Chapter 59: Moonwatching City
Leng Ruo Xue saw Yu Lin and Tao Tao crying and couldn't help but laugh, eh! They only suffered some minor injuries, why are they crying like this? You know, her Beast's moves were all very measured, that's why she could relax and watch the commotion on the side!
"Master, here. Lan Meng gritted his teeth and walked reluctantly to Yu Lin's side, handing over two pellets of medicine."
"You heartless bad apprentice!" Yu Lin took the medicine, ate one himself and fed one to Tao Tao, then scolded Lan Meng in a huff.
"Scolding people with full energy, it seems like nothing's wrong." Leng Ruoxue and Yao Jie also walked over, chiming in to tease.
"What's wrong? Who said I'm fine, my butt still hurts now!" Yu Lin glared at Leng Ruo Xue with some annoyance, humph... it was all because of her rascal beast's good deed!
"Is that so? Da Mao, Er Mao, you two hit his butt and now it hurts, you have to take responsibility for treating him!" Leng Ruo Xue ordered the two Maos directly.
"Uh-huh, miss, we'll definitely take responsibility!" Da Mao guaranteed, a rather sly smile spreading across his fluffy face!
"Xiao Yu Lin, don't be afraid, we won't abandon you." Er Mao said, and then directly carried Yu Lin on his back like a sack of rice, with one huge bear palm perfectly supporting Yu Lin's buttocks, causing him extreme mental pressure!
"You rascal bear, put me down quickly!" Yu Lin shouted with a tone of wanting to cry but having no tears. This bear is really getting on his nerves! Does it want to take advantage of him again?
"Xiao Yu Lin, aren't you tired? I just wanted to carry you and walk with good intentions, how could you yell at me? I'm so heartbroken." Er Mao said with a wronged tone, his bright black eyes still flashing with tears.
"Damn it, this isn't a hug, it's a shoulder carry!" Yu Lin was being carried on Er Mao's shoulders, head down, so all the blood in his body rushed to his head, making him dizzy.
"Oh, I guess that's a hug then!" Er Mao knew he was wrong and corrected himself. After hearing Yu Lin's words, he immediately hugged Yu Lin in his arms, with one of his paws properly placed on Yu Lin's butt!
Uh! Yulin was speechless, he found out that he and this rogue bear were not on the same channel, because they couldn't communicate at all. Thinking of this, he simply shut his mouth!
"Haha!" Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao couldn't help but burst out laughing at Yu Lin's expression.
Tao Tao and Lan Meng didn't dare laugh at all. They suppressed their laughter, their faces flushed red, and looked at Yu Lin with a hint of sympathy in their eyes...
"Miss, shall we go back?" Er Mao asked, holding Yu Lin in his arms.
"Alright, let's go back!" said Leng Ruoxue, and she directly sat on the back of Xiao Kongque. The others also followed suit and sat down one after another.
"Er Mao, I couldn't carry you in your true form!" Little Peacock said with a light smile, glancing at the Yu Lin in Er Mao's arms.
"It doesn't matter, you fly yours, I'll walk mine." Er Mao furrowed his brow in distress, thinking for a moment before glancing at the small jade pendant on his chest. Sighing, he finally made up his mind.
"You scoundrel bear, put me down quickly!" Yu Lin shouted relentlessly, but unfortunately, his words were directly ignored by Er Mao.
"Miss, you go back first, I'll accompany Er Mao together." Da Mao scratched his big head and said foolishly.
"Hmm, alright then, Little Peacock, let's go!" Leng Ruoxue commanded after a brief moment of hesitation.
"Yes, Master!" The little peacock ignored Yu Lin's pleading gaze and flapped its wings to leave after hearing Leng Ruo Xue's words, while Yu Lin's cries for help came from behind them...
"Don't leave me behind, waaah..."
"Huh? Xiaoxue, I hope nothing's happened to Master?" Blue Ming said with some concern as he sat on the back of Little Peacock.
"It won't be a big deal, he's just a man, what can happen to him? Two hairs are also male, don't worry!" Leng Ruoxue comforted, completely without sympathy.
"Huh!" Hearing Leng Ruo Xue's words, Lan Ming became even more worried and thought to himself, Who says men won't get into trouble? If a man gets into trouble, it's even more pitiful!
"Xiao Lanlan, stop daydreaming, two hairs don't dare to be interested in men!" Lazy said calmly from within Ruo Xue's arms.
"I didn't think of anything." Lan Meng hurriedly denied, thinking to herself, how can Xiao Xue's beast be so clever!
"Little Blue, your thoughts are written all over your face, and even Beast can see through it. Don't try to deny it." Cold Snow said, exposing Blue Ming's true intentions.
"Ah!" Blue Ming's forehead dripped with two drops of cold sweat, and he couldn't help but wonder if his performance was that obvious.
