Chapter 124 I am a "Man"
Cang Yue Kingdom——Nanlai Official Road
The next morning, Ye Ling appeared before everyone in a dark purple, cuffed, waisted suit. Height-enhancing shoes with insoles gave her a slender figure and an upright posture, making her look even more imposing. The dark purple suit accentuated her fair complexion, while the cuffed sleeves and waist accentuated her muscular build. His black hair was tied up high, held in place by a purple crown. Meng Meng had styled it in men's clothing, giving him a well-defined face with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin, rosy lips. A slight smile revealed a row of perfectly white teeth, a refreshing touch.
Su Su looked at Ye Ling with a long gaze. The hero in her storybook suddenly appeared in the real world. Suddenly, she felt that Mo Yufeng was no longer attractive.
Mo Yufeng was also surprised: "You grew taller overnight?"
Ye Ling turned around and said, "How is it? Can't you tell that I'm a woman dressed as a man?"
"I really can't tell, he's quite handsome!" Su Su exclaimed sincerely.
After hearing this, Ye Ling was secretly happy.
"Why did you suddenly think of wearing men's clothes?" Mo Yufeng asked curiously.
"Isn't this convenient for movement? Besides, wearing men's clothes can avoid some unnecessary troubles and will also help my next plan to play a prank on someone. Listen to me, from now on, I am a man. If anyone calls me Miss or Senior Sister again, I will make a bowl of human soup with his internal organs. Do you understand?" Ye Ling asked loudly.
"Yes" everyone said in unison.
Mo Yufeng only felt a pain in his trigeminal neuralgia. It was too difficult to travel with a group of children. "Then let's set off quickly. We should rush to Shunyang County at noon, rest for an hour, and then set off again after an hour. Master Youlou, do you have any objections?"
"No, I have listened to Ye...Si Shi all the way. I won't express my opinion." You Minglang's eyes were always on Ye Ling.
"Let's go," Mo Yufeng gave an order and the team began to move forward.
"Brother Ling, can I ride in your carriage?" Su Su's voice was soft.
"Wait a minute," Mo Yufeng quickly stopped him, "You like carriages, so I bought one for you. Why are you riding in someone else's?"
Su Su's eyes were always on Ye Ling: "Compared to a broken carriage, I still like people, Brother Ling, is that okay?"
Ye Ling looked at Mo Yufeng, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Sure! Let's go."
"Thank you, Brother Ling" Su Su was very happy.
Looking at the people who had already boarded Ye Ling's carriage, Mo Yufeng was petrified on the spot: "What...what is going on?"
"Young Master Mo, let's go quickly. There's a lot of time left! Why rush?" Youminglang gloated.
"Go, go, go." Mo Yufeng suddenly felt like someone was intercepting him.
The team finally started to move forward. Jiuyou was very gentlemanly and avoided suspicion, sitting at the front of the carriage.
Su Su in the car was still staring at Ye Ling with a silly smile: "Sister, you look so beautiful dressed like this. I also want to wear men's clothes someday."
"Sure! Life is free! Wear whatever you want."
"Yes, but how come you are so much taller?"
"Shoes! This pair of riding boots of mine is specially made. It has a height-increasing pad inside, which makes it look higher. Basically all my riding boots have height-increasing pads. I see that you are wearing riding boots too, so you can actually add some height-increasing pads inside," Ye Ling explained patiently.
"Wow! You're so smart!" Su Su exclaimed, but also felt a little discouraged: "You are already much smarter than me."
"How old are you? You will grow taller."
"Yes, hehe..."
"Take it off. I have some height-enhancing pads here. I'll get you a pair. Our feet are about the same size."
"Great, I can grow taller too, hehe..."
Today, on the carriage, there was a communication meeting between two teenage girls, and happy laughter could be heard from time to time.
Just as noon arrived, the city gate of Shunyang County was right in front of them. Mo Yufeng gave everyone a day off so that they could move freely. They gathered at the city gate and set off on time at 2:15 pm.
Ye Ling and Mo Yufeng entered the city together, and then Mo Yufeng and Su Su left on foot, accompanied by two guards, pulling two supply carts for procurement.
Ye Ling took Zhuang Yi and ten guards to pick up Meng Jing. Su Su's carriage was also taken away by Ye Ling because Qiu Ju and Rui Bao were sitting inside. Jiu You didn't ride a horse, so he still sat in the front of the carriage.
Youminglang did not go into the city. He found a teahouse to rest. Pigeon accompanied him, while Huzi went into the city alone to buy the necessary items.
Ye Ling did not go to pick up anyone directly, but asked Zhuang Yi to send someone to Meng Jing's maternal grandfather's house to pass on a message, asking Meng Jing to prepare to set off. She herself went shopping as she walked, going in and out of this store, and by the way, she found a restaurant and treated everyone who came with her to a meal.
Everyone liked the new driver more and more. Although he looked fierce, he was actually a warm-hearted boss.
After having a good meal and a drink, Ye Ling, led by Zhuang Yi, slowly came to a mansion. There were already several carriages parked at the door of the mansion, and the leading one was also a four-wheel drive vehicle. From the decoration, it was obvious that it was owned by a wealthy man. Servants were standing quietly around the carriages.
