The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

Chapter 171 The Little Guy is Cute and Fierce

"Lan Ke has entered the city. You must take her away before the sacrifice." The woman's voice was clear and melodious, but it carried a chilling coldness.

She lowered her head, her gaze calm and still as she looked at Xiao Xian sitting on the ground, as if she were looking at a lifeless object, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Xiao Xian's eyes, which had been slightly closed, suddenly widened. A hoarse, low voice came from his throat, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time. His tone was full of urgency and worry, and his eyes were filled with anxiety. "Who brought her here?"

"Xie Yaochuan".

Xiao Xian leaned against the wall, swaying unsteadily, and managed to stand up. "I understand. I'll take her away as soon as possible."

The woman put her cloak back on, tucking her full head of white hair inside.

Xiao Xian wiped the blood from his mouth, looked up at her, and said, "You..."

"Don't worry, with Lan here, I will never betray my country."

-

Mu Yunchen looked at the clothes Xie Yaochuan was holding with disdain, then turned her head away in disgust, saying, "I don't want them."

As she spoke, she grabbed another set of clothes and ran inside to change.

Xie Yaochuan didn't pay any attention, he just looked at the fabrics in the shop and struck up a conversation with the shop owner with some interest.

"I see this flower everywhere here, is there some kind of significance to it?"

The shop owner looked up at him and chuckled, "Young master, you're not from around here, are you? These flowers don't have any special meaning; they're just pretty."

Xie Yaochuan was about to say something more when he was interrupted by the voice of someone next to him.

"Whose son are you?"

A girl dressed in a bright yellow dress and with her hair adorned with gold hairpins, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, interrupted him without any politeness, staring at him with intense and direct eyes.

Xie Yaochuan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with such close contact, and involuntarily took a step back.

Upon seeing this, the shop owner, who was standing to the side, hurriedly bowed and greeted her, "Miss Mingyin!"

Mingyin ignored the shopkeeper, her gaze quickly sweeping over Xie Yaochuan's almost flawless face, landing on the beauty mark at the corner of his eye, a slight smile curving her lips, "You don't seem to be from around here?"

Faced with the distance closing again, Xie Yaochuan had no choice but to take another step back and remind her, "Miss, isn't this a bit too impolite?"

Mingyin chuckled softly, her tone full of confidence, "If you're willing to come with me, I can guarantee you'll never have to worry about food or clothing again."

After a brief pause, Mingyin seemed to notice something and her gaze fell on the fabric of Xie Yaochuan's clothes, which was obviously very expensive.

She then continued, “If you are not lacking in wealth, I can also grant you power. Any official position in the Yue Kingdom, as long as you make the request, I can help you obtain it.”

At this moment, Mingyin appeared extremely arrogant and proud.

Xie Yaochuan lowered his eyes slightly. He originally thought that Princess Lian'an could only act arrogantly in this area, but it turned out that she could even extend her influence to the imperial court.

Xie Yaochuan ignored the person and instead turned his gaze to Xiao Yuxi, who had just come out wearing local ethnic clothing.

This outfit fits Xiao Yuxi perfectly, as if it were tailor-made for her.

Xiao Yuxi ran excitedly towards this side, originally intending to rush directly into Yaochuan's arms, but suddenly stopped halfway.

She glanced at the older sister in gorgeous clothes first, then turned to look at her brother Yaochuan beside her.

Just now, Xiaoyuxi saw Yaochuan dodge the older sister's outstretched hand. Seeing that the older sister seemed to want to reach out and grab Yaochuan again, she immediately stepped forward.

Xiao Yuxi frowned tightly, opened her small mouth, and pretended to be a ferocious beast seeing an enemy. She stared intently at the older sister, spread her arms, and stood in front of Yao Chuan like a mother beast protecting her cubs.

Perhaps feeling that this wasn't enough to scare the enemy away, Xiao Yuxi then let out a childish roar at the older woman, "Awoo!!!"

This unexpected scene made Xie Yaochuan unable to suppress his laughter. He subconsciously clenched his right fist and pressed it to his lips, trying to hide the uncontrollable smile on his face.

The little guy is cute but fierce.

I don't know where they learned all of that.

Mingyin frowned, looking at the child protecting the man, her face full of disbelief, "You have a child?"

Xie Yaochuan paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

The answer was very vague.

Although they are not his own children, you could say they are children he raised. He has children, so there's nothing wrong with that.

Mingyin glared at him resentfully, then saw a boy of about the same age come out of the changing room. She glared at him and turned away.

Mu Yunchen glanced at the strange person with some confusion.

There are actually common people who dare to wear bright yellow clothes? Aren't they afraid of being beheaded?

Mu Yunchen hesitated for only a moment before uncomfortably pulling at his clothes and walking over.

He always felt that the clothes worn by this ethnic group were strange.

But when he saw that Xi Jie and he were wearing clothes made of the same fabric but different styles, he instantly felt relieved and walked over to Xiao Yu Xi with a smile.

Xie Yaochuan patted his head. "Suitable."

After changing my clothes, I felt no different walking on the street. As I walked towards the central street, it was different from the previous streets; I saw children there.

Although there aren't many, they come in all sizes.

No wonder you can find clothing stores suitable for children up ahead.

Xiao Yuxi walked ahead, holding Mu Yunchen's hand. To keep her from pulling away, Mu Yunchen would occasionally stuff a piece of candy into her mouth.

Sure enough, upon reaching the city center, a magnificent princess's residence was built on the site of the former city lord's mansion.

You can tell from the outer city walls that it cost a lot to build.

A smaller city was built in the center of the main city.

This price is probably going to be ridiculously expensive.

If we're really talking about it, I'm afraid the current national treasury of the Moon Kingdom wouldn't even be enough to build half of the princess's residence.

Near the princess's residence, the area was sparsely populated, with hardly anyone to be seen.

Only the guards, seeing that they were not leaving, stepped forward with their spears and said to them, "No standing in front of the princess's residence is permitted."

Xie Yaochuan remained calm and simply smiled as he asked, "I've heard that there's an altar for the mountain god's sacrifice. Where is it located?"

The guard looked at them suspiciously, his gaze lingering on their clothes. Then he looked at the two masked children, a boy and a girl, and, recalling the people the princess had brought back recently, paused for a moment before including them in that group as well.

“Didn’t I say the other day that the sacrifice is especially important? These locations cannot be mistaken. The altar is over there in the west, see it? That white column tower.”

Xie Yaochuan looked in the direction he pointed and indeed could vaguely see a white mark hidden in a patch of green.
