Chapter 256 Extra: Snail Prince (13)
If it was just a simple trip, it would be very simple for Yan Fengchen and Bai Su.
But they made an appointment to travel together this time to enhance their relationship. If they let their boy turn into the original appearance of the snail and be taken along by themselves, then there would be no communication during the whole trip.
So, except for the part of the journey down the mountain, Yan Fengchen had Bai Su transformed into a conch shell and used his Qinggong skills to guide him. Once they reached the foot of the mountain, he found a deserted spot and had Bai Su transform back into his human form.
Then they went to the luxurious carriage that Master Yan had prepared in advance.
Sitting in the carriage, feeling the comfortable cushions inside and drinking the fragrant flower tea, Bai Su felt that this little life was really enjoyable.
I lifted the curtain of the carriage. The scenery outside was beautiful and the air was fresh. There was also a handsome guy in the carriage who was always caring about me.
Life is so perfect like this!
It was market day in the town at the foot of the mountain today, so it was crowded and extremely lively.
Yan Fengchen was a little uncomfortable at first, and even worried that the little demon beside him would feel uncomfortable. But when he saw the boy, who was forced to cling to him because of the crowds, and half-held in his arms, Yan Fengchen felt that a little squeeze was not bad.
Moreover, seeing his little snail monster excitedly staring at the stalls, clearly enjoying himself, he naturally had no objections and even felt that his decision to invite others out for fun was a good one.
He took Bai Su to visit many stalls, bought a lot of small things, and tasted many snacks.
As a little demon who had never traveled in the human world, Bai Su should have been curious about everything he saw.
But he is not a real little demon after all. In front of his lover, he does not need to hide too much. Having been to so many worlds, Bai Su has seen everything.
Fortunately, each world has its own characteristics. The most important thing is that being able to walk around the market with your lover will make him feel interesting and full of interest.
In particular, when he saw that he pretended not to know many things and then asked the man, who was obviously happy to answer him, he enjoyed it even more.
Yan Fengchen was indeed very patient, introducing his sweetheart one by one. They also went to the river to take a boat ride and fly kites in the open space, just like any other ordinary couple out for fun.
It was evening when we were having fun.
Seeing that Bai Su was almost done with his fun, Yan Fengchen took him to the best restaurant in town.
Although they had already eaten a lot of snacks before, those were just snacks. Two grown men couldn't fill their stomachs with just that little bit of food. What's more, Bai Su was a demon.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Yan Fengchen ordered many more dishes for Bai Su to try. He could see that the little demon's stomach was a bottomless pit.
Several nights ago, he said he couldn't eat a single drop, and he would always give up after two or three times. But now, when he encounters something he likes to eat, he can eat a lot!
In fact, the largest restaurant in the town is not very big, and the food inside is not as exquisite as the one specially provided to the leader of the Yanlong Sect. Fortunately, it has its own characteristics, and it is still very good to eat there occasionally.
Especially after a day of sightseeing, they can also drink some tea or wine and take a rest here.
Looking at his lover who was taking care of him considerately, Bai Su smiled with his eyes curved, enjoying the present moment.
However, they didn't expect that after they had sat there for a while, someone walked towards them and stood beside their table.
After picking up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Bai Su, Yan Fengchen found that the man actually sat directly at their table. He retracted his chopsticks and frowned.
He didn't like anyone disturbing his solitude with his sweetheart. When he turned around, he found that the person sitting next to him was an acquaintance, Gu Qingliu, whom he had met a few days ago.
Soon, a tall man followed. It was Gu Qingliu's partner Shi Tian.
Yan Fengchen had no ill feelings towards Gu Qingliu and Shi Tian, but now, he had no interest in chatting with them. His face looked unhappy, and his intention to send them away was obvious.
Gu Qingliu also knew that they were disturbing him, but he really had something to do, so he could only be a light bulb for the time being.
Seeing the curious look on the young man's face, he smiled at Bai Su in a friendly manner, then turned to Yan Fengchen and said, "Master Yan, long time no see."
Yan Fengchen nodded slightly when he heard that. He also guessed that the other party would not come to him for no reason, otherwise they would have left as soon as they saw his signal. Instead, he wanted to listen to what they had to say first.
Gu Qingliu and Shi Tianfu went out today because an important friend of theirs found them and said that he had a very important matter to ask them for help, hoping that they could accompany him in escorting a batch of things to the capital.
Escorting is usually done by hiring an escort agency, but this time the items they need to escort are particularly important, involving many people in the capital and even the court.
Especially since the one who came to find them was Shangguan Hao. The three of them had fought side by side on the battlefield. They were friends for life and death and had deep feelings for each other.
Shangguan Hao was really worried about entrusting this matter to other people, so he came to ask Gu Qingliu and Shi Tian for help.
However, they lived in seclusion here to stay away from disputes. Moreover, the items they were transporting were quite large, and it would not be safe for just the two of them, even if they had high martial arts skills, so they did not agree to it immediately.
