Chapter 369 Peach Blossom Fairy of Yandu
Son of Destiny, so terrifying!
Xue Lan once again personally experienced the terrifying nature of Lu Feng's fortune.
The woman slowly turned her head toward Lu Feng.
Lu Feng hid behind Yan Chengxue, and looked at Xue Lan as if she were some kind of monster.
Xue Lan: Hey!
Was she being looked down upon?
Today she'll show Lu Feng what it means to be poor but have a strong will.
The woman gracefully flicked her sleeve and turned to look at the beautiful flower fairy sister in front of her.
Xue Lan smiled sweetly.
"Sister, he is my friend..."
"Don't rush to refuse."
The woman in the pink dress smiled and gestured for Xue Lan to be quiet, then opened one hand in front of Xue Lan.
Xue Lan was a little confused: "Sister, what is this...?"
"Fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones."
Xue Lan's brain seemed to have been hit by a critical strike of 50,000 points in an instant, losing the ability to think independently, and she could only stammer out:
"How much... how much?"
The flower fairy's beautiful eyes held a smile: "That was fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones, but you're so cute..."
The woman pointed in Lu Feng's direction: "Sixty thousand spirit stones, I want that young master."
Lu Feng watched as Xue Lan slowly turned her head, a strange smile appearing on her face.
Yan Chengxue turned her head slightly to look at Lu Feng behind her, her voice containing three parts pity and seven parts schadenfreude:
"You're finished. That demon clan fellow has given too much. Xue Lan is probably going to sell you out."
Lu Feng felt his life suddenly turn gloomy.
The young man's mind raced as he desperately tried to think of a way to escape.
Why don't you kneel down in front of Xue Lan right now and beg him not to sell you...?
As the young man's thoughts raced, a blurry scene suddenly appeared in his mind.
It was a small earthen courtyard. A woman dressed in tattered clothes knelt in the courtyard, clutching the man's trouser leg, pleading desperately.
"Master, I beg you, master..."
"I can work, I can work, don't sell Sanhua to Yihonglou."
A piercing sound echoed in the courtyard as little Lu Feng was pushed from behind by the woman.
Go stop your aunt.
The woman's voice sounded wooden and stiff; Lu Feng had never detected any other emotion in it before.
But now he could hear it: beneath the woman's wooden voice was a suppressed sob, so low it sounded like a roar.
Little Lu Feng walked up to the woman who was prostrate at the man's feet:
"Auntie...don't cry!"
"what!"
The heart-wrenching cries echoed throughout the courtyard and even the entire Lu Family Village.
It's like a lingering lament in Lu Feng's memory, one that he can't shake off.
Lu Feng's aunt was a simple, honest farm woman. She was tall and strong and worked in the fields all year round. She was a good daughter-in-law that everyone in the farming family envied.
However, she became pregnant three times but did not give birth to a son.
Of the three daughters, the eldest died of illness, and the second daughter was kicked to death by Lu Feng's uncle.
The youngest of the three-flowered girls was sold to Yihonglou, which is very, very far away.
He died of illness at the young age of six.
The woman, who had toiled her whole life, drowned herself in a river east of Lujia Village the day after she heard the news, taking with her a lock of hair that her three daughters had kept while they were alive...
The sound of weeping lingered in his ears. Lu Feng pulled himself out of his memories and saw Xue Lan's gray eyes.
How similar!
The young man gave a hoarse chuckle.
The inescapable fate of being bought and sold that I witnessed as a child many years ago has finally befallen me.
In front of Xue Lan, she felt like the helpless woman from her memories of many years ago, with no room for resistance.
He began to recall his mother's hoarse voice again.
That extremely low growl, that hoarse sob...
You must be very disappointed, very disappointed that the child you raised with such care is a cold-blooded person just like his father.
As Lu Feng obediently lowered his head, quietly accepting his fate, he heard Xue Lan's firm voice in his ear:
"Sister, Xue Lan was just joking. This young master is Xue Lan's friend. He's not for sale."
The woman wore an apologetic smile, her head slightly lowered, looking incredibly obedient.
The woman with the peach blossom in her hair squinted slightly: "No need to be so polite, it's just business anyway."
As the woman spoke, she moved even closer to Xue Lan, her warm, sweet fragrance enveloping Xue Lan completely.
"If a deal falls through, is the transaction still valid?"
Xue Tong, standing to the side, was speechless and choked with emotion.
Friendship? You think you can still have a friendship after just a few words?
"Your name is Xue Lan?"
Xue Lan nodded: "Exactly."
The female demon winked gently at Xue Lan: "My name is He Yaocai."
"It is a peach tree."
Xue Lan thought to herself, "I knew you were a peach tree all along."
The woman's gray eyes darted around, and she clasped her hands in a respectful bow to He Yaocai in front of her.
Xue Lan's voice was extremely respectful:
"This junior greets Senior Tao He."
