"Juggling? Not interested."
He's so hard to coax, I just want to pinch his cheek.
Chen An rolled off the recliner and met Fu Gui's gaze: "I promised to help him find his older brother. Trust me, once we find him, we'll send him away."
Fu Gui crossed his arms under his armpits, turned his head and stared at the screen for a while, then asked in a completely flat tone, "Really?"
"Yes, of course it's true."
Fu Gui raised his chin, gave Chen An a look that said, "That's how it should be," and strolled over to the bedside.
It's not easy to coax a kitten, especially one as temperamental as Fugui.
Oh no, he went to the bow of the ship.
Given Fu Gui's personality, Shuo Ye will likely end up like Tank, becoming his underling and serving him faithfully.
Remembering how well the tank had been subdued, Chen An tiptoed to the bow of the ship.
Behind the one-meter-thick mast, Chen An peered longingly ahead.
Shuo Ye was carried on Fu Gui's shoulder, with a millet fruit in her mouth, an unknown pill in her left hand, and her right hand raised high.
What a heartwarming scene of a loving father and filial son.
Sensing the hostile gaze behind him, Fugui bent down, and Shuoye jumped down to the side.
After a loud bang, the spot where Fugui had stood was only faintly lit.
Beside the ebony sword, Shuo Ye clutched the hem of his clothes and swallowed hard.
"Boss, you..."
"I'm fine." Chen An's eyes were sharp as he stared at the face that looked remarkably like Fu Gui's. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to find the boss, what other distinguishing features do you have?"
Shuoye's hand, which was gripping the hem of her clothes, tightened even more.
"Tall and imposing, exuding an aura of dominance, whether it's the birds and beasts of the mountains or the mounts of cultivators, none of them would dare to flee at the sight of him." Mentioning Shuoyue, Shuoye's mouth flowed like a faucet, overflowing with praise, "His amber eyes are like jewels, and when he hunts, his beard twitches..."
Chen An manually shut down the conversation: "Stop, stop, stop, don't put on a filter."
Shuoye whimpered a few times, unable to break free, and stopped moving as if resigned to her fate. Her eyes drooped down, and when she looked at Chen Anshi, her eyes were filled with tears.
"Damn it," Chen An cursed under his breath and let go.
Two people, one big and one small, staring at each other.
"Compared to other otherworldly tanuki, our boss can change his appearance, but other than that, he's not particularly special, except that he's a bit more handsome, a bit more responsible, and a bit more brave..."
Chen An covered Shuo Ye's mouth again and nodded in agreement.
Judging from the timeline, Shuoye was still a child when he parted ways with Shuoyue, so there was no hope of him remembering the details.
The otherworldly raccoon has a keen sense of smell; it clearly remembers the scent of the new moon, so it must have encountered that new moon before.
Since we know each other, it shouldn't be difficult to find each other.
"Alright, come with me. I have the scent of the new moon on me. You might run into me someday."
Shuo Ye didn't look at Chen An, but went to the stern with his head down and stood on the deck looking into the distance.
Just as they passed through the clouds, the figure in the background gave off a desolate and lonely feeling, which made Chen An shiver involuntarily.
Along the way, Chen An used magic to change his appearance.
When encountering ordinary people, help them if you can; if you see someone with talent, give them a copy of the cultivation method.
By the way, I would like to praise the Ichiwa Sect and its leader, who is herself.
Shuoye always appeared in his beast form when he was by her side.
For no other reason than that those who have received favors are always happy to give him food.
Although it wasn't a top-tier delicacy, it was the best food they could offer.
Chen An liked watching him eat; if he weren't like that, he wouldn't have survived this long.
Six months later, the person and the cat arrived in Kang Le City.
This city is different from other special-type cities; it is not governed by a large family, and the city lord is rotated among different families.
As for how to choose a city lord, whoever is the strongest will be chosen.
Directly in front of the City Lord's Mansion is a hundred-meter-long arena, where anyone who wishes can challenge the City Lord.
The current city lord, Jiu Mo, has made a name for himself. Three months ago, he traveled to this place and killed the former city lord with a single spear thrust. To this day, no one dares to challenge him on the arena.
Upon assuming office, he first disbanded the Imperial Guard and then abolished most of the city's laws.
This attracted many cultivators with malicious intentions, including some who wanted to restore the glory of demonic cultivation.
Chen Anhe heard about it while helping to harvest wheat.
She deliberately concealed her cultivation level and came here to meet Jiu Mo.
Of course, not by taking his position as city lord.
She stopped a mile outside the city, thought it over and over, dressed up as a beggar, led Shuo Ye, who had transformed into a little beggar, and limped towards the city gate, leaning on a half-meter-long broken wooden stick.
I received a lot of disdainful looks along the way.
Many kind-hearted older women approached her to chat, and when they learned that she was indeed going to Kang Le City, they waved their hands repeatedly.
Seeing her walk forward recklessly, he sighed helplessly, unable to do anything about it.
Until they encountered a graceful and elegant woman, who ordered her sedan chair to be stopped aside, and quickly walked over to block Chen An's way.
“This Kang Le City is not the same Kang Le City as before. You are a lame old lady, so you shouldn’t go. I have money and steamed buns here. I’ll give you as many as you want.”
Chen An shook his head, his teeth showing, and said, "Thank you, I'll go find someone."
“Looking for someone? What kind of person are you looking for? I’m a respectable person in Kang Le City. My poor daughter was only nine years old when she was murdered by a villain. There’s no justice for her. What can you do if you go? Don’t even mention looking for someone. You and your granddaughter will be eaten alive.”
The woman became increasingly agitated, tears welling in her eyes as she gasped for breath.
"You're not looking for this child's parents, are you? What are their names? I'll help you find them."
“No, an old friend.” Chen An gathered his loose silver hair behind his head, raised his eyes and stared at the woman. “Do you know who I am?”
The woman's face paled slightly. She took a step back, then quickly regained her balance. With a pleading tone, she said in a trembling voice, "Sect Leader Chen, may I speak with you in private?"
"No need, leave your child's matter to me."
"You, you mean you want to help Xu'er get revenge."
Seeing that the woman was about to kneel, Chen An grabbed her and glanced at her slightly.
The woman understood and took out a square piece of paper from her sleeve, handing it to Chen An.
As he turned to leave, he placed an unremarkable white bag into Chen An's broken bowl.
Shuoye stared wide-eyed at the woman as she left, his right hand restlessly reaching for the bag.
After Chen An slapped his hand, he finally behaved himself, pouting as he walked slowly and unsteadily into the city.
Jade pavilions and towers overlapped, carriages and horses bustled back and forth, and goods were displayed in abundance, creating a scene of prosperity and extraordinary liveliness.
This place doesn't seem so scary after all.
"Get out of my way, you stinking beggar."
The man in the long robe kicked Chen An in the waist, causing the still-shocked Shuo Ye to fall to the ground.
Shuo Ye tried to get up, but Chen An pressed her down to the ground.
The man glared at him disdainfully, spat in the air, and swaggered forward with a dozen or so henchmen.
"Why won't you let me get revenge?" Shuo Ye pushed Chen An away, grinning and muttering.
After Chen An got up, he brushed the dirt off Shuo Ye and whispered, "Don't reveal your identity. Have you ever seen a beggar with cultivation?"
"This place is a dog-eat-dog world; you can only see things clearly by pretending to be at the bottom."
"Listen to me, don't cause trouble."
Shuoye stood there for a long time before sighing and reluctantly nodding.
