Journey · Guangzhou arc (nine): The free-range egg and the bright moon both have feelings~

(Friendly reminder: This chapter contains content that may be excessive.)

After visiting Baizhi's clinic, Xiao Ling and her group headed to their next destination.

"Brother Qiuyuan has also settled down around here?"

"That's right, I asked him to look for you in this city, but in the end, he found nothing."

"That's because my home isn't here..."

Xiao Ling seemed to be deep in thought. He remembered that Qiuyuan serious injuries, and wondered if this had any impact on his life in this world.

"Ah, we've arrived. That's Brother Qiuyuan's residence up ahead." Jinhsi pointed to a brick house on the left at the end of the road.

"It looks a bit shabby, doesn't it?" Aemeath pondered, tapping her chin. "Will Uncle Qiuyuan really be able to get used to living here?"

"Young Master Qiu... his identity is rather special. He often wanders the world and has no fixed abode. It is already a great blessing for him that he can settle down now. He will not be concerned about the quality of his living environment," Suisui explained gently from the side.

As the head of the Chamber of Commerce, Suisui knew a little about Qiuyuan's affairs. He was wanted for plotting to murder Liang Dongyuan, the leader of the Mingting, and was now just a fugitive.

However, after carefully reading through the plot, she learned that the story of Qiu Yuan plotting to kill Liang Dongyuan was Qiuyuan fabricated. Fractsidus frame Qiu Yuan for the Qiuyuan, causing him to lose his job and become a fugitive.

Looking back now, Mingting is far from peaceful. I just hope my parents can stay safe amidst this turmoil and not get caught up in any huge trouble.

"Sister, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

The gentle voice brought Suisui back to reality from her wandering thoughts. She turned her head to look at Yangyang, who was looking at her with a worried expression.

"No~" Suisui immediately put on a lively smile, "I was just thinking about something."

"Sister, please don't push yourself. If you feel unwell, please tell me immediately!"

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

"I was wondering why a familiar scent was carried on the wind, but I never expected it to be an old friend coming to see me." Qiuyuan took a sip of tea and greeted, "Long time no see, Rover."

"It's been a while, Brother Qiuyuan." Xiao Ling also took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

In fact, Xiao Ling could see Qiu Yuan every two or three days, but Qiuyuan would play "Even the moon has feelings for the local eggs" while talking to Xiao Ling alone, and even come up with a bunch of tricks.

(Just how much damage would it take to say that a single strike is enough?)

"Young Master Qiu, is this our first meeting?" Suisui said with a polite smile. "I apologize for the intrusion."

"Miss Suisui, there's no need for you to be so polite. Since you are a friend of the Rover, I will naturally treat you with the utmost courtesy."

"However, there is one thing I don't understand: why do you, Rover, hold the poultry in your bosom?"

"Yes, I was just about to ask, Brother Ling, why did you put Young Master Qiu's chickens in your arms?" Suisui looked at Xiao Ling with the same puzzlement.

"Don't you think this chicken is beautiful?" Shenrenling is making a limited-time return.

"I wonder, perhaps you, Rover, can perceive its uniqueness?"

"All I know is that it would taste delicious as a dish; my father is very good at making it."

"My mouth is watering, Sister Suisui."

"Huh? What? Is there anything?" Suisui subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth, only to find nothing there. She immediately realized she'd been tricked, picked up her fan, and started hitting Xiao Ling with it. "Oh, you're making fun of me!"

"Sister Suisui, you were wrong! Be gentle!"

Brother Ji... or rather Chicken Sister, seizing the moment when Xiao Ling was being beaten, flew out directly. Now free, she strolled leisurely around the yard, casually pecking at some feed that Qiu Yuan had Qiuyuan in the basin.

"The Malan flowers bloom at twenty-one, two-five-six, two-five-seven, two-eight, two-nine, thirty-one..."

Outside in the yard, Aemeath, Yangyang, and Jinhsi were playing jump rope with the other children.

"Oops... I missed the beat..."

The singing stopped abruptly, Jinhsi was somewhat annoyed. She hadn't been able to keep up with the rhythm of the nursery rhyme and had unfortunately lost.

"My turn! My turn!" Aemeath jumped to the rubber band, full of enthusiasm. "I'm ready! Let's start!"

Then the familiar nursery rhyme started playing again, and Aemeath stepped on the rubber band to the beat. Her movements were so elegant and her rhythm so accurate that Yangyang and Jinhsi couldn't help but show their admiration.

"It seems Aemeath is surprisingly good at this," Jinhsi whispered to Yangyang beside her.

"After all, Little Ai is a singer, and singers definitely have a stronger grasp of rhythm," Yangyang explained.

"Speaking of which, Yangyang, did you experience any unusual reactions after your Resonance Ability was fully restored?"

"I feel generally okay. I think I can do more things now than before."

"That's good." Jinhsi smiled.

"Alright! Perfect pass! Yangyang, it's your turn!" After Aemeath's beautiful pass, she quickly called out to the next contestant.

"Oh, here you are!"

Yangyang walked towards the rubber band rather cautiously, took a deep breath, and then focused intently on stepping on it to the beat.

... Then I made a mistake on the very first shot, what a bad start!

"Oops..." Yangyang said awkwardly, "How could I have made a mistake on the very first shot..."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning~ Come on Yangyang, I'll teach you, like this!" Aemeath demonstrated for Yangyang, "You don't need to be so tense, this isn't a battlefield, and neither is Xixi, relax, it's just a game."

Yangyang reflected on her behavior just now and realized that she had indeed been a little too nervous.

After the demonstration, Aemeath returned the stage to Yangyang.

Having learned from her previous experience, Yangyang calmed down and started jumping rope smoothly to the rhythm.

"Yes, yes, that's it! Yangyang is amazing!" Aemeath clapped and praised.

Once Yangyang found her rhythm, she quickly got into the zone, and her movements became increasingly fluid, showing a tendency to keep pace with Aemeath.

Jinhsi: So I'm the only one who's clumsy? No, Xixi.

However, this joyful time did not last long before it was broken by another burst of noise.

"Ouch!"

It was unclear which child shouted, but Aemeath, who were playing the game, turned around and saw a little girl who looked about four or five years old being unfairly ganged up on by Brother Ji.

"Sorry, we need to pause the game for a bit; the ladies have some important things to do~"

After giving a brief instruction to the children who were having a great time, Aemeath, along with the understanding Yangyang and Jinhsi, went to rescue the little girl who was trapped in the middle of the rooster.

In fact, it didn't take them much effort to resolve this little incident. It was simply that Jinhsi used her power of time to freeze the two roosters, and then Yangyang and Aemeath each used their bows to capture the two suspect roosters.

However, it seems that Aemeath a bit too much force, and the excessive force caused one of the chickens to die on the spot.

"Uh, it seems to be dead..." Aemeath looked at the lifeless rooster in her hand and smiled somewhat awkwardly...

Yangyang and Jinhsi, standing to the side, were somewhat taken aback, and after a long silence, they finally managed an awkward yet polite smile.

Well... anyway, maybe, probably, perhaps, maybe, it's time for an extra meal?

The other suspected chicken, having witnessed its companion's tragic end, remained obedient and dared not move. After all, who could guarantee that the Haki who had captured it wouldn't impulsively strangle it too...?

Brother Ji: What are you doing? Haha, ouch~
