Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Return Journey
ON THE OTHER HAND, Li Chang Su and Mu Xianzhai stayed overnight in a relatively safe place. The man looked in the direction where the god mountain range was located, watched the white light that appeared as fast as lightning into the sky, then disappeared just like that.
After that, Mu Xianzhai did not say anything, like there was a mystery buried within.
"Xiang Xian ... I want to eat a fairly ripe orange," Li Chang Su said suddenly waking Mu Xianzhai's mind. "But I don't have half-ripened citrus fruits in the artifact room ..." He complains.
"I'll look for him now" the man said without arguing.
"All right, let's go. I'll wait for you." Li Chang Su immediately asked him to leave.
The man was helpless and chuckled at the end, then disappeared into the forest.
Lict and Mu Hongzhi did not want to interfere. Pregnant women always ask for something strange. The litt know that. So he could only remain silent, reducing his sense of existence.
Fortunately Li Chang Su did not care about the two. He casually drank a glass of his warm milk. Although it may be difficult to find citrus fruits that grow wild in the forest, in ancient times this can certainly get it.
Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour, Mu Xianzhai returned while carrying some half-ripe citrus fruits. At first glance it must be sour.
Li Chang Su smiled in a good mood and praised her husband as an amazing man. Mu Xianzhai who got the praise flew into the sky, his mood was much better than his own wife.
"Well, it tastes good" said the girl as she tried fresh citrus fruits. Then he looked at Mu Hongzhi and Lit. "Well, you guys try too. It tastes so good."
Li Chang Su gave two oranges whose skin still had a green color to them.
The expressions of the two of them immediately changed, pretending to cough and shaking their heads. "No, no, Cousin-in-law, you just eat if you like. We don't really like oranges" Mu Hongzhi said.
"Really, right. I don't taste orange tonight." The litt also nodded.
Li Chang Su frowned. "I ask you to eat, do you refuse. What was? It's so delicious! I want you to eat it up!" He forced.
"..." - ".Mu Hongzhi and Lit broke out in cold sweat on his back.
Mu Xianzhai smiled and peeled the orange for himself. After trying, it was indeed sour and he frowned slightly. But Mu Xianzhai still nodded.
"It's delicious."
"Huh, of course!" Li Chang Su was slightly better this time since Mu Xianzhai ate citrus fruits as well. "So I asked them to eat, why is it so hard? It's just an orange!"
"Well, don't be angry. They'll eat the orange." Mu Xianzhai said softly, calming his sensitive wife since her pregnancy.
The man finally looked at Mu Hongzhi and Lit. "Eat!" His tone was full of oppression, a kind of true coercion.
"..." - ".Lict and Mu Hongzhi wanted to cry without tears. Both can refuse.
In the end, they take the citrus fruit, peel it unconsciously and put a piece in the mouth. Immediately a fairly sharp sour taste breaks in the mouth.
The expression of Lict and Mu Hongzhi became green (unpleasant to look at), wanting to spit it back out but being stared at by Mu Xianzhai like an eagle locking a chicken.
Contrary to the current happy Li Chang Su, they were sad. The mutated white rabbit had already escaped to the golden dragon artifact room and had dinner with the white squirrel.
As for the mutated white horse, it hid quite deep in the darkness. Fearing that the girl would give him a piece of sour orange. He prefers to eat grass instead of oranges.
"Is it good?" li Chang Su asked leisurely.
"Good then. Spend."
"..." - ".Lict and Mu Hongzhi wanted to faint.
Finally Li Chang Su ate two sour oranges and started to get sleepy. Mu Xianzhai took him to the tent for a rest.
Lict and Mu Hongzhi survived the bottomless pit but the citrus fruit in his hand was already exhausted. Both of them actually eat sour oranges. The faces of both of them had long been paralyzed (tired/powerless expression), the numb tongue and the tears that were welling up in the fertilizer had long since dried up.
What torment!
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Over the course of a few days on the journey, they finally arrive at a suspension bridge that has been replaced by a dark guard. Of course they still remember about the suspension bridge that was once damaged, where under the bridge is still an endless abyss.
The lava that once flowed there was now a pile of black sand, feeling somewhat smooth. But who would have guessed that when Li Chang Su threw the stone down, the sand drowned him.
“...” It seems like the lava that had now been extinguished due to the snow on the day of the battle the two dragons had turned into quicksand, thought Li Chang Su.
"It's dangerous ...," muttered Lict. "If we fall there, won't we drown?"
"Yes. It's natural quicksand. Perhaps it was because it contained spiritual energy earlier that it created this kind of suction sand."
Lava contains sand, rocks and the like. Actually, it will not drown objects that there are two around it. Just like sand mixed with gravel, rocks or lapilli and so forth. His nature doesn't suck things.
But this former lava is just the opposite. Like the quicksand in a barren desert.
They don't see Flare anymore either. Li Chang Su only saw him in the god mountains last time, protecting him. Now, I don't know what the lava thing is doing.
"Let's continue the journey. We must arrive at the capital soon" Mu Xianzhai said after reading a secret letter from one of his dark guardians.
"What's wrong?" li Chang Su asked.
"Mu Lizheng dominated the imperial palace at this time and the emperor's father fell ill. The second prince brought his own army to fight Mu Lizheng on the spot ...."
The story is very long. Mu Xianzhai could not tell in the open like this so asked them to immediately cross the bridge.
The current bridge was wider and sturdier so that horse carriages could pass through it without any difficulty. All thanks to the reliable dark guards.
Li Chang Su intended to give them a raise when he arrived at the palace later. The dark guards didn't think too much about it but were naturally happy.
The princess finally cared about them. In the future, they should please it more so that bonuses are also plentiful.
Secretly, the hearts of the dark guard oata leaned towards Li Chang Su. Mu Xianzhai as the original master did not know their thoughts. Even if he knew, he would not be angry, but jealous.
How could the dark guard be more reliable than the husband himself right?
The trip this time was very good. They did not find any obstacles along the way but some semi mutated beasts could still be found.
"Oh, wait! Why do I feel that the white bear is a bit familiar?" ask the litt after arriving across the bridge.