The servant guarding the gate immediately bowed when he saw Zhuang Yi and said, "Emissary Zhuang Qian, please wait a moment. Our cousin is ready and will be out soon."
Qiuju got off the carriage and waited at the gate of the mansion. Ye Ling also got off the horse and leaned on Su Su's carriage with his arms folded across his chest.
Ruibao stuck his head out of the car window. "Wow! This clearly shows a wealthy family traveling. No wonder they hired Langya Pavilion for escort. With her flamboyant behavior, who else would the bad guys target but her?"
Ye Ling smiled faintly: "You little brat finally got it right for once. Rich people like them who only made their fortunes lately would rather take out all their money and hang it on their bodies, which is too embarrassing to show in public."
"Senior brother, let's not talk about anything else, you look really good in this outfit today." Rui Bao changed his words naturally. On the one hand, he didn't want his internal organs to be made into human soup, and on the other hand, he wanted to curry favor with Ye Ling so that he could follow him in the future.
"Keep up the vision"
As soon as Ye Ling finished speaking, a group of women, young and old, came out of the gate, surrounding Meng Jing in the middle and seeing her off.
"Miss Meng" Qiuju squatted slightly and saluted: "Let's go!"
"Where is Miss Su? Why doesn't she come to pick me up?" Meng Jing spoke arrogantly.
"The young lady has gone shopping, and our Renzitang envoy is here to pick you up," Qiuju said, turning to look at Ye Ling.
Zhuang Yi immediately spoke up, "Miss Meng, this is Ye Sishi, one of the three great Sishi of our Langya Pavilion."
Meng Jing's eyes widened, and he looked at Ye Ling with a gaze that lasted for a thousand years.
Ye Ling's lips curled up into a playful smile, and she looked at Meng Jing wantonly, wondering if this woman had taken a fancy to her. However, she had no interest in this spoiled young lady.
Meng Jing walked forward slowly, squatted slightly and saluted: "So you are the Sishi of the Renzi Hall of Langya Pavilion! It is true that hearing about a name is believing," Meng Jing said shyly, her eyes never leaving Ye Ling.
"Miss Meng, you are too kind," Ye Ling responded indifferently.
"The journey is long, I hope Envoy Ye will take care of me." Meng Jing approached Ye Ling.
"It is our duty to protect the safety of our guests. Miss Meng, don't worry. Now that you are out, let's get going."
"Okay." Meng Jing got into his carriage, looking back every few steps.
Ye Ling jumped on the horse and started forward. Zhuang Yi whispered, "Si Shi, she didn't get angry today?"
"Like repels like, opposites attract, do you understand?"
Zhuang Yi thought for a moment and said, "She doesn't really think you're a man, does she?"
"That's her own business. I didn't say I was a man."
"But you're dressed like a man!"
"What's wrong with dressing up? I just like wearing men's clothes, is that not okay? Who made that rule? By the way, does she know my name and identity?"
"She shouldn't know. How could she, a girl from the inner chamber, know about the big events in the martial arts world?"
"That's good. Do you know how old she is?"
"Sixteen or seventeen, I forgot."
Ye Ling didn't say anything else, secretly complaining in his heart: What a sinful era! Sixteen or seventeen-year-old mothers are still in junior high and high school, and here they are getting married and having children at the age of sixteen or seventeen. They are used as reproductive tools before they even develop. It's really horrible!
"Master" Mengmeng spoke up: "The world in the book is actually very unfair. Men can get married at any time, but women have to be between the ages of sixteen and twenty. After twenty, they will be looked down upon."
Ye Ling cursed inwardly: Bullshit, look at me, I'm going to be a woman who won't get married until I'm thirty. Wait, maybe I won't even get married. Wouldn't it be nice to live a life of freedom? Why suffer the pain of having children?
"You said you wanted to fall in love last night," Mengmeng complained.
Ye Ling retorted: Dating is dating, and marriage is marriage.
"Any relationship that is not aimed at marriage is just hooliganism"
Ye Ling scoffed. "If you're a scoundrel, be a scoundrel. I'm going to be a scumbag. I'm going to date a few men, then audition the best one, and then consider marriage." I finally got the script for the time-traveling heroine. What I want to do is have fun, to blend into this era, not try to change it like some time-travel dramas do. Don't you think about it? How is that even possible? You have to know your own worth. Don't blindly seek death, and don't risk your life for a man. Believe me, there are always others after this one. It's impossible for a family to be extinct.
"I can't argue with you"
Ye Ling continued in her heart: I also want to find various handsome guys to fall in love with and enjoy the sweetness of love, rather than the grave of marriage.
"Aren't you afraid they'll start a fight?"
Ye Ling raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a sly smile: Let them fight, I will just sit there with a plate of melon seeds and watch the show. This world is so big, there must be many interesting things waiting for me to discover. I must not be bound by marriage easily. I decided to make good use of this opportunity to travel through time, have fun and explore this new world.
"That's great. I can see the beautiful scenery that my master sees, too. Then I'll follow my master to explore the new and strange stories of this era."
Ye Ling was satisfied: "That's right! There are many men. First of all, my Jiuyou is not bad. Let him take the number one card and wait in the waiting area for his turn."
"Number one card, Jiuyou must be so happy!"
