"Aaaaaah, you bastard!!! Get right here!"

In the room at the end of the corridor, Leng Binglan leaned against the door, quietly listening to the two arguing, a puzzled smile on her face.

Well... it's so great that the rift between my brother and Kang Meng has been cleared up...

239. Stirring things up (5)

"What's wrong with you two... you both have dark circles under your eyes..." Xiao Yulin got up particularly early today. With nothing to do in her room, she wanted to go out for a walk. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Kang Meng and Leng Yihan with dark circles under their eyes.

"I argued with him all night about whether I'm a steel plate or a flat..." Kang Meng said with a look of despair, "He's definitely a straight man..."

"Then I admire your ability to argue with me for so long..." Leng Yihan's expression wasn't much better. "If you hadn't responded and had just turned away, we wouldn't have argued for so long..."

"When did you start arguing?" Xiao Yulin asked as he sat down next to Kang Meng, then put his arm around her and pressed her against his chest.

"Ah... I'm so envious. Kang Meng has face wash first thing in the morning," Leng Yihan said, squinting.

"Want it?" Xiao Yulin.

"If you don't want to, get out." - Leng Yihan.

"..." Xiao Yulin raised an eyebrow and his lips twitched.

"Little girl, it's been so long since I've taught you how to be so stubborn?" Xiao Yulin asked.

"Old woman, are you going to use a tag-team approach?" Leng Yihan asked.

"Hehe..." 2

Xiao Yulin and Leng Yihan smiled slightly, and another verbal battle began.

-

"What's wrong with you three..." Leng Binglan looked speechlessly at the three people slumped on the table.

“Old woman…you cheated…” Leng Yihan.

"Heh... little girl... you're quite something..." Xiao Yulin.

“The two of them… went too far…” Leng Yihan.

"Stop, stop, stop! What did you two do? This dialogue is terrible!" Leng Binglan quickly stopped the two from starting another round of bickering.

"It's nothing... they just had a fight..." Kang Meng only interjected from time to time along the way, and now her strength has almost recovered.

Leng Yihan and Xiao Yulin suddenly stopped looking dejected and sat up straight.

"You guys aren't tired at all?!" said Leng Binglan.

"Instead of saying that... let's think about how we should solve the problem of breakfast?" Leng Yihan changed the subject.

Just as Leng Binglan was about to say not to change the subject, Feixue immediately interjected, "Yeah, what about our breakfast? We're not going to have to make it ourselves, are we..."

"I reckon that's it... I'll go check the kitchen." Leng Yihan stood up and walked towards the kitchen he remembered. He came out shortly after going in.

"There are no ingredients in the kitchen, so we can't cook anything ourselves," Leng Yihan said coldly. "And we already have an induction cooker... so why is our mode of transportation still a horse-drawn carriage?!"

“Who knows? Maybe the Titans just messed up their tech tree,” Kang Meng said. “I don’t know much about this race either.”

“…Alright, let’s go out and find something to eat.” Leng Yihan said as she walked towards the door. Just as she opened the door, she saw someone rushing in from the doorway, heading straight for Leng Yihan.

“…Someone’s coming.” Leng Yihan turned around and reminded her teammates.

“We’re not blind,” Xiao Yulin retorted.

"Huff... huff..." The newcomer was a pretty girl. She rushed to Leng Yihan and tried to say something, but she couldn't get the words out because she was so angry.

"It's alright, don't rush, take your time, we have time," Leng Yihan said.

"Hoo... Yes, I'm sorry, sirs! My name is Gu Miaojuan, and I'm in charge of your meals. I'm so sorry I'm late!" Gu Miaojuan looked very nervous, her head bowed, not daring to look up at Leng Yihan.

"...Everyone, breakfast is ready, no need to go out. Thank you for preparing it for us." Leng Yihan spoke the first half of her words to her companions, and the second half was naturally addressed to Gu Miaojuan.

“…Huh?” Gu Miaojuan was taken aback.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you coming in?" Leng Yihan walked in, turned around and looked at Gu Miaojuan, who was still standing there in a daze, and said.

"Ah... Oh, okay! Please wait a moment, gentlemen, it will be ready soon!" Gu Miaojuan said hurriedly, closing the door behind her as she entered the house.

As soon as they entered, Gu Miaojuan went straight to the kitchen. After Leng Yihan sat down next to Leng Binglan, she noticed that all five of them seemed to be looking at something, glancing around.

"...What are you looking at?"

"Hmm... I feel like there's something weird about this..." Yi Tianzhai said, "but I don't know what it is..."

"...Brother, aren't you curious about why Gu Miaojuan was late?" Leng Binglan asked Leng Yihan, turning her gaze away from her own.

"Huh? It's alright, what's there to be curious about?" Leng Yihan shrugged. "It might just make others feel awkward."

"That's because you weren't observant enough, brother..." Leng Binglan was a little speechless. "Didn't you notice the small bruise on the part of her arm that was exposed?"

"...Oh?" Leng Yihan's lips suddenly curled into a smile. "So, something interesting is about to happen?"

"Maybe, it just depends on whether we're willing to cause trouble," Kang Meng said.

"Let's split into two groups. One group can explore the city, and the other can go see what happened," Feixue suggested. "My helpful spirit is already burning brightly!"

"Actually, you just want to make things worse, don't you..." Leng Yihan complained. "I really don't want Feixue to go and see what's going on."

"Huh?! That's too much! How can you be so sure I'd do that?!" Feixue suddenly stood up and said with dissatisfaction.

"If you don't do it this way, you won't be yourself, right?" the five people said in unison.

"Hey—I can accept that about them! We've only known each other for a day, how can you be so sure?" Feixue turned her gaze to Yi Tianzhai, who had just said the same thing to her.

