Chapter 1044: Ghost Saint Country 5

her palms were sweating profusely.Feng Lingxi walked out, Xiao Li led her to the residence arranged for her by the county magistrate, and asked all the maidservants attending her to leave. In the room...Seeing Xi'er's condition improving, Dugu City breathed a sigh of relief. All his efforts hadn't been in vain.

"The letter from the poster and co-poster."

Dugu City nodded, the man presented a letter, Dugu City opened it and glanced at it, his brows furrowed slightly. Feng Lingxi curiously looked over, it read: "Host: I miss you very much after not seeing you for several days."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's slightly furrowed brows, a sour taste rising in her heart. This man, right in front of her, was flirting with another woman and even said he missed her dearly after several days apart. No, wait, when had they actually met in these past few days

What does this mean

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, seeing him retract his gaze. She explained, “This is our secret code, meaning we’ve been watched.”

"Being watched, is it someone who has fallen away"

"No need to say it, just let us be careful."

Feng Lingxi looked at the elegant script above, "You guys are communicating in code, aren't you"

"Sometimes I have time, sometimes I don't. Afraid it will fall into someone else's hands, so be more cautious." Dugu City tore the letter to shreds, his eyes cold and piercing.

Feng Lingxi, though curious, didn't ask many questions.

They had never met, so to say such things, could be explained as being watched.

"Ye Xi, Xiao Li, be more careful on the way, don't go too far."

"Yes."

They were still traveling in a carriage, on the official road, which was thankfully easy to navigate. Following the map marked by Tianxiang Building, the group moved quickly.

"My Lord, there's news from Wan'er."

Ye Xi excitedly stepped forward and reported, "Just now, my subordinate went downstairs to get something to eat and inquired with the innkeeper about any news of Wan'er. As a result, my subordinate really found out that five days ago, a man appeared with a girl over a year old. Because the little girl was too noisy, almost everyone in the inn knew about it. My subordinate asked them about their appearances for comparison, and they were very sure that it was Luo Li, Wan'er, and Mo Bing."

"Five days ago"

Dugu City frowned. In just one day, how could they have arrived here five days ago

They were carrying their children, yet they walked faster than them.

"I've asked around, they traveled by carriage. And according to the innkeeper, Wan'er was quite a handful, always causing trouble. It was Luoli who kept her in check."

"Go get the shop clerk."

In a short while, the waiter was brought in. Seeing Dugu City and Feng Lingxi, he felt a little afraid.

"Little Er, there is no need to panic. We only want to ask you something. Just tell us the truth." Dugu City took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table. The waiter looked at them, his eyes timid.

"Sir, what would you like to ask"

Five days ago, was there a man with a little girl, about a year old, who stayed at your inn

"Yes, that little girl cried exceptionally well, bothering all the guests at the inn so much they couldn't stay. And, I was punished by the shopkeeper that day because of it."

The waiter, having said this, unconsciously looked at the two of them.

"Sir, please ask anything you wish, and I shall answer."

"Tell us everything you know."

The second server told them everything he knew. After Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng finished listening, both of them let out a sigh of relief.

"Was that little girl hurt"

"Of course, she wasn't hurt. At first, she was very fierce. The next day when she went out, it was that man carrying her, and she was smiling happily. As for that man, his face was very gloomy, as if he hadn't slept well."

"Do you know which way they went when they left"

"This little one doesn't know."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"You go down first."

The waiter hurriedly thanked him and took the silver downstairs.

It seems Wan'er really hasn't disappointed us.

Dugu Cheng's smile widened at the corner of his lips, looking at Xi'er, "It's Luoli, I'm afraid things haven't been going too smoothly for her."

"Wan'er has truly brought us honor. Now, I think the one who should be suffering is Luo Li, not us."

Feng Ling's smile at the corner of her lips also widened. Her daughter was truly a good one. It seemed that Luoli said to take Wan'er back to Gui Shengguo to pay respects was true. As long as she treated Wan'er well, she and Wan'er were just separated. On this journey, an unmarried man with a little over a year-old girl would have enough to deal with eating, drinking, going to the toilet, and sleeping.

Now you can rest easy.

Feng Lingxi nodded, “He doesn't abuse Wan'er, that’s enough.”

"He's just a child. Luo Li only wants to take her back to atone for his sins, he didn't lie to us. Wan'er will be safe, and the only one who will suffer is Luo Li, not Wan'er."

"It seems she's not easy to handle, which is a good thing. If she were as docile and obedient as other children, she might have been kidnapped."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "Wan'er's temperament must have followed you and me."

"What else She's our daughter, how bad could she be"

Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi's smile, his eyes full of tenderness. He even thought she would say it was because of him.

No matter what, as long as Wan'er is safe, that's all that matters.

"Your Highness, now you can rest assured. Wan'er is so intelligent, she will surely be loved by everyone."

"That girl, Luo Li, is probably incapable of falling in love."

Feng Lingxi suddenly felt a bit sorry for Luo Li. She insisted on taking Wan'er away. Such a young child would have trouble with basic needs like eating, drinking, using the toilet, and even sleeping. Most importantly, this little one was quite mischievous, not everyone could handle it.

As Feng Lingxi had expected, Luoli was staring out the window at the darkening sky. He didn't know how many nights in a row he'd been up. Watching Wan'er bouncing excitedly on the bed, he yawned.

By day, she could eat and sleep in the carriage. He, on the other hand, would only doze briefly before being called upon for something or another, just like her maid, ordered about by her every whim. And if he didn't comply, her cries would begin.

He looked like a human trafficker, attracting attention.

What angered him most was that she could always command him to do things during crowded times, leaving him with no choice but to comply. When there were few people around, like on a carriage ride, she never cried.

Just like now, she can't sleep, tossing and turning in bed. He can't even get close to her. He got a nursemaid for her, but she won't take milk, or eat, not even chicken legs. She wants him to feed her everything, refusing to move a finger.

Arguing with him and commanding him, that's definitely first-class.

If he just said no, threatened her, she would undoubtedly burst into tears.

"Little ancestor, when will you sleep"

It's been a whole day already.

This day is upside down, is this a child's schedule

"Don't doze off."

Wan'er looked at Luoli dozing off, "No sleeping."

"You sleep during the day, and I can't sleep. Can you at least act like a human"

Loli really wanted to beat her up and put her to sleep.

"You're not sleeping."

"Which eye of yours sees that I'm not asleep You sleep so fast, you wake up when I'm asleep to bother me. Then you say you have the right"

"Eat dirt. You jerk."

Waner glared at him with a fierce expression, completely ignoring the anger on Luoli's face, "I want Daddy, I want Mommy."

"No!"

>ut it's nothing."Ye Xi nodded, bathed and changed into the clothes Yao Qing had sent them. The two of them, dressed in these Yaozu garments, did look rather like members of the Yaozu."Master Chen, El...
