Chapter Forty-Five: Cute and Charming

  She put down the small ornament she was holding and hurried to the pharmacy mentioned earlier. Inside, there was only a young apprentice slowly cleaning up the medicine. She walked over and knocked on the counter, asking: "Did a very handsome man come in earlier to buy medicine for hatching a fantasy beast egg?"

  The little medicine boy heard the voice and raised his head, saw Jiang Nian's hand stopped, thought for a moment before saying: "Just now there was a young man in blue clothes who came over, but he left in a hurry without buying any medicine."

  Blue? Is Lan Lun wearing blue clothes? Jiang Nian thought for a moment, feeling that this child with the surname Lan probably likes blue too, and it should be around this time that Lan Lun will come alone.

  "Do you know where he went?"

  "I remember going out and turning left, but then I don't know what happened."

  "Oh, I see. Thanks." Jiang Nian nodded and took another glance at the medicine cabinet behind her, feeling that there was nothing good worth buying, so she turned around and left.

  After going out, she first looked to the right, where there were crowds of people, all residents of the city in the market. She glanced around and then turned to the left, on the left was also a market, but because it was at the end of the market, there were fewer people, so it didn't seem as crowded.

  Perhaps the Phantom Beast Egg had an accident, and Lantian didn't want others to know, so he ran ahead alone to a place with fewer people. Or, after obtaining the Phantom Beast Egg, did he want to get rid of himself?

  Jiang Nian smiled coldly, very confidently eliminating the second possibility. Someone like Lan Lun, who looks fierce and venomous on the outside but is actually lonely and yearning for warmth in his heart, a person who likes to rely on others, how could he possibly choose to be alone?

  She slowly walked towards the left, thinking that maybe she hadn't gone far and would soon see Lan Lun running back to show off a newly born fantasy beast.

  Her guess was correct, and as soon as she left the market, she saw Lan Lun rushing back and forth with a flustered expression. When he saw Jiang Nian, his expression was even more surprised, and the things in his hand almost fell off.

  Jiang Nian's gaze followed his eyes to the thing in his hand, and his left eyebrow twitched upwards. It was a... dumb cute thing.

  This little thing is quite cute, looking like a bird, its hair not yet fully grown, making it look particularly disheveled, and also like a ball of flesh, easily arousing people's desire to protect it.

  However, Jiang Nian only took a glance and then looked at Lan Lun: "You're lucky, you can naturally hatch it, and the ability to grow up in the future will definitely be more solid. Judging from its shape, it should be a phoenix, and if you're lucky, it might even be a double-headed fire phoenix. In the future, you won't have to worry about anything when you take her out."

  Lan Lun looked down at the little Phoenix in his hand, it couldn't speak yet but it was very cute, its head nodding slightly as if it were about to fall asleep. Lan Lun gently stroked its head, feeling the softness of its feathers. Jiang Nian watched this scene and felt a warmth in her heart, she walked forward to look at the little Phoenix. The little Phoenix was shy, when it broke out of its shell, it only saw Lan Lun, so it thought he was its only family member, now seeing another person, it slightly shrunk back into Lan Lun's palm.

  Fortunately, Jiang Nian's interest wasn't very great either. After being ignored by the silly Mengmeng, she straightened up and reminded Lan Lian of some things to pay attention to, then asked him where he wanted to go next.

  "I don't know either, Little Phoenix hasn't grown up yet and can't help me, but my parents are still in the Ninth City. The Wu family must have put a lot of pressure on them these past few days, I have to go back and help them."

  Jiang Nian muttered to himself, unexpectedly Lan Lun was still a filial child. However, she couldn't possibly risk returning to the Ninth City; without the help of the Lianlian tree, she might suffer an unexpected injury.

  After a moment's thought, she said she wanted to part ways with Lan Lun. Lan Lun was not very happy and reluctant, but still felt that he should go back to the Ninth City to take a look. Although he didn't want to leave, he still had to say goodbye to Jiang Nian first, touching his hand before reluctantly leaving with Chui Meng to the flying beast's station.

  Chiang thought to himself as he walked back, shaking his head. This kid is really stupid, thinking I wouldn't notice him putting another tracking device on me? Using the same trick twice, can this guy even learn a lesson?

  She waited for a while before feeling that Lan Leng had almost boarded the flying beast, then used her illusion power to remove the tracking powder from her body and also went to the flying beast's station.
