Chapter 379 Attending the Banquet
Xue Tong and Yin Hun finished their pies in Yandu City and saw a wet person walking in from outside the city.
The little fairy-like soul guide spoke first:
"That looks like Brother Lu Feng."
Xue Tong placed his hand over his eyes, and after a moment spoke in a deep voice:
"It's not just a 'seem,' it is!"
Lu Feng was so preoccupied with Xue Lan's words that he didn't even bother to dry his clothes. He entered Yandu City completely soaked.
The young man was so dazed that he didn't even notice that there were two people standing in front of him.
Until a wave of heat washed over me.
The young man looked up, somewhat dazed, and first saw the Soul Guide making hand seals. Then he saw Xue Tong, whose face was full of curiosity.
Lu Feng wasn't in a good mood, but he still maintained proper etiquette, and the young man bowed and greeted the two of them.
"Little Tong, the soul-guiding maiden."
Xue Tong sized up the young man before her, then carefully considered her words before speaking:
"Did Xue Lan hit you?"
The young man looked confused. He remained silent for a long time.
Xue Tong thought to herself, "No wonder the heavens sent down lightning to strike Xue Lan."
This is because the male lead has been beaten senseless and looks like a wooden statue.
The two sisters passed by the silent young man, and Xue Tong patted him on the shoulder:
"Eat and drink well in Yandu City. Don't think about revenge."
After saying this, the two walked away, leaving Lu Feng speechless and choked with emotion.
Xue Lan chose to stay in Yandu for one reason: there were still some things that hadn't been finalized with Zhu Qing, and it would be difficult to carry out the subsequent plans without clarifying them.
Secondly, because Seven Butterfly Valley opens two months in advance, and the Demon Market returned to Chonggu Village ahead of time, which Yin Shishi noticed was wrong and would result in a beating.
With this in mind, Xue Lan stayed in Yandu City for more than a month, her daily routine consisting of visiting Yandu City in the morning and Qingliu Pavilion in the afternoon.
In the morning, it's the capital city; in the afternoon, it's Qingliu Pavilion...
In the end, even the good-tempered Demon Lord of Green Willow got annoyed and completely banned people from entering Green Willow Pavilion.
Xue Lan went to see Qian Zheng, who told her that Zhu Qing was in seclusion.
Xue Lan: "Does she not want to talk to me?"
Having spent these past few days together, Qian Zheng's fear of Xue Lan's true identity had lessened considerably, and she smiled as she spoke:
"Wolf King, your face is so bad it would make a loud noise if it fell to the ground!"
Xue Lan: "Thank you for the compliment!"
The woman smiled as she calculated Xue Tong's current location with her fingertips.
If they won't keep me here, I'll go bother someone else.
Little did anyone know that this calculation would allow Xue Lan to detect two wisps of energy that were faintly intertwined with her own.
It was none other than the grandfather and grandson surnamed Ku whom we had met in Seven Butterfly Valley.
Lord Wolf suddenly remembered the small promise he had made to the grandfather and grandson, so he stopped bothering the Flower Tree Envoy in front of him.
With a flick of her wide sleeves, the woman ascended onto a cloud and headed towards the capital city of Yan.
In the city of Yandu, Xue Tong looked at the two small figures in front of him.
"A banquet is held for the birth of a junior in the clan? Great! I'll tell my elder sister." Xue Tong smiled and readily agreed to the request of the two people in front of her.
Xue Lan's voice echoed in my mind:
"Are you ready to make decisions for me now?"
Xue Tong rejected Xue Lan's accusations and retorted with:
"Shut up, you promised them back in Seven Butterfly Valley."
Xue Lan suffered a crushing defeat, and the woman appeared out of nowhere in front of Ku Shengsheng, startling the child.
But after recognizing who it was, the little boy quickly ran over and grabbed Xue Lan's hand:
"Sister, sister, you're here."
