Chapter 39 Encounter
In the territory of Yangzhou in the Great Xia Dynasty, Donghai County City.

This quaint city has stood here for thousands of years, and the walls are full of mottled marks left by years of erosion.

Under the city wall, there are young boys and girls standing, they are Li Mubai and Ji Baizhi who rushed here day and night.

With a pair of sleepy eyes, Li Mubai yawned wearily. He turned his head to look at the cheerful Ji Baizhi, and reached out to press the edge of the bamboo hat for her, so as to cover the girl's cute furry cat ears.

"It's here! This is Donghai County Meow!"

Ji Baizhi is like an ignorant girl who came to the city for the first time from a remote village. There seems to be light in her light blue eyes, and she looks at everything unknown with great interest. She really has never seen anything in the world. Let her look at it carefully for a long time, and sometimes exclaimed.

"It's just a city wall, let's go in first, there are countless prosperity in the city."

Li Mubai covered his face, and yawned again. Ji Baizhi was yelling all the way, which really made him feel uneasy, but Ji Baizhi is still a nocturnal animal. His current time difference is completely confused. Sometimes he doesn't know if he doesn't look up at the sky. It was day or night.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said again: "After entering the city, find an inn first, don't bother me, I want to have a good rest."

Seeing this, Ji Baizhi put on a pitiful look again, and tugged at the corner of his clothes, "No, no, let's go shopping first, meow!"

"Not negotiable!"

Li Mubai refused without hesitation, along the way, whenever he encountered something novel and interesting, Ji Baizhi would always put on this look to win his sympathy, he was used to it.

In a daze, he somewhat understood Yan Zhaoxue's feelings for him back then.

"Ok?"

Ji Baizhi, who was miserably rejected, raised her little hand again, showing her cute canine teeth. She looked at Li Mubai fiercely, her eyes full of threats.

"Ah."

Li Mubai just let out a chuckle, and stretched out his hand to pat the girl's bamboo hat, "According to what we said earlier, you are my younger sister now, why, how long has it been before you are going to disobey your brother?"

Hearing this, Ji Baizhi's expression froze, she snorted angrily, stomped her feet and stopped talking.

According to the agreement between the two, in order to avoid being exposed along the way, the inexperienced Ji Baizhi had to obey Li Mubai in every aspect. As for her identity, if anyone asked, she would say that she was Li Mubai's distant cousin.

The entry into the city was unexpectedly smooth, and there was no strict questioning, which made the two of them heave a sigh of relief.

Different from the strict guarding of ordinary cities, Donghai County City is relatively loosely guarded. Unidentified monks from all walks of life, people of all religions and ranks, can be met here.

It may be that the city is close to 'Ji' city, and Jixia Academy has always accepted talented people from all over the world, and does not care about the past identities of those who come, so it is so free.

And in the city of Donghai County, there is still the King Qi Mansion, and with King Qi, the Yangzhou Shepherd, sitting in town, no one would dare to do anything wrong here.

"Wen Restaurant, the name is not bad, let's rest here today."

Looking at the chic restaurant in front of him, Li Mubai became interested for a moment, dragged Ji Baizhi and walked into the building, and shouted to the shopkeeper familiarly: "Two guest rooms, and a table of your specialty wine and dishes."

"Why do you want two upper rooms?"

Hearing this, Ji Baizhi was a little puzzled, and looked at Li Mubai without knowing why.

"Men and women don't give and receive."

Li Mubai explained patiently, and he couldn't be perfunctory, lest this curious baby keep asking.

But for the ignorant girl, everything was full of curiosity and interest. She tilted her head and continued to ask: "But we used to live together."

"This"

Hearing this, Li Mubai was a little choked up, his brows were raised, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, the boss is also a good person, the profit of the inn is the top priority, and the two upper rooms become one, wouldn't it be a lot of money lost for nothing?
"It seems that the two are brothers and sisters. For these brothers and sisters, there should be two upper rooms."

The boss enthusiastically explained to Ji Baizhi, and without waiting for the girl to continue asking questions, he slapped the key to the room in the girl's hand, and sipped into the inn: "Little Er! Take two distinguished guests upstairs!"

