The One-Horned Rhinoceros itself could not clearly explain the whereabouts of the youngling thieves. It only remembered that the group was dressed entirely in black and wore black masks. In short, they did not look like good people.
“Tsk, can you be a little more specific?” Yuan Wu crouched speechlessly in front of the One-Horned Rhinoceros and stared at it. The creature kept repeating the same point, leaving her with no opening to pursue.
Hmph, hmph, hmph🟡Let me think, let me think🟨
The One-Horned Rhinoceros put on a thoughtful expression, then suddenly stood up and sent Yuan Wu, who was right in front of it, flying three meters away. Before she could react, Yuan Wu plunged straight into a haystack.
With weeds sticking out of her hair, Yuan Wu crawled out shakily, cursing as she went. “What’s wrong with your eyes? Are all you White Jade Rhinoceroses blind? Last time, that little one mistook me for food, chewed on my hair, and covered my face in drool. This time, you ignored me again and sent me flying. Am I really so huge that you mistake me for thin air?”
Yuan Wu was furious, but she could not do anything to it. All she could do was console herself and force herself to calm down.
Hmph, hmph, hmph🟡Farm owner, are you all right?🟨
The One-Horned Rhinoceros felt extremely apologetic. It had been too excited just now and had overlooked Yuan Wu without meaning to. It did not want to anger Yuan Wu over this; its days at Sunshine Farm had been extremely comfortable.
It had food and drink, and someone even washed its body for it.
This had practically brought the White Jade Rhinoceroses to the peak of their bovine lives. If they angered the farm owner and were no longer allowed to stay, they would lose far more than they gained.
Besides, they still had to rely on the farm owner to find their younglings.
Magical beasts ultimately found it difficult to leave the deep forest, while Yuan Wu, a human cultivator, could move about far more conveniently.
“Forget it. I was born unlucky. Tell me, why were you so excited just now?” Yuan Wu waved her hand, allowing the One-Horned Rhinoceros to continue.
Hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph🟡Those men in black said something about taking the younglings to an auction. It seemed to be an auction in Azure Dragon Town🟨
“At last, some useful information. Azure Dragon Town... Isn’t that the town at the foot of Maple Forest Mountain? Ahem, ahem... All right, I know what to do now. Go on and attend to your own business.” Yuan Wu waved away the One-Horned Rhinoceros, then returned to the Wooden House to discuss a plan with Bai Yuehan.
She remembered a plot point from the original story. Something seemed to happen in Azure Dragon Town—the first meeting between the male and female protagonists. Bringing the female protagonist along would not only give her another person to help, but also let her enjoy the spectacle up close. It would serve two purposes at once. Hahahaha.
Inside the Wooden House, Bai Yuehan had just finished bathing the White Jade Rhinoceroses and collapsed onto the bed in exhaustion. She had not expected this place to be even more grueling than training at the sect. Although she had no idea what she was busy with, she was simply busy all the time.
“Yue Han, Xiao Hanhan, my good Jimmy.” Yuan Wu sidled up to Bai Yuehan with a lecherous grin, a lascivious air showing between her brows.
After spending so much time with Yuan Wu, Bai Yuehan already knew what she was like. Whenever Yuan Wu called her that, nothing good ever followed.
She looked at Yuan Wu expressionlessly. “What is it?”
“Hehehe, you’ve worked hard lately. Would you like to come to Azure Dragon Town with me to have some fun and take a break? We can look for the White Jade Rhinoceros Ox cubs while we’re there.” Yuan Wu rubbed her hands together like a fly and bumped Bai Yuehan’s shoulder with her own.
“.......Let me think about it.” Bai Yuehan pursed her lips. The last time Yuan Wu had told her to take a break, she had said they were going to the bamboo grove to cultivate her sensibilities. In the end, Bai Yuehan had chopped bamboo for an entire day.
And the time before that, they had gone on a picnic by some river, only for her to spend the entire afternoon catching fish.......
What would be waiting for her this time in Azure Dragon Town?
Bai Yuehan did not dare imagine it.🔵Actually, Bai Yuehan did not need to be so obedient, but she was now merely an employee working off a debt. Not only had her work during this period failed to pay it off, but because she exceeded the meal allowance every time, she had even had to pay extra out of pocket.🟦
Yuan Wu: Person∀・Smooch～
Seeing how guarded Bai Yuehan was, Yuan Wu knew that her previous schemes had made Bai Yuehan wary. She silently sighed that the girl was no longer easy to fool, then said, “Trust me. Once we find the younglings’ whereabouts, I’ll give you three days off. You can have a good time in Azure Dragon Town.”
And maybe have a fateful, love-at-first-sight encounter with the male protagonist... Hahahaha.
Yuan Wu only said the latter half in her heart, but the lecherous grin on her face gave her away. When Bai Yuehan, who had been somewhat wavering, saw it, she immediately regained her composure.
“Five days. Five days off.” Bai Yuehan held up her hand and bargained with Yuan Wu.
“All right, five days it is. Uh, go get yourself ready first. We’ll leave tomorrow.” Seeing her agree, Yuan Wu left with a beaming smile. She was going to find Blazing Flame Bird.
