Ling Fan turned about to face the fairies. She was about to blurt out a series of command when she saw Mu Donghai passed out. He looked like a lifeless bag.
Motioning to him, she asked, "Is Senior Mu unwell?"
Senior Mu?
Tang Zifeng was the first to react, "My Cutie!!! Call the healer!"
Mo Lai jumped over, "I'll strip him, to see if he's injured somewhere!"
Elder Bing exclaimed, "I'll find a healer!"
Wang Chuntao started sniffling, "Big Sis, help Senior Mu!"
Ling Fan jolted. What's with their reaction!? Did Sister Tang just say Cutie!?
Just has the fairies were about to swarm her, Mu Huizhong sat up. Immediately, her eyes locked onto Ling Fan. "Did-Did you just wife? Who-Who has a wife?"
Seeing Mu Huizhong regained consciousness, the Fairies sighed deeply in relief.
"The Divinities have eyes....Senior Mu is okay."
"Senior, this Mo will hold you up until you regain your strength," said Mo Lai.
"Senior Mu, Chuntao will go find you a tasty snack!"
Zoom! Speeding away, everyone was surprised at Wang Chuntao's speed.
Elder Bing shoo'd the others away. "Senior Mu needs an experienced hand to assist him. Be at ease Senior, Junior will take care of you."
Empyrean might extended out in all directions. "Who-Who has a wife? This Mu will not ask again."
"Senior, Junior just arrived from the Zhao Clan. There, her strongest bosses clearly confirmed Master Zhao Ding was married."
"Who-Who's the b*tch!!!" roared Mu Huizhong.
Ling Fan snorted, "Senior, truthfully Junior wants to know as well. But does it matter if she's already dead?"
"Dead!?"
"My understanding was that she was recalled by her Clan to fight in a war, she expected to die as cannon fodder," answered Ling Fan.
"Proof! This Mu needs pro—-EH!"
Mu Huizhong stumbled as though struck by lightening. Recalled by the clan! Expected to die as cannon fodder!
Wasn't the Little Hussey talking about her? Didn't this mean the wife they were talking about was she...Mu Huizhong! Then the person she was just cursing was-was herself!!
"Senior, it's seems you are very concerned about Master Zhao Ding. Junior doesn't recall you having relations with him," said Ling Fan.
As Mu Huizhong stood up, the Fairies helped smooth out her robes. She withdrew her aura and quickly calmed herself.
"Ah..this is a misunderstanding. This seat thought you said Zhao Tian Cai. You may not know, but Little Sister Huizhong asked me to protect him."
Ling Fan rolled her eyes. Even though Mu Donghai's words explained his reaction, wasn't Mu Huizhong still misconstruing things from afar? B*tch!
"Senior, please forgive me as I have to go confer with Ling Hua. In fact, she needs help finding a suitable robe," said Ling Fan.
Mu Huizhong's eye brightened. "Junior, this seat will go with you. Long have I wanted to meet Ling Hua."
Ling Fan's eyes constricted. Mu Donghai wants to meet Ling Hua??
"Senior, why would you want to meet our Ling Hua?"
Tang Xifeng replied for Mu Huizhong. "Fierce Leader, earlier Senior Mu stated that Mu Huizhong is the Mu Clan's number one beauty and he wanted to compare the two."
Everyone threw strange looks at Tang Xifeng. He wanted to compare the two?
Tang Xifeng said, "Everyone relax. Senior initially perceived Ling Hua as a threat to Mu Huizhong. As you all know, this isn't even a problem as her eyes only see Master Zhao Ding."
Everyone nodded. Indeed their Fierce Leader had it bad.
With a twitching eye, Ling Fan said, "Ah so it's like that. Senior Mu, your loyalty to Mu B*...uh Huizhong is admirable. It's seems you really treat her as your younger sister."
Mu Huizhong cleared her throat, clearly Ling Fan was getting suspicious. "This seat forgot that Ling Hua only has eyes for Master Zhao Ding. If that's the case, then there's need to join you."
Just as she finished speaking, Zhu Shensheng appeared with Little Lord and Junjie.
"Disciple there you are!."
Swoosh! Little Lord hopped into Ling Fan's arms and purred happily.
"Mommy, son here."
Mu Huizhong's face knotted up in frustration. This was the real reason why she withdrew her request. Her formations had detected the Divine Pig's arrival. However, she hadn't considered the Divine Rabbit would appear as well.
Catching sight of Mu Huizhong, Little Lord stood up and hissed.
Shensheng grunted, "You...You can't be here. Big Brother plans to spend the night as he leaves tomorrow with Little Genius. Therefore, you need to leave."
Mu Huizhong's face darkened with the foulest scowl. She was being kicked out!?
Inwardly, Ling Fan shot a thumbs up to Little Lord. Wasn't he demonstrating his filial piety by getting rid of Mu Donghai. No matter how she thought about it, her instinct continuously warned her about the man
Holding back a chuckle, she said, "Senior, what can we do? As you can see, Little Lord will end you if you stay. Therefore, it's best you stay at a tavern tonight. In this manner, you life can be spared."
Mu Huizhong's mouth puckered repeatedly before she grimly nodded and walked away.
