"From today onwards, Little Wolfie will be my manor"s guardian. Within this manor, all of you have to obey his words. Without my permission, the spirit herbs at the backhill not allowed to be consumed. If I find out that you have disobeyed my orders, I will dismiss the culprit."

The spirit beasts were stunned, exchanging gaze between themselves.

Dismiss? What does that mean?

Feng Ruqing"s expression grimed.

"Dismiss means… I will cancel my contract with you and release you back to the beast mountain. Plus, you will never be able to receive your reward anymore."

After hearing those words, the spirit beasts began to feel anxious. They were all here to feast on the Divine-Spirit Fruit. If they were dismissed, then they would never get their hands on the Divine-Spirit Fruit!

"Of course, if all of you were to listen and obey, I wouldn"t deny you your privileges. Instead, I might even give you an extra meal portion."

Feng Ruqing smiled happily.

"Awooooo!"

The snow wolf began howling. Compared to the happiness in taking over the position as the guardian of the manor, it was more elated hearing that it would receive more meals.

"Little Wolfie, bring them to the hill behind, and let the Four-armed Ape teach them how to sow spirit herbs."

Feng Ruqing relaxed her jaw.

Since now that the manor has enough spirit beasts, she should be teaching the Four-armed Ape the spirit herb dish recipe.

Well… Since making herbal dishes was different from sowing spirit herbs, it required someone who could handle kitchen utensils, and the only candidate available for this was the Four-armed Ape…

"Plus… I don"t know when the state preceptor will be back…"

The young lady gently sighed. She cast a distant gaze at the crescent moon. It was during nights like these that the scenery looked as if she were staring at a divine being"s cold back.

The state preceptor clearly stated that he would only leave for a month. So hasn"t he… returned?

She desperately wishes to sleep by his side… What should she do?

...

The night was cold and lonely…

The peaceful gleaming moon shone right through the thick canopy of tree leaves, s.h.i.+ning upon the man"s pure white s.h.i.+rt.

His silhouette was that of a divine being, pure and not bound by the materials of the mortal world. Beautiful beyond compare.

It was just that…

But on his mind, he was not as cool and collected. It was like he had seen through it all—as though no one was worthy of his attention.

"I"ve finally found you…"

A charming laughter burst out from behind.

"Nan Xian…"

Nan Xian exudes a coldness which made others feel distant, unable to get close no matter what…

"What are you doing here?"

Under the moonlight, the woman"s red dress radiated. Her smile was enchanting—irresistible to men.

"I"ve heard that you"ve been to a place called… Liu Yun Kingdom or something? Even became a little state preceptor. I even heard that you"re looking for a woman… I know my own worth… Hehe… I"m just curious to see what kind of woman would make you feel… this way?"

Nan Xian turned around.

The moonlight landed on his masculine face. Beautiful like a divine being.

He donned a white s.h.i.+rt, which swayed in the wind, looking just like a painting.

Her eyes would not stop ogling. Regretfully, she knew…

A guy like this… He was definitely… Never going to marry another wife…

In this lifetime, this kind of man would never be tainted by women…

This was his fate…

"Nan Xian…"

The young lady giggled and slowly advanced toward Nan Xian.

But she stopped about five meters away from him.

This was the state preceptor Nan Xian"s strength. He would not let anyone come too close to him. Even if it were the young lady… She did not have the courage to push the boundaries.
