My Master Disconnected Yet Again (Part 4)

Chapter 566: Lonemoon Rescues the Beauty

Could she just let the joke go?

The girl's surname was Chu, and she went by Tao. Chutao lived in a mystic spiritual realm just one kilometer away from where they were. Her misadventures this time had caused her to meet with the three robbers. Lonemoon found out more about the situation in the area by making small talk with her. Most of the people in this mystic spiritual realm were from Elf Country. The people inside had all been cultivating as gremlins for several years.

The gremlins were quite similar to the demons that they had back in their own plane. The only difference was these gremlins did not consume people, nor did they have any demonic Qi around their bodies. The three of them walked Chutao all the way back to her city, to the doorstep of a very big bungalow. Lonemoon was slightly shocked. He did not think that the person they casually rescued belonged to such a rich family in the city.

The moment Chu Tao arrived, more than ten servants came forward to welcome her home.

"Lady Chu, take care. We will not send you any further." Lonemoon cupped his fists and said his goodbyes.

Chutao turned around and looked at him for a long time, as if she could not bear to see him go. "Wait!" She called out instinctively.

"Lady Chu, what's the matter? Lonemoon asked politely.

"You... do you all want to come in for a cup of tea and some rest?" Although she sounded like she was addressing the three of them, she looked only at Lonemoon. She was blushing one again and she looked extremely shy.

"There'll be no need for that. We still have matters to attend to. We shall not bother you anymore," Lonemoon turned her down politely.

"But..." The girl was getting more anxious now. She took two steps toward them and looked at the group, as if suddenly recalling something. "It's getting late. Why not the few of you stay at my place tonight and continue on your journey tomorrow?" Seeing that they were hesitating, she added, "You saved me earlier. Just take it as me returning the favor?"

Lonemoon tightened his grip on the fan in his hand. He thought of something and nodded. "Thank you then, Lady."

Chutao was obviously overjoyed. She bounced backward and said, "Please, Sir God Gremlin! Please follow me as well, Sir and Lady."

"..." Lonemoon hesitted. What the hell was freaking "Sir God Gremlin!"

"Actually, I'm Lonemoon!" He clarified in a low voice.

Chutao hesitated. She did not know what to think, but her face turned a deeper red once again. She looked down, as if looking for a place to hide her face. "Sir... Sir Lonemoon! This way, please!" She led them into the house.

She instructed the servants to serve the guests well, then returned to her room to get changed.

The master and disciple duo: "..."

Their eyes had narrowed into slits. They both turned to look at a certain dog-like playboy.

"What are you looking at?!" Lonemoon glared at them.

"Father Niu, I didn't know you were this good at wooing girls?"

"Who's wooing girls?" He poured himself a cup of tea and handed one to Shen Ying out of habit. "I'm only staying here because it'll be a good way to find out more about the spirit seed."

"Oh~" The both of them said together.

"Stop this nonsense about wooing girls!" He glared at them once again. "What's more, there are too many people who have fallen for me. I can't do anything about that!"

"Do you like this Chu girl?" Shen Ying leaned in closer and whispered.

"What nonsense are you uttering? Of course not!"

"Then you're staying..." If he wanted to find out more about the spirit seed, he could do so anywhere else as well!

Lonemoon looked at them as if they were retarded. "Rubbish. This is only our first day here. We have nothing on us and we don't even know what currency they use over here. If we don't stay here on the pretext of her repaying us for our kindness, where else can we go? Do you expect us to sleep on the streets?

Shen Ying: "..."

Yi Qing: "..."

That's logical – the peasants had nothing to say in reply!

The few of them did not stay in the living room for long. After an hour, Chutao returned. She changed into a long pink robe, which made her look much more elegant than she did before. It was obvious that she had put in much thought in her dressing. She also had an exquisite hairpin in her hair, A soft tassel hung from the hairpin and swayed with each step that Chutao took. Under the soft glow of the evening sun, Chu Tao looked exceptionally beautiful.

"I've kept you all waiting." Chu Tao bowed respectfully to the three of them,

"Don't stand on ceremony, Lady Chu Tao," Lonemoon replied with a wide grin. Lonemoon was in business mode now. He said all sorts of pleasantries to Chu Tao, so that her gaze became softer and gentler.
