Chapter 46: Into the City

“Master, it’s time to get up. I’ve already returned from training.” Mo Shulin knew they’ll go on a trip today, so he let Bai Yuming sleep a little longer.

But obviously, even if he gave Bai Yuming a little more sleep, he still wouldn’t get up.

“Let me lie down for a while, just for a while.” The fat rabbit weakly laid down on the grass nest.

He’s not actually sleepy, he just doesn’t want to move.

And the quilt is so comfortable, why would he bother to leave it?

Mo Shulin felt this conversation with a curtain between them wouldn’t be effective, he asked, “Master, can I come in?”

“Come in.” The fat rabbit tucked in the little pink quilt, answered with a bored tone.

Mo Shulin opened the curtain, and the light shone into the cubicle where the fat rabbit was.

The things inside his master’s cubicle are very simple, just a grass nest and a small shelf.

The previous three-layered small shelves were filled with food. Due to space constraints, the first layer is used to place a script “The Cute Immortal Rabbit Mistakenly Provokes the Tyrant Demon Lord’s Sweet Pet”. The second layer has a small white porcelain plate filled with biscuit crumbs. The third layer is for the fat rabbit’s storage bag that’s plump, round and pure white with the word “Baiyu” embroidered on it.

Because of the winter, a three-piece pink bed set was added to the grass nest: the set consisted of fluffy cushions, fluffy quilts, and fluffy pillows.

“Let me lie down for a while.” The fat rabbit covered himself with the little pink quilt, rubbing the pillow with his eyes closed, felt very comfortable.

“Master, don’t you want a script?” Mo Shulin saw through the fat rabbit’s lazy personality.

But seeing his master used the fluffy three-piece winter set he made, Mo Shulin felt a sense of satisfaction.

“I think you’re fooling me. The talking script in the lottery is used to make money, how can we have the luck to get it?” The fat rabbit glanced at Mo Shulin, after he yawned, his half-squinted eyes that struggled to open got closed again.

Mo Shulin: “…”

Mo Shulin didn’t expect Bai Yuming to respond to him after he slept.

He indeed tried to trick Bai Yuming.

How can there be a script for lottery prizes.

Although scripts are indispensable for Bai Yuming, but it’s not appropriate to make it as a lottery prize since it can’t attract guests.

Mo Shulin knew his first trick was no longer useful, so he could only change it to the second one.

“But… Master, I want to go.” Mo Shulin’s voice was soft and timid, for fear that his master would get angry.

This voice reached the fat rabbit’s ears, as if saying: Other children can have it, so he wants it too.

The fat rabbit: “…”

This is a critical hit. How can Bai Yuming refuse his disciple’s wish.

“Go, go, let’s go together. I’ll get up now.” The fat rabbit lifted the pink quilt, his expression is filled with righteousness.

“Thank you, Master.” Mo Shulin immediately smiled, put the curtain down so that master could change his clothes.

The fat rabbit can only placed his storage bag aside and transform back into a human then began to dress.

Bai Yuming kept chattering behind the curtain. He’s naturally inexhaustible as a master, “You have to say it in advance. Be obedient and follow me when we go out. Also, don’t spend too much money, don’t eat any random foods, and don’t run away with unfamiliar uncles and aunts, understand?”

“Yes, don’t worry master.” Mo Shulin’s voice was cheerful, but his face was expressionless.

He’s not a real ten-year-old boy, how could he make these kind of mistakes.

Though he really should follow Bai Yuming, his master will definitely spend money everywhere once he has it.

Bai Yuming came out after getting dressed. Wide-sleeved red robe contrasted his snow white skin, with ink black hair flows down like a waterfall, but his face clearly said “I don’t want to go out very, very much but I have to go out for the sake of the kid.”

Even so, Bai Yuming outstanding appearance is still very alluring, with a kind of coquettish and decadent beauty.

Mo Shulin glanced at the disheveled hair and said, “Master, let me help putting on a hair crown for you.”

“Okay.” Bai Yuming nodded.

Mo Shulin is still young, so Bai Yuming could only sit on a wooden stool outside the cave and let himself be fiddled by his little disciple.

Originally Bai Yuming has no expectation, but he became amazed once he saw himself in the mirror.

“Little Shushu’s skill is superb.” Bai Yuming gave his sincere praise to his disciple.

Bai Yuming usually has a lot of stray hair when he tied up his hair, looking like a fried lion. His hair will also bulge out at the back, showing his lack of experience.

But Mo Shulin’s way when tying his hair is different, it’s as smooth as wearing a wig.

Especially the red jade hair crown on the top of his head, which matches his red clothes very well. Mo Shulin left half of his hair scattered with the two red ribbons on purpose, to maintain his immortal-like temperament.

Bai Yuming felt something is wrong seeing his full body is covered with red garments.

It seems to be dedicated to a certain occasion.

“Thank you for the praise, master.” Mo Shulin was also very satisfied with this look on Bai Yuming.

Finally a proper apperance. It would be better if the clothes could be changed to white.

But Bai Yuming always wears red, and Mo Shulin finds it difficult to shake Bai Yuming’s deeply rooted habit.

“This hair crown is very exquisite, where did you buy it?” Bai Yuming felt that the thing on his head doesn’t seem expensive, he should be able to buy three or five more.

“This is what I made. If master likes it, I’ll tie master’s hair every day from now on.” Mo Shulin took the opportunity to show his loyalty. “This disciple has always been very grateful to master for accepting me and hopes to help master.”

