Chapter 8 My former fiancée, Liu Ruyan!
The two looked at each other for a moment, their eyes showing some surprise.
Liu Ruyan!
This is the name of the girl in white!
Xiao Yu had read many novels in his previous life and was somewhat allergic to this name.
The key point is that he is very familiar with this woman.
There's no way I'm not familiar with her; she was his former fiancée.
I say "before" because this was before he was dismissed.
Xiao Yu felt somewhat helpless, finding it incredibly melodramatic.
In fact, this kind of thing doesn't only happen in fantasy novels; it happens everywhere.
She lives in nearby Hurricane City and is the daughter of the base's lord.
Regardless of family background or social status, they were in no way inferior to the Xiao family of Yancheng, so their marriage was a natural progression.
The original owner of this body was extremely considerate and attentive to this fiancée.
Originally, Liu Ruyan was also very gentle with the original owner of this body.
It wasn't until the original owner of this body became a cripple that Liu Ruyan's true colors were revealed.
She showed no tenderness towards the original owner of the body, and despite the original owner's repeated pleas, she insisted on annulling the engagement.
Xiao Ting and Feng Murong, a married couple, not only did not object, but also wholeheartedly agreed.
They even tried to bring Liu Ruyan and Xiao Tian together.
That's right, Liu Ruyan has transformed herself into his younger brother's fiancée!
His position as the young city lord was taken by his younger brother, and even his wife was taken by his younger brother.
From then on, the original owner became the biggest joke in Yan City!
Xiao Yu couldn't help but recall a saying: "I only want to be the county magistrate's wife..."
"What are you doing here? What, trying to play the victim to gain sympathy?"
Liu Ruyan tilted her delicate chin and glanced sideways at Xiao Yu. Seeing that he was covered in dirt and mud, she immediately looked disgusted and took several steps back, speaking coldly.
"Go back right now! Don't embarrass yourself in public!"
She already knew about Xiao Yu.
Using running away from home to threaten one's family is truly childish and laughable.
"Are you sick? We're not related at all, what right do you have to interfere in my affairs?"
Faced with Liu Ruyan's sarcastic remarks, Xiao Yu sneered and retorted directly.
After all, he wasn't the original owner of this body, a vengeful soul, and he wouldn't fawn over anyone anymore.
"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.
This man always tried to please her and never went against her wishes.
Even though she publicly broke off the engagement, humiliating the man.
The other party remained silent; this was a born nemesis.
But what exactly triggered him to dare to curse it?
Liu Ruyan was furious and wanted to scold Xiao Yu, but she saw him turn around and leave.
He seemed unwilling to say another word to her.
"You... bastard!"
Liu Ruyan clenched her fists and stomped her foot hard.
She was a high and mighty little princess, and no one dared to ignore her!
Is this guy playing hard to get?
snort!
Do you think this will get my attention?
wishful thinking!
Let's see how long you can keep up this act!
After separating from Xiao Yu.
Liu Ruyan went straight to Yan City to celebrate her fiancé Xiao Tian becoming the young city lord.
At the same time, he also told Xiao Ting and his wife about seeing Xiao Yu.
"That unfilial son is actually in the Black Wind Forest? He'd rather fool around in that kind of place than go home? He's utterly despicable!" Upon hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Xiao Ting and his wife both looked rather grim.
City Lord Xiao Ting, in particular, was furious, his face turning ashen with rage.
He wasn't really being stupid by restricting the water supply for ordinary people.
He thought he had blocked Xiao Yu's escape route, and that he would not survive if he did not return to Yan City!
Xiao Yu can't endure hardship, so he'll definitely come back obediently!
He is well aware that many ordinary people are secretly cursing him.
Once Xiao Yu returns, we can quickly find a water source and solve the water problem.
When he restores the water supply to the common people, they will not only stop cursing him, but will also be grateful to him, and his prestige as the city lord will be further enhanced.
But Xiao Yu has been gone for two days now, and there's been absolutely no news of him.
It wasn't until Liu Ruyan arrived that they learned Xiao Yu was actually in the Black Wind Forest.
The place was shrouded in black mist and frequently erupted with beast tides, making it extremely dangerous. Even Xiao Ting was unwilling to go in.
Now, Xiao Yu would rather stay in that godforsaken place than return to Yan City.
If Xiao Yu doesn't return, who will find a water source? Should we expect the city lord to go find one himself?
However, if they can't find a water source, the civilians will riot sooner or later.
"Is the situation really that serious without Xiao Yu here?"
Liu Ruyan discovered this when she entered the city: Yan City was now filled with complaints.
After all, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius every day, just walking around outside leaves you drenched in sweat.
Those ordinary people worked desperately, yet they didn't even have water to take a bath.
Even when you're thirsty and want to drink water, you can't afford it. This kind of life is unbearable!
Hearing Xiao Ting's roar, Liu Ruyan was also somewhat surprised.
Over the years, Xiao Yu has been treated like a slave, with everyone behaving at his beck and call...
Therefore, Liu Ruyan didn't take Xiao Yu too seriously.
But now, she suddenly realized that this man might still be of some use.
"Father, Mother! It's just finding a water source, right? Leave it to me!" Seeing his father Xiao Ting's anger, which was still due to that bastard brother's failure to return, Xiao Tian immediately stepped forward and patted his chest to guarantee.
"Tian'er, what nonsense are you talking about? The wilderness is extremely dangerous, how could we let you go on such a risk! No, I absolutely disagree!" Upon hearing this, Feng Murong became anxious and scolded.
Her precious son is so valuable, how could he be allowed to do such dirty and tiring work?
“Your mother is right, I will solve the water problem.” Xiao Ting waved his hand.
The wilderness is too dangerous; he couldn't possibly let his son go there.
"Father, Mother! I am now the young city lord! It is my duty to solve the difficulties of my people!" Seeing his parents' firm attitude, Xiao Tian was immediately dissatisfied. He said righteously, "Besides, I have been following my brother for so long, I know everything he knows!"
He certainly wasn't doing this out of compassion for ordinary people.
But because...
Having finally removed that obstacle, how could we possibly let him come back?
Isn't it just about finding a water source?
Back then, Xiao Yu taught him everything he knew without reservation.
Teach him how to survive in the wilderness, how to find water and food.
Xiao Tian considered himself a genius and had already mastered everything.
If he can find food and water, no one will care about his brother anymore.
"As expected of the man I value, he is truly responsible!" Liu Ruyan's eyes shone as she watched Xiao Tian deliver his impassioned speech and display his righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor. She felt that her judgment was indeed first-rate.
She was a princess of high status, and should be with such a brave hero.
"In that case, you will set off with five hundred men in three days!"
Finally, after Xiao Tian's persistent pleading, Xiao Ting agreed.
After all, this is his son!
Unparalleled talent! And a distinguished military record!
Isn't it just about finding a water source?
That day, City Lord Xiao Ting announced that the young City Lord Xiao Tian would soon be going out to find a water source...
Upon learning of this, all the commoners cheered, "The city lord is wise! The young city lord is wise!"
Once the young city lord finds a water source, the water supply will be restored, and everyone will be able to escape their suffering!
In an instant, the entire city of Yan was filled with jubilation, chanting Xiao Tian's name.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the crowd, Xiao Tian was full of fighting spirit and ready to show his great power!
