Jiang Hao's face grew paler and paler. "H-how..."
"Anyway, before you deal with the big sister, you have to find the one who is responsible for her. I already knew who the person is, but it would be suspicious if we are the one who made a move. Even in our disguised appearance, we will not be able to hide our signature essence after certain alterations." Elodiaren snapped the whip and threw it in his space bag which is a realm higher than storage bags. He controlled something inside the bag before continuing.
Hong Ruoying fiercely grabbed the collar of Elodiaren's suit, the style of the suit is a medieval suit of a high-tier noble. Elodiaren tucked Hong Ruoying's hair behind her ears before smiling coldly. She slightly blushed before pushing Elodiaren and retreated 5 meters away from him. Elodiaren just playfully grinned and looked towards Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao became bewildered as he saw how the two treat each other. However, his mind is still boggled on how did they knew the name Jiang Renyi. "I will execute your plan. First, where did you find the word 'Jiang Renyi'?"
"I will reveal it to you when the time is ripe. That is, if the Young Lady is already with her people. Thus, her return in her birthplace." Elodiaren motioned his hands. A small projection came out and it revealed the place which is clouded by dense dark fog. Poison is everywhere, the land only contained black sands, no living being is seen. However, after forwarding, there is a place that is full of life. There are trees that are much taller than the normal sequoia trees.
A large foothold came into Jiang Hao's sight. He was so mesmerized that he's surprised that Elodiaren already ended the projection. "This is the extent that I can show you. After all, you were the one who took care of the Young Lady's third- woah!" A chilly spike suddenly went through his face and grazed it.
Elodiaren glared at Hong Ruoying. "Careful now, hot head. Why are you... oh, is that it." He turned again to Jiang Hao expressing an apologetic gesture. "I apologize for the rude behavior of my partner. I almost blurted out something that is not yet to be known by people like you."
Seeing Elodiaren's threatening eyes, Jiang Hao quickly nodded. Elodiaren swiftly disappeared and left Hong Ruoying behind. "That sh*tty bastard!"
"Wait a moment, please!" Jiang Hao called out that stopped Hong Ruoying from departing and chasing Elodiaren.
"What?!" She impatiently said and glared at him.
"Make this place as the rendezvous for our future meetings and transactions. If it is possible, please do come with your disguised appearance." Jiang Hao said before clasping his hands towards Hong Ruoying. She coldly harrumphed and left.
...
Yao Chen walked towards Chang Xiuying, who is playing with her babies. "What are you pretending for?"
However, Chang Xiuying just continued playing with the bunnies, not minding Yao Chen's presence at all. Yao Chen just sighed and let Chang Xiuying play with her children. After a long hour of wait, Chang Xiuying looked at Yao Chen with a grin.
"W-what?" Yao Chen shuddered at the sight of the child in front of her.
"Nothing." Chang Xiuying pursed her lips and skipped around, amusing herself in her new home. Yao Chen just watched her do her business as she sits helplessly on a boulder with her children.
"You have a hidden treasure, I see."
Yao Chen's big ears twitched as she heard the child's statement. 'How the f**k?'
"Do not worry, I am not planning anything with it." Chang Xiuying smiled, 'For now.'
The rabbit felt a chill down her spine. She sighed and thought, 'What a cunning brat!'
"Hmm... does that mean you're adopting me?"
"What the actual f**k?! Who wants a cunning brat like you! Hmph!"
"Eeeeeh. What are you saying? Ying Er is sad..." Chang Xiuying rubbed her eyes and sobbed. This action makes Yao Chen shiver.
"Alright... what are you planning?" Surrendering, she just asks the child.
"Nothing much. You don't need to do anything grand like taking care of me. Just notify me that Uncle Jiang is coming or is near, I'll come back quickly. That's all." Chang Xiuying stopped her action. She smiled brightly upon saying her thoughts.
"Easy. Then off you go. Just... don't do anything or approach my treasure."
Chang Xiuying revealed a villainous grin as her black eyes glinted. Yao Chen suddenly regretted of what she said, forgetting that the child in front of her is not normal.
Two-faced! A two-faced brat!
