The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

After finishing grilling and eating all the skewered lamb and seafood, Yue Li took out a small watermelon from her space and asked Jin Moyu to cut it open to cut through the richness.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yue Li watched as the sunset gradually faded away. Only torches or bonfires remained to illuminate the other tents. Seeing that Jin Moyu had also lit the torches in front of their tent, she then brought up the message she had received from Sheng Yifan earlier: "Yifan sent a message saying that he was handling some matters at his shop in Yucheng and would come to find us after he finished. I wonder if he has arrived yet?"

Yucheng is the city closest to the grassland. People here sometimes bring their piles of furs to Yucheng to sell and then use them to buy household items.

Originally, Yue Li was going to pick up Sheng Yifan after receiving the message, but Sheng Yifan said that the matter at the shop was a bit tricky and he might be delayed for two days. So Yue Li put the matter out of her mind, thinking that Sheng Yifan would send her a message after he finished dealing with it.

Several more days have passed, and there's still no news.

"Don't worry, Yueyue. Maybe Yi Fan is already on his way." Jin Moyu immediately comforted Yue Li when he saw her frowning.

Yue Li wasn't worried about Sheng Yifan's ability to handle things. After all, he managed the huge Sheng family and often traveled around the world. Just two months ago, she received news that Sheng Yifan was still checking shops in the west, but this time she received news that he had already gone to the far north.

She was just worried that after Sheng Yifan arrived on the grassland, he wouldn't know which tribe they belonged to and might run in the wrong direction.

No sooner had she finished expressing her concerns than a paper crane flew from the dim sky to the area illuminated by the torches, and then, under the watchful eyes of the three, flew directly to Yue Li's front.

Yue Li had been receiving messages from several other people recently, which didn't surprise her. She was just curious about who sent the message this time.

To everyone's surprise, after inputting spiritual power, they heard Sheng Yifan's voice, the same one they had just been discussing: "Ah Li, can you come out for a moment? I'm currently leading a caravan, not far from your tribe. Well, actually, I'm not sure if you're in this tribe. I came here following the spirit paper crane."

Yue Li: ……

Shao Qi: ...

Jin Moyu:......

They were all very surprised to hear what the paper crane said, because the speed at which the paper crane flew was something that they could not catch up with, even if they were riding a horse or flying on a sword, or even if they had only used spiritual energy for a short time.

After her initial surprise, Yue Li immediately extended her divine sense to explore outside the tribe. Sure enough, she saw a caravan with lanterns lit up, parked some distance away from the tribe. She even saw Sheng Yifan, who was standing at the front, leading a horse and covered in dust.

And this convoy has quite a few people!

When Yue Li withdrew her divine sense, she noticed that Chief Chaer and the others from the tribe had appeared outside the tent, silently watching the direction where Sheng Yifan and the others were.

Knowing that Chief Chaer and the others had also discovered this, Yue Li quickly stood up and said, "It seems that Yi Fan has really come looking for us. Let's go and pick them up."

As she spoke, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, she used her spiritual power to leap through several tents and stopped at the corner of the tent where the Chaer chief was. After straightening her clothes, she and Shao Qi and Jin Moyu also stopped beside her before the three of them came out together.

"Chief Cha'er!" Seeing Chief Cha'er looking warily in the direction of Sheng Yifan's convoy, Yue Li greeted him as soon as she came out.

"Why are Lady Yue and the two young masters out so late?" Upon seeing Yue Li and the other two, Chief Chaer's initially wary gaze immediately softened, and he was also very curious as to why the three of them were here.

It's important to know that, unless there's a large bonfire feast, tribes on the grasslands usually return to their tents after dark and won't come out unless there's a particularly urgent matter.

During the time that Yue Li and the other two stayed here, they didn't look for him much. The strangest thing was that they bought a lot more mutton and mare's milk wine than usual, enough for more than a dozen people each time. This made the people in the tribe curious about whether the three of them could finish it.

However, everyone observed that the three of them showed no signs of throwing away the leftover mutton.

Moreover, the three of them rarely interacted with the people in the tribe. Sometimes they would ride out on horseback and stay out all day.

They would buy whole sheep that had already been cleaned and prepared, and some families were even re-brewing mare's milk wine because of the three men's large purchases, which brought a lot of income to the tribe.

Especially those brewers who made the best mare's milk wine, they bought so much that they didn't even keep any for themselves.

As the chieftain of this tribe, he was naturally well aware of these developments.

That's why the three of them appearing here at this time made Chief Chaer particularly curious.

“Chief Chaer must have noticed that a caravan has arrived outside the tribe. It was one of my husbands who came looking for us. He wasn’t sure if we were here, so he sent a message asking us to come out and meet him. It’s so late, we’re really sorry to have bothered everyone.” Yue Li’s words were not only directed at Chief Chaer, but also at the others who had turned their attention to them because of their arrival.

Upon hearing Yue Li's words, Chief Chaer suddenly realized, "I was wondering why there would be a caravan traveling on the grassland at this time. It turns out they're here to find Lady Yue."

"Okay, we'll go pick them up right away. Don't worry, Chief Chaer, I'll make sure they keep a low profile." Yue Li said, smiling and nodding to Chief Chaer before leading Jin Moyu and Shao Qi slowly toward Sheng Yifan's convoy.

Fortunately, when they came out, Jin Moyu had thought of taking two torches. Now that they had lit the torches, they could also illuminate the figures of the three of them.

As Sheng Yifan stood at the front of the caravan, leading his horse, his heart began to race as the torchlight began to move toward them as the three of them left the tribe's territory.

After all, this meant that Yue Li was indeed in this tribe and they hadn't gone to the wrong place. So he threw the reins he was holding to Lin Zhao beside him and strode towards the light from the torch.

As they drew closer, Sheng Yifan was able to see Yue Li's face clearly.

Overwhelmed by longing after months apart, Sheng Yifan instantly channeled his spiritual power, appearing before Yue Li in a flash. He reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace, burying his face in her neck and whispering, "Ah Li, Ah Li..."

Yue Li had been keeping a close eye on the situation with her divine sense, and she naturally saw all of Sheng Yifan's actions. When Sheng Yifan suddenly appeared and hugged her, Yue Li naturally reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Jin Moyu and Shao Qi looked at the two people hugging each other and tacitly turned their gazes to the side.
