The Geared Immortal 450 Like two peas in a pod

/*unedited*/

The atmosphere was silent as a tall lady stood against the backdrop of the green and luscious forest. In front of her is a figure that she could say to be an exact copy of her appearance.

Everyone around the two had a look of surprise and askance while watching the scene happening in front of them.

They could not believe that such a thing is happening right now and everyone is thinking that everything is a work of sorcery or an array. However, though their clothing differs, the beautiful and dazzling appearance of the young woman and their queen is really alike in every way.

"Who… who are you?" Qin Lou asked as she slowly removes the veil covering her face and her peerless beauty was shown to everyone.

The meeting happened abruptly at that time.

When Ju-long Jiao ran out of the safe zone, Mary Anderson followed behind him. The others wanted to stop them but were unable to.

"Queen Lou, it's a pleasure to see you again," Mary said with a curtsy.

"Ah… princess! I'm happy that you have taken care of my darling son." Qin Lou said as she walked towards Mary and held her hand.

"That was not a problem, plus he was always with Brother Shin, so everything was fine," Mary said.

Then the rest of the people from the earth walked out of the safe zone to great the Qin Lou and her entourage. As the two forces met they both showed respect and bowed to each other. When the cultivators saw that all of the people are mortals, they showed a slight discomfort in their hearts but didn't dare show them.

They all knew that cultivators are not the only powerhouse in the continent anymore. There are those mages who can summon and wield great power that can rival them. And then the deadly machines that mortals created which can also rival them as cultivators.

And so the attitude of the people was controlled except for some who is showing some contempt in their eyes. These are people members of the royal family who came with the queen on this trip. They look at both lower-class cultivators and mortals with the same disdainful eyes as they view the rest of the world.

But when a woman walked out of that invisible barrier, everyone was stunned.

Qin Lou could not help herself to ask this question though she is already aware that there is such a person according to Mary.

But still, she was truly fascinated by the woman who looks exactly like her. Then she suddenly thought that the reason why Shin Jiao didn't come back is maybe because of this woman. Her mind became a bit gloomy and a bit in discord as her heartfelt uncomfortable.

"I'm Susan Tang, and you must be Qin Lou… little Ju-long's mother." Susan said with a gentle smile.

She has prepared herself to see the woman, but she did not expect that both of their appearances are truly alike, even the shape and height of their bodies are the same. And as the two talked they also noticed the similarity of their voices.

Qin Lou walked towards Susan Tang and carefully touches her face. She is doing this unconsciously as if she was in a trance.

"Oh… I'm… I'm sorry… I… I never would have thought that… that we would…"

"Really look alike…" Susan finished her words.

The two women giggled which took the people around them in a trance. Susan Tang is already very attractive and would almost always get the attention of the people around her. And now there are two of them, so the people from the earth and Gaeus Ro were all fascinated at this occurrence.

"Sigh…" Qin Lou heaves a deep sight as she tried to control her emotion and look around.

Sensing of what she was thinking, Susan Tang, smiled and said.

"He… He is not here at the moment."

"He went to investigate the disturbance a few days ago, in that direction." Susan Tang said while pointing at the direction of the battle between the four powerful beasts.

"You mean… the huge battle between 5th level beasts… We actually came here to investigate that… we thought that there is going to be trouble and another beast wave is about to happen." She said with worry in her eyes.

"Don't worry, he is fine… his life signal is still present." Susan Tang said sensing the worry in Qin Lou's eyes.

She didn't know why but she felt a bit close to the woman even though she knew that the woman is someone with a past with Shin Jiao. She lifted her hand and showed the bracelet which has the bead with Shin Jiao's life signal mark in it.

"My queen, we have to move now… the prince has told us to meet at the palace before the start of the conference." A man who looks like a noble said while approaching the two women.

With that reminder, a conflicted look on Qin Lou appears. She didn't want to just leave like this. So she decided to invite the group to go with them.

"I wanted you all to come with us to the kingdom of Yi, as this place is not safe and not comfortable for the women in your group. Please..." Qin Lou said with a smile.

Upon seeing the reluctance in the group from the earth's eyes, she showed a gentle smile.

"I will make sure that Shin would know where you are, and once he gets here he would immediately go to where you are." She said with assurance.

The people are still reluctant to follow hence Mary steps forward.

"Yes, I trust Queen Lou… Brother Shin will know where we are… In fact, he is very familiar with this place, and you all knew that." Mary said trying to convince them.

Everyone nodded their head. This is especially true to women. They are all dying for a bath after spending more than a week in this place.

As the group agrees, they all followed the entourage they began walking with them for a day. The group had encountered a lot of beasts while traveling and each has shown their own ability and skill. Through training, the mutants have already improved their powers along with the mages. Hence they didn't fall short in fighting along with the cultivators.

But what made everyone astounded is a particular woman with the greatest ability to heal others. Her way of healing is too bizarre that they knew that if she is with them no matter how grave their wound will be they are sure to survive.

It was Owl.

Owl became famous amongst the group as she would give those wounded her healing fruit. And as he level grows so is the strength of her fruit. Even Qin Lou was amazed to see the properties of the fruit. As an alchemist, she is well-known for her skills and refining ability in creating pills and potions. But the fruit is truly something amazing and bizarre. Plus Owl seems to now have an unlimited amount of them.

As her powers grow so is the amount of healing fruits she can make. Hence she became an indispensable and fairly famous person in their travel. Everyone seems to be fawning her which made Captain James frown all the time.

He barely has time to be with her, so he felt discontent and a bit jealous.

Owl would always pacify the grumpy man which would make the rest cringe in their public display of affection.

As people who grew in the US, they are not shy in showing their feelings unlike those from the east or people in the cultivation land. Hence the two would always attract attention. But this didn't prevent others to fawn over Owl, as she might hold their lives on the line in an emergency situation.

This travel has also improved Susan Tang and Qin Lou's relation as the two would be found often talking to each other.

Five days later, they reached a secluded cave, and inside found a teleportation portal protected by a number of soldiers.

Upon seeing the group the soldiers greeted them especially the Queen.

After the check, they all used the teleportation portal and went directly towards the kingdom of Yi.

…

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao at this moment has already left the small village and began walking towards the forest. But before he can walk he suddenly felt a dangerous feeling and immediately dashed to the side.

Peng!

A sound of ricochet echoed through the forest and Shin Jiao saw a bullet filled with Qi lodge to the ground.

"Ambush!" he thought, but he was a bit confused as to the reason why?

He began scanning his surroundings and found that there are about a hundred figures approaching the village. He didn't know why but from the looks of it, these figures are not from any other villages.

From the way their bodies are covered with rough beast skin and their crudely made weapons, he can figure that these people might be bandits or vagabonds who wanted to attack Biikli village.

When Shin Jiao saw this a sneer appears in his face. Although the people in these parts have weapons, those weapons are not that advance, he already saw it in the village and now in the bandits.

"I guess Shin city is controlling the production of advance weaponry." He thought.

He carefully stood up and suddenly activated the stealth function of his suit. He didn't want to show off his strength, but he would just take care of these bandits in the shadows. He would just let the village take care of the rest. With that in mind, he began to make his move.
