Chapter 276: Meeting an Acquaintance

"Cough, cough..."

Lin Fan, who was drinking tea, choked. Although he prided himself on being dashing, romantic, and handsome, he hadn't expected Yunluo to agree to be his woman upon their first meeting.

"You don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Lin Fan touched Yunluo's forehead and muttered to himself.

"You, you touched my head, you have to take responsibility for me!"

Yunluo suddenly said shyly.

"No way, you have to take responsibility just for touching? Is it that exaggerated?"

Lin Fan felt awkward.

"I am a princess, a body of gold. If you touched me, you have to take responsibility."

Yunluo said relentlessly.

"Husband, how can you not eat meat that's been delivered to your mouth? Just eat her!"

Li Mo Chou suddenly said.

"Mo Chou, you're making trouble too!"

Lin Fan shook his head and then drank his tea without saying more.

"Lin Fan, just let me stay. I promise I'll be obedient. You even said I have three-legged cat martial arts; you wouldn't want me to have an accident while traveling the Jianghu, would you?"

Yunluo continued to pester him, wanting to stay.

"Lin Fan, just let her stay!"

Little Dragon Maiden suddenly spoke up. She thought that as a princess, Yunluo must have many subordinates and could obtain a lot of intelligence; perhaps she could find the whereabouts of Zhang Sanniang.

She would help Yunluo stay, and Yunluo would help her find the person—a fair exchange.

"Beg me, and I'll let her stay!"

Little Dragon Maiden speaking up was something Lin Fan hadn't expected. He felt Little Dragon Maiden's temperament was truly becoming somewhat unfamiliar to him, so he wanted to test her.

"I won't beg anyone!"

Little Dragon Maiden said faintly.

"Then kiss me, that works too!"

Little Dragon Maiden wouldn't beg anyone—that was normal—so Lin Fan changed his request.

"You! Scoundrel! Senior Sister, look at him!"

Little Dragon Maiden was speechless and complained to Li Mo Chou.

"Junior Sister, just submit to him. He thinks of you every night until he can't sleep!"

Li Mo Chou didn't help her; instead, she spoke well of Lin Fan.

"Pah! Senior Sister isn't a good person either!"

Little Dragon Maiden couldn't help but spit.

"Alright, then you can stay for now. But once you stay, you have to say goodbye to your princess life. We don't have anyone here to serve you!"

"It's okay, I don't need anyone to serve me. I can take care of myself."

Yunluo was instantly overjoyed and, like a lackey, served Lin Fan tea and water.

"The tea is about finished, let's go! It's just a pity about this tea stall. The original shopkeeper and waiter must have been dealt with; who knows if this place will be abandoned."

After finishing the tea and resting for a while, Lin Fan and the others mounted their horses. Lin Fan sighed as he looked at the tea stall, then led the women away.

A quarter of an hour later, a group of people arrived. Seeing the people fallen all over the ground, their expressions changed. Someone carefully checked and reported to the leader: "My lord, they are all dead. It seems their heads were shattered in an instant."

"It seems to be an expert. I don't know if Princess Yunluo was saved by him. Let's wait for the leader to arrive!"

The leader confirmed that his group was no match and decided to give up the pursuit and wait for reinforcements.

Lin Fan didn't know that the trouble Yunluo brought was just beginning.

Because the horse Yunluo rode, while a fine steed, was far inferior to the Night-Illuminating Jade Lion and the others, they stopped and went along the way, only encountering a small town at noon.

"Let's go, enter the town and find a restaurant to have lunch before setting off."

Lin Fan led the women into the town and found a restaurant to rest for a while.

"Yo, Hua Manlou, Lu Xiaofeng!"

"Lin Fan!"

Lin Fan hadn't expected to run into the two of them in this remote town.

Lu Xiaofeng and the others were even more surprised to meet Lin Fan here.

"Hua Manlou, how does it feel to have your sight restored?"

Lin Fan led the women to Lu Xiaofeng's table and asked Hua Manlou.

"After the world became colorful, I encountered many beautiful landscapes and also witnessed many sinister human hearts."

Hua Manlou bowed to Lin Fan and said with a smile.

"Human hearts have always been sinister; they won't change just because you can see or cannot see. Restoring your sight was to let you appreciate the beauty of the world, not to dwell on those ugly faces."

Lin Fan sat down and spoke eloquently.

"Makes sense, Hua Manlou has been taught!"

Hua Manlou hadn't expected Lin Fan to say this, and he felt relieved. He had always lived in darkness, and after his sight was restored, suddenly seeing the sinister side of the world had left him at a loss. Lin Fan's words had awakened the dreamer.

"Hua Manlou just thinks too much; he's not as carefree as I am!"

Lu Xiaofeng poured a cup of wine for Lin Fan and said with a smile.

"Is 'Four Eyebrows' Lu Xiaofeng carefree, or is he just heartless?"

Lin Fan looked at Lu Xiaofeng playfully.

"Lin Fan, we are friends; you can't undermine me. And have you changed your romantic confidante again? I remember it wasn't these ladies last time."

Lin Fan undermined Lu Xiaofeng, and Lu Xiaofeng naturally didn't want to be outdone, poking at Lin Fan's heart as well.

"I have many women; I'll introduce you to them when I have the chance!"

Lin Fan didn't care at all. His women all knew about each other and weren't afraid of Lu Xiaofeng sowing discord here.

"Better not. Your standards are too high; those around you are all stunning beauties. I'm afraid I'll unknowingly imitate you and end up alone for the rest of my life."

"You, Lu Xiaofeng, lacking women? That truly is a wonder of the world."

"Lin Fan, you don't know, Lu Xiaofeng even needs me to pay his tab when he goes to brothels to drink flower wine. He's a wanderer of the Jianghu; who would fall in love with him!"

Hua Manlou also started laughing.

"What are you doing in this remote town? Is the fake silver case over?"

Lin Fan stopped mocking Lu Xiaofeng. Everyone was a wanderer of the Jianghu; why should a man make things difficult for another man?

"We are going to Shangjing City to visit a friend."

"You are also going to Shangjing City?"

Lin Fan was somewhat surprised. He was going to Shangjing City, Yunluo was going to Shangjing City, and Lu Xiaofeng and the others were also going to Shangjing City. This was a gathering of winds and clouds in Shangjing City.

"Also? Are you also going to Shangjing?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Lin Fan curiously.

"Yeah, killing Qin Gui to add some excitement!"

Lin Fan said casually.