Xue Lan raised her hand and touched the little leaf on his head, smiling gently:
"We need to go see Sheng Sheng's little sister."
Ku Shengsheng laughed heartily, and his grandfather, Ku He, also had a smile on his face.
The old man spoke to Xue Lan:
"This fairy is still carrying the map I gave her before."
"It's still there."
The old man nodded slowly upon hearing this, his beard swaying slightly.
"That's good... Fairy, take out the map at midnight tomorrow. There will be markings on it to guide you to our clan's land."
"I still have some things to arrange in the clan, so I'll take my leave now."
Xue Lan nodded to the old man and watched them disappear into the street.
"Now that the two of them have returned from Seven Butterfly Valley, it means that Seven Butterfly Valley has been opened. Xue Lan, when shall we go back?"
Upon hearing Xue Tong's question, Xue Lan softly replied:
"How about the day after tomorrow? I'm going to a family banquet, which will also give Lin Su some time to pack."
Lin Su has been collecting a lot of materials for refining weapons in the demon market of Yandu these past few days. He needs to sort them all and take them back with him.
For Lin Su, who refused to use magic even at the cost of his life, saying it would damage the spiritual essence of things, it was a huge undertaking.
At this moment, Xue Tong raised her hand slightly to the side:
"Can I go?"
Hearing the girl's playful tone, Xue Lan couldn't hide the smile in her eyes:
"Sure, I'll treat it as bringing a little kid along."
A small soul-guide peeked out from behind Xue Tong:
"Your Majesty..."
Xue Lan could never resist the charm of a seductive woman:
"You go too, you go too."
"Yay!" The little girl suddenly rushed out from behind Xue Tong and jumped into Xue Lan's arms:
"Little Soul loves Lord Jun the most!"
Xue Lan deliberately wanted to tease her:
"How much do you like it?"
“It’s as far as from this end of the cycle of reincarnation to the other!” The little girl drew a circle in front of Xue Lan.
The cycle of reincarnation continues endlessly, without end.
Xue Lan was taken aback for a moment. Then she smiled softly:
"Your Majesty also likes Xiao Hun."
Since arriving in this world, Xue Tong has not attended any formal banquets, although she and Xue Lan were invited to Yu Niang's wedding banquet back then.
However, Xue Lan said that she was plagued by inner demons and would disrupt the festive atmosphere, so she did not go.
This time it's good, the banquet is being hosted not by mortals but by demons, so she can finally join in the fun.
Xue Tong's joy was still restrained, but the soul-summoning was different. The young girl began to frequently seek out Xue Lan from the time of You (5-7 PM).
"Your Majesty, is the time not yet up?"
Xue Lan, who was preparing the congratulatory gift, nodded upon hearing this:
"It's not time yet!"
The woman placed some items that would benefit the demon race's cultivation in a three-tiered wooden box.
At the bottom of this wooden box is a plant essence, which is beneficial for the cultivation of plant spirits.
The middle shelf contains pills that can enhance cultivation.
On top of it was an exquisite necklace, small enough to be barely bigger than Xue Lan's palm.
It's a magical artifact I made today in a rush to craft it for my poor little sister.
"Your Majesty..."
Yinhun looked at Xue Lan, her eyes sparkling:
"Can't Your Majesty speed up time?"
Xue Lan: ……
Under the strong insistence of the Soul Guide, Xue Lan had no choice but to set off an hour earlier, taking the two little ones to their destination.
The location on the map was not far from Yandu City. When Xue Lan arrived, she found a large patch of pale blue orchids blooming there.
The orchids emitted a beautiful deep blue glow in the night, like a dream.
In the very center of the orchid sea is an ancient cave dwelling.
Ku He arranged for someone to meet Xue Lan in the sea of orchids; it was a little girl with an orchid blooming in her hair.
"This must be the distinguished guest the clan chief mentioned. My name is Kuxin. Welcome to the transformation banquet of my Julan clan."
Xue Lan paused in her movements.
Wait, what race?
