Chapter 135 Strolling Through the Ancient City

After flying for several hours, the plane finally arrived in Yuncheng.

The announcement came over the loudspeaker that they were about to land, and Yuanyuan looked excitedly out the window: "Daddy, are we almost there? I can see the mountains below."

"So many mountains, they're nothing like ours, but they're quite similar to the Beast World."

"Yes, the terrain here is different from ours."

Gu Zheng pulled her back into his arms. "Sit tight, we're about to land."

The plane landed, and they disembarked through a special passage.

While waiting in the VIP room, their luggage was quickly brought over, and soon Xiao and Xiaolang were also brought over.

Gu Zheng carried Yuanyuan onto the suitcase and pushed her along.

Yuanyuan was very excited as it was the first time she had done this.

Xia Zhiyun walked alongside Yu Na, and seeing Yuan Yuan so happy, she was happy too.

Stepping out of the airport, I felt the difference in climate between Yuncheng and Beijing.

"Wow, it's so warm!"

Yuanyuan couldn't help but open her arms and take a deep breath. "The air is so fresh!"

However, the air in the Beast World is still the best.

"The air is definitely much better than at home." Just looking at it makes one feel relaxed and refreshed.

The little wolf howled excitedly, trying to break free from Yuanyuan's embrace and run away on its own.

It had been cooped up on the plane for hours and was really going to suffocate.

"No, there are too many people here,"

Yuanyuan held it down, saying, "I'll let you get down when we get to the hotel."

The car that Gu Zheng had arranged was already waiting outside the airport.

They got into the car, and the plainclothes officers got into other cars and followed behind.

Maintain a safe and unobtrusive distance.

The car drove for about an hour before finally arriving at the hotel.

The hotel was booked in advance. The environment was very nice, with a large courtyard filled with flowers.

After getting off the bus, Yuanyuan excitedly grabbed Gu Zheng's hand and shook it from side to side, "Daddy, this place is so beautiful!"

There are so many flowers!

"I'm glad you like it," Gu Zheng said with a smile, patting her head. "Let's check in first, put our luggage away, and then we can go out and have some fun."

"Okay, okay!"

...

The waiter noticed the red rabbit and wolf in Yuanyuan's arms and couldn't help but take a second look, but refrained from asking any further questions.

After completing the formalities, Gu Zheng followed the waiter to his room.

Their room was a suite, very large, with a balcony where you could see the scenery outside.

As soon as Yuanyuan entered the room, she put Xiaobai and Xiaolang down.

"You can walk around the room, but don't cause any trouble."

Little White and Little Wolf responded and began running around the room, checking for any hidden dangers.

Even the little snake couldn't resist sliding down his wrist and stretching its body. Fish was a bit carsick and looked listless.

Gu Zheng quickly went into the bathroom to run the water for him and let him soak in the bathtub.

Xia Zhiyun walked onto the balcony, looked at the scenery outside, and nodded in satisfaction. "The scenery here is really nice, and the air is fresh too. I definitely made the right choice in choosing this place."

Gu Zheng walked over to him and said, "Why don't you rest for a while? We'll go eat some local specialties later."

“Okay,” Xia Zhiyun nodded, “I’ll rest after I’ve packed my things.”

"No need, you go to sleep first, I'll take care of it."

Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Xia Zhiyun didn't delay any longer. She changed her shoes, went to the bathroom to wash her feet, and then went straight to bed to sleep.

Gu Zheng was packing his luggage, taking out Yuan Yuan and Yu Na's clothes and hanging them in the closet, and then taking out his and Xia Zhiyun's clothes and hanging them up.

...

That evening, they went to eat local Yunnan cuisine, specifically mushroom hot pot.

Just hearing the name makes your mouth water.

The copper pot in the hot pot restaurant was steaming, and the milky white mushroom soup was bubbling away.

Different varieties of mushrooms were tumbling inside.

Yuanyuan clung to the edge of the table, pointing with her little finger at the mushrooms curled up like tiny umbrellas in the pot. "Daddy, are these umbrella-shaped mushrooms really edible?"

"Why is it gray?"

Xia Zhiyun picked up a porcini mushroom with her chopsticks and put it in her bowl. "Eat this porcini mushroom first, it's very fresh."

Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, then took a small bite, and then another.

"Wow! It tastes so good, it's sweet."

Yu Na sat beside the boiling hot pot, somewhat lost in thought.

He had only ever eaten raw fish and shrimp in the sea, and had seen plenty of grilled meat, stewed meat, and stir-fried vegetables during this time, but this was the first time he had ever seen something piping hot.

Won't it burn your mouth if you take it straight from the pot and eat it?

Seeing his hesitation, Gu Zheng picked up a piece of chicken mushroom and put it in his bowl: "Try it? Maybe you'll like it."

The fish carefully licked a small amount, and it really did lick.

The sweet and savory flavor melted in his mouth, and his eyes lit up. He couldn't resist putting it all in his mouth and chewing it.

"It's delicious!"

"Eat more if you like it." Gu Zheng then put some other mushrooms on his plate that he couldn't name.

The mushroom soup grew richer and richer as it simmered, filling the private room with its delicious aroma.

Seeing the fish eating so happily, the little wolf and the little white dog wondered: Is it really that delicious?

Finally, I couldn't resist and took a bite myself. It was like my taste buds had been awakened.

They started showing off mushrooms like crazy.

Only the little snake ignored it, not even glancing at it.

...

After resting at the hotel for one night, Gu Zheng took them to the ancient city early the next morning.

The red lanterns lining both sides of the bluestone path caught Yuanyuan's eye. She grabbed Gu Zheng's hand and jumped around, exclaiming, "Wow, Daddy, so many red lanterns! Is it almost New Year's?"

"No, it's because National Day is coming soon, so we're decorating for a festive occasion."

"Oh, is that so? Then wouldn't it be even more fun during the National Day holiday?"

"Yes, but there were a lot of people back then."

Xia Zhiyun led Yu Na by the hand and walked beside her, reminding her, "There are a lot of people, don't wander off, it'll be troublesome if you get separated."

Yu Na nodded, her eyes quickly drawn to the sugar figurines at the roadside stall.

"Yuanyuan, what's that?"

Yuanyuan had never tried it before and was very curious. "I don't know either!"

"Xia Zhiyun and Gu Zheng felt very sad when they heard these words."

We led them to the stall and each of them ordered one.

Yuanyuan wanted a snake pattern, while Yuna wanted a fish pattern.

Both of them were very simple, and they were done in no time.

Yuanyuan ate as she walked, holding the fish in her hand the whole time.

After walking for a while, Xiaobai nestled in her arms, a little annoyed, "There are too many people, the air is so crowded it smells bad."

"Bear with it, it's like this when it's crowded." Yuanyuan patted its head. "There are lots of delicious things inside, and cute little trinkets too. Let's take our time browsing."

The little wolf seemed quite happy being held by Xia Zhiyun.

“That’s right, there’s a food street just ahead, let’s take our time browsing,” Gu Zheng replied.

The entire street is lined with small shops selling tie-dyed fabrics, silver jewelry, flower cakes, and various local snacks.

Yuanyuan stopped in front of a tie-dye shop, her eyes shining as she looked at the blue and white fabric.

"Mom, this fabric is so pretty, I want it."

Xia Zhiyun picked up a piece of fabric and touched it. "It's really comfortable. Boss, can you make a little dress for my child?"

The owner was very enthusiastic, nodding with a smile, "Sure, many of our customers ask us to make clothes for them."

What kind of things do children like?
