Xie Yunnan busied himself in the plantation field early in the morning.

There’s a lot of fields in the fringes, but most don’t belong to the people living there. They belong to the big families in the central district.

Huge plantation farms encircle the plots of fertile land.

Therefore, although Xie Yunnan grew up in the fringe area, he had no chance to farm other than a few vegetables at the back of his house.

The vegetables he grows behind his house are often stolen.

Over time, he stopped planting them. But he has always liked farming. Recently, the price of grain has risen, and he has an inexplicable love for the land.

With the children in the fringe area, Xie Yunnan carefully planted all the places where he could grow things.

“Is the price of food still high recently?” Xie Yunnan asked the children.

The children nodded.

Xie Yunnan didn’t know why the price of food in Hongye City skyrocketed like this, but he couldn’t do much, so he could only find ways to help the people nearby, such as finding work for these children, and then giving them food as wages.

After when the crops in the field matures, the situation should improve?

Xie Yunnan turned around in the ground and returned to the top floor where he and Duan Changqing lived.

Xia Qing has been renovating the top floor for the past few days. Now the toilet on the top floor is ready for use, and the room is more cozy.

Even without them saying anything, Xia Qing’s aesthetics are good.

The terrace where Duan Changqing stayed during the day has now been turned into a glass room. In addition to Duan Changqing’s reclining chair, there is also a large blanket.

This blanket is for Xie Yunnan and Ghost King. If these two want to practice during the day, they can stay by Duan Changqing’s side.

Xie Yunnan is used to it. As for the Ghost King… Xie Yunnan wants to treat him, so it’s better for him to stay nearby.

At this moment, Duan Changqing was eating the sugarcane produced in the plantation, watching Xie Yunnan in the fields below.

Looking at it, Duan Changqing saw someone come to find Xie Yunnan for car repairs.

Although Xie Yunnan has become a priest, his life has not changed much, and he has not changed his attitude towards the people around him. If someone comes to ask for repairs, he’ll still help repair their car.

As for Duan Changqing… Although he was far away, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The person who came to Xie Yunnan to repair the car has a problem…

Alas, his father-in-law causes too much trouble.

“How did you become an S-class wanted criminal?” Duan Changqing asked the Ghost King.

The Ghost King said, “Killed a priest.”

“Why did you kill the priest?” Duan Changqing asked again.

“That person… stole Yunnan, and told me at the time that the child was already dead… He should’ve really wanted to kill Yunnan.” Ghost King said. “You know, it’s not easy for us senior warriors to have a child…”

Duan Changqing really didn’t know “it’s not easy for a senior warrior to have a child”… Well, he knows now.

The Ghost King believed that he and Duan Changqing were on the same boat, and directly explained his origins.

In fact, he was born from a noble family, but his family… Before he was born, something happened to his family, and he was almost killed.

As for the cause, it was only because his grandfather was young and arrogant and offended a priest, and that priest… he later became a senior priest.

That person said he didn’t like their family, and their family was dead.

He kept his name incognito, grew up under the care of the Lu family, and married Miss Lu. He originally wanted to give up revenge, but he didn’t expect his son to encounter an accident.

His wife is not only beautiful, she is also the heir of the Lu family. Marrying his wife can bring great benefits, so his wife had many suitors back then… Who would have thought that one of the suitors would awaken as a priest?

Even if he awakened as a priest, this person has always hated him and made things difficult for them several times.

At that time, although he was just a low-level warrior with an empty appearance, he joined the Lu family with a fox companion beast. In fact he was already a middle-level warrior, and the junior priest’s various tricks did not affect him.

Unexpectedly, the man was annoyed, and actually did something to his son.

Later, he faked his death and left Lu’s house, and then killed that guy.

After that, he walked around, avenged many people, and became more and more famous…

“If it hadn’t happened, Yunnan would be the heir of the Lu family now, and can have whatever he wants.” The Ghost King sighed.

He remembered his wife’s nephew, the little guy whose animal was a dog. He had countless suitors in Holy City. What about his son?

Well, his son is even more powerful, and is now married to a god-level warrior.

Duan Changqing did not expect such a thing, and was a little surprised.

