The Apostle

Chapter 8: Provocation

Chapter 8: Provocation

A few cotton wool clouds floated slowly in the vast and endless sky, gradually coming together to form the image of an enchanting woman with a convex front and a curvy back.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew from afar at an exaggerated speed and dived headfirst into the woman's chest high, and the wind caused by the high-speed flight immediately poured in wildly, cutting the cloud layer in pieces.

"Is this ...... considered a breast attack?" Looking back at the large hole that broke open in the chest of the female shaped cloud layer in the distance behind, Chen Yue suddenly felt a little speechless.

It was already the fifth day since he had left Chia City, and according to the Royalist, he would be able to arrive at the Free Capital by noon today, which raised a few spirits in Chen Yue who had been quite bored for a few days due to being in the air.

It was easy to get bored with the tedious air life. On the back of the flying beast, there was only a dozen square feet of space to move around, and after a long time, one felt that one's bones were itching.

At first, the speed of the flying beast did make Chen Yue feel the same passion as he did in his previous life on Earth, standing thousands of metres up in the air overlooking the earth, easily giving him a feeling of supreme pleasure that everything was under control.

Every half day, Chen Yue asked the imperialist to land and stay in place for an hour. During this time, he persistently exercised the Nourishing Technique, loosening his muscles and bones and keeping his body active.

Even though he had become an Apostle of high status in this world, it might seem as if there was no longer any need to practise the Nourishing Technique, after all, could the body's potential be as great as that of Dou Qi? However, Chen Yue did not think so, on the contrary, he exercised even more diligently than before.

He had a strong premonition that what the Nourishing Technique brought was definitely not that simple.

"My lord, the plain ahead is perfect for stopping, do you need to land and rest for a while?" The imperialist's respectful voice interrupted Chen Yue's thoughts.

"Alright." After estimating the time and that it was time to rest, Chen Yue nodded noncommittally.

The speed of the flying beast slowed down significantly, while the speed kept decreasing, and under the control of the imperialist, a few moments later, the flying beast landed safely on a flat piece of land.

"In an hour, I will return." As usual, Chen Yue instructed.

"Yes." The imperialist maintained a respectful posture in response, waiting for Chen Yue to walk away before moving around, even if for him, the hour was more than just rest time.

Flying in the air was extremely physically demanding, and feeding and cleaning the flying beasts every so often was a basic skill for an imperialist, and even without Chen Yue's orders, he would have asked for regular rest, so Chen Yue's initiative became reasonable in his eyes.

After finding a secluded area, Chen Yue released the frozen rabbit to guard him, then stretched his limbs and struck a pose.

After the first six poses were successfully executed, Chen Yue was already sweating, but his spirit was not half tired. Staying in place for a few moments, Chen Yue hesitated when he was resting in the seventh pose.

The reason for his hesitation was that there had been a bit of an accident while practising the seventh pose.

The first time he noticed it was ten days ago, after that successful summoning of the demon, when he performed the Nourishing Technique exercise again, Chen Yue was shocked to find that his strength was not up to par.

Not to mention the seventh posture, which had just broken through, Chen Yue felt pressure even when practising the sixth posture, as if his body was not his own anymore, with an invisible barrier between them.

Fortunately, there were no surprises in the first five postures, and under Chen Yue's more diligent exercise, this membrane was becoming thinner and softer day by day.

Finally, on the day after leaving Chia City, the diaphragm broke apart and Chen Yue regained the feeling of mastering everything in his body.

It was only when it was lost and regained that he knew how precious it was, so for the past few days, Chen Yue had stayed in the sixth position, not daring to launch an attack easily.

The effect of his hard work was obvious, his body was getting better and better, and the infinite essence seemed to be pervading every muscle and every cell, causing Chen Yue to gradually move his mind to make an impact.

"Fight." Clenching his five fingers one by one, feeling the strength, Chen Yue made up his mind.

With the experience of the breakthrough, it was much easier to do it this time, and to Chen Yue's surprise, it was surprisingly easy to strike the seventh pose.

Was he wrong? His eyebrows furrowed, yet Chen Yue's body naturally held the seventh pose.

The warmth, gushing out from his body, gradually spread to every corner of his body, and everywhere he went he was floating.

Really floating ......

At that moment, Chen Yue suddenly realized the danger, everything in front of him gradually blurred, and then his body swayed, as if he was floating upwards like a rootless duckling.

