#1076 - Chapter 1076: Blazing Peach
After Cheng Bang left Golden Earth, he headed north to the Scorched Lands.
There was a powerful Nata tribe here, formed by the former Nata leader after his abdication.
The current administrator of the Scorched Lands is called Lord Blazefire.
Lord Blazefire's territory is now quite prosperous, with a population of tens of thousands.
Beside a small river outside the Scorched Lands, a young and beautiful woman was gathering broadleaf plants.
"Miss, may I ask if this is the Scorched Lands?" Cheng Bang stepped forward and asked.
He had now transformed into an old man, so no one would recognize him.
"Grandpa, this is indeed the Scorched Lands," the pretty girl replied.
"Wonderful! This old man has been traveling for months and has finally arrived here!" Cheng Bang exclaimed excitedly.
"Where are you from, Grandpa?" the pretty girl asked.
"I come from Golden Earth," Cheng Bang replied.
"Really? Then you are a distinguished guest. May I ask what brings you here?" the girl asked.
"I'm here to find a girl named Yao Tao," Cheng Bang replied with a meaningful smile.
"Find… find me?" the girl asked, pointing to herself in surprise.
"Really? What a coincidence?" Cheng Bang smiled.
Suddenly, his eyes turned blue. The Mind Control Technique was activated, and Yao Tao's eyes also turned blue.
In just a second, both of their eyes returned to normal.
"Yao Tao, from today onwards, you must obey my orders, understand?" Cheng Bang seemed to be brainwashing her.
"Yes, Master," Yao Tao replied expressionlessly.
"Very good," Cheng Bang said with a sly smile.
…
Several days later, Lord Blazefire's son, Lie Yan, led several warriors out hunting and passed by a stream.
"Help! Someone, please help!"
"Is there anyone there? Help!"
Suddenly, Lie Yan heard a woman's cry for help.
"Did you hear someone calling for help?" Lie Yan asked his entourage.
"Young Master, it sounds like someone is calling for help," one of the attendants replied.
"Go and see," Lie Yan ordered.
"Yes."
So they walked towards the forest.
"Help! Is there anyone there!"
"Please save me, I can't hold on any longer!"
The woman's cries grew louder.
"Young Master, it's over here!" an attendant shouted.
The group followed the direction of the sound.
"Young Master! Please save me!"
After searching for a while, they finally saw the woman in the dense forest.
She was dressed in white, elegant and refined.
She was lying on her side, rubbing her ankle, looking as if she had sprained it.
At this moment, she was frowning, making people feel sorry for her.
This woman was Yao Tao.
However, Yao Tao's skin was no longer the tanned yellow it once was, but very fair and delicate.
To describe it as smooth as jade would not be an exaggeration.
"Hiss ~"
Lie Yan was instantly captivated when he saw her face.
"Young Master~, could you please help this servant up first!" Yao Tao said in a very affected voice.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes," Lie Yan, reminded, immediately wanted to step forward.
"Young Master, let me do it!" an attendant beside him said, stopping him.
"Get lost!" Lie Yan slapped him on the back of the head.
How could he let a servant do such a good thing?
The servant stepped aside, rubbing his head aggrievedly. He was probably still wondering where he had gone wrong.
Weren't these chores usually done by servants?
"Come, miss, slowly!" Lie Yan walked up to Yao Tao and helped her up, drooling over her.
Yao Tao had a mesmerizing fragrance that instantly rushed into Lie Yan's nostrils as he approached.
"Fragrant! So fragrant!"
He had never smelled such a special fragrance on any woman.
"Thank you, Young Master!" Yao Tao smiled charmingly.
"You… you're welcome," Lie Yan replied, stuttering as he stared at her obsessively.
"Young Master, if you look at me like that, I'll be very embarrassed," Yao Tao reminded shyly, covering her face.
"Oh, oh. Sorry!" Lie Yan turned his head away in a fluster.
"Ah!" Yao Tao lost her balance for a moment and fell into Lie Yan's arms.
"Careful!" Lie Yan exclaimed in panic, grabbing her.
At this moment, the two were pressed tightly together.
Their eyes met, and they seemed to feel each other's heartbeat.
"Young Master, you're hurting me," Yao Tao said first after several breaths.
"Oh, sorry," Lie Yan quickly straightened up and helped Yao Tao stand upright.
"Pfft ~" Yao Tao covered her mouth and giggled.
"Young Master, you've said sorry several times in just a moment."
"Hehe, really?" Lie Yan scratched his head.
"Young Master, I've sprained my foot. Can you be kind and take me home?" Yao Tao pouted, looking pitiful.
Probably no man would refuse such a request.
The attendants next to him turned away knowingly, not daring to look any further.
