Zixie fell silent for a moment. He shook his head after a long while.
“I don’t understand the situation you’ve mentioned very well! When we find Qianbei Ye, he would certainly give you an answer.”
Gu Ruoyun did not question him any further. She turned towards the man next to her and said, “Let’s go. It’s getting late now and we should leave this place too…”
…
In order to leave the Deserted Snowlands, it was necessary to pass through a forest. The medicinal herbs in this forest were particularly abundant and people would frequently carry wicker baskets to pick herbs here.
“Give those medicinal herbs back to me. Those medicinal herbs are for my sick mother!”
At this moment, a six-year-old maiden was jumping as she tried to grab hold of the medicinal herbs which had been snatched away by the person in front of her. Her freckled little face was red with anger while tears of resentment shimmered in her large eyes.
“Give my herbs back to me. Those are for my mother’s treatment!”
A group of young boys who were more than ten years old was standing in front of her. Those young boys were not normal citizens but were cultivators who had cultivation skills. However, their talents were clearly weak and they were only at the Martial King rank.
Even so, normal people could not defend themselves against them.
“Que’er, don’t you know that we’ve already called dibs over the medicinal herbs in this mountain? If you want these herbs, you can have them… In exchange for money. Otherwise, scram!”
The leading youth who was dressed in linen robes laughed icily as he stared disdainfully at the tiny little maiden.
“You brutes. those herbs are for my sick mother! Give them back to me. Give my herbs back to me!” The little maiden was enraged and she bit the young man’s thigh so ferociously that she refused to release it.
“Damn girl, you f*cking had the nerve to bite me!”
The youth roared in anger from the pain as he lifted his leg violently and shook the little maiden away. She then landed with a thud on the nearby ground.
The little maiden rubbed her throbbing buttocks as tears streamed down her face. If she does not bring those herbs back, her mother would die.
Just then, two pairs of feet, one big and one small, appeared before her line of sight. She was shaken and lifted her large, tear-blurred eyes. She then blinked and stared at the lucid and elegant woman who was standing by her side.
“Are you alright?” Gu Ruoyun reached her hand towards the little maiden on the ground. Her lucid and elegant features were lifted into a tender smile.
The little maiden stared at the woman dazedly before she placed her small hand into the woman’s palm.
“Mother, who is she?”
A tender and child-like voice rang out from Gu Ruoyun’s side.
Only then did the little maiden notice the toddler next to the woman.
This toddler seems to be only around two years of age. Their soft body was like cotton candy and made one feel the urge to take a bite. Their supple and jade-like face was full of curiosity while their fresh and vivid eyes stared at her inquisitively.
The little maiden was mesmerized. She has never seen such a good looking little doll-like child. They even resembled an elf from a fairytale and was so adorable that anyone who laid eyes on them would feel the urge to embrace them.
“What a cute little sister.”
The little maiden praised sincerely.
However, Xiao Xun’er flipped out when he heard this and he glared at the little maiden fiercely. “You’re the little sister, your whole family are little sisters! I am a boy. Have you ever seen a little sister with a little birdy? I will now prove to you that I’m a boy!”
When Gu Ruoyun saw that the little fellow was really going to take his off pants to prove his gender, she burst into giggles and quickly pulled him back. “Xiao Xun’er, we should behave with propriety between the sexes. How can you take your trousers off in front of a girl? Be careful, I might tell on you when you have a wife.”
