Chapter 335: Consort Yhu Riding the Black Steed
Qu Feiyan, Lin Pingzhi, Huang Zhonggong, and others were all amazed, shaken and moved.
Ding Ling was also quite satisfied.
With such profound Inner Strength cultivation, combined with the Profound Celestial Finger, a sudden surprise attack could not be resisted by anyone.
Clip-clop, clip-clop!
A series of hoofbeats suddenly sounded at this moment.
Ding Ling and his group turned towards the sound.
They saw someone riding swiftly towards them from the end of the road.
It took only a moment.
Ding Ling saw clearly who it was.
The "Consort Yhu" spoken of by players.
That absolutely beautiful woman who seemed out of place with this era!
He was puzzled as to why this woman gave him such a feeling.
Turns out she wasn’t from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer World!
That made sense now.
But Consort Yhu had already Ascended.
Could Diao Chan and the others be far from Ascension?
Thinking of Diao Chan and the others, Ding Ling couldn’t help but feel a warmth in his heart, with some concern arising.
Clip-clop, clip-clop!
The sound of hoofbeats grew louder.
Soon.
The woman rode up close to them, with a blade in hand, leapt off her horse, her almond eyes like autumn water sweeping over Ding Ling and his group, suddenly asking:
"Did you kill those people from Mount Songh Sect?"
"Yes."
Qu Feiyan glanced at Ding Ling, seeing he seemed deep in thought, she stepped forward, crisply saying:
"Sister, we saw you being chased by those villains, and we had some grievances with them, so we chased and dealt with them."
"Thank you."
The woman was very grateful to Qu Feiyan and her group, saying:
"I just Ascended here not long ago, and encountered Zhang Jingchao and Sha Tianjiang of Mount Songh Sect. They were extremely warm and attentive to me, initially I didn’t understand why, until one day I realized I had been drugged.
When they came towards me with bizarre expressions.
I knew what they intended.
Then, with my Divine Sense still clear, I resisted with full effort, injuring Sha Tianjiang.
Taking advantage of Mount Songh Sect’s unawareness, I summoned the Black Steed.
The Black Steed, capable of Spirit communication, carried me all the way south.
I don’t know the way, utterly lost not knowing east, south, west, or north, and in this world where I am all alone, for a moment, I don’t know where to go."
She paused here, looking at Ding Ling and the others with relief:
"Glad to meet you. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do."
"Sister, you also came from shattering the Void through Ascension?!"
Qu Feiyan was surprised.
"Also?"
The woman caught on to this word, somewhat excitedly saying:
"Besides me, who else have you met from Void Shatterer Ascension?"
"Ah."
Qu Feiyan pointed behind her:
"My Brother Ding is also a Void Shatterer Ascender."
"Brother Ding?"
The woman looked towards Ding Ling, carefully discerning, soon with disappointment:
"He’s not the one I’m looking for. And he doesn’t seem to be from my world either."
Ding Ling had come to his senses some time ago, seeing the woman thus, cleared his throat and asked:
"May I ask, what is your name?"
"My name is Consort Yhu."
The woman hesitated for a moment, yet still said:
"When those from Mount Songh Sect heard my name is Consort Yhu, they all looked rather surprised. Is there something strange about this name?"
"..."
Dan Qingsheng, Qu Feiyan, and others were first stunned, then looked at each other, each wondering:
"Really? Could this Consort Yhu be the Consort Yhu from over a thousand years ago?! If true, that would be truly shocking. Not to mention Mount Songh Sect, even monks from Shaolin Temple wouldn’t remain calm upon seeing her!"
Seeing it was indeed Consort Yhu, Ding Ling knew her image must be widely circulated in the online world, otherwise, some players wouldn’t feel familiar upon seeing her.
Familiarity must come from someone having drawn Consort Yhu’s picture, then unexpectedly seen by them.
With the opening of the six great worlds, more and more ancient beauties are uploaded to the online world, plus there are many streamers, internet celebrities, stars, etc., in this fast-food culture era, people often chase the moment’s hotspot.
Hence, Consort Yhu might explode in popularity for a time, then likely be replaced by other figures.
Some might remember her, but most may only have an impression, considering they’ve never seen her in person, just a picture, how deep can that impression be?
"How did you Ascend?"
Ding Ling asked.
His online-offline transactions are brief, involving matters concerning himself, the Three Kingdoms, and The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, so he hasn’t really paid attention to the events of the Late Qin Dynasty.
"Xiang Yu brought me to ascend together."
Consort Yhu didn’t hide from Ding Ling and others, saying somewhat absent-mindedly:
"Xiang Yu gathered the power of Jiuzhou to help me break through the Super-Elite Realm threshold, then acquiring the Ascension qualification. I followed him to ascend. Before ascending, Xiang Yu gave me the Black Steed, saying if we were separated, the Black Steed could find him, but despite my long search, I haven’t found Xiang Yu."
Her feelings of loss were evident:
"Don’t know where he went? How am I supposed to find him?"
She looked at Ding Ling, eyes full of hope:
"Do you know?"
"..."
Ding Ling was speechless, only thinking:
"Didn’t the Game World say other Ascenders can only bring a weapon, an outfit? How can Consort Yhu ride a Black Steed?!
Could it be that this Black Steed also reached the Super-Elite Realm?!"
Ding Ling gazed at the Black Steed, inspecting it closely.
With this look, he was astonished.
Only because he found this Black Steed’s eyes were bright and full of spirit, lively as if it could speak!
Consort Yhu said it was capable of Spirit communication; she certainly wasn’t lying.
Thinking of this, Ding Ling asked again:
"Only this Black Steed Ascended with you?"
"Yes."
Consort Yhu also presented a perplexed face:
"We each rode an extraordinary horse, but other horses didn’t qualify for the Celestial Ladder, only the Black Steed was an exception."
Upon hearing this.
Ding Ling had a realization, just secretly amazed that a horse actually reached the Super-Elite Realm, wondering how the Overlord Xiang Yu trained it!
"We haven’t seen Xiang Yu. If he’s indeed in this world, perhaps I can inform you of his precise location."
As Ding Ling spoke this, he was thinking he just needed to go online and offline for a moment, search in the online world, and naturally it would be clear.
Unless Xiang Yu is secluded in deep mountains and forests, avoiding human contact.
Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly escape the players’ "eye lock"!
"Really?"
Consort Yhu wiped away her loss and dejection, looking delightedly at Ding Ling:
"If you really can help me find Xiang Yu, he and I will surely repay you."
Ding Ling smiled slightly, noncommittal, only thought: If a reward truly comes, then exchange Martial Arts with them, learning your skills will surely let me advance further by leaps and bounds.
Consort Yhu joined Ding Ling’s party exactly on this day, at this moment.
