There was no way Miao Yi would leave the people of Raincloud Manor alone!
After leaving the storeroom, Miao Yi appeared in front of the small house on the rooftop in the middle of the day and knocked on the door. "Lady Boss!"
"Come in!" The Lady Boss's voice rang out, and the door swung open.
The Lady Boss was sitting cross-legged on the couch when she saw Miao Yi enter at this time. Miao Yi stood there quietly and looked at her, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
The Lady Boss felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She put her feet down and stood up, then asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Miao Yi hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly said, "I have to go."
The Lady Boss's smile immediately turned stiff. "Where?"
"Back!" Since he had already said it, there was no point in dragging it out. "Back to my Raincloud Manor."
"Why are you going back then? Is the Celestial Nation summoning you back? "
"No, it's the same thing as last time. The thing I was most worried about still happened …" Miao Yi had already told her about Granny Tao's death. Now, he was analyzing the situation that Traversing Water Palace was about to face.
The Lady Boss sat by the coffee table, resting her chin on her elbow as she quietly watched Miao Yi pace back and forth, explaining the situation in a rhythmic manner.
This was the first time she had seen Miao Yi in a different state. This was something she had never seen on Miao Xiao 'er, who used to fetch her bathwater all day long. He was like a tiger that had smelled blood, and the aura of a lord was unmistakable. His clear mind and serious attitude left her mesmerized. This was the side of him that made her feel at ease. The sneaky Niu Er always gave off an exaggerated and unsettling feeling, as if he was a thief that had come to steal something.
Only now did she realize how adaptable this guy was. He was able to adapt to whatever kind of environment he was in.
After listening to Miao Yi's analysis, the Lady Boss stood up and asked, "You said that you wanted to take me away from this place. You also said that this place is so desolate. Have you always hated this place?"
Miao Yi shook his head. "You're overthinking it. If it weren't for the fact that this place is so dangerous, I would actually love it here. This place is not as strict as the officials. I like the atmosphere of equality here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to drink with you, and things wouldn't have happened afterwards. "
Obviously, he was referring to sleeping with her! The Lady Boss rolled her eyes charmingly. Then, with a hint of reluctance, he said, "Do you really have to leave? Can't I stay?"
"I can't bear to part with you!" Miao Yi smiled bitterly.
The Lady Boss loved to hear this, and her eyes immediately became infatuated. She said impulsively, "Then don't leave. It's fine if you don't want to be the Manor Head. Stay here, I'll support you! "
Miao Yi gently shook his head and said, "You know it's not realistic! Yes, you've raised me, and you're definitely able to give me more than what I can receive as the Manor Head. But in the end, no matter how high my cultivation is, I'm still no match for the Tempest Tavern. I'll forever be an employee of the Tempest Tavern, and I won't be able to fulfill my promise to take you away. Also, there's no way I'm going to abandon the people in Raincloud Manor. If I'm so selfish as to only care about myself and not care about my friends and family, I'll never be able to survive. So what if his cultivation was high? What was the difference between that and rotten wood? What's the point of us being together then? Why should I take you away from this place? Wouldn't it be better for us to continue hiding here and sneaking around? "
At this point, the Lady Boss knew she couldn't keep him here anymore, and she also knew that it wasn't realistic to keep him here. However, she still forced a smile and joked, "It looks like I'm still not charming enough to attract you."
Miao Yi smiled and said, "I'm going back for you as well!"
"Dead people, you only know how to say nice things." She shot him a charming look. The Lady Boss calmed herself down and furrowed her brows. "Do you think the Celestial Nation Chamber of Commerce will agree to this?"
Miao Yi nodded. "That's why I'm here to ask for your help."
"How?"
"Someone saw through my identity."
"Even if someone did, that's not a reason for you to leave Flowing Clouds Dune Sea."
"Someone saw through my identity and tried to take my life. I had no choice but to leave Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. Isn't that reason enough?"
"You're saying that I saw through your identity and tried to kill you?"
"No! It's not like the Tempest Tavern to kill me. I'm afraid that the Chamber of Commerce might suspect something. Huang Qingtian, one of the Flowing Clouds Dune Sea's Duo Braves, has a subordinate named Ren Xuanming. I have a grudge against this Ren Xuanming, so it's only natural that he would want to harm me. On the other hand, you have a good relationship with Huang Qingtian as well. There was no way he could stay in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea any longer. His only option was to escape! At that time, I won't have to go through the trouble of explaining to An Zhengfeng and can directly return to my territory. "
The Lady Boss was stunned. "There's no way An Zhengfeng will let you escape without an explanation. Even if you escape back to your own territory, he will still come looking for you to explain. Since you've already prepared an excuse, why are you afraid of explaining?"
