Chapter 5: The Moe Girl Brigade, Set Off!
Zhu Yun naturally refused to proceed, as his beautiful wife had turned into an ugly woman; who would want that? He called off the engagement! His father, the Prince of Yu, was also furious, stating that the An family had embarrassed him and that he would take action against them. As a result, the An family, feeling helpless, once again betrothed their second daughter, An Qian, to the notorious young man from Chongqing, Zhu Yun.
It is acceptable
An Qian heard this and pondered for a moment, then said earnestly: "Young Master Yi, I will be straightforward. My萌娘旅团 consists entirely of young women, and traditionally, men and women do not engage closely, so I hesitated to invite you to join us. However... our troupe is about to wander the world, and we may encounter various poisonous creatures and fierce beasts. We truly need the strength of a 'pharmacist.' Since Young Master Yi has no home to return to, why not join my troupe and wander the world with us, making the four seas our home"
In the year 1560 of the Great Meng Calendar, the year when the sun rises over Chaoyang, summer! The journey that would be sung by the world for a thousand years began for Yiyun, who was completely in the dark about this world, and Miss An Qian, who had a tough demeanor but never formulated an action plan.
This excitement is hard to pinpoint; perhaps it stems from arriving in a new world, bringing a sense of novelty. It could also be due to having cured Miss Xiaoyun, thus gaining the favor of the young ladies. Or maybe it is simply because the entire traveling group consists of young women, which would excite any man.
The dilapidated green state beside me is called Chongqing, which indeed resembles a certain city on Earth. Therefore, if this world bears some resemblance to Earth, there should be a larger city not far to the northwest of Chongqing, known as Chengdu. In this world, it should be a vast green state city. If one seeks information or wishes to engage in commerce, going to the big city is certainly the right choice
Zhu Yun, being a royal relative, acted with arrogance, engaging in the despicable act of teasing respectable women all day long, causing chaos in Chongqing and earning the nickname of a notorious young man in the city. The Prince of Yu, unable to control his son, sought to find him a young princess, hoping that she could help him settle down.
Yiyun wiped away a bead of sweat. What does it mean to fan oneself with a fan in a stylish manner? My action of carrying a birdcage is quite handsome as well... Never mind, let me think about it...
Iyun asked again: "Miss An, being a wanderer with no fixed abode is rather aimless. You should have a long-term plan or set a clear goal! Once that goal is achieved, you could establish a new home somewhere, giving everyone something to look forward to"
That night, Yiyun rested in a small tent where miscellaneous items were piled up
Oh, it seems I have heard of it... An Qian thought carefully and said, "I happened to hear my father mention that he once went to Chengdu to conduct some business."
Oh? Yi Yun Da Qi said: "It was only established the day before yesterday? It doesn't seem very reliable. I think the brigade resembles a trading group. Did Miss An Qian leave home to engage in business?"
At that moment, the masked girl An Qian approached and greeted Yi Gongzi, saying: "Young Master Yi, did you rest well last night?"
Iyun shrugged and said, "Sigh, I still haven't thought of it..."
An Qian continued to speak
Yi Yun thought to herself: If I am not mistaken, I have crossed over and taken over the body of the notorious young master Zhu Yun from Chongqing. In other words, this Miss An Qian is the previous owner of this body who was driven out of her home. It seems there is some intriguing gossip to hear. In fact, individuals like otaku are also quite interested in gossip. Just look at the countless envious otaku in the online forums of the future, eagerly sharing gossip news in QQ groups. Yi Yun was no exception; upon hearing that there was gossip to listen to, she immediately adopted a posture of "Please, host, go ahead, I am listening. If you tell it well, I will support your post and even help you share it." In fact, individuals like otaku are also quite interested in gossip.

If you tell it well, I will support your post and even help you share it."
On the morning of the second day, the caravan began to pack up. The young girls wrapped themselves in sandproof cloaks and then loaded the goods onto the camels. Yi Yun casually inquired and learned that these goods were all local specialties from Chongqing's Green State, such as Fuling pickled vegetables, Jiangjin rice candy, and Wuling mountain delicacies.
