The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Chapter 118 I also have monthly allowance

Cang Yue Kingdom——Nanlai Official Road

With the monthly salary, Ye Ling immediately changed his boastful words: "Jiuyou, I think it's not bad to be law-abiding. After all, we have a guaranteed salary every month. We can kill people for money if we can, and we won't force ourselves if we can't. We are here to enjoy life, not to work. What do you think?"

Jiuyou smiled slightly: "Okay, you have the final say."

"No, your smile makes me feel like you are laughing at me!"

"I don't dare to laugh at you, I just think... you are very cute." Jiuyou is not good at complimenting people, so he can only express his true thoughts.

"Cute, right?" Ye Ling had a personality that could be both sweet and fierce, but her smile suddenly disappeared. "Wait, I have a question. Since every Jianghu official gets a monthly stipend, does my princess also get one?"

"We don't want it," Jiuyou said bluntly.

"Yes, we don't care, we have plenty of money."

The two of them had endless things to talk about along the way. Since they didn't have a lunch break at noon, they camped in the afternoon while the sun was still high.

The camping site that Mo Yufeng chose was not far from the official road and was very flat. The only drawback was that it was a bit far from the water source, so he had to send a few people with buckets to fetch water, while the rest of the people were setting up tents for the night.

Jiuyou pulled the carriage to the camp, unloaded the horses so that they could rest and eat grass, and propped up the carriage on both sides with stirrups.

"Junior Sister" Mo Yufeng walked over quickly: "Let's rest tomorrow and continue our journey the day after tomorrow, okay?"

"Huh?" Ye Ling was speechless. "Brother, we've only just started! The first day."

"I know. I received a letter via carrier pigeon at the last minute. I returned to Zhuangnanlai overnight to get something from the branch hall." Mo Yufeng was also helpless.

"Okay, then be careful."

"Okay, help me take care of your sister-in-law!"

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, she'll be fine." Ye Ling ate a mouthful of dog food.

"Let's go." Mo Yufeng was used to traveling alone, so he rode away on his horse.

Ye Ling and Jiu You worked together to set up the tent. They first tied one end of the cloth tightly to the front and back of the carriage to ensure it wouldn't come loose. Jiu You then fixed two wooden sticks in front, pressing them into the ground with his inner strength. He then used two sticks of the same length as the width, one long stick as the length, and the other long stick as the carriage itself. This rectangular structure was easily formed. The two then pulled the tarpaulin up from both sides, and in an instant, a perfect tent was complete, complete with doors and windows. Even in this scorching weather, it wasn't at all stuffy.

Then comes the sunshade, which extends about three meters in front of the tent. Simply fix two wooden sticks to hold up the sunshade, and everything is done smoothly.

Ye Ling took out a cheapest carpet from the space and spread it in the tent, then took out two single folding beds and placed them on both sides. In order not to attract attention, she immediately took out blankets to make the beds and cover the iron frame. She also took out a small table and placed it between the two beds to put some items. After all, it would be a bit stuffy to sleep in a carriage for two nights and one day.

Considering that Jiuyou was a very conservative person, Ye Ling pulled a simple privacy curtain for the single bed inside, which made it perfect.

Jiuyou unloaded the wooden box from the back of the carriage, moved it under the awning and placed it in the corner.

"How much stuff did you take?" Youminglang asked curiously. His tent was set up in front of Ye Ling's carriage, just a few steps away.

"When you go out, the more prepared you are, the better." Ye Ling walked out of the tent.

You Ming Lang looked curious: "Can I go in and take a look?"

"Of course." Ye Ling made a gesture of invitation: "Welcome to my temporary residence, please come in."

You Ming Lang lowered his head slightly and walked in: "You also laid a carpet? You brought two small beds?"

"That's right. Otherwise, looking down would be like looking at the grass, which would be uncomfortable. Life should have a sense of ritual! Jiuyou and I each have one."

You Ming Lang was a little confused: "You...sleep in the same room with him?"

"Yes! What's wrong? I have a curtain, and you can't see it when I pull it up. We are always together. I can't sleep if he is not by my side." Ye Ling made up an excuse.

Youminglang smiled and nodded: "I really envy Jiuyou!"

"What's there to envy? Oh, Senior Brother needs to go back to Nanlai to get something. If we don't leave tomorrow, will it keep you away?"

"No need to delay. Young Master Mo has already greeted me. I have always been a loner. Now that I am finally able to travel with you, it can be considered a change of mind."

"That's good. I'll cook tonight. Do you want to try it?"

"You... you can cook?" Youminglang was surprised.

"You're kidding! If I couldn't cook, I'd have starved to death. Besides, if I can't cook, what would I eat if I'm traveling all the way?"

"Eat the dry food you brought with you."

"Okay, you'll take care of yourself along the way! I'll cook for you," Ye Ling said as he walked out of the tent and prepared to cook dinner.

Netherworld Lang naturally followed him out. Jiuyou had already laid out two thick blankets, joined together, under the sunshade. These were also the ones Ye Ling had just taken out from the space and placed next to them. On the blankets were two small low tables, also joined together.

"You brought too many things!" Hu Zi, who was setting up the tent, couldn't help but sigh.

