Chapter 2327: An Overlooked Detail
Meanwhile, the activity by the medicine field drew the attention of many True Demons. The great elder quickly ran over to tell them what had happened. Many of them cried out in surprise. This really was just too shocking!
And when did the young master suddenly become so brave?
Didn’t he only manage to avoid angering Manager Pi by giving him his women?
But when their gazes shifted to Jiang Luofu and Ji Xiaoxi, they immediately had looks that seemed to say ‘as expected’.
One woman was mature and stunning, and although she was clearly already a female slave, she was still proud, making her even more exciting to be with. Those long, black silk-covered legs were truly seductive too. Meanwhile, the young lady was lovely and adorable. It made them unable to help but feel a sense of protective desire. The white stockings she wore gave her an even greater youthful feeling. The two women, one in black and one in white, were entirely different, and yet they complemented each other well.
No wonder Donaire wouldn’t let them go no matter what. I wouldn’t want to either if it were me!
As all of the monsters stared at her with interest, Ji Xiaoxi lowered her reddened face. She really wanted to find some hole to crawl into and hide herself. Even Jiang Luofu was feeling a bit uncomfortable. She didn’t make eye contact with any of these monsters.
Zu An moved over to their side and asked, “You weren’t injured just now, were you?”
Ji Xiaoxi said, “I had little aunt protecting me, and you came quickly too, so I wasn’t hurt at all. But my little aunt...”
“I’m not hurt either,” Jiang Luofu said.
“Not hurt? This part is still bleeding,” Zu An held her elbow and said in annoyance.
The guards weren’t just incompetent fools. It was impossible for Jiang Luofu to not have been hurt at all when she was surrounded and attacked by so many guards.
“Just a flesh wound. It’s not a big deal.” When she felt his finger touch her wound, Jiang Luofu felt her heart rate speed up a lot. She was scared that blood would come out.
Ji Xiaoxi was alarmed. She quickly took out some medicine to help Jiang Luofu bind her wound.
“I’m really fine...” Jiang Luofu’s refusal only grew softer and softer. Her cold face reddened a bit as she watched Zu An carefully wrap up her wound, displaying his handsome side profile...
When he finished wrapping up her wounds, Zu An bid the great elder goodbye. The great elder also felt that these two women were too beautiful, and they could end up causing a stir if they stayed here, so he had Zu An quickly return to get some rest. He even blew a whistle, summoning a giant eagle to deliver them back.
The three of them rode on the back of the eagle. Ji Xiaoxi was filled with a sense of excitement and novelty as she said, “The beasts of this world are much bigger than those of our world. I wonder how they were trained to be so obedient.”
“If Xiaoxi is interested, I can catch one to be your mount in the future.” Zu An gave her a doting look. Who wouldn’t like such an obedient young lady?
“Thank you, big brother Zu.” Ji Xiaoxi grabbed his arm and had a big smile on her face.
“You’re only giving one to Xiaoxi? What about me?” Jiang Luofu immediately regretted saying that as soon as it came out of her mouth. Why did it sound as if she was acting spoiled?
Zu An was a bit stunned. “If big sis principal wants one too, it would be my pleasure.”
Jiang Luofu’s face reddened.
Why do these words sound a bit weird?
But when she saw the clear expression in his eyes, she knew she was overthinking things.
Ah, just what is up with me lately?
Ji Xiaoxi couldn't help but grumble, “Big brother Zu, can you not call my little aunt big sis anymore? Doesn’t that mean I have to call you uncle?”
Zu An didn’t even have time to respond when Jiang Luofu quickly said, “We’ll just continue as we always have. You don’t need to worry about that.” For some reason, she didn’t want Zu An to treat her like a member of the older generation the way Xiaoxi did.
“Okay, we’ll just do that,” Zu An said with a smile. “By the way, how did the medicine gathering go?”
“We collected quite a bit. The medicines in the True Demon race’s medicine field were all very high-level.” Ji Xiaoxi took out a few stalks of medicine with an excited expression. “Once I research their medicinal properties, I should be able to produce the relevant poisons.”
Zu An rubbed her head. “Don’t tire yourself out now.”