Originally, Gu Qingliu and Shi Tian planned to have something to eat casually in this restaurant and then go back to discuss countermeasures, but they unexpectedly saw Yan Fengchen.
Yan Fengchen, Flame Dragon Sect! In an instant, Gu Qingliu came up with a plan. If he had the help of many masters from the Flame Dragon Sect to escort him, then it would be truly foolproof.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with his idea. Although the Yanlong Sect was a martial arts sect, these martial arts sects actually had their own livelihoods.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to survive and prosper by fighting and killing alone.
The Flame Dragon Cult owns numerous businesses and industries, even across the entire nation of Chiyan, and has made a tidings of lucrative profits over the years. Therefore, Yan Fengchen was so generous.
It is no exaggeration to say that Bai Su's current life of luxury is inseparable from these shops and industries.
"I have a business deal, and I wonder if the Flame Dragon Cult is interested."
As he spoke, Gu Qingliu briefly mentioned that he was going to escort a batch of important items, but he did not elaborate on what they were specifically. Naturally, the reward was also quite generous.
Upon hearing this, Yan Fengchen twirled the wine glass in his hand and said directly, "You specifically requested that the Flame Dragon Cult send more martial arts experts to accompany and escort the shipment. The items you're transporting are probably not simple. Could it be related to the military?"
Upon hearing Yan Fengchen's words, Shi Tian's eyes immediately turned cold. Gu Qingliu, standing beside him, immediately patted his lover's hand in a soothing gesture. His eyes flickered before he turned and smiled at Yan Fengchen, saying, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Master Yan. I wonder if Master Yan is willing to help."
Gu Qingliu had assumed that Yan Fengchen, as a man of the Jianghu, might not want to be involved in the affairs of the imperial court or the military, so he hadn't said it directly. But when he heard that he had guessed it, he secretly cursed, thinking that the Flame Dragon Cult would not accept this deal.
Unexpectedly, the other party nodded without hesitation and said, "The Flame Dragon Cult is willing to help with this, and no compensation is required."
Yan Fengchen's words made Gu Qingliu stunned. Before he could ask the reason, he heard the man opposite him say, "I still remember that a few years ago, Chiyue and my Chiyan country had a great war. At that time, General Shen Fei led the army and was once defeated by Chiyue until two people appeared on the battlefield.
They are masters of martial arts and have unique moves. They each hold a black and a white steel knife and are known as the Twin Demons.
They had managed to infiltrate the enemy's base camp, kill their military advisor, and cut off Red Moon's fire bombs. Later, they led the soldiers to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, thus turning the tide of the battle.
But after the war was won, these two disappeared, and many people didn't even know their real names."
As he spoke, Yan Fengchen took a sip of the wine in his glass and looked at Gu Qingliu, his words speaking volumes. After a moment, he added, "My Flame Dragon Sect is also within the Chiyan Territory, and our followers are also citizens of the Chiyan Nation."
Gu Qingliu didn't expect that the other party would guess his and Shi Tian's identities, but he felt that everything was reasonable. After hearing the other party's last words, he showed a sincere smile.
The two quickly hit it off and finalized the escort arrangements. Yan Fengchen also stated that upon his return, he would personally arrange for his subordinates to contact them, naturally, using the sect's top experts. After that, Yan Fengchen didn't need to worry about anything else.
After finishing the business, Gu Qingliu turned to look at Bai Su, who had been staring at them, and said with a smile: "I was busy talking about business just now and didn't ask you, who is this person..."
Before Yan Fengchen could say anything, Bai Su replied directly: "I'm Bai Su, Fengchen's friend."
Bai Su paused noticeably when he mentioned "friend." But now that he thought about it, even though he and Yan Fengchen were very close, they had never really broken through that barrier. His lover was still using the excuse of helping him cultivate to become a great demon. Speaking of their relationship, they were just friends.
Bai Su was indeed very interested in Gu Qingliu and Shi Tian, and was also a little curious. After all, Gu Qingliu was a time traveler, and was originally an interstellar admiral known as the Blade of the Empire.
This world is just a low-level plane for him. He not only has a huge mental power, but also carries a mecha system called Jackdaw. He could have stirred up the world, but he chose to stay with his lover in the countryside and live an ordinary life.
Everyone has different pursuits, and Bai Su thinks Gu Qingliu is just fine this way. During the conversation, he could sense that he was a smart and insightful person.
So, he secretly winked at Gu Qingliu and glanced at Yan Fengchen who was standing next to him, lowering his head to pick up some food for him.
Gu Qingliu watched them get along and initially thought it was a little strange that Bai Su only said they were friends. But after seeing their expressions, he immediately understood.
Gu Qingliu was known for his versatility; if he wanted to make friends with someone, he could easily curry their favor. Bai Su was also willing to cooperate, and the two of them soon fell into a lively conversation.
Judging from their looks, we seem to get along very well.
He could tell that Yan Fengchen and the young man liked each other, and the young man seemed to want him to do a favor to advance their relationship, so he was naturally happy to oblige.