After thinking about it, he began to ask about the situation of the Holy City again.

As the Ghost King replied one question after another one, he felt strange again.

He felt that Duan Changqing should be the warrior responsible for protecting the High Priest, so he shouldn’t be ignorant of these matters.

But he won’t say no when people ask.

Duan Changqing frowned slightly after hearing this.

In this world, technology is developed, but equality… It seems that it is still far away.

If nothing else, those priests who killed people can’t be exempted, and should pay for their sins.

However, it is impossible for priests to be short of money. Warriors need to find priests to help them treat them, and will pay a lot of money.

Living in such a world, Duan Changqing felt a little insecure.

Fortunately, recently, there is a Ghost King offering free food and drink, and his health is improving.

Having eaten a lot of the other people’s exotic beasts, Duan Changqing thought about it, and then said to the Ghost King: “You have learned the exercises, do you want to learn another sword technique?”

Of course! The Ghost King agreed immediately.

Duan Changqing said again: “After learning, remember to teach Yunnan.”

Ghost King: “…Why don’t you teach? Why do you keep hiding from Yunnan?”

Duan Changqing looked at him and sighed. “Yunnan likes weak and beautiful men.”

The Ghost King: “…”

After learning some swordsmanship from Duan Changqing, the Ghost King decided to go and try it out, and go hunting along the way.

Seeing this, Duan Changqing said, “Let’s all go together.”

“Go together?” The Ghost King was puzzled.

Duan Changqing said: “Let Yunnan gain some experience.”

It is good for Xie Yunnan to do more actual combat, and since Xie Yunnan is going, of course he must accompany him to protect him.

If he and the Ghost King go… It’s too dangerous to leave the Ghost King’s subordinates behind, so… let’s go together.

The Ghost King agreed.

Xia Qing drove and one of the Ghost King’s subordinates sat in the co-pilot position, while the Ghost King Duan Changqing, and Xie Yunnan sat in the back of the truck.

The car drove towards Hongye Forest. Along the way, Xie Yunnan was worried about Duan Changqing’s physical condition: “Changqing, is it really okay for you to follow us to Hongye Forest?”

“I’m fine.” Duan Changqing said.

“He’s fine.” The Ghost King is very sure that with Duan Changqing’s strength, he can walk sideways in Hongye Forest!

“Master…” Xie Yunnan glanced helplessly at the Ghost King and then at Duan Changqing, his eyes full of worry.

But he didn’t stop them.

His master’s enemy has already come to the door. If Duan Changqing is left behind, what will they do?

He’s afraid that Duan Changqing will be injured.

Xie Yunnan said to Duan Changqing: “Wait, I’ll carry you!” He was very strong, and he had no problem walking with Duan Changqing on his back.

“What’s the use of this!” The Ghost King was speechless.

But Duan Changqing agreed at the same time: “Okay!”

Ghost King: “…” You, a god-level warrior, have the nerve to let a priest carry you?!

Seeing this, Xia Qing couldn’t help but say, “Otherwise, I’ll carry you?” She is an intermediate-level warrior with great strength!

Xie Yunnan and Duan Changqing looked at Xia Qing together – this is really unnecessary!

It’s impossible for Duan Changqing to let someone other than Xie Yunnan carry him, and Xie Yunnan can’t accept Duan Changqing being carried by others.

This is his partner!

The car could not drive into Hongye Forest, so it stopped outside the forest. Several people got out of the car and walked towards Hongye Forest together.

Of course, Duan Changqing was carried away by Xie Yunnan.

Duan Changqing thinks this is good, Xie Yunnan actually needs weight training, but the Ghost King and the others don’t pay attention to this… Carrying him can be considered good training.

He can also secretly help Xie Yunnan practice.

He lay on Xie Yunnan’s back with peace of mind, and kissed Xie Yunnan’s neck while others were not paying attention.

Xie Yunnan stopped abruptly.

“What’s wrong?” The Ghost King turned his head.

“It’s okay.” Xie Yunnan took a deep breath and continued walking.

He has been busy cultivating these days, and they live with his master at night… After that time kissing Duan Changqing when he first awakened as a priest, the two have never been close again.