Li Mubai looked at the boss gratefully, and the boss responded with an expression of "it's okay, I understand", and waved his hand to Li Mubai again.

"This is the feeling of freedom!"

Lying on the soft and comfortable big bed, Li Mubai let out a long and sincere sigh of relief, not only because of the comfort in front of him, but also because his unbearably disturbed ears were finally quiet.

But the comfort didn't last long. After a while, there was another crackling knock on the peaceful door, shouting at the girl's tenderness.

"Stinky cat!"

Li Mubai gritted his teeth angrily, he pretended not to hear, buried his head under the pillow, intending to pretend to be asleep to get away with it.

Unexpectedly, Ji Baizhi would not let her go, the knock on the door became louder and louder, and the surprised downstairs mistress also came up, asking what happened.

Sighing deeply, fearing that there would be a dispute outside the door for no reason, Li Mubai had no choice but to open the door helplessly, dragged Ji Baizhi into the room, and did not forget to respond to Xiao Er's innocent smile.

"What do you want?"

Li Mubai asked angrily.

"I'm hungry, I want to eat, and I want to go out to play!"

Ji Baizhi frowned, and said plausibly: "Other elder brothers will take their younger sisters out to play, but you won't."

???

His elder brother is a normal elder brother, but are you a normal younger sister?
Play and play all day long, endless jumping!

If it wasn't for the fact that Li Mubai's cultivation was only at the fifth level of Qi refining, and the girl was already a foundation, he would have to beat the girl up first, regardless of 21.

"Let's eat first, then let me have a good sleep, and take you out to play at night, okay?"

Seeing that the girl wanted to speak, Li Mubai directly covered her mouth, "Little Ancestor, this is my bottom line, there is no need to discuss it, if you keep nagging, we will break up."

"Humph!"

Ji Baizhi muttered, but she couldn't bother Li Mubai anymore, so she had to follow him downstairs first.

The two sat down in the main hall downstairs, and after a while, the sumptuous dishes ordered earlier were brought to the table by Xiao Er.

Smelling the delicious dishes, Li Mubai's index finger twitched, wanting to have a full meal without opening the chopsticks, but when he turned his head, he saw Ji Baizhi with a blank face. The girl stared at the chopsticks in Li Mubai's hands, a little at a loss.

"Put your index finger and middle finger together, just spread your chopsticks."

While following the instructions, Li Mubai handed a pair of chopsticks to the girl.

So Ji Baizhi began to study, but she always felt a little clumsy, she just couldn't learn it after going back and forth, she used to eat fish directly, how could she use such troublesome things.

It's just that when he entered the city, in order to avoid being out of tune with the people around him, he began to learn the human way of life.

"No, you feed me."

After fiddling for a long time, the impatient Ji Baizhi dropped the chopsticks in her hands, and looked at Li Mubai pitifully.

"impossible!"

Li Mubai quickly waved his hands and looked at her with a look of 'you can't even think about it', such a thing as feeding is too shameful, and the main hall of the restaurant is full of guests, everyone can see what's going on, Ji Baizhi doesn't care, he is still embarrassed.

"Then I'll eat with my hands."

Ji Baizhi pouted and said, then stretched out a small and cute hand, about to reach for the dishes on the table.

"I convince you! Wait!"

Li Mubai whispered angrily. He glanced left and right, but seeing no one was watching, he covered his face with one hand and picked up some vegetables with chopsticks with the other, "Ah."

Hearing this, Ji Baizhi opened her small mouth obediently, like a child who hasn't grown up, she caught the food and started chewing, her mouth was bulging.

It was okay at first, but gradually, the surrounding guests also noticed this scene, and the private laughter spread until it spread to every corner of the first floor.

Ji Baizhi didn't realize it, and ate the food delivered to her mouth contentedly. If this trend continues, the wild cat will become a domestic cat.

And Li Mubai had already given up, he repeated the mechanical movements with a blank face, without covering his face, anyway, something had happened, he basically said goodbye to the word face.

Just when he wanted to quickly end all this, and then go back to the room to take a good rest, a voice that was as clear as a silver bell and sounded like the sound of heaven came over.

"Li Mubai?"

He followed the prestige, and all he could see was a beautiful girl in red.

"Su Mei?"