Ji Xiaoxi shook her head slightly. “Big brother Zu, you haven’t slept in many days. Compared to you, I’m not tired at all.”
Zu An was stunned. Only now did he realize that he hadn’t slept at all since he came to the Monster World. But he didn’t have time to sleep. There were so many things happening all around him, and he had always been wandering along the brink of life and death. He didn’t dare to show any carelessness.
“How about you use this chance to sleep for a bit? There's still a bit of time until we get back,” Jiang Luofu suggested.
The True Demon territory’s medicine field was some distance away from Donaire’s residence.
“That’s a good idea.” Zu An didn’t refuse them.
With his cultivation, even though it was fine if he didn’t sleep, all those years of sleeping normally had already become a habit. Besides, he needed to rest for a bit to clear out his thoughts. That way, he could figure out if there were things he'd overlooked. He didn’t even sit down in meditation; instead, he just lay down on the eagle’s back, using the most primitive sleeping method to relax his entire body. He almost instantly entered dreamland.
“Big brother Zu really must’ve been tired.” Ji Xiaoxi felt a bit heartbroken as she watched him sleep. “Will it be uncomfortable for him without a pillow?”
Jiang Luofu chuckled. “With your big brother Zu’s cultivation, forget about not having a pillow, he could sleep without a problem even in the harshest environment.” Even though that was what she said, after giving his sleeping posture a look, she hesitated for a moment before gently moving his head onto her thighs to serve as a lap pillow.
Ji Xiaoxi was shocked when she saw that. “Little aunt, you...”
After all, when her little aunt had just arrived at Brightmoon City in the past, because she was dressed in such a daring manner, many perverts had been drawn to her beautiful legs. Because she was more open-minded and unrestrained by conventions than usual, there were many people who had flirted with her and even tried to touch her legs. But none of them had succeeded, without exception. They'd had their arms and legs broken instead, learning a painful lesson. In the past, there had even been bets going on in the underground world to see who could touch her legs first. From an initial hundred thousand silvers, it had reached close to a million silvers.
There were even some people who had wanted to approach Ji Xiaoxi's little aunt through her, but her little aunt had always pushed everyone else far away. Not a single person had been able to get close after all these years. Some had even wondered if she didn’t like men to begin with.
It was precisely because Ji Xiaoxi understood her little aunt’s past all too well that she was so shocked when she saw Jiang Luofu place another man’s head on her thighs.
Jiang Luofu moved her finger to her lips. “Let him get some good sleep.”
When she saw that her little aunt’s expression was neutral, Ji Xiaoxi didn’t think too much of it. Instead, she felt a bit jealous.
Little aunt’s legs must be much fuller. My legs wouldn’t be that comfortable for big brother Zu to sleep on.
The giant eagle was fast. The medicine field was quite far from the cave, but they quickly arrived at their destination.
When he felt the giant eagle descend, Zu An gradually woke up. Even though he hadn’t sle[t for a long time, he felt as if his brain had been rebooted. A lot of complicated information had cleared up. He suddenly remembered a detail he'd overlooked. If things really were as he predicted, things would be problematic.
While he was thinking over these things, Jiang Luofu asked teasingly, “How much longer are you going to lie there for?”
Only then did Zu An realize that he was lying on Jiang Luofu’s thighs. The gorgeous principal had a pink blush on her face, adding an indescribable air to her usually cold demeanor.
Jiang Luofu actually didn’t mind it if he continued to stay there. But they had already arrived at the cave dwelling. It would be hard for her to explain things if the other women came out and saw them. What if they misunderstood and thought she was seducing Zu An? That would be terrible.
“Sorry.” Zu An quickly got up and apologized. He had already sensed a soft and supple feeling when he was still a bit muddle-headed. But because he was in a safe place and he had two trustworthy sweethearts next to him, he hadn’t completely woken up. Instead, he had sorted out various details in his sleep to analyze the likelihood of his suspicions.
When he got up, he couldn't help but give Jiang Luofu’s thighs a look. He had actually slept on the most comfortable pillows before, but he had never experienced anything like this.
Just then, the other women received the news and came out. Pei Mianman couldn't help but give Jiang Luofu a confused look. “Hm? Big sis Jiang, why is your face so red?”