"Alas! I'm also worried about Master!" Taotao, who was hiding in the embrace of Blue Ming, also spoke out cautiously.
"Mind your own business, you dead monkey! That man doesn't need you to worry about him!" Baby said with a bad tone.
"How can you be so heartless... Waaah..." Tao Tao said with a quivering voice, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Cut, even if you pity me, I won't pity you!" The baby said disdainfully, humph! It's just a small-minded and vengeful fox that still hasn't forgotten the humiliation it suffered at the hands of this dead monkey, so the grudge between them is set in stone and will never change because of gender!
"..." Tiantian heard Baby's words and hid in Lanyu's arms, sobbing softly.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent...
"Master Lao Da, we've arrived." A moment later, the small peacock suddenly spoke up and landed at the entrance of the Xiangyang Building.
"Hmm." After Leng Ruoxue and the others jumped down from Xiao Kongque's back, Xiao Kongque also followed them in disguise, entering the guest shop.
Leng Ruo Xue and others returned to the guest house and went straight to the living room.
"Miss, where are you going?" Zheng En, who was in the living room, saw Leng Ruo Xue and others, and asked hastily.
"He Yu and Lin went out to look at houses." Leng Ruo Xue said softly, but in her heart she couldn't help thinking, hmm! I wonder how Lin is doing now?
"What's the point of looking at houses? Aren't we leaving tomorrow?" Zheng En asked in puzzlement.
"Haha, is Old Yu going to give you a house?" The old man sitting next to Zheng En laughed and said, "Hmph, that old thing Yu Lin is quite quick on the draw! Unfortunately, his plans are doomed to fail! This girl isn't someone who can be easily manipulated."
"Yes, he even made me the elder of the Xuan Shi Association, just a nominal position, with the same monthly treatment as other elders, and I don't have to do anything!" Leng Ruoxue said calmly, her expression unreadable.
"Huh! Miss, there's actually such a good thing!" Zheng En said with some incredulity, and at the same time, he was also somewhat puzzled as to what Yulin really wanted to do.
"Hmm." Leng Ruoxue nodded slightly.
"Ah, Ah Dou, has Yu Lin's master arrived yet?" The old man looked at the golden silk monkey in Lan Meng's arms with a frightened expression and asked curiously. How did this monkey end up with the young master of the Lan family? Isn't this the favorite of that old thing Yu Lin?!
"No, hehe, we're back!" The old man's voice had just fallen when Er Mao's loud voice rang out in the living room.
The old man looked at Yulin, who was being carried in by Er Mao, and was stunned. His face was full of question marks. What's going on here? And this carrying posture is a bit too much!
"Heh heh, Er Mao, you guys came back pretty quickly!" Bao Bei said, jumping in front of Er Mao.
"Uh-huh." Er Mao nodded stupidly, then deliberately found a spacious place to stand, and the jade pendant in his arms still couldn't bear to put it down.
"Hey... Er Mao, aren't you tired of holding him?" The old man came back to his senses and looked at Yu Lin's gloomy face, couldn't help but ask. Hmm, he still didn't understand what was going on!
"It's not heavy, it's very light," said Er Mao, with a vigilant expression on his face as he stared at the old man, as if the old man was going to snatch someone away from him.
"Oh! Then hold on!" The old man's forehead involuntarily dripped with two drops of cold sweat, thinking to himself, what kind of expression is Er Mao making?!
"Miss, what's going on here?" Zheng En looked at the extremely strange scene and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Hey, Zheng En, I'm here to tell you!" The baby ran in front of Zheng En again, said with a treasured expression, then recounted the whole story to the unsuspecting Zheng En and the old man!
After hearing the baby's words, Zheng En and the old man looked at Yu Lin with utmost sympathy, not knowing what to say! Alas! The grandmaster of the Mystic Association, how could he encounter such a miserable thing?!
"What are you staring at me for?" Yu Lin, who was already very depressed, couldn't help but shout angrily at the gaze of Zheng En and the old man.
Nothing, I just wanted to ask you if your butt still hurts, I have some ointment here. The old man chuckled and said with a very pleased expression on his face, haha, seeing Yu Lin like this, the depression he felt from Wu Tong was also alleviated!
"Thank you, it doesn't hurt anymore." Yu Lin said with a somewhat dejected tone. However, the truth was that his butt had stopped hurting long ago, but the big bear palm remained on his buttocks, putting him under immense pressure!
"Miss, he said it doesn't hurt anymore, we've cured him." Er Mao said excitedly, a smile hanging on his fluffy face.
"Uh, you guys continue to communicate and get along well, I'll go back to my room to rest for a while." Leng Ruo Xue smiled and nodded, saying this to the people present, then put the beasts into her sleeve, and left the living room with Yao Jiao.
Leng Ruo Xue returned to her room and directly brought the demon into the ring.
