Chapter 317: Jealousy and a Sack
Chapter 317: Jealousy and a Sack
"How should we act?" Bai Yuwei's eyes sparkled, and without exaggeration, they seemed to emit a green light.
It wasn't her fault; she had contributed so much to the family, and every time, she was the one who turned the tide.
Without her, the family would fall apart!
So this time, she was bound to receive the most challenging and crucial mission.
Bai Yuwei clenched her fist, "This is what they call 'Burdened and Long Journey'!"
Meng Qianqian smiled at her eagerness, "Little sister, you're quite good with idioms."
"Huh?"
Bai Yuwei was taken aback and turned her face away, "Who asked you to praise me?"
Tan Er hugged herself, "What's wrong with praising you? You're so capable, it's hard to please you!"
Bai Yuwei glared at Tan Er, "What's it to you?"
Tan Er stuck out her tongue and made a silly face, "Just kidding!"
Bai Yuwei choked, but as a Miaojiang young lady, she couldn't bring herself to do something so childish.
Meng Qianqian opened a delicate brocade box, inside which were the disguise tools that Luo San had willingly left for them, not stolen.
In addition to numerous human skin masks, there were also various strange pills and ointments, each with its unique effect. Some could make one's voice hoarse, change skin color, or even false mustaches and eyebrows...
Meng Qianqian was truly amazed, "Wow, this skill is not simple at all."
Tan Er curiously rummaged through the box and took out two fake mustaches, sticking them on herself.
Bai Yuwei couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Tan Er's appearance as an old man was truly hilarious.
Meng Qianqian selected a human skin mask of Luo San and said to Lu Yuan, "Get ready, you'll be Luo San from now on."
Lu Yuan's face showed clear rejection.
Meng Qianqian gently coaxed, "It's very clean. Luo San made it last night and hasn't worn it before."
Although it was called a human skin mask, it wasn't made from real human skin. It was named so because it resembled human skin.
Bai Yuwei was caught off guard and was ambushed by Tan Er, who stuck a goat beard on her.
She glared at Tan Er but found it amusing, so instead of immediately removing the beard, she stroked it and asked the couple, "Are you really not going to tell the others?"
She was referring to Lu Yuan's survival and the identity swap with Luo San.
The 'others' she mentioned were Nurse Li, Madam Wan, and Ban Xia.
Upon learning of Lu Yuan's supposed death and the need to secretly go to Miaojiang for treatment, they were deeply saddened, especially Nurse Li and Ban Xia, who cried for half the night, fearing that Meng Qianqian would be widowed again.
Hearing this, Tan Er also sighed in sympathy, "Yes, Nurse Li and Ban Xia cried so sadly!"
Meng Qianqian shook her head, "Let's wait for the right moment to tell them."
It was an unavoidable situation.
The lives of Second Uncle and Second Aunt's child were at stake, and the fewer people who knew the truth, the better.
Moreover, Nurse Li and the others were ordinary people, and if they didn't believe it themselves, it would be difficult to convince others.
Changing the topic, Meng Qianqian asked, "By the way, is the secret technique of reviving the dead real?"
Bai Yuwei patted her chest, "Of course, it's real!"
Tan Er asked her, "Have you seen it?"
Bai Yuwei choked, "I... I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but we Miaojiang people believe that the Goddess is the messenger of the divine, able to communicate with the gods and possess the power of the Golden Immortals in your Central Plains legends."
Meng Qianqian looked at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan explained, "It's not that exaggerated. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are irreversible. The shamanic practices in Miaojiang are somewhat similar to the Heavenly Observatory of the court. They can observe celestial phenomena, calculate calendars, and control heavenly timing and star power. At the same time, they also possess the agricultural and medical techniques passed down by the Miaojiang ancestors. Every generation of Miaojiang rulers must go to Wushan for worship and training before succession."
Meng Qianqian suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
Lu Yuan added, "Of course, there are other talents, but these are the only ones I know of for now."
Meng Qianqian sincerely admired, "She alone possesses the knowledge of the Heavenly Observatory, the Imperial Medical Academy, and the Ministry of Agriculture. No wonder she's a goddess."
"Xian'er—Xian'er—"
Outside the courtyard, the Majestic King's voice could be heard calling, "Did you receive my letter? Remember to reply! Don't stew my eagle—if you must, at least finish reading it first before stewing it—"
An eagle hunter circled high in the sky and suddenly did a split, almost falling!
Damn!
You're a real dog!
Liu Qingyun yawned and went to sleep. After accompanying Lady Yan in their performance, he quickly caught up on his rest.
Inside the main room, the conversation among the few continued.
Meng Qianqian asked, "I just thought of something. We've put so much effort into sending a fake you out, and Chancellor Xun won't let it go. If he sends Celestial Dragon again to kill you, this time he won't leave a complete body. You'll be beheaded."
Tan Er said with exaggerated concern, "Celestial Dragon's martial arts are so high, Da Bai can't stop him!"
Bai Yuwei stamped her foot, "My brother won't lose to him! My brother's martial arts are the best in the world!"
Tan Er opened the door and pointed at the sky, "Xiaobai, what's up there?"
Bai Yuwei looked up, "What is it?"
Tan Er counted with a straight face, "One, two, three... they're all cows blown up by the wind!"
Bai Yuwei: "..."
Lu Yuan said, "Based on my understanding of him, he won't assign the same person for the same mission twice."
As soon as he finished speaking, Celestial Dragon pushed the window and entered.
Everyone in the room turned to look at him.
He stood on one leg, assuming the Golden Rooster Stance, and his expression was awkward.
Tan Er tilted her head and asked, "Celestial Dragon, why didn't you use the door?"
Celestial Dragon brought his other leg in, and said seriously, "I didn't know you were all here."
Lu Yuan said coldly, "Sneaking into the Duke's room, what are your intentions?"
Celestial Dragon looked at him provocatively, "You're Luo San now, this isn't your room."
Lu Yuan: "..."
Bai Yuwei stammered, "Why do I smell such a strong and pungent killing intent?"
Tan Er supported her chin with both hands, "Let's fight! Let's fight!"
Meng Qianqian looked at Celestial Dragon, her eyes full of concern, "Did the Chancellor give you a hard time?"
Celestial Dragon's voice lightened unconsciously, "I killed Lu Yuan, the mission is complete. The Duke's Manor is taking a dead person to Miaojiang to extend his life. He can't blame me."
Lu Yuan coldly hummed.
Celestial Dragon glared at Lu Yuan, "Why aren't you leaving?"
Lu Yuan said coldly, "This is the Duke's home!"
"Not anymore," Celestial Dragon finally regained his composure, "Your home now is the Chancellor's Mansion. You should go back."
Lu Yuan coldly hummed, "That's the Duke's business, it has nothing to do with you. You still haven't said why you're here."
Celestial Dragon, "To take you back to the Chancellor's Mansion."
Lu Yuan: "..."
Celestial Dragon took out a sack from his embrace and shook it forcefully.
Lu Yuan's face darkened, "Don't go too far!"
Celestial Dragon said with malicious joy, "If we're putting on a show, do you want to go in yourself, or should I throw you in?"
Hahaha, the childish Celestial Dragon is online. Can I get a guaranteed monthly ticket?