"This is why I bought a big carriage. It can hold a lot of things. Master You, you can sit on the blanket and rest. With this sunshade, you won't be exposed to the sun. I'll cook. Jiuyou, go get some water," said Ye Ling.

"You don't have to fetch water, it's here." Su Su walked over. Her tent was not far from Ye Ling, about ten steps away.

The two guards each carried two buckets of water and said, "Envoy Ye, if you can't see enough, we'll go and fight again."

"That's enough for now, Susu. Let me introduce you. This is the owner of Youlou in Guiren Pavilion, and this is Miss Su, the granddaughter of the owner of Langya Pavilion. Let's get to know each other," Ye Ling introduced.

"Miss Su," Youminglang bowed slightly.

"Master of Youlou" Su Su squatted slightly and saluted. When she saw what Jiuyou took out of the wooden box, she was shocked: "You also brought pots and bowls?"

Ye Ling looked puzzled: "What do you eat when you're away from home? Cold dry food?"

"Yes! I will buy some to take with me wherever I go. What else can I do?" Su Su was very curious.

"I never let my mouth and stomach down. I can't eat the cold dry food."

"You don't want to cook, do you? Can you cook?" Su Su asked tentatively.

"Let me emphasize that we are out here mainly for fun, so eating, drinking and having fun are indispensable. You and Master You sit down and rest, and have a cup of herbal tea. I'm in a good mood today, so I plan to cook a meal." Ye Ling started to roll up her sleeves as she spoke. She was telling the truth. If she was in a bad mood, she would just want to stay quiet, let alone cook.

Su Su didn't sit down, but stayed by Ye Ling's side. "Sister Ye, you're good at martial arts, good at fighting, rich, and can cook. Isn't this the kind of husband every woman in the world dreams of?"

"Ah?" Ye Ling was puzzled. "The man that every woman in the world dreams of?"

Su Su nodded frantically, and Ye Ling smiled: "Actually, I also want to be the husband that all the women in the world dream of, but the key is that I don't have the hardware!"

Su Su looked innocent after hearing this: "Does this require hardware? You have such high martial arts skills, how can it not be hard?"

"Puff... cough cough..." Youminglang almost choked himself to death after taking a mouthful of cold tea.

Jiuyou looked at Ye Ling helplessly, and Hu Zi laughed like crazy.

Ye Ling also smiled helplessly: "You...you leave me speechless!"

Su Su was still in a daze: "I don't care, I just like you. That day you fell from the sky and saved me..."

"Wait a minute, I remember I seemed to walk out, not fall from the sky?"

"This is a metaphor. It's written in the storybook that a woman is in danger, and a man in white clothes falls from the sky and saves her, and then they live happily together," Su Su said with a crazy look on her face.

"It's a cliché story, but I'm not a man!"

"It makes no difference to me. Anyway, I just like you very much. I like you so much that the cloak you gave me is still on my carriage. I can't bear to wear it."

Ye Ling said as he cut the meat, "I never thought I'd have such luck with women in my life. If you knew, my brother, your heart would bleed."

"What are they, men? Only women can understand women. Sister Ye, you see how cute I am. Can I stay with you tonight?"

"No," Jiuyou blurted out.

"Why?" Su Su was not convinced.

"Because..." Jiuyou was speechless.

"Because without Jiuyou, Lady Ye can't sleep," Youminglang answered for him.

"what?"

"Susu, I have a lot of bad habits and I don't like sleeping next to someone I'm not familiar with." Ye Ling was unwilling to do so. She and Jiuyou could still enter the space and take things out of the space together. It would be too inconvenient to have an outsider with her.

"But wouldn't it be more convenient for two girls to sleep together?" Su Su didn't quite understand.

"But I don't like sleeping with you. I'm going to cook. You go sit over there." Ye Ling refused decisively.

"Okay! Then I'll go get the prince from the carriage." Su Su walked away unhappily.

"Girl, you refused so directly!" Youminglang laughed.

"As a human being, the first word you learn is 'no'. Learn to say no and learn to refuse. After all, this is the first time for us all to be human beings. There is no need for anyone to give in to anyone else. No means no. I never force myself," said Ye Ling.

You Ming Lang agreed: "Well said."

At this moment, the pigeon flew back: "Master, there is a tail behind us. There are about thirty people. Their martial arts skills are average. They followed us all the way from Nanlai."

"Perseverance!" Ye Ling said.

"Do you know who it is?" Youminglang asked.

"Of course, after dinner, I'll go out alone and give them a chance. Otherwise, it's really annoying to keep following me like this."

"That's right, give them a chance," Youminglang agreed. Because with Ye Ling's current martial arts skills, this group of people was not enough to fill his teeth, so it would be better to deal with them early.

"I'm going to make you a Northeastern hotpot tonight. I'm not interested in anything else. It's gone all of a sudden!"

"We will eat whatever you cook," Youminglang said casually.

"I've been craving a bowl of mutton soup and a meal of mutton lately," Ye Ling said casually to himself.

Jiuyou beside him heard it immediately, and he had already started thinking about how to let Ye Ling eat mutton.
