Chapter 337

"Are you thinking of me?" Jiang Nan smiled.

"If Young Master doesn't believe it, you can also consider it as being for myself," Shi Yadie said.

"If he sees me with Young Master, in a fit of rage, he would wipe me out as well."

"Young Master might be able to leave, but I cannot; I couldn't even escape from Young Master's hands," Shi Yadie said. "And the item was... well, it was given to Young Master."

"I don't even have my trump cards left. Young Master said I am very poor; without trump cards, I am even less than nothing," Shi Yadie said.

"Don't play the victim," Jiang Nan said. "I've held back several times, I haven't eaten meat yet."

"You should be happy."

"Following Young Master is your good fortune; you should be even happier," Jiang Nan said.

"Young Master, I am so happy." Shi Yadie rolled her eyes. Is a fake smile enough for you?

"Something's not right." Jiang Nan frowned.

"What?" Shi Yadie looked over.

Jiang Nan scanned the area and also looked at Shi Yadie.

"What, what's wrong with me?" Shi Yadie asked weakly. What does Young Master want to do now?

She really had nothing left.

"I was wondering why there's always a smell. Miss, did you just wet your pants?" Jiang Nan said.

Shi Yadie let out a soft whimper, her face turning bright red. She wanted to run away, wanted to cover her face; she was mortified.

"Isn't it because you beat me?" Shi Yadie glared at him.

"Is that so?" Jiang Nan said. "Before, you were an enemy; now, you are my mount. It's different now, isn't it?"

"If you had a problem, why didn't you say so earlier? Good thing I didn't ride you."

"Otherwise... haha, just kidding."

"You aren't really thinking of jumping into the river, are you?" Jiang Nan looked at the river nearby. Shi Yadie had the look of someone who didn't want to live anymore and wanted to jump in.

"Look ahead, is that... An Daye?" Someone was passing by.

Shi Yadie quickly steadied herself and, even more quietly, covered her dress.

Quietly, the light of the laws within her dress steamed it dry.

She didn't dare look at Jiang Nan's side, but with people in front, it wasn't good to show too much embarrassment.

She took several deep breaths, but still couldn't steady herself much.

Fortunately, that group's focus was mostly on Jiang Nan in front.

Jiang Nan, An Daye... these two names were more famous than hers everywhere.

Especially recently, having done too many major things.

Or rather, suspected of having done them.

There was so much confusion and gossip that it was impossible to judge.

People were saying all sorts of things.

Some even said it was done by other powerful Holy Sons or descendants of formidable Ancient Royal Clans who had emerged.

Ancient races had always looked down on humans, demon races, and the like.

"Hello everyone." Jiang Nan greeted them with a smile. "Which Holy Land are you from?"

"No, no, no, we aren't from any Holy Land; we are just rogue cultivators." The group opposite waved their hands repeatedly.

Rumor had it that this person specialized in hunting down Holy Lands.

"What's with those expressions?"

"Oh, I see, you must have heard those recent rumors too."

"That wasn't me. I'm a good person, an honest man."

"I don't know anything."

"If you don't believe me, ask the Shi Family Holy Maiden; I've been with her the whole time," Jiang Nan laughed.

"Hehe, Young Master is indeed a good person." Shi Yadie smiled, having returned to normal.

"It really is the Shi Family Holy Maiden."

"I heard a talented descendant of the Shi family was killed not long ago, and there were rumors... it seems it really wasn't him."

"Brother An, sorry, we didn't mean that, it's just..."

"Hehe, just go out and spread the word for me; I really am a good person," Jiang Nan said.

"Definitely, definitely." The group laughed it off and hurriedly left.

The water here was getting muddier; better to get some benefits and leave quickly.

"Little mount, very obedient," Jiang Nan said.

Shi Yadie couldn't smile anymore.

I give up.

Anything but a mount, okay?

"Come, let Young Master ride you once," Jiang Nan said. "Every guy has a mount and acts all cool; now I have one too."

"I, I'll do it." The little blue bird volunteered.

"Alright, you do it this time, she'll do it next time," Jiang Nan said.

Shi Yadie didn't speak; she didn't hear it and wouldn't acknowledge it.

The little blue bird was a Bi Fang, very spirited and fast.

Ninth Layer of Dragon Transformation, definitely not weak.

Also very stylish, with an immortal aura.

Somewhat like a crane, with red patterns covering its blue feathers, very strange and beautiful.

Also very proud.

Skilled with fire and flies fast.

A little training would really make it work.

Jiang Nan stepped up, and the little blue bird was excited, letting out a long cry as it flew away.

It wanted to show its abilities in front of its new master; it was also very useful.

It still had its own thoughts and was close to Shi Yadie, but a new master is a new master.

This one was truly subdued.

Shi Yadie was still a work in progress.

Jiang Nan didn't care; it was his first time using it.

If it didn't work, he'd just beat it up again and use it again.

The kind that cries after one punch.

It would eventually cry out "Master."

Shi Yadie also stood on the back of the little blue bird, or more accurately, the big bird, the big Bi Fang.

She named it Xiao Qing.

"Young Master, where are we going?"

"Exploring the ruins," Jiang Nan said. "This place is quite large. By the way, share the intelligence with Young Master."

"Okay." Shi Yadie nodded, waving her hand to evolve the intent, and the consciousness-based communication was all transmitted to Jiang Nan.

This was her specialty.

"A bunch of guys, and they all arrived quite early."

"What about Young Master, what are you busy with?" Shi Yadie asked.

"You guessed it, didn't you? That's right, those rumors are all me, I killed them all," Jiang Nan said.

"You should be very glad now, you little spirit deer, that you weren't eaten," Jiang Nan said.

"I am very glad, thank you Young Master, thank you for having you," Shi Yadie said perfunctorily.

"Young Master, if we are this flashy, aren't you afraid of running into that old Divine King?" Shi Yadie said.

"Perhaps the Divine King hunting Young Master isn't just one person."

"Young Master can leave, but we cannot," Shi Yadie said.

"Then you just state your identity, say you were captured by me, and thank them for saving you," Jiang Nan said.

"Can we say that?" Shi Yadie said.

"As long as you are my people, you cannot easily get into trouble," Jiang Nan said.
