“Ruoxue, long time no see,” Dongfang Yun said directly to Leng Ruoxue after he appeared in front of everyone.

Leng Ruoxue just smiled and didn’t answer. But she couldn’t help grumbling in her heart, It hasn’t been that long, alright!

“Lass! Thank you for the pill!” Old Yu said gratefully. He originally thought that his disciple’s strength would regress even if his injuries were all healed. But he didn’t expect his strength to rise instead, making him super happy.

“Grandpa Yu is Grandpa’s friend, so you don’t have to be so polite,” Leng Ruoxue said politely.

“Let’s leave this place quickly and find a place to discuss our next step,” Lin Liang urged.

“Okay, come up quickly!” Leng Qingtian jumped onto Ink Thunder’s back and then beckoned Old Yu and his disciple.

“Let’s go!” Leng Qingtian ordered after Old Yu and Dongfang Yun sat down.

“Grandpa, let’s go to the Illusionary Forest!” Leng Ruoxue suggested after flying for a while. It was the old home of most of her beasts, and the Illusionary Forest was relatively safe.

“Okay, let’s go.” Leng Qingtian nodded slightly. That place was indeed a good choice.

After making the decision, they flew toward the Illusionary Forest.

“Quill, take us to your residence!” Leng Ruoxue said to Quill after entering the forest.

“Yes, Master.” Quill led the way with several dragons following behind him.

Ten minutes later, Quill descended in front of a tree that would take 10 people to wrap their arms around.

Quill transformed into a little bird and perched on Leng Ruoxue’s shoulder.

“Grandpa, we’re here. Let’s go in!” Leng Ruoxue walked in first when she saw that everyone was here.

“Quill, your home isn’t bad!” Leng Qingtian exclaimed after entering. There were mountains and rivers, and the environment was quiet and beautiful. It was really a good place.

“Hehe, it’s alright!” Quill scratched his little head with his wing shyly.

“Everyone, let’s stay here for the time being!” Leng Ruoxue walked in front of everyone with familiarity. She then took out a lot of food from her ring and placed them on a stone table.

“Let’s eat something first!”

“Lass, you guys are too extravagant. How can you eat so well?” Old Zao swallowed his saliva greedily. They had also been on the run, but why were their circumstances so different? These people ate delicious and rare fresh beast meat, while they could only eat dry food. Boohoo… Why!

“Yes, it’s truly luxurious. I say, Old Leng! Why are you eating better than when you were in the general’s mansion?” Old Yu asked in puzzlement, his face full of question marks.

“Erm… Erm…” Leng Qingtian stammered. He really didn’t know what to say. Should he tell them that they were leading better lives than an emperor? That would be a huge blow to them! He wouldn’t do such a thing.

“Haha, abusing our stomachs is the last thing we should do on the run!” Old Man said.

“Yes, that’s right” Leng Qingtian and the others nodded in agreement.

“Lass, I’m homeless, so I’ll follow you from now on,” Old Zao said pitifully with a bitter face.

“Junior Aunt, me too!” Guo Yong and Guo Qiang said in unison, and their faces clearly said, ‘Junior Aunt, you can’t leave us alone!’

Leng Ruoxue’s forehead was full of black lines. Are these fellows planning to rely on me? But she knew very well that these people didn’t have any ill intentions toward her. Moreover, they might even be her helpers in the future.

“It’s not impossible to follow me, but I want absolute loyalty, and betrayal is forbidden,” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.

“Junior Aunt, we are more loyal than little dogs.” Guo Yong and Guo Qiang quickly tried to suck up to her, their faces full of fawning expressions. Their master said before that they would definitely have a future following Leng Ruoxue, so they would spare no effort to stay by her side. Of course, this was also their master’s order!

“Lass, I’m yours from now on. I will never head west if you ask me to go east. I’ll do whatever you ask me to, and I promise I’ll listen to you,” Old Zao promised with his hand raised.

“You damn old man, scram! I’m Xue’er’s person!” The little silver mink, who had been lying in Leng Ruoxue’s arms, was instantly enraged. Damn old man, how dare you snatch Xue’er away from me! Hmph! I absolutely won’t forgive you!

“Uh! All of us are, alright?” Old Zao hurriedly coaxed after seeing the little mink’s sharp little claws.

“No, Xue’er is mine,” the little silver mink said domineeringly.

“Yes, okay. The lass is yours, and I’m yours. That should do, right?!” Old Zao said reluctantly. Boohoo… A mink is actually bullying me!

“I don’t want you!” the little silver mink roared angrily, so angry that the fur on his body was about to stand on end.

“What I mean is that the lass is yours, and I’m hers, which is equivalent to being yours,” Old Zao explained patiently. Boohoo… Why is this mink so difficult to deal with? He’s so not adorable!

“Shut up, both of you. No one is allowed to speak.” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t bear it anymore. A few drops of cold sweat dripped down her forehead unconsciously. What is this?

The human and mink immediately shut their mouths obediently. They didn’t dare to speak anymore, but they stole glances at her with pitiful little eyes from time to time.

“Hehe, Xue’er, they’re pretty obedient!” Leng Qingtian said with a smile, his heart blooming with joy.

“Idiot!” Old Yu rolled his eyes at Old Zao, despising him in his heart. Even if he wants to stay, he doesn’t have to do that! We don’t even need to say anything and can just express it with our actions.

“Stop standing there. Come here to prepare the food instead. Otherwise, we won’t have anything to eat later!” said Lin Liang, who was cleaning up the ingredients with Dongfang Yun. Sigh, the group is getting livelier by the day.
