My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

Three seconds after she ate it, chewed it, and then swallowed it, she collapsed in Leng Yihan's direction without warning.

"Heh... Easy... This guy may be a girl, but he's actually obsessed with women. He really can't take his eyes off cute girls." Leng Yihan said with a proud look on her face.

"...Leng Yihan, you...really like wearing women's clothing?"

"Get out! I don't like it!!!"

After Leng Yihan finished refuting, she gently handed Leng Qingyue to Leng Zhenmo to hold, saying, "You hold her for me while I go in to get something. Then my goal will be achieved."

"Oh..." Hearing Leng Yihan's words, Leng Zhenmo knew that things were about to get back on track, so he didn't say anything more and reached out to take Leng Qingyue.

"Lu Youmei, is it in that house? The one Leng Qingyue just went into?"

"Hmm, it should contain a token of the Assassin's Guild. If you find it, it'll be like having an extra talisman..."

"What exactly is the purpose of this token?"

"Hehe... People with the token can commission the Assassin's Guild to perform a task for that person for free. As long as they are strong enough, they will try. This is not limited to murder. You can even commission one of their skilled dressers to impersonate you and escape undetected." Lu Youmei gave Leng Yihan a general overview of the benefits of the token.

"Looks like it's a good thing..." Leng Yihan said, her soul perception already spreading out to search the pastry shop.

"Has it been found?"

"Why didn't you help me find it? You could have found it much faster, couldn't you?"

"Hehe...it's not because I want to give you a good workout~" Lu Youmei.

"Alright, alright..." Leng Yihan had no choice but to continue searching. However, he did not disappoint Lu Youmei's expectations. In less than ten seconds, Leng Yihan found the location of the token.

The token was a small knife, which was actually quite easy to recognize. Most importantly, Leng Yihan had already seen what the token looked like.

"Um...she's in the room now..."

Faintly, Leng Yihan heard Leng Qingyue's voice. She quickly took out a box containing the token from under a floorboard under the table in the pastry shop. After taking out the token knife, Leng Yihan took out another knife from her sleeve and put it inside.

"Won't it be discovered?"

"Don't worry, once the token is used, it can't be stopped. She won't test it," Lu Youmei said.

However, the footsteps were already getting close to the door. It was too late for Leng Yihan to go out now, or Leng Qingyue would definitely become suspicious.

So we have no choice but to...

Leng Yihan's gaze fell on the numerous Imperial Cakes on the table, and she fell into deep thought.

"Bang!" The door was opened, and Leng Yihan, who had her back to the door, trembled all over. She didn't turn around and stopped moving.

Leng Zhenmo followed behind Leng Qingyue, watching Leng Yihan with some nervousness. She hadn't expected Leng Qingyue to wake up so quickly. She instinctively told Leng Qingyue which room Leng Yihan was in, but...

I'm so sorry, Yihan... I'm so useless... I failed to complete the task you assigned me...

"Sister Yihan, what are you doing?" Leng Qingyue forced a smile and slowly walked over.

Leng Yihan slowly turned around, showing Leng Qingyue her face.

"Pfft..." Upon seeing this, the first one to be unable to hold back was Leng Zhenmo, who was originally tense, and chuckled.

After a moment of confusion, Leng Qingyue burst out laughing, "What? So you were just worried about not having enough food?"

"Um... I'm sorry... I just... wanted to see if there were any other delicious pastries that I hadn't seen before..." Leng Yihan reluctantly put down the Yulin cake after finally swallowing the whole thing stuffed in her mouth.

"You should have told me sooner!"

"I... I saw that you looked very sleepy, Sister Qingyue... so I didn't dare to wake you... but in the end I was attracted by these Imperial Cakes..." Leng Yihan tried her best to look pitiful and said in a low voice.

"Okay~ Do you know what strawberry cake is?"

"Hmm... a strawberry cake?"

“Yes! I’ll get it for you now. You can go out first and wait patiently outside.” Leng Qingyue said with a smile.

"Yes, I understand, Sister Qingyue!" Leng Yihan nodded, turned around, took Leng Zhenmo's hand, and walked out.

After seeing the two leave, Leng Qingyue silently closed the door, while Leng Yihan quietly leaned close to Leng Zhenmo's ear and whispered something.

"Found it... We can leave anytime..."

317 Continue the journey

After easily stealing what they wanted, Leng Yihan and Leng Zhenmo took the opportunity to say goodbye to Leng Qingyue and immediately returned to their lodgings.

"Why did we have to steal this thing...?"

“It’s all for survival, and besides… do you think I’m joking when I say I can save your life? Believe me, if you don’t take this token, you’ll definitely be surrounded by a bunch of assassins in a while,” Lu Youmei said.

"Huh? That's terrifying..." Leng Yihan muttered, carefully putting away the small knife keepsake.

"Let's continue according to the original plan," Leng Yihan asked Lu Youmei for her opinion.

"Pfft, why are you asking me? I don't care, but I think you could go back to your family home and see if you can run into your mother~"

"But... is Mom really from the borderlands? I can't sense any energy fluctuations from her at all..."

"Isn't this method easy? I can do it too." Just as Leng Yihan was wondering about this, Lu Youmei calmly said, "The simplest way to make yourself look exactly like an ordinary person is to have an ordinary person's body. Don't forget that the Leng family is a powerful family that has stood in the Imperial Gate for many years. Isn't it easy for them to create a human body?"

