Yunluo City, Martial Soul Sub-Palace.
the square in front of the palace , the attendants respectfully led the horses of the Holy Knights squad to the stables for careful feeding and rest.
Qian Renxue looked at the Bishop of the Temple who had come to greet them personally, an elderly man surnamed Li with gray hair and a humble attitude.
Qian Renxue said gently,"Bishop Li, just prepare rooms for us. We’ll take care of the rest ourselves; there’s no need for you to trouble yourself."
Bishop Li bowed repeatedly:"Yes, yes, Your Highness, please rest assured, I will arrange it immediately."
He retreated cautiously, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Although Qian Renxue’s public identity is that of the captain of the Holy Knights, he still knows that the woman before him is the apple of the eye of the Hall of Worship, the granddaughter of the High Priest Qian Daoliu.
Qian Renxue turned to look at her teammates.
Despite having rested for half the night after last night’s fierce battle, everyone still looked exhausted, but their eyes reflected the relief of surviving a close call and the ease of completing the mission.
"We ’ll rest in Yunluo City for three days,"Qian Renxue announced in a clear voice."Everyone, relax and enjoy yourselves these three days! After three days, we’ll set off back to Wuhun City!"
"Yay!"
"Long live the captain!"
The team members erupted in cheers. After a year and a half of patrolling and suppression, their tense nerves could finally relax for a while.
Qian Renxue smiled slightly, then reached out and took Jiang Bai’s hand:"Come on, let’s go for a stroll around Yunluo City."
She had just taken a step when she suddenly remembered something, paused, and turned to look at Jiang Li’er not far away.
The blonde girl stood by the colonnade, watching the crowds coming and going in the square, her eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of barely perceptible loneliness.
"Little sister Li’er,"Qian Renxue called out gently,"would you like to come along?"
Jiang Li’er was taken aback:"Ah? Oh! Okay, okay!"
Before setting off from the valley this morning, Qian Renxue specially asked Jiang Bai to introduce the two of them to each other.
After a brief exchange, Qian Renxue quickly figured out Jiang Li’er’s temperament: she was simple, proud, and dependent on Jiang Bai, but had not yet made up her mind about her feelings.
some conversation , Qian Renxue, citing her"slightly older age ,"asked Jiang Li’er to call her"Sister Xue’er ,"while she herself would affectionately call her"Little Sister Li’er"or simply"Li’er."
It both shortened the distance and subtly established a certain order.
At this moment, the three of them walked out of the Martial Soul Sub-Hall and came to the bustling streets of Yunluo City.
Qian Renxue and Jiang Li’er flanked Jiang Bai from the left and right, forming a striking combination.
Qian Renxue possesses a noble and pure temperament with a touch of girlish brightness. Jiang Li’er has golden hair and red eyes, and her face is as exquisite as an elf, revealing an innocent curiosity. In the middle, Jiang Bai has handsome features and a calm temperament with a sharp edge. Surrounded by two stunning girls, he remains composed.
Pedestrians on the street turned their heads in amazement, envy, and curious whispers.
The other team members also dispersed; some went back to their rooms to catch up on sleep, some went to taverns in the city to relax, and some went to buy local specialties.
Tian Yue originally wanted to follow Qian Renxue, but seeing that the captain already had two"companions"by her side , she wisely refrained from joining them.
She turned around, only to meet a pair of eyes.
Hei Xue was standing behind her at some point , arms crossed, looking at her with a half-smile.
The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Tian Yue felt a chill run down her spine.
this"dark version of the captain"saved them , his eerie aura always made people feel uneasy.
She forced a smile:"Um... is there anything I can help you with?"
Hei Xue’s lips curled slightly as she slowly approached. She was a head taller than Tian Yue, and she bent down slightly to touch Tian Yue’s pretty face.
The cold fingers touched her skin, and Tian Yue froze:"You... you... what are you doing?"
She wanted to push him away, but then she remembered that Hei Xue was essentially a part of Qian Renxue, and that she had indeed saved the entire team last night, so she froze.
Hei Xue pinched Tian Yue’s chin, forcing her to look him in the eye. His dark purple eyes were deep and unfathomable, carrying a playful yet dangerous allure.
