When it was almost dusk, Lin Muyu and Qin Yin finally left the official road and came to a small town on the south side of the road for a short rest and supplies. There was no more road ahead, and a vast expanse of White Leaves Forest was waiting for them there.
White Leaves City was a small town on the eastern border of Red Mountain County. It was also the easternmost city among the four provinces of Yihe Country. White Leaves City was not considered rich, and it was only a small city with less than 100,000 people. The people in this city made a living by mining, fishing, and hunting. To the north of White Leaves Forest was a continuous mountain range called White Mountain. The mountain was silver in color, and it was a natural silver mine. Legend had it that out of 100,000 people in White Leaves City, 50,000 were miners, another 30,000 were hunters, and the remaining 20,000 were fishermen.
After entering the city, Lin Muyu and Qin Yin's attire did not attract much attention. Moreover, this kind of small town at the border would not put anyone on the wanted list, so they did not need to care about the disputes between the Empire and Yihe Country.
The largest inn in the city had been booked by the son of a rich mining family in White Leaves City for a banquet, so Lin Muyu and Qin Yin could only stay in another inn in White Leaves City called "Ten Thousand Miles Inn". As the name suggested, most of the people who came here were people who came from afar to look for treasures. In fact, the eastern part of White Leaves Forest was the "forbidden area" White Leaves Forest. Wild beasts ran rampant in White Leaves Forest, and there were also many spiritual beasts. Most of the spiritual stones needed by Yihe Country's practitioners came from White Leaves Forest.
After they settled in, they asked the innkeeper to feed the horses. It was already dark, and Lin Muyu still needed to replenish some other things. A sturdy tent. The strong wind in winter was very strong, and a tent that was not sturdy enough could not be used in the wild. In addition, they needed a pot and seasonings. Who knew how long they would stay in White Leaves Forest? In addition, they needed to buy some dry food, such as some air-dried steamed buns, to fill their stomachs, because they could not cook with an open fire at any time.
…
At night, the White Leaves Forest was bustling with noise and excitement. Red lanterns were hung high up in the sky.
Lin Muyu and Qin Yin walked side by side on the street, enjoying the rare peace. Qin Yin gently held onto Lin Muyu's wrist, her beautiful face full of smiles. She was intoxicated by the fragrance of the buns on the street.
Not far away was the most famous brothel in Whiteleaf City. A group of gorgeously dressed courtesans were trying to attract customers by the roadside, and a brothel keeper was holding a fan in her hand, shouting to the passing customers, "Hey, customer, come in and have a cup of hot wine. The wind is biting cold, and you must be tired from the journey. Our girls here are proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and other arts. Their figures are slim, and their dancing skills are excellent. Come and take a look. Our girls are not only good at dancing, but they are also well-rounded and considerate. If you don't believe me, you can come and touch them to see if they are real or not! Hey, handsome, you must be tired from hunting. Come in and have some fun … "
The brothel keeper's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Muyu. She almost said that this young master was free.
However, Qin Yin held onto Lin Muyu's hand tightly. Her beautiful eyes swept across the courtesans, full of wariness, as if she was afraid that these prostitutes would snatch Lin Muyu away.
On the side, a few mercenaries carrying battle axes and giant swords entered the brothel with smiles on their faces. One of them, a one-eyed man, chuckled, "It's rare for us to meet a woman, so what if we get drunk for a night? Brothers, let's enjoy ourselves to the fullest tonight. Brothel keeper, get us all the prettiest girls here!"
"Alright, sir. Please wait for a moment, the girls will be here soon."
Lin Muyu glanced at the brothel from the corner of her eyes and couldn't help but snort, "Shallow …"
Qin Yin, on the other hand, pouted. "Hmph, you're still talking about it. If it wasn't me, but you, Commander Feng, Zhang Wei, Situ Sen, and the others had come, wouldn't you guys have gone in to have some fun?"
"Of course not, am I that kind of person?" Lin Muyu said righteously, "I've never been to such a place. Xiao Yin, don't think of me as those people!"
"Hmph, is that so?"
Qin Yin squinted her beautiful eyes and smiled, "I don't believe that my Brother Yu is so upright. You and General Feng have been to such places in the capital. Don't think that I don't know, my eyes are very wide."
"Ah?"
Lin Muyu was shocked, "I … I … I only went to such places to drink. Xiao Yin, don't think too much. Only Brother Feng would do something like hugging a courtesan and dancing …"
"Is that so? Hmph, I'll believe you this time. "
Looking at Lin Muyu's frightened look, Qin Yin couldn't help but feel funny. She suddenly stopped, opened her arms to hug him, and whispered in Lin Muyu's ear, "Big idiot, is Xiao Yin such an open-minded person? Although I don't know the rules of your hometown, in our Qin Empire, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so Xiao Yin can rest assured that you and Xiao Xi will go to Qihai Province together. But … you have to remember that Xiao Yin is narrow-minded. I can only tolerate Xiao Xi. I can't tolerate other women. "
Lin Muyu couldn't help being moved. She reached out and hugged Qin Yin's slender waist. While secretly admiring the feeling, she said, "Don't worry. In my hometown, although there is no longer a practice of having three wives and four concubines, Xiao Yin is so good that I feel that I have everything with you. My heart can't accommodate too many people."
"Is that so? Then what about Xiao Xi? "Qin Yin's beautiful eyes were filled with slyness.
"As for Xiao Xi …" Lin Muyu's eyes flickered. "Let's see how she performs …"
"Hmph, you womanizer. How dare you speak so righteously!" Qin Yin laughed and scolded him, waving her fists, wanting to hit him.
Lin Muyu hurriedly dodged. A man and a woman chased each other on the streets of Whiteleaf City. Qin Yin's bell-like laughter seemed to affect the mood of the people who were hurrying along, making people feel that this small city at the border was actually in the mood of spring.
