The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Chapter 187 Neptune

Cang Yue State Official Road

The camp was very quiet at night and everyone went to bed early. Because the land was relatively flat and there was a large flag of Langya Pavilion, there were many travelers seeking safety around, and most of them rested next to the camp.

Seeing that Su Su had fallen asleep, Ye Ling got up and quietly went out and entered Yue Chi's tent.

Yue Chi, who had just laid down, quickly stood up: "What's wrong?"

Ye Ling sat down on the straw mat: "How about I come and sleep with you?"

Yue Chi smiled: "I'm afraid Jiuyou will fight me to the death."

Ye Ling also laughed: "No kidding, I have a letter here. Can you find a way to send it back to Langya Pavilion as soon as possible and give it to Bicheng?"

"Sure, no problem. I'll send two men on fast horses back tomorrow."

"Thank you, Brother Yue. I think it's good to follow Susu and call you Brother Yue."

"I'm so lucky to have a sister like you, brother. Go to sleep now!"

"Thank you, big brother." Ye Ling was about to stand up when he remembered something: "What's going on with that musician? He doesn't look like a Cang Yue person at all."

"He is from a minority tribe in Da'an. Their tribe is good at music. It can be said that both men and women can sing and dance, so they formed some small teams to perform in various countries to make money. This Xiao Yi is also very famous in the world. Three years ago, he was captured by bandits. It happened that your senior brother passed by and rescued him. At that time, too many people in their band were seriously injured, so Yufeng took them back to Langya Pavilion to recuperate, so I know him," Yue Chi explained.

"I see! I'll be leaving now. You should get some rest early. Good night." Ye Ling got up and left.

Ye Ling returned to the tent and entered the space. He took a hot shower as usual and then came out to sleep.

The next day, the team packed up early and prepared to set off. Yue Chi instructed: "It's not so hot at noon these two days, so we won't rest. Let's rest earlier in the afternoon."

"We're fine," Su Su responded.

"Envoy Yue" Xiao Yi came over: "We have packed up and can leave now."

"Okay, let's go!"

Time always passes quickly when traveling during the day. In the blink of an eye, it is evening again. Today's campsite is an old temple. The space inside is not very large, with only two rows of side rooms on the left and right and a main hall. There are statues of gods in the main hall, so the door is locked. There are two side rooms on each side, and their doors are open. It can be seen that people often stay overnight.

Ye Ling chose the right wing. Su Su looked at the room and complained, "Why is it so dirty? I don't want to live here anymore."

"We can just spend the night there, so we don't have to set up tents anymore, which takes too much time," Yue Chi said. "We'll stay in this room tonight, and let the brothers stay next door."

"Okay," Su Su reluctantly agreed, "Let's move the things in."

Xiao Yi and his group lived in the left wing, with one room for men and one for women.

Ye Ling had taken out two single folding beds and placed them in the back of the carriage in advance so that she and Su Su could sleep well at night.

After the bed was made, Su Su pulled Ye Ling to go to the bathroom with her. Jiu You also went out to find firewood. Only Yue Chi was left in the room. Ruyan, the mainstay of the band opposite, walked in: "Envoy Yue, we meet again."

"Miss Ruyan, long time no see. Are you still in this band?" Yue Chi greeted her with a smile, and it looked familiar.

"If I'm not here, where else can I go? After three years, Yue Sishi hasn't changed at all, and his demeanor remains the same," Ruyan said slowly.

Yue Chi smiled softly: "Miss, you are too kind. You haven't changed either?"

Ruyan took a few light steps and moved closer. "I still remember the days three years ago when I met Si Shi. They were the happiest and most beautiful time in Ruyan's life."

Yue Chi was a little embarrassed: "Miss Ruyan, we agreed on this at the time!"

"Don't worry, sir. I just saw you and missed you, so I came to see you. Don't take it to heart. I don't have any other intentions." Ruyan was very disappointed.

Just as Yue Chi was about to answer, he heard Su Su's voice from outside: "Brother Yue, we are back."

Ruyan heard the voice, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, and she whispered: "It seems that I can't stay any longer."

Ye Ling was stunned when he entered the room: "Brother Yue, who is this?"

"Oh, this is Miss Ruyan from the opposite band," Yue Chi quickly introduced, "Ruyan, this is our own Ye Sishi, and Mo Sishi's wife Su Su."

Ruyan felt inferior and knelt slightly to greet him, "Hello, Night Envoy, Miss Su."

Su Su politely squatted slightly and returned the greeting: "Miss Ruyan, you are too polite."

Ye Ling just bowed in return without saying anything.

"Then I'll go first." Ruyan looked at Yue Chi reluctantly, and then left.

Ye Ling immediately looked gossipy: "Brother Yue, based on my many years of experience, you two must have a story, right?"

"It's not a big deal. We just met three years ago and played together for a few days. It's that simple. Don't think too much about it. It's a mutual agreement!" Yue Chi said.

Ye Ling looked at him with disdain: "Scumbag."

Yue Chi smiled helplessly: "My Night Envoy! We are children of the rivers and lakes, going through wind and rain every day. How can we be faithful to one person? It is too difficult to meet a beautiful woman to stay with for life. Not everyone has the fate of controlling the wind!"

