The atmosphere on the street suddenly froze.
When the pedestrians saw this scene, they didn't dare to stay for long and took a detour. Lu An, who was standing behind Yu Yan, saw this scene and narrowed his eyes. Without a doubt, the so-called messy thing was referring to him.
However, Lu An didn't have any reaction. It was obvious that the other party was Yu Yan's sister, and it seemed that the two didn't have a good relationship.
Sure enough, when Yu Yan saw the other party, her originally happy face turned gloomy. She coldly snorted and said, "Sure enough, life is fickle. I was so happy just now, but I didn't expect to encounter bad luck in the blink of an eye!"
"You!" The other party was obviously angry. As an elder sister, how could she put down her face after being insulted by her younger sister? She directly raised her hand to slap Yu Yan's face, but Yu Yan sneered and didn't even dodge.
Pa!
The other party's hand stopped, but it wasn't Yu Yan who did it, nor was it Lu An. It was the other party who did it.
"Eldest Miss, you can't!" The person who stopped her said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, the woman's eyes turned cold and she shook off her companion's hand. That's right, she couldn't hit Yu Yan. Yu Yan was her father's favorite child. If she really hit her younger sister, her father would definitely punish her heavily, and it would also affect her position in the family.
"Good sister, let's wait and see." The corner of the woman's mouth raised into a sneer, and she turned to leave with everyone.
After the obstacle in front of her disappeared, although Yu Yan wasn't bullied, she was obviously in a bad mood. She didn't even have the interest to talk to Lu An. Along the way, Yu Yan lowered her head and walked forward. It was obvious that her body was filled with anger.
Seeing this, Lu An thought for a moment. After all, the other party was the one who accepted him, so he asked, "Second Miss, was that Eldest Miss just now?"
"En." Yu Yan snorted and said, "She's called Yu Zi."
"Then why …" Lu An probed.
"Why else? Because she felt that I would be an obstacle to her position!" Yu Yan coldly said, "Although my current strength isn't as good as hers, my talent is higher than hers. In addition, my father dotes on me, and it's very likely that he will pass the position of the family head to me in the future. Before I was born, she was the most favored by my father, but after I was born, she felt threatened and thought that I took what belonged to her. "
"…"
Lu An couldn't help but have a headache when he heard this. Sure enough, having too many children wasn't a good thing. Mutual suspicion would only lead to discord in the family.
"Up ahead is my mansion." Yu Yan no longer had much interest in her words. She led Lu An towards the door. Lu An, who was following behind Yu Yan, couldn't help but feel a little speechless when he saw how big the mansion was. Moreover, there were indeed many servants in the mansion, and most of them were women. This was also to make it easier to serve Yu Yan.
Yu Yan didn't say anything more to Lu An. Instead, she called her housekeeper and asked, "See if there's any work in the house that hasn't been done. Let him stay and work."
The housekeeper immediately nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, Second Miss."
After saying that, Yu Yan left and headed deeper into the mansion, leaving only the housekeeper and Lu An standing in the courtyard.
This female housekeeper's name was Chen Hong. She had been following Yu Yan ever since she set up her own residence. She was loyal and devoted, and managed everything very well. She looked at Lu An from head to toe and shook her head when she saw how young Lu An was.
"It seems that you can't do any work that is too tiring." Chen Hong said, "Although we don't have enough people to do laundry, most of the people in the mansion are women. It would be inconvenient for you to do laundry. What else can you do … …"
Chen Hong fell into deep thought, while Lu An quietly stood in the same place and waited, without speaking. In fact, it didn't matter to him what he did, as long as it didn't take up too much time. After all, he still had to cultivate.
Finally, after a few breaths, Chen Hong suddenly thought of something and said to Lu An, "Come with me!"
Lu An nodded and quietly followed behind Chen Hong to the eastern edge of the mansion. After passing through two courtyards, the two of them quickly arrived at the courtyard closest to the edge. Further west was the street. In this courtyard, in addition to a simple thatched hut, there were also four strange beasts that looked like wild leopards.
These four strange beasts had the strength of Rank Four, but at this moment, they were trapped inside the iron fence and were unable to escape. Moreover, these strange beasts had many wounds on their bodies. Moreover, many of the wounds had already festered. It was obvious that they had been beaten up for a long time. When Chen Hong and Lu An appeared, the four strange beasts immediately revealed deep hostility in their eyes. They even let out low growls.
