Chapter 4745: No Fleas
Two days later, while Shen Shiqi and his group were still combing the city for Yue’er, she had already arrived at the foot of Yunxiao Mountain. A joyful smile spread across her small face as she gazed at the familiar surroundings. With light steps, she darted towards the mountain like a playful bird.
Yunxiao Mountain was completely inaccessible to outsiders. Not only were there intricate formations within the mountains, but the entire area belonging to Yunxiao Mountain was enveloped by a powerful barrier. Outsiders were only aware of its general location but could never pinpoint its exact whereabouts.
“Hehe, am I the first one back?” Yue’er mused aloud as she walked. The thought of being the first to return filled her with cheerful anticipation.
“Little sister.”
Just then, a voice came from behind her. She froze, then looked up to see her brother, Muchen, emerging from a forest path. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
“Brother? What are you doing here?”
Muchen smiled. “I arrived before you. I came this morning, and when I saw you weren’t back yet, I decided to wait for you on this mountain path.”
“When you sent me a message last time, weren’t you still far away? How did you get back faster than me?” she asked, surprised. She walked up to him and sat down on the stone steps of the mountain path, resting her chin in her hands, a look of disappointment on her face. “I thought I was the first one here!”
Muchen sat down beside her. “Did you have a smooth journey back? Did the people who were following you give you any trouble?” As he spoke, his gaze fell upon her beggar’s clothes, a hint of curiosity in his small face. “Did you dress up as a beggar the whole way back?”
“Hehe, I shook them off, brother. It turns out that dressing up as a beggar is really fun!” she said with a grin. “Those people were following me, but when I dressed up as a beggar, they didn’t recognize me. Next time I go out, I’ll dress up as a beggar again.”
“Big Brother hasn’t come back yet. He was delayed on the road and will probably be back in two days, but he should be back within a month,” Muchen explained, looking at her. “When I came back, I reported to Master’s cave abode. Since you’re here, you should also go tell Master that you’re back.”
“Yeah~” Yue’er nodded, then stood up and followed her brother up the mountain.
Upon arriving at the cave abode, Yue’er stood before it and called out, “Master, I’m back!”
When they didn’t hear an immediate response and thought that their master wouldn’t emerge, the cave abode’s barrier array suddenly opened, and their Master, the Azure Emperor, slowly walked out from within.
“Back?” The Azure Emperor glanced at the two of them, sensing a subtle change in their auras. He nodded discreetly, acknowledging that they seemed to have gained something valuable from their journey.
“Master, we’re back, but my brother arrived first, and I just got here,” Yue’er stepped forward, smiling and narrowing her eyes playfully at him.
Seeing his little disciple dressed like a beggar, the Azure Emperor rubbed his brow. “How many days have you not bathed?” he inquired.
Hearing this, Yue’er paused for a moment. She lifted her arm, pulled at her clothes, sniffed intently, and then responded with serious conviction, “Master, my clothes are still clean. I only smell of sweat; there are no fleas on me.”
