Volume 1: Phoenix Hidden in the Northern Domain Chapter 25: Seeking to Bring Along

  The medicinal field of Xueyuan Manor has always been managed by the Ye surname twin sisters. Since Tang Nian's fondness for herbs was revealed, the field has expanded a bit over the past year, and the herbs have grown even more lush. The Ye sisters' admiration for Tang Nian has deepened, and they would gather around her whenever she appears.

  "Master, Master, I heard that in a few days, you and Young Master will be leaving the manor?" Ye Lianqiao asked with an seemingly puzzled expression, but her complexion was not strange at all, obviously it wasn't just 'hearing' uncertainly.

  Tang Nian looked at her for a moment, but didn't say anything. She continued to turn over the soil and nurture the medicinal herbs.

  Ye Mu Xiang glared at her own sister, then hastily blinked her eyes and looked at Tang Nian Nian with a pitiful expression, saying: "Master's wife, it's been a long time since I and Lian Qiao went out, and this time we're going to the master's hometown, wu wu... Master's wife, can you take us together?"

  This guy is acting cute here.

  Tang Nian took down a dandelion plant, "I couldn't make up my mind."

  She replied, and the Ye sisters were immediately delighted. Ye Lianqiao said repeatedly: "Madam, you are wrong to say this. The master's favor towards Madam is known to everyone in the village. As long as Madam says a word, the master will definitely agree!"

  Ye Mu Xiang also opened her big eyes, with deep affectionate gaze at her, "Right! Right! Mistress, you can suspect anyone but not Master Zhuang's love for you!"

  What's his attitude towards me?

  Tang Nian's fingers paused slightly, and she looked at the sincere Ye sisters before turning her head to look at Si Ling Gu Yun sitting on a rattan chair not far away.

  This person is indeed very good to himself, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he spoils himself. He almost always gets what he wants, but all of this comes at a cost.

  The surging waves in Tang Nian's eyes slowly settled down. Compared to the pampering obtained through freedom, she still believed more in herself, and only when she had the power could she truly grasp everything.

  The two sisters saw Tang Nianian suddenly stop speaking, and they couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Ye Muxiang hesitated: "Master, you...you can't really suspect Master Zhuang of being unfaithful to you, can you?"

  Tang Nian did not hesitate and shook her head, "No."

  She didn't doubt it, she felt that his doting on her was genuine until now.

  The Ye sisters all let out a sigh of relief, and Yemu Xiang even exaggeratedly covered her chest with her hand, letting out a long breath. "I was scared to death! I said the master and mistress's feelings were so good, why would the mistress suspect anything?"

  Ye Lianqiao immediately returned to the topic and coquettishly asked Tang Nian, "Master, would you please help us ask for a meeting? If it doesn't work out, we won't force it anymore!"

  Ye Mu Xiang also hastily nodded, her eyes opening even wider in a pitiful manner.

  These two people's faces have long been trained to be as thick as walls, and they wouldn't mind the fact that they are obviously older than Tang Nianian.

  Tang Nian looked at them quietly for a while before finally speaking out the words that made both of their faces stiffen, "You're leaving, what about Yao Tian?"

  The Ye sisters gazed at her with eyes full of resentment and accusation. So, in the mistress's heart, we were not as important as this medicine field!?!

  Tang Nian was very calm. In her heart, she really valued this medicine field more than her two sisters.

  Ye Lianqiao comforted her, "Don't worry, mistress. With two fewer people in the medicine field, there are still other medicine servants serving, and absolutely no mistakes will be made."

  Ye Mu Xiang pitifully said, "Madam, it's all been said. Can you please just say a word for us? We're so pitiful."

  "Oh."

  The two of them were taken aback at the same time, and then they both beamed with joy, saying in unison: "Has the mistress agreed!?"

  Tang Nian nodded.

  The two women were overjoyed and exclaimed in unison, "The mistress is indeed the best!"

  The two of them were making a wishful calculation. In their view, as long as Tang Nian spoke up, this matter would absolutely be settled.

  Tang Nian didn't know what they were thinking about, but she was now thinking of taking advantage of this rare opportunity to go out and find a chance to escape freely.

  If they really escaped, it would be a pity for this whole courtyard of precious medicinal fields.

  Tang Nian looked at the lush and vibrant garden, full of spiritual medicine, and thought that this year's free food, drink, and accommodations were really not bad. The thought of not having such treatment in the future made her feel a little reluctant to leave.

  Oh, didn't she say so? She's actually a very greedy person.

  "Don't be sad, Master!" Greenie's voice echoed in his mind. "When you reach the Valley of Separation, I can open up my inner realm and plant lots and lots of spiritual herbs and treasures for you."

  "What is the inner world?" What is this inner world?

  The green voice was filled with pride, and said with a smile: "The inner world is a self-contained realm where Green exists. The master's current strength is not enough, wait until the master reaches the Valley of Abundance, then you'll know. At that time, bring the medicine field with you, and as many spiritual medicines as you want, Master, aren't you excited?"

  Tang Nian's eyes were misty and she was a little confused, but her eyebrows were curved with joyful smile, "En, exciting! Lu Lu is really awesome!"

  "Hehehe...... Green is the most awesome! ~" Got praised, and all I can feel in my mind is Green's joyful emotions.

  With this green information, Tang Nian's reluctance naturally disappeared, and what he thought more about was breaking through the foundation and entering the valley to cultivate his skills. At that time, when he grasped his own destiny, it would be even closer.

  As time passed, Tang Nian's mood was just right, and under the urging of the Ye sisters, she came to the front of Si Ling Gu Yin and said: "They want to follow us out of the village, is that okay?"