“Miss Feixue, I consider myself to have a very good eye for people. Although you have a gentle and considerate side, you are mostly carefree and thick-skinned. You might actually do something that would escalate the situation, so I don’t agree with you going to see what happened.” Yi Tianzhai calmly dealt with Feixue.

Compared to Yi Tianzhai, whose actual age is unknown and who frequently deals with all sorts of old monsters, a young girl in her early twenties is really much weaker. She was speechless after just a few exchanges.

"I...I...I..." Feixue was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Are you going to say something like 'I'm never talking to you guys again!' next?" Leng Yihan gave him a look that said, "I think you stole my thunder."

"Pah! No way! Otherwise, I'd definitely say 'it's actually good' in the end!" Feixue immediately denied. "What I want to say is—if you don't let me go, I'm logging off!"

"..." The five people stared straight at her.

"It smells so good..." Feixue sat down, feeling like crying.

Now that we've decided on the general objectives, let's talk about the exploration team's goals first. The main objective is to check out the general terrain of the city and the trial grounds that Roach mentioned yesterday.

As the six chatted, Leng Yihan turned around and glanced at the kitchen. Sure enough, not long after, Gu Miaojuan came out carrying several bowls of porridge.

After running back and forth several times, Gu Miaojuan finally brought out all the food. Although Leng Yihan had asked if she needed any help, she hurriedly refused.

"Well... breakfast is ready for everyone... I'll be going now..." Gu Miaojuan said, trying to leave first.

"Wait... have you had breakfast?" Leng Yihan suddenly asked.

"I, I've already eaten!" Gu Miaojuan nodded quickly upon hearing this.

"Let me ask you a question. You're in charge of our meals, right? Why don't you just make a whole set and help us with the kitchenware after we finish eating?" Leng Yihan said.

"But...but...I still have some things to do..." Gu Miaojuan's face turned pale upon hearing this.

“...Alright then, since you have things to do, I can’t force you to stay any longer. Let’s go… By the way, you’ll be back later to clean up these kitchen utensils, right?” Leng Yihan said.

"Yes, that's right. So, gentlemen, I'll take my leave now..." Gu Miaojuan said and turned to leave in a hurry. Leng Yihan wasn't in a rush either. She picked up a few steamed buns and followed her out.

Breakfast consisted of a bowl of meat porridge, steamed buns, and fried dough sticks for everyone. But that was fine, since Leng Yihan didn't like eating anything too meaty or fishy for breakfast.

"Should we chase after them now?" Leng Binglan knew Leng Yihan's intentions when she saw him get up; this was just a symbolic question.

"Kang Meng, Bing Lan, come with me. Yi Tianzhai, Yu Xiao, and Fei Xue, you three stay here and continue eating. Also, be careful," Leng Yihan said.

"No problem." Yi Tianzhai gave an OK sign.

"Let's go." Leng Yihan pushed open the door and ran out immediately. As soon as he stepped out of the manor, he saw Gu Miaojuan's back. Gu Miaojuan was a girl after all, so she couldn't have run far. However, it seemed that she was not a member of the Titan race. He didn't think that Titan girls would be so fragile.

As Taro mentioned before, a group of humans fleeing to the Forest of the Dead encountered them... Perhaps most Titans are friendly towards humans, but not all of them are...

"Follow her, but be careful not to get spotted," Leng Yihan said immediately, leaving the manor and cautiously following behind Gu Miaojuan.

Although it was morning, the crowds were gradually increasing, which made it easier for Leng Yihan and her group to track them. After walking for a long time, Gu Miaojuan still hadn't found the three of them, which made Leng Yihan even more certain that she might be human. After all, they had been tracking for so long and still hadn't found her... If she were a Titan, she would be too slow to react.

According to Leng Binglan in the book, the Titans themselves have considerable physical advantages and extremely strong senses, but Gu Miaojuan did not discover the three of them even though they did not hide their presence... It is indeed a bit of a stretch to say that they are Titans.

Just as Leng Yihan was wondering how much longer they would have to walk like this, Gu Miaojuan suddenly turned around and walked into a side alley. Normally, no one would walk through this alley, and now there was no one else in it except Gu Miaojuan. After walking up, the three of them looked at each other and decided to keep a greater distance. Using the obstacles in the alley as cover, they carefully followed.

"Bang..." Suddenly, a sound like a bottle falling to the ground came from behind the three of them. They all subconsciously turned around and looked, but there was nothing there.

Realizing that the three of them might also be being followed, Leng Yihan exchanged glances with the other two women and decided to pretend they didn't know.

Looking back into the alley, Leng Yihan realized that Gu Miaojuan was gone...

"What the hell?" Leng Yihan was shocked. Although the alley was not particularly long, Gu Miaojuan was not fast enough to run out of the alley in the time it took Leng Yihan to turn around.

"Let's go and see," Kang Meng said, getting up and carefully walking towards the location.

Leng Yihan immediately lowered her body and walked forward. The three of them walked quietly through the alley. If anyone saw them, they would definitely think they were thieves...

“Wait… there’s a sound…” Kang Meng suddenly said.

Leng Yihan immediately focused on listening and walked a little further forward. Soon he could hear the sound.

"What else do you want from me?!"

"You humans are nothing but lowly creatures. What can you do to me if I don't give him the antidote?"

Gu Miaojuan and a man's voice.

"You bastard!!!"

"Little Cow, stop!"

"Hmph, everyone says you humans are just spineless cowards... Just watch him die, hahahaha..."

This guy...

Leng Yihan's gaze shifted to the iron gate not far away, and the voice came from behind it.

"Who's the spineless bastard! Go to hell!"

"calf!"

"just you?"
