“Of course! I live in Flying Dragon City, you can come to see me anytime,” Xiao He replied as he sat down.
Patika's eyes widened: "Really?! I can't wait!"
Xiao He couldn't help but chuckle. He looked her up and down a few times before asking with a meaningful smile, "How have you been lately?"
“Excellent!” Patika nodded emphatically, her smile one of unprecedented satisfaction.
"That's good." Xiao He also breathed a sigh of relief.
I was initially worried that she might not be able to adapt to the new environment, or that she might be too used to a life of luxury to accept rural life.
"I didn't expect Tyr to have such a method..." Xiao He thought to himself, his eyes darting around.
"Oh, by the way, what made you decide to come here? Is there something you need?" Patika asked with some concern.
Xiao He nodded and explained to her, "These last few days are crucial, so it's better for us to stay here and keep watch."
"What about your family?" Patika asked, still worried.
“We have many capable people guarding our home, so they sent the two of us to help Lu Zhong.”
"So that's how it is..."
Patika thought for a moment, and wanted to show them around the new city, but when she thought about how no one was managing the stalls, she suddenly felt troubled.
"No rush, you go ahead with your work. We can browse around on our own. We can catch up later after you've finished shopping," Xiao He said with a smile.
“Great! Would you like some fruit tea? It’ll be warm!” Patika winked and slyly started promoting her product.
"Haha! Then bring me two of your signature drinks!"
"Okay! You guys wait here for a bit!"
Patika gave a very down-to-earth, businessman-like smile.
Xiao He's gaze followed her back until she reached the stall.
The cart was made of wood, and there was a juicing tool on the table, also made of wood, which looked rather rudimentary.
Despite this, her business was booming. Even with several younger siblings helping out, she was still extremely busy.
“Fruit tea beauty…” Xiao He shook his head and made a “tsk tsk” sound.
As soon as Wang Xuefeng sat down next to her, he instinctively put his arm around her shoulder, like a typical wife-and-child-protecting fanatic.
Many people had been following Xiao He's figure, but when they saw the protective gesture from the man beside her, they all felt guilty and turned their faces away.
"Damn it... there are still so many people who want to take advantage of you..." Wang Xuefeng muttered angrily in her ear.
"Ah ha..." Xiao He couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.
The street is not wide; on the contrary, it is very crowded.
Because the area of the barrier is not wide, people's activity range is naturally limited, resulting in a situation where there are many people but little land.
Looking around, the buildings here are on average six or seven stories high. Judging from the distribution of windows on the outside, the rooms inside must also be quite small.
"The city planning isn't great, but it's still much better than those other haphazardly built cities," Xiao He remarked leisurely.
“Hmm…” Wang Xuefeng nodded slightly: “This city is said to be temporarily under the jurisdiction of Huo Leiting’s father, who has a strong appeal and cohesion, and everyone consciously follows the rules.”
“Temporarily manage…” Xiao He thought for a moment, “Perhaps it’s not temporary.”
“Based on Lei Zi’s description of General Huo, I think there’s a high probability that he will take direct power,” she added.
Wang Xuefeng did not refute this.
He also remembered Horry saying that the father had wanted to take his son's natal magic halberd for himself.
As for why he didn't take action in the end, it's very likely that he was simply afraid of dying.
It is evident that he was a military strategist who was both ambitious and composed.
"This is the Luzhong region, which will likely become the transportation hub of the entire Nuojin in the future. This city has all the advantages of timing, location, and people. Let's hope it doesn't cause any trouble in the future," Xiao He sighed helplessly.
"Don't worry, this is Lei Zi's problem to worry about." Wang Xuefeng laughed with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Here it comes! Here it comes!"
"Your fruit tea is here!"
"My sister said please enjoy your meal!"
A clever little girl nimbly skipped up to Xiao He and Wang Xuefeng and handed them the fruit tea.
"Here, take your money."
Thank you, older brother and sister!
The little girl smiled radiantly, and after accepting the money, she bowed deeply to the two of them. Her two ponytails swayed back and forth by her ears, and the bells around her neck jingled crisply.
Xiao He watched her leave, then slowly picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and gently sucked on it.
"How is it? Is it good?" Patika turned around and asked from a distance.
"Great! Your cooking is excellent!" Xiao He exclaimed in response.
"hey-hey--"
Pattika wiped her nose, which was stained with jam, but she was completely unaware of it, and continued to face the next customer.
"Welcome! How about some drinks today?"
...
Xiao He hadn't even taken two sips of his drink when he received a new message.
[Yang Xing: How is Lu Zhong? Is there anything unusual?]
[Xiao He: Not at the moment]
[Yang Xing: The hammering sound at the Sangcang Pass has stopped]
[Xiao He: Oh?]
[Yang Xing: You need to keep a close eye on things over there; those things are probably moving their base!]
However, before Xiao He could reply, he saw the video taken by Wind God William in the "Elemental Gods Group of Ten".
Xiao He was taken aback, and forwarded it to him without saying a word.
[Yang Xing: Holy crap? What's going on?!]
