Chapter 188 Arrival in Mingdu
Shrek City, the residence of a deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan.
Ye Nanxiao was shirtless and cross-legged, cultivating. Wisps of frost danced around him. He slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with blue light that then slowly merged into his eyes.
As the last glimmer of blue light came into Ye Nanxiao's view, Ye Nanxiao let out a long breath.
I stretched and moved around a bit.
On the large bed behind Ye Nanxiao, there was a view that could drive most men in the world crazy.
Ye Nanxiao stood up and walked to the bedside, slowly squatted down, and said softly and gently, "My two little darlings, what would you like to eat for breakfast today?"
Upon hearing this, the two figures on the bed shifted their bodies, and Ma Xiaotao kicked the blanket off with her long, fair legs.
A patch of fair skin ignited a burning desire in Ye Nanxiao's heart.
"I'll do whatever Nan Nan wants," Ma Xiaotao snuggled into Jiang Nan Nan's arms, finding a comfortable spot to continue sleeping like a little sister.
"If you want the carrots, remember to add two extra portions of fried pork chops to Xiaotao's portion." Jiang Nannan rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, hugged Ma Xiaotao in her arms, closed her eyes, and continued to sleep.
Ye Nanxiao kissed the two of them on the forehead, covered Ma Xiaotao with a blanket, put on a white shirt, and went downstairs to be a loving husband.
After working for a while, Master Ye brewed himself a large serving of Yilingguo tea.
I casually picked up an orange from the fruit basket.
"Hmm? These oranges are pretty good." After finishing his orange, Ye Nanxiao licked his lips and picked up another one to eat.
Even after all the oranges in the fruit basket had been eaten, Ye Nanxiao was still somewhat unsatisfied.
"These oranges are surprisingly delicious!" Ye Nanxiao made up his mind to buy more oranges and carry them with him.
Sitting in the courtyard, slowly savoring the tea brewed with Yiling fruit, Ye Nanxiao revealed a satisfied smile, rubbed his aching lower back, and sighed, "Life should be like this."
A stream of light emerged from between Ye Nanxiao's eyebrows, transforming into a stunningly beautiful figure.
"I wonder who went to all that trouble yesterday to trick two beautiful young ladies into sharing a bed with them," Xue Di mocked, two blushes clearly visible on her fair face.
"You better keep quiet before you go to work next time!" Xue Di bent down, reached out and pinched Ye Nanxiao's cheek, and said resentfully.
Last night, Xue Di went from being overly curious to being too shy to watch. In the end, the fox in question got carried away and ignored Xue Di's requests to censor the scene. Finally, the scene became too intense, and he couldn't bear it any longer and gave Ye Nanxiao a thrashing.
"It was an accident, an accident. Last night was purely accidental. I'll remember to block it next time," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile. Last night, he almost went to discuss the Dao of No Desire with Brother Liu.
Soon, accompanied by the sound of footsteps coming downstairs, two stunning figures appeared hand in hand before Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, her eyes filled with tenderness. "When sisters are in harmony, we can work more effectively!"
In front of Shrek City gates.
"Remember, don't flirt with the young girls over there, or Sister Xiaotao will burn you!" Ma Xiaotao was making an agreement with Ye Nanxiao, one rule after another, though it's unclear which chapter it was.
Jiang Nannan stepped forward and straightened Ye Nanxiao's clothes, gazing at him tenderly. She parted her red lips slightly and said, "Remember to take care of yourself. Don't stay up all night cultivating immortality, and don't take too many risks. You know there are people at home waiting for you to come back!"
Jiang Nannan would silently support all of Ye Nanxiao's decisions.
She knew what this trip meant for Ye Nanxiao.
Elder Xuan stood in front, holding his wine gourd, and deliberately waited for a while.
After the two of them had lingered for a while, he walked up to Ye Nanxiao and said calmly, "Xiao boy, let's go."
"I'd appreciate it if Elder Xuan could give me a ride." Ye Nanxiao chuckled, his left hand outstretched, revealing a storage ring in his palm.
"There are hundreds of jars of fine wine inside. This is all I have in stock. I'll continue brewing wine for you when I get back."
Elder Xuan raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on his face. He instantly took the ring from Ye Nanxiao's palm and chuckled, "You kid definitely still have some left, but you said you'd come back to continue brewing wine, so don't try to fool this old man! Even if Elder Mu hadn't given the word, I would still have seen you off."
Ye Nanxiao glanced back at the group of figures standing at the Shrek City gate and nodded.
Elder Xuan used his soul power to envelop himself and Ye Nanxiao, and the flying soul tool on his back burst into flames, instantly transforming into a streak of light and flying into the distance.
Shen Ciyuan leaned closer to Bei Bei, rubbing his hands together and said with a smile, "Brother Bei Bei, I'd like to join the Tang Sect, is that alright?"
Beibei smiled and said, "Of course you can."
Hearing Beibei agree, Shen Ciyuan's smile deepened.
"Once I join the Tang Clan, I can naturally spar with Nanxiao every day. If he avoids me, I'll just go to his little building and wait for him, hehehe!" Shen Ciyuan muttered.
