2157 Quite Good

That’s right. This strong and tall man in front of her was ranked second among the Thirteen Yue Guards.

Thank you readers!

He had a very memorable name: Hua Shuangshuang.

Although it sounded a little strange to outsiders, Hua Shuangshuang didn’t think so himself. He was very open-minded about these things.

Moreover, Chu Liuyue was calling him now.

“Greetings, Master!” Hua Shuangshuang immediately kneeled on one knee and bowed solemnly.

Chu Liuyue raised her palm, and a gentle force helped him up. “There’s no need to be so polite. Come over quickly.”

Only then did Hua Shuangshuang stand up and go forward.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, the fiends behind him became restless again.

Chu Liuyue felt a little helpless. “Did you tease them again?”

Speaking of this, Hua Shuangshuang was a little embarrassed. “After coming to Peach Blossom Dock, I wanted to come over directly. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet… so I went to the mountain to wander around.”

This was also why he came a little late.

Chu Liuyue held her forehead.

Hua Shuangshuang had a special characteristic: he liked fiends very much.

To be precise, he liked to tame beasts.

Generally speaking, fiends were wild and had a natural vigilance and rejection of humans. Unless they contracted, it was very difficult for humans to control fiends for their own use.

However, Hua Shuangshuang was different. For some reason, he was very popular with all kinds of fiends, and he could easily tame all kinds of fiends.

Unexpectedly, even legendary fiends were the same now…

“It’s fine. You came at the right time. We were talking about you just now. Sit.”

San San immediately moved to the side, and so did Yu Jiu.

Hua Shuangshuang sat down and laughed when he saw San San beside him. “San San, it’s been a long time since we last met. You’ve become more chubby. It seems like you’ve been living a good life!”

“Second Brother, you’re joking with me again.”

“Second Brother, I thought you would bring some food over this time.” Shi Fang was a little disappointed. “Just now, Master said that we were vegetarian.”

“…That’s true.” Shi Fang instantly felt guilty. “I didn’t consider it.”

Hua Shuangshuang waved his hand indifferently, indicating that he didn’t care.

But with his action, the fiends guarding outside immediately became restless again. The few in front even walked over tentatively.

Hua Shuangshuang immediately raised his chin and gave them a warning look. “What did I say just now? Go back!”

Perhaps because his words were sterner this time, the fiends lingered at the door for a while before finally leaving reluctantly.

A few of them retreated a distance and stayed behind.

The atmosphere at the banquet instantly recovered from its tense state.

San San put down the bowl in his hand.

Yu Jiu let go of the wooden sword.

Thirteen touched the little red-cloud leopard in his arms and thought to himself, I can eat my fill this time.

Xiao Ba exhaled softly and fanned herself with her palm. Fortunately, the new clothes and exquisite makeup this time won’t be lost to those ‘little fellows.’

Chu Liuyue looked at Hua Shuangshuang in admiration. “Shuangshuang, it seems like you’ve improved a lot.”

In the past, when Hua Shuangshuang was taming beasts, he would often cause a mess in a tizzy because of her poor control. However, it was effective this time—those legendary fiends seemed to be especially obedient.

Hua Shuangshuang laughed. “It’s been so long. If I can’t even do this little thing well, I really won’t have the face to see you.”

Although this was a joking tone, Chu Liuyue could hear the seriousness in it. Something seemed to surge in her heart, a little sour and warm.

“It’s good you’re here.”

Hua Shuangshuang said, “Master, I heard that you brought back all the fiends in Peach Blossom Dock?”

Chu Liuyue smiled and briefly explained what had happened previously.

A hint of surprise flashed across Hua Shuangshuang’s eyes. “No wonder… Generally speaking, these legendary fiends are arrogant and rarely live together in such a mess. So it’s because of this… In addition, with the red-gold heavenly phoenix suppressing them, they’re much more well-behaved.”

Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up.

Hua Shuangshuang’s words made sense.

These fiends were filled with respect and admiration for Tuan Zi. Even if Tuan Zi didn’t care about them, they were very careful.

“By the way, Tuan Zi is actually Little Nine. You haven’t seen each other for a long time. She must miss you too,” said Chu Liuyue with a smile.

At that time, Tuan Zi was still a Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant and was also the highest-level fiend in Tianling Imperial City.

When this man and beast joined forces, they were invincible. Therefore, their relationship had always been very good.

“Really?” Hua Shuangshuang was very surprised.

Actually, he had vaguely guessed it before. Now that he heard Chu Liuyue’s affirmative answer, he instantly felt even more at ease.

“But she’s not here now; she’s busy with other things. I’ll bring you to see her later.”

Hua Shuangshuang immediately agreed. “Thank you, Master!”

Chu Liuyue paused and asked, “How have you been in the past few years?”

…

On the other side, Tuan Zi was bandaging Zi Chen’s wound.

She carefully removed his gauze. After cleaning the wound, she helped apply a layer of medicine. Finally, she wrapped it again with clean white gauze.

After some work, she finally clapped her hands in satisfaction. “Alright! Zi Chen, look at how I bandaged your wound!?”

Zi Chen lowered his eyes and looked at the bow on his wrist. He was silent for a long time.

“Pretty good.”
