This time around, the dizziness lasted slightly longer than the first time. It took Leng Hong Xiu almost fifteen seconds to recover, and she met Feng You Ran and Yun Ran's worried eyes. She could not help but feel uncomfortable and puzzled, this was already the second time, what was going on? Was it also that stupid snake's neidan?
"Hong Xiu, this is the second time. Where exactly do you feel uncomfortable? Give me your hand and I'll take your pulse!"
Even Feng You Ran, who had been on guard against Yun Yang the entire time, nodded and agreed, "That's right, Hong Xiu, if you're not feeling well, don't force yourself. We can't be sure yet whether young master Sen Luo was really captured and sent to the Kingdom of Yue. It would be bad for your health if you travel with your life on the line."
However, Leng Hong Xiu did not appreciate their concern, let alone the fact that it was only dizziness without the slightest pain. It was most likely caused by the internal pill of that stupid snake, and by checking her pulse, she was able to determine that there was something in her body that did not belong to her.
Leng Hong Xiu rejected him. Pushing Feng You Ran aside, she stood up and said, "I'm fine. I know what's going on with my own body. You don't have to worry about me. If we have enough rest, we'll leave."
Yun Yang and Feng You Ran looked at each other at the same time and sighed helplessly at Leng Hong Xiu's unconcerned expression.
The following days, they still hurried on without stopping. After half a month, they arrived at the small mountain city on the border of the Rising Sun Country. It was also the small city that Leng Hong Xiu was the first to reach after leaving the Wasteland.
When the four of them arrived, although Leng Hong Xiu's mental state was still alright, she looked just like Yun Ri and Yang Feng. She was also in a sorry state. Other than Leng Hong Xiu, the other three people also looked quite dispirited.
At this moment, the three of them were all in a different mood. Leng Hong Xiu had been thinking for less than three months and had thought that she would be able to run her business in Sun City and gain a foothold in this world. However, she had never expected that she would spend all her other time on the road between Sun City and Sun City just because she knew that stupid snake.
Now, he was once again standing here, not caring about the hardships of travelling. Once all the goods in the wasteland were bought, they could truly leave the sun and descend to the moon.
Tomorrow, when the resources were sufficient, he would have to follow Leng Hongxiu into the Wasteland, passing through the vast area to arrive at the West Continent that he had never been to before. He didn't know if the true appearance of the State of Moonfall was as cold and snow-covered as the books described it to be, after all, even in the coldest winter, it rarely snowed. With such a long life, the number of times he had seen snow could be counted on one hand, and his excitement and anticipation towards the unknown in his heart could be imagined.
Feng You Ran and Mu Rong's hearts were naturally excited and happy. After all, they had left their home for so many months, and now they could finally return home again. The excitement in their hearts was obvious, and this time, his identity would truly be overturned and he would be able to stabilize the political situation in the country and become the new king.
If that were to happen, all the grievances and humiliation he had suffered would also be reversed, including the pain of not being able to reveal his identity in front of Yun Ri Yang right now, including the feeling of being able to lift his head and show his power.
Therefore, for Feng You Ran, coming here was undoubtedly a step closer to the peak of his power.
At the same time, he was also looking at the westernmost city gate. As long as he passed through the gate, he would no longer have to hide. However, he needed to go to a place before that.
While thinking, Leng Hong Xiu turned her head and said, "We will rest here for the night. Tomorrow morning, we will leave the city and begin to cross the wasteland. I believe that you all are familiar with this road."
Due to the matter of Leng Hong Xiu being carried away when they were first on the road, after almost being chased away by Feng You Ran, Mu Ren's attitude towards Leng Hong Xiu had become much more respectful. Hearing that, he immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Miss Leng does not need to worry.
"Very good. Yun Jiu, you can go shopping with me. You can do as you wish." After saying that, Leng Hong Xiu turned and beckoned to Yun Ri Yang before walking away. This was the first time Yun Ri Yang had heard Leng Hong Xiu call him to do something alone. He could not help but follow along happily, "Okay."
Feng You Ran was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Hong Xiu, I will go with you."
"No need, since we have returned here, is there no one that you would like to see? "Even if you want to see me, I won't run. I still have much to rely on in my journey down the moon!"
Leng Hong Xiu had already understood everything, and was clearly telling him that if he wanted to meet Feng Yanran, then he would do so without having to carry her. At the same time, she told him in such a straightforward manner that even if he went to find Feng Yanran right now and ask her for that item, she would not give him it.
