Jiang Yuetong only realized after her rebirth that she was in a book world.
Recalling her fate as a cannon fodder villainess in her previous life, she felt unwilling to accept it.
She, ...
The Pegasus Beast was followed by a magnificent carriage. As they arrived at a crowded area, instead of slowing down, they accelerated even further.
People walking in the middle of the road moved to the side, discussing the situation with great dissatisfaction.
Lu Jingliang pulled Jiang Yuetong back to the stall and coldly watched the group of people rushing over.
He secretly gathered demonic energy in his other hand. When Jiang Yuetong noticed this, she shook the hand that was holding hers.
"They'll definitely get a beating within an hour."
Lu Jingliang raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"
Jiang Yuetong nodded with absolute certainty: "Definitely! Anyone who dares to ride horses here is obviously an outsider who doesn't know the rules here."
Lu Jingliang became interested: "How so?"
Seeing that he seemed really curious, Jiang Yuetong seemed to remember something and couldn't help but smile.
She tiptoed closer to Lü Jingliang's ear and whispered, "This town still belongs to the Three Prefectures, but my master assigned it to Cangyun Prefecture to be managed by Yuan Shuchen."
He had just taken over the town, and it was on this very street that he was nearly knocked off his horse by someone galloping by. As the ruler of a prefecture, he lost all face, and thus this rule was established.
Just thinking about Yuan Shuchen's disheveled appearance back then, Jiang Yuetong couldn't help but smile.
Kid, you've finally met your match!
Lu Jingliang nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
Seeing her laughing so happily with schadenfreude, Lu Jingliang's lips also curled up.
The two strolled around the streets for a long time. Jiang Yuetong rarely had time and an appetite, so she bought a lot of food along the way, but she only tasted a few bites before giving them to Lü Jingliang.
"The water in this clear bottle is called bubble tea. I don't know who made it, but it's very popular with girls in the Eastern Region. You can't find it anywhere else. You should try it; it's delicious."
Lu Jingliang silently reached out and took it.
"This pretty thing is called a cake. It tastes slightly sweet but not cloying, and it's soft and chewy. I think you'll love it. Give it a try!"
Lu Jingliang reached out and took it again, remaining silent.
Watching the people ahead showing interest in shopping, he sighed helplessly, a doting and indulgent smile flashing in his deep eyes.
As time passed, night fell.
Jiang Yuetong finally stopped at a clothing store, which she heard was the biggest store in town.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Before anyone could respond, she stepped into the shop. Lu Jingliang put the item he had just placed in his hand into his spatial storage and quickly followed after her.
"Please slow down, Madam."
Lu Jingliang stepped forward and took her hand.
Seeing someone enter, the shopkeeper quickly walked over and asked with a smile, "Please come in quickly, young lady. You have excellent taste! Everything in our shop is unique and guaranteed to satisfy you two!"
Jiang Yuetong smiled and nodded without saying anything, her gaze sweeping around her.
As if she had her eye on something, she shook Lu Jingliang's hand and asked, "How about that purple straight-collared robe?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Jingliang followed her gaze and saw that it was men's clothing.
He slightly curved his lips and said in a deep, gentle voice, "It would be wonderful if Madam would take a liking to you."
The shopkeeper, listening from the side, chuckled and said, "This young master is right. The young lady has excellent taste; she chose our shop's prized possession right away."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong raised her beautiful, slender eyebrows.
The shopkeeper, thinking she didn't believe him, took the garment down and said, "To tell you the truth, this is not just a piece of clothing; it can also defend against attacks from magical artifacts below the level of a divine sword."