The fairies stood gobsmacked. Before their eyes, Little Lord just hissed and kicked out an Empyrean!? They fretted about, looking repeatedly from the handsome departing back to Ling Fan's neutral face.
As they sighed endlessly, Ling Fan rolled her eyes. Wasn't this Mu Donghai too much of a ladykiller? Even now, they wanted to chase after the man. She had half a mind to dowse them all with cold water.
After Mu Donghai's silhouette disappeared, Little Lord relaxed and rubbed his head on Ling Fan's cheek. A foul odor filled her nostrils. Looking at Shensheng, she asked, "Master, how come he smells like rotting flesh?"
The Divine Pig snorted, "We just returned from investigating the ruins down below. That evil place is littered with bones."
"If Little Lord really intends on staying the night, then he needs a bath."
Immediately, the Divine Pig and Ling Fan looked to Junjie. He pattered back in surprise.
"Junjie, since your traveling tomorrow, you need a bath. This will be a good time for you to wash Big Brother. You shall attend to him."
Junjie squealed.
Little Lord hopped onto his back. "Go bath"
"Junjie, you two will be traveling together. Big Brother will be relying on you during this time. Do not embarrass your Queen."
Junjie grunted in understanding and took Little Lord away.
Shensheng chuckled, "I'm sure Big Brother will enjoy his first bath here. Perhaps, when he returns, he'll decide to relocate."
Ling Fan shook. "Did you just say first bath? Are you saying since Little Lord arrived he hasn't had a good bath?"
"Mhm."
Ling Fan's eyes popped. ZHAO TIAN CAI! Have you not been performing your fatherly duties!? He sure was gonna get an earful.
Mo Lai stepped forward and presented a scroll.
"Spymaster what's this?" asked Ling Fan.
"Leader, if you recall, you originally asked our shop to procure a crown for Zhu Shensheng. We were able to procure one and this is bill for your approval?"
Ling Fan gazed at her Master. "A crown, how much?"
"150 million spirit stones."
Ling Fan drew out the bank card Tian Cai had given her. "You may subtract the funds with this card."
Cha-Ching!
Mo Lai's eyes briefly reflected dollar signs. However, she remembered an important detail. Clearing her throat, she said, "Leader normally Spymaster would be happy to sell items, but you may want to reconsider..."
"Just subtract the monies. What's has priority is that you must find the best and most regal robes for me to wear tonight," interrupted Ling Fan.
Mo Lai bit her lip, Indeed tonight was a priority but that crown???
"Spymaster, Let's go now."
Shensheng heard robes and she said, "Disciple, Master needs new robes as well!!!"
Several breaths later, Ling Fan was in her chambers being attended by the Fairies. Robes and accessories were strewn in all directions.
"Elder Bing, as you know we must still fiercely guard my identity as Ling Hua. Therefore at the meeting place, there must absolutely be a secure perimeter."
Elder Bing nodded, "All the guards will be placed on alert we will not let a fly through."
Wang Chunhua walked in with a jade case. "Young Miss, Master Zhao Ding's gift has been prepared."
Ling Fan fleeted over instantly.
In the other corner, The Divine Pig was again dressed in a mind-boggling clash of multi-colored robes. Mo Lai was attending. Just now, she brought over the crown and was about to unbox it.
In a side chamber, Junjie was staring at a bronze mirror with his cape on. Little Lord was peering about from the side.
"Mommy, son wants clothes."
Opening the box, Ling Fan's eyes sparkled in satisfaction. She was sure her Big Brother Zhao Ding would be happy with such a sword. Hearing Little Lord's words in the background, she said, "What my little boy wants he gets. Someone, help Little Lord with robes."
Wang Chunhua was about to say something when her eyes popped open. "Oh my!" she blurted.
"What is it,"asked Ling Fan.
"Young Miss, Zhu Shensheng you-you should take a look."
Turning, Ling Fan jolted.
OMFG!
In fact, everyone that looked over was gobsmacked.
On the Divine Pig's head was a stupendously tall gold crown. Is that 30 cm high?
This!
Everyone threw strange looks at Ling Fan.
Shensheng grunted, "Junjie, how does your Queen look?"
Junjie grunted vigorously in reply.
Ling Fan rolled her eyes. The gist of Junjie's words were, "My Queen is mighty!"
Suddenly, Shensheng looked to Little Lord. Bashfully, she asked, "Big Brother, how does Sister look?"
The Divine Rabbit stiffened. Clearly he wasn't color blind like the Divine Pig. And clearly he wasn't just blind like Junjie. And most clearly, he didn't want to reply.
Ling Fan stepped into save him. With veins twitching all over her face, Ling Fan smiled. "Teacher, my son feels as I do. Your glory and prestige knows no bounds."
Shensheng squealed happily with the praise.
Little Lord looked over at Ling Fan with watery eyes. "Son loves Mommy best."
Ling Fan nodded in satisfaction.
Suddenly, Shensheng pattered over to the box. Everyone's nerves jumped. During Shensheng's movement, the crown wobbled almost uncontrollably.
Ling Fan shot a look at Mo Lai. How much more was it going to cost to properly strap that gaudy thing down?
Mo Lai nodded in understanding. She would be sure to fix the problem later.
Shensheng snorted, "Disciple, this sword, where-where did you get it? It-It has peculiar properties."