This is the first night since Yiyun arrived in this world. Hmm... it is not as nostalgic for her original world as she imagined, nor does she cry, and she does not even feel uneasy
An Qian's face flushed: "I don't know... I've never left Chongqing City, and neither have my maid and guards. The outside world is completely unfamiliar to me, and I don't know where to go now. Young Master Yi seems to be well-educated; the way he fans himself is quite elegant. You must know about the outside world, right? Oh dear... I'm sorry, I forgot that you have amnesia..."
After An Qian ran away from home for a day, she couldn't contain her anger and sent a trusted maid and a scout back to Chongqing City, intending to capture and kill the notorious scoundrel Zhu Yun to vent her frustration. However, due to a series of misunderstandings, they mistakenly captured Yi Yun instead
The place where Yiyun is located is called "Damo Kingdom," which is a nation formed by the union of many green state cities, with Chongqing being one of these green state cities. In Chongqing, there is a prince, known as Prince Yu. The original owner of Yiyun's body, the notorious young man of Chongqing, Zhu Yun, is the heir to Prince Yu and is destined to inherit the throne in the future
The temporary tent where Yi Yun was residing has also been taken down by the young girls, leaving him at a loss for what to do for a while, standing there in a daze: How unfortunate, this troupe seems to be leaving, and I have no idea where they plan to go. I have only just managed to find a temporary place to stay, and if they leave, where will I go again?
What? To roam the world? No! What a homebody hates the most is to roam the world. ... Yi Yun wanted to refuse immediately, but after thinking carefully, he realized something was wrong ... I am currently homeless, and no one will take me in when I return to the Green State in Chongqing. It's not that I don't want to roam the world, but rather that I can only call the world my home now. ... What a tragedy. I am currently homeless, and no one will take me in when I return to the Green State in Chongqing. It's not that I don't want to roam the world, but rather that I can only call the world my home now. ... What a tragedy.
Is that so? Just randomly following a stranger's words and running into the desert? This is the desert; is it really okay to just walk in one direction? Sweat beaded on Yiyun's forehead. Could it be that this woman originally intended to lead the caravan aimlessly through the desert? Have some planning, for goodness' sake; don't be so reckless. We could get lost, and people could die!
An Qian said earnestly: "I want to wander the world, make the four seas my home, find the proof of the overlord, and then use it to restore my sister's appearance..." As she spoke these words, her eyes sparkled with a bright light, and that serious yet determined gaze almost instantly touched Yi Yun's heart
Yiyun curiously asked, "Miss An, have you heard of Chengdu City?"
An Qian then asked, "Has Young Master Yi's memory recovered somewhat? Do you remember where your home is?"
Hmm! Yi Yun clapped his hands and said: "Then let's go to Chengdu City. If I am not mistaken... Chengdu City is in this... direction from Chongqing City, approximately over 500 miles away." He casually pointed towards the northwest direction, not very accurately, just pointing randomly.
Oh? Yi Yun felt a stir in her heart, is there such a good thing? In other words, if I find this item, I could even ask it to send me back to my original world, back to my home with a computer and air conditioning? No, such an ideal is too weak; I don't want to go back to the original world. Isn't it the same to stay at home wherever I am? As long as there is a home in this world, I can stay. Although there are no computers and air conditioning, there can be farmers, mountain springs, and a little field. A homebody's requirements are not high; I don't need to look for this so-called Certificate of Dominance.
That's it, let them run around as they please; one shouldn't take life too seriously. I never even considered getting lost in the desert; if I take it seriously, I will lose.
Iyun clasped her fists and said to An Qian: "I see, then I will join your cute girl brigade. I hope my 'Pharmacist' and 'Illustrator' professions can be of help to you all"
In any case, for various reasons, Yi Yun found it difficult to fall asleep despite turning over repeatedly.
An Qian was overjoyed! She herself was a level 3 combat class "swordsman" and did not take the petty thieves seriously. However, without a healing class member accompanying them, it would be quite difficult to deal with poison and injuries among the team. Now, effortlessly persuading a "pharmacist" to join the team was truly a great gain.