"Xue Er, you're back." Wu Zheng was sitting on a stone chair in front of the purple bamboo house, drinking tea and smiling warmly at the two of them.
"Hmm." Leng Ruoxue nodded and pulled Yao Jiao down to sit beside her.
"Xue Er, where are we going tomorrow?" he asked with some curiosity, although they had decided to leave tomorrow, but he still didn't know where they were going.
"Tomorrow, let's first return to Wanshan City, and then we'll go to the Haotian Continent for training." Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment, actually, she didn't have a clear idea of where to go now, um! Wherever they went would be fine, after all, it was all the same when it came to training!
"What do you plan to do with Cheng Wu and others?" asked Wu Xun.
"Hmm! They should stay in Wanshan City, if they want to stay in Xianyao City it's also fine, didn't Yulin give us a house? It's big enough for them to live in!" said Leng Ruxue.
"What I mean is, they might want to follow you." Yuki didn't understand what he meant, so she had to spell it out.
"I'm supposed to go through trials, but with them following me, I don't have to lift a finger. What's the point of trials then?" Leng Ruoxue said somewhat helplessly. In fact, she had considered this issue before and thought that Cheng Wu and others might ask to follow her, but she hadn't planned on bringing them along for her trials.
"Actually, I think it's not bad to bring them along, but if we do, it won't be very convenient for us to enter the space." Wu Xiang thought for a moment and said that bringing those people on the road would be much safer, but it was also possible that the effect of the experience would be greatly reduced, just like Xue Er had said.
"Let's get on with it!" Leng Ruoxue said somewhat helplessly.
"Alright, Xue Er, get some rest early today! We still have a long way to go tomorrow!" Wu reminded.
"Alright, let's go rest first." Leng Ruoxue said, then stood up and pulled the demon with her back to the Purple Bamboo House.
The day after tomorrow.
Carefree City Gate.
"Xiao Xue Xue, where are you all going?" Lan Meng asked with a reluctant gaze at Leng Ruo Xue and the others.
"We'll head back to Wanshan City first, and then we'll go into training." Leng Ruo Xue explained.
"Oh." Lan Meng responded with a somewhat depressed tone, and then fell silent.
"Xiao Lanlan, what's wrong with you? It's not like we won't see each other again in the future." Ice Qi said, lying in Leng Ruoxue's arms, somewhat unable to bear it.
"I don't have it!" Lan Meng hurriedly denied, his handsome face slightly flushed.
"Little Blue, we'll meet again!" Cold Snow said calmly. Alas! Seeing Blue Ming's appearance, she really didn't know what to say anymore.
"Uh, when I have time, I'll go find you guys." Lan Meng thought for a moment before speaking up. He also needed to temper himself, but now his master was being stubborn and wouldn't let him leave, sigh!
She nodded slightly, and then fell silent, lest she add to her sorrow!
"Hey, Xiaoyu Lin, don't think about us!" After a moment of silence, Er Mao's loud voice suddenly rang out and entered everyone's ears, breaking the stillness!
"I'd never think of you guys!" Yu Lin gritted his teeth and said, w... He's so embarrassed now that he doesn't even dare to show his face, because yesterday when Er Mao carried him back, many people saw it, and now everyone is looking at him with that strange gaze, making him feel uncomfortable all over!
"But we'll miss you, especially that elastic little butt of yours!" Er Mao said with a lewd smile.
"Damn it, don't even think about spanking me!" Yu Lin said viciously.
"I just hit him with a howl, you come and bite me!" Er Mao provoked, and winked at Yu Lin.
"You... " Yu Lin took a deep breath, calmed down and decided not to bother with those two hooligan bears. Alas! Who let them be from different channels? No way to communicate!
The people present couldn't help but turn their heads and smile secretly after hearing the conversation between them, of course, all for giving Yulin some face!
"Little girl, it's getting late, you all hurry up and leave!" Yu Lin was somewhat annoyed and started chasing people away! He temporarily didn't want to see these people, uh... because that would remind him of yesterday's sad affair!
"It's still early, no rush!" said Leng Ruo Xue with a sly smile and pretended to be foolish.
"It's getting late, let's hurry up and go, otherwise you'll have to spend the night outdoors." Yu Lin urged.
"Alas! It seems we are unwelcome people, in that case, let's set off!" Cold Snow sighed and said to the crowd with a hint of grievance.
"Miss, let's go!" Er Mao said, and then he and Da Mao transformed into small bears and jumped onto the back of Xiao Kong Que. The two Maos looked back at Yu Lin with reluctance...
"Alright, let's go!" said Leng Ruoxue, and she also sat on Xiao Kongque's back.
"Master Lao Da, let's set off." Little Peacock said to Cold Ruo Xue as he saw everyone had already boarded.
"Hmm." Cold as snow nodded in response.
