People are in Xingtie, and I am their dead white moonlight?

The fox merchant's eyes moved back and forth between Ningli and Saran's faces, a look of admiration appearing on his face.

It seemed as if he was admiring Jiang Mo's strength, but it also seemed as if he was admiring the looks of these two new faces.

"It wasn't just one person's effort...these two escaped from the Buli camp on their own and were rescued by the Qingqiu army..."

"Well, then I can't take your money. Please keep it. This time, consider it my greeting gift to the two ladies. Welcome to Yaoqing!"

Faced with the enthusiasm of the fox merchant, Saran and Ningli were stunned at first, and then, feeling the emotions gradually awakening in their hearts, they forced a smile and nodded gently.

Seeing this, Jiang Mo smiled and nodded in agreement, calmly stuffed the patrol arrow into the merchant's pocket, and then pulled the two away without hesitation.

He knew very well that there was no point in arguing with such an enthusiastic vendor, but he didn't have the time to argue with him.

Jiang Mo has more important things to do.

Watching the three people's backs gradually going away, the fox merchant seemed to notice the "difference" between Saran and ordinary foxes at this time.

"That girl with white hair... doesn't seem to have a tail?"

......

Under Jiang Mo's guidance, Saran and Ningli soon arrived at a clothing store on Amber Street.

As a recent celebrity in Yaoqing, Jiang Mo's face is very recognizable. Basically, people talk to him wherever he goes, even in clothing stores.

After learning that Jiang Mo wanted to match new clothes for the two fox ladies in front of him, the clerk who was responsible for receiving them took them into the dazzling array of clothes racks without hesitation.

After a while, a "Great Victory General·Youth Edition" exuding youthful energy appeared in front of Jiang Mo.

A white off-shoulder shirt, a slightly loose white windbreaker, a dark blue pleated skirt and a white belt casually worn across the waist formed a wonderful contrast with Miss Saran's white outfit.

At this moment, she was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of clothes. Her fair cheeks were slightly red, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

"Hmm~ It's quite nice, and it suits Saran's style."

..........

..........

The reconstruction is complete, and I have saved some drafts to ensure that I will not be interrupted when I have something to do:D

I will start making up for the rewards and updates I owed to you tomorrow. In addition, I will recommend a book by a friend.

Chapter 34 "Why are your eyes always on her?" (4.5k)

Hearing Jiang Mo's words, Saran's fair face turned slightly red.

Although she didn't know why, but...when she heard Jiang Mo praising her, the temperature of her cheeks would rise slightly as if she was hurt.

It’s never happened before—never mind, there’s never been a chance for this to happen before.

After all, in that cave filled with despair and fear, everyone was trying their best just to survive, not to mention any praise or encouragement.

Thinking of this, Saran's expression finally calmed down a little, and then he turned his head slightly to look at Ningli who was being led out of the fitting room by another clerk.

If Saran is a lively girl full of youthfulness, then Ningli is a gentle girl next door who is a little weak.

She wore a cyan long-sleeved shirt and a cyan knee-length skirt, and her long black hair fell to her waist like a waterfall, forming a sharp contrast with Sarana's neat high ponytail.

Looking at the two fox girls with different styles in front of him, Jiang Mo nodded with satisfaction.

As expected, professional matters should be left to professionals. If you ask him to pick clothes... it would be a blessing if he is even half as good as he is.

Jiang Mo readily took out his wallet and paid, politely declined the two female employees' request to help him choose a set of casual clothes, and then left the clothing store with the two brand new little fox girls.

Looking at the three young figures gradually disappearing in the crowd, the two receptionists couldn't help but start gossiping about the relationship between the three of them.

One was a rising star among Yao Qing's many cloud riders, and the other two were fox girls who had gone through countless hardships to rescue from Bu Liren's camp, and they were rescued by him personally...

It's hard not to think too much about this kind of relationship.

"Hey, you say...are those two fox girls with Jiang Zhiqi..."

"I think there's a high probability that he will. Didn't you see the way those two girls looked at him just now? Admiration, curiosity, and even a little bit of admiration. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, he's worthy of being an excellent Cloud Rider. He's so popular..."

"Then who do you think he will choose in the end? I think it's the girl with white hair. She has a really great figure!"

"I don't think so. That girl doesn't have a tail, she was born with a defect... If we look at it from a normal perspective, we should choose the weaker girl, right?"

