Chapter 566: Lonemoon Rescues the Beauty

The few of them almost lost control and burst out in laughter. With all their willpower, they suppressed the urge to laugh. Nevertheless, their trembling shoulders gave them away.

A moment later, they replied, “So you’re Chicken Gremlin ¹ ! We’re sorry, we’re sorry! Our chef has long known of your good reputation.”

The other party scanned them from head to toe, as if unsatisfied with their response. “What kind of gremlins are you guys then? Report immediately.”

“How are you, Chicken Gremlin? I’m Taste Gremlin!” Shen Ying waved her hand.

Chicken Gremlin paused. What kind of gremlin was Taste Gremlin? He had never heard of something like that before, yet he thought it would be disrespectful to clarify. Thus, he turned to Chef in the middle. “And you?”

Chef paused. He answered, “I’m a human.”

“Human Gremlin?”

“…”

“Hmph, you’re indeed wild gremlins and strange creatures from the countryside.” Chicken Gremlin had become even more contemptuous toward them by now. He finally turned to Lonemoon, who was still trying to stop laughing. “And you! What are you!”

Lonemoon sucked in a deep breath and faced Chicken Gremlin. He turned the fan in his hands and smiled, “I’m no gremlin or creature, I’m… a god!”

Chicken Gremlin hesitated, then said, “You’re a God Gremlin ¹ !”

Lonemoon: “…”

#What an absolute failure#

Crazy your ass!

You’re the crazy one! Your entire family is crazy! Where the hell did he come up with a phrase like god gremlin?

“Pu pu pu…”

“No laughing!” Lonemoon turned to glare at the master and disciple duo. Do you believe I would dock your allowance?

Lonemoon pursed his lips. He lost interest in messing around with the three of them any longer. “Forget it, let’s take action!” He waved the fan in his hands and caused several wind blades to shoot out at them.

Before they could react, they were blown backwards so that they disappeared out of sight immediately.

It was only then that Lonemoon turned to the shocked lady beside him. “Lady, are you alright?”

The girl paused. It was a long while later before she finally reacted. Her eyes began to well up. “Thank you… Thank you, benefactors, for helping me. I am eternally grateful!” She kowtowed toward the three of them.

“Lady, please don’t stand on ceremony.” Lonemoon quickly helped her back on her feet. “It was not much trouble at all.”

The girl held onto Lonemoon’s arm and stood up. She finally stopped crying. A moment later, as if realizing that they were standing at an inappropriate distance, she took one step back. Then, she looked up into Lonemoon’s eyes, before quickly averting her gaze. Her face flushed red as she pulled the outer robe around her even tighter. Perhaps she recalled that Lonemoon had handed her the outer robe – her face turned an even deeper red.

“Lady, this is the wilderness. I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to remain on your own,” Lonemoon suggested. “We have nothing urgent to tend to at the moment. If you don’t mind, why don’t you let us send you home?”

The girl seemed overjoyed. She turned to Lonemoon with bright eyes as she nodded eagerly. “Thank you Sir God Gremlin, Sir Human Gremlin and Lady Taste Gremlin.”

Taste Gremlin Shen Ying: “…”

Human Gremlin Yi QIng: “…”

God Gremlin Lonemoon: “…”

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.