The little peacock gently flapped its wings, slowly flew into the sky, until it became a small black dot, disappearing from the sight of Lan Meng and Yu Lin...
"Xiao Yu Lin, we will come back to find you! Don't forget us!"
Lan Meng and Yu Lin were just about to turn around and head back when, suddenly, Er Mao's loud voice came from the sky, scaring Yu Lin so much that he fell directly to the ground...
"Master, are you okay?!" Lan Meng hastily went forward to support the master and couldn't help but think to himself, Alas! The power of those two devils is really too great. It seems they have already caused serious psychological trauma to the master. Poor master!
"It's all right, Xiao Ming. Let's hurry back to the Xuan Shi General Assembly. By the way, when we get back, you quickly issue a notice that this city prohibits any species of bears from entering! People inside Xian Yao City are also not allowed to discuss anything related to bears, and they're not even allowed to mention the word 'bear'! Otherwise, anyone who does will be expelled from the city!" Yu Lin ordered directly. He really didn't want to see or hear anything about bears again!
"Master, isn't this a bit too much? What about Da Mao and Er Mao? They belong to Xiao Xue, if she finds out you won't let them enter the city, she'll definitely get angry!" Lan Ming said with a troubled face. Alas! Master's order is truly too difficult to follow, considering many cultivators use bears as their contract beasts.
"What I meant by not letting bears enter the city is that they are not allowed to roam outside, and those with owners must stay in the spiritual beast space." Yu Lin explained, uh! He just didn't want to see bears, didn't want to hear bears, it wasn't that he didn't allow bears with owners to enter the city.
"Oh, I see." Lan Meng replied, and the two master and apprentice returned to Xianyao City together.
Since then, a ridiculous order has been added to the carefree city, and every time people who know the truth think of the origin of this order, they can't help but burst out laughing...
Half a month later, in the evening.
Leng Ruo Xue and others returned to Wanshan City.
"Miss, you're back." The butler who was sweeping the courtyard in the backyard where Leng Ruoxue lived, saw the small peacock landing in the yard and immediately exclaimed with joy. It had been almost two months since Miss and others left, and finally they were back. If they hadn't returned, he would have gone to Xiangyang City to look for them!
"Ah, great steward, you've worked hard!" Leng Ruoxue said, looking at Wang Long who was helping them clean up the courtyard, as she jumped down from Xiao Kongque's back.
"It wasn't easy, miss, you've finally come back, I was worried to death about you!" The butler said with an excited face, tears welling up in his eyes and on the verge of bursting out!
"Wang Long! Brother, I just found out today that you're so sentimental!" Cheng Wu couldn't help but tease, looking at the expression of the big housekeeper while still sitting on Xiao Kongque's back.
The butler's face turned bright red from Cheng Wu's words, and he remained silent for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence. He could only glare at Cheng Wu and the others with an evil gaze... In fact, he was jealous of them - why did they get to follow Miss around while he had to stay behind and watch the house? It just wasn't fair!
"Alright, stop teasing him, let's all get some rest early today! Tomorrow I have something to tell you guys." Leng Ruoxue kindly helped Wang Long out of the awkward situation and said to everyone.
"Yes." Cheng Wu and the others hastily replied, each jumping down from Xiao Kong Que's back. However, after they came down, they all looked at Leng Ruo Xue with some unease and anticipation on their faces.
"Miss, what's going on? Tell us now, or I won't be able to sleep." Seeing that no one dared to speak up, Song Di plucked up the courage to ask. The miss's words made them feel very uneasy!
"You'll all know tomorrow, go rest now!" Leng Ruoxue said somewhat helplessly, sighing that these people had become impatient.
"Miss, I don't need a rest, you tell me first!" The steward said cautiously.
"But I need to rest, I've flown for so long and I'm exhausted. You all take care of yourselves!" Leng Ruoxue said calmly, then directly pulled the demon back to her own room.
In the room.
The demon gently wrapped his arms around Leng Ruo Xue's slender waist, holding her in his embrace, and softly said: "Xue Er, you're so naughty, intentionally teasing them."
"No way, I'm really tired!" said Leng Ruo Xue with an innocent face.
"En, Xue'er, let's get some rest early!" The demon hastily said, as the light bulbs around him grew more numerous, and his time alone with Xue'er dwindled!
"Heh heh, you little scamp, come and let me bully you for a bit!" Leng Ruoxue said with a sly smile. Alas, there had been too many things happening recently, she hadn't even had time to bully the little scamp.
"Xuě ér, nǐ yào wēn róu diǎn o!" The demon was very cooperative and lay directly on the bed, looking at Leng Ruoxue with an expectant face.
"Ah, don't worry, I'll be gentle." Leng Ruo Xue said, her delicate and boneless jade-like hand then touched the chest of the demon... Hehe, the feeling is really not bad!
"Xuě er, are you only using touch?" The demon who was touched all over and felt like his whole body was on fire said with great dissatisfaction.
