The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 636 - 362: An Unexpected Encounter on a Narrow Road

Changtian could not persuade her, so he had Tu Jin find a village for her to temporarily stay for a few days. Nian Family Village is only seventy li from Chiming City and lies within the protective range of Demon City. Moreover, the local abundance of various fruits makes the village wealthy, an ideal place to settle down.

Interestingly, the household that they borrowed the residence from did not bear the Nian surname but the Ling surname, a middle-aged couple who had recently moved from another place. The Ling Family’s daughter-in-law seemed to be from Central Earth; upon hearing Ning Xiaoxian and others’ accent and seeing the lively and adorable Ali, she immediately agreed to let them stay.

But from that day on, Tu Jin and Qi Zai had bad luck. The hostess, whose pain had ceased and began to be active, started to order them to do all sorts of errands:

"Tu Jin, I want the four-colored pastries from Renfang House, and if you can get there by Shenshi (3 p.m.) today, their cakes will just be freshly baked, still steaming hot." Renfang House is the most famous pastry shop in Chiming City, known for its Central Earth origin. It’s said that the pastry masters are specially imported from Central Province by Fengtian Prefecture, making only six hundred boxes a day, selling out within two hours upon opening. Wanna buy? Get in line.

"I want to drink the Ice Dew from Maimaiti Family, at least twenty years old," she said to the little wine lover, Qi Zai. Maimaiti Family’s Ice Dew is well-known far and wide, made from the fresh early spring jade fruits mixed with fine Spiritual Wine, superior for its sweet and refreshing taste, quite fitting for women. What Ning Xiaoxian wanted was the batch that, after preparation, was buried under an osmanthus tree for twenty more years to absorb the fragrance before being released for sale.

"I also want the flying shuttle from Shuize Garden, I heard that buying more than a hundred Spirit Stones allows you to take one away, but you must return within one and a half two hours or the chilling effect will fade." The Spiritual Wine in God Demon Prison isn’t ready yet, otherwise, they could have made drunken crab themselves.

"I also want..."

With each additional item she named, Tu Jin and Qi Zai’s faces turned a shade greener. This Miss, although only lying on a rocking chair now, had eyes that kept rolling about incessantly, restlessly.

And keeping people busy running errands was indeed a detestable mischief.

Luckily, these two fellows indeed had swift feet. To run back and forth to Chiming City took only about two two hours. Changtian had requested them to leave one person to watch over the house, so now, it was Tu Jin running the errands, with Qi Zai watching over Ning Xiaoxian.

The osmanthus flowers outside the window were too fragrant, and Ali was chatting with the Ling family daughter-in-law, their laughter emanating in bursts.

In this sunny afternoon, Ning Xiaoxian slowly closed her eyes again.

...

Not knowing how long she had slept, she suddenly heard Changtian’s voice, tinged with annoyance: "Wake up, trouble is coming!"

She opened her eyes in a daze and saw another person outside the window, standing and staring deeply at her.

Which young man enraptured by Granny is this? From her angle, the light silhouetted against her, so it took her a while to notice that this person had a tall figure, unlike ordinary village youths. She squinted her eyes and finally saw his face clearly, her heart skipping a beat: trouble.

As he saw her waking up, a cold smirk appeared on his lips, he slowly said: "Long time no see, Miss Tan!"

His eyebrows slanted up into his temples, his eyes sharp and spirited, giving off a vibe of an eagle’s sight and a wolf’s watch. The last time they met, she and all his men were left with an indelible impression.

The Immortal Bandit Leader, Fu Yunzhang!

Her heart jumped, a surprised look appearing on her face: "You were actually following me?"

Fu Yunzhang was initially suppressing his anger, but upon hearing her first remark, he couldn’t help but show a wry smile, clearing his throat he said: "Nonsense! You come to Nian Family Village and fall into the net yourself, and yet you still play the victim?"

Ning Xiaoxian frowned and said: "Nian Family Village is your territory, how could I not know?" How could Miluo not know? How could he allow Immortal Bandits to camp right at the edge of Chiming City?

Upon hearing her words, Fu Yunzhang was startled. This young lady might appear young, but her words were piercingly incisive. Given the proximity to Chiming City, where Second Young Master of Fengtian Prefecture was currently stationed, if he were convinced of any collusion between Nian Family Village and the Immortal Bandits, it’s likely that by tomorrow, anyone connected to Fu Yunzhang in the village would vanish.

With that thought, a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"Don’t worry, I’m not someone who talks much." Ning Xiaoxian was not afraid, she leisurely said, "What do you mean by falling into the net, do we have a grudge?" The Qi Zai still in the guise of a little white bird on the rocking chair watched him vigilantly, prepared to strike unexpectedly should he dare make a move against his mistress.
