Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 811 Sister-in-law
After teaching Xuan Xiao a lesson, Gu Chan had an idea and closed the spiritual seal.

Xuan Xiao felt his body lighten instantly, he turned over and got up, standing there panting heavily.

Gu Chan said with a wicked smile, "Remember, you are my slave from now on, so be careful with your words. Otherwise, if you make me unhappy, I will immediately activate the spiritual seal to make you lie down."

"Yes, miss, I get it. I promise to serve you well in the future. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. I will listen to you in everything and make you happy." Xuan Xiao was so scared that he stood up straight and said.

As he said this, he kept rubbing his aching chest with his hands, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Anyway, he had just experienced how painful it was to activate the spiritual energy seal, so how could he dare to be disrespectful to Gu Chan now!
Gu Chan smiled with satisfaction, waved her hand and said, "Let's go, my slave."

"Yes, Miss." Xuan Xiao said respectfully.

After saying that, he hurried forward to lead the donkey for Gu Chan, not daring to make her angry again.

Gu Chan was riding on a donkey, holding a calico cat, and smiling from ear to ear.

After traveling through time for so long, this was the first time she truly experienced how comfortable it was to have a handsome slave serving her.

And that night, Gu Chan was very happy all the way.

Not only could she amuse Xuan Xiao, but she could also experience exotic customs that she had never seen before. This was actually a kind of enjoyment for her.

Early the next morning, the two finally arrived outside Xuanyue City smoothly.

When Gu Chan first came here, her first feeling was surprise.

This is because Xuanyue City is the first barrier city on the northern border of Diyue Kingdom, so the city wall is built very high. From the outside, the entire city wall looks like a tall iron barrel that surrounds the entire city, which is simply amazing.

It was not until then that she understood why the Diyue Kingdom would not station troops in the Gobi Desert on the border of the Luoshui River.

For a city like Xuanyue City, it would be impossible to easily capture it even if there were an army of 200,000, let alone 100,000.

Therefore, Xuan Yue Kingdom can rest assured and withdraw its garrison hundreds of miles here.

Xuan Xiao often traveled between Xuanyue Village and Xuanyue Country, so he was very familiar with the city. As he led the donkey forward, he reminded, "Miss, when you get to the city gate, you must not say that you are from Yexing Country, but that you are from Xuanyue Village. Otherwise, you will not be able to enter."

"Why, this city doesn't allow foreigners to enter?" Gu Chan asked back.

"The main reason is that our Diyue Kingdom suffered a defeat last year, and the city lord is afraid that spies from the Tiancang Kingdom will infiltrate, so he is very wary of people coming from other countries." Xuan Xiao explained.

Gu Chan nodded quietly and kept this in mind.

If this is the case in Xuanyue City, then it is probably the same for all other cities further inland. So she must hide her identity as a foreigner and pretend to be a villager of Xuanyue Village.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan said softly, "Okay then! Just say I'm your sister."

"That's not good! You have to say you are my aunt anyway!" Xuan Xiao said flatteringly.

"Okay! I don't mind if you want to call me aunt, but you look older than me, so whether others believe it or not is a problem." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

"Just say you are older than me." Xuan Xiao said with his hands spread out.

"Ha ha……"

Gu Chan was amused by him and laughed a lot. As they talked, they soon arrived at the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city immediately stepped forward to stop the two men and began routine inspections and interrogations.

When they learned that Gu Chan was Xuan Xiao's aunt, the soldiers who were questioning her couldn't help but stare at Gu Chan and ask, "Little girl, are you really his aunt?"

"Yes! I am older in the family!" Gu Chan said while trying to hold back her laughter.

Xuan Xiao said with an embarrassed look, "General, what she said is true. Although I look older than her, she is actually much older than me. Please be kind and let us enter the city!"

After saying that, Xuan Xiao reached into his sleeve, took out an ingot of silver, and quietly put it into the soldier's hand.

He quickly hid the silver in his sleeve, then let the man go and went on to interrogate the next person.

Xuan Xiao hurriedly led the donkey forward. Gu Chan rode on the donkey and couldn't help laughing.

Xuan Xiao lowered his head in embarrassment, feeling as if he was too embarrassed to face anyone.

He never dreamed that he would be able to meet such a young girl in this life. How embarrassed do you think he is?
An hour later.

The two of them almost walked through the entire main street of Xuanyue City.

Only then did Gu Chan have a new understanding of this city. The common people in this city wore loose robes, and the women wore white hoods on their heads. The atmosphere in the whole city was like the ancient Western Regions in the world where she lived before, with a sense of exoticism.

The most important thing is that the staple food of the people here, apart from steamed buns, is those big round cakes, and there are many rare and exotic fruits, which are not available in any city in Tiancang Kingdom.

After experiencing this unique exotic atmosphere, Gu Chan said to Xuan Xiao, "Okay, stop walking around. We are very tired after walking all night. Now go find a good inn and let's stay there and have a good rest."

"Miss, better inns are not cheap!" Xuan Xiao said, turning around.

"Don't worry, follow me and I won't treat you unfairly. You don't have to pay, I have plenty of money." Gu Chan waved her hand nonchalantly.

Xuan Xiao smiled brightly upon hearing this, nodded in agreement, and then led the donkey quickly to the south of the city.

Soon after, the two of them stopped outside an inn called "Zhaofenglou" in the south.

This inn has a total of five floors. It is very lively with people coming and going. There are also many girls wearing very revealing clothes standing outside the attics on each floor, waving down to solicit customers. All of these girls have half their faces covered with white veils, which gives people a charming feeling of being like a woman holding a lute with her face half covered.

Gu Chan got off the donkey, glared at Xuan Xiao and said, "Why, you brought me to live in a place like this?"

"No, miss. All the inns in Diyue Country are mixed with Qingpu. This Zhaofenglou is already the best inn in the entire Xuanyue City. Are you still not satisfied?" Xuan Xiao said with a look of grievance.

"Oh! So that's how it is." Gu Chan said with relief.

As the saying goes, make the best of it.

Since this is the custom here, she had no choice but to nod and agree, and then go into the inn with Xuan Xiao.

"Hey! Isn't this Brother Xiao? Long time no see. You brought a beautiful girl here again today?"

As soon as the two of them walked in, a waiter in the inn immediately came over with a smile and greeted Xuan Xiao.

Xuan Xiao was startled and quickly glanced at Gu Chan who was standing next to him. Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