"Or else!" Cold as snow, she pretended to be silly, hehe, the demon's current appearance is so cute! And, especially makes her want to bully!
"Xu?r, this won't do, at least..." The demon said, then directly pulled down Lěng Ruò Xu?'s head and kissed those tempting pink lips...
"Hmm... you rogue, I'm almost out of breath." After kissing for who-knows-how-long, Leng Ruoxue finally found a gap and couldn't help but whisper.
"It's okay, I'm here, I'll give you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation." The demon carefully savored the sweet fragrance in Xue Er's mouth, saying, "Mmm, delicious, he hasn't eaten for a long time... He wants to eat his fill today!"
"You beast, I'm angry!" After a while, Leng Ruoxue gently pushed away the demon who was tightly hugging her, with an expression of discontent on her stunning face.
"Huh? Then what are you going to do?" The little demon's heart was pounding non-stop, and in his bright black eyes, he asked with confusion.
"I want to take control!" Leng Ruoxue said, and then pounced on the demon's body, fiercely kissing his lips...
"Xue Er, I like it when you take the initiative..." The demon said with great satisfaction, then deepened the kiss and actively opened his mouth to welcome Xue Er's tongue, their lips and tongues entwined, mutually wetting each other...
After a long time, the two reluctantly ended this sweet long kiss and fell asleep in each other's arms...
The next morning.
Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao left the room, Cheng Wu and others were already waiting for them in the hall, and each person's face had two black eye circles, it was clear that no one slept well.
"Huh? Just one night and there are so many pandas already?" Leng Ruo Xue looked at the crowd, unable to resist teasing.
"Didn't sleep well yesterday." Cheng Wu said with some embarrassment, they all had insomnia last night, alas!
"Oh, then why don't you go to sleep now!" suggested Leng Ruoxue with great kindness.
"No, no need, we're not in a hurry, miss, what's your business, tell us quickly!" Cheng Wu said somewhat urgently.
"No rush, looking at your haggard appearance, how can I bear to say it! Alas!" Leng Ruoxue let out a deep sigh.
"Miss, we're all men here, one sleepless night won't matter. What do you have to say? Just tell us quickly, otherwise, we'll continue to lose sleep!" Song Di also anxiously spoke up.
"Alright then!" Cold as snow, Mei's beautiful eyes scanned the crowd in the hall, and then she calmly said: "I plan to leave Wanshan City."
"What? Miss, you're leaving!" The steward stood up excitedly, disbelieving, although the miss had said before that she wouldn't stay in Wanshan City for long, but he hadn't expected her to leave so soon. Alas... if the miss left, what would they do?
"Miss, don't you want us anymore?" Cheng Wu cried with a sad face, pitifully looking at Leng Ruo Xue, his appearance was like that of an abandoned little dog.
"Miss, how can you abandon us?" Song Di tearfully accused, looking at Leng Ruo Xue with a resentful face.
"Miss, we are all yours, you can't abandon us!" The second housekeeper also cried and said that the miserable appearance was like Leng Ruo Xue was a heartless scoundrel who abandoned his loved ones.
Her face as cold as snow, several black lines slid down her forehead. She looked at the men in front of her who were crying and wailing, speechless. Alas! Do they have to be so ambiguous? People who don't know the truth might think she really did something wrong to them!
"Alas! Don't be like this, you're not kids anymore. Can't you live well without me? Moreover, the Wan Shan City is now in your hands, it won't be like before. You will all live a good life from now on." Lan Ruo Xue sighed and said.
"That's different, we used to have no one in charge, but now we're already accustomed to listening to your orders and acting accordingly. If you leave, no matter who becomes the boss of Wanshan City, I, Song Di, will be the first to disobey!" Song Di said with a very firm determination, he would not obey anyone except for Miss.
"I don't agree either!" Cheng Wu echoed.
"I don't believe it either!" The steward also spoke up.
"We won't obey!" The crowd shouted in unison.
"Don't be like this, I've said it long ago, Wanshan City has nothing to do with me, have you forgotten?" Leng Ruxue reminded, although the steward and Chengwu had been trying to bully her, but when they eliminated the five major forces back then, she had already said that from now on, Wanshan City would be managed by them, and she wouldn't interfere.
"Woe... Miss, you can't abandon us, without you, we won't be able to survive." The butler cried out.
"Is it that serious?" Leng Ruoxue was speechless, sighing. Must you be so exaggerated?!
"Yes!" The butler hastily replied.
"Absolutely!" Cheng Wu also agreed strongly!
"You guys... I left Wanshan City to gain experience, and I didn't say I wouldn't come back." Leng Ruo Xue had no choice but to stall for time, although she wasn't certain if she would return in the future. However, looking at the current situation, she couldn't not say this, and after being with these people for so long, she did have some feelings for them. Therefore, she also didn't want her departure to cause them too much heartache.