An Qian did not possess the foolishness of her sister, who would slash her face with a knife; on the contrary, she was very decisive. She immediately took out her private savings, along with her personal maid, female soldiers, and a whole host of others, and ran away from home. They formed the Moe Girls Brigade, intending to roam the world freely.
Yiyun, feeling dejected, said to An Qian: "Miss An, I see you must be the daughter of a wealthy family; otherwise, how could you afford so many maidservants and female guards accompanying you? Why would such a good girl like you choose to wander the world?"
Miss An Jia, named An Jing, possesses a beauty that is both enchanting and exquisite, complemented by a delightful personality, making her the epitome of a perfect woman. Some well-meaning individuals have compared her to the most beautiful woman in the world. However, upon hearing that she was to be married off to a notorious scion from Chongqing, she was instantly filled with rage. Grabbing a pair of scissors, she inflicted wounds upon her own face, slashing left and right, leaving her visage marred. It is said that blood flowed profusely, staining her body and the ground, as she dragged herself from her boudoir to the courtyard, terrifying a multitude of maids and servants.
An Qian's expression also darkened as she said to Yi Gongzi, "My Moe Girl Troupe was actually established just the day before yesterday..."
"Good, good goal, good girl." Yiyun clapped his hands, thinking to himself: His sister is quiet and is said to be the most beautiful woman in the world. She was once promised to me, so she is indeed my first wife. I naturally have the obligation to restore her beauty. Well, I will also go find the Proof of the Overlord. He asked, "So, where shall we first look for the Proof of the Overlord?"
Upon hearing An Qian's plight, Yi Yun surprisingly felt a twinge of sympathy for her. She is yet another unfortunate soul who cannot return home. As someone without a home myself, I find a strange kinship with this homeless person; perhaps we should just form a family together. ... Wait a minute ... I have taken over Zhu Yun's body, and this An Qian has already been promised to Zhu Yun as his princess. In other words, An Qian is my wife. ... How did I only just realize this? My wife is about to wander the world; this cannot be! I have taken over Zhu Yun's body, and this An Qian has already been promised to Zhu Yun as his princess. In other words, An Qian is my wife. ... How did I only just realize this? My wife is about to wander the world; this cannot be! I must follow her.
In summary, the sequence of events is quite frustrating! Miss An Qian is very unfortunate! Zhu Yun's grandson is utterly wicked and deserves a terrible fate
With a casual gesture, Yi Yun pointed, and surprisingly, An Qian did not object. She also extended her hand to point towards the northwest and commanded the young women beside her loudly: "Break camp and advance in this direction; we are heading to Chengdu Green Prefecture..."
An Qian said with a serious expression: "There is no other way... It's all that scoundrel Zhu Yun from Chongqing's fault; he forced me to leave home."
On the contrary, I feel a bit excited
An Qian nodded and sighed, "As for the plan... cough... there isn't one... but there is a goal. You may not know this due to your amnesia, but since the founding of the Great Meng Kingdom, a legend has been passed down. Somewhere in this world, there exists a magical treasure known as the 'Proof of the Overlord.' Whoever obtains it can fulfill one wish, no matter how outrageous it may be."
The daughter of a wealthy merchant? Yi Yun was taken aback: "This is a typical case of relying on one's father for success. Since she has already achieved success in this promising industry of leveraging family connections, why would she choose to endure the hardships of being a traveling merchant? She should just stay at home and wait for death... cough... cough..."
This matter... sigh, it's a long story
However, there is an unwritten rule in the Great Meng Kingdom that the children of royal relatives and noble ministers are not allowed to marry each other. Therefore, Prince Yu set his sights on finding a young princess from a merchant family. After much consideration, he ultimately chose the eldest daughter of the largest merchant family in Chongqing.
Well... I'll be straightforward. An Qian said in detail: "Our An family is the largest business in the Green State of Chongqing. I am the second daughter of the head of the An family, and I have learned a bit about business from my father."