He has never been kissed like so.

This numb feeling made his heart beat faster involuntarily.

Xie Yunnan continued to walk forward, and after taking a few steps, he felt a little lost – why didn’t Duan Changqing kiss him?

Just as he thought so, Duan Changqing kissed him again.

The corner of Xie Yunnan’s mouth couldn’t help but tick up, Duan Changqing is really good at acting like a spoiled child! Like this… Xie Yunnan feels that no matter how long he carries him, he won’t get tired!

Xie Yunnan got more and more energetic!

Duan Changqing is not surprised by this, after all… he is sending spiritual power to Xie Yunnan!

After walking for a while, the Ghost King said: “Let all the companion beasts out. If we go further, we may encounter exotic beasts.”

Although the Ghost King said so, he did not release his companion beast, but other people released theirs.

The Ghost King brought his three subordinates, and Xia Qing is the only female among them. Her companion beast turned out to be a honey badger.

As soon as the fearless honey badger came out, it ran into the forest.

As for the two men, the one called “Dahao”, his companion beast is a porcupine, and the one called “Dahei”, has a crocodile companion beast.

Dahei’s companion beast is not a big crocodile. Its combat power is not strong, and the combat power of porcupine is also average. Of the three, it seems that Xia Qing is the best at fighting.

Duan Changqing looked around and went to see Xiaobai again.

Xiaobai has grown up and is wagging his tail at him…

Duan Changqing released his Xiaohua: “Go.”

As soon as Duan Changqing finished speaking, Xiaohua jumped and landed on Xiaobai’s back.

Xiaobai carried Xiaohua on his back just like Xie Yunnan carried him.

“Your companion animal is a little chipmunk…” Feeling a little sympathetic, Xia Qing said, “It’s very cute.”

“Thank you, it’s very cute.” Duan Changqing said.

When the Ghost King saw this little chipmunk, he really wanted to touch it to see if it was real.

How can the companion beast of a god-level warrior be a chipmunk?

He suspects that Duan Changqing’s companion beast’s innate skills are similar to his Xiaojiu, which can confuse people around him.

The appearance of this chipmunk must be fake!

Don’t know what this little chipmunk’s true form is. If it stays on Xiaobai’s back, will it crush Xiaobai?

The Ghost King was examining Duan Changqing’s companion beast when suddenly, “Ooow”, from the nearby woods, sprang out…a wolf?

It’s a dirty wolf covered in a lot of mud!

The breath of this wolf… It is obviously not a strange beast, but a companion beast. It leaped and rushed towards Xiaobai.

The Ghost King subconsciously wanted to move, but suddenly stopped.

The wolf looked familiar.

As soon as he thought of this, he saw the wolf opened its mouth and wanted to bite Duan Changqing’s little chipmunk— it’s real target was obviously not Xiaobai, but Xiaohua.

But the little chipmunk moved quickly and jumped to a tree with one leap.

When the wolf saw this, he raised his head and called towards the tree: “Bark bark bark! Woof woof woof!”

It’s confirmed – it’s not familiar, it’s really familiar.

His wife’s unreliable nephew is here!

The Ghost King wanted to teach the dog a lesson, but the dog was a bit dirty, and he didn’t want to get his hands dirty…

Just thinking about it, the Ghost King saw Xia Qing’s companion beast, the honey badger jump out, and bite the silly dog’s neck.

“Woo!” The husky screamed in horror at being bitten, and desperately resisted, but the honey badger had thick skin and didn’t care about its attack at all.

The two sides continued fighting, and the husky’s barking finally turned into “woo woo” cries.

At this time, Xiaobai rushed over and pulled two clumps of hair from the husky with his two claws – who let it bully Xiaohua!

Lu Xiaoran, who came in a hurry, was expressionless, but in fact… he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it.

Someone saw the useless appearance of his companion beast! Is there still time for him to pretend he doesn’t know this companion beast?

Ah, it’s too late.

When the husky who was being beaten saw Lu Xiaoran, he was very excited: “Wooo!”

Lu Xiaoran: “…” Don’t call me, I don’t know you!

Hahahaha, XYN’s cousin appears.
