The Legend of Fangren

After several explanations.

He Qisheng put in a lot of effort to finally explain to Fang Shi the fact that "Luohe is a girl".

He Lin, standing behind him, was overjoyed. All the words the young master spoke were his own, words he had explained to the young master a few days ago. In this way, the young master could at least understand some of the hardships he had endured.

"So, Junior Brother Fang, why don't you go look over there? We just finished eating and haven't started our afternoon practice yet, so it's a free time right now. It might be different later."

"Thank you, Senior Brother He."

Fang Shi, who had been lost in thought, nodded blankly, unable to shake off his doubts.

His childhood friend of over ten years was a girl? He thought this wasn't science fiction.

More importantly, he didn't know how to face Luohe; at least, he couldn't imagine Luohe wearing a skirt.

If I were to force myself to imagine it, it would look weird, really weird.

But no matter what, a childhood friend is a childhood friend.

Upon entering the Yin Courtyard, walking through the picturesque courtyard scenery, Fang Shi scrutinized each of his senior and junior sisters with a strange look in his eyes.

It wasn't that he was being lewd; he was just afraid that he might miss Luo He dressed in women's clothing if he wasn't careful.

Unfortunately, to outsiders, his appearance was indeed sleazy, and even the enhancement that his clothing brought to his demeanor was completely suppressed.

Hezi, where are you? I've come to see you!

*Slap*, I bumped into someone without even looking.

The other person was also dressed in martial arts attire, entirely silver-white, with a handsome face, neat short hair drooping over his ears, and a tall, elegant figure... He Zi?

"A prescription?!" Luohe instantly recognized the drastically changed Fang Shi.

The two recognized each other immediately by their incredibly familiar aura.

Before Fang Shi could speak, Luo He grabbed his arm and looked him up and down, making sure he was fully recovered before asking, "Fang Zi, where have you been these past few days! I asked around, and the news came back that you ran away. I even went to the outer sect several times afterward, but I couldn't find you. Did you really run away?"

"What are you saying?"

Fang Shi also sized up Luo He and replied, "If I had run away, would I have run into you here looking like this?"

"This is what it looks like?"

Perhaps too concerned about Fang Shi's safety, Luo He didn't even notice Fang Shi's new look.

Upon closer inspection, Luo He blinked her large eyes, and invisible stars appeared in them.

Quickly compliment your buddy on his good looks and satisfy his vanity.

Fang Shi casually struck a few poses, which made Luo He's eyes light up even more.

"Fangzi, did you...dress up like this on purpose today?"

"Of course, go ahead and tell me I'm handsome."

The two had been childhood sweethearts, and Luo He immediately clapped her hands obediently, praising, "Fang Zi, you've become so much more handsome."

Ha! Fang Shi's nose immediately perked up.

Say a few more words, don't be stingy with your praise.

Unfortunately, Qiaocun was a poor village with few educated people, and Luohe racked his brains for a long time but couldn't come up with any words.

Well, although praising his good looks is important, there is something more important for the two of them right now.

Fang Shi suddenly changed his narcissistic demeanor, staring at Luo He's face with a serious expression, and even moved closer and closer to look at her.

"Fang...Fangzi, what's wrong..." Luohe didn't take a step back, feeling the other's breath, and inexplicably became nervous as well.

"Hey! Prisoner He Zi, don't you have anything to explain?"

"What...what am I supposed to explain?"

Luo He had actually thought of it too, but she had kept it a secret for so many years, and now that it had suddenly been revealed, she didn't know how to respond...

Originally, she planned to go to the city to work hard before revealing the truth, but now it has turned out like this.

"Alright then."

Fang Shi seemed to have made a decision, taking a half step back. Luo He watched him nervously, not wanting their relationship to become distant because of this.

"We're still best friends, right?"

"Yes." Luo He nodded without hesitation.

"That's good. Come here, Hezi~ give me a hug." Fang Shi's expression was indeed feigned.

But this guy's actions seem a bit strange. Is he trying to take advantage of the situation?

Luohe didn't care at all.

"Okay, Fangzi, give me a hug."

She opened her arms and embraced Fang Shi tightly.

She was very happy that Fangzi hadn't abandoned her without saying goodbye, just as he had never abandoned her before.

This intimate act attracted strange looks from many of the senior and junior sisters, after all, it was broad daylight and the world was clear... So the two had to separate and talk about serious matters.

"Fangzi, where have you been these past few days?"

"I went to the mountains. The outer sect disciples don't earn any rewards for their work. I can find spirit fruits, so I might as well exchange them for money. Look, I just bought these clothes today."

"Are you short of money?" Luo He got straight to the point. "I still have some of my commission left over this month. Take some and use it."

"Stop, don't you know my abilities? Do you think I'd be short of money?" Fang Shi tapped Luo He's head, which was indeed harder. However, Luo He was quite satisfied with the long-awaited head-tapping interaction.

"But I should be asking you, are you lacking spirit fruits?"

"No, no, we don't need it." Luo He shook his head.

"Come on."

Fang Shi didn't just hang around in the mountains for nothing. On Canglong Peak, the rarest of the five elements are metal and water, which are exactly what Luohe needs. How could there not be a shortage?

Even if the Heaven and Earth Pavilion has stock, it will definitely be more expensive than other types of spiritual items.

"We don't really need it, it's just a little extra money..."

"That won't work either. Who knows how long the things in the Heaven and Earth Pavilion have been stored there, or even if they're fresh?"

(Qu Yang: I kindly gave you directions, and you start spreading rumors afterward, huh!)

"There's nothing we can do about it," Luo He sighed.

Indeed, as Fang Shi said, although these two kinds of spiritual objects were fixed in form once they were put into the pavilion, they were not as fresh as other spiritual objects before they were put into the pavilion.

"What do you mean there's no way? Wait here, I'll go find some for you later."

I've suffered countless grievances, but how could you possibly wrong my little He Bao? I absolutely refuse to agree to it.

"..."

Is this what they call He Bao?

Oh man.

"Hmm..." Luo He wanted to refuse, but recalling what Elder Liu had told her, she realized that cultivation was something she absolutely could not neglect.

She made up her mind that once she became stronger, she would definitely protect Fang Shi.

"Fangzi, I have to go listen to the elder's lecture."

"Go ahead and study hard, make progress every day."

"By the way, if you come looking for me next time and I'm not here, just go to that building. I live in the first floor, left-hand room. You can wait for me inside."

OK.

"What?"

"It means good."

"Oh...then you must be careful when you go into the mountains." Luohe was used to Fang Shi saying strange things from time to time.

"No problem, I'm terrified."

After bidding farewell to the Luo River, Fang Shi arrived at the house she pointed out.

The wooden houses in the courtyard all have three floors, with each floor divided into two sides, each housing a Heavenly Rank disciple.

Remember the address, so Fang Shi can deliver things to Luohe in the future.

Wait for He Bao, we'll definitely fatten your thighs up until they're really strong, so it'll be more comfortable to hug you.

Hmm... that sounds a bit lewd.