"That's true... Oh, what a pity, such a beautiful girl..."

......

The beautiful Saran and Ningli are already a moving focus when walking on the street, not to mention after they are professionally dressed up.

Feeling the curious or astonished gazes around them, Saran and Ningli were a little uncomfortable at first, but when more and more new things appeared before their eyes, that feeling of discomfort was instantly replaced by "curiosity".

"A flying...mechanical bird?"

"That's a 'Mechanical Bird,' used to help residents transport goods."

"What's that big thing over there? It seems to... glow?"

"He's a Jin man. Most of the time he stays at the Industrial Manufacturing Department helping with manufacturing things. But today, it seems he was asked to help with road repairs."

Hearing Jiang Mo's words, Saran and Ningli's expressions froze at the same time, as if they had thought of some horrific scene through Jiang Mo's words.

In the Buli people's camp, foxmen are their slaves. The beasts ask foxmen to forge weapons and armor for them, but they are afraid that they will learn the skills and use them to retaliate against them, so...

They choose to dig out the eyes of foxmen craftsmen regularly and replace them with a new batch of people. The eyes of the foxmen who are imbued with the power of abundance will also grow back in endless darkness and pain.

When their eyes grow back, they will repeat the previous path: work - dig out eyes - recover - work.

This experience has made them think of this place whenever they hear the word "manufacturing".

Looking at the two little fox girls with stiff expressions in front of him, Jiang Mo sighed slightly, then raised his hand and gently rubbed the two small fox ears, one black and one white.

"Woo!"

"The Engineering Department is one of the 'Six Departments and Six Imperial Guards' of the Immortal Boat. Such bloody and crazy situations wouldn't occur there."

Seeing that their emotions gradually returned to normal, Jiang Mo slowly put down his hand, and explained softly with a relaxed expression:

"This is the immortal ship 'Yao Qing', not the Buli people's camp. Every fox person will be treated with respect until their three hundred years of life are up, when they turn to dust and dissipate into the human world."

"You two, you are no longer slaves living in caves, but are now foxmen who have joined the Yaoqing Immortal Boat. There is no need to look back on the dark ages."

After hearing Jiang Mo's words, Saran and Ningli fell into silence. Although the sudden contact just now made their pretty faces slightly red, but... the sudden intimate contact also pulled them out of the past.

Seeing that the two people's emotions gradually returned to normal, Jiang Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he said softly:

"As I recall... Saran wanted to join the Qingqiu Army and personally kill Bu Liren, right? And Ningli wanted to become a pilot, soaring through the sky while fighting..."

"In that case, I'll take you to see the fox-people's traditional culture, the 'Pingrong Opera.' Perhaps it will give you some... different feelings."

Before the two of them agreed, Jiang Mo grabbed their wrists as before and pulled them towards the other direction of Amber Street.

And on the top of a business building not far away, a skilled bird that had been there since who knows when tilted its head slightly to ensure that its eyes were always locked on Jiang Mo.

At the same time, in General Yonglie's mansion, Yue Yu looked at the scene unfolding on the holographic screen in front of him, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems this guy is quite good at guiding people to familiarize themselves with the environment. There's no need to worry about these two girls not being able to adapt..."

"As for the Qingqiu Army and the pilots... let's wait until they've adapted and start training them."

After saying that, Yue Yu lowered his head slightly and continued to correct the documents in his hand.

......

Under Jiang Mo's leadership, Saran and Ningli quickly arrived at the other end of Amber Street.

Compared with the other side of the street where there is a stall every two steps and a shop every three steps, the layout here can be said to be quite simple.

There are two small stalls on the outside, one is a sugar painting stall run by an old fox man, and the other is a temporary teahouse selling tea.

In the middle of the two stalls was an auditorium made up of wooden chairs and a stage that was almost as wide as Amber Street.

There are usually not many people here, but today it is crowded, perhaps because of the Pingrong Opera performance.

Looking at the cinnabar-colored curtain and the cloud-patterned drum in the corner of the stage, Saran's eyes flashed with a strange light, as if he was curious about what kind of drama could be performed here.

"Here, take this."

Just as she was carefully observing the stage display, Jiang Mo's voice suddenly came from her ears. She subconsciously turned around and found that what appeared in front of her was not that handsome face, but a sugar painting - an amber fox man sugar painting.

"Give it a try, maybe it tastes better than Qiongshi Bird Skewers."

