Thinking of this.
Qing Jun felt even happier; she couldn’t help but use her tail to tickle her master’s palm.
Actually.
She had been a little worried before.
Worried that after having a tail and horns, her master would no longer like her... With horns and a tail, would she still be a dumpling?!
But Qing Jun didn’t expect that her master seemed to like her even more!
Now, the little girl had nothing to worry about at all; she only cared about her master’s opinion, and it didn’t matter if others thought she was a monster.
She decided to let her master touch her tail more often in the future, not to suppress her master’s nature!
Seeing the little girl humming proudly,
the master was quite helpless, released his hand, and gave a final light pat on the soft dragon tail, tucking it back into her skirt:
"You can go, but we have to set some ground rules."
"First, you must not run around; you must stay within Zhiwei’s line of sight."
"Second, take a good hold of your aura, especially your tail and horns, and remember not to show them outside."
"Third..."
Chen Ye glanced at Jin’er, who was a bit flustered, and he probably knew in his heart that this girl didn’t dare to go out much.
So he said gently:
"You, as the senior sister, when you go to Hunyuan City, you have to take care of her."
"Got it!"
Qing Jun cheered; as long as she could go out and eat delicious food, she’d agree to three hundred rules, let alone just three!
She grabbed Jin’er’s little hand and, with the demeanor of a senior sister, puffed out her chest:
"Don’t worry, master! As long as I’m there, no one will dare to bully Jin’er! If anyone dares to glare at her, I’ll... I’ll have Little White bite him!"
The little white fox hiding in Qing Jun’s backpack playing dead: "???"
Indeed.
Since coming to Hunyuan City, the little white fox had been living in Qing Jun’s backpack.
This way, even if something unexpected happened, it could help Qing Jun immediately.
But biting people...
Biting Chen Ye might be barely acceptable, but biting others? Better not.
That scoundrel even used to stick his fingers into its mouth; it has held a grudge ever since!
Thinking of this.
The little white fox’s eyes flickered with a dangerous color.
The time is ripe.
It should find a chance to wash away its past humiliation!
...
Half a quarter of an hour later.
The group of four walked out of the Listening Wind Pavilion.
To avoid attracting attention, Zhiwei specifically prepared veiled hats for the three of them.
Because,
when walking in the outside world, ordinary cultivators wouldn’t recklessly use divine sense to probe others, and even if someone did, it’s easier to detect than just eyes alone.
Therefore, items like veiled hats, black robes, and bamboo hats, though only ordinary clothes, are essential for cultivators traveling outside.
"Wow! It smells so good!"
As soon as they got on the street, Qing Jun was like a wild horse off the reins; if Chen Ye hadn’t anticipated it and warned her in advance, she would have disappeared into the crowd long ago.
Hunyuan City, worthy of being one of the most famous metropolises in the Yan Kingdom.
Chen Ye estimated that its bustling nature even surpassed Black Cliff City by the East Sea.
"Master, obviously the strength of the Lingyin Sect is much higher than that of the Spirit Treasure Sect. Why is Hunyuan City far more prosperous than the Moon Rhinoceros Lake District? Moreover, there are so many Foundation Establishment cultivators..."
Zhiwei, while keeping an eye on her two junior sisters, also took some time to secretly observe the surroundings.
Upon observing, she was taken aback.
On both sides of the street were shops and pavilions overflowing with spiritual light.
There were quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, along with the aura of excellent magical treasures and high-tier pills.
Chen Ye smiled and said:
"The reason is simple. Firstly, Lingyin cultivators mostly cultivate in the mountains, and the Moon Rhinoceros Lake District is largely inhabited by family cultivators, with the sect focusing elsewhere. Secondly, the Spirit Treasure Sect is an artifact refining sect with strong financial resources and good relations with the four sects. Plus, being located in central Yan Kingdom, it often sees visitors from sects around. The Moon Rhinoceros Lake District caters only to a handful of Foundation Establishment cultivators, but Hunyuan City does business in magical treasures for all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Yan Kingdom, so naturally, there are many of them."
Zhiwei nodded thoughtfully, just about to ask more about the power distribution in Hunyuan City.
But before she could speak, her sleeve was suddenly tugged hard.
"Senior sister! Senior sister!"
Qing Jun’s voice suddenly became excited,
"Stop talking about those boring things! Look over there! That, that!"
Everyone followed her little hand. Not far away, at the street corner, there was a small stall with a Food Immortal Residence sign, surrounded by a crowd.
The stall owner was a chubby cultivator with a rosy face, waving an iron skewer as he roasted skewer after skewer of golden meat skewers over a specially made charcoal fire stove.
As the oil sizzled, the exceedingly strong aroma of meat mixed with special spice scents seemed to hook into people’s noses.
"That’s golden crispy wild bull tendon!"
Qing Jun was so excited she was stomping her feet,
"Master! I read about it in the Yan Kingdom Gourmet Record! It’s said to use the most resilient tendon from a Second Tier Early Stage wild bull, marinated with precious spirit grass concoctions, first stewed, then roasted... one bite, crunchy! It also strengthens the muscles and bones! This person is the legendary Daoist Miaofang!"
Strengthens the muscles and bones?
Chen Ye glanced at his disciple’s small frame, capable of punching a demon beast to death.
Do you actually need this supplement?
What annoyed the master even more: "I wondered why you’ve been so studious these past few days, looking through books all the time. Turns out you were reading these books..."
The little girl pouted: "Qing Jun is studying! It’s all for Master! Master, you don’t know, Senior Sister wants to steal Qing Jun’s rice bowl!"
Qing Jun felt she wasn’t at all greedy!
She just wanted to taste all the delicious food in the world and then cook the best ones for her master!
"Steal your rice bowl?" Chen Ye was puzzled.
"Yes!"
Qing Jun clenched her small fists angrily; lately, she’d often find her senior sister secretly busy in the kitchen, and sometimes when she wasn’t paying attention, making snacks for the master to eat!
