Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

502 White Fox Ballad on the Flowing Jade River

Han Muye didn’t know if it was because the fish meat was really tender or because Mu Wan had personally delivered it, but he felt that it was fragrant.

“Tastes good.”

It was unknown if they were talking about fish or something else.

“Ahem, Old Jia, I brought some specialties of the Southern Wasteland this time. Would you like to take a look?” Xiao Chu glanced at Jia Yang and asked in a low voice.

How could Jia Yang not understand what he meant? He quickly stood up, apologized to Han Muye and Mu Wan, and went downstairs with Xiao Chu.

!!

Staying any longer would be awkward.

“Senior Brother Han, would you like to try this prawn dish?” Mu Wan stretched out her hand.

“I’ll do it myself.” Han Muye reached for a prawn on the plate, but crushed it.

Mu Wan chuckled and handed the prawn she had peeled to Han Muye.

At a street stall, Shao Datian ate five bowls of rice and three dishes in a row. He only wiped his mouth after he had finished all the soup on his plate.

Cuicui carefully wiped the rice from his mouth.

“Are you full?” Cuicui asked quietly.

“I’m… I’m full.

“Cuicui, don’t worry. When I find a job in the future, we’ll eat such delicious food every day.” Shao Datian pointed in the direction of the banquet hall.

“Let’s open a big restaurant in the future. You can be the lady boss.”

Shao Datian patted his stomach and said happily.

Cuicui looked at him, but said nothing. She just chuckled.

On the third floor of the restaurant, Han Muye suddenly said, “Junior Sister Mu, shall we open a pharmacy in the Imperial City?

“I’ll be the shopkeeper, and you’ll be the lady boss.”

The lady boss.

Mu Wan felt her face burning.

She nodded gently.

The caravan fleet set up camp in Heze County for the night. Xiao Chu led a few descendants of the Xiao family to buy local produce.

Many of the freshwater fish were sealed by ice. When they were brought back to the Imperial City, they would earn 10 times the profit.

Some low-value Southern Wasteland spiritual herbs would also be sold in Heze County.

According to Jia Yang, in the entire Nanyuan Prefecture, Heze County developed the fastest. It was almost comparable to Nanyuan City, where the county’s official department was located.

Because Han Muye and Mu Wan were traveling together, Xiao Chu arranged for the caravan fleet to stay in a rather high-end inn in the city.

In the past, it was good enough for the caravans to be stationed in the city.

Some of the Xiao family disciples could tell that something was going on and were much more attentive to Han Muye and Mu Wan. There were also some who still could not see through them and resented Han Muye and Mu Wan for each taking a room.

“Young Master Mu Ye, Fairy Mu, the night view on the Flowing Jade River is not bad. Do the two of you want to go shopping?” After everything was settled, Xiao Chu smiled and asked Han Muye.

Seeing Mu Wan’s expression, Han Muye smiled and nodded.

The two of them walked side by side towards the river outside the city.

The Liuyu River crossed Nanyuan Prefecture and carried the water of the three prefectures. When it reached Heze County, it was already thousands of feet wide.

Heze County was named after the kindness of the river.

The river was wide, and the sun had set. The new moon and many stars were rising, and the rippling water was dotted with reflections of the stars.

Not far away, there were cargo ships, fishing boats, and decorated boats. The light of the lamps and the stars bounced off each other.

“So beautiful…”

Mu Wan stood by the green willow and spoke softly.

Han Muye nodded and looked into the distance, his eyes flickering with golden light.

“This is the mortal world.

“When we cultivate, we have to leave this mortal world but remember this mortal world.”

At this moment, Han Muye wanted to reach out and put his arm around Mu Wan’s shoulder, just like Cuicui and Shao Datian, who were sitting not far away. However, he was afraid that he would use too much strength and hurt Mu Wan.

Perhaps Mu Wan had also sensed his state of mind. She slowly leaned over and put her head on his shoulder.

The shadows of the moon danced and the water glistened.

The reflection in the river water rippled gently.

“Cuicui, how about this? I’ll catch fish by the river in the future. I think many people here know how to catch fish. I know how to do it too.” Not far away, Shao Datian hugged Cuicui, as if he was afraid that she might catch a chill from the night wind.

“No, my Zhou family’s old residence is in Heze County. If we stay here, we will be recognized…” Cuicui’s words were filled with reluctance and helplessness.

“Let’s go to Nanyuan City, let’s go to the Imperial City. The Central Continent is so big, can’t we make our home there?

“Didn’t you say you wanted to open a restaurant? Let’s go to the Imperial City and open a restaurant.

“When the time comes, our children can go to the Imperial City Academy to study. When they grow up, they can also become high-ranking officials who govern a region.

“My grandfather is a fan of officials. When he sees his great-grandson become a high-ranking official, he will definitely be grinning from ear to ear.

“At that time, we’ll buy many gifts and return to the clan base…”

Han Muye and Mu Wan did not speak and quietly listened to the young couple dream about their future not far away.

Perhaps it was ordinary, or perhaps it was distant, but it was all for the beautiful future.

“Alright, it’s up to you. It’s up to you,” Shao Datian replied.

Han Muye looked down and saw Mu Wan looking at him.

The two of them looked away into the distance.

On the river, there was a pleasure boat swaying gently. Melodious string music and soft singing came from it.

“I’m a fox that has cultivated for a thousand years. I’ve cultivated for a thousand years, and I’ve been alone for a thousand years. In the dead of night, people can hear me crying. In the dim lights, people can see me dancing…”

The singing voice lingered in the air, making people feel a sense of gentleness in their hearts.

On the river bank, many pedestrians gathered and looked at the pleasure boat as they discussed in low voices.

“This white fox ballad is really nice.”

“It’s a ballad from the Imperial City. It’s said that it’s sung on all the pleasure boats in the Central Continent.”

“I wonder what the number one beauty of the Brocade Immortal Ship looks like. She can actually sing such a tune. It really makes me feel melancholic. I can’t bear to leave this gentle land…”

Some people commented on the song, while others told stories.