The smile on Beibei's face, who was standing next to him, suddenly became a little stiff.
"Shen Ciyuan, you're trying to get rid of me again! No way!" Luo Xinyao swung a vine and lifted Shen Ciyuan up, dragging him in front of her.
After glaring at Shen Ciyuan, Luo Xinyao walked up to Bei Bei and said, "Brother Bei Bei, since Yuan Yuan has joined the Tang Sect, I want to join too."
Beibei looked at Shen Ciyuan, who was hanging up, and her lips twitched involuntarily. She slowly nodded.
"Sister Tao, do you think that lecherous fox might bring another one back?" Jiang Nannan asked.
"Probably, the Bone Robe is on the Sun and Moon Continent." Ma Xiaotao took Jiang Nannan's arm.
"Sigh, that lecherous fox!" Jiang Nannan said helplessly.
Ma Xiaotao whispered in Jiang Nannan's ear, "It'll be easier for us if there are more people. Weren't we so tired last night that we didn't want to move a single finger?"
Jiang Nannan's pretty face immediately flushed red. She patted Ma Xiaotao lightly and said coquettishly, "Let's go, let's go back."
Hanging up, Shen Ciyuan watched Jiang Nannan and Ma Xiaotao being as close as sisters. He stroked his chin, turned to look at Luo Xinyao, who was discussing joining the Tang Clan with Beibei, and then looked at someone biting a lollipop and looking at him. After a while, his expression suddenly became firm.
------------
"Young man, this is the best we can do." Elder Xuan escorted Ye Nanxiao to a point not far from the border of the Sun Moon Empire.
Ye Nanxiao nodded, and the two landed on the main road, where a caravan had been waiting for a long time.
A middle-aged man leading the caravan quickly stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, I'm all ready."
"Thank you for your trouble, Lynn," Elder Xuan said.
"Elder Xuan, you flatter me. If there's anything I can do to help with Shrek Academy's affairs, my Lin family will definitely help," Lin En said.
"This is Lynn, the head of the Lin family. We're going into the Sun Moon Empire with the caravan this time." After explaining this to Ye Nanxiao, Elder Xuan picked up his wine jug and went off to find a place to relax.
"Thank you for your help, Patriarch Lin," Ye Nanxiao said.
"It's nothing. Actually, my daughter has benefited greatly from your care," Lynn said with a smile.
"Daughter? Lin Susu?" Ye Nanxiao thought for a moment, and realized that Lin Susu was the only person he knew with the surname Lin.
"That girl is quite impulsive; I'll have to trouble you for help in the future," Lynn said with a smile.
"Definitely!" Ye Nanxiao nodded and smiled, then put on his flying soul tool and followed the Lin family's group.
It took Ye Nanxiao and his group a full day to fly to Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire.
By the time Lynn finished completing all the formalities for entering the city, it was already dark.
Ye Nanxiao kept looking around. The surrounding buildings were at least five stories high, while in the direction of the Mingdu center, the buildings were mostly more than ten stories high. The lights of thousands of homes made the city shine brightly, as if vying with the stars in the sky.
"As expected of the number one city, Shrek City is still a bit lacking." Ye Nanxiao sighed.
"Yes, soul tools are ultimately the future trend," Elder Xuan said, appearing beside Ye Nanxiao at some point.
"Are we going to find that fat old man, Jing Hongchen?" Elder Xuan asked, taking a sip of his wine.
"No rush. Mingdu is so big, I need to explore it properly." Ye Nanxiao smiled and looked towards the distance of a main road.
"Elder Xuan, Brother Nanxiao, we will be staying in Mingdu for about a week. If you need any help from the Lin family, please feel free to come and find me!" Lin En bowed slightly to Elder Xuan and led the caravan toward the center of Mingdu.
"Elder Xuan, I'll go take a look around first." Ye Nanxiao said and walked towards the densely built area of Mingdu.
"Are you sure you don't want to hide it? Anyone who has participated in the Continental Soul Master Competition would recognize your face," Elder Xuan said, looking at Ye Nanxiao's handsome, almost demonic face.
"It can't be that coincidental. The time for their exchange with our academy is almost here. They should all be training and thinking about how to challenge Shrek Academy. Who has time to wander around the streets?" Ye Nanxiao waved his hand and said.
Looking at Ye Nanxiao's confident face, Elder Xuan reached into his robes and pulled out a chicken leg bone.
"What did you just say?"
"Let me look around, there should be something to cover my face." Seeing Elder Xuan take out a chicken leg, Ye Nanxiao immediately started rummaging through his storage ring.
A moment later, a rabbit mask appeared on Ye Nanxiao's face. He put on the mask and asked, "Is this okay now?"
"Did you fail your extreme training course or did you get in through connections? Aren't you good at disguise?" Elder Xuan bit off a chicken leg and vanished from the spot in an instant.
"It might be easier if I get discovered," Ye Nanxiao muttered to himself.
One hour later.
"Are black markets really this hard to find?" Ye Nanxiao was still wandering around.