Bai Yuming originally wanted to refuse, but Mo Shulin had said so, “Okay. Then I’ll leave my hair to you.”

It’s good to have a little disciple.

After another glance, Bai Yuming realized what he looked like, “If one day I got married, I’ll ask you to tie my hair.”

Though these red clothing was similar to wedding attire but with the red robe and red crown, he doesn’t seem like the bridegroom.

“Okay. I’ll comb master’s hair every day, until master gets married.” Mo Shulin nodded and agreed.

If possible, he hoped that Bai Yuming would still let him comb his hair after he got married.

Letting him to be Bai Yuming’s good disciple for a lifetime.

There are rare human activity at Liangji sect, small towns are filled with the sounds of singing and dancing.

But this wasn’t Mo Shulin’s goal. The place Mo Shulin wanted to go was Lifeng City, a big city about two hundred miles away from Liangji sect.

With 450,000 population of people, Lifeng City is a big city of upper middle class in Cultivator Continent.

The population seems to be large, but the main residents are mortals, so the New Year atmosphere is particularly rich, attracting many people to go to Lifeng City, joining in the fun.

When Bai Yuming and Mo Shulin got off the spirit boat, the line for entering the city was already ten meters long.

As a cultivator, he had the right to jump in and went inside the city faster, but Bai Yuming didn’t want to appear too special, so he obediently lined up.

A red lantern was hung at the city gate, and even the guards tied a red belt on their bodies.

Before entering the city, they could already feel the New Year environment.

Because it’s New Year, many people wore bright clothing and accessories. Especially children, each and every one of them dressed like red envelopes. Bai Yuming’s red clothing doesn’t seem like wedding dress anymore.

“Lifeng City. Shangguan Zhuqing?” Bai Yuming stared at the four characters on the iron painted silver hook on the city gate, his face became incredulous. “Is this city lord also the same Shangguan Zhuqing that we know?”

“Elder Shangguan is the famous city lord, there’s also an acting city lord who’s responsible for handling daily affairs.” Mo Shulin naturally has certain understanding of Lifeng City since he wanted to come here.

Changwu Peak is one of the ten main peaks in Liangji sect, but with the peak master being Shangguan Zhuqing, who’s only in Fit period, it means that, the position Shangguan Zhuqing has now has a huge connection with his family background.

“Should we change our destination? Wouldn’t it be impolite if we enter the city without visiting Elder Shangguan?” Bai Yuming felt tired when he thought of the New Year’s meaningless chit-chat.

“Master, don’t worry, this is just one of Elder Shangguan’s famous town. Elder Shangguan usually went back to his hometown for the New Year.” Mo Shulin replied.

Most of the towns dominated by mortals have been developed by convenient transportation. The spiritual energy in these places aren’t too abundant, and cultivators won’t stay in these places for a long time.

Most big families will find another piece of land to build their own family’s exclusive town.

Living in a place with sufficient spiritual energy for a long time will increase the chance of having children with spirit roots.

Even though it counted as a special monopoly, it’s also good for mortals.

Mortals don’t need to live in places with spiritual energy, so cultivators won’t disturb mortal lives, and if they owe favors to mortals, they may not be able to return them because mortal’s life span is too short.

Unless they’re related to each other, cultivators won’t have too much close contact with mortals, river water doesn’t interfere with well water.

However, it’s inevitable that demon cultivators will capture mortals for their cultivation, becoming a weapon against each family, and with each family still occupying a certain territory.

Lifeng City is the area under Shangguan Zhuqing’s jurisdiction. Due to Shangguan Zhuqing’s special status, Lifeng City can be protected by both Shangguan family and Liangji sect at the same time. It’s one of the many cities with higher safety factor.

Seeing Bai Yuming still hesitating, Mo Shulin whispered: “Master, they all say that strong dragons cannot suppress snakes. We’re in the same sect with Elder Shangguan. If we really encounter anything, we may have a background to support us.”

Bai Yuming instantly understand, “Clever.”

Even if he doesn’t ask Shangguan Zhuqing for help, he still has Liangji sect elder tokens that he can use.

The two stopped talking, but because of their conversation, they aroused many people’s curiosity in the sidelines, they all glanced at the two people who knew the city lord Shangguan.

The man is dressed in red, a gentleman as beautiful as jade, even looked better than Pan An. The child is dressed in cyan robe, even though he looked immature, but his eyes are calm. Both the master and disciple have elegant temperament with magnificent apperance.

At the same time, both of them are definitely cultivators. Everyone just stared but didn’t dare to talk to them.

Bai Yuming is accustomed to being the center of attention since he usually wears red. And Mo Shulin wasn’t even afraid of the siege of a hundred thousand cultivators, let alone these people’s gazes.

To enter the city, you need to pay the city fee.

It’s five copper coins for mortals, and two low-grade spirit stones for cultivators.

Bai Yuming wanted to dig out the spirit stones, but realized there’s not even a half of spirit stone in his storage bag. The previous spirit stones were used to buy scripts, and now his pocket is cleaner than his face.

He didn’t notice his spendings with so much spirit stones on the peak. Now when he arrived in the city, Bai Yuming realized that most of his property belonged to Mo Shulin.

Mo Shulin was very witty, rushed to save Bai Yuming from embarrassment, handing in the spirit stone for both of them.

Mo Shulin looked aggrieved, said: “Master, let the disciple handle these things. If master accepted me as a disciple, master also has to let me do something.”

“I just haven’t gotten used to it yet.” Bai Yuming coughed twice, concealing his embarrassment knowing he doesn’t even have one spirit stone in his pocket.
