treasures at all.

On a certain level, it was also much more precious than magic tools.

That said, as long as Ou Yangming had sufficient materials, he could refine more interspatial bags at any time.

The materials were hard to find, but what was the Yi Pavilion? Before Ou Yangming offered the interspatial bag, he had determined that he would surely benefit from the deal.

Seeing how Bai Shixue was so excited and overjoyed, the young fellow was somewhat delighted too.

At the spur of the moment, Ou Yangming’s ears twitched. His smile vanished as he opened the curtain.

Wu Haohan spurred his horse and approached the carriage from behind, then he announced loudly, “Consort, Her Royal Highness is asking for you.”

Bai Shixue pouted her lips. She looked away on purpose to avoid looking at Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming smiled embarrassedly. Just as he was going to respond, Wu Haohan added, “Consort, we received news about an urgent military station in Changlong County!”

“Okay, I’ll go over now!” Ou Yangming’s face changed, and he replied to Bai Haohan without any hesitation. He nodded at Bai Shixue and left the carriage.

Many people were paying attention outside the carriage. They dared not say anything after seeing what happened, but they were dying of curiosity.