"Call me Sister Xue’er."
His tone was languid, yet undeniably authoritative.
Tian Yue’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and she honestly called out,"Sister Xue... Sister Xue’er."
Hei Xue released her hand with satisfaction and patted her shoulder:"Come on, let’s go for a walk."
After saying that, he walked straight towards the street.
Tian Yue paused for a moment, then quickly followed:"Ah? Okay..."
"Oh, right,"Hei Xue added without turning her head,"I don’t have any money, so remember to bring enough!"
Tian Yue:"..."
She touched her storage soul tool and suddenly had a bad feeling.
...
It was nearing evening when we visited an elegant restaurant on Yunluocheng East Street.
Jiang Bai, Qian Renxue, and Jiang Li’er sat in a private room on the second floor , the table already laden with delicious-looking dishes. Outside the window, the setting sun bathed the street in a warm orange-red hue.
"I’m exhausted..."Jiang Li’er rubbed her sore legs, but her eyes were bright and she was clearly in high spirits.
Jiang Bai looked at the numerous bags and packages piled up in his storage bracelet and smiled helplessly.
He spent two and a half hours shopping with Qian Renxue and Jiang Lier , but he hardly bought anything; the two girls bought all their spoils.
Qian Renxue picked out several exquisite pieces of jewelry and two sets of dresses, while Jiang Lier’s shopping talent was unleashed, and she bought a whole bunch of snacks, toys and all sorts of novel trinkets.
What made Jiang Bai even more amused and exasperated was that Jiang Li’er glared at him several times during their shopping trip.
Afterwards, he quietly asked her about it, and Jiang Li’er angrily replied,"That wretched Jiang Bai! What did he take me to do before?! All he ever did was take me to fight spirits and eat, he never took me shopping!"
Jiang Bai then realized that in the past six months, when he took Jiang Li’er out, he hadn’t paid much attention to this aspect and overlooked the girl’s natural interest in activities like"shopping".
"The dishes are all served, let’s eat first."Qian Renxue considerately picked up a piece of braised pork ribs for Jiang Bai and scooped a spoonful of steamed egg with shrimp for Jiang Li’er.
Seeing the two getting along so well, Jiang Bai felt somewhat relieved and said,"I’m going to the restroom."
He got up and left the private room.
Qian Renxue watched him leave, then turned around and smiled at Jiang Li’er, who was munching on a chicken wing:"Li’er, how was your day?"
Jiang Li’er nodded vigorously , her cheeks puffed out:"Very good! Yunluo City is much more lively than any of the cities we’ve visited before!"
Of course it’s lively! Before, she would either go to fight spirits or eat at restaurants; she had never experienced a human shopping pedestrian street.
"I’m glad you like him."Qian Renxue smiled gently, and asked casually ,"By the way, Sister Li’er, when did you meet Jiang Bai?"
Jiang Li’er tilted her head and thought for a moment:"Uh... I think it was about two years ago? I can’t remember exactly."
"So you’ve been with him the whole time?"
"I guess so? What’s wrong?"Jiang Li’er put down the chicken wing and looked at Qian Renxue with a puzzled expression.
Qian Renxue pressed on, her voice soft as if in casual conversation:"Besides you, does Jiang Bai know any other girls? A lot?"
Jiang Li’er then realized that Sister Xue’er was"checking up"on her! Her eyes darted around, and she stammered,"N-not many, right? Just... two or three?"
"How’s your relationship?"Qian Renxue pressed , her smile unchanged, but her eyes narrowed slightly.
Jiang Li’er felt even more guilty:"Uh... it should... probably... maybe... it’ll be fine?"
In her view, since the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress chose to protect Jiang Bai and could live in the small world inside the tower for a long time, their relationship must be extremely good.
As for Sister Bi Ji... Although Bi Ji rarely spends time alone with Jiang Bai, her gentle attitude suggests they have a good relationship, right?
this, Qian Renxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Two or three of them, they have a very good relationship... Although I still feel a little jealous, at least it’s not as exaggerated as I imagined.
With Jiang Bai ’s current strength and potential, it’s inevitable that some girls will fall for him, as long as he’s not promiscuous.
