âNo, I wonât take it back since the goods are out!â Two drops of cold sweat dripped down Leng Ruoxueâs forehead. Why was this head butler so stubborn? Why did the mighty Mystic Sovereign insist on a great mystic like her!
âHehe, Miss, we donât have money now, but weâll return the money to you when we earn it! Erm⦠weâll take our leave to earn money first!â Cheng Wu suddenly said, and then pulled the head butler, who was about to continue persuading Leng Ruoxue, away.
âHaha! Xueâer, looks like theyâre determined to pester you!â the Head butler and Cheng Wu gloated after leaving.
âAlas!â Leng Ruoxue sighed helplessly, feeling depressed. Didnât she say it very clearly? Why were they still pestering her?
âXueâer, actually, itâs not bad to have them as your backing to earn money! Why donât you consider taking them in?â Empty suggested.
âLetâs discuss again later! I donât have that idea now,â Leng Ruoxue said.
âXueâer, weâre back.â Leng Ruohanâs voice sounded from outside the room.
Leng Ruoxue hurriedly stood up and ran out of the room after hearing her brotherâs voice.
âBig Brother, youâre finally back.â In the yard, Leng Ruoxue threw herself into Leng Ruohanâs arms, who had just jumped down from Quillâs back, and said worriedly.
âXueâer, sorry for making you worry,â Leng Ruohan said shyly.
âWhatâs there to worry about with me around? Alas! Iâm so sad. Little Snowy actually doubted my strength. Boohooâ¦â Icyâs blue eyes welled up with tears as it lay on Quillâs back aggrievedly and looked at Leng Ruoxue.
âLittle Icy, how would I dare to doubt your strength? I was just worried!â Leng Ruoxue hurriedly hugged it and coaxed it after hearing Icyâs words.
âI know. Forget it, I forgive you,â Icy said generously.
âHehe! Thank you, Little Icy,â Leng Ruoxue said happily as she caressed Icyâs head.
âBig Brother, why did you take so long?â Leng Ruoxue looked up and asked in puzzlement. Logically speaking, they should have arrived in two days if Windless City was flying day and night from Myriad Mountain City. However, her brother and the others had actually been there for nearly half a month!
âMy spiritual power conversion took a long time, so it took some time,â Leng Ruohan explained.
âOh, hehe, Big Brother, the longer the spiritual power conversion, the better your aptitude is!â Leng Ruoxue was relieved seeing that the reason why her brother and the others returned late was as they had guessed!
âAlas! Iâve been ignored.â Suddenly, a resentful voice sounded.
Leng Ruoxue looked in the direction of the voice and found a familiar face among Feng Da and the others. She couldnât help saying in surprise, âLittle Lan Lan, why are you here?â
âCanât I come? Or do you not welcome me? Hmph! Little Snowy, youâre a heartless baddie!â Lan Mingâs bright black eyes looked at Leng Ruoxue resentfully, his handsome face full of grievance.
âUh! Thatâs not what I mean. I wanted to say, how did you have the time to come when youâre so busy?â Leng Ruoxue said hurriedly.
âMe? Busy? Very few people in my union convert spiritual power other than you. What do you think I can be busy with?â Lan Ming glared at Leng Ruoxue and asked angrily.
âUh! Youâre the president. There should be many things to settle!â Leng Ruoxue guessed.
âNo, Iâm very free,â Lan Ming said with certainty.
âOh, then welcome,â Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. Alas! She really didnât expect Lan Ming to follow them back. It seemed like she had to welcome him warmly!
âLittle Snowy, you left without saying goodbye. Youâve seriously hurt my fragile heart. Tell me, how do you intend to compensate me?â Lan Ming deliberately put on a stern face and said with slight displeasure.
âWhy should I compensate you?â Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement.
âYou left without saying goodbye. Shouldnât you compensate me?â Lan Ming said matter-of-factly.
âShould we?â Leng Ruoxue looked at the freak with a face full of question marks.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou shouldnât. Whatâs there to compensate for? Weâre not very familiar with each other,â the freak said indifferently as if he was talking about someone unrelated.
âYouâ¦â Lan Ming was so angry. What kind of person was this? How could there be such a despicable person? He came eagerly, but he actually said that they were not familiar with him. Boohooâ¦
âLittle Lan Lan, didnât I tell you not to come! Why did you insist on coming? Alas! Great, you must feel bad now!â Icy said very sympathetically.
âYouâre all baddies!â Lan Ming roared angrily.
âLittle Lan Lan, hehe, we were joking with you. However, forget about the compensation. I donât have money!â Leng Ruoxue said very stingily. She had so many subordinates. She had to be a miser!
âYou donât have money yet? Youâve earned a lot just from the Lan familyâs money!â Lan Ming exposed her!
âI have many subordinates. Look at how many mouths I have to feed!â Leng Ruoxue said bitterly.
âYes, my young miss is very poor. Alas!â Feng Da said very cooperatively.
âHmph! Youâre all on the same side. Of course youâll help her.â Lan Ming pouted with great dissatisfaction.
âOf course. Little Lan Lan, since youâre here, stay here for a few days!â Leng Ruoxue said very politely. Uh! At least she thought she was very hospitable!
âStay for a few days? Of course I have to stay for a few days. Donât tell me you originally planned to chase me away today?â Lan Ming widened his eyes and said loudly.
âNo, no. How can that be!â Leng Ruoxue quickly denied. Hehe, she wouldnât admit it. In fact, she really had that intention!
âLittle Snowy, listen carefully. I plan to stay here for a long time.â Lan Ming revealed his decision. Alas! He kept feeling like something was missing after breaking up with them, so he decided to stay for a few more days to find the reason and see what was going on!
âWelcome,â Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.
Just like that, Lan Ming stayed in the village for a long timeâ¦
A month later.
Leng Ruohan and the others had all broken through to elementary mysticâ¦
In the yard at the back of the mountain.
Lan Ming looked at Leng Ruoxue and the others as if they were monsters and couldnât help saying, âYouâre a group of perverts!â
