Transmigrating with a Five Million Dollar Retirement Life

Chapter 186 The Mysterious Man and Woman

Song Jiaojiao looked at the golden lotus on the table. Yoruichi had uprooted it, which perfectly suited Song Jiaojiao's needs.

Besides its ornamental value, the golden lotus also has excellent medicinal value, mainly because its fruit and stems are edible.

She entered the space with flowers, and as soon as she planted one of them, she was kicked out by the space, still holding another golden flower in her hand.

Song Jiaojiao: …………This mechanism is really bad. It's always like this. It's like when I want you, you're my god, but when I don't want you, even a stray dog ​​on the street can come and kick you.

Helpless, Song Jiaojiao put the flowers in her hand into her spatial storage to prevent them from withering later, which would be a loss.

"Flying Tiger, how long will this upgrade take?" Song Jiaojiao asked.

"Host, this time it will take two days!" Flying Tiger replied excitedly. With this upgrade, he could grow even bigger.

Song Jiaojiao thought to herself: It seems that the time required will be getting longer and longer.

"Madam, the stall owner from last time has delivered some things," Shang Xiaoxiao said as she entered Song Jiaojiao's room.

"Okay, I got it, I'm coming right now." Song Jiaojiao remembered what she had asked the old man to dig up last time. Although she couldn't enter the space now, even a mosquito is still meat.

When Song Jiaojiao arrived at the reception hall, she saw the old man sitting restlessly with his grandson. When he saw Song Jiaojiao, he quickly got up.

"Young master, these are mushrooms I picked on the mountain yesterday. I guarantee they're fresh," the old man said cautiously, afraid that if he said anything wrong, Song Jiaojiao would refuse them.

Shang Xiaoxiao brought the basket to Song Jiaojiao. Inside, there were not only common mushrooms such as chicken mushroom, porcini mushroom, and dried mushroom, but also less common ones such as morel mushroom, matsutake mushroom, and bamboo fungus.

And they were all fresh, picked exactly as Song Jiaojiao wanted them to be.

The old man looked at Song Jiaojiao nervously, afraid that his things wouldn't meet her requirements.

"Yes, not bad. Thank you for your hard work, sir. These mushrooms are intact and clearly picked with care. I'll still charge you the price we agreed on last time."

Song Jiaojiao smiled and nodded. At this moment, the old man's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. With this money, he and his grandson could finally hold out until the autumn harvest.

"Thank you, young master." The old man quickly thanked Song Jiaojiao.

"If there's anything else, feel free to send it over, especially anything I haven't seen before," Song Jiaojiao said with a smile as she had Shang Xiaoxiao settle the payment.

"I've noted it down. If there's nothing else, the old man will take his leave."

Song Jiaojiao nodded gently, "Xiaoxiao, see them out."

"Yes, madam, please follow me, sir."

The old man nodded to Song Jiaojiao and then left with his grandson.

Thinking of Yoruichi, whom she had just taken in, Song Jiaojiao decided to go and check on her.

Upon arriving at the Heavenly Realm, Song Jiaojiao gently knocked on the door.

Yoruichi opened the door from the inside. "Yoruichi, who is it?"

Ye Yun's soft voice came through, "It's Young Master Song."

"Miss Ye Yun, are you comfortable here?" Song Jiaojiao went in and looked at Ye Yun on the bed. Her complexion looked much better than it had that morning at the City God Temple.

I noticed there was still some leftover herbal soup on the table, so I guessed the herbs had been used.

"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Song. This place is much better than the City God Temple. How could I not be used to it?" Ye Yun said softly with a slight smile.

"That's good. You can come find me in the courtyard if you need anything." After saying that, Song Jiaojiao said to Ye Yi.

"Yoruichi, I see you are quite skilled. May I ask which master you studied under?"

Upon hearing Song Jiaojiao's question, Ye Yun on the bed tightened her grip on the blanket, and even her face, which had just regained some color, slowly turned deathly pale.

"Young master, I haven't studied under any famous teacher; I've just learned from various sources." Ye Yi lowered his head and didn't look at Song Jiaojiao.

Song Jiaojiao knew immediately that this was a lie. Knowing that they didn't want to talk about it, she said coldly with a stern face, "We still have to go through the rest of the journey together. It's best to trust each other to avoid bringing bad things to each other."

Ye Yun was about to say something when she heard Song Jiaojiao's words, when she saw Ye Yi gently shake his head at her.

"Young Master Song, rest assured, Ye Yi will absolutely protect your safety and will not let your medicinal herbs go to waste." Ye Yi still did not choose to tell the truth.

Looking at the person in front of her, Song Jiaojiao sighed inwardly, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Fine, we only met halfway through life. We haven't reached the point of being close friends yet. We're just ordinary people here, defenseless. I hope you can keep your word."

Yoruichi just stared intently at Song Jiaojiao, her eyes radiating determination.

"Alright, you all get some rest. If you need anything, come find me in the courtyard. We're leaving in four days." After saying this, Song Jiaojiao got up and left.

After Song Jiaojiao left, Ye Yun asked worriedly, "Ayi, is it really okay for us to keep this a secret?"

Yoruichi squatted by the window, looking up at Ye Yun. "Yun, knowing too much will not do them any good. In our current situation, we can only follow them for the time being. Don't worry, I won't let them get hurt."

Ye Yun also knew that her physical condition was a hindrance; if it weren't for her, Yoruichi would have been far worse off.

Song Jiaojiao was unaware of the conversation inside the house. She watched as dark clouds slowly gathered outside, and soon the rain began to pour down, lasting for four days.

Except for the heavy rain at the beginning, it was a light drizzle afterwards.

Soon it was time for Song Jiaojiao and her group to set off.

On the day of departure, after several days of recuperation, Ye Yun no longer looked weak and powerless, and her face looked much more normal.

Today, Song Jiaojiao didn't wear men's clothing; instead, she wore women's clothing again.

It was only then that Ye Yun and the others realized that the young master Song who had been helping them was actually a woman.

"Miss Ye Yun, this carriage is for you. Just follow us. I don't have any destination on this road; I'm just heading south."

Song Jiaojiao pointed to the unassuming black wooden carriage behind them and said.

"Thank you, Madam Song." Ye Yun bowed to Song Jiaojiao. She didn't say anything more, but she kept it all in her heart.

Song Jiaojiao nodded and got into the largest carriage in the middle. Shang Yu and the others drove the carriage ahead to clear the way.

Today, Zhou Dayong and Zhang Li are in Song Jiaojiao's carriage, while Zhou Dadan is leading the way.

When Ye Yun saw Song Jiaojiao get into the carriage, she also got into the carriage. From the outside, the carriage looked no different from an ordinary carriage, but inside there was a small couch so that she could lie down and rest if she got tired of riding.

Ye Yun saw it all and kept it in mind. Although this carriage was not as luxurious and comfortable as her previous one, she could feel Song Jiaojiao's care for her.

This is the only person, besides Yoruichi, who has shown concern for her since the incident.

Accompanied by the clatter of horses' hooves, Song Jiaojiao and her group embarked on a new journey south.

After several days of rain, the water in the Chunjiang River beside the official road became even more turbulent and murky. The surging waves resembled a gaping maw, as if anything that fell into it would be utterly destroyed.