As Xue Lan bowed, the people behind her also bent their backs in response.
He Yaocai looked at Xue Lan in front of her, a charming smile appearing between her beautiful eyebrows and eyes.
Her fair fingers gently tucked Xue Lan's disheveled hair behind her ear.
"What? Did you think I, senior, was here in Yandu City guarding you?"
The woman's voice carried a hint of grievance as she spoke, her pink nails and soft fingertips gently touching Xue Lan's chin, forcing him to lift his head.
Wu Yijun and Yan Chengxue exchanged a glance, and both made subtle movements behind the scenes.
Xue Lan's chin was held by the beautiful older woman, and a harmless smile appeared on her face:
"Of course not, my sister and I just met by chance."
He Yaocai looked into Xue Lan's lifeless eyes:
"We've only just met, so tell me, is she pretty?"
When the woman asked that question, Xue Lan didn't react much, but Xue Tong exploded.
"Why does every good-looking villain ask this question?"
"If you're good-looking, your whole family is good-looking. Is it okay if you spiral upwards to heaven?"
Xue Tong: You're the prettiest one. Let go of my host.
"Don't worry, she won't kill me."
Xue Tong couldn't stand Xue Tong's nagging any longer, so she replied softly in her mind.
"There are eight great envoys in Yandu, divided into four trees and four flowers. The one in front of me is Fairy Tao He of the Spring Tree position. She is not a bad person."
Xue Tong was finally relieved.
"senior……"
Xue Lan's voice was filled with a helpless smile:
"My neck is a little sore."
He Yaocai then released Xue Lan: "She is indeed an interesting junior. It is truly fate that we met by chance."
"At midnight two days later, my master will invite you."
The gentle female voice reached the ears of the six people present, causing them to exchange bewildered glances.
So this is what a chance encounter is like among demons?
He also said that he did not deliberately wait here.
"It's fate that we met by chance. Let me invite you all to have a drink." He Yaocai winked.
Four words simultaneously surfaced in the minds of Xue Lan and the others:
"Can't escape!"
In a small tavern in Yandu City, Xue Lan and her companions sat on either side of a long table arranged by He Yaocai. Several exquisite wine pots were placed on the table.
He Yaocai sat next to Xue Lan, holding a small white porcelain wine cup in her hand, and pointed at Lu Feng.
The woman's voice was full of regret: "Really not selling?"
Xue Lan shook her head with a wry smile: "As I said before, it was just a joke."
A few petals fluttered down from the peach blossom branch in He Yao's hair, and the woman gave Xue Lan a coquettish scolding:
"You just talk nonsense in the street, making me happy for nothing."
Tao Yao rested her chin on one hand, her beautiful eyes blinking twice at Xue Lan:
"I originally planned to buy him and name him Xuan Shiqi."
Xue Lan's smile froze, and she carefully chose her words:
"Xuan...seventeen?"
He Yaocai nodded: "Yes, yes! There are sixteen in total now, and they are all the people I cherish most."
Xue Lan smiled gently, thinking to herself, "Senior, you're quite sharp-minded."
The top of the hill was full of people.
He Yaocai drank the wine in her glass in one gulp:
"I wonder if you young friends have come to Yandu on important business?"
Xue Lan immediately smiled and replied, "I received guidance from Senior Qian in Yunchuan County and have come here to seek a healing technique for this junior."
He Yaocai slowly waved her hand:
"That's not what I want to know. Why did you come to Siyaochuan?"
This time, it was Yan Chengxue who responded. The senior disciple of the great sect spoke flawlessly, recounting the story that the group had prepared before coming to Yandu.
Some of it was also polished on-site.
It can be said to be watertight.
If Xue Lan weren't sitting next to the great demon and it wasn't inconvenient for her, she would definitely applaud Yan Chengxue.
He Yaocai clearly didn't believe Yan Chengxue's explanation, and the woman looked at Xue Lan beside her:
"Really?"
Xue Lan nodded quickly: "That's true."
"Then let's drink."
Xue Tong looked at the small wine glass, the wine inside was an exceptionally clear pink, looking just like peach petals.
As the girl carefully picked up the wine glass and brought it to her lips, it was blocked by a somewhat pale hand.
Xue Tong glared at Xue Lan: "What are you doing?"
Xue Lan smiled and said, "Aren't you underage?"
Xue Tong was speechless and obediently put down her wine glass.
Xue Lan saw the girl's embarrassed expression through her divine sense, and the smile between her brows deepened. She did not notice He Yaocai, who was staring at her intently.
"If you won't let me drink, why don't you drink?" Xue Tong asked, looking at Xue Lan.
Xue Lan's voice carried a longing that Xue Tong had never noticed:
"It's not that time yet."
Xue Tong wanted to ask when it would be over, but before she could speak, she saw He Yaocai beckoning slightly to Xue Lan:
"come over."
Xue Lan moved closer to Tao Yao, and after a moment her expression changed slightly.
