Chapter 848: Chapter 414: Jiang Yi Came Again

Approximately a two-hour later, Jiang Wan finally walked out of the room.

The woman’s face couldn’t hide the heavy fatigue, with a noticeable tiredness in her eyes and brows.

"All settled?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked softly.

Jiang Wan slightly moved her mouth, barely squeezing out a smile, nodded, "Let’s set off for the Ghost City now."

Her gaze then drifted toward Little Jiangyi, who was playing and laughing with the dog, hesitated a bit, and asked, "Should she stay here or come along?"

Jiang Shouzhong was about to respond when Little Jiangyi quickly leaped over like a nimble little monkey, hugging the man’s arm tightly.

The young girl opened her almond-shaped eyes wide, with a hint of stubbornness and hostility, glaring straight at Jiang Wan: "I want to follow daddy; I don’t want daddy to be with you."

Looking at the little girl in his arms, Jiang Shouzhong thought for a moment, considering the protective spirits around him, the dog demon and the cow demon, it didn’t seem too risky to bring her along.

"Then bring her along," Jiang Shouzhong said.

"Clingy little dog."

Jiang Wan chuckled lightly, and before the other party could react, she pointed at the little dog in her arms, saying, "I’m talking about it."

Little Jiangyi’s face flushed red with anger.

After the three had breakfast, they began their journey.

Stepping out of the inn’s door, Jiang Wan raised her slender wrist, looking at a faint mark on it, then furrowed her brows lightly, saying to Jiang Shouzhong, "The journey seems a bit long, why don’t you find a carriage for us?"

"Big sis, where would you find a carriage in this place?"

Jiang Shouzhong replied irritably, "You can’t even see one on the street."

Jiang Wan pouted slightly, showing a bit of a spoiled temperament: "I don’t care, I just don’t want to walk."

Jiang Shouzhong, helpless to his unpredictable "mother-in-law," searched for a secluded spot to summon the Cow Demon, saying: "Riding a cow is fine, right?"

"No way, Niuniu is mine, only I can ride!"

Little Jiangyi quickly leaped onto the cow’s back, tightly hugging the cow’s neck, afraid someone might take her cow away.

Jiang Wan was amused by her childish action.

Jiang Wan gracefully leapt, landing firmly behind Little Jiangyi, hugging her slender waist, and said with a playful smile, "Young lady, don’t be too bossy, or your little behind might be in danger and get spanked someday."

Little Jiangyi initially wanted to retaliate, but was startled by Jiang Wan’s words, hurriedly shifted forward, almost slipping off the cow’s back.

The young girl quickly turned her head, and her watery eyes were full of grievance, looking at Jiang Shouzhong: "Daddy, she’s bullying me."

Jiang Shouzhong thought inwardly, she bullies you, what can I do?

Jiang Shouzhong pointed at the little dog in her arms: "If you’re upset, take it out on this."

The dog demon was cheerfully wagging its tail, but upon hearing this, it froze, with countless question marks popping up in its mind.

"Bad dad!"

Little Jiangyi pouted angrily, turned her head to the side, ignoring him.

At this moment, Jiang Wan’s eyes suddenly lit up; she pointed to a candy vendor at the street corner, bent her knee, and kicked Jiang Shouzhong gently with her delicately embroidered shoe.

The meaning was clear: Go and buy me some.

Jiang Shouzhong frowned and said: "Eat less, big sis."

Jiang Wan’s slender eyes narrowed slightly, with a bright smile at the corners of her eyes: "Make me happy, and I might say nice things about you to Qingchen, got it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shouzhong quickly ran towards the candy vendor.

"Bad person."

Little Jiangyi saw her dad accommodating a maid like this, feeling unhappy, and muttered quietly.

It was unclear whether the bad person meant Jiang Shouzhong or Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan opened her smiling lips and said with a voice as pleasant as a lark: "Little Yi, you mustn’t become a bad person, got it?"

"Hmph!"

Little Jiangyi, full of discontent, shook her head forcefully, only showing Jiang Wan the back of her head.

Jiang Shouzhong learned from Jiang Wan’s actions the day before, and bought a stick full of sugar-coated haws.

"Thank you."

Jiang Wan took one and handed it to Little Jiangyi.

A flicker of surprise flashed in Little Jiangyi’s round eyes. Then, as if offended, she puffed up her pink cheeks and said angrily: "I won’t eat it!"

"Really not eating?"

Jiang Wan tilted her head slightly, her eyes carrying a hint of teasing.

"Not eating."

Little Jiangyi raised her chin slightly, showing stubbornness.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan gently parted her red lips, and her small tongue slowly licked the sugar syrup with a sound of enjoyment: "Oh, it’s so sweet."

Little Jiangyi’s throat moved slightly, swallowing her saliva, softly biting her lower lip.

"Really not eating?"

Jiang Wan once again offered the sugar-coated haw to her.

"..."

Little Jiangyi remained silent.

Just as Jiang Wan was about to withdraw her hand, Little Jiangyi suddenly opened her mouth and quickly bit the sugar-coated haw.

Then, the young girl stretched out her hand and snatched the sugar-coated haw, muttering, "Daddy bought it; why shouldn’t I eat it."

Jiang Wan smiled, her eyes filled with affection.

After the little commotion, the three officially set off.

Jiang Wan and Little Jiangyi rode on the cow, while Jiang Shouzhong carried the sugar-coated haws like a bodyguard, following alongside. The scene was somewhat harmonious.

Not long after, the three arrived at an abandoned graveyard.

To be precise, it was a Chaotic Tomb Mound.

The place was overgrown with wild grass, and the gravestones were crooked; some had already broken, others had been eroded by moss.

"Is the Ghost City here?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked suspiciously, his eyes full of doubts.
