Chapter 442: Chapter 397 Your Mother is Pregnant Again_2

Si Snake said, "Chen Long told me."

Chen Long replied, "My sister told me."

Lu Yuan’s gaze was as sharp as knives.

Meng Qianqian shuddered and said, "Brother, why are you throwing me under the bus again..."

Chen Long said to Meng Qianqian, "I’ve heard Liang Country is full of handsome men. Once we’re there, I’ll find you a husband who won’t bully you."

Meng Qianqian was on the verge of tears.

Brother, please stop! This is going to kill me! If you keep talking, these three little guys will fight so much that we’ll end up having four children!!!

"Husband, my devotion to you is as high as the heavens, as deep as the oceans, witnessed by the heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon, unshaken by collapsing mountains, evaporating seas, or passing time. I wouldn’t even glance at another man!"

Lu Yuan let out a cold grunt.

Chen Long: "Impressive."

Lu Yuan said to Si Snake, "When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten out. We’ll figure things out once we’re in Liang Country."

Si Snake nodded, "Good idea."

Lu Yuan glanced sideways at him.

He appreciated Si Snake.

Calm, and never one to kill the mood.

Once they left Witch Mountain, a hundred miles to the east brought them into the Southwest region.

"My home is nearby. Let’s stop by and take a break,"

Yu Zichuan suggested.

The group, without resistance, cheerfully agreed.

However, they found that the Yu family mansion was deserted.

Yu Zichuan stood in the empty courtyard, not even a single chicken feather left behind, and muttered, "Could it be... my family has been wiped out too?"

Lu Yuan took a stroll around the courtyard and said to Yu Zichuan, "Good news, your family only moved away. Bad news, they forgot to tell you."

The utterly forgotten Yu Zichuan: "..."

Chen Long patted Yu Zichuan on the shoulder, "Don’t be too upset; maybe it wasn’t just forgetfulness. Maybe they did it on purpose."

Yu Zichuan became even more depressed.

The group continued their journey, heading for the former Yue City, now the Imperial City of the Liang Country.

Along the way, they gathered information about Emperor Liang and learned that the old King Qin had already passed away, and now it was his son who declared himself emperor in the Southwest.

"Did the letter say what to do if he’s already dead?"

Meng Qianqian asked Lu Yuan.

They stopped at a tea stall to order a few pots of tea and feed their horses as well.

Lu Yuan replied, "If the old King Qin is no longer alive, we’re to go to his grave, light a stick of incense for him, and, while we’re at it, return the Peace Lock to his descendants."

Ji Li clicked his tongue, "All this hassle over a Peace Lock. It’s not even made of gold."

Meng Qianqian pondered, "The Peace Lock must have some special meaning for the old King Qin."

"It’s so hot."

Ji Li showed no interest in matters about the old King Qin. The only reason he came along was for the spectacle.

Meng Qianqian noticed Shang Wuyou’s pale face and immediately asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Shang Wuyou endured and said, "It’s nothing."

Ji Li turned to Shang Wuyou, "Whoa, your face is ghastly pale, your brow is dark—trouble or misfortune, guaranteed!"

Chen Long: "Say a little less."

Just as he finished speaking, Shang Wuyou’s stool suddenly gave way with a loud crack, sending him to the ground, curling up in pain.

Ji Li’s eyes widened, "What did I just say?"

"Wuyou!"

Meng Qianqian hurried over.

Chen Long helped Shang Wuyou up and said to Meng Qianqian, "He’s burning up."

Meng Qianqian saw him clutching his stomach tightly, reached out, and pressed on his abdomen, "Is it here that hurts?"

Shang Wuyou broke out in a cold sweat and nodded.

Meng Qianqian took his pulse, "You ate something bad."

Fortunately, it wasn’t a serious illness or poison.

The group collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Qianqian had brought medicine with her, all made from ingredients sourced from Witch Mountain. The effects were several times stronger than ordinary medicine pills.

Meng Qianqian gave Shang Wuyou one pill to take.

Not even half a quarter of an hour later, Shang Wuyou’s expression turned awkward, "Uh, where’s the latrine?"

Chen Long accompanied him to the latrine.

Ji Li shook his folding fan, "An adult needing someone to go with him to the latrine, tsk."

Meng Qianqian said, "We don’t know how extensive Thousand Mechanism Pavilion’s influence is in the Southwest. Better safe than sorry. It’s always better to be cautious."

"Braised pork... braised pork... braised pork..."

Tan’er hadn’t had braised pork since they left Witch Mountain. Yu Zichuan claimed his family’s braised pork was delicious, and Tan’er thought he’d get to eat some once they reached the Southwest. But Yu Zichuan’s house was gone!

"Braised pork, oh my braised pork!"

Tan’er was so desperate for braised pork he was almost in tears.

Shortly after, Si Snake, who had gone to gather information, returned.

"Snake, sit!"

Ji Li offered up the seat next to him on his own initiative.

A seat that even Chen Long and Lu Yuan wouldn’t sit in, only Si Snake sat down without killing the vibe and with a calm expression.

He said, "The intel from Luo Shan was incorrect. The grand wedding isn’t for the Crown Prince; it’s for his son."

Ji Li suddenly understood, "So he mistook the Crown Prince Mansion’s grand wedding as the Crown Prince’s wedding. No matter, it’s got nothing to do with us anyway. The Emperor of Liang isn’t related to us."

Lu Yuan glanced at Si Snake, "Something fishy?"

Si Snake replied, "Not sure if it counts as fishy. This Crown Prince was once the least favored of Emperor Liang’s sons."
