CHAPTER 336: CHAPTER 320: YOU FICKLE WOMAN

Shen Mubai seemed deep in ancient memories and didn’t notice Yu Qingyan.

Yu Qingyan followed his gaze, looking at Yun Ran for a moment, and called him again, her voice soft and gentle, like a spring breeze.

Shen Mubai finally snapped out of it, looked down at her, "What’s wrong, Qing’er?"

"You said this morning you’d accompany me to the mountain to gather medicine. I see it’s getting late, so I wanted to ask when we’re setting off?"

Shen Mubai obviously forgot about this, a hint of apology crossing his eyes, "Qing’er, we’ll set off right now."

After speaking, he gave Yun Ran one last look, then turned to walk out of the crowd.

Yu Qingyan watched his back, couldn’t help but glance at Yun Ran again, her expression obscure and unfathomable.

Yun Ran earned three thousand taels of gold and was in a joyful mood, deciding to hunt a mountain chicken and make beggar’s chicken to reward herself.

She had just pushed Nangong Mo two steps when she was stopped.

"Your archery is excellent! I wonder how your horsemanship is? This princess wants to challenge you."

Yun Ran: "..."

[Compete in horsemanship? But I want to eat chicken now!]

Yun Ran raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Xiao, "How about we compete in something else?"

"Hmm? Something else? What do you mean?"

"For example, see who can hunt a mountain chicken first, how about it?"

"What? Mountain chicken?"

Upon hearing that, Xiao Xiao’s eyes darted around, somewhat unwilling, "That’s too easy!"

"How about changing it to hunting tigers, lions, or wolves instead, how about that?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Not great at all! These can’t be made into beggar’s chicken!]

With silent complaint in her heart, Yun Ran seriously spun a tale:

"Don’t underestimate the mountain chickens here. They aren’t ordinary! They run faster than tigers, fly higher than eagles, and can swim, truly the finest of mountain chickens!"

"???"

Xiao Xiao’s eyes widened in amazement, "These... these chickens can reach the sky, enter the earth, and dive into the sea?! That’s miraculous! This princess wants to raise one!"

Yun Ran nonchalantly raised an eyebrow, "So, shall we compete?"

Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously like a pecking chick, "Compete, compete! We must compete!"

"Alright, within an hour, whoever hunts the most mountain chickens wins."

The two hit it off immediately, wasting no time as they each headed into the mountains to find their quarry.

Nangong Mo wheeled behind Yun Ran.

Yun Ran initially didn’t want to bring him along, but he insisted on following. She persuaded him several times to go back along the way, but unfortunately, he wouldn’t listen.

Yun Ran felt he came along just to stir up trouble.

"You’re so slow, when will I get to eat chicken?"

The man glanced up at her, his tone carrying a faint sigh, "Are you unhappy with me?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[No words for this! Are you too deep into your role, pretending to be handicapped, unable to extricate yourself?]

A subtle sadness graced the man’s divine face, "Just now, you defended me vehemently, and now you find me a burden. Are women all so changeable?"

"Or, was everything just an act before, and only I believed your lies?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[I’ll turn your head into a dog’s head! You’re the real deceiver here! Never seen such a dramatic man before!]

"Stay here and feel sorry for yourself, best if a wolf carries you off to eat. I’m leaving now!"

Yun Ran had just turned around when a chilly voice floated to her ears:

"Where do you think you’re going? Even if I turn into a ghost, I’ll follow you, and strangle you."

"......"

Yun Ran almost stumbled, looked back and glared at him fiercely, then activated Qinggong and flew away!

[Hmph! In broad daylight, bet you don’t dare stand up! If you can, fly with your wheelchair!]

Nangong Mo: "..."

...

An hour later, Xiao Xiao arrived at the designated meeting point with two mountain chickens in hand, only to find Yun Ran sitting on the grass, eating a chicken leg with relish.

Shen Weixi sat next to her, holding half a chicken in his hands.

The air was filled with a tantalizing aroma, carried in on the breeze, teasing the appetite.

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath of the fragrance, raised her mountain chickens, and walked toward Yun Ran, "This princess caught two; how many did you catch?"

Yun Ran looked at her with a smile, "Unluckily, you caught one more."

Xiao Xiao immediately looked around her, confused at not seeing any chickens, "Where are your three chickens?"