"As I said, do not worry about it. I will just casually stroll around the Central Marsh like a tourist." Chang Xiuying's grin didn't disappear when she said these words that made Yao Chen think twice about the child.
"Fine. In which way do you want me to notify you?"
Chang Xiuying stared blankly at Yao Chen. "Eh... I'll think about this. When I thought of something, I'll immediately come back. For now..." She playfully scratches her head and continued, "I need to go. Hehe." After talking, she immediately sprinted towards the direction of the hidden treasure of Yao Chen. Of course, she didn't plan anything for now.
Upon seeing the child ran off, her eyes immediately widened. "F*CK!"
She ran to catch the cunning child. They played cat-mouse until Chang Xiuying passed the starting point of the treasure. Yao Chen cursed and cursed for being tricked by the child. She heard Chang Xiuying's childish hysterical laugh while running.
"Argh! Don't you come back here again, you bastard of a child!!"
Chang Xiuying just laughed it off as she escaped from the raging rabbit. 'Heh. I will certainly come back eyy. Hehe... hehehehehe.'
...
In a worn out house not far from the West Garden Pagoda.
Elodiaren appeared in one of the mysterious circles. He surveyed his surroundings using his heightened senses before emitting a bright light. He changed into an old man that is 1.58 meters tall and have a senile appearance. It's actually Old Gu Feng.
Hong Ruoying busted the door open and saw the old man Elodiaren who disguised into.
Elodiaren sighed at Hong Ruoying while shaking his head in disappointment. "Hot-head, I recommend you to not bust open the door everytime you come in. This house is originally good, but thanks to you, this house has gotten so much make-over to the worst, I say. Whatever, have you properly put surveillance to the Youngest Lady?" He carefully fixed his appearance before questioning Hong Ruoying.
She grunted and rolled her eyes in irritation. "I certainly didn't forget it. His Highness would give me severe punishment if I didn't show respect to one of the Kings of the Fallen Planet."
Elodiaren sighed and just shook off. He yet again left Hong Ruoying behind.
...
Old Gu Feng (Elodiaren) walked to the center of the marsh with his hands behind his arched back. The villagers around him just looked at him weirdly before ignoring him completely.
Yan Ruo saw Gu Feng's figure and quickened her pace. One villager surnamed Qiu stopped her with her hands and turned her whole body towards her. "Ruo! When did you come back, you old hag?!"
Yan Ruo's eyes were shaken. "Qiu Yan, I just came back from the forest since I found some news about some miraculous medicine hidden there."
"Medicine?! Is your head gone loose? You know that miraculous medicines are meant to be guarded by beasts that are more powerful than you thought! Do you not want your life anymore, you old hag?!" Qiu Yan repeatedly pushed Yan Ruo backward with her fingers, pointing vigorously at her chest.
"Qiu... Qiu Yan! Stop, hey!" Yan Ruo slapped Qiu Yan's finger away from her. "Of course, I still want my life, old hag! I just came to scout! Senile Gu Feng has been suffering from his aching back. I, at least, have to help him recover since people have stopped paying attention to him. "
Qiu Yan stared blankly at the old woman in front of her. She thought, 'So old yet so young in love.'
"Old Yan... Old Gu is fine! He never accepted the kindness of the people around him. You will only waste your resources to that senile fool! Come, come! My granddaughter will be born any time now! After, you have to prepare gifts!"
"Qiu Yan, you know that I'm broke as hell. How can I bring gifts to you, huh?"
"Ah. No mind, no mind. Just be there, I need to go. I have to cook a meal for my daughter-in-law." Qiu Yan waved her hands and immediately ran off. Yan Ruo watched her before proceeding to find Gu Feng. However, she can't find even a trace of him.
"That senile old fool... is he really senile?" Yan Ruo immediately ran into the road that Gu Feng took. Atop a house near where Yan Ruo took off, Gu Feng stood with a straight back as he watches the middle-aged woman running. Hong Ruoying suddenly appeared before him.
Gu Feng looked at her in the corner of his eyes and asked, "How's the other three that left the village?"
Hong Ruoying answered indifferently, "Zhen Chang safely returned and will be back after dealing with his family. Irene is stalking Jiang Hao upon sighting him. Shin Mei is carefully monitoring the village in the highest point of the forest."
