Chapter 2224: Itchy Hands
“Yes, just look, there are more men coming into the city. The girl in front is from our Huang Jia Village and is the only family with a foreign surname. There is only a grandma and a younger sister in the family. Her younger sister fell into the stream yesterday but fortunately she was rescued. However, she is still unconscious so this morning she carried her to look for a doctor in the city. Who knew this would happen!”
“They don’t even have a man in their family, when they encounter situations like this, they can only suffer the humiliation in silence. What else can they do otherwise? Us unimportant commoners can’t afford to provoke people like them.”
After she had heard the conversation of the people in low voices in front of them, Feng Jiu glanced at Duan Ye next to her and said: “Are you not going up to help?”
Duan Ye glanced at her and said: “I’m not a nosey person by nature.” As soon as he had said that, he asked: “You want to stick your nose in this?”
Feng Jiu couldn’t help but smile when she heard this. She stretched out her hands and squeezed his baby face: “Xiao Ye Ye, listen to your tone. You make me sound like I am a busybody. However, you got it right, I like to be a busybody.”
“Why are you pinching my face again?”
Duan Ye stared at her in embarrassment. It didn’t matter so much in the past, but why did she still enjoy pinching his face when he was not paying attention? Was his baby face a magnet for him to be bullied?
“Ah, my hands are itchy!” She chuckled lightly and stepped forward.
Dressed in red, coupled with her beauty and unparalleled disposition, whether it was a commoner or cultivator, everyone who was queuing up to enter the city gate stepped aside and made way for her.
Upon seeing this, Duan Ye followed her. He disliked people saying that he had a baby face, and he disliked people touching his face even more. However, Feng Jiu was an exception. In his eyes, although she was not his relative, she was even closer than his relative. Naturally, it was impossible to be angry with her. It’s just that, he was a man after all, so it was awkward for him to be teased by her like that.
At the front, the girl was begging the city gate guard in a low voice to let her enter the city. At this point in time, Feng Jiu had already walked to the front, and her appearance had the city gate guards dumbfounded.
“Fairy, is fairy going into the city too?” The Captain of the city gate guards squeezed forward and came to Feng Jiu. He looked at her with surprised and fawning eyes as he asked.
Such a beautiful woman with extraordinary disposition was definitely not an ordinary person. She must be either from a noble family or a fairy from a Sect. Naturally, guards like them didn’t dare to offend someone like them.
Feng Jiu stopped and glanced at the girl. Then she said to the Captain of the city gate guards: “The young girl carrying the child has been delayed here for long enough. They are just commoners, why aren’t you letting them in?”
“Yes, yes, since the fairy has spoken, your lowly one daren’t refuse.” The Captain of the city guards responded quickly and said to the girl on the side: “Go in quickly.”
When the girl carrying the child saw this, she said to Feng Jiu gratefully: “Thank you fairy, thank you fairy.” Then she hurried into the city carrying her younger sister on her back.
Seeing that the girl had entered the city, Feng Jiu glanced at the Captain of the city guards and said: “This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of city guard who guards the city. Does your City Lord approve of your profiting at other people’s expense actions?”
Upon hearing this, the Captain of the city guards paled and cried out in his heart silently: Oh no!
He glanced cautiously at the girl dressed in red in front of him and smiled wryly…
