Cheng Yu’er bared her teeth and finally snorted. “It’s nothing. I’m wearing clothes anyway!”
With that, he sat on the sofa and began to eat the pot of stew.
Lin Yan touched his stomach. Along the way, he had casually found sothing to deal with. He was also hungry, so he went to the kitchen and realized that there was still so stew left in the big pot. He simply scooped so food up and walked opposite Cheng Yu’er to eat with her.
The two of them ate silently. Although Cheng Yu’er started first, she was a girl after all. She maintained an elegant image in front of Lin Yan, who was unrestrained and finished eating earlier than her.
After eating, he praised, “It tastes good.”
Cheng Yu’er’s expression was rather bitter. “In the Human Demon Valley Fortress, the ingredients are very expensive. If that dish of yours was placed in the prefecture district, it would be enough for a normal family of three to eat for a year!”
Lin Yan looked up slightly. “I saw that there are many plantations and farmland outside.”
“But most of them are Prince Jing’s private property. Moreover, most of them are agricultural products. There are very few pigs, cows, sheep, and chickens. Most at is dried at imported from the outside world. Most of the local residents can’t eat at at all.”
No wonder Lin Yan felt that the at was a little stale when he ate it just now.
He did not delve into the situation here and asked, “Did the people from the fortress make things difficult for you?”
“No.” Cheng Yu’er finished the last mouthful cleanly and wiped her mouth with a napkin. “There happened to be an officer in the fortress. He’s Sister Hua Ling’s friend. We ca in without being interrogated at all.
“I even took advantage of Sister Hua Ling and moved into this big villa with her.”
Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. “Her friend… is one of the Sun Chasers?”
“Sister Hua Ling didn’t say.” A hint of wisdom flashed in Cheng Yu’er’s eyes. “However, when I ntioned the human figurine, her friend’s expression imdiately changed. That guy clearly knows. Therefore, he should be from Sun Chasers.”
Lin Yan naturally didn’t forget the human figurine.
Previously, when Lin Yan saved Cheng Yu’er from the villa’s basent, he had also brought out the human figurine. Later on, after the human demon incident, he wrapped the jade figurine in a random circle like Cheng Yu’er and Hua Ling and threw it to a human demon to carry. Then, he brought it to the cave under the human demon valley.
At this mont, it should still be below in the first cave he arrived at.
“Where’s Hua Ling?”
“She’s going after soone.”
Cheng Yu’er was rather helpless. “Actually, it’s mainly because the batch of human demons from before ca over, causing the entire fortress to be on guard against a great enemy. They mobilized for battle, thinking that the human demons were about to attack the city.
“Many nobles who had just arrived in the city quickly evacuated.
“That officer friend of hers has already entertained two more important figures. Those two figures evacuated imdiately.
“Now, since the human demons didn’t attack the city, they both went to chase after their two friends.”
Lin Yan frowned. “Did Hua Ling say anything about ?”
Cheng Yu’er shook her head. “Brother Thigh, don’t worry. How would Sister Hua Ling dare to reveal your matters? She’s very afraid of you. If a human demon or even you suddenly barged into the room onto her bed one night, won’t she be scared to death?”

The corners of Lin Yan’s mouth twitched. “Hua Ling also went to pick the two people up. Are those two also from Sun Chasers?”
Cheng Yu’er nodded wisely. “They didn’t say, but 1 guess so.”
“What about the other villas? Did they all run away? You just said that many nobles have just arrived. What do you an?”
Cheng Yu’er told him everything she had heard in a short period of ti.
This Human Demon Valley Fortress belonged to that mysterious Prince Jing. Cheng Yu’er didn’t know his exact identity, but she knew that the elite iron-armored army in the city was indeed as the legends said. They were his army and were nad the Heavenly Order Army, but their numbers didn’t match the legends. There were only more than 4,000 soldiers.
However, there were more than 4,000 people doing farming, labor, and so on. In total, there were close to 10,000 people.
With such a large population, they were all stationed and working for Prince Jing alone. They were not his slaves, but they belonged to his subordinates. It was similar to company employnt, but they had a stronger and closer relationship.
However, even though there were so many people stationed here, this Prince Jing did not stay in this fortress for long. In fact, he did not spend much ti.
Every year, there were only ten days that he was here, and many noble figures from the Qianyuan Prefecture and other prefectures would co here with him.
“I only heard a few nas of these big shots. They’re all nobles who can shake the entire prefecture with a stomp of their feet outside.
“I’m afraid this Prince Jing’s identity is really as the rumors say. He’s from the imperial capital!”
Cheng Yu’er concluded.
“Ten days…” Lin Yan thought for a mont and said, “Why are these people here?”
Cheng Yu’er pointed outside. In the center of the fortress, there was an area surrounded by high walls. “I don’t know the specifics, but they all go there. I also heard of an Unusual Item called the Flower-Picking White Jade Fruit. It’s probably related to this Unusual Item.”
Lin Yan suddenly thought of the huge roots he had seen underground. They were either thick or shriveled. The roots seed to be growing upwards inside the high city wall..
