The surroundings became quiet.

Ai Cao covered her face and said, "...I came back to take a look."

The women cheered.

Lei Tang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is my mother... home?"

Several women nearby immediately amplified her voice. Some women standing outside, unable to see what was happening inside, hurriedly went to the other side of town and pulled the landlady, who was busy planning the land use, over.

The women tacitly lifted the proprietress over their heads and escorted her to the road.

The proprietress stood up straight, adjusted her veiled hat, and said with a stern face, "What are you doing? Blocking the road..."

She sensed something from the women's suppressed laughter and furtive pointing behind her back. The proprietress turned around and saw her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for two years—along with Ai Cao and Qing Yun.

Her eyes reddened.

The women laughed and teased her, saying, "Didn't you want to see your daughter before?"

The proprietress forced back her tears and angrily waved her arm to shoo people away: "If you've seen your benefactor, hurry up and leave! What are you doing blocking the way!"

She chased away the laughing and joking women, then turned and led the three of them to her house.

The landlady said, "Thanks to Master Yang, we were able to settle down here so easily... Women come to this town in waves, and fortunately, Master Yang always comes in time to help us settle down."

Yang Xianren naturally refers to Yang Lingyao.

There is no other immortal with the surname Yang in this mountain and this town.

They sat down in the landlady's room. The landlady poured four cups of tea, and the four of them sat down together.

The mugwort said, "You still haven't told me your name."

The proprietress was taken aback. A faint smile appeared on her face, which looked almost exactly the same as it had two years ago.

She said, "It's kind of you, immortal, to remember this..."

She was unusually shy and said, "I've given myself a name... um..."

She whispered, "Call her Lei Nvfeng."

After Lei Nvfeng finished speaking, she lowered her head, picked up her teacup, and used it to cover her face. She said, "I've only ever thought about Lei Tang... I've flipped through the dictionary many times, but I still think the character 'Feng' is the best."

After hesitating between "telling her that Lei Tuo might not have the bloodline of a phoenix" and "protecting Lei Nu Feng's beautiful wish," Ai Cao said, "This name sounds nice."

Lei Nvfeng put down her teacup and whispered her thanks.

She chatted with Lei Tang about everyday matters and news about Tiger Mountain—she also corresponded with Lei Tang's adoptive mother. To understand the occasional claw marks Tiger Mountain left, she even learned a new demon language.

After she finished talking about her family, the relaxed expression on her face became more serious.

Lei Nvfeng said, "Master Yang said..."

She lowered her voice.

Qingyun understood and subtly moved his fingers, setting up a soundproof barrier around them.

"There's going to be more conflict," she said.
