Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 593 Beyond the horizon

(4)

Listening to the noisy music and watching the dazzling lights, Bai Feng was held high on the neck of a giant like a hero. Then a group of people went from street to street, arranging for the townspeople to go to the Lu family's house for the wedding banquet.

The Lu family held a grand banquet and guests came one after another. He only remembered that everyone was smiling at him, and then they were offered wine and drank heavily. They reveled from night till dawn, and more than a dozen wine glasses were broken, and people were unconscious.

It was three days later when Murong Yan woke him up...

"Three days? I slept for three whole days?" Bai Feng felt as if his limbs and head were not in the same body. He sat on the couch and blew his nose in confusion.

There was still a stink of alcohol in his mouth.

"Put your hands up!" Murong Yan had just wiped Bai Feng's back. She pointed at his armpits with a hint of disgust and threw the wet silk cloth on his face. She continued, "Wipe the rest yourself. I'll go see the kids first. Remember, don't leave any odor on your body. Master Lu and Madam Lu will come to see us later~"

Bai Feng wiped his body slowly, as if he was completely unaware that his wife and children were around him. He was just talking to a voice. He asked back, "Why did Lu Tianxiu come to see us?"

"Of course I'm here to pay you!"

"what?"

"You don't want to work for nothing this time, do you? You agreed in advance on how much you would be paid. He deliberately delayed it for a few days to let you sleep a few more days. Maybe he saw that you were too tired."

Bai Feng stood up suddenly and asked in surprise, "How...how many days? We have been staying here for so many days, how should the cost of this inn be calculated? Oh, I shouldn't have spent this money in vain. If I had known, I would not drink. No, I will never drink again!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? The shopkeeper didn't ask us for money." Murong Yan's voice came from not far away. Bai Feng looked in the direction of the voice and saw that she was holding the baby and feeding it. The sunlight shone on her profile and covered her open chest, and a few scars could be faintly seen.

A year ago, Murong Yan was trapped in the Taiping Tower and suffered torture. Now her body has regained its plumpness and she has enough milk to satisfy her child.

The fallen red leaves rustled outside the window, and Murong Yan looked out. At this moment, in Bai Feng's eyes, she was as solemn as a stone sculpture, and those deep scars were the marks left on the stone sculpture by the passage of time.

"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and clean yourself up, and then change your clothes." Murong Yan looked at him with a smile: "Don't stare at me..."

Bai Feng walked over and leaned over to look the baby in the eye: "This little guy should be one year old, right?"

"What little one? This is Xier, our daughter!"

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Maybe it was because the odor on Bai Feng was too strong, Xier started sobbing again.

"Go take a shower quickly!" Murong Yan pouted, not letting Bai Feng get any closer. Bai Feng stood there, smiling foolishly.

After a while of silence, Yu Ke came to inform that the hot water was ready and that Lu Tianxiu and his wife were coming to visit, and Bai Feng then went to take a bath.

Yu Ke came to the room to help Murong Yan tidy up her appearance, and she joked: "Sister, are you too cold to my brother? I heard everything just now."

"That's right, someone who has slept in for three days doesn't deserve me to treat him well!"

"Hee hee hee."

Before Yu Ke finished laughing, Xi'er also started laughing, but this was probably because the air around them was much fresher. The Lu couple had been waiting in the inn for a long time. They were newlyweds and didn't know each other very well, so they were polite and respectful to each other, which formed a strong contrast with the couple who were about to arrive.

The first to arrive were Murong Yan and Yu Ke. Xier was held by Yu Ke, and the lady and her sister took their seats together.

Murong Yan politely nodded and apologized, "Excuse me, my husband will be here soon."

"Madam, you don't have to be so polite." Mrs. Lu also said, "It is our family that wants to visit you. The host family can meet guests anytime they want."

Lu Tianxiu also echoed, "This is our Lu family's benefactor. If we can see him, it won't take too long."

Murong Yan said: "My husband has been too tired these days. I am grateful for your understanding."

After saying that, Murong Yan bowed and greeted them, and the Lu couple also returned the greetings.

Soon, Bai Feng came wearing a clean gray and white Taoist robe, and hurriedly took a seat, only to be given a cold shoulder by Murong Yan.

"You're so late, please say sorry first!" Murong Yan whispered. Bai Feng obediently stood aside and bowed formally, saying: "I'm ashamed of your respect. I can't hold my liquor, and I'm still dizzy..."

Mrs. Lu suddenly said, "Mr. Bai! You don't have to be so humble in front of us."

"Mrs. Lu knows Brother Feng!" Murong Yan said in surprise.

Madam Lu said, "I have already told my husband about General Bai Feng's deeds."

Lu Tianxiu then took out a bag of gold and bowed his hands respectfully, saying, "General Bai Feng, please accept my greeting. Please do not refuse this 'payment'."

"This……"

Madam Lu also took out a palm-sized brocade box and presented it to Bai Feng, saying, "Mr. Bai, this is the hair you gave me in the past. Now I should return it to you, along with the one hundred taels of gold."

"No, Mrs. Lu, we were just casual acquaintances in the past. Also, this much gold is far less than the wages we agreed upon in advance." Bai Feng was so anxious that he even forgot to sit down, so that he kept talking condescendingly during the whole process.

Murong Yan admired the generosity of the Lu family. She first asked Bai Feng to sit down and talk properly, and then asked, "I wonder how Madam Lu and my husband know each other?"

"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Zhang Sidan, and I'm the only daughter of Cangzhou Governor Zhang." Zhang Sidan told the truth: "It was about two years ago. Mr. Bai killed a bully who was rampant in Cangzhou, and the bully's father reported it to the government. I suddenly wanted to see this legendary young general with my own eyes... I didn't expect that two years later, you already have a child?"

Lu Tianxiu immediately asked, "Mr. Bai cannot reveal his identity. I already know the reason, but I am still curious to ask one more question. Where do you want to go next, Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai?"

"To be honest, we want to go to Kunlun Mountain to look for the 'immortal'." Bai Feng said, "Have you ever heard of the Kunlun Mountain Spirit Snake Temple?"

Lu Tianxiu and Zhang Sidan both shook their heads.

"Hahaha, Mr. Bai should have heard of the origin of Zhuxian Town. We don't believe in gods here, but we believe in you." Lu Tianxiu and his wife exchanged glances and said with a smile, "If Mr. Bai needs help, the Lu family is willing to help with all their strength. But I must remind you that the snow season will begin in two months. Once a blizzard hits Kunlun Mountain, my people may not be able to help."

Bai Feng thanked him solemnly, "That's enough. I will find it in two months."

Murong Yan and Yu Ke both looked at Bai Feng expectantly, and Xier, who was held in his arms, also smiled.
