King of Centipedes, 1256

four wishes for prosperity and abundance.Five aspirations for my family's peace, and six aspirations for calamities to be dispelled;May the elders enjoy longevity and blessings, and may the young be s...I hesitated and slowly walked out of the courtyard. I met my sister who was coming home from school to visit Ms. Xue. She nodded at me and was about to walk past me when I hurriedly stopped her: "Wait a moment, don't go in yet, they are discussing your marriage."

"Huh" My sister widened her eyes and looked back at me.

"When I came out just now, I heard them talking about your big brother and you. You shouldn't go in there and interrupt now." I kindly reminded her.

My sister was stunned for a few seconds, her face flushed slightly. Her attitude towards me softened considerably. She walked over and whispered, "Really"

"Why would I lie to you!"

"What did they say" my sister asked, her face flushed.

"...hehe."

"Stop playing coy and tell me already!"

"...Will you help me write the essay and administrative aptitude test assignments"

"Huh! I'm not going to help you, don't you have your husband to help" She shook her head quickly.

"Mu Wanchen only knows how to write traditional Chinese characters and oracle bone script. Can I have him help me I'm giving myself away writing like this!"

"You, you... how can you be so lazy!" She stomped her foot.

Well, this is more like her. The pouting and offended look before was just awkward. I never knew why she was giving me the cold shoulder.

"Alright, alright... don't get angry. I just heard Madam Xue mention your marriage to my father. She said that you and your elder brother were a good match back then, as their thinking was that it was best to get married early. That's all I heard."

"Is that so..." My sister pouted and said in a low voice, "But Big Brother isn't in a hurry, why should I be..."

This doesn't seem right, girls shouldn't be rushing into marriage, should they

"Then tell your father you're mentally prepared and ready to go whenever, otherwise, with such hesitation, what if another woman takes Senior Brother Jun away" I suggested.

My sister glanced at me and whispered, "He has someone in his heart. No one can take him away."

"Huh"

Does your heart belong to someone, brother Who is it

"Little Lu'er, you really are... a fool!" My sister stomped her feet at me and walked towards the yard.

What's wrong with me... Out of the blue, is my sister going through a late rebellious phase and can't stand anyone

"Whoa!" Just as I was about to turn and leave, I saw Mu Wanchen standing not far behind me. I jumped in surprise.

"What are you doing" I asked. He rarely wandered around my house; he only came out when we went for walks together.

"I saw the teacher off, but you're fine. You said your stomach hurt from sitting for too long and slipped out without coming back. Am I learning or are you learning" He reached out to me.

I swayed his arm in my arms: "You teach me after you learn... I'll listen to you, but when the teachers give lectures, I just want to fall asleep..."

"You and your sister fought again" Mu Wanchen ignored my coquettishness.

"She didn't get angry, maybe she was just shy... I don't understand why she always gets mad." I rolled my eyes and walked towards the attic with Mu Wanchen.

Mu Wanchen frowned slightly. I remembered what Ms. Xue said about the King of Gu, and hurriedly asked, "Are you feeling unwell"

"Huh" He gave me a puzzled look.

"Is something wrong with your body Why are you frowning" I was a little nervous.

Before, I was always being clingy and acting cute with him. I didn't notice anything off about him. Only after Ms. Xue mentioned the King of Insects did I realize I had completely forgotten about that.

“.....I frown, thinking you’re foolish.” He shook his head and sighed: “Your brother Jun cares for you more than your sister does. That's why your sister has always held a grudge. Now that we're talking about your brother Jun's marriage, you should be more careful with your words.”

"I don't want to butt in... I'm busy enough with my own things. Besides, the eldest brother favors me more, what can I do about it! I don't want to fight for favor either." I muttered under my breath.

Mu Wanchen let out a soft sigh, shaking his head. "The affairs of the world, the emotions of people... they're mostly like this... always with regrets and inexplicable things."

"My older brother loves me, but he doesn't have 'that' kind of feelings for me!" I explained.

Mu Wanchen curled the corner of his lips, reached out and pinched my cheek, shaking it gently: "Silly girl, after decades of getting along, all the joy and love have melted into family affection, blurring the lines."

"What should I do I don't want to disappoint my sister..."

"Why don't we avoid this discussion and let them talk about their wedding plans" Mu Wanchen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Avoid suspicion Where would I even go to avoid it" I rubbed my hands together.

Mu Wanchen smiled and said, "It's been so long since we left Miao Wangcheng, let's go back and have a look."

He was still always at heart with these people, when we appeared in Miaowang City, those people cried out.

These people can't be moved out completely for now, they can only linger here temporarily.

Long Xiaoge only provided shelter, he didn't bother with these people, so a small number of them went to the town outside the Miao Wangcheng Dharma Door and brought back some stories.

The greatest transformation, yet the easiest to achieve, is that of the mind.

It's the hardest thing to force your ideas into someone else's mind; however, allowing someone to change their thoughts spontaneously can happen in an instant.

The old houses in Miaowang City that were once deserted now had their tables and chairs polished to a shine. It has to be said, this residency has brought a lot of life to Miaowang City.

These should be able to gradually calm the anger of the Great Corpse King, right

I'm a familiar face in Miao Wang City, so I didn't bother going with Mu Wanchen to look at the citizens. Instead, I took Liang, my little brother, towards the barracks of Miao Wang City.

This military camp is actually the Miao King's City.

The concept of the Miao King's City should encompass all the buildings in this area, but the core of it is this military fortress.

Built into the mountain, the steps are steep and treacherous, with all sorts of peculiar designs.

For example, a staircase going up might have several thresholds with high "door frames." For example, a road that turns a corner could unexpectedly lead to a dead end. And there are paths that branch off in three directions but eventually converge into the same alley after some distance.

Such and so forth are all the wisdom of our ancestors.

This place is not just the residence of the King of Miao, it used to be a fortress. If you look closely, it's very meaningful.

"What are you doing!" A guard suddenly yelled at me, startling me.

Where are these guards hiding They appear and disappear so quickly.

"Let's just take a walk around, what's the matter" Liang Xiaoger was also a familiar face. He quickly explained to the guards.

The guard looked unhappy: “Our King Miao is resting, please don’t wander around. There are many places in this city you cannot go, so don't just roam about.”

"This whole place is residential, there's nowhere you can't go, right" I asked, puzzled. "These houses are all empty, aren't they"

The guard smirked and answered arrogantly, “These are the places where the wives of our Miao King live. Even an empty room is not allowed to be entered without permission.”

"My goodness, finding a wife is already tough these days, let alone 'noble concubines' Come on, get real." I couldn't help but tease him.

The guard puffed up his chest and said, “That’s our Miao King, he’s…clean…he keeps himself…well!”

In the deserted village, our shouts echoed and immediately startled its owner.

Long Xiaogē looked down at me from a wooden enclosure on the mountain, about ten meters away.

He glanced at me with a slight frown, and I immediately shut my mouth and waved to him.

Long Xiaoge slightly tilted his head and nodded, motioning for us to go up and speak.
