Chapter 177 Meng Yu Infringes on Guan Yue
"Ningbao! What's wrong?!" Ruixue had been waiting outside the hall. When she saw that Su Yuyao was angry, she rushed into the hall.
"Miss Ningbao!" Shadow and Sandstorm rushed in with Ruixue.
"Don't you guys know the rules?! How could you just barge in like that?!" Qingyue already looked down on Ruixue, and was even more wary of the wolf cubs beside Su Yuyao.
"Mother! They are my people! I won't allow you to be harsh with them!" Su Yuyao ran to Ruixue's side, spreading her arms to protect the group, and said, "I'm able to survive in the Wolf Clan thanks to them! Not to mention the younger ones, just take the trip to the Heavenly Palace, Shadow and Sandstorm protected and took care of me the whole way! This time when we went to Xunyin Valley, Ruixue was by my side the whole time! They've treated me so well, so I have to prove them wrong! I can't let my brothers' efforts be in vain!"
"Yao'er!" Qingyue clenched her handkerchief, glared at Su Yuyao, and said, suppressing her anger, "Even though you are the leader of the wolf clan, you should still know your limits!"
"What sense of propriety?!" Su Yuyao raised her chin and said, "When they saved me and protected me, they told us to be mindful of propriety! But what about Xuanfeng?! He and Qilan were naked together! Why didn't you tell him to be mindful of propriety?!"
"Su Yuyao!" Su Yuyao's words completely enraged Qingyue. Qingyue glared at her and slammed the palace door shut.
Seeing this, Ruixue quickly stepped in front of Su Yuyao, with Shadow and Sandstorm protecting Su Yuyao on either side.
Ruixue glanced at Xuanfeng on the throne and said, "Your Highness Qingyue! Ningbao is our leader, and our duty is to obey her and protect her! We have a clear conscience! But Lord Xuanfeng has violated the rules of the wolf clan time and time again, and you turn a blind eye to it, and even blame us for no reason?"
"Alright!" Xuanfeng shouted awkwardly. He had been in control, but suddenly he was being inexplicably scolded. "Let's talk about the Four Little Peaks now! We'll talk about other things later!"
Su Yuyao peeked out from behind Ruixue and said, "It's about the Four Little Peaks! We took down the Four Little Peaks and made all the arrangements perfectly, and you come here and try to steal them? You don't even leave us any benefits?!"
Xuanfeng sighed helplessly and said, "Girl, we really can't discuss the branch here. As for the grassland, you should know why we can't hand it over to you! Why are you making things difficult for me?!"
“I won’t make things difficult for you!” Su Yuyao leaned forward and said, “Let’s sign an agreement! Hand over the Snow Mountain to my name. I’m not greedy. We don’t want the management rights of the four small peaks’ branches, but their branches are at least on our Snow Mountain’s branch, so they should give us some incense money! As for the grassland, I know what you’re worried about. We can guard it for you, but in exchange, we want the right to use it. That’s better than you sending extra people, right? Also, to prevent future chaos, the wolf clan members of Buqiong Peak cannot be withdrawn! But you can send people to the Buqiong Peak branch. I think Baihu and Zangmao are good choices! Although Fengzhan’s combat strength is a bit weak, he flies well…”
Su Yuyao listed them one by one, making Ruixue feel guilty and her heart pound. The more she listened, the more it sounded like an unfair contract!
Xuanfeng was initially a little angry, but Su Yuyao's increasingly outrageous demands almost made him burst out laughing.
Qi Men stroked his beard and squinted at Xuan Feng and Su Yuyao. What a pair of sworn enemies! They're both so cunning; let's see who can outsmart whom!
Qi Meng remained silent, standing to the side with his hands behind his back, watching Su Yuyao argue. He felt very gratified. Although she was somewhat domineering, her arguments were reasonable and well-founded. No wonder she was a descendant of the mountain god! No wonder the canary bowed to Yao'er. I never thought I would have this honor!
"Hahahahahahaha!" Qi Meng was thinking to himself when he couldn't help but laugh, which drew everyone's attention.
"Immortal Master! You also think what I said makes sense, right?" Su Yuyao asked with a smile.
Qi Meng nodded. "Well-reasoned and well-founded, not bad! Not bad!"
"Ahem!" Qi Men cleared his throat and said, "It's getting late, Yao'er must be tired from traveling all the way back! Why don't you go back and rest first!"
Xuanfeng flipped through the reports on the table and said, "Aunt, please take the maid back. I still have some official business to attend to..."
Qingyue calmed her agitated emotions and nodded in response, "Understood!"