Miao Yi chuckled and said, "You might not know this, but I've obtained quite a few items from the Flowing Clouds Dune Sea Chamber of Commerce over the years. Now that I've failed my mission just like that, I'm worried that An Zhengfeng will forcefully take them back in a fit of rage. As long as I return to the borders of the Fifth Earthly Branch, I won't have anything to fear. If he wants an explanation, he can just come to the Fifth Earthly Branch and look for me. I can slowly explain things to him. I'm under his control in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, but as long as I return to the borders of the Fifth Earthly Branch, I'll be the Manor Head. No matter what An Zhengfeng does, as a member of the Chamber of Commerce, he won't dare to steal from a local power. If he does, it'll be the same as slapping the face of the Fifth Earthly Branch's Overlord, Yue Tianbo. With so many subordinates watching, there's no way Yue Tianbo will let this slide! "
The Lady Boss was speechless for a moment. Then, she rolled her eyes and said, "You seem pretty good at this sort of thing. You've already prepared a plan to run away with your belongings so quickly."
"Let's not talk about this. Let's discuss the details …"
After the two of them had settled on the details, the Lady Boss pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I wonder when we'll meet again after this!"
"Don't you have to go out every year? You can look for me when you pass by the Celestial Nation."
The Lady Boss smiled without saying a word. 'As the Lady Boss, what's wrong with me going to look for you every year? It's not appropriate for me to meet with your status in the Celestial Nation. Besides, if you run away like this, I won't be able to meet you openly. At most, I'll have to sneak in. And I still have to consider the opinions of my entourage. '
"Leave something behind for me. I'll keep it as a memento!" The Lady Boss looked at him with a gentle smile.
"I don't have anything with me either!" Miao Yi took off his storage ring and handed it over. "Take whatever you like!"
This was an absolute trust in her! However, the Lady Boss shook her head and pushed him away. Then, she reached for the rope around his neck and pulled out the dark green bead from his collar. "I see that you've never left this thing. You've always worn it close to your body. It must be very important to you. Are you willing to leave it behind for me?"
At this point, Miao Yi seemed a little helpless. He sighed and said, "I'd like to leave it with you. But ever since I put it on, I've never taken it off. Because I can't take it off. Just as well. With your cultivation, you can try and see if you can take it off. "
"You can't take it off?" The Lady Boss was a little confused. It looked like an ordinary rope with a bead strung on it. Why couldn't she take it off? She immediately went closer to try and figure out how to take it off.
Being so close to her, right before his eyes, smelling her enchanting scent, looking at her enchanting face, as well as her alluring curves, Miao Yi's heart skipped a beat. He slowly reached out to support her slender waist.
'Smack!' The Lady Boss immediately slapped the back of his hand. "Don't touch me!"
Retracting his hand in pain, Miao Yi smiled bitterly. "Lady Boss, you really have a heart of stone. You're about to leave. Can't I just touch you a little?"
"I have a heart of stone? You're going to leave just like that? Who's the one with a heart of stone?! " The Lady Boss bit her lip and glared at him with her bright eyes. "Don't think I'll soften my heart with these words of farewell. If you really want me … I'll allow you to do as you please whenever you come to see me. Before that, don't even think of touching a single hair on my head!"
Her words made Miao Yi's heart clench. He remained silent!
The Lady Boss bit her lip and lowered her head. She continued to untie the rope, but no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't untie it. She couldn't help but ask, "Can I break it?"
Miao Yi sighed. "If you can, then break it. I can't break it no matter what I do."
The Lady Boss didn't believe him. She immediately grabbed the rope with both hands and pulled with all her might. Miao Yi grimaced in pain as his head swayed from side to side. Even after pulling for a while, the rope still didn't show any signs of breaking. In the end, she even summoned a golden dagger that glowed with a purple light. She placed it against Miao Yi's neck and invoked her arts to slice it.
A Fourth Grade Transcendent Artifact? This was something that could only be refined by killing a Golden Lotus expert. Miao Yi's heart skipped a beat as he watched. "Lady Boss, you … you have to be careful. If you cut my neck, I'll be dead. Then I won't even have the chance to touch you anymore."
"Be quiet! Squat down and I'll try! "The Lady Boss immediately pressed Miao Yi down, then grabbed the rope and started to slice it.
No matter how hard she tried, it was useless! The Lady Boss had no choice but to stop. She stared at the necklace in shock. Not only did she not manage to cut it, but she couldn't even leave a mark on it with such a sharp dagger. She couldn't help asking, "Niu Er, what is that thing on your neck?"
Miao Yi touched his neck and stood up. He heaved a sigh of relief. His neck was fine. He shrugged and said, "What else could it be? It's just a necklace … I don't know what it is either. I tried everything I could, but I couldn't get it off. In the end, I just gave up.
The Lady Boss knocked on his head with the dagger and said, "You don't even know what it is, and you dare to put it on your neck? Do you think I'm an idiot? Your head is so big. How did you put it on? Don't tell me that your cultivation has already reached the Demonic Assimilation realm, and you can change your head at will. "
Miao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "It was open at the time. I only tied the knot after I put it on. I don't know what kind of knot I randomly tied, but I just couldn't untie it."
"Even if you can't untie it, it shouldn't be impossible to untie it!" The Lady Boss exclaimed, "Where did you get this thing?"
