Zhang Xiaofan wouldn't pry too much into certain private matters. Apart from his title, Nan Yuxiu's appearance was that of a refined gentleman, gentle and jade-like. When he wasn't angry, he had a scholarly air about him. Although he was thin, he was much more masculine than Yu Ling in women's clothing.
He naturally assumed that this guy had already had his limbs regenerated by Yu Ling using interstellar nutrient solution.
Zhang Xiaofan's words were perfectly reasonable. Seeing that the other party didn't appreciate it, he didn't say anything more. Nan Yuxiu's words and methods were equally ruthless; he didn't want to drag him down with him.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaofan, armed with the system Xiaomi, set off with a ruthless villainous boss towards Cangyang Kingdom, which was the closest to them.
As for Yu Ling? He had actually already bought a sparrow body for a certain lazy system, and was advancing with the army. When Zhang Xiaofan encountered someone with a wild system, he would be teleported back to intercept him.
Yu Ling was very happy to be free from her job as a laborer. As she wandered around, she also discovered some of the advantages of being riddled with holes.
Ancient food was not very diverse. In the imperial court, chefs would often create various dishes from simple ingredients. But in this world, the time travelers brought their own specialties, which spread and were even cultivated by the local people.
I guess they swapped it with their respective systems. Things like fruits that can be drunk like beverages and explode when squeezed, meat-flavored melons that taste better than meat, seasoning powders that change the taste of cooked food, etc., they're truly amazing.
"It tastes good. This bamboo gets colder the longer it's cooked, and it tastes like ice cream. I wonder if they ate it every day before they traveled through time."
With so many fun and delicious things to do, why did they come all this way? I heard it's quite expensive to come here once.
Yu Ling ate as he walked. He had no money on him, but he could easily make a considerable fortune by picking up some of nature's bounty from the mountains, which would be more than enough for him to live on.
She's beautiful, wears high-quality clothes, has fair skin, is rich, and is all alone—a prime target! Crucially, Yu Ling also possesses an androgynous charm that makes her stand out in a crowd. It's hard not to be noticed.
After walking only three streets, Yu Ling was followed by a number of human traffickers and thieves, most of whom wanted to get to know her and make friends. As for what their intentions were after they became friends, we all know.
"Hey you guys in the back, it's time to show yourselves after following me for so long, isn't it? If you keep following me like this, we'll be leaving the city."
Yu Ling stopped beside a large tree. Why were there more and more people following her?
The group of "flower protectors" had already dealt with the scheming, shifty-eyed bastards for Yu Ling. Now, all that remained were prominent figures, along with their maids, servants, and pageboys—a truly massive group. Yu Ling couldn't pretend she didn't see them.
Seeing that Yu Ling seemed angry, the air seemed to freeze. After a while, about eight or nine people emerged from behind the thick tree to the right of the tree next to Yu Ling.
Yu Ling stared at them blankly, neither of them saying a word. Perhaps feeling a little guilty seeing Yu Ling's serious expression, the five people from the side alley awkwardly popped out as well.
"Are the three of you by the wall heading back home? Then I'll talk to you elsewhere."
"No, no! We're coming right now!"
Three naive young men dressed in brocade and silk shoved each other as they stood up from the wall. They had been betting that Yu Ling hadn't noticed them, but they had lost the bet.
With three, five, and eight people added together, there were almost twenty people. Surrounded by so many people, anyone who didn't know better would think Yu Ling had done something wrong.
After three days of travel, the city where Yu Ling was located was almost far from their homeland. After leaving the city gate and passing through a few deserted forests, they would reach the Qi Kingdom, and turning right would lead them to Cangyang Kingdom, Zhang Xiaofan's destination.
They certainly couldn't possibly cross the entire Qi Kingdom; they'd most likely have to take unconventional routes. Yu Ling didn't want to suffer that, which is why he came out to have fun. Anyway, there's a teleportation feature, so he can play around a little longer without delaying anything.
However, this appearance is too outrageous and annoying, attracting so many curious young noblemen... Wait a minute, why are there two young ladies here too?
"Now that everyone is here, I'll get straight to the point."
As Yu Ling spoke, she glanced around and saw that two-thirds of the people inside were ordinary people without any martial arts skills. There was only one person whose martial arts skills were barely passable, and none of them had a system. They were all natives.
He understood the situation and continued, "First of all, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, I need to emphasize in advance that I am a man!"
This one sentence filtered out at least three cards based on gender and took away their servants, leaving only eleven people in the field. It's unclear whether they don't believe it or not.
"Secondly," Yu Ling continued, "my destination is Qi State, and I'm unlikely to return within three to five years. Those who don't want to be far from home can leave now."
After a brief commotion, several people who were clearly under strict control at home and had limited freedom of movement blushed as they introduced themselves to Yu Ling, said their names, and took their leave.
In the end, only a frivolous young master with a maid, a scholar with a page, and a lone young lady and Yu Ling remained in the arena.
"Alright, you guys have been following me for so long, just say what you have to say, I'm very busy."
They're busy eating, drinking, and having fun in Qi Kingdom.
“Young lady… young master, please don’t misunderstand. We are not bad people. We just saw that it was not safe for you to travel alone and that you were being targeted by bad people, so we came to remind you.”
The playboy ignored the two people beside him, and thought he looked very cool as he flipped his hair, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, revealing his perfect jawline.
Yu Ling: ...This guy is so slick.
Where are the bad guys?
The playboy: "Don't be afraid, I've already chased them away!"
"Really? I didn't know you were so skilled in martial arts, young master. Thank you so much."
Yu Ling forced herself to stay awake and took two steps forward, clenching her fists tightly.
The scholar and the young lady both took two steps back astutely, while only the dissolute young man, his eyes gleaming, eagerly scurried towards Yu Ling.
"Bang—!!!"
The playboy was sent flying ten meters away, crashing into a tree. A pile of leaves fell from his head, making him appear even greener.
The timid maidservant hurried off to attend to the dissolute young master, while Yu Ling called out from afar:
"Thanks for the reminder, but don't worry about it, I'm better than you."
The two remaining normal people present were clearly prepared for Yu Ling's skills, and they tacitly dodged far away, without even having their clothes brushed. The young lady even clapped her hands and exclaimed in admiration, "Young master, what excellent skills you have!"
Yu Ling: "No need for such formalities. I don't think you two are here to remind me to be careful, are you?"