"Then let's go take a look. Let's go to the most prosperous part of Yumen, the place where the Leng family was founded, Yucheng."

-

Later, Leng Yihan was lucky enough to hitch a ride with Leng Bu, who was also going back to his family home, so he naturally gave Leng Yihan a ride along the way.

But carriages... do you guys allocate your technology points to such off-target... is it really necessary to have carriages?

Leng Yihan thought to herself, speechless.

What Leng Yihan didn't know was that the main reason for restricting transportation was actually the environment of Yumen. Yumen was mainly composed of forests and plains, with forests making up the majority. Sometimes, a horse-drawn carriage could even outrun a car.

After all, cars can't just drive freely in the forest without causing any damage to themselves.

Incidentally, Leng Yihan had already changed back into her original clothes, and was wearing a very obvious men's outfit. Although she saw Leng Qingyue again in the hall, she did not recognize her. As for Leng Zhenmo, whom Leng Qingyue recognized... she had already slipped into the carriage.

To this, Leng Yihan would like to say: I'm sorry, Miss Qingyue, but in order to save my life, I will accept your dagger as a token...

Leng Yihan and the others boarded the carriage and slowly left the town. After leaving the town, the carriage gradually increased its speed, leaving the plains and entering the forest.

"The Leng family has a total of seventeen subsidiary families, scattered throughout the Eight Gates. Fortunately, our subsidiary family is the closest to the main family; it only takes two days' journey by carriage." On the carriage, Leng Bukai was explaining the Leng family to the four people…

"Two days... I hope nothing bad will happen in these two days..." Xu Xiaoxiao said with her hands clasped together and a devout expression.

Girl... that's practically jinxing me... and what god do you even believe in...?

"Don't worry about that. It's actually very safe along the way. I've traveled so many times and I've never encountered any attacks. Even if I did, it would be easy to deal with," Leng Bukai said confidently.

Okay...something must have definitely gone wrong...

"We...should prepare to prevent a sneak attack..."

-

"You're back again, Leng family. It's been more than ten years." A woman whose appearance was almost identical to Leng Yihan's when she was dressed as a woman, except for her temperament and the fact that she was much more mature, stood at the entrance of the Leng family, a look of nostalgia on her face.

When she left, she was just a young girl, and she ran away against her father's orders.

Now she's back as a married woman... and has a seventeen-year-old child. I wonder what her father will think when he finds out; he'll probably be furious!

Leng Yiyi chuckled. This was her, the former little vixen of the Leng family.

"After a while, bring Yihan back to visit. It's time he knew about these things..."

As Leng Yiyi pondered this, she climbed the steps before her, and at the very top, standing tall within the imperial city, was the Leng family's ancestral home...

"Hey, who are you! Stop right now!" Leng Yiyi had only climbed halfway when a pair of guards stopped her.

"Hmm...are they newcomers? Familiar yet unfamiliar faces..." Looking at the two strange new faces, Leng Yiyi shook her head helplessly. "That makes sense...those two have been working there for a long time, their layoffs were inevitable...after all, they weren't keeping a close eye on me and I escaped~"

"Hey, you bastard, answer me right now!"

"Could you please move aside? I need to go into the Leng family's residence for a moment," Leng Yiyi said with a smile.

If the security guards from the past saw this smile, they would definitely feel a chill down their spines and have a bad feeling. Behind this smile, there is a high probability that Leng Yiyi is about to do something to hurt someone.

"The Leng family are no ordinary people..." The gatekeeper was about to continue speaking when a terrifying pressure descended upon him.

From the woman in front of me.

“Fifteenth rank…?” one of the guards muttered, a look of despair crossing his face, but it quickly changed. “Even if you are fifteenth rank… in front of the patriarch… you are still…”

Before the gatekeeper could finish speaking, a token appeared before his eyes, and at the same time, the oppressive aura that had been suppressing the two gatekeepers was withdrawn in an instant.

But this time they didn't make a move, because they saw the large "cold" character on the token.

Why does this woman have this token?

"Heh... I'm not a little girl anymore. I can't do those childish things anymore..." Leng Yiyi's playful expression disappeared, replaced by a calm demeanor.

Before her eyes, an aura that was no less powerful than hers, no, even stronger, appeared.

Although it was only put away in an instant, it also shows that the person Leng Yiyi was waiting for had arrived.

"……Father."

"..." Leng Yiyi raised her head and looked at the 'middle-aged man' floating in mid-air in the distance, looking down at her. Of course, that was only in appearance.

"I'm back, Father..."

-

Night fell quickly, and Leng Yihan and her group's carriage came to a stop. They were now by a lake in a forest where the horses were drinking water peacefully, while Leng Yihan and her group sat around a campfire to warm themselves.

Oh, no, Qing sat down to the side, staring blankly at the huge, clear but bottomless lake in front of her.

"What's wrong?" Leng Yihan braved the cold wind and left the campfire, sitting down next to Qing.

"I'm a little... homesick," Qing said softly.

"...Do you miss me?" Leng Yihan suddenly asked.

"How come..." Qing was about to retort, and also wanted to see how this guy had suddenly mustered up the courage to tease him, but what he saw was a pair of blood-red eyes.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Big...Big sister!"

"Hehe... It's me, it's me~ You bastard..."

Upon noticing that Leng Yihan had transformed into Lu Youmei, Qing immediately became quite lively, snuggling into Leng Yihan's arms with an expression of enjoyment.
