Chapter 152: Chapter 106: The Hidden Second Young Master

It’s said that even a big blockhead like a whistle can muster a few words of sweet talk, almost resulting in Changtian nearly stealing her first kiss yesterday. How come not even the slightest flattery is being offered?

Ah, that soulless jerk! Just thinking about this, her mood instantly got a lot worse!

The City Lord Mansion isn’t far from the commercial district, and it’s also a bustling place right at the entrance, with a majestic scale that’s especially easy to recognize. Masquerading as Tan Qinghe’s pretty face, Ning Xiaoxian smoothly passed the guards at the entrance.

The previous owner of the City Lord Mansion built the vast residence grandly and lavishly, with paths meandering in every direction. Being directionally challenged, she was basically incapable of finding her way, and even Sister Tan couldn’t help but draw a map for her. Now, the reason she could walk towards the small kitchen so composedly and calmly, instead of waving the map around, was solely because the memory of the Qiongqi in the Alchemy Furnace was evidently quite good, acting as a GPS with vocal directions from inside the God Demon Prison.

This was a task thrown to it by Changtian. Since he spoke a few words in the Tan Mansion, he fell silent again. Ning Xiaoxian felt annoyed in her heart: the one who almost got kissed was her, okay? Why does it seem like he’s the one filled with grievances and awkwardness?

Upon entering the small kitchen, the cooks were busily toiling away as if the sky and earth were dimming, and upon seeing her, they started to grumble: "Xu Family girl, why have you just arrived? You’re half an hour later than usual; you must have nearly starved the Second Young Master to death!"

She secretly criticized in her mind, afraid that the Second Young Master would go hungry, then they should deliver the meal themselves, why so eagerly await her? Still, she put on a standard Tan Qinghe-style smile on her face, waiting for the small kitchen to put today’s meals into the food box.

However, these servants just complained a bit, and didn’t say much more. It seems that the position of the Second Young Master in the City Lord Mansion isn’t that high, otherwise, by now, some fawning lackey would have come out to give her a hard time.

Although she didn’t say much, looking at the food brought out by the cooks, she secretly furrowed her brow. As far as she knew, according to the habits of the nearby states and counties, the young masters and mistresses of big households would typically have a standard of three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and one dessert for lunch brought to their rooms, and among these "three meats" often included a fish, with some even demanding more vegetarian options. However, the food served to the Second Young Master was four meats and one vegetable dish, and all four meats were standard meat dishes, both red and white meat. Her sense of smell was extremely sensitive, and she could also tell that the only vegetable dish was stir-fried with lard.

According to Tan Qinghe, the Second Young Master of the City Lord Mansion usually never left the house. Why would such a person, who doesn’t move much, need so much meat? Especially when she saw the last item the cook brought out, she literally jumped in surprise. Such a thing would be well-known on Earth, but here it was her first time seeing it.

This thing was milk.

She had always assumed that in this world, milk would only appear amongst nomadic tribes thriving on the great grasslands. Because she guessed that, like over one-third of Huaxia people, many people in the Nan Zhanbu Continent might be lactose intolerant, drinking milk on an empty stomach could easily cause bloating and upset the stomach.

Seeing the milk, she felt her previous assumptions were not very reliable. This thing obviously hadn’t become widespread in Feng Province, and Rock City itself being a Mountain City, getting milk was not that easy. If the Second Young Master could enjoy milk, it indicated that he still held a place in the heart of the City Lord himself.

As she thought about this, she walked towards the residence of the Second Young Master, with Qiongqi guiding her, she wasn’t afraid of getting lost. As she continued, there were fewer and fewer people on the path, which became more secluded and quiet, with a nice scenery, yet it was located in a remote place. Half an hour later, she finally arrived at her destination, a small courtyard with lush and scattered greenery.

She lightly knocked on the black door, just three times as per Tan Qinghe’s habit - neither more nor less. A young man’s voice came from inside: "Come in." His voice was calm, but to her ears, it sounded somewhat familiar.

Perhaps since visitors were rare, the courtyard door was not locked, and she gently pushed it open to enter. From the door to the small building in front, there was only a distance of about ten meters, where there were small hills, ponds, and several clusters of unknown but thriving plants. A gentle breeze arrived, bringing with it a faint fragrance of flowers, exuding tranquility.

"Hmm?!" Changtian, cooped up in the God Demon Prison, uttered a light sound of surprise, "It’s really a Small Four Symbols Array. Although it’s simplified, it’s more than enough to block several Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage." After a careful observation, he added with zest, "There’s even a Concealing Breath Array set up inside it!"
