Yao Yao was dumbfounded. Walk...walk?
Before being bound to the system, Yaoyao usually traveled by flying boat. Inserting spirit stones would activate it.
This young lady was originally from a wealthy family, always traveling in a carriage with great elegance. So, subconsciously, Yao Yao thought of riding in a carriage, never expecting that Abbess Huicheng would be an exception…
"Fine," Yao Yao pouted. "If I don't want to ride in the carriage, then I won't."
I have to say, walking is really slow. We set off when it was still barely light in the morning, and now it's almost noon and we still haven't arrived.
Sigh~ I don't know why Chen An ever thought of running off to these deep mountains and forests to cause trouble for Mo Ze.
That's right, Chen An and Yao Yao exchanged names during their journey. Now Yao Yao addresses Chen An as Benefactor Chen.
Chen An glanced at the sun, gritted his teeth, and forced a smile, "Master, it's already noon. Why don't we rest for a while before continuing?"
Yao Yao stared longingly at Abbess Huicheng from the side. Abbess Huicheng was somewhat helpless, but after glancing at the sun, she realized it was indeed getting late and nodded.
So the three people and the fox found an open space and sat down.
Yao Yao unloaded her bundle and took out some dry food to share with Abbess Huicheng and Chen An.
Yaoyao softened the dry food with water before swallowing it.
Needless to say, Mo Ze received the same treatment.
While Yao Yao wasn't paying attention, Chen An approached and said in a friendly tone, "Little Master Qingming, I have some snacks here, would you like some?"
Yao Yao felt a warning bell ringing in her heart: what was Chen An up to? Offering help for no reason was either a sign of ulterior motives or theft.
With a blank expression, he refused, "No need, this pancake is quite delicious." He then took a bite of the pancake.
Hmm, it's really tough, but it tastes good. It's definitely better than those ill-intentioned pastries Chen An made!
Chen An reluctantly took back the snacks.
Actually, he noticed that the little nun would always break off pieces of food and give them to the fox, so he put some medicine that suppressed spiritual energy in the snacks.
However, Yaoyao refused to accept it, and he dared not alert her by forcing her to accept it.
Mo Ze glanced at Yao Yao in agreement.
He just smelled something different on the pastry. And this person smells so bad, he's definitely not a good person! He's definitely after the little nun!
Hmph, even if the little nun accepts it, he won't let her eat it!
Mo Ze's initial disdain for Chen An instantly turned into vigilance.
My mental label for him changed from "a smelly human" to "a smelly human who's after the little nun."
Little did he know, Chen An had designs on him.
Finally, just as Yao Yao felt that her legs were no longer hers, a city appeared before her eyes.
However, it was already late, and the city gates were closed, so the group had no choice but to stay outside for the time being.
Fortunately, there were some tents outside the city, pitched by travelers who had missed the curfew. Chen An and Abbess Huicheng negotiated with those people, and soon Yaoyao helped help the travelers pack their belongings.
They agreed to rent them a tent.
After finally managing to pack up the tent and move it outside, someone called out, "Is Young Master Chen here?"
After everyone had packed up, they went out to see who was calling them. As soon as they stepped out of the tent, they saw the same travelers from earlier in the day.
The girl who came to call for them was about 14 or 15 years old. She was a little shy when she saw Chen An. "Um, Mr. Chen, my father said that meeting is fate, and he wants you to have dinner together."
As Yao Yao watched the two talking, she inwardly scoffed, "What a hypocrite! They look respectable, but they do utterly inhuman things!"
Chen An readily agreed; why eat coarse flatbread when there's good food to eat?
Chen An naturally invited Abbess Huicheng and Yaoyao. Abbess Huicheng declined, and seeing that Abbess Huicheng had refused, Yaoyao could only decline as well. Besides, she didn't want to get too close to Chen An.
