The #1 Pretty Boy of the Immortal Path-Chapter 105 - Never Enter Jinguan City

Chapter 105 - Never Enter Jinguan City

Edited by NZRose

After exiting the underground market, the two inquired in Tianxing Lane and finally got an address.

The place pointed to by this address was in a large mountain on the outskirts of the capital.

There was a small stream in the mountain, and it has stopped running as winter approaches.

There was a small courtyard to the west of the stream, which was very interesting.

If it comes to spring, all things grow, the mountains are green and the water is gurgling, it can be said that it is a perfect place to live in seclusion.

However, there was a lot of noise in the yard.

A child’s voice said, “Master! I can’t find the chicken!”

Then there was a male voice: “Were you peeking at her to lay eggs again?”

“I did not!”

“You did.”

“I did not!”

“Go out and look for it!”

Then, the door of the courtyard was pushed open with a creak.

The people inside happened to meet them.

A handsome boy said: “Master, fairies!”

The master snorted: “Women are all evils, I’m afraid that your master is in dire straits!”

Lin Shu observed this master.

A man with a plain appearance that makes people forget in a blink of an eye, about thirty or so, dressed in black.

Is this Shadowless?

Ling Fengxiao said: “Are you Senior Shadowless?”

The master looked at them a few times and said, “What’s the matter?”

Ling Fengxiao unfolded the note in his hand and said, “I have three million taels of gold. I don’t know if Senior will take it or not.”

“Master, God of Wealth!” said the child.

The attitude of Shadowless just became a little better, and said: “Come in and talk.”

For some reason, Lin Shu always felt that Shadowless had been looking at Ling Fengxiao’s face.

After walking through the courtyard, a gatekeeper goose came up, squawked, and threatened to bite. It was pushed away by Shadowless and stuffed into the fence.

Goose: “Gaa!”

The little boy said, “Goose, don’t bite.”

Goose: “Gaa!”

The little boy tied up the goose’s beak.

Shadowless said without a sense of regret: “Excuse me.”

Ling Fengxiao: “It’s nothing.”

When they got to the main room, as soon as they entered the door, he saw nine huge words written on the opposite wall.

“Thieves must not pick flowers,

Pick flowers, you’ll lose.”

It was also stained with the cinnabar ink, dripped with blood; it was practically a ghastly sight.

Seeing this sentence, Lin Shu recalled the anecdote Ling Fengxiao told him on the way.

It was said that Shadowless had two principles.

The first was to never pick a flower that has an owner.

The second was to never enter Jinguan City.

The reason was that this “Immortal Hand” who comes and goes freely in the world has once suffered a loss at the hands of a woman in Jinguan City.

One day, he sneaked into a place in Jinguan City to steal something. He raised his eyes and saw the mistress’s graceful demeanor and beautiful face. He lost his head for a moment, revealing his flaws and was captured.

Combined with these nine characters, it seems that the anecdote was true.

They sat down in the hall, and the little apprentice poured tea.

Shadowless said, “What do you want? Where is it? ”

Ling Fengxiao told him.

“It’s not too difficult,” Shadowless said.

It’s not too difficult?

It wasn’t too difficult to steal from the right guardian of the great witch or the imperial treasury of Northern Xia? It can be seen that this person’s skills were skilled enough.

Unexpectedly, Shadowless said in the next sentence: “You are from Southern Xia.”

Ling Fengxiao: “Why did Senior say this?”

In another sentence, Shadowless said: “Your surname is Ling, and you have a disguise.”

Lin Shu: “!!!”

How did he get it?

“Senior really has something special.” Ling Fengxiao said.

“Beauty is in the bone, not in the skin,” said Shadowless. “Your bone looks like your mother, but it doesn’t match your skin. If it were not for the disguise, it wouldn’t be the case.”

Ling Fengxiao said: “My mother’s surname is Ling. Do you have a connection with my family?”

Shadowless looked at Big Miss, but he did not speak.

He picked up the teacup and took a few sips slowly before saying: “I recognize it. I made a mistake a long time ago and owed your mother something. Today I will get the blood poison for you, and I’ll pay it back.”

Lin Shu thought about it carefully.

Jinguan City was the old name of the Southern Xia Imperial City.

There was a palace in the imperial city. There was an Empress in the palace and she was Ling Fengxiao’s biological mother.

Ling Fengxiao was a rare beauty in the world, so naturally, Empress would not be ugly.

So back then, it was the palace of Southern Xia where Shadowless went to steal, and it was the Empress of Southern Xia whom he ran into.

The Empress was born in Phoenix Mountain Villa, but she was not a woman without the power to bind a chicken. She deserved it.

“My mother and I seldom see each other. She never mentioned it.”

Shadowless said: “The Sorcerers Gathering will be held ten days later, I will get the stuff for you two by then.”

Ling Fengxiao said, “Okay.”

“There’s one more thing.” Shadowless said as he sipped his tea then he lazily lifted his eyelids: “I’m a thief in the shadows, and I’m the least likely to be a thief. You’d better take off your veil.”

——It’s Lin Shu he was talking to.

Lin Shu looked at Big Miss.

Big Miss nodded.

Lin Shu removed the veil.

“Cough, cough, cough–” Shadowless was choked by the mouthful of tea, and coughed violently, almost dying from out of breath.

“Master!” The little apprentice went to give him comfort.

At this time, the goose outside broke free from the muzzle and began to quack. The scene was once very chaotic for a time.

Lin Shu: “?”

When Shadowless finally recovered his breath, a pair of eyes stared at him: “Your father… does he calls himself Taoyuan?”

Lin Shu: “I have no father.”

“Nonsense.” Shadowless said confidently: “You look almost exactly the same as him.”

