Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 194 Yingfeng Inn

Yunyi glanced at her sideways: "No matter how lively it is, it has nothing to do with us. Go and get some rest. We're leaving early tomorrow morning."

Hong Yi chuckled and turned to rest.

Before dawn the next day, Zhao Mingyan got up and prepared breakfast. She lavishly used the remaining few kilograms of flour to make steamed buns, and also mixed the remaining millet and rice to make a large pot of thick porridge.

"This porridge should have red dates and goji berries in it." During the years Mo Li was imprisoned, the drugs controlled his body so much that he lost all sense of being human. Moreover, Bai Jianming didn't allow anyone to take good care of him; it was good enough if he could just get some food and water.

"You've got quite a good appetite?" Yunyi couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

"Miao'er's porridge is delicious." Mo Li's face showed a nostalgic expression. "Especially in winter, drinking a bowl of it is like being in heaven."

Yunyi pouted: "Alright, even if you stuff in a god, he can't compare to your status as the leader of the martial arts world."

Mo Li fell silent, simply lowering her head and quietly drinking her porridge.

Soon, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and started packing. After so many years, they actually had quite a lot of things, but Yunyi didn't let them bring any. They only needed to bring their personal clothes and some commonly used items, and they could buy the rest when they got there.

"Sigh." After lifting Qiao Yue into the car, Zhao Mingyan glanced at the home she had lived in for several years, sighed, and then locked the door. However, she still went to her neighbor's house next door to say a few words.

The neighbor saw him out, saying, "Go and get treatment without worry. I'll come in and clean the house from time to time."

"Thank you, Auntie. Please feel free to use any things you can find in the house. We don't know when we'll be back."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, come back soon."

……

Yunyi and Hongyi arrived on horseback, but now that there's an extra carriage, Hongyi gave her horse to Moli.

"Your horse is quite good." Mo Li looked at Xiao Bai, her eyes beginning to light up.

"Hmm." Yunyi nodded. "It's a pity it's my mount, I can't give it to you."

"Can I ride it for a bit?"

"No."

Mo Li pouted: "Hmph, I smelled the medicine on that man too. You lied to me and said you didn't have any left, but you used it on someone else."

Yunyi: ...

Your nose is quite sensitive.

“Miao’er would never do that; she would always save the best for me.” Mo Li’s thoughts sometimes resemble those of a child.

“No matter how good Miao’er is, she can’t compare to your status as the leader of the martial arts alliance,” Yun Yi retorted again.

"You..." Mo Li's eyes suddenly reddened, "Why do you always bully me?"

"I tell the truth."

"I don't want to care about you anymore."

"If you ignore me, you won't be alright. You'll be imprisoned again, and then you'll never have the chance to see Miao'er again."

Mo Li took a deep breath: "You girl... are really not likable."

"Miao'er is so lovable, it's a pity you lost her."

Mo Li could only remain silent once again.

Yunyi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. The old man still wanted to be dramatic with her? Sorry, she was the expert at dealing with all kinds of drama.

The people in the carriage couldn't help but laugh as they watched the old man and the young man bickering.

Because the carriage couldn't travel too fast, they still had to rest for one night along the way.

The weather is already quite cold, and sleeping outdoors would be too miserable. Fortunately, they set off early today, so they arrived at an inn before dark.

This inn has a bit of the feel of the Dragon Inn from the old movies. It exists all alone in this wilderness. Last time, they set off late and missed it, so they had to camp out and ended up encountering a pack of wolves.

However, the owner of this Yingfeng Inn was an old man with a few employees, and he mainly served people traveling to and from the border.

When Yunyi and the others entered, there were two tables of guests dining in the hall.

"Sir, would you like to stay at the inn or have a meal?" a waiter greeted.

"Check-in." Yunyi glanced around. "Three guest rooms." Then she tossed a gold ingot over. "Bring up three buckets of hot water, and also bring up a few of your restaurant's signature dishes."

"Please come upstairs." The waiter gestured for them to come up, then called out, "There are three guest rooms upstairs."

Yunyi went upstairs first, followed by Moli carrying Qiao Yue on her back, then Zhao Mingyan carrying a child, and Hongyi was at the very back.

The waiter upstairs hurriedly came over and opened three guest rooms side by side.

Yunyi arranged for Qiao Yue to share a room with Mo Li, Hong Yi and Zhao Mingyan to share a room with their child, and she herself to share a room.

I had just tidied up after entering the house when hot water was brought up.

After everyone washed up, the waiter came up to collect the water buckets and also brought up the food.

Yunyi glanced at the food and sighed softly. Clearly, she couldn't escape being drugged at any time. Since that was the case, she might as well play along. So she invited everyone to her room.

"I'm starving." Mo Li came in, grabbed chopsticks, and was about to eat.

“There’s something wrong with this place.” Yunyi raised her hand and patted the back of his hand. “They’ve put sleeping pills in the food, but the dosage isn’t high enough to take effect immediately. It’s probably meant to make us unconscious.”

Mo Li hurriedly took two steps back, looking disgusted.

“I have some food here, fill your stomachs, and then we’ll play along and see who’s up to this.” Yunyi pointed to the steamed buns next to her, “These steamed buns are fine.”

So everyone shared the plate of steamed buns. Afterwards, Yunyi instructed Moli and Hongyi to just protect Qiao Yue's family of three, and leave the rest to her.

"Girl, I'm really good at fighting." Mo Li shook her fist.

“But the toxins in your body haven’t been completely eliminated. It would be very dangerous if you continued to use your internal energy.” Yunyi shook her head. “So, listen to me. Once you’re completely healed, I’ll come to you if we need to fight again.”

"Alright then." Mo Li obeyed this time.

Yunyi let Doudou smell some medicine and told him to go to sleep quietly so as not to scare him if something happened later.

Although Zhao Mingyan was lying in bed, she still tied her son to her chest so that she could easily escape if anything happened.

Soon, the night deepened.

Footsteps sounded outside. The first person to arrive at Yunyi's room knocked lightly on the door. When no one answered, the person used a razor blade to pry open the bolt and then pushed the door open to enter the room.

Yunyi watched from the corner and noticed that one of the two people who came in was the waiter who had led them upstairs.

The two people went straight to the bed after entering the room, but just as they were about to attack the person on the bed, they suddenly froze and then fell to the ground with a thud.

Although they were both too weak to move, neither of them fainted. When they saw Yunyi walking over, their faces showed expressions of horror.