Surrounded by onlookers in Langzhi's arms, Xuanmiao showed no stage fright whatsoever. She raised her little arms, kicked her little legs, and giggled at everyone.
Whoosh!
The branches in the distance began to tremble violently, and Xuanmiao stopped laughing and stared at the swaying branches.
"Hmm! What are you looking at, little one?" Lang Zhi followed Xuanmiao's gaze upwards and also noticed the unusual shape of the tree branch. More and more people began to gather around Guan Yue's body.
"Damn it! Stop!" Guan Yue, perched on a tree branch, cursed, his voice trembling. "They've found us!"
Meng Yu, however, was sprinting and couldn't stop at all. "Go! Now!"
"Bastard!" Guan Yue cursed through gritted teeth.
Fluttering, fluttering!
An eagle flew out from the tree branch above Meng Yu's head, hovering in front of everyone and obscuring the disheveled Meng Yu and Guan Yue.
"Flying Eagle? What are you doing up there?!" Langzhi shouted.
The eagle slowly descended, transformed into human form, and said, "I...I want to see Miss Miao'er..."
Everyone burst into laughter and joked, "Hey! Flying Eagle! Still haven't had enough of watching?!"
Langzhi rolled her eyes and protected Xuanmiao even more tightly.
Meng Yu, perched on a tree branch, embraced Guan Yue and leaped into the woods, disappearing into the thicket.
"Bastard!" Guan Yue cursed, his eyes red.
Meng Yu chuckled as he helped Guan Yue fasten his belt, pinched Guan Yue's cheek, and said, "Guan Yue, from now on you're mine! You're not allowed to fall for anyone else! Do you hear me?!"
Guan Yue clenched his collar, tears streaming down his face, his lips trembling, and whispered, "You, get out of here."
Meng Yu could see Guan Yue's anger, but he couldn't control his possessiveness towards Guan Yue, which led him to impulsively cross the line. He had indeed acted rather improperly.
"Okay..." Meng Yu's voice softened as he stroked Guan Yue's hand. "Don't be angry, it's all my fault, I couldn't control myself..."
"Get out!" Guan Yue pushed Meng Yu's hand away and stood up abruptly, but the pain in his body made him stagger.
Meng Yu quickly stepped forward to help him up, asking with concern, "Is it very painful?"
“Meng Yu,” Guan Yue pushed Meng Yu’s hand away, stood up straight, and said seriously, “From now on, we are no longer friends! If you ever treat me again…” Guan Yue paused, choking back tears, and said, “Don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
After he finished speaking, Guan Yue's aura trembled, the bushes parted to the sides, and he straightened his body and resolutely walked out.
"Guan Yue! Are you angry?!" Meng Yu hurriedly pulled up his pants and chased after him. "Don't be angry! I was wrong! I shouldn't have hurt you..."
Guan Yue roared in shame and indignation, "Is it about the pain... ugh!"
Before Guan Yue could finish speaking, Meng Yu covered his mouth again.
"My goodness! Keep your voice down!" Meng Yu said in a low voice.
"Meng Yu!" Qi Meng's voice drifted over, "What are you doing?! Come out here! We should go back!"
Meng Yu covered Guan Yue's mouth tightly, and replied loudly with a grin, "Okay! My stomach hurts! I'll be done soon!"
Guan Yue frowned and pushed Meng Yu's hand away, saying with a look of disgust, "It's filthy..."
Meng Yu admired Guan Yue's sullen face. "I didn't even look down on you, but you look down on yourself?!"
Guan Yue's eyes widened in surprise, his expression suddenly turned cold, he shook off Meng Yu's hand and strode away.
"Meng Yu... how come you... oh... it's Guan Yue?" Qi Meng stood outside the woods, looking at Guan Yue with some surprise, and then glancing nervously behind Guan Yue.
Guan Yue glanced at Yuantun Hall. There were far fewer onlookers outside the hall, and the remaining people were all waiting respectfully to report their matters.
"Su Yuyao is gone?" Guan Yue asked with some disappointment.
“Yao’er took the children back to the thatched hut, and the children from Jiujiao Mountain went with them. Why don’t you…” Qi Meng said softly.
"Oh... thank you, sir!" Guan Yue bowed slightly. "Please show me the way..."
"Guan Yue! Guan Yue! I'll take you to find Yao'er!" Meng Yu said with a smile as he crawled out of the bushes.
Qi Meng could tell from Meng Yu's smug look that Guan Yue had been wronged.
"Meng Yu!" Qi Meng said coldly, "You're coming back with me!"
Meng Yu glanced at Guan Yue reluctantly, then said with a grin, "Immortal Master! I've finally managed to see Guan Yue, so please let me spend more time with him! He doesn't know the way!"