"Experience?"
"Will you come back?"
Everyone was stunned, had they misunderstood Miss's meaning?
"Miss, where are you going for your training?" Cheng Wu asked cautiously.
"Not sure yet, let's just go with the flow!" said Leng Ruoxue. The Great Continent of Haotian was vast and had many places suitable for training, but they estimated that they would choose a place with relatively little danger after all, the strength of her brother and others wasn't very high!
"Miss, let me go with you!" Cheng Wu said with a sly tone, heh heh, if he followed the miss, she wouldn't be able to shake him off!
"Miss, I'll go with you too!" Song Di also hastily said, he had reacted now.
"I'm going too!"
"I want to go too!"
Everyone hastily said that they were not foolish either, knowing that following Cold Snow was safer, otherwise, who knows if they would be abandoned again!
"The place we're going isn't suitable for you." Leng Ruoxue said somewhat weakly, they were going to temper themselves, what's the point of bringing this group of Xuan Huang along?
"Miss, we also need experience!" Cheng Wuhou said with a thick face.
"The place we're going to won't be very dangerous, what can you guys possibly gain from the experience?" Leng Ruo Xue couldn't help but ask. Alas! If Wan Shan City was still the same chaotic Wan Shan City as before, they might have stayed for a few more days. But now, no one dared to come and challenge them in Wan Shan City, so there was no need to stay here either!
"Miss, I really need your guidance." The steward said with a sincere face, hum... Last time you went to Xiangyang City, Miss didn't bring him, this time going for training should also count as one for him!
"You're already an adult, no need for me to teach you." Cold sweat dripped from Leng Ruo Xue's forehead as she thought to herself, can't you guys just not do this? Alas!
"Miss, why don't you go gain some experience? We can just help you with some trivial matters. Even if you encounter danger, we won't take action unless it's something you can't handle yourself, how about that?" Cheng Wu said after a quick mental calculation.
"No way! You are all Xuan Huang, how can I let you do chores? There are enough Feng Da and others to do chores." Leng Ruo Xue said firmly, she would not bring them along, just like Wu Shuo, bringing them along would make it a bit inconvenient for herself when entering the space.
"Hmm! Since the young lady has made up her mind, we won't force you anymore. We'll guard Wan Shan Castle well for you, and you should return soon!" The steward suddenly became understanding, but as soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Wu and the others glared at him angrily, as if he had said something he shouldn't have.
"Miss, we'll take our leave first." The butler said, and pulled Cheng Wu and others away from the hall...
"Girl, aren't you really going to bring them along?" After the steward and others left, the old man sitting in the hall asked without speaking a word, sighing! The girl is still formidable, having just arrived at Wanshan City for not long, she has already won over such a group of loyal subordinates.
"Hmm, they are more suitable to stay here." Leng Ruoxue said, sighing. Actually, after these days of interaction, she was quite satisfied with Cheng Wu and the others. However, she couldn't take them all away because Wanshan City needed them more. The people in Wanshan City were not something that Leng Ruoxue could fully control, and Cheng Wu and the others were pillars of Wanshan City. If she took them away, Wanshan City would become an empty shell. This way, other forces would soon occupy Wanshan City, making everything they had done a waste.
"Hmm, now Wàn Shān Chéng really can't leave them." The old man understood the situation of Wàn Shān Chéng more than anyone else, so he was quite in agreement with Lěng Ruò Xuě's words.
"Miss, when are we leaving?" Zheng En asked, actually, he could fully understand the emotions of Zheng En and others, and also felt fortunate to be able to follow Miss.
"The day after tomorrow!" Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment and said, there were still some things she needed to take care of.
"Miss, then I'll go take a look if there's anything that needs preparation." Zheng En said, after finishing speaking, he stood up and left the hall.
"Hmm, Master Du, are you planning to travel with us or stay in Wanshan City?" Leng Ruoxue nodded and then turned her head to ask the old man.
"Ah, Lü'er, of course I'll go with you all. Are you going to abandon me too?" The old man asked pitifully, his face twisted in distress.
"Huh? Where is it?" Leng Ruo Xue's forehead was covered in black lines, thinking to herself, "Master Du, how could you do this too!" The old man was Zheng En's master, even if she wanted to not bring him along, it wouldn't be possible!
"It's better if there isn't... Sigh..." The old man said with a sigh of relief.
"Grandfather Du, we're leaving the day after tomorrow, is there anything you need to prepare?" asked Leng Ruoxue.
"No, I've always carried my entire home with me wherever I go!" The old man explained that in fact, for strong people like them, no one would stay in one place for too long, so many people even if they had a fixed residence, would still carry all their belongings on themselves.
"Oh, Master Du, you should take a good rest for the next two days." Ling Ruo Xue reminded, once they go out to gain experience, there won't be much time to rest.
