Chapter 136 "Wife, I miss you so much."
"Wife, how can this be called eavesdropping?"
"As your beastly husband, I should always be by your side."
Tu Shanyi was still singing in the same weird tune as before.
This sense of familiarity made Sheng Ran certain that this was him!
She was both embarrassed and angry, and reached out to pull the bell off and throw it away.
Let him talk nonsense!
"Don't throw it!" Tu Shanyi's voice immediately became tense. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop!"
"This secret technique has a range limit. If you're too far away, you can't hear it at all. Only when you get close to the central city will the signal become stronger... No, it's the thought that can be transmitted more clearly."
"Otherwise, I would have had a conversation with you a long time ago. Why wait until now?"
Sheng Ran's hand stopped in mid-air, feeling angry and a little reluctant.
No matter what, the bell did save her and Pei Xiaoxing at the critical moment.
"What have you been doing since you left me?" Sheng Ran's tone softened a bit, but still contained a hint of anger. "Didn't you agree that you would come find me after you finished dealing with the matter in Beining City?"
Lingling was silent for a moment, and Sheng Ran finally thought she could hear some serious words from him. A low laugh echoed in the quiet night sky.
Tu Shanyi's clear and magnetic voice rang out from the bell, so real that it seemed as if he was right next to her.
"My dear wife, your speaking skills are improving rapidly."
"Now I can speak such long sentences."
His tone was full of praise, as if he was trying to cheer up a child who had just learned to speak.
Sheng Ran was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Can this fox please think about something serious?!
She angrily threw the bell onto the muddy ground.
In the end, I held back and didn't have the heart to throw it too far.
The bell was buried in the mud and weeds, and Tu Shanyi's voice became smaller and muffled, but it still did not stop.
"When I left you, you couldn't utter a single word. But now you can express what you want to say so fluently and clearly."
"I really want to be by my wife's side and hear you speak in person."
"I'd rather see your face."
"Wife, I miss you so much."
For some reason, just by hearing his voice, Sheng Ran immediately recalled the scene when his nine tails were tightly wrapped around her, hugging and rubbing her waist.
This Tu Shanyi... is really shameless.
The temperature rose to Sheng Ran's ears. She suddenly squatted down, shyly covering most of her face, and then carefully picked up the bell from the messy pile of mud.
She wiped the stains off the bell with a clean handkerchief.
Tu Shanyi's ending tone was lingering: "Wife master..."
Sheng Ran wanted to tell him to shut up, but Tu Shanyi then turned serious: "Originally, I did intend to deal with it quickly and then return to you."
"But something urgent suddenly came up."
"Believe me, you'll be in for a surprise when you get to Central City."
"Surprise?" Sheng Ran frowned and asked in confusion, "What surprise?"
"Keep it secret for now." Tu Shanyi returned to his cunning tone.
"By the way, I sensed through the bell that you used the vines to save someone today. Your power is getting stronger, so remember to use it with caution and don't get hurt."
Sheng Ran's heart moved: "Do you know what this power is?"
"I don't know. I only know that my wife is very powerful." Tu Shanyi's voice was a little proud.
I don’t know if he is busy over there or what he is doing.
When Sheng Ran came to her senses, she realized that Tu Shanyi had been patiently chatting with her for a long time.
"Go to sleep quickly. We have to travel tomorrow. I will always watch over you and won't let anything happen to you."
After saying that, the bell became completely quiet, and no matter how Sheng Ran shook it, it made no sound.
Sheng Ran pinched the cold bell, feeling mixed emotions.
It was an uncomfortable feeling to be monitored, but when she thought that it was Tu Shanyi who did it, she gradually accepted it.
Not only did he not leave, he could even sense her safety through the bell, and said that what he was preparing now was a surprise for her.
Sheng Ran did not have excessive expectations. As long as she was sure that he was still there and safe, her anger would be mostly gone.
She tied the bell back on and placed it close to her body, as if she could feel the warmth from Tu Shanyi coming from the other end.
"Stinky fox." She muttered softly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
That night, Sheng Ran slept exceptionally soundly. There were no trucks or white lights in her dreams.
There was only a meadow full of unknown wild flowers. Tu Shanyi's nine-tailed beast was faintly visible among the flowers. The other beast husbands were also there, smiling and waving at her.
After walking for another two days, the group finally arrived at the first capital in the south - Yuhua City.
As soon as I entered the city gate, I was surrounded by the rich fragrance of flowers.
The city lives up to its name, with all sorts of flowers planted in every street and alley.
Even tiny flowers sprouted from the cracks in the bricks of the city wall, and the air was filled with a sweet fragrance.
For this reason, everyone unanimously chose Yuhua City as their first stop in the south.
"Let's find an inn first."
Sheng Ran felt distressed when she saw the beastly husbands looking exhausted.
Although the wound on Pei Xiaoxing's shoulder had healed, it still hurt occasionally.
Because Zhu Jiuyin's soul is incomplete, he often falls into a brief state of unconsciousness.
Yun Ling, Ling Rui and Huai Jun also lost weight.
They found an inn in the city center called "Baihualou", which was a very appropriate name.
The shopkeeper was a amiable middle-aged orc. When he saw Sheng Ran with five imposing orcs, his eyes lit up and he quickly arranged the most spacious yard for them.
"My dear wife, please take a rest first. I'll go buy some herbs." Pei Xiaoxing put down his bag and was about to go out.
"I'll go." Sheng Ran stopped him and took out her purse from her bag. "You're all exhausted, take a good rest. I also want to go shopping in Yuhua City."
The beastly husbands were worried and finally decided to let Yun Ling go with her.
The market in Yuhua City is more lively than that in Beining City, with hawking sounds coming one after another.
The roadside stalls are filled with novel gadgets, including glowing flower seeds, grass leaves that can heal minor injuries, and various cakes made with flower petals.
Sheng Ran bought some herbs for treating external injuries, and couldn't help but buy two boxes of Baihua Su, thinking of going back to give them to the beastly husbands to try.
Yun Ling followed behind her, carrying things silently, scanning the surroundings vigilantly, like a responsible guard.
“There are so many flowers here.”
Sheng Ran looked at the clusters of orchids blooming brightly on the roadside and couldn't help but stop. Her eyes were then attracted by a pot of wilted orchids in the corner of the stall.
Most of the leaves of the jasmine flower had turned yellow, and the flower buds had shrunk into a small ball, and it was about to wither and die.
The stall owner was a white-haired old woman who was wiping the flower pots with a cloth, sighing: "How come the flowers were so good that they wilted so suddenly..."
Sheng Ran's heart moved, and while the old woman turned around to greet other guests, she quietly touched the leaves of the orchid with her fingertips.
At the moment of touch, a familiar warm current flowed out from the fingertips and penetrated into the flower stem.
A miracle happened——
The withered yellow leaves turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the curled up flower buds slowly stretched out, and two of them actually bloomed directly.
There are still crystal dewdrops on the white petals, as if they have just been moistened by the morning dew.