Qi Meng wanted nothing more than to slap him, but out of consideration for others, he could only glare fiercely at Meng Yu and say in a low voice, "Aren't you ashamed enough?! Get back here right now!"
Meng Yu then reluctantly retreated behind Qi Meng.
Qi Meng looked at Guan Yue, whose brows were furrowed, and said softly, "Young Master Guan Yue, Meng Yu is too reckless and has wronged you. Please don't take it to heart! I'll teach him a lesson when we get back!"
Guan Yue lowered his head slightly but did not respond. A long-hidden sense of inferiority surged within him again; he seemed to smell the nauseating stench emanating from himself once more. Everything Meng Yu had just done, although he had considered his own feelings throughout, was still no different from what those people had done.
He didn't want to see Meng Yu anymore, nor did he want to exchange pleasantries with Qi Meng. He wanted to leave this place immediately, but... where could he find Su Yuyao?
"Young Master Guan Yue!" Flying Eagle called from afar, "Miss Yao'er wants you to come over!"
Guan Yue looked up at the tall figure in the distance, felt a warmth in his heart, nodded, and quickly walked over.
"What?! Why would Yao'er send Flying Eagle to summon Guan Yue?!" Meng Yu said indignantly. "It's clearly that brat Flying Eagle playing a trick! Immortal Master, I'm going to take a look!"
"Stop right there!" Qi Meng said angrily, his face flushed. "You bastard! Do you think I can't see what you've done?! Go back and accept your punishment! Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
"Immortal Master!" Meng Yu looked at Qi Meng with anticipation. "Since you've figured it out, please go and ask for my hand in marriage!"
"Fool! Young Master Guan Yue is already of marriageable age, yet no one has proposed marriage to him. Don't you even think about why?!"
"Why?" Meng Yu asked, blinking her eyes.
"He's sick! He has a heart condition! He can't let anyone near him! Who can live with him?!" Qi Meng said, pulling Meng Yu along as they walked. "You treated him like that just now, and he didn't cripple you, maybe because of the adults and me! You should have less contact with him in the future! If you really like him, I'll find you a better one!"
“Immortal Master… I just like him…” Seeing that Qi Meng wasn’t really blaming him, but instead was trying to play matchmaker for him, Meng Yu finally opened up and said, “I’ve liked him since the first time I saw him!”
"What?! The first time you met him, you..." Qi Meng grabbed Meng Yu's wrist in shock, "Does Lord Xuanfeng know about this?"
"What?! I fell in love with him at first sight! Lord Xuanfeng doesn't know! If he knew, would I even be alive?" Meng Yu grabbed Qi Meng's arm and said, "Immortal Master, I really like Guan Yue. The fact that he didn't resist just now means he doesn't dislike me! I think we can still..."
"No! I disagree!" Qi Meng refused decisively. "You get back to your secluded cultivation right now!"
"Oh dear... please don't break up this loving couple..."
...
Flying Eagle walked silently ahead, while Guan Yue followed behind with his head down. The sun was setting, and the afterglow bathed the entire hillside in a crimson glow.
"It's right there!" Flying Eagle stopped and pointed to a fork in the road halfway up the mountain. "Go in from there, and you'll find Lord Xuanfeng and Miss Yao'er's hut! The wolf clan and the children from Nine Suburbs Mountain have already gone there! It's quite lively! However, Lord Langzhi and Lady Qingyue are also there, so you still need to be careful..."
Guan Yue stepped forward, looked in the direction the flying eagle was pointing, and vaguely heard the sounds of children laughing.
"Thank you!" Guan Yue finally spoke.
Flying Eagle bowed and replied, "No need to be polite, I'll be going now."
Guan Yue lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Uh... thank you for earlier..."
Flying Eagle was slightly taken aback and said, "Just now... why did you thank me? I didn't know anything!"
Guan Yue looked up in confusion and saw Fei Ying's handsome face displaying a warm smile under the orange-red sunlight.
"You...just now..."
"I...didn't see anything! Goodbye!" Flying Eagle said to Guan Yue with a smile, then turned and left.
Guan Yue watched the eagle's retreating figure slowly disappear, and bowed deeply in gratitude...
The area in front of Su Yuyao's thatched hut was unusually lively!
The wolf clan's young men built a bonfire, roasted lamb, and drank wine around it!
The children from Jiujiao Mountain were also given a jar of strong liquor. They eagerly took a sip, only to be met with grimaces from the spiciness.
Su Yuyao peered through the crack in the window at Baihu, who was crying from the spiciness, and laughed heartily.
