Qin Luo was quite curious to see what the immortals' pets looked like.
"Then I'll ask the aunt again tomorrow and see if I can get any useful information!"
"Okay, do you want me to come out and sleep with you?"
"No need, why would we want to come out and suffer in a perfectly good space!"
Wu Hua looked at her with an expression that said, "You don't appreciate kindness."
"Hmph! I'm just worried about you!"
Qin Luo felt a sweet warmth in her heart after hearing what it said.
"Okay, I know! My little one cares about me the most. You take Tengteng and Pineapple to get some rest. I'm going to sleep now while it's still a bit cool!"
"Okay, call me if you're scared!"
"Okay, okay, go to sleep!"
After a round of mutual concern, Qin Luo fell asleep immediately.
Perhaps because she was in a better mood, she even slept very well that night!
The next day, just as dawn broke, she was woken up by the older woman.
"Xiao Luo, wake up!"
Qin Luo rubbed his eyes and glanced at her.
Good morning, Auntie! Has the city gate opened yet?
"Not yet! Get up! Everyone's gone to line up, let's go too!"
Qin Luo looked at the long queue in front of the city gate.
"Okay, I'll get up right away!"
Qin Luo got up and got off the donkey cart, leading the donkey-hide gelatin-stuffed woman, and followed her toward the city gate.
The two were at the very end of the line, and Qin Luo took the opportunity to ask the older woman about Le Feifei.
"Auntie, I've heard people say that those who frequently venture into the mountains may have extraordinary encounters. Have you ever experienced one?"
The older woman looked at her and burst out laughing.
"Haha! Are you bored while waiting and want to hear a story?"
Qin Luo was charmed by her smile and returned a bright smile.
“A little, Auntie, tell me a story, and I’ll take you to that rich merchant Ye’s mansion in a donkey cart later, okay?”
The aunt laughed even harder upon hearing this.
"Okay, okay, then I'll tell you about something that happened to me not long ago!"
"good!"
"Just half a month ago, when I went into the mountains to look for orchids, I met a little tabby cat. It had pointed ears, a snow-white tail, and big, blinking eyes. It was so beautiful!"
Based on her description, Qin Luo confirmed that it was definitely Yue Feifei.
Just by looking at it, you know it's made for a pet; it's such an adorable creature!
Before she could even imagine how adorable Le Feifei would look, she heard the auntie sigh.
"Sigh! It's a pity he's a bit dim-witted. He doesn't even know to run away when hunters get close. If he's caught, it's fine if he's sold as a pet, but if someone wants his fur, then he'll be in big trouble!"
The older woman spoke slowly and deliberately, but Qin Luo became somewhat anxious.
"And then? Did you get arrested?"
"No, I was here! I quickly chased it away while the hunter was passing by, and even got into an argument with him!"
Qin Luo understood what was going on; he guessed that Le Feifei hadn't gone far by then.
Hearing that the woman was rescuing it, he gave her a hair.
"So, did you win the argument?"
The aunt patted her chest proudly.
"Of course we won. He hunts his way and I chase mine. We each have our own rights, don't you think?"
Qin Luo gave her a thumbs up.
"Yes, Auntie, you're great! But you still need to be careful when you're alone in the future. If that hunter gets angry, he might do something bad to you!"
The aunt waved her hand dismissively.
"It's alright. I only dared to argue with him that day because I knew there were many villagers nearby. If I were alone, I would have run away with that little raccoon long ago!"
Qin Luo continued to praise her after listening.
"Auntie, you're so clever! You're a very wise person! You have a kind heart, and your future will surely get better and better..."
The older woman, amidst her constant praise, practically began to reveal her entire family's history.
As the two were chatting animatedly, the city gates opened.
After queuing for a short while, the two entered Yalan County.
Qin Luo took the older woman to eat a bowl of wontons, and took the opportunity to infuse her orchid with some wood-type supernatural power.
The orchid instantly transformed from wilted and droopy to vibrant and full of life.
The orchid, which originally only had leaves, suddenly sprouted a cluster of small flower buds, and they even showed signs of opening.
The aunt was completely oblivious to all of this and was still angry that Qin Luo had insisted on paying for the wontons!
"You poor child, you're already pitiful enough living alone out there, how could I let you treat me!"
As she spoke, she took out a copper coin to return it to her, but Qin Luo pushed her hand back.
"Auntie, how about this? I'll go with you to sell orchids later. If we sell them for a good price, you can treat me to lunch, okay?"
The older woman thought she was joking and, regardless of whether she sold the goods or not, she would treat her to lunch.
So he agreed, going along with her suggestion.
"Okay, your auntie will treat you to lunch at a restaurant!"
Qin Luo readily agreed, "Okay!"
The two finished their wontons in a cheerful and harmonious manner, and Qin Luo, driving the donkey cart, inquired along the way.
Half an hour later, they finally brought the aunt to the Ye residence.
When the two arrived, a large crowd had already gathered in front of the Ye residence.
Some are still in line, while others have already come out.
The two discussed it and decided to split up. Qin Luo went to park the donkey cart, while the aunt went to the gatehouse to get a number.
She had just finished receiving the gift when she saw someone come out of the door looking dejected, so she went up to ask them what was wrong.
"Hey girl, what's wrong?"
The woman sighed deeply.
"They said my orchids are too common, so they won't buy them!"
As soon as she said this, many people gathered around to look at her orchids.
They discovered that they were just like her, and both of them became discouraged.
"Didn't you say it didn't matter what kind of variety it was? Why did you change your mind again!"
"Exactly, is it easy for us to go in and out of the mountains?"