  The Ye sisters were suddenly filled with black lines, speechless, and screaming in their hearts: Mistress, it's not like that! Asking you to ask for a greeting is not true, just helping to ask!

  Si Ling hugged her tightly, "Do you think they will follow us?"

  Lianqiao's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, staring fixedly at Tang Nianian, including the fox head that had jumped onto Muxiang's shoulder, their identical gazes - staring!

  "...... En." Tang Nian felt that if she didn't nod her head, the two people in front of her would immediately turn into a puddle of water.

  "Then follow." For Si Ling Gu Yun, what's important is only her feelings.

  "Wow!"

  "Squeak squeak squeak!"

  Two people and a fox kit cheered in unison.

  Tang Nian looked at the white fox and spat out two words: "Got fat."

  "Ah?" Yemuxiang was taken aback, then reached out to grab the fox on her shoulder, took a closer look, nodded, "It does seem like it's gained weight, no wonder I thought Xiaobai Li had gotten chubby. Lianqiao, did you secretly feed Xiaobai Li more food?"

  "Leaf Linked Arrow Mouth Deny: 'How could I? I think you're the one who's right, otherwise why would Bai Li be more affectionate towards you than me?!'"

  "Hmph! You're just jealous!" Yemuxiang stroked the fur of the little white fox, gave her a sideways glance, and then said to Baili, "From today on, Little White's food ration will be reduced!"

  "Squeak——!" Xiao Hu cried out in a sharp voice, then stared at Tang Nian with her big round eyes.

  It's all you! It's all your fault! Return what I ate! Return it to me!

  Tang Nian's expression remained calm as she faced its glare, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she said quietly, "No foxes allowed."

  "Wooo..." The desolate cry continued unabated, Bai Li Xiao Hu's eyes were red and puffy, her eyes brimming with tears as she gazed pitifully at Tang Nian Nian.

  Don't bully the fox like this!

  Tang Nian's body trembled slightly as she looked at it in a circle. "Are you still a fox?" The cry was even worse than that of a dog.

  "Meeeeo..." Bai Li Xiao Hu continued to stare pitifully, her heart filled with tears. Don't think I didn't see the naked disdain in your eyes, I'm not just a fox, I'm Xue Yue Hu, for the sake of going out and having fun, dignity? Who cares!

  Lu Lu also said in her mind: "Master, this is not an ordinary fox, it's a Snow Moon Fox with the bloodline of a celestial beast."

  Tang Nian replied: "Also a fox."

  "......En, it's a fox!"

  With the interruption of Green, Tang Nian ignored Bai Lei's repeated calls to transform into a cat star. Buried in Si Ling Gu Yun's arms, she asked lazily: "What's the new song you learned today?"

  Xī Líng Gū Hóng hugged her and stood up to leave, walking while saying: "Hàn Tiān."

  The two figures seemed to be moving slowly, but in the blink of an eye they had gone a long way. Bai Li dared not look back and did not dare to chase after them, until they were out of sight, then she buried herself in Ye Mu Xiang's arms, "Sobbing" non-stop.

  Waaah, Mu Xiang... I'm heartbroken, need a hug, need comfort, need delicious food!

  "Alright, Xiao Bai Li, don't worry, Madam's heart is soft, once today is over, nothing will happen to you, and when the time comes, I'll definitely take you with me!" Ye Lianqiao comforted from the side.

  "Rustle——!" White Li Xiao Hu was indignant. What's being softhearted? That's being narrow-minded! Is it just a glare? Is it just a glare? Is it that serious?! Still want to argue for a whole day?! Was I wrong? Wrong?!

  Ye Mu Xiang tapped her little head, slowly lecturing, "It's all your own fault, who is the mistress? Why are you so foolish to glare at the mistress? Ah, Xiao Bai Li, you must remember, no matter what, the mistress is always right. If it's your fault, it's your fault; if it's not your fault, it's still your fault. Got it?"

  "Wooo——" Bai Li Xiao Hu became even more sorrowful and angry, rushing into Ye Lian Qiao's arms. Waaa, Mu Xiang is so scary, waaa, Lian Qiao, comfort me...

  Ye Lianqiao nodded, "En, Xiao Bai Li, Mu Xiang is right, remember that knowing one's mistakes and correcting them is a great virtue!"

  "Ahhh...!" I'm done for!

  In the distance, Tang Nian's words paused, and he looked back at the direction of the medicine house, muttering: "First dog, then cat, now it's wolf, what else will it be called?"

  "Let it be heard by you next time." Ciling Gu Yun lightly sold Bai Li Xiao Hu.

  The swans returned to the distant Xiling, their expressions unclear. The unusually cold and serene Snow Goose Mountain Villa seemed different, and the people inside became lively and vibrant.

  Digression

  It's said that Nian's way of thinking is different from ordinary people, her past life experiences have taught her to only understand the distinction between strong and weak. In her eyes, even the pampering she received from Gu Xing Yu was something a strong person gave to a weak one, which could be taken back at any time. When that happens, as a weak person, she naturally can't control it, so feeling uneasy is inevitable. It's just because she likes him that she feels uneasy and reluctant to part with him, but for now, she hasn't realized this herself.

  As time passes, as you meet more people and things, your emotional intelligence will also grow, and you'll come to understand the emotions hidden deep within your heart. It won't take too long.

  Nian Nian's feelings are much more reserved than a solitary wild goose, they just haven't been revealed yet. People like her, once they fall in love, it is unique and profound!

  Mom! Don't forget to collect!