No, the body didn't move, it still stayed in place.

Up in the air, a cold breeze came from above, making Chen Yue wake up and at the same time, he was appalled to find out such a fact.

He was actually able to see his body, in all directions, even his back, and he, too, was not flying as high as he thought, but only ten centimetres above his head.

It was a very strange feeling, it felt as if the soul had flown out of the body and stayed above it.

Away from the soul?

A thought flashed through Chen Yue's mind at first.

This thought sent shivers down his spine.

The Nourishing Technique was about the body and spirit being as close as one, and in his current condition, there was no doubt that he had gone off on a tangent. Moreover, Chen Yue was certain that it should be related to that summoning of the ambassador, and fortunately, he would reach the Free Capital at noon, and his questions might be answered by then.

But the question now was, how should he go down ......

As if sensing Chen Yue's embarrassment, the alert Frozen Rabbit suddenly opened its own life aura without Chen Yue's command.

The two ice-cold, bone-chilling blue auras kept flashing, but Chen Yue felt a slight warmth reach his soul, and after another blur, Chen Yue returned to his body and regained control of his body.

His body, already covered in cold sweat.

After a simple clean-up, the time had passed an hour and it was time to go back.

With a flick of his left hand, the Frozen Rabbit jumped a few times with great spirit and popped into Chen Yue's arms.

Seemingly satisfied that Chen Yue had not received himself into subspace, the Frozen Rabbit's two eyes narrowed slightly, very pleasant.

"This little fellow is really something else." The higher creatures all possessed extremely high intelligence, like the act of taking the initiative to open the life aura just now, it was the Frozen Rabbit that sensed the danger of its master.

Chen Yue frowned slightly as his fingers, which were stroking the frozen rabbit, suddenly slipped and brushed against the two incomparably cold-looking life auras, but, as usual, his fingers gently crossed as if they had not touched anything at all.

How strange, I clearly felt warmth just now ......

Is it the ability of the aura of life? Shaking his head, Chen Yue shook this thought out of his mind, he knew too little to make an accurate judgment.

By the time Chen Yue returned, he had already turned off the life aura by hand, the two drawn out auras were too dazzling and looked very flashy.

The Imperial had been waiting for a long time, and this time Chen Yue had taken more than an hour, making him think that something had happened, and was anxiously trying to go out to look for it, when, only then, he was relieved.

A few moments later, the two of them climbed to a height of 100 metres in the flying beast. Normally, at this time, due to the strong wind at high altitude, they would have to open their magical shields to protect their seats before continuing to climb, but at this time, Chen Yue was thinking about the life aura and was not prepared for it.

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, the sky suddenly darkened, and looking up in horror, he only saw a huge black shadow sinking down and pressing over.

"Beware ......"

The feeling of panic surged to his heart, and without thinking, with a force under his feet, Chen Yue's whole body lunged forward, and only an ear-splitting c***k could be heard in his ears, that was the sound only made when the air was caught and burst.

A strong whistling sound filled his eardrums, followed only by countless wind forces that pulled and almost lifted the man off the flying beast's broad back.

"Snort." The moment they were about to collide, the black shadows rose sharply and a cold laugh came from the moment they intersected.

It was only by grabbing the flying beast's feathers with his fingers in a death grip that Chen Yue managed to keep his balance. Fortunately, he had not been relaxing the exercise of the Nourishing Technique and his body was filled with strength, otherwise, he would have to be lifted out at the very beginning.

After settling his mind, Chen Yue's gaze was already gloomy.

Without the protective shield on, if he fell from a height of 100 meters at this point, there would only be one downfall ......

The thought of the crisis that had brushed against him gave one the creeps.

"Zhi." The semicircular shield was opened, isolating the heavenly wind from the outside, the biggest crisis lifted, both of them were filled with a sense of gratitude after the robbery, but the flying beast seemed to be frightened, and it took half a day to calm down under the comfort of the imperialist.

It was only at this time that Chen Yue had time to look at the perpetrators.

The flying beast that had attacked them had long since flown away, and only three tiny black dots could be seen.

"Go after them." Chen Yue didn't say much, but the Imperial could clearly feel the uncontrollable anger in Chen Yue's tone.

Fang, just at the moment of the attack, Chen Yue clearly heard a laugh filled with braggadocio and smugness.

Was this ...... considered a provocation?
