Ming Yu accompanied Ye Yiqing and Zhao Yang in the temporary imperial residence and talked for a long time. She told them everything that had happened in the capital before she received Ye Yiqing's permission to take Yan Xiaoliu out for a walk.
The sun was setting, and the streets that looked like a chessboard were shrouded in the sunset glow. The number of people on the streets didn't decrease. Since they had just moved here, many of the shops were incomplete and only had stalls set up outside.
It was early evening, and the streets looked more like a bustling market.
"We should go back," Yan Xiaoliu reminded Mingyu in a low voice. Yan Xiaoliu reminded Ming Yu in a low voice. It had been almost a day since they left Northern Border City, and her parents must have known that she was here by now.
"What's the rush? Didn't White Tiger go back already? He must've told my parents. Grandfather and grandmother won't let me leave so soon. Let's stay here for a few days, "Mingyu said with a smile.
There was food and water here, and she could learn how the emperor of Hua governed the country. There was no way she would go back to that empty city.
The man who was with her grandfather on the beach today must be the emperor of Hua. The fact that he was able to evacuate the people of Northern Border City to this place in such a short time was proof of his resourcefulness and wisdom. She might be the Heavenly Lady of Ning now, but it wasn't easy to unite four countries. She wanted to learn how to govern a country, but she had only learned how to eat and drink before. She had never seriously studied these things.
Yan Xiaoliu didn't know what Mingyu was thinking. He only thought that she was playing around. "If you like it here, we can come back in two days."
"There's no need for that. We'll just stay here for a few days," said Mingyu. "Didn't you say that there's a barrier here? Apart from the people, no monsters can enter. "
There was indeed a barrier set up by a divine general.
"Look, there's someone selling purple taro cakes over there. Let's go buy some. I'm hungry," said Mingyu with a smile.
Yan Xiaoliu looked at her helplessly. They had left after dinner, and she was clearly trying to change the topic. She didn't really want to eat.
"Come on, let's go." Mingyu grabbed his hand. She didn't want to listen to Yan Xiaoliu's nagging.
She knew her parents well. They would definitely come to find her.
Her mother would most likely come. She was like her mother, and her mother must be bored and wanted to come play.
"Give me a portion of Purple Taro Crisp," Ming Yu called out in a crisp voice.
"Little girl, there's only one left. I've already bought it for this auntie." The boss said to Ming Yu in embarrassment.
Ming Yu looked at the warm Purple Taro Crisp inside the oiled paper with some disappointment. She raised her head to look at the woman beside her.
Huh? This woman's temperament was really good. She was not old, at most in her thirties. She was dignified and beautiful, and her skin was very well maintained. Under the light, it was smooth and creamy. She was definitely not from an ordinary family. She should be the wife of a rich family.
He actually personally came out to buy the Purple Taro Crisp from the stall!
"You want to eat?" The beautiful woman wanted to laugh at Ming Yu's clear eyes. She extended the purple taro pastry in front of Ming Yu.
Ming Yu swallowed her saliva and looked at her with sparkling eyes. "You bought this first. You should eat it."
Everyone in Northern Border City had moved here, so the woman was probably from some aristocratic family. Ming Yu wasn't familiar with the people here, so he didn't want to talk about it.
"You look like you want to eat it. Here, it's for you." The woman kept her eyes on Ming Yu with a kind smile.
Ming Yu tilted her head and looked at her. She suddenly felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar. "But you want to eat it too."
If the woman didn't like the Purple Taro Crisp very much, she wouldn't have come to buy it herself.
The woman smiled. "It smells good, but I've never eaten it before."
"Huh?" Ming Yu was surprised.
"There are many things here that I've never seen before. Interesting." The woman said with a smile.
Ming Yu looked at her sympathetically. "You must have stayed in the mansion all day."
The woman raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment. "Indeed, almost."
"Then hurry up and eat it. The Purple Taro Crisp tastes good when it's hot. I used to eat it every day." Ming Yu suddenly felt that she didn't want to eat it at all. Instead, she wanted the woman to try it.
She felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from this woman, probably because she looked familiar.
The woman didn't eat the Purple Taro Crisp right away. Instead, she glanced at Yan Xiaoliu and recognized that he was already at the peak of the Grandmaster realm. "Young lady, why aren't you home yet?"
"I came out to broaden my horizons, just like Madam," Ming Yu said with a smile.
"Then … what's your name?" the woman asked with a smile.
Ming Yu felt that this woman had a natural confidence and dignity. She obviously hadn't made a living, but when she asked, it didn't seem abrupt at all. Instead, it made people want to get close to her.
"My name is Ming Yu," Ming Yu said with a clear voice. "Madam, did you come out alone?"
The woman looked at Ming Yu even more gently. "I … got separated from my maid. I'm looking for her."
"Then we'll help you look for her. There are many bad guys at night. You'll be in danger if you go alone," Ming Yu said.
"Okay." The smile in the woman's eyes grew wider.
Yan Xiaoliu looked at Ming Yu with a frown and then looked at the woman. He had a lot of doubts, but Ming Yu was already happily chatting with the woman. He didn't even have a chance to take her away.
How could he trust others so easily!
Although this woman seemed to be from a noble family, who knew what kind of person she was?
He didn't sense the aura of a warrior on her, but there were also vicious mortals.
Yan Xiaoliu followed behind them vigilantly, protecting Ming Yu at all times.
"… This is my first time here as well. Madam, where do you live? Why don't we send you home first?" Ming Yu said.
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "My home is quite far."
"Actually, it's not very safe at night. Madam, it's better not to go out at night in the future," Ming Yu continued.
"Why?" the beautiful woman asked.
Ming Yu looked at her and felt that she wasn't a timid person. She said in a low voice, "Although we've moved here, no one can guarantee that we won't encounter … demonic beasts."
The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows. "That makes sense. What about you? Aren't you afraid? "
"I'm afraid," Ming Yu said. "But I can't be afraid. I have to protect … a lot of people, so I'm not afraid."
"What a brave little girl," the beautiful woman said tenderly. "Don't worry. The world will be peaceful."
Ming Yu nodded vigorously. "I think so too."
Just as she finished speaking, she saw a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. Ming Yu called out, "Mother, mother …"
The beautiful woman squinted her eyes and looked up, just in time to see a beautiful face.
She really … hadn't changed at all.
She finally saw her again.
Xiaoyao.