"Yao'er!" Qingyue called softly, "Come and take a bath!"
Su Yuyao pouted and said unhappily, "Take a shower again?! Every time we meet, it's the same old shower! Am I that dirty?"
Su'e happily carried Xuanmiao into the room. "Your Majesty, Miao'er needs a bath eventually. Why don't we let Miao'er and Miss Yao'er bathe together?"
Qingyue quickly hugged Xuanmiao, "Alright, you two can bathe together!"
Su Yuyao took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub by herself, while Qingyue and Su'e were still teasing Xuanmiao.
"Mother! Granny Su'e! When are you going to bring Miao'er here?" Su Yuyao pouted. "I think you only like her and don't care about me at all!"
Qingyue quickly handed Xuanmiao to Su'e, sat down on the edge of the bathtub, and laughed, "You, as a mother, are you competing for favor with your own daughter?"
Su Yuyao said somewhat dejectedly, "Who doesn't want to be pampered! After Miao'er was born, you all went to pamper Miao'er, and no one pampered me anymore..."
Qingyue's heart sank slightly. She gently untied Su Yuyao's braid. "Yao'er, everyone loves Miao'er, isn't it because she's your daughter? This is called loving the house because of its inhabitants!"
"Ah...get lost..." Xuanmiao was still immersed in the excitement of teasing everyone earlier. When she saw Su Yuyao glaring at her, she quickly shut her mouth and smiled awkwardly.
Su'e gently placed the chubby Xuanmiao on the chest of the equally chubby Su Yuyao, saying, "This Miao'er is just so adorable!"
Su Yuyao said with a hint of pride, "Of course! Don't you even know who her real mother is!"
Looking at the two children in the bathtub, who looked like jade dolls, Qingyue felt a blissful fullness in her heart.
Su Yuyao held Xuanmiao's little bottom and, seeing the bruises on her skin, guiltily hugged Xuanmiao in her arms.
Xuanmiao, oblivious to Su Yuyao's feelings of guilt, instead lay on Su Yuyao's bare chest, pinching her nipples and stuffing them into his mouth, making Qingyue and Su'e burst into laughter...
Su Yuyao blushed and pointed at Xuanmiao's chubby little face, "Little foodie! All you ever think about is food!"
Guan Yue followed the children's laughter and found Su Yuyao's thatched hut. From afar, he could smell the aroma of roasted meat and the strong smell of alcohol.
"Guan Yue?! Why are you so late!" Lang Zhi, his cheeks flushed from drinking, pointed at the white tiger and the Tibetan cat sleeping under the wolf's belly and said, "Look at those two, they can't hold their liquor, they only had one sip and they're already drunk!"
Guan Yue walked to the shadow's side. The shadow slightly raised its leg, and saw that the white tiger and the Tibetan cat were sleeping soundly under the shadow's belly.
Guan Yue crouched down and sniffed the wine, then looked at the wine jar in Baihu's hand. "Did he... take a sip?"
Shadow licked the tip of her nose, glanced at Langzhi, and hesitated whether to put her raised leg down or not.
“These kids have big mouths, they tasted a whole jar in one go!” Langzhi said with a smile.
Guan Yue looked again, "Where's Feng Zhan?"
Langzhi laughed and pointed to the thatched hut, "There it is! He drank too much and went to sleep on the roof!"
Guan Yue sighed softly, "It seems we can't go back today."
"Why go back?! Let's have a good time today!" Lang Zhi was very happy, firstly because he had returned home, and secondly because Qing Yue had also returned.
After taking a bath and nursing her baby, Su Yuyao appeared before everyone with her half-dry hair loose and wearing the light green Heavenly Palace Feather Dress that Jin Yu had given her, like a fairy in the forest.
"I'm here!" Su Yuyao ran to Ruixue's side, lifting her skirt. "Quick, give me a piece of meat! I'm so hungry!"
Ruixue smiled, picked up a roasted lamb leg, carefully tore off a piece of meat, and put it into Su Yuyao's mouth. "Be careful, it's hot. Is it good?"
While chewing on the meat, Su Yuyao clapped her hands and said, "Ruixue! Your grilled meat is getting better and better! It's almost as good as your mother's!"
"Su Yuyao!" Guan Yue called out softly.
"Huh? Brother Yue'er!" Su Yuyao excitedly rushed over and grabbed Guan Yue's arm, saying, "Why did you take so long to get here?"
Guan Yue's smile froze for a moment, and he said, "Something came up earlier... Are you... alright?"
With a bright, moon-like smile, Su Yuyao said, "I'm great! I had a baby! You wait! I'll bring it to you!"
