As soon as Ming Luo landed, she searched everywhere for Ye Zhihan. Perhaps because they had been together for a long time and had developed a tacit understanding, she immediately noticed the concerned gaze of the man in the shadow under the tree. She hurriedly thanked the burly young man and trotted directly in the direction of Ye Zhihan.
As soon as he ran to Ye Zhihan, Mingluo couldn't wait to ask: "Ye Zhihan, how was my performance just now?"
Seeing Mingluo's eyes full of stars in anticipation, Ye Zhihan's tense expression relaxed. He ruffled Mingluo's soft hair and replied softly, "The pulling is very delicate."
Mingluo smiled brightly after hearing the praise, like a simple child being praised by a teacher.
However, Ye Zhihan added, "It's a pity that you acted too conspicuously. It's easy to be discovered. You must be more careful next time."
Ming Luo nodded obediently and silently kept Ye Zhihan's advice in mind. It seemed that she was not cautious enough, otherwise she would not have been caught by the hateful fox demon shopkeeper.
"Yes, it was that boy who saved me." Ming Luo pointed to the burly boy who was still righteously beating up the fox demon not far away.
"Young Master... please spare me..." The fox demon who was pinned down by the burly young man begged for mercy repeatedly. As the shopkeeper, he didn't dare to fight back at all. Moreover, he had recovered into the old shopkeeper at this time. There were many bruises on his body and he looked particularly miserable.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Ming Luo stepped forward and greeted the burly young man. Although nothing would happen to him whether he took action or not, he still had to say thank you.
"I'm Xiong Zhuangpeng." The burly young man stopped only after hearing Ming Luo's question. He then warned the Fox Demon Shopkeeper fiercely, "If I catch you absorbing other people's spiritual energy without permission again, I'll definitely blow your crown off with one punch!"
Then he easily carried the Fox Demon Shopkeeper on his shoulders and walked towards the inn.
"Aren't you coming over? We still need to rest at night." Seeing that Ming Luo and Ye Zhihan had no intention of following, Xiong Zhuangpeng came over and pushed them back to the inn, showing great enthusiasm.
After returning to the inn, Ming Luo finally understood what it meant to be truly outgoing. Xiong Zhuangpeng forced the half-dead fox demon shopkeeper to move Ming Luo and Ye Zhihan to a more comfortable and luxurious room. He then pulled them both over for a drink and chat, even wanting to talk all night until they were drunk, as if they had met too late.
After a long conversation, Ming Luo learned that Xiong Zhuangpeng was the eldest son of the bear clan, the second largest family in the beast clan territory. He was only nineteen years old this year, but relying on the brave and warlike nature of the bear clan and his fists as hard as steel, he had made a resounding name for himself on the battlefield and was a model of a promising young general.
But Xiong Zhuangpeng, who is good at fighting, also has his difficulties. If he is asked to fight on the battlefield, he will definitely lead the troops without hesitation. But now his father bluntly asks him to marry Bai Qianqian, the daughter of the beast king!
Xiong Zhuangpeng was drinking while complaining to Mingluo and Ye Zhihan. As a tough and vigorous man, he naturally had fantasies of a strong and tender woman in his heart. His ideal wife should be a gentle and delicate woman. He was willing to protect her in his hands, love her for the rest of his life, and shelter her from all the ups and downs in her life. He was willing to devote all his tenderness to his sweet, soft and beautiful wife.
But who is Bai Qianqian?
She is the daughter of the King of the Beastmen, a Valkyrie famous in the north, and a warrior who can kill everyone with him on the battlefield.
The most important thing is that Bai Qianqian belongs to the tiger tribe and is born with supernatural powers. If they really fight, Xiong Zhuangpeng is afraid that he will not be her opponent!
As for Bai Qianqian, apart from the fact that the word Qianqian in her name is relatively feminine, Xiong Zhuangpeng could not sense any feminine aura in her.
The tenderness and tenderness in his dream turned into a tigress in reality, and Xiong Zhuangpeng was naturally upset.
After hearing the news of the engagement, Xiong Zhuangpeng directly refused the marriage in front of his father. However, his father, considering the friendship between the Tiger Clan and Bai Qianqian over generations and their shared battles on the battlefield, insisted on marrying Xiong Zhuangpeng to Bai Qianqian, saying that it was a way to repay the Tiger Clan for their care over the past hundred years.
Xiong Zhuangpeng wasn't happy about wanting a fierce, invincible man who spoke with his fists to marry into someone else's family?
To show his resolve, he stormed south, and true to his warmhearted nature, he even helped many demons along the way. Not long after arriving at the Shixiang Tower, he encountered the scandal of Mingluo being targeted by the fox demon shopkeeper.
Xiong Zhuangpeng had heard a little about the shopkeeper fox demon's ruthless methods and style of doing things, and was extremely dissatisfied with his practice of absorbing other people's spiritual power to activate the time-traveling magic weapon, so when he saw Ming Luo being bullied, he naturally stood up.
It just so happened that the Xiong family had invested in Shixianglou, so Xiong Zhuangpeng could act without any scruples.
So, although the burly young man in front of you looks extremely stupid, he is actually a tough guy with a family, financial resources, and martial arts skills, and he also has a chivalrous heart.
Mingluo silently labeled Xiong Zhuangpeng as her first impression in her mind.
In fact, if you look closely, Xiong Zhuangpeng is not ugly, and can even be called quite handsome. He is a bit like a refreshing handsome guy who has done excessive fitness. Looking at his face, he is a sunny and fresh guy who makes people feel very comfortable, but looking at his body, he is a super muscular man.
Xiong Zhuangpeng drank silently while complaining to Mingluo and the others. Soon, his healthy, wheat-colored face turned crimson. He raised his glass and asked, "Mingluo, why don't you drink? This is the Beast Tribe's most popular Thousand Peach Wine. It's like juice, not intoxicating. Come and try it!"
Fatty, who had been hiding in a safe place observing the situation, flew down from mid-air upon hearing about the wine to drink, and said happily, "I want to try it too!"
Seeing that the visitor was just a small, translucent jellyfish-like creature, Xiong Zhuangpeng didn't take any precautions. He simply handed a large bowl of wine to Pang Tao and said, "Have a drink! Everyone who comes is a guest. This meal is on me!"
Ming Luo had never touched alcohol since she was a child, and she didn't know how much she could drink. She looked at Ye Zhihan and Pang Tao's reactions when they drank. She saw that most of Pang Tao's face was soaked in the wine, and she seemed very satisfied, while Ye Zhihan drank the wine in the glass with a straight posture, and then nodded slightly as if he was very satisfied with the wine.
A gust of night wind blew by, and Zhihan's hair flew. The black hair teased Mingluo's pink face, making her feel itchy. She seemed to smell the sweet scent of nectar in the air, as well as the unique smell of Ye Zhihan.
Ye Zhihan turned his head and found Mingluo staring at him, so he smiled slightly, and Mingluo's slightly obsessed look was reflected in his cold eyes.
Ming Luo realized his own loss of composure and quickly averted his gaze, drinking the entire cup in one gulp. He stammered, "This wine... is... really delicious!"
Xiong Zhuangpeng drank another glass of bitter wine. He smiled and said, "Yeah, I heard that girls like to drink this kind of sweet wine the most."
