After figuring this out, she clamped her legs around the horse's belly, whipped the horse's butt with the whip in her hand, and galloped away.

A cloud of dust flew by, and the sound of horse hooves and whips intertwined.

The autumn wind blew across her face, making her feel as if she was in another world.

It had been a long time since she had felt this feeling of riding on a horse. It was before the end of the modern world, when she went on vacation and galloped freely on the prairie.

The feeling of riding a horse and whipping it is different from driving a car. This kind of unrestrained and unrestrained running is particularly refreshing.

She slowly slowed down when the horse was about to approach the capital. Leng Youran rode the horse, controlling the speed and walking slowly on the street.

This was the first time she had seen everything in the capital so directly. Before, she had only taken a quick glance and passed by many things.

It now seemed that the capital city was indeed prosperous, with shops standing next to each other and the streets wide enough to accommodate three carriages running side by side.

The streets and alleys are filled with hawking sounds.

A peaceful atmosphere.

"Sigh~~~"

"Snapped....."

Two discordant voices interrupted the original shouting on the street.

Many passers-by stopped and moved towards the direction of the noise. Leng Youran tightened the reins and looked back curiously.

"You want to die? You don't even see whose carriage this is. You dare to ram our carriage, you bastard? Let me tell you, if you hurt our young lady, your life won't be enough to compensate you."

A burly man in servant's clothes was holding a horse whip and glaring at a woman who was sitting on the ground in front of the carriage with a child in her arms.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The woman's pleading voice continued to be heard, and the man who looked like a servant had a look of disdain on his face. He swung the whip in his hand and hit the woman hard.

"Ah..." The woman let out a scream, causing the child in his arms to burst into tears.

"Why are you crying? I'll spank you if you keep crying. Let me tell you, this is the price you pay for bumping into our young lady. Luckily, our young lady is kind-hearted. Otherwise, your child would have rushed out like that and we would have killed him. Humph..."

"Alright, stop talking to a bunch of worthless people. The young lady is in a hurry to enter the palace, so hurry up."

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a maid stuck her head out and yelled at the coachman who was still cursing outside.

When the driver saw her, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face, and he bent his body. "Yes, yes, yes, Sister Taoer, wait a moment, I'll be leaving soon."

The maid named Tao'er angrily lowered the curtain. Seeing her like this, the coachman stopped arguing with the woman. He returned to the carriage, jumped on, raised the whip in his hand again, and lashed the horse's butt hard.

The horse was suddenly whipped and became a little irritable, its front hooves lifted into the air. Leng Youran saw the horse's front hooves step on the woman who was whipped, and he felt a little reluctant and didn't care about anything else. He disappeared from the horse's back in a flash, and when he stood up, he had a child and the woman in his hands.

After settling the two of them on the side of the street, he glanced at the woman with two whip marks on her body, bent down and whispered, "Madam? Are you okay?" While asking, he had already turned the wood-type power in his hand and moved it around the woman's body.

The woman, who was originally a little weak, slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a handsome young man.

"Thank you, benefactor."

"You're welcome. Where is your home? Do you want me to take you back?"

When the woman came to her senses, she did not rush to check her body. Instead, she looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she found the child was still there. "Thank you for what you did today, my benefactor. I'm fine. We'll go back now."

The woman stood up as she spoke, and after standing up, she did not forget to pick up the child next to Leng Youran.

Leng Youran knew that the woman probably didn't want her to know where her home was, so she didn't force her. She had used her wood-based abilities to treat her, and even though she was still very weak, she could still sustain herself until she returned home.

Before leaving, the woman supported Leng Youran slightly. The child in her arms had stopped crying and was staring at Leng Youran with bright eyes.

Suddenly the child laughed.

Showing a few teeth in the mouth.

The woman noticed the child's strange behavior and looked at him in shock, then looked at Leng Youran.

"Xiao... Chong'er, do you like Bengong?"

The child called Chong'er nodded slightly, "Yeah, it looks good."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand, wanting Leng Youran to hug him.

Leng Youran was startled by his sudden action, but she still reached out her hand involuntarily and took the child who was leaning towards her.

"Hehehe..." After Chong'er fell into Leng Youran's arms, the crisp laughter rang out again.

The woman didn't know why, but she secretly wiped away her tears because of his laughter.

Leng Youran was puzzled and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she looked at Chong'er who was playing with her hair in her arms, "Your name is Chong'er?"

"Yeah! The nest is called insects."

"Hehehe, how old is Chong'er?" Faced with such a soft and sweet child, Leng Youran unconsciously slowed down his speech.

"The mountain is shattered!"

"Three years old, Chong'er, remember this from now on. Don't rush out from the street like you did today. It's very dangerous, okay?"

Chong'er raised his head in confusion. It was obvious that he didn't understand what Leng Youran meant by danger. He just pointed in the direction the carriage left, his face wrinkled. "Bad, she's bad..."

The woman was startled by what Chong'er said. She stepped forward and covered Chong'er's mouth. "Chong'er, be good. We won't say things like this anymore, okay?"

Chong'er looked at the woman in confusion. When he saw her red eyes, he seemed to notice her sadness and nodded.

Seeing that he understood, the woman withdrew her hand and looked at Leng Youran, "My benefactor, I'm sorry for delaying you. I will take Chong'er away now. If I have the chance, I will definitely repay you for saving my life." It's not that she didn't want to repay him now, but she had unspeakable difficulties.

"It's a small matter. Go back now. Please keep an eye on the child from now on."

After that, she handed Chong'er in her arms to the woman. Just as she was about to put Chong'er into the woman's arms, Chong'er tightened her neck, twisting his body and saying, "Hold, hold, Xiangxiang, Wolf..."

The woman was obviously frightened. When the child said this, her body trembled noticeably. She looked at Leng Youran with an apologetic look in her eyes, "I'm sorry, benefactor. Maybe this child likes beautiful people."

She knew that saying this would not dispel the suspicion of the people in front of her, but she knew that she could not let the young master stay any longer. If he stayed, then they...

Leng Youran shook his head nonchalantly, "It's okay." Then he tentatively pushed Chong'er into the woman's arms. This time, Chong'er held his neck tighter, and kept saying, "Woo woo woo woo, bad, bad, I want Xiangxiang, wolf, wolf..."
