After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 260 Yunyang Royal Capital

Around noon, a luxurious motorcade slowly approached the tall, weathered east gate of the capital.

Because the carriage was decorated with noble patterns, the city guards asked a few simple questions and then respectfully stepped aside.

"The East Gate of the capital is also known as the 'Tiger Gate' because a hundred years ago, a True Blood Realm Guardian King killed a Crimson Flame Tiger at the border and hung its head on the city gate, hence the name."

However, not long after, the Heavenly King who protected the country was besieged by three demon kings and perished at the border.

In the end, the capital had no choice but to exchange the demon king's head for the body of the guardian king. Lin Qingxiang's tone was tinged with sadness as she said this.

"A demon king with such wisdom?" Shen Xu frowned. On the True Origin Continent, demon beasts only experience a significant increase in intelligence when they enter the Rebirth Realm. Could the demon kings here correspond to the Rebirth Realm?

After thinking about it, Shen Xu felt it was impossible. The True Blood Realm couldn't compare to the Rebirth Realm, so a demon king who could be killed by the True Blood Realm couldn't be compared to the Rebirth Realm.

"Have you ever heard of any monsters that can transform into human form?" Shen Xu asked.

He didn't know about other things, but most demonic beasts could only take human form at the Transformation Realm or above. If there really were Creation Realm demonic beasts in the Blood Central Realm, then its purpose in keeping the Seven Kingdoms alive was worth pondering.

"Like the White Snake Lady?" Xiao Si asked, her eyes shining.

Shen Xu immediately covered his forehead. "More or less!"

"I've never heard of that. The demons I know are all very brutal, and only a few are intelligent. There's no such thing as a good demon like Lady White Snake!" Lin Qingxiang said thoughtfully.

"That's good!" Shen Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Shen, are you and Sister Qingxiang leaving soon?" Xiaosi asked with some reluctance.

Shen Xu looked at the girl in front of him with some doubt. He couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth or lying.

However, this girl's inner self is definitely not as pure and gentle as she pretends to be.

"Your brother Shen and I aren't going to leave the capital. If you miss us, come to Mojinfang in the south of the city. Don't forget to bring a few friends to patronize our business!" Lin Qingxiang smiled and patted Xiao Si's head.

"Come find me once you've settled in, and I'll take you to retrieve the things your mother left you," Shen Xu instructed.

Given Huo Yan's meticulous nature, it's impossible that she wouldn't leave Xiao Si with some spare cultivation resources. And for a child like Xiao Si to go and retrieve those things would easily attract unwanted attention.

"I understand!" Xiao Si nodded seriously.

As the caravan slowly came to a stop, everyone knew it was time to part ways, so they all disembarked from the carriages.

"Lord Shen, I hope you will take good care of these children in the capital from now on," Bi Muning instructed Shen Xu.

"Senior, you flatter me. I will definitely not refuse to help them in any way I can in the future." Shen Xu knew that Bi Muning was just being polite. All three major families of Fumo City had people in the capital, so how could it be his turn to take care of them?

"Xiao Xi, learn more skills at the academy and avoid causing trouble, understand?" Lin Qingxiang instructed solemnly.

"I will definitely listen!" Lin Xi solemnly agreed. He knew that he was different from the other three people; he had no right to make mistakes.

"Sister Qingxiang, don't worry! I will definitely keep an eye on Lin Xi." Yao Xixi said with a smile. Since Xiao Si had been spending the last few days with Lin Qingxiang, she and Lin Xi had a very happy time together.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Xixi. Xiaoxi can be impulsive sometimes, so I hope you can keep an eye on him."

"Sister! I'm old enough to take care of myself." Lin Xi was clearly very dissatisfied with the rights that Lin Qingxiang gave to Yao Xixi.

"Sister Qingxiang, you don't need to worry too much about Xiaoxi. Dad said that if there's a share for me, there's a share for Linxi too. We will definitely not let him suffer any grievances," Bi Xinrong said with a smile.

"Then thank you very much, Uncle Bi," Lin Qingxiang said, bowing.

"Alright, we're not far from the south of the city, let's part ways here! It's best not to delay their enrollment." Bi Muning said, ending the conversation.

Watching the convoy drive away, Lin Qingxiang couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Qingxiang, you don't need to worry too much. Xiaoxi is not an ignorant child, and with the Bi family vouching for him, nothing too serious will happen."

“Xiao Xi has too strong a personality. I’m afraid he’ll suffer a lot inside.”

"Isn't there still me? Since I promised your father I would take care of you in the capital, how could I let you suffer in the capital?" Shen Xu said with a smile.

“Shen Xu…” Lin Qingxiang turned to look at Shen Xu’s face, speechless.

-----------------

The southern part of the city is a bustling commercial hub of Yunyang capital, with all kinds of shops and buildings of different styles scattered throughout.

Outside the wide streets, crowds thronged and vehicles flowed endlessly, creating a lively and bustling scene.

Here, as long as you have enough money, the south of the city can meet almost all the needs and desires of any ordinary person in their daily life.

Linjia Mojinfang is located on the most bustling commercial street in the south of the city, which is also the main thoroughfare of the south.

As Shen Xu approached Mojinfang, he couldn't help but marvel at how successful the Lin family's business had become!

He knew that owning even a small shop in such a prime location was already quite an achievement.

However, the Lin family's Mojinfang occupies a space twice the size of the shops on both sides.

The interior of Mojinfang is extremely luxurious and magnificent, with countless exquisite and gorgeous brocades hanging inside. Most of the customers in the shop are dressed in fine clothes, showing their noble temperament.

Among them were elegant and graceful middle-aged ladies, as well as some young ladies from wealthy families in their prime.

Five or six beautiful and graceful waitresses were moving around the shop, smiling as they introduced the various exquisite brocades hanging in the shop to the customers.

At Yunyang Junior High School, there doesn't seem to be much prejudice against women going out to work.

When he walked down the street, he often saw groups of women showing their faces without any regard for others.

Moreover, as he walked along, he noticed that many of the employees in the shops on both sides of the street who were responsible for greeting customers were mostly beautiful women.

"Miss, what brings you here?" The old shopkeeper, who was almost asleep on the counter, immediately greeted Lin Qingxiang with a smile when he saw her arrive.

"Mr. Fang, how's business lately?" Lin Qingxiang asked with a smile.

"Still the same as always, neither warm nor cold. Is there anything I can do for you this time, Miss?"

"My father secured a place for Xiao Xi at Yunyang Academy, so he sent me to the capital to oversee him and also to try running this shop in the capital."

"That's wonderful! I remember that the late Master had been trying to secure a place for the Master at Yunyang Academy, but he hadn't succeeded. I never expected that Young Master Xi would be so fortunate." Old Master Fang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

“I’m getting old and my energy is waning. It’s really time to hand this shop over to you young people. I remember it’s been a long time since I’ve been back to Fumo City. It’s time to go back and retire.”

"Mr. Fang, Mojinfang can't do without you."

"Besides, I'm new here and don't understand many things. Without your guidance, Elder Fang, I wouldn't have the confidence to run Mojinfang well." Lin Qingxiang gently took Elder Fang's arm and said with a smile.

"Alas! Since Miss needs me, I have no choice but to stay in the capital for a few more years." Old Master Fang sighed softly.
