Becoming wealthy by raising furry animals

Chapter 33: Taking Back Xiaobao’s Custody (1)

"Sister, actually... I don't belong here..."

Li Yiyi felt a little confused when she heard Ban You's words.

Ban You sighed and held her hand. After a long moment of contemplation, he spoke again, "When I opened my eyes, I found myself in Lishui Town, which is completely different from where I used to live."

"That place had tall buildings, and people traveled by train and plane instead of carriage. In that era, men and women were equal, and monogamous was the norm. Women were also free, without these rules and constraints..."

Ban You talked about a lot of modern knowledge and facilities, and Li Yiyi became more and more fascinated as she listened, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time after Ban You finished speaking.

"So, you're saying these little guys followed you here for no apparent reason?"

Ban You nodded.

She didn't tell Li Yiyi about the existence of the system, after all, that part was more difficult for Li Yiyi to explain. So she just briefly talked about some modern events and the origins of the little guys.

"So... sister, will you go back?"

Ban You shook his head and then nodded: "I want to go back. In that world, I have my home and my dog. I don't know many things about this era, but I have you in this world, so..."

Li Yiyi patted her hands and said soothingly: "Sister, since you don't know, then don't think about it for now."

"However, I just learned that you had such an experience. This is amazing."

"Sister, I hope you don't find me scary. I'm just afraid... that you'll be afraid of me..."

Li Yiyi smiled and shook his head: "How could that be? Don't you know that since I had you, even without that butcher shop, my life is still prosperous."

"After divorcing Zheng Laocai, life on my own has been so comfortable. It's all thanks to you for giving me advice and helping me find a solution. I was able to make up my mind to divorce Zheng Laocai so quickly."

"Sister, as long as you are happy."

The two chatted for a while.

Tuan Tuan is a clingy kid. He has been following Ban You like a little follower since last night.

At this moment, Banyou and the others were chatting, and it moved its little butt to lie in Banyou's arms, arched out a comfortable position, closed its eyes, and fell asleep.

"Oh, sister, I have to go out for something today, so I'll have to trouble you to look after the shop. If any customers want to see me, please ask them to come back after noon. I should be back soon by then."

"Okay, sister, you can go ahead and do your work. I'll be there for you in the shop."

After Ban You handed Tuantuan to Li Yiyi, he went back to the house to pack up and then left.

She hurried through the alley and came to Zuixianlou.

Behind her, there were two people following her. When they saw her enter Zuixianlou, they left quickly.

"Miss Ban, what do you want to eat today?"

As soon as Liu Xian entered the hall from the backyard, he saw Ban You walking in. He hurriedly walked up and asked.

"Shopkeeper Liu, I came here today to ask if Mr. Zhou is here?"

"Miss Ban, what a coincidence! My master has returned to the capital these days, and it's not certain when he will be back."

Ban You nodded in understanding and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Manager Liu. I'll be leaving now."

After Ban You left, Liu Xian went up to the third floor and knocked on the door. After hearing the sound of "come in", Liu Xian pushed the door open and went in.

In the room, Duoqiao stood beside Zhou Heng, while Zhou Heng stood by the window holding a feather fan.

"Master, Miss Ban has left."

Zhou Heng stood by the window and watched the people coming and going on the street, but his eyes were always fixed in one direction.

"Well, let's get started over there as soon as possible. Shangjing has become increasingly unstable recently. We need to speed up our pace."

"Master, why don't you ask Miss Ban to send the Sky Fox back? That way it will be much more convenient for us."

Zhou Heng remained silent for a long moment before he turned his gaze towards Liu Xian. "Keep all information about Tianhu secrets secret. Protect Ban You. If anything happens to Tianhu or her, you will be beheaded!"

"Yes!"

Liu Xian went down quickly.

"Eaves!"

As Zhou Heng finished speaking, a black figure fell from the beam and knelt on one knee in front of Zhou Heng.

"Go to You'an Hall and protect Ban You. Don't let anything happen to her. Remember, try to avoid her attack. If you can't avoid her, bring her to me after she attacks you."

"Yes."

Duo Shao stood aside, looking at Zhou Heng with some doubt, but did not dare to ask.

"Just say what you want to say. It's not like you to be hesitant."

"Master, we've been preparing for so long just to take the Sky Fox to Peach Blossom Mountain. Now everything is ready, but you've left the Sky Fox with Miss Ban and lied to her that you weren't in Cloud City. Why is that?"

"Why do you think Zhou Sui came here?"

"Your Highness Prince Ning?" Duoshao pondered the connection between the two, and suddenly something flashed through his mind. "Master, Prince Ning is also here to look for Tianhu?"

Zhou Heng shook his head. "No, he's not here to look for the Sky Fox. He doesn't even know it exists. But the longer Ban You and I interact, the faster he'll find it. And thus, he'll get the things on Peach Blossom Mountain before I do."

"I understand. That's why you avoided Miss Ban." Duoshao said, muttering softly, "Then there's no need to ask Feiyan to protect Miss Ban."

"Hiss, what do you know? Banyou is much more useful than Tianhu. I'm just preparing for a rainy day. If you don't understand, don't tell me."

Duoshao curled his lips and said, "Master, I think you are just worried that Miss Ban will be in danger, and that Prince Ning's men will hurt her. Otherwise, why would you send Feiyan, the most skilled secret guard beside you?"

When Zhou Heng heard this, he knocked on Tuosha's head with his fan.

"Chatty."

Duoshao rubbed his head and said nothing more.

"Go and check why Ban You came here today."

Duoshao rubbed his head and muttered: "You said you didn't care about the girl in the class and couldn't appear in front of her, but you also have to care about what she wants to do when she comes here."

"Hiss, hurry up!" Zhou Heng said as he kicked the sheath.

Duoshao quickly said "yes" and left, covering his butt.

Zhou Heng looked at the clear hot tea and whispered, "I hope you'll be okay."

On the other side, when Ban You just came out of Zuixianlou, she felt that someone was looking at her, but when she turned around, she saw nothing.

Now she was walking towards You'an Hall listlessly.

She had originally wanted to try to resolve Xiaobao's issue through Zhou Heng, after all, she could see that she was useful to Zhou Heng. But now that Zhou Heng was gone, this approach was no longer feasible.

Inside You'an Hall, there was a long queue of customers waiting for Ban You. As soon as Ban You showed up, he was surrounded by those customers.

She quickly calmed down and solved the customers' problems, but she found that Li Yiyi was nowhere to be found. Later, she asked the shop assistants and found out that after Cuicui came to find Li Yiyi, she didn't know what they said, and Li Yiyi left in a hurry.

After hearing this, Ban You felt that this matter must be related to Xiaobao. He gave his servants a few instructions and hurried to Li's house.

As soon as I arrived at Li's house, I saw that the door was open. There were some people gathered at the door, and I could hear the crying of a child and Li Yiyi's shouting from inside.