"Hmm, don't worry about me, little girl, I can take care of myself." The old man assured.
"Let's go out for a walk, Grandfather Du." Ling Ruo Xue nodded slightly and said, then left the hall with Yao Jiao.
After Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao left the main hall, they quietly sat on a small peacock and left their residence, arriving at the inner city of Wanshan City.
Walking on the streets of the inner city, Leng Ruo Xue looked at the market which was much more lively than before and felt very satisfied with the current situation. She knew that this was all thanks to the efforts of the stewards and others, because they were the ones who truly treated Wan Shan City as their home!
"Xuě er, where are we going?" The demon asked curiously as he saw Xuě er just wandering around without any specific destination.
"Nowhere to go, let's just head back." said Leng Ruoxue with a faint smile.
"So soon?" The demon said in a somewhat incredulous tone.
"Hmm, I've seen everything I wanted to know." said Leng Ruoxue with a smile.
"Let's go back!" The demon said, listening to his wife is a good man.
Leng Ruo Xue nodded slightly, then summoned the small peacock. The two of them sat on its back and returned to their dwelling in the rear mountain.
"Miss, are you leaving?" Zheng En in the courtyard asked with some surprise as he saw the small peacock landing in front of him.
"Alright, let's go for a walk. Zheng En, have the butler come see me." Leng Ruo Xue jumped down from Xiao Kong Que's back and directly ordered, pulling Yao Nu into the great hall.
"Yes." Zheng Enying replied, and immediately turned around and left.
After a moment, the butler followed Zheng En into the hall.
"Miss! Is there something I can help you with?" The butler asked curiously as he saw Leng Ruoxue sitting in the hall.
"Housekeeper, we're leaving the day after tomorrow. Before I go, there are some things I need to entrust to you." Leng Ruoxue said directly.
"Yes, miss?" The butler replied very respectfully.
"I've said everything in this letter, wait until I'm gone before you open it. Also, the things inside, distribute them to Cheng Wu and the others." Leng Ruoxue handed a letter to the head steward, then gave him a storage ring as well.
"Yes, miss, is there anything else?" asked the butler.
"For now, there's nothing more." Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment and said. She wanted to say what she had already written in that letter earlier, so there was nothing more to explain.
"The subordinate will take his leave first." The housekeeper said hastily.
"Hmm." Leng Ruoxue nodded in response.
"Xue Er, don't you think the housekeeper is a bit strange?" The demon noticed the housekeeper's haste when he left and said with some puzzlement.
"Is there? You demon, are you thinking too much?" said Leng Ruo Xue disapprovingly.
"Hmm, maybe!" The demon said with a hint of skepticism.
"Zheng En, let's hold a farewell dinner tonight. I'll send Feng Da and the others to you later, but keep this secret for now." Leng Ruo Xue thought for a moment before saying this to Zheng En. Ah, perhaps it was because she was about to leave, but she too felt a little sentimental!
"Yes, miss." Zheng En replied happily. Although he hadn't spent much time with Cheng Wu and the others, they got along very well, and Cheng Wu and the others had even gone to Xianyang City specifically to save him, so he was also very grateful to them.
Immediately, Cold-as-Snow's mind turned and she moved Feng Da and the others as well as the beasts out of the shackles.
"Miss, let us take care of the farewell dinner tonight!" Feng Dagang said as soon as he came out. Just now, what the miss said was heard by them in the space, and Qing Jue also brought out a lot of food for them.
"Hmm, you've prepared quite a spread; if there's anything you need, just let me know." said Leng Ruoxue.
"Heh heh, miss, just leave it to us." Feng Da patted his chest in guarantee.
"Good."
After nearly an entire afternoon of preparation, Feng Da and the others finally had the farewell banquet ready. Zheng En then very proactively went to invite the head steward and the others...
"Zheng En, why is Miss looking for us again?" The big housekeeper who followed Zheng En asked with a puzzled face.
"Miss is leaving, of course there's something to say when looking for you, what? You don't want to come?" Zheng En sneered and teased.
"Uh! I didn't mean that, I was just wondering what Miss had to say?" The butler hastily explained, woe... how could Zheng En wrongly accuse him like this? If Miss were to hear about the misunderstanding, he would be so wronged!
"You'll know when you get there!" Zheng En said with a mysterious tone.
"Don't be like that, or you can reveal a bit to us first, you're making me nervous." The housekeeper said pitifully.
"I don't know either, haha!" Seeing the young wife of the steward, Zheng En couldn't help but burst out laughing.
As they spoke, everyone had already arrived at the courtyard where Leng Ruo Xue and others lived.
Seeing the tables set up in the courtyard and the abundance of food on them, Cheng Wu and others were all stunned, what does this mean?
"What...what is this?" The butler, who had finally come back to his senses, asked somewhat foolishly.