Hearing this, Saran nodded slightly, then took the sugar painting from Jiang Mo's hand and licked it gently, imitating the children around her.

Almost at the moment her pink little tongue touched the amber sugar painting, a hint of sweetness spread along the tip of her tongue into her mouth, turning into a sweet stream that moistened the girl's heart.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Saran nodded slightly, and then continued to treat the food in front of him very seriously.

Ningli couldn't wait to try it upon seeing this. Perhaps it was because she liked sweets more than Saran. When the sweet taste reached her tongue... this cute and weak girl narrowed her eyes, as if she particularly liked the taste.

Looking at the two little fox girls who were "captured" by the sugar paintings, Jiang Mo chuckled and shook his head, then took out his handkerchief and gently wiped off the sugar stains on Saran's face.

Saran widened her eyes slightly upon seeing this, and a blush flashed across her fair face, but she did not resist at all.

For her, Jiang Mo is the source of her sense of security. His existence can also help her resist nightmares. It seems that there is nothing wrong with her being a little intimate with him.

Ningli looked at the sugar painting in her hand, then looked at the two people who were in intimate contact, and a strange emotion flashed through her heart.

"Why... does Jiang Mo always notice Saran first?"

The next second, a soft touch climbed up her cheek, replaced by Jiang Mo's scolding voice as if he was talking to a child.

"No matter how much you like to eat, you can't get food all over your face... Pay attention to your appearance, Miss Ningli."

thump—

Before Ningli could respond to Jiang Mo's words in time, the cloud-patterned drum on the stage suddenly started beating, and the tight and intense drumbeats rang out on the stage.

Hearing the drumbeat, Saran and Ningli's pupils suddenly constricted. The intense drumbeat before their eyes gradually overlapped with a certain sound in their memory. That was the drumbeat that the Buli people beat when they started to select war slaves.

The Buli people and the fox people originally came from the same planet, but under the blessing of the "Abundant" pharmacist... the original same kind of people split into two groups. The cultures of the two races have some similarities.

Fine beads of cold sweat secreted from the foreheads of the two men, as if they were back on the plain with swaying flames and howling wolves.

But soon, the illusory scene was cut by a sword, and what followed was the words Jiang Mo said earlier on Amber Street:

"Now that you are in Yaoqing, you are fox people who have joined the Immortal Boat, not slaves of the Buli people."

As soon as he finished speaking, the illusions from the depths of his memory suddenly disappeared, replaced by the old fox man waving a flower spear and singing opera lines on the stage.

In just a moment of distraction, this drama of pacifying the Rong people had skipped most of the process and reached its end.

The old fox man wearing light armor of the Cloud Cavalry on the stage seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly put the spear in his hand behind his back and began to walk quickly on the stage. The sound of the piano and drums also became faster and faster at this moment.

"Don't say your blood is still cold on your battlefield, just wait and see the new snow covering the old sword!"

"It's easy to shake a mountain, but it's hard to shake Yao Qing——"

"Eternal Green!"

As the three powerful words fell in the tail end of the fox old man's opera singing, the musician suddenly stood up, the drummer also stopped his drumstick, and they and the old man on the stage turned to where Jiang Mo was sitting and bowed deeply.

"...?"

Jiang Mo blinked in confusion, not sure what was going on for a moment.

The other audience members also noticed Jiang Mo sitting in the audience - as mentioned earlier, because of the battle reports of the Qingqiu Army, his face was a household name in Yaoqing.

"It's Jiang Zhiqi! He's here to listen to Pingrong Opera today too?!"

"I am the new snow in 'New Snow Covers Old Front', so why can't I listen?"

"I heard from a childhood friend of mine in the Qingqiu Army that during this expedition, Jiang Zhiqi killed at least twenty Buli Werewolves and saved at least five Cloud Riders from ambush!"

"Is this the main point? Isn't the main point that he rescued four fox slaves from the Bu Li people? No one survived before!"

"Hey, hey, hey, look at those two unfamiliar faces next to Jiang Zhiqi. They must be two of the four people he rescued, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention instantly shifted from Jiang Mo to Saran and Ning Li.

Yaoqing's people were simple and honest, and these fox people showed no ill will towards the two of them. Instead, they smiled in a friendly manner, admiring Jiang Mo's bravery and the two men's faces, until...

"That lady seems to have... no tail?"

Although the voice was low, the foxes with keen hearing could hear it with just a little attention.
