Chapter 400: Secret Talk Outside the City



I walked towards Lingshang and Yunwen, and they leaned on my sides, one on each side. I asked, "Lingshang, didn't you say that the hyenas were expressing their homesickness when they howled like ghosts and wolves? Then correspondingly, Yunwen and Bailu's dance should also fully express this proposition. Could it be that I am overthinking it? It doesn't mean that it's just about who dances more beautifully, right?"

Ling Shang said, "Of course not. Sister Bailu's dancing is neat and tidy, while sister Yunwen's dancing is charming and unique. If the hyenas were to watch, it would be hard to tell who is better. So the dancing is irrelevant. What is relevant is their answers and interpretations of the questions, which is the key to winning."

"I know what Bai Lu meant by the hyena people's homesickness. She was simply telling the hyena people in the dance that where we live now, we have food and drink, and I, the so-called lord, can resist strong enemies, and she can cook delicious food for the hyena people and take care of them. So the homesickness's answer is that this is the hyena people's second home, and there is no need to think about their past hometown. This answer is quite pertinent. But although Yunwen's dance is graceful and relaxed, I failed to understand its meaning..." I said.

Yunwen smiled and said, "Of course I have an answer to the question, homesickness. I think it is because my answer satisfied them that they voted for me more."

"But what is your answer? I only see you waving your arms sometimes like a bird, and sometimes stretching them like flowers, as if you were just expressing some symbols casually. What is the answer?" I asked.

"That's the answer." Yunwen said.

I thought about it for a while, and then I understood it. So this is the reason. I didn't expect that one day my thinking would not be as fast as those hyena people. But it is normal. Hyena people's expression is scattered, and their way of obtaining information is naturally imaginative. Therefore, they are different from me who reason and watch according to logic. They don't pay attention to the story before and after.

"Birds, flowers, branches, and land, your answer is that nature is their home, and this island land is their home everywhere, so there is no need to miss home, because wherever they are is your home, right?" I asked.

Yunwen smiled and nodded, saying, "It seems that our husband is not stupid, right, Sister Lingshang."

"Yes, yes, I thought his comprehension was not even as good as that of a hyena." Ling Shang responded.

These two girls were really teasing me, so I immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes, I am indeed not as smart as the hyena man, but what can I do? No matter how stupid I am, I am still your husband, and you two can only suffer with me!"

After saying that, I imitated the hyenas, stretched out my hands, stuck out my tongue and chased after them. The two of them screamed and ran away. I caught up with Lingshang in a few steps and imitated the hyenas, making a sound on her face and kissing her twice. She stood there shyly covering her face. She actually teased me in front of me, so I was not polite and pounced on Yunwen like a hungry wolf again. Yunwen let out a coquettish cry and I held her tightly in my arms.

I kissed her on the face and lips a few times, and even imitated the voice of a hyena man. She was amused and laughed, saying, "You really imitated me, but if you were a hyena man, I would remarry. I don't want to give birth to a werewolf."

I smiled, and stroked her face with my hand. Looking at her tender and rosy lips, I couldn't help but kiss her twice. Her face flushed with joy. I said, "I'm sorry, there is an essential genetic difference between hyenas and wolves. I'm afraid you and I can't give birth to a werewolf. How about we try tonight?"

When she heard what I said, she patted my chest and said, "You're annoying. Everyone is watching. Let's talk about this in private."

I thought it made sense, and after being intimate with her for a while, I let her go. At that time, all the hyenas were staring at Yunwen, Lingshang and me. Perhaps these playfulness and fighting could attract them more than the dance just now, and they were very happy to see it.

After the bonfire party, everyone continued to eat and drink. Yunwen and Bailu had also livened up the atmosphere. The dancing spirits in those hyenas were aroused, and they danced more wildly. They looked incredibly ugly. The so-called ugly imitation might be the reason. We played until late at night, and everyone was exhausted. In addition, the night wind was getting colder. If we continued playing, it would not be a dinner but torture. I took advantage of the momentum and ended the celebration tonight.

Anyway, both goals have been achieved. The hyena people should have had a great time, and they have fully felt the reward and the people-friendly gesture given to them. The other goal is to make Yunwen happy, which has also been achieved. Obviously, she won the game tonight and successfully regained the title and prestige of the mistress, which made her very happy and excited.

But nothing is perfect. When some are happy, others are sad. The loser Bai Lu left here early and no one knew where to go. So after the hyena people left and returned to the house, the remaining work had to be taken care of by us. Fortunately, the two kitchen helpers and Yunwen's two hyena maids Xiaochun and Xiaoying stayed to help. I asked them to take the pots, pans, and other things to the backyard, and the tables and other things were also moved to the cave on the hillside. They were also tired, so I followed them and helped with the transportation myself.

The table, dishes, bowls, plates, iron pots, etc. were cleaned one by one to avoid affecting tomorrow's work. Bai Lu was not there when all this work was being done. She was hiding on purpose. After all, it had been such a long time, how could she not know that we had already finished the dinner? Normally, she was responsible for preparing all these, and it seemed that she was angry about this.

However, what happened tonight was her own fault. If she hadn't proposed to compete with Yunwen, there would be no need to discuss winning or losing, and everyone would have spent a normal and happy night. It can be seen that she brought trouble upon herself.

The things here were cleaned up in a blink of an eye. After extinguishing the bonfire with sand, the three of us headed back to the post station. On the way back, Ling Shang also said, "I just saw Sister Bai Lu crying. I wonder if she was particularly sad because she lost the game. Zhou Lang, since she has already committed herself to you, you should also take good care of her feelings."

"I got it. I'll comfort her when I see her later. But it was all her own idea. Since it's a competition, there will naturally be winners and losers. No one can be blamed for this," I said.

We headed for the inn, but it was pitch black inside, without a single light. I was about to get impatient, but I had encountered some setbacks, and I was too lazy to even light the oil lamp. Wasn't this intentional to prevent us from seeing the road? I couldn't help but complain, but there was no response from the upstairs.

I had no choice but to draw out the Golden Que Sword and use its Qi to shine so that I could see the road clearly. However, this was the first time I needed to draw out the sword and shine it at home. This made me feel uncomfortable. I also thought in my heart that there was no need to comfort her. I must explain clearly to her what was right and wrong, otherwise this girl Bai Lu would think that she could take advantage of me and lose her temper.

Then, with the glowing Golden Sword, we went upstairs. All the way up, the room seemed particularly empty. We went upstairs and opened the door to the second floor. Just as we were about to wake up Bai Lu, we found that the room was not only dark and empty, but there was no one in the room. Could it be that Bai Lu didn't come back? I remembered Ling Shang's words that Bai Lu ran away crying after losing. Could it be that she was so heartbroken because of this that she wanted to run away from home?

"That's not right. This is not like Bai Lu's style. She may be angry, but she would never do something like running away from home which would threaten her life." Yunwen said.

This is indeed the portrayal of Bai Lu. She has always cherished her life very much. She will never be careless or irrational when it comes to her life. But since she would not do this and she is not in this room now, what is the reason? After all, what happened is the fact.

"Bai Lu, Ling Shang, you wait for me inside the house. Maybe she is venting her anger somewhere. Anyway, the city is safe. Maybe she is hiding somewhere and wants me to find her. Then I will go look for her." I said.

The two of them waited in the house. I went out with the Golden Que Sword and searched everywhere in Dragon City. I searched the backyard, the front yard, the tunnel, the area where the hyena people lived outside the courtyard, and near the city wall, but I couldn't find it.

Just when I was panting from exhaustion, I heard some noise outside the city gate. I leaned over to listen and heard the sound of white dew...
