Chapter 1027: Spoiled

The duo walked all the way to the city gate.
The guards in charge of the gate were split into two teams—one on each side—and they all held a longsword. They all wore the same uniform with an identical pattern embroidered on their left chest area.
Chu Liuyue glanced at it.
It was exactly the symbol that surfaced on the curtain before they came in—it was Grotto-Heaven Cliff’s totem!
The city gate was clearly quite crowded, with many people coming in and out.
Chu Liuyue brought Dugu Mobao and walked forward.
The two of them were very eye-catching among the crowd.
Chu Liuyue was wearing a mask, so her appearance was ordinary and didn’t draw much attention to herself.
The key was Dugu Mobao.
His hair and eyes were purple, looking very adorable. Additionally, his eyes were incredibly beautiful and clean. Anybody who saw them would love them.
When such a small person walked on the streets, almost a hundred percent of the people would turn around.
With more people looking at them, Chu Liuyue gradually felt that it was inconvenient. She was most worried that this little ancestor would throw a tantrum if these people continued staring.
From the corner of her eye, she saw that Dugu Mobao’s face was cold and that his eyes were filled with enduring anger.
“Aiyo! Whose child is this!? Why are you so cute!?” When a lady went up to talk to him and stretched out her hands, wanting to touch Dugu Mobao’s cheeks, his face finally darkened completely.
Chu Liuyue saw that the situation was amiss, so she hurriedly pulled him behind her and smiled apologetically at the lady. “I’m sorry. My kid is quite introverted, and he’s scared of seeing strangers.”
That lady was very disappointed because she couldn’t touch the chubby face, but since the other party had already said this, she couldn’t continue disturbing them. Then, she walked away reluctantly.
Even when she was a distance away, she kept turning around to look at them.
Dugu Mobao coldly said, “If you didn’t stop me, I wouldn’t have let her off so easily!”
“She doesn’t have any ill intentions!” Chu Liuyue sighed and could only advise him kindly. Any strong warrior that ends up in this state and even has strangers touching their faces will be very upset.
“Anyway, we’ll be leaving very soon. Just endure it for a while, okay?”
Dugu Mobao was enraged. She looks like she’s coaxing a child even more…
He turned around and left in frustration.
Since he hasn’t objected, it means that he has accepted it! Chu Liuyue heaved a sigh of relief secretly. Then, she thought for a while and said, “Actually, you can think about the good aspects. If you weren’t born good-looking, they wouldn’t look at you like this either! It’ll be fine when you’re used to it!”
Anyway, she was already accustomed to ignoring all sorts of gazes from pa.s.sersby.
Dugu Mobao knitted his brows. Of course, I’m not used to it. Since when did people dare to look at me like that—unless they were tired of living! However, I can’t say these words to her now.
After much thinking, he could only endure it.
…
Under quite a few people’s stares, the duo finally arrived at the city gate and was about to go in.
The guard standing at the frontmost glanced at Chu Liuyue. “Name.”
“Dugu Yue.”
Once she said this, that guard’s expression changed slightly.
The person in charge of name-recording also looked over. “You’re… the Dugu Yue that came from outside the G.o.d Residence Realm?”
Chu Liuyue nodded in confusion.
But at that moment, the surrounding noises immediately hushed! Almost everyone looked over, and everyone’s gazes landed on Chu Liuyue!
Her internal alarm was ringing, but she was still calm and collected on the outside. “Why? Is there a problem?”
“That’s not it.” The guard in charge of checking smiled in an ambiguous manner as he sized Chu Liuyue up again. “It’s just that Grotto-Heaven Cliff hasn’t had people coming from outside in a while, so we’re a little surprised.”
Even though he said it relaxingly, Chu Liuyue felt that things weren’t this simple. The surrounding people’s reactions… are strange.
“Since Officer Lin Xiao let you in, you can just go in.” That guard then asked for Dugu Mobao’s name and raised his chin toward the person in charge of name-recording.
That person wrote down the duo’s names.
“Okay, you can go in!”
Chu Liuyue felt suspicious but didn’t bother with them as she directly brought Dugu Mobao in after thanking them.
When their figures left, the crowd started buzzing again. “Heh, so she came from outside! Our Grotto-Heaven Cliff hasn’t had people coming from outside the borders in a while, right?”
“She looks young and ordinary. I didn’t expect her to really come in…”
“Who knows how old the people who barged in from outside are? She might even be hundreds of years old!”
“Who cares how old or young she is? She’s really daring to come here alone! Such a meek sheep who doesn’t know that wolves are all around her… She has much to suffer when she goes in!”
“Guess how long she can last? Half a month? Ten days?”
“Hmph! A person from outside the border carrying a child, and she’s even a woman. If she can last for a day, I’ll call her capable! This time, our Grotto-Heaven Cliff has a good show to watch!
…
After walking a distance, Chu Liuyue’s group of two turned into an isolated path. The girl then asked, “What are they saying?”
When I left, I faintly heard the people at the city gate discussing something. It all seems… to be related to me.
Dugu Mobao’s expression was cold. “Just some nonsense. You don’t have to care about them.”
Hearing him say this, Chu Liuyue didn’t ask further.
Dugu Mobao said again, “The transportation formation in front is a first-grade transportation formation. The entire Grotto-Heaven Cliff only has one, so we can just directly go over.”
Chu Liuyue was rather curious. “How do you know there’s only one? Have you come here before?”
“A place like Grotto-Heaven Cliff only has the right to build one,” said Dugu Mobao lightly.
Chu Liuyue: “…Oh.”
…
After walking another distance, the duo returned to a livelier street.
Chu Liuyue walked to the front of a herb shop and went to an employee. “h.e.l.lo, may I know how to get to the first-grade transportation formation?”
Even though Grotto-Heaven Cliff was a city, it was extremely s.p.a.cious. She and Dugu Mobao couldn’t randomly walk around, so it was the fastest and most convenient to ask someone.
The employee initially thought that Chu Liuyue had come to buy herbs, but when he heard her ask this, his face immediately drooped. He said half-heartedly, “You want to go there?”
“Yeah. Brother, could you show me the way?” Chu Liuyue didn’t seem to care about his nonchalant att.i.tude as she smiled.
“Let me advise you—don’t go there!”
Chu Liuyue was dazed. “Why?”
“Heh, what else can it be? Look over there!” Then, he pointed in a direction.
Chu Liuyue looked over and saw a faint light glowing at that end.
“Of course, it’s because that transportation formation is damaged!” That employee crossed his arms. “Even the Cliff Master can’t use it now, let alone you! If you have nothing else, leave quickly! Don’t affect me doing my business here!”
Chu Liuyue knitted her brows slightly. We barely managed to get in, yet the transportation formation is damaged?!
