Chapter 614: In 614’s eyes, there is only her.
"Deal," said Ling Baobao, not doubting Mu Hanyan’s integrity and not bothering with a written agreement. As soon as she agreed, he flipped over and quickly made hand gestures.
His face no longer showed any signs of fatigue, and his eyes sparkled.
Is pork really that replenishing? Watching Ling Baobao devour a suckling pig and instantly revive to full health, Mu Hanyan was once again surprised and secretly pondered if she should also carry a few pig legs with her from now on. It seemed even more effective than those legendary Qi Replenishing Elixirs.
"Here, this is for you." Ling Baobao stopped his hand gestures and tossed a translucent, dewdrop-shaped jade stone to Mu Hanyan.
Only then did Mu Hanyan realize that he wasn’t refining Meteorite Gold, but was actually concocting this piece of jade.
"What’s this?" Mu Hanyan caught the jade and asked curiously.
The jade was extremely pure, showing no impurities, obviously a piece of top-grade jade. After Ling Baobao’s refining, intricate and mystical patterns appeared within the jade, like some never-seen-before script, imparting an intense sense of mystery.
"Just a trinket I made on the fly. It might be of some help to you. Anyway, just remember to carry it with you," said Ling Baobao nonchalantly.
"Thanks a lot." Mu Hanyan placed the jade close to her chest, hiding it well. Although she was clueless about what he had made, the beautiful jade itself was already of excellent quality, which she liked very much.
"Such developed pectorals, if I had those I definitely wouldn’t be able to hold things steady," Ling Baobao sighed with envy once more.
Mu Hanyan was just stepping out when she heard this comment and almost stumbled and fell.
A few days earlier, Ling Baobao’s envious stares made her feel awkward, so she had deliberately sewn a pocket inside her clothing specifically to hold the Exotic Beast Egg and some other important items.
Of course, Ling Baobao was unaware of this and seeing her put everything close to her chest only intensified his envy for her impressive pecs.
A person knows their own matters best, and faced with Ling Baobao’s envy, Lady Mu felt disordered once again.
...
After giving some instructions to the temporary steward, Mu Hanyan was ready to set off. But before departing, she intended to wait for someone, that was Ye Lanfeng, who had previously agreed to travel together.
It didn’t take long for Ye Lanfeng to appear in the hall with Jin Yuguang.
When Mu Cheng saw Ye Lanfeng, he was excitedly greeting her, almost as if he were wagging a tail.
However, Ye Lanfeng had eyes only for Mu Hanyan.
"Have you had breakfast?" Ye Lanfeng approached and asked Mu Hanyan.
"I have, and you?" Mu Hanyan replied and then froze for a moment looking at Ye Lanfeng, caught by how the morning light graced her face with a gentle, ineffable beauty.
"Then, let’s go," said Ye Lanfeng, who had eyes only for Mu Hanyan and naturally ignored Wu Qiuyun, Yan Yuchu, and others.
Prideful by nature, Yan Yuchu rarely regarded others, but he couldn’t maintain his pride in front of this person. Ye Lanfeng’s presence was too unfathomable. After that fleeting encounter, Wu Qiuyun curiously inquired about Ye Lanfeng’s background, but Mu Cheng could not provide an answer, not even knowing the identity of the person he so fanatically worshipped.
Jin Yuguang followed behind Ye Lanfeng and Mu Hanyan, holding an oil-paper bag with several vegetable buns, and stuffing one into his mouth. He also emitted a fragrance of roasted chestnuts. Mu Cheng looked Jin Yuguang up and down, curious, and discovered that he had stuffed more than one bag of chestnuts in his clothes pockets.
