A passing traveler through the heavens

Chapter 199 Danzhou

The detached residence of Earl Sinan of Danzhou is a magnificent and solemn mansion, the residence of the mother of Fan Jian, the current Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Southern Qing Kingdom.

It's important to know that Fan Jian's mother is no ordinary person; she is the wet nurse of the current Emperor Qing of Southern Qing! Her status is extremely prestigious, and no one dares to underestimate her.

At this very moment, Ye Qingmei's newborn son is being carefully raised by Old Madam Fan, and the child is named Fan Xian.

Ye Qingmei was filled with worry, but she didn't know where Ji Lin planned to go next. After thinking it over, she couldn't help but ask Ji Lin, "Could you let me see my son one more time before you leave?"

Looking at Ye Qingmei's expectant and affectionate gaze, Ji Lin finally nodded in agreement.

So the two arrived at Danzhou and secretly went to a side room in the Earl's mansion. Through the crack in the door, they could see two maids and a wet nurse busy taking care of the baby inside.

Ji Lin suddenly pushed open the door and flashed into the room. He quickly swung several hand chops, and three muffled groans were heard. The maid and the wet nurse had already fainted and were unconscious on the ground.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Ji Lin slowly deactivated his invisibility.

Ye Qingmei hurried to the bedside and gently took the infant Fan Xian into her arms. Fan Xian's skin was as delicate as snow, and his big eyes were bright and spirited, like stars twinkling in the night sky.

When he saw Ye Qingmei's face, he actually grinned and smiled, as if he recognized the person in front of him as his mother.

"My son... I am your mother... It's a pity that your mother can't always be by your side to watch you grow up..." Ye Qingmei gazed at Fan Xian's lovely smiling face, tears streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.

She murmured softly, her words filled with endless reluctance and longing. Seeing this, Ji Lin silently took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Ye Qingmei.

At this moment, Fan Xian, still an infant, blinked his clear, innocent eyes and stared curiously at Ye Qingmei and Ji Lin in front of him.

His little mind raced, and he wondered to himself, "Could this beautiful woman be my mother? And could this handsome man standing next to her be my father?"

Who could have imagined that at this very moment, this tender body carries a mature soul from a distant modern society, named Fan Shen!

Meanwhile, Ji Lin's eyes, which possessed a magical ability—the Heavenly Eye—had already perceived the existence of the soul of a modern adult man within Fan Xian's body.

For a moment, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, gazing thoughtfully at Fan Xian.

After a long while, Ye Qingmei finally reluctantly placed Fan Xian back on the bed, and then she and Ji Lin turned and left the Fan residence together.

The two walked side by side and soon arrived at a general store not far from the Fan residence. This general store had quietly opened on the same day that Fan Xian arrived in Danzhou.

When they entered the grocery store, they saw a tall, blind man with his eyes covered by a black cloth silently sweeping the dust off the floor.

As soon as Ye Qingmei entered the room, a radiant smile bloomed on her face, and she called out sweetly, "Hello, Little Zhuzhu~"

The blind man, who had been focused on his broom, suddenly trembled upon hearing the familiar voice calling his name, and then quickly turned his head.

His face was filled with astonishment, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and he stammered, "Miss, you...?"

Clearly, the blind man was completely unprepared for his encounter with Ye Qingmei here, leaving him somewhat at a loss and his mind in a state of chaos, making even thinking difficult.

Seeing this, Ji Lin smiled slightly and said softly, "You two chat first, I'm going out for a smoke." With that, he walked out of the general store, leaving Ye Qingmei and the blind man alone in the room.

After giving the blind man and Ye Qingmei enough privacy, Ji Lin slowly strolled outside the general store.

He took out a pack of cigarettes, skillfully lit one, took a deep drag, and then exhaled a cloud of white smoke. Time seemed to stand still, and before he knew it, five or six cigarette butts were scattered at Ji Lin's feet.

Finally, Ye Qingmei slowly walked out of the general store. Ji Lin glanced at her and casually asked, "Did you finish talking to that robot?"

Ye Qingmei looked down at the pile of cigarette butts on the ground and said irritably, "Are you serious? I only chatted with him for a while, and you smoked so many cigarettes, aren't you afraid of getting lung cancer!"

Ji Lin smiled dismissively.

Ye Qingmei continued to correct, "There are also people with names, like Wu Zhu."

"Wu Zhu~ I also have Bumblebee!" Ji Lin teased sarcastically.

However, no sooner had Ji Lin finished speaking than Ye Qingmei's eyes lit up, and she excitedly asked, "Bumblebee? Could it be the Bumblebee I know?"

Faced with Ye Qingmei's barrage of questions, Ji Lin was somewhat helpless, but still nodded in affirmation.

This was quite a surprise. Ye Qingmei, as if she had been injected with adrenaline, began to talk endlessly about her love and understanding of Bumblebee.

Seeing that Ye Qingmei was getting more and more excited and had no intention of stopping, Ji Lin couldn't stand it any longer. Without saying a word, he grabbed Ye Qingmei's hand, cast the Rabbit Talisman, and left as quickly as the wind.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Lin brought Ye Qingmei back to the inn where they were staying. Xinghai and Huan'er had been waiting there for a long time.

Inside the inn, Ji Lin sat upright at an old but sturdy wooden table. He looked around at the people sitting together and spoke with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we must first determine where our first stop should be. I hope everyone can speak freely, brainstorm, and work together to come up with the best destination."

At this moment, Ye Qingmei was also enthusiastically introducing the unique customs and culture of various places in the world of Joy of Life.

She spoke eloquently and vividly about the unique features and charm of each place, but when she talked about Danzhou, she seemed to pay special attention, her words filled with love and familiarity for the place.

It not only describes in detail the beautiful natural scenery and long history and culture of the area, but also tells some little-known folk legends.

Ji Lin listened quietly, pondering to himself.

Gradually, he realized that Ye Qingmei's description of Danzhou was far too elaborate, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled. Finally, he couldn't help but laugh and tease her.

"Hey Xiao Yezi, you've told me so much about Danzhou. You're not secretly planning to use this opportunity to see your precious son more often, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingmei was taken aback at first, then gave Ji Lin a coquettish glare and retorted, feigning anger.

"Hmph, you really don't appreciate kindness! I just thought that Danzhou really has many places worth visiting, so I said a few more words." After saying that, she turned her head away, deliberately ignoring Ji Lin.

Ji Lin looked at Ye Qingmei's adorable appearance and secretly found it amusing.

Actually, he was fine with going anywhere; he didn't have any particular preference. Seeing the slightly awkward atmosphere, Ji Lin waved his hand decisively and decided, "Alright, alright, since that's the case, let's make Danzhou our first stop!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qingmei, who had been sulking, turned around instantly and asked with a look of surprise and delight, "Really? That's great!"

She was so excited she almost jumped up from her seat, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Seeing this, Ji Lin mischievously pointed his little finger at Ye Qingmei and laughed, "Look, she's already given herself away. She still says she didn't come to see her son."

Ye Qingmei blushed with embarrassment after her thoughts were exposed.

And so, Ji Lin, Xing Hai, Huan Er, and Ye Qing Mei packed their bags and embarked on their journey to Danzhou.