"Food, oh steward, don't tell me you can't even recognize what you're eating." Feng Da teased with a smile.
"I know." The butler said with some embarrassment, uh... embarrassing!
"Then let's get seated quickly! I'll go call the waitress." Feng Da said, then turned and left.
"Ah, sit down quickly, this is specially prepared by Miss for you." Zheng En urged.
However, no one sat down, but instead looked at Zheng En with pitiful eyes...
"What are you doing? There's no party that doesn't disperse, calm down!" Facing the gaze of the crowd, Zheng En almost lost his composure!
"Everyone, please sit down, this is Miss's intention." Cheng Wu let out a soft sigh and sat down first.
Then, Song Di and others sat down one after another...
Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao walked out of the room, only to see Cheng Wu and others sitting on chairs with worried faces, each person's face filled with heavy thoughts.
"Don't look so gloomy, okay?" Leng Ruo Xue said somewhat discontentedly. Alas! Did they have to make her feel uncomfortable too?
"Miss, what's this banquet?" Cheng Wu asked with some fear, hoping it wasn't a farewell banquet.
"Miss, as the saying goes, there's no good feast. Whatever you want to say, just say it directly, we can take it." The butler said with a resigned expression.
"You're thinking too much, we'll be leaving the day after tomorrow. Can't you even treat us to a meal before we go?" Leng Ruoxue wiped away two cold sweat drops from her forehead, feeling somewhat helpless and amused. Alas! Seeing them like this, she really couldn't bring herself to say those three words "farewell banquet".
"Miss didn't invite us to dinner before she left for Xiangyang City!" The steward said with a hint of suspicion, "Hmmm...this meal is definitely not normal!"
"Last time I went for a short while, this time it's indefinite!" Leng Ruoxue said patiently.
"Miss, we really don't want to eat this meal." Song Di said weakly, not knowing why, but after eating this meal, he always felt that he would never see the miss again.
"It's no use, everything is ready, it would be a waste if you don't eat." Leng Ruoxue said with a hint of displeasure, sigh! She really couldn't do anything about these people!
"Can't we just eat?" Cheng Wu said with a wronged expression on his face, as if Leng Ruoxue had bullied them.
"Hurry up and eat! Zheng En and Feng Da prepared these dishes for an entire afternoon!" reminded Leng Ruo Xue.
"Dig in!"
"Dig in!"
Cheng Wu and others said to each other, but their faces did not have a single happy expression.
Everyone held food in their hands, absent-mindedly putting it into their mouths, and silently gulping down wine...
"Xue Er, did you put medicine in their food? Look at how painful it is for them to eat." The demoness glanced at Xue Er beside her and teased with a light smile.
"Alas! If you all don't finish eating these foods today, no one is allowed to sleep." Leng Ruoxue let out a deep sigh and commanded somewhat helplessly.
"Yes." The crowd responded weakly, then focused on attacking the food. At first, everyone's mood was very low, but after a few cups of wine, Cheng Wu and others opened their mouths, but they all burst into tears after saying a few words...
"Alas! You little monster, let's go back to the room!" Leng Ruoxue said, unable to bear it any longer.
"Alright, Zheng En, we'll leave it to you." The demoniac pulled Xue Er up and instructed Zheng En and the others.
"Hmm, we'll take good care of them." Zheng En hastily guaranteed, sigh! Letting Cheng Wu and others get to him, his mood was affected!
It's unknown how much wine Cheng Wu and the others had drunk, but the next day, when Leng Ruo Xue and the others came out of their rooms, they saw them lying all over the floor. After having them sent back to their respective rooms, they slept for a whole day without waking up...
And when they woke up, Leng Ruo Xue and others had already left...
Ten days later.
Leng Ruo Xue and others arrived at Guan Yue City.
Guanyue City is one of the larger cities on the continent of Haotian, and it's called Guanyue City because it belongs to the Guanyue family.
The Guan Yue Family, although not as powerful as the three super families, is still considered a top-notch family on the vast continent of Haotian.
"Xue Er, this Guan Yue City is indeed a big city, more lively than the several cities we passed through in the past few days." Leng Ruo Han couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the crowded streets.
"Let's find an inn first, brother." Ling Ruo Xue suggested, she knew that everyone was very curious about the Hua Tian Continent, so every time they arrived at a new place, they couldn't help but want to take a look around.
"Alright." Leng Ruo Han said somewhat embarrassedly, heh heh, he actually forgot something so important!
Leng Ruo Xue and others walked along the street, looking for an inn. However, after searching several houses, they found that all the inns they wanted to stay at were fully booked, which made her feel a bit strange!
"Xu'er, this is the last inn in Guan Yue City. If it's fully booked, we'll have to sleep on the streets." The demon said, holding a map and looking at the three-story high inn in front of him, speaking to Leng Ruo Xue.
