Hundred Miles Linked City

  Chen Xiang went to buy lanterns, Lan Ya sat bored, lifted the black veil, and looked at the words written by the girls on the lanterns below. Her eyesight was very good, the small brush characters on the lanterns, under the candlelight, she saw clearly.

  Most of the lanterns were seeking marriage, but Lan Ya smiled wryly, thinking about what she should write on her own lantern. Marriage? She hadn't thought that far ahead. In her past life, she had hoped to live a normal life, and in this life, she still held onto that hope.

  "Miss, look, I've bought a Guanyin lamp for you." Chen Xiang handed the Guanyin lamp to Lan Ya's hands: "Everyone says that Guanyin lamps are the most effective."

  Lan Ya looked at the Guanyin lamp, which was just a lotus seat with two small boys sitting on either side and the wick in the middle. She took up her brush and wrote a line of characters on the lamp paper, then handed it to Chen Xiang, indicating that she should let it go.

  Xiang placed two flower lanterns into the water. The flower lanterns rotated in place for two rounds before slowly drifting away with the ripples, floating off into the distance.

  Lan Ya gazed at the distant flower lanterns, hoping for a peaceful and uneventful life...

  Just as Lan Ya hadn't yet withdrawn her gaze, a white figure suddenly darted into her arms.

  Such a sudden appearance even startled Lan Ya, who was normally calm and collected, and she lowered her head to meet a pair of big, black eyes.

  "You little thing." Lan Ya stretched out her hand and poked Qi Bao's head.

  "Chirp chirp", Qi Bao's plump body twisted and turned, trying to get close to Lan Ya.

  "Miss, what is this thing?" Chen Xiang's eyes widened as he stared at the plump white object.

  "Heh." Lan Ya lifted up Qī Bǎo: "It's just a gluttonous fat cat."

  Seven treasures one listen, claw child struggle regarding fat cat this title and its protest, he called seven treasures, called seven treasures!

  "Hehe, this name is really fitting for you, miss." A gentle voice like a spring breeze came over.

  Lan Ya turned her head, and a white-clad figure burst into her line of sight. The man's handsome face was high on his crown, with thin lips lightly pursed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a pair of gentle eyes with a hint of a smile standing not far from her.

  "It's you." Lan Ya recognized him, this man was the one poisoned in the bamboo forest that day.

  Baili Liancheng slowly walked into the Blue Cliff: "Thank you, miss, for saving my life."

  That voice is warm and clear as water, very comfortable to listen to.

  Lan Ya was slightly stunned. She hadn't seen many men, but she had seen various celebrities on TV before. However, no one had ever given her the same warm feeling as he did.

  "No need to thank me." Lan Ya smiled and nodded, reaching out to pat Qi Bao's head, saying: "You've raised a very loyal partner."

  Baili Liancheng's eyes curved slightly, and his gentle voice carried a hint of amusement: "Just as the young lady said, he is very greedy."

  "Hmph!" Hearing his master say that, the little guy became displeased, waving his fist and making a dissatisfied noise, which caused Lanyah and Hyakurin to have thick smiles on their faces.

  With Baili Liancheng by her side, Lan Ya didn't mind anymore. In the crowded streets, he would considerately help her navigate through the throngs of people, and for this, Lan Ya felt a little grateful in her heart.

  "Does the young lady also want to participate in this year's Royal Trials?" Ba Li Lian Cheng asked nonchalantly.

  "I heard their bonuses are very high." Lanyu said honestly, she was indeed attracted by the high bonuses.

  Baili Liancheng's eyes flashed with a hint of thoughtfulness.

  "People like me, if we don't have some money, won't we end up begging on the streets in the future?" Lanyan saw that he didn't speak, and it seemed as though she had guessed his thoughts, so she continued speaking.