"These four flying leopards were caught two months ago," Chen Hong said. "Second Miss wants to train them to be mounts, but they are really wild and difficult to tame. No matter how hard you beat them, they refuse to obey. You are responsible for feeding them and taking care of them every day. You don't have to worry about anything else. "
As she spoke, Chen Hong pointed to the simple wooden hut at the side and said, "The food for them is piled up in the hut. There is also a compartment in the hut. You can live there!"
Live here?
Lu An was stunned, but that was all. He said to Chen Hong, "Okay."
Seeing that Lu An didn't object, Chen Hong was indeed a little surprised. After all, living with strange beasts obviously didn't treat humans as humans. However, since this kid didn't object, she didn't care. She waved her hand and left.
Chen Hong quickly left the courtyard, leaving only Lu An and the four flying leopards in the courtyard. This was a very remote place. Aside from the streets, there was only grass. There was no one living here at all. Lu An was also very happy with the peace and quiet. This way, he could cultivate better.
He turned to look at the four flying leopards. The four flying leopards immediately glared at Lu An and let out low growls. Lu An knew that tigers and leopards were extremely difficult to tame. They had very strong dignity. Even if they died, they wouldn't be willing to become mounts for others. They didn't even have a sense of hierarchy among their species. They competed and killed each other. This was also the reason why two tigers couldn't live on the same mountain.
Faced with the four flying leopards' warning growls, Lu An didn't care. He walked to the wooden hut at the side. When he opened the door, he saw that half of the hut was filled with a large amount of food. It was obvious that this was man-made feed. The smell was very strong. There was a small compartment on the right side of the hut. Lu An opened the compartment's door. There was only room for a bed inside. The so-called bed was just a wooden plank. There wasn't even a bed.
However, Lu An didn't care about this. What surprised him was that this place was very clean. This made him very satisfied. He quickly cleaned up the dust in the hut. Looking at the pile of food, he pondered for a moment. He took out a large pile of food and walked out of the hut towards the four flying leopards.
The four flying leopards were stunned when they saw this. Their eyes, which were originally growling, were suddenly filled with desire. They were too hungry. Seeing the food, their eyes lit up.
Lu An walked to the fence. Without any hesitation, he threw the food in through the gap above the fence. The food fell heavily to the ground. This food was enough to fill the four flying leopards.
The four flying leopards' eyes turned red when they saw so much food. They immediately pounced on it and tore at it. Lu An looked at the four flying leopards. His eyes narrowed. He turned and walked towards the wooden hut.
Humans and strange beasts were essentially the same. No one was more advanced than the other.
Creak — —
Closing the door of the wooden hut and the compartment, Lu An sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes. Six days of mental tension made him very tired. However, he didn't choose to rest. Instead, he immediately adjusted the energy in his body to cultivate.
With the Invisible Immortal Ring, as long as he didn't release his energy, he didn't have to worry about his cultivation being exposed. His cultivation method was very simple. It was to circulate the energy in his body over and over again. When the energy in his body returned to its original smoothness, it meant that he had completely adapted to the gravity here. He could then return to the strength of a late stage level seven.
Time passed by slowly. Very soon, this day had passed. However, there was no distinction between day and night in the underground world. After all, there was no sun or moon here. Time could only be determined through artificial means.
The next day, a quarter past seven in the morning.
Lu An cultivated for an entire night without rest. Even though the energy circulation in his body had exhausted him, his entire body was aching, and even his meridians were trembling. In Lu An's opinion, cultivation was to persevere to the limit before breaking through it. Unless his body couldn't take it anymore and collapsed, his willpower would never give up first.
Lu An felt that he could still persevere for a while. After a while, he could still persevere. As Lu An was working hard on his cultivation, the sound of footsteps suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard. The footsteps were heading towards the courtyard.
Lu An was startled. After thinking for a while, he withdrew from his cultivation. He opened his eyes and looked out through the gap in the wooden hut. He just happened to see a middle-aged man entering the courtyard.
"I have to train these four idiots again!" The man was very impatient. He said unwillingly, "After starving you for seven days, let's see if you dare to be disobedient!"