After wandering around for a while, and with darkness falling, the city became more crowded.
Ye Nanxiao finally decided to use the old method, entering a teahouse that looked very high-end, ordering two plates of snacks and a pot of sake, and listening attentively.
The teahouse was bustling with business, with people coming in and sitting down from night until the early hours of the morning.
As the sky outside gradually brightened, Ye Nanxiao had no mood for cultivation. He sat in the teahouse all night, but didn't hear a single word about the black market.
"This is a headache. It seems I need to find someone with a high status in the area to help me. Which young master should I extort?" Ye Nanxiao fell into deep thought.
There are many wealthy people in Mingdu, but their relationships with each other are extremely complicated.
Ye Nanxiao held an orange in his hand and slowly turned it around.
Staring at the orange in his hand, Ye Nanxiao suddenly raised his eyebrows and pulled a name from his memory.
"tangerine."
"Brother, hurry up! I'm hungry!"
A girl's coquettish voice brought Ye Nanxiao back to reality from his reverie. Ye Nanxiao felt that the voice sounded familiar, and he glanced discreetly in the direction of the voice's owner.
With a silver right-side ponytail and a white dress that accentuated her slender figure, she had a sweet appearance, like a girl next door.
Meng Hongchen dragged Xiao Hongchen's arm, her bright eyes searching for a place.
"They're locals, and of relatively high status. The Hongchen siblings, huh? This is going to be interesting." Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin, pondering how to get closer to the two.
Xiao Hongchen looked at his younger sister with a helpless expression, while also sizing up Ye Nanxiao not far away.
Ye Nanxiao was the only one wearing a mask on the entire floor, which was quite eye-catching.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Meng Hongchen followed Xiao Hongchen's gaze and saw Ye Nanxiao wearing a mask. A surge of excitement from her martial spirit quietly arose within her.
"It's nothing. Aren't you hungry? Hurry up and order something." Xiao Hongchen looked away.
Ye Nanxiao then realized that it was already broad daylight. He picked up the now-cold sake, poured himself a cup, and sipped it slowly.
Meng Hongchen's eyes suddenly turned red, leaving Xiao Hongchen completely bewildered. However, knowing her younger sister's personality, Xiao Hongchen didn't intend to stop her.
Ye Nanxiao seemed oblivious to the cold, continuing to savor the wine in his glass.
"Is there something wrong with my senses?" Meng Hongchen walked directly to Ye Nanxiao's side, placed her jade-like hand on Ye Nanxiao's shoulder, and a wisp of deep blue pattern quietly entered Ye Nanxiao's body. At the same time, she greeted him, saying, "Hello, may I bother you for a moment? You look somewhat like an old friend of mine."
Within Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea, the Snow Emperor coldly snorted, instantly dissolving the chilling aura that Meng Hongchen had instilled in Ye Nanxiao's body, intending to let Meng Hongchen reap what she sowed.
"Wait until Xue'er, the tour guide arrives, don't make a move yet." Ye Nanxiao's expression behind the mask resembled that of some unscrupulous businessmen.
Sensing that the chill within Ye Nanxiao's body was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, and combining this with the excitement her martial soul had just felt, Meng Hongchen seemed to have confirmed her guess. She withdrew her martial soul and said sweetly, "Nanxiao, what brings you to Mingdu?"
Xiao Hongchen was startled upon hearing this. "Ye Nanxiao?"
Ye Nanxiao feigned helplessness and said, "How did you recognize me?"
"It's a secret. I'll tell you if you agree to go shopping with me." Meng Hongchen held up a finger in front of her two rosy lips and winked at Ye Nanxiao.
After a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Hongchen found a waiter and pointed to Ye Nanxiao's table, saying, "Let's share a table."
After saying that, Xiao Hongchen sat down directly opposite Ye Nanxiao.
Meng Hongchen also sat down, but her seat was next to Ye Nanxiao's.
Seeing this, Ye Nanxiao subtly shifted his position.
Ye Nanxiao removed the mask covering his face, revealing a handsome, almost demonic face.
"I want to eat him up more and more!" Meng Hongchen's heart raced instantly.
"What are you doing in Mingdu?" Xiao Hongchen picked up the wine pot on the table, took a new wine cup, poured himself a cup of wine, and didn't care at all that it was cold sake.
"I'm here for tourism," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile. "Do you believe me?"
Xiao Hongchen looked at Ye Nanxiao with an expression that said, "See if I believe you or not."
"Okay, I'll be honest, I came here to find a black market to have some fun with," Ye Nanxiao said.
"The black market? You want rare metals?" Xiao Hongchen asked.
Ye Nanxiao didn't say anything, but just smiled, picked up the wine pot, and poured himself another cup of wine.
Meng Hongchen winked at Xiao Hongchen, a hint of threat in her eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you short of a guide?"
"Not available." Ye Nanxiao nodded.
Xiao Hongchen pointed at Meng Hongchen, then at himself, and said, "Fight me, and my sister will take you."
Can we go back to before the Spring Festival? I want to have another holiday!
