"Enough of your rubbish. You just want that items right? I'll go and bring it." The farmer didn't want to talk with Han Li anymore thus he wanted to leave and get the items to shoo this person as soon as possible.
"I'll come. This is my farm, you know? Why are you so adamant in chasing me out?" Jin Rou followed suit and smiled. Of all the people out there, this farmer could be said one of the most venemous yet kind. He might be harsh with his words, but he actually didn't mean it.
The farmer snorted. The other party had a point. This farm belonged to Han Li himself as he was the one who created this. Of course, the farmer also had a share in the Serenity Farm.
The two walked without talking. Jin Rou didn't bother teasing the man or else he'd feel like he would explode anytime soon.
After a few minutes, they reached the hut. It was a normal looking hut with no distinguishing features on it. If you put this hut in the regular farms outside, it looked like it belonged to that place. But of course, this was only when you look at the outside and surface level of the hut.
If you delve deeper into this, you'd see millions of trap and protective formations circling the hut. Any intruder who touched this would become die, top monarchs included. The traps were solely and purposefully there against high-leveled Dao Monarchs and Monarch Slayers.
Jin Rou felt a reuniting vibe even though it was his first time here. Perhaps it was because of possessing the memories and emotions of Han Li.
The farmer opened the door and gestured at Jin Rou, "Will you enter or not?"
Jin Rou didn't answer, immediately entering the door which was opened for him.
And what met his eyes were a big paradise filled with greenery. It had falls, both reverse and normal ones, with blooming flowers under the sparkling butterflies. Although it was dark here, the greenery of the place was still there, not fading lesser.
It was the paradise inside the Farm Hut. Han Li had painstakingly paid a price to create this one and no one knew what price it was. What's important was it was worth it in the end.
"Still beautiful as ever." Jin Rou sighed, "It seems that you have been taking care of this place very well."
"Who will take care of this if not me?" The farmer threw a cold glance at Jin Rou, "I have worked hard to maintain the original look of this place since day one."
It was true. As Han Li entrusted this place to him, he made sure that he deserved of being entrusted on. That's why Serenity Farm was going by the rising ranks one step at a time. It was possible to leap through the rankings, though, but he knew it would just garner unnecessary attention towards the farm. He might be a very strong Imperial Lord, but there were still people on the same level as him or even stronger than him.
"That's true." Jin Rou nodded as he touched a petal of a flower near him. Han Li was well versed in choosing people, "But isn't it lonely? You're the only here."
"Who says he's lonely?" Unexpectedly, a woman appeared out of the falls, fresh from the bath. Her curves were enticing enough for all men to fall for. The golden hair of hers which was fluttering by the wind though it was wet made a plus to her sexiness. On top of that, her face was the kind to topple major nations and make them die for her.
Jin Rou looked at this woman and was almost choked. This caught him off guard for real.
The farmer's lips curved up to a smile. He was greatly satisfied when he saw the reaction of Han Li.
Jin Rou looked at the farmer, gesturing him to explain what's going on.
"You told me I can take one in as long I trust them. Here she is, I know I can trust her." The farmer shrugged his shoulders as if it had nothing to do with him, "After all, this lady was one of your crazed followers."
"Who are you calling crazy?" The woman put on some clothes while rolling her eyes. However, her eyes immediately sparkled when she saw Han Li in the flesh, "Young Majesty, I know you're alive and well."
Jin Rou felt a headache coming his way. Han Li was very familiar with this woman as he had known him for ages. Nevertheless, he still greeted her and said, "You have grown bigger now, Raina."
The last time he saw him was she was still a little princess of a nation. She was brimming with talent like Ryan, and now she's strong enough to protect herself and others. The once weak and ill princess of a gone nation was now acting like an empress who could destroy kingdoms and empires.
"Of course, Your Majesty." Raina smiled sweetly as she said, "I have trained so hard in order to assist you in the near future. Thankfully, Master Terin accepted me here and let me train to the best of my extents."
The Farm Hut was really the best place to train saplings. It was also the reason why Han Li told Terin to take someone in to become his successor. Who would have thought that he'd take in Raina?
"Indeed, you have gotten stronger now. But you still need more training under Terin or else it'd be dangerous." Jin Rou said. Although Raina was a genius and now a dazzling Imperial Lord, her experience was still lacking as she had been staying here. The lack of experience outside this hut was a major flaw.
In order to become a full fledged Imperial Lord, Raina had to experience the battles of the world.
"That's why your arrival is great." Terin smirked. It was clear that he's plotting something here.
Of course, how could Jin Rou not notice it? This scheming lord didn't change at all.. He immediately shook his head and said, "No. That's impossible!"