Feng You Ran was a very intelligent person, so he naturally understood the moment he heard this. He was a little embarrassed, but then he relaxed, and to tell the truth, he had to carry Leng Hong Xiu to meet up with Yan Ran again, and told her everything that had happened these past few days, and he felt a little guilty about it. After all, after running for so long in vain, he was still unable to accomplish anything, not to mention that the city was so small and Leng Hong Xiu was so sharp.
"Let's meet up at the biggest inn in the city that night, how about that?"
Feng You Ran shouted as he looked at Leng Hong Xiu's back.
Leng Hong Xiu raised her hand to show that she understood, not even opening her mouth once more. That cold and firm back caused Feng You Ran to be convinced from the bottom of his heart. In this world, only Leng Hong Xiu was this cold.
"Once we leave the city gates, it won't be easy to control the master and servant duo!" After walking for a short distance, Yun Ri Yang suddenly spoke up.
Leng Hong Xiu was stunned for a moment before she said calmly, "Oh, where did this come from?"
"The dignified Third Prince of the Feng family, he was pretending to be an ordinary person these past few days, enduring his anger while hiding his head and curling his tail, especially when I wantonly got close to you and revealed my ninth prince's identity, I'm afraid that he may have suffered for the rest of his life, but he must have suffered a lot in the past few days. Furthermore, because of my special identity, he doesn't dare to casually hide himself, and now that he is about to leave the rising sun's border, he is like a rising hidden dragon.
Yun Ri Yang said in a teasing tone while smiling at Leng Hong Xiu. His eyes, however, were clear and wise.
Leng Hong Xiu looked at him, as though she was not surprised at all after hearing his words, "You already knew that, so when did you know? Before we leave the capital or after we leave the city? "
Before we left the city, when I received them at the mouth of the alleyway, I recognized them. Although their skin color had darkened and their attire had changed, you guys have obviously overlooked the fact that there are bandits wanted at the entrance of the city, so that portrait must have been sent to my Ninth Prince's Mansion for my purpose. Although Feng You Ran changed his attire, his facial features were still there.
Although Leng Hong Xiu already knew that the disguise of Feng You Ran and Mu Ren would not be able to hide it from Yun Ri Yang for too long, she didn't expect him to recognize them when they were at the entrance of the alley, "Since you already recognized them, why did you pretend you didn't know and bring them out of the city?"
"That's because of you!" Although I do not know the reason, as long as it's someone you want to save, I will agree to help. If I know that Sen Luo is a demon, I might harm you and me, but Hong Xiu, you do not believe me. If you want to find him, then I will accompany you to look for him. That's why I pretended I didn't know anything and brought them out of the city. "
Leng Hong Xiu looked at him in silence, not saying a word. Towards Yun Jiu's sudden serious expression and his tone of voice, she could roughly guess what kind of feelings Yun Jiu had towards her. She could not help but look at him with a cold and sorrowful gaze, "Yun Jiu, are you betting on how I will discover your feelings?"
This time, the person who was surprised was Yun Ri Yang, "Hong Xiu, you —"
"I already understand what you want from me. Seeing that you've finally met me and traveled together for so many days, I'll tell you this clearly. I don't have the thing you want, so even if I have it, I won't give it to you. "You can go back to the Sun City now that you have received my answer. Since you know Feng You Ran's identity, you should know that once you go to the Moon Descend, you will be the one to hold yourself back and act like a human being!"
"Leng Hongxiu, not only are you a cold person, you don't leave me any leeway when you speak to me. You've only just understood my intentions, yet you've already said that you don't like me? Do you think it's a ridiculous and absurd thing for me to have feelings for a man like you? "
Even though Leng Hongxiu had already mentally prepared herself for the possibility that a man might not fall in love with another man, she still couldn't bear his straightforward refusal. Her heart felt as if it had been heavily pounded by something, and the pain made her feel numb.
"It would only harm you if you didn't have any hope of returning your delusions. This is a rare opportunity for me to be kind-hearted and decide to be an honest person. Why don't you appreciate my kindness?"
This was indeed the kind heart that she had rarely thought about for others over the years, because that kind of thing had already been annihilated the day she decided to set foot on the dark path. It was already not easy for her to find some remnants of it and use it on Yun Ri Yang, but if he did not appreciate her kindness, then she would let him be. After all, no one was responsible for the sincerity or pretense of others, unless he was willing to.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of that stupid snake. He didn't know how it was faring, but if he had been killed by those sixteen Demon Slayer, he wouldn't have been so agitated and worried.
