Chapter 144 I Have Special Privileges
Yun Zhaoyao's lips instantly pursed into a straight line, and her eyes looked as pitiful as an abandoned young wife.
"Sister Hua, I want to live with you."
"No way! I'm living under someone else's roof right now, how could I possibly take you with me? Besides, you need someone to protect you. Go back obediently, or I'll beat you up!"
Hua Buyu raised her fist and waved it threateningly in front of him.
"But...but I'm not used to the inn. It's too dilapidated, and there are so many mosquitoes. I've only stayed one night. Look at my hands, Sister Flower~"
After saying that, Yun Zhaoyao immediately rolled up her sleeves, revealing that her fair and tender arms were covered with shocking scratches, indicating that the mosquitoes must have been extremely vicious.
"Is it that serious? Cailian, could you go and ask the shopkeeper if he has any ointment?"
"Yes, ma'am."
Xin Moyan felt sorry for the wound and quickly said, "Buyu, Zhaoyao's hand has been bitten so badly by mosquitoes. That inn must be terrible. Don't be too harsh on him."
"Where did I scold him? Yan Yan, you don't know..." She swallowed the words she was about to say, almost forgetting that Yan Yan was a princess and Xin Moling was a general. This guy's identity was too troublesome, and it was best not to let him get involved with the general's mansion, lest it harm Xin Moling.
"Do not know what is this?"
Xin Moyan raised her eyebrows, feeling that Buyu's reaction today was a bit strange. Besides, wasn't she the one who liked good-looking people the most? Moreover, Zhao Yao's appearance perfectly matched her requirements for a younger, cute guy!
"Oh dear! You're so flamboyant. Just go back to where you live. Don't follow me. I'm a wanderer with nowhere to call home."
Hua Buyu waved her hand, looking impatient.
Yun Zhaoyao's nose instantly turned red. She blinked her eyes and sobbed, "That inn was really bad. I couldn't sleep well at all. The bed was so hard, and the blankets smelled terrible. I've never stayed in such a bad place before, Sister Hua~"
Hearing his tearful complaint, Hua Buyu was somewhat moved. This boy had been spoiled since childhood, and living in such an environment was indeed quite miserable. However, she couldn't take him to the General's Mansion!
"How arrogant! Let me tell you the truth, Yan Yan's identity is a princess, and her brother is the current Grand General Protector of the Nation. I am currently staying at their residence. You should know your own identity. There is no way I can take you to the General's mansion."
"Buyu, what is Zhaoyao's status? Besides, he looks like he's never suffered any hardship. Since the inn is so bad, why don't you let Zhaoyao stay at Yunxiang Tower? He has some attendants too, why don't you call them over as well!"
"no!"
Hua Buyu rejected the suggestion without hesitation. If that plague god found out that she was associating with Yun Zhaoyao and had even brought him to stay at Yunxianglou, her good days would be over.
"Why?" Xin Moyan was very confused. Zhao Yao looked delicate and naive, so she must have a good living environment. Moreover, Buyu was familiar with Yunxiang Tower. Why would she not agree to let him stay here?
"Sister Hua~" He tugged at Hua Buyu's sleeve, tears welling up in his eyes, looking incredibly pitiful.
“Yan Yan, his identity is special. You don’t know, the owner of Yunxianglou does not allow foreigners to stay overnight.”
"Is that so? Then you're not a foreigner?" Xin Moyan frowned, looking puzzled.
"I...I entered the country illegally, who knows my identity!"
"But I wouldn't be used to living there!"
"Mmm! Sister Yan, I really don't like it there, can you help me?"
Yun Zhaoyao turned to her and pleaded, her pitiful expression making Xin Moyan's heart soften.
"Bu Yu, to be honest, I know the owner of Yunxianglou. Don't worry, let Zhao Yao stay here. I have special privileges."
After saying that, she took out a jade pendant from her bosom, put it on the table, and said confidently, "This jade pendant can control the entire floor of Yunxiang Tower. Be flamboyant, I'll have the manager arrange the top-tier flower-themed room for you."
Hua Buyu was stunned for a moment. This jade pendant... When did he give Yan Yan even this jade pendant?
Yun Zhaoyao's eyes lit up instantly, revealing a row of neat, white teeth, and she said happily, "Thank you, Sister Yan. Sister Yan, you are not only beautiful, but also very kind-hearted. You are just like a fairy."
"Hehe~ No, not at all!" Xin Moyan was a little embarrassed. It was the first time she had met such a cute younger brother, and he kept praising her.
"Oh well, since you already have this jade pendant, Yan Yan, feel free to stay if you want!"
What else could she do? At most, she could rest and recover for a few more days.
Before long, the dishes were served, and Xin Moyan warmly invited him to eat. Hua Buyu, upon hearing about his experience that day, gave him an extremely foolish look and shook her head helplessly.
"Zhaoyao, I'm telling you one last time: when you're out and about, you need to carry money with you. You have to buy everything with silver. Also, quickly send someone to the inn to call all your guards over. There are a lot of bad people out there. You can't run around alone, understand?"
"Mmm-hmm!" Yun Zhaoyao nodded obediently, her clear eyes full of anticipation.
After Hua Buyu finished her warning, she let out a long sigh. She thought that once she came to Yuanqi, she would not run into this guy again, but she did not expect that Yan Yan would pick him up.
Yun Zhaoyao was like an innocent child, finding everything fascinating. He was particularly interested in the milk tea that Xin Moyan mentioned and insisted that they take him to 'Sweet Words' to see it. Xin Moyan also told him that they would have someone come to pick him up tomorrow so that he could get a good rest tonight.
On the way back to the General's Mansion, Xin Moyan couldn't help but ask, "Buyu, how come I've never heard of you having friends in Qiyun Kingdom? And Zhaoyao is quite interesting, so why are you so rude to him?"
Hua Buyu pouted instantly, her expression somewhat annoyed. "Yan Yan, where did I treat him badly? Isn't he my friend? We're just strangers who met by chance, the kind who don't even need to greet each other when we meet."
"But Zhao Yao seems to know you very well! Besides, he keeps calling you 'sister,' and he's so polite and innocent. You're not even this fierce to your brother, so why are you picking on Zhao Yao?"
She scratched her hair in frustration, not knowing how to explain it to Xin Moyan. "Yan Yan, promise me one thing: don't get too close to Zhao Yao."
"Why? Zhao Yao is so spoiled, he must be some noble young master! You're the only person he knows in Yuanqi, so let's take him out and have some fun for a few days!"
"Who says I should talk to him just because he knows me? Yan Yan, listen to me. If Xin Moling comes back and finds out that I introduced you to a guy, he'll definitely scold me."
Xin Moyan looked at her suspiciously, "You're afraid of your brother?"