…
"Achoo …"
Inside Ze Tian Palace, Feng Jixing, who was dressed in a white robe, was sitting there with a spiritual brush in his hand. He was carefully rubbing the Heavenly Book model that Qin Yin had left behind. After a sudden sneeze, he frowned and said, "Who's talking bad about me? It's most likely that bastard Zhang Wei. I only banned him from drinking wine, but he actually dares to talk bad about me behind my back. He's really insolent!"
Beside the throne, Tang Xiaoxi had already fallen asleep with her head bent over the table. The imperial jade seal in front of her was glowing faintly.
In her sleep, Tang Xiaoxi dreamed of spring and flowers blooming. She dreamed that there were actually roasted chickens on the trees. She cheered excitedly as she picked the fruits and ate the chicken wings. As she ate and ate, she suddenly woke up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and realized that it was just a dream. She couldn't help but feel disappointed and said, "So it's just a dream …"
Feng Jixing raised his head and looked at her. Seeing that she was very disappointed, he smiled and said, "Princess Xi, did you dream of Yu? Why are you so disappointed? You must have dreamed of that brat, Yu. "
"No, I dreamed of food …" Tang Xiaoxi's pretty face blushed.
Feng Jixing was silent and actually had nothing to say.
…
"Boss, how much is this wok?" Lin Muyu asked.
The chubby boss walked forward, and a sinister smile immediately appeared on his face. "Young Master, you have a good eye. This wok is a steel wok made by a skilled craftsman from the Western Regions. It won't rust no matter how many times you cook it. It's very hard, and it's two Jin Yin coins for one. If you include the stand, it's three Jin Yin coins."
"This is a steel wok?"
Lin Muyu was shocked. "An ordinary iron wok is at most ten Jin Yin coins, but you're selling this steel wok for two Jin Yin coins? Who are you trying to fool?!"
"Young Master, you don't know."
The boss said, "This wok conducts heat quickly, and the workmanship is exquisite. This kind of steel was originally used to forge high-class knight swords from the Yihe Empire. It won't bend even after a hundred times. If you don't believe me, Young Master, try it. If you can bend the handle of this wok, I'll give it to you for free. If you can't bend it, you must buy this wok."
"Is that so?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh in his heart. There was a path to heaven, but you didn't take it. Instead, you barged into hell!
Qin Yin smiled at the side and didn't say anything. She just watched Lin Muyu pretend.
Swoosh!
An invisible King's Fighting Flame appeared between the fingers of Lin Muyu's left hand. He lightly grabbed the handle of the steel wok and exerted a little force. The handle immediately bent.
"Oh my god!" The boss was dumbfounded. "This … this is impossible. Even the General of the Military Governor's Office can't bend it. You actually …"
Lin Muyu quickly bent the handle of the steel wok again. He lifted the wok and took a stand. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your gift, boss. I will always remember your kindness!"
The boss was speechless. He just watched as this' rascal 'took away the steel wok and the stand.
He looked up at the sky and sighed. "You brat, how dare you take away my steel wok. Don't be fooled by the pretty girl behind you. I curse you to be impotent for the rest of your life …"
…
On the street, Lin Muyu happily carried the steel wok and suddenly shivered. He couldn't help but say, "I keep feeling like someone is cursing me. I wonder which bastard is it."
Qin Yin smiled and said, "Yu, look over there. Someone is setting up a stall!"
"Is that so?"
The two of them quickly went over to watch. They saw three to five people surrounded by the crowd. These people were all wearing soft armor and holding steel sabers. There was a mercenary emblem on their shoulders. They were mercenaries who didn't have enough money to travel and were selling their skills here.
Buzz, buzz, buzz …
One of the mercenaries brandished his saber in a mighty manner. True energy was enshrouded in it. Lin Muyu could easily identify his strength. He was at the third level of the Earth Realm and was able to defeat an elite. Tsk tsk, it was rare to see such an elite in such a small city.
Right at this moment, an elegant young master holding an iron fan sneered and said, "Showy but impractical. Useless."
This handsome young master had a jade-like face and was very handsome. However, the hostility in his eyes was very strong. His cultivation shouldn't be low. There was milky white air flowing around him. He was an elite with Battle Armor. He was at least at the second level of the Heaven Realm!
Moreover, Lin Muyu could clearly sense the cultivation of a middle-aged man in plain clothes behind this handsome young master. Although he suppressed the fluctuations of his aura, Lin Muyu could still sense the domain power he released. He was actually a Sanctuary. Who were these people?
Right at this moment, the middle-aged Sanctuary said in a low voice, "Young master, let's go. We're setting off for the White Leaves Forest tomorrow. There's nothing to see with these small tricks. Let's rest early."
"Okay."
The young master turned around and smiled. "Will father's men arrive tomorrow morning?"
"Yes!"
"That's good. Let's go back."
"Yes!"
…
These people didn't notice the hunter siblings, Lin Muyu and Qin Yin, because they looked too inconspicuous. Moreover, Lin Muyu and Qin Yin had a profound mental cultivation method to hide their auras.
"Who is this person? He looks familiar … "Qin Yin said.
Lin Muyu frowned and clenched her fists. She leaned close to Qin Yin's ear and said in a low voice, "There's only one person who proclaims himself king in the Yihe Nation, Qin Yi. If I'm not mistaken, this young master should be the son of Qin Yi, one of the Seven Marshals, Qin Huan. Otherwise, why would they send a Sanctuary to protect him?"
"Qin Huan?"
Qin Yin frowned and didn't say anything else.
She actually met Qin Yi's son in White Leaves City. Enemies really were bound to meet!