Lin Shu: “My master was indeed called Lord Taoyuan.”

“Impossible.” Shadowless slapped the tabletop: “I remember people most accurately. You and your dad are almost carved out of the same mold, even the bones are exactly the same!”

After that, he muttered: “If there is only one skull, I might think you are him.”

Lin Shu cocked his head.

So, the little fool may not have been Lord Taoyuan’s apprentice, but Lord Taoyuan’s son?

But it was very clear in the marriage agreement that the little fool was Lord Taoyuan’s apprentice.

But he has not heard from Lord Taoyuan for so many years. Maybe he was dead. It was meaningless to discuss these. Lin Shu doesn’t want to entangle with him: “Okay.”

Shadowless did not stop but rather gloated: “That man has a pure expression on his face, like a god, and I didn’t expect for him to have a child. It can be seen that he has also suffered a loss at the hands of a woman. Wonderful, wonderful.”

This person himself has suffered a loss at the hands of a woman, it was not good to speculate that others also suffered a loss in the hands of a woman, which was really not very kind.

Ling Fengxiao: “The Lord Taoyuan has not been heard from for a long time. We don’t have any news from him.”

“Hmm.” Shadowless just sipped his tea and made no comment.

Ling Fengxiao: “Dare to ask the senior who he is to Lord Taoyuan?”

“We have a fight.” Shadowless looked at Ling Fengxiao and said, “He also has some connections with your family.”

Ling Fengxiao smiled and said, “Indeed.”

The topic stopped, and Shadowless asked Ling Fengxiao the details of the blood poisoning. After the conversation, they planned to leave.

Shadowless: “Wait.”

Ling Fengxiao: “What can I tell you, senior?”

“After all, four people are more than two,” Shadowless said. “Let’s go out and look for chickens.”

Ling Fengxiao: “Okay.”

So the four of them went looking for the chicken.

“Reed chicken!” The little apprentice said, “She likes to run into the mountains.”

Looking for the chicken, naturally, you have to spread out and look for it.

Shadowless was very dissatisfied with them: “You two can only be used as one person, what do you like?”

Ling Fengxiao held Lin Shu and said: “I’m afraid she will get lost.”

“All right,” murmured Shadowless, “Women are trouble.”

Then he taught his little apprentice: “Women! You must not approach in the future! ”

The little apprentice nodded ignorantly.

The chicken was finally found in a hay nest deep in the mountain.

A black and white reed hen was lying down and cooing.

Ling Fengxiao approached carefully, then suddenly picked it up.

Chicken: “—Coo!”

It grumbled, flapped its wings, trying to escape, but was restrained by Ling Fengxiao, so he could only continue to grumble ‘coo-coo’ desperately.

Lin Shu picked up a white egg in the drafting nest, they returned to the stream, and the little apprentice reunited with the chicken.

At this time, it was almost dusk. The little apprentice received the chicken and was very happy, saying that he would invite the two fairy sisters to dinner.

——He took that egg and scrambled it with the other eggs.

Therefore, the old shadowless god was guarding the rice porridge in the pot, the little apprentice beat eggs, and Lin Shu and Ling Fengxiao were sent to the yard to pick green onions.

In autumn and winter, the rest of the vegetables are gone, but the green onions can grow. Ling Fengxiao held a handful of watery green onions and looked up at the smoke curling from the chimney.

The sky was wide and far away, and the rising smoke was mixed with the twilight. It was scattered in the distant sky. The clear voice of the little apprentice comes from the kitchen, and it made the scene more peaceful.

“Living in seclusion, don’t ask about common things,” Ling Fengxiao had a slight smile in her eyes, “In the future…you and I will take it.”

Lin Shu thought it was feasible and said, “Okay.”

Ling Fengxiao said: “I still want a daughter.”

Lin Shu: “…Hmm.”

“Two,” Ling Fengxiao said, “One looks like you, and the other looks like me.”

Lin Shu: “That’s good.”

Big Miss is happy.

Ling Fengxiao continued: “We will raise a few more reed chickens and a gatekeeper goose——”

Before the words fell, there was a loud noise in the fence, and the chicken and the goose began to fight.

Goose: “Gaa!”

Chicken: “coo!”

For a time, chickens flew, geese jumped, and feathers flew randomly.

Ling Fengxiao: “…Forget it.”

Lin Shu wanted to laugh.

Dinner is ready, there was sweet and soft rice porridge and golden onion, oil fried eggs, although simple, but do not have a straightforward flavor.

After eating, they went back to the city. In the next few days, apart from following the Phoenix butterfly to explore what Yue Ruohe was doing, they all stayed in their residence and did not go out.

But Yue Ruohe didn’t do anything unusual. He stayed in his temporary residence in Tianxing Lane and even didn’t leave the door.

Under Ling Fengxiao’s continued intimidation, the Beauty’s Grace finally produced something like a small drop of water with difficulty. Xiao Xuan was overjoyed and gave them countless rouge powder, beauty pills and hairpin rings, elegant clothes for them to use to promote the growth of fruits.

Lin Shu opened the lid and piled the rouge beside Beauty’s Grace. This method was really effective. Although it was still wilting, it really grew faster. The little water droplet was already the size of a soybean.

However, the affairs of the world did not go as Xiao Xuan had hoped, and the Sorcerers Gathering began before the fruits were ripe.

Xiao Xuan weakly said: “Two beauties, let’s go, you take this plant that doesn’t know good or bad with you. Maybe the fruit will still be ripe before it is over.”

Lin Shu thought it was unlikely, but he still took it with him.

——After the Sorcerers Gathering, they would get the blood sample, they would run away, and let the poor plant endure for another day.