"According to what you said, since I'm also a wanderer, does that mean I don't have to be faithful to one man?" Ye Ling asked with a smile.

"No problem! We can actually try..."

"Sister" Su Su came in with something in her arms and interrupted Yue Chi: "There's a woman staring at me with an unnatural expression."

"The one in purple?" Yue Chi asked.

"Yup!"

Ye Ling immediately looked at Yue Chi with a warning. Yue Chi smiled and said, "Don't glare at me. Yu Feng has nothing to do with these women. The one in purple is Xiao Yi's sister. I think her name is... Xiao Yuan'er. Yu Feng saved them. This girl is somewhat in love with Yu Feng, but I can guarantee that Yu Feng doesn't pay any attention to her. So, young lady, don't take it to heart. She's just a wandering performer."

Su Su still looked at Ye Ling a little aggrieved: "Sister."

"Don't worry, if my senior brother makes you unhappy, I will marry you. I will protect you and take care of you for the rest of my life. What's so good about those stinky men?" Ye Ling said boldly.

Su Su immediately nodded happily: "Okay, I do."

"Wait a minute," Yue Chi said, looking confused. "How can someone steal someone's girlfriend?"

"Hmph! If Brother Mo dares to do me wrong, I will immediately turn around and follow my sister. I will never leave in this life." Su Su hugged Ye Ling's arm.

"That's a must. I will make you the happiest woman in the world." Ye Ling said with a doting look on his face.

Su Su was even happier: "I'm so happy! I'll go get some more things. I'm going to make something delicious for my sister tonight."

Ye Ling felt happy as she watched the people jumping out. This girl knew how to be grateful. She always rushed to do things within her ability, for fear of falling behind.

"My cousin has changed so much!" Yuan Jialin said as he entered the room. "She used to be so timid, never breathing when she saw people, always quietly staying in a corner. But after coming out, I feel like she's become a different person. She's more cheerful and less timid."

"That's because someone supports her, someone who truly loves her," Yue Chi said. "She now has a hero living in her heart. She knows that no matter how she's bullied, this hero will stand up for her, right? Hero Night Envoy? I didn't expect you to be so popular with both men and women!"

Ye Ling smiled and said, "Since I acknowledge her as my sister, no one can bully my sister, no matter if they are right or wrong."

"Domineering" Yue Chi gave a thumbs up: "Then sister Ye, can you also take care of me, your brother?"

"The envoy of the Dizi Hall of Langya Pavilion is cruel and ruthless. Does he need my care?" Ye Ling asked back.

Yue Chi expressed his dissatisfaction: "That's all a misunderstanding of me. You know me, right? Am I that kind of cruel and ruthless person?"

"The smiling tiger is talking about people like you, right? If anyone dares to harm the interests of Langya Pavilion, I guarantee that you will jump out immediately, tear him in half, and throw him into the mountains to feed the wolves."

"Who told you that?"

"Who in Langya Pavilion doesn't know that you, Yue Sishi, like to tear people in half?"

Yue Chi smiled and nodded: "Okay! It seems that my reputation is indeed ruined."

Ye Ling smiled and glanced at Yuan Jialin in the corner: "Brother Yue, come on, follow me outside, let's chat for a few cents."

Yue Chi followed him out with a puzzled look on his face. Ye Ling walked to a deserted corner and whispered, "Tell me honestly, is there anything going on between Senior Brother and that Yuan? Do you not want to play around like you, Ruyan?"

"No, I swear, Yufeng is not as fickle as I am! Maybe he did play around before, but that was when he was in his twenties. You know, he was young and frivolous! In the past five or six years, he has been absolutely clean and has not done anything stupid again. Don't worry," Yue Chi said seriously.

Ye Ling finally nodded in relief: "My senior brother isn't as fickle as you. So, tell me, how many have you played with?"

"That's not something a girl should ask."

"Just tell me!" Ye Ling asked.

“I can’t remember”

"Sea King, you? Aren't you afraid that the Yue family's descendants will spread all over the world?"

“They don’t have the final say on this matter.”

"Huh?" Ye Ling stood there, thinking: Mengmeng, tell me, how did people in ancient times avoid contraception? Was it really that safe?

"There are plenty of contraceptive pills," Mengmeng replied.

Ye Ling still didn’t quite believe it: Does that thing work?

"Of course it works, otherwise wouldn't the girls in the brothel be giving birth every day?"

Ye Ling nodded: "You're right, oh my! You see, the first time I saw Yue Chi, I said he was not a good guy, the Sea King."

"Yue Sishi is the King of the Sea, but he is still very good in other aspects. He is well-educated and respectful to others," said Mengmeng.

Ye Ling agreed: You are right, he is indeed well-educated and knows how to respect others, but it is absolutely true that this guy is cruel and ruthless. Just look at Yuan Jialin's fear of him and you will know. That bastard thinks he is very great, but he is as obedient as a grandson in front of Yue Chi.

"Master's observations are so detailed that you humans' thoughts are incomprehensible to Mengmeng."

"Sister, come and help," Su Su shouted.

"Coming," Ye Ling responded.
