His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 2]

Chapter 222 - 225

🔘Chapter 222: Uncle Qiu

Xiao Fang warned her. "We can go there if you want, but you need my presence there, so the guards won't feel suspicious. Don't attract their attention, okay?"

Yao Ling nodded and grinned happily. "I won't attract their attention..."

She just wanted to take a look at the symbol --- that was it!

Just like what she promised, Xiao Fang brought them there.

She already asked Han Yi to search for the beast tamer's whereabouts.

By luck, the man was going to examine the sacred pet and invited Xiao Fang to join him.

The quartet quickly went to the pet's cage.

Before they reached the pet's cage, they would pass by the forbidden place's gate.

Yao Ling somehow felt nervous and both of her hands became sweaty.

She didn't know why but she had a gut feeling that something would happen.

Bad or good... she didn't know, but she knew that it must be something big.

Yao Ling sighed, knowing that they really had no time to rest!

Troubles kept looking for them one by one.

Yao Ying, who had paid close attention to Yao Ling's behavior, felt worried because she didn't look like her usual self.

He quickly gripped her hand tightly, trying to give her his support and also to calm her down.

He could feel how cold her hands were and he was confused about what made her behave so strangely.

She insisted to go near the forbidden place, so there must be something there that sparked her interest.

He felt confused and tried to make a guess what made her behave this way, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

The closer they were to the gate, the more agitated Yao Ling was.

She forgot that she held Yao Ying's hand and due to her nervousness, she almost crushed Yao Ying's hand because she used too much strength.

However, the latter only flinched a little while and chose not to stop her from doing it.

Lin Jian and Xiao Fang didn't notice Yao Ling's reactions because they were too busy at talking and whispering to each other.

It seemed like ever since the romantic twirling fiasco, they became closer and could overcome their shyness.

Thus, they finally had a little bit of progress.

Yao Ling tried not to look suspicious when they passed by the guard, she tried to see if she could take a look at it clearly with a glance!

If she couldn't, she knew that she needed to do something to distract the guards.

However, there would be a greater chance that she attracted the guards' attention and she would avoid that scenario if possible.

Fortunately, the symbol was quite big.

Probably because of the Cresent Lake name, but the symbol was actually also the shape of Crescent Moon.

The symbol was a thin, curved shape that's thicker in the middle and tapers to thin points at each end, like the little sliver of the moon in the sky.

However, this symbol was being climbed and twined around by green vines.

Not only that, there were a few weird written symbols that Yao Ling couldn't comprehend.
