Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 866 - 864_1

Chapter 866: Chapter 864_1

The golden python quickly swam back. It glared at Shangguan Xuanyi. Would a highly intelligent creature like it do something as childish as running away from home? They were clearly traveling around and training Xiao Bai.

The golden python climbed back onto Xiao’er’s calf.

Xiao’er promptly kicked it, causing it to be flung away again.

"Master, you’ve been gone so long. Don’t you miss us?" the golden python complained mournfully.

Xiao’er ignored it, calling out in her mind: "Xiao Bai, Bai Tian, Tian Bai, are you there? I miss you guys so much!"

The golden python: "..."

So, she just didn’t miss it?

"Master, we miss you too." Quickly, the replies from the three geese came into Xiao’er’s mind. Following which, four swans appeared in the distant horizon.

"How did you all get here?" Xiao’er was wondering where these guys had run off to as they hadn’t returned home for two years! Xiao Bai even transformed from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan!

"Xiao Bai sensed a significant energy fluctuation here, so we came to check it out," Bai Tian replied.

"Master, I detected you from far away and rushed over immediately. Aren’t I impressive?" The golden python knew it had startled Xiao’er earlier, so it was trying to curry favor now.

Xiao’er ignored it. It dared to scare her, its master, after being away for a while. It seemed she really needed to teach it a lesson.

Shangguan Xuanyi led Xiao’er towards a small boat.

As General Di needed to supervise the soldiers setting up camp here, he arranged for a few of them to ferry them across.

The soldiers rowed the boat, and soon they arrived at the largest island.

After the boat pulled ashore, Xiao’er told the soldiers, "Wait for us here, we can go up by ourselves."

Xiao Bai and the others had already landed on the island. Xiao’er planned to take them back into the space. As for the golden python, she decided to forget about it!

The soldiers nodded in agreement.

Shangguan Xuanyi carried Xiao’er and leaped onto the shore.

The two of them headed towards the center of the island.

Knowing Xiao’er’s intentions, the golden python rolled around her feet. However, Xiao’er ignored it completely.

"Master, I helped you drive away all the sea snakes on this island. Won’t you ignore me anymore? I know I was wrong. I won’t do it again next time."

Upon hearing this, Xiao’er abruptly stopped. There were snakes on this island? She looked down at the golden python, which was sticking out its tongue and acting submissive, and was speechless for a while before finally saying: "Well then, go!"

"Right away!" The golden python quickly lifted its head and slithered away.

Xiao’er was here to see if there were fresh water and places to grow vegetables and grains on this reef island.

If the soldiers were to live here, there had to be something to eat and drink. It wasn’t possible to eat fish every day, was it?

Alright then! If there was nothing else to eat, they would have to eat fish every day.

The biggest fear of survival on a small island is the lack of fresh water resources and food.

Always needing to transport fresh water or rely on collecting rainwater to live is a hassle.

That’s why none of the nations were willing to station troops or claim this archipelago for themselves. Even Nangong Country that was closest didn’t want it, and other countries were even more reluctant to go to such trouble.

"I wonder if there will be an island with fresh water resources here in the future. It’s no good always having to transport water!" Xiao’er muttered while walking.

At that moment, three swans simultaneously landed on Xiao’er’s head and shoulders, almost collapsing her under their combined weight.

Upon seeing this, they quickly flew down onto the ground.

"There isn’t any here right now, but there might be after the big earthquake. The islands should change a bit after the big earthquake." Bai Tian responded.

"Big earthquake? When will it happen?" Xiao’er was startled by the news.

"About half a year later!"

Half a year later! This startled Xiao’er, but she was relieved after realizing that it wasn’t in the near future.

However, if crust movements were to significantly change the islands, such an earthquake would undoubtedly be extraordinary.

By then, Zhan’er Island would undoubtedly be impacted as well.

"Bai Tian, you scared me! I thought there was going to be a big earthquake soon! Then can I still escape? But when did you become so powerful? You can even predict big earthquakes half a year later?"

"It’s not me who predicted it, but Xiao Bai. However, there will be a small earthquake here in half a month. Master, it’s better not to stay here for long!" Bai Tian proudly replied.

Its child was so powerful, of course, it was proud!

"It’s nothing impressive," Xiao Bai modestly replied.

Xiao’er looked at Xiao Bai, who had grown into a swan, and noticed another shy swan standing next to him. Naturally, it was also very beautiful.

"Xiao Bai, is this your wife?" Xiao’er excitedly asked.

Xiao Bai nodded, "Yes, Master. Do you think my wife is beautiful?"

Xiao’er grinned and nodded, "Beautiful, just as beautiful as you!"

All the swans in the world looked pretty much the same, with only differences in their size and weight. Xiao’er thought they were all beautiful!

Xiao Bai was delighted with the compliment: "Master, can you name my wife?"

"What do you usually call her?"

"Wife." Xiao Bai honestly replied.

Xiao’er glanced at Xiao Bai, "What a master pick-up artist, he’s already learned to call her ’wife’!"

Xiao’er then turned to Bai Tian and Tian Bai, "What do you usually call her?"

"Daughter-in-law!"

Alright then, Xiao’er was defeated. She couldn’t bring herself to follow their calling!

"Let’s name her Bai Xiao!"

Bai Xiao!!!

Bai Tian: "..."

Tian Bai: "..."

Xiao Bai: "..."

They all knew that their master was casual about naming things, but they didn’t expect her to be this casual!

"Why? Don’t you like it? Or we could name her Bai Se?"

The three geese regretted it. If they had known, they’d have named her themselves!

"Bai Yun?" Seeing their faces like they’d been struck by lightning, Xiao’er tried to suppress her laughter and suggested another name.

"Fair enough, Bai Yun it is! My dear, from now on, you’ll be called Yun’er!" Xiao Bai decisively spoke up, determined to not let the master name their future children.

Xiao’er looked at Xiao Bai meaningfully. He thought she couldn’t guess what he was thinking? Xiao’er came back with a retort: "Xiao Bai, in the future, let’s name your son Bai Yan and your daughter Bai Hua!"

Bai Yan? Bai Hua? Bai Tian and Tian Bai couldn’t help laughing, their feathers ruffling up.

Future grandchildren, please forgive us. We simply can’t help ourselves!

Xiao Bai glanced at Yun’er and decided to get sterilized. It decided not to have any more children, alright?

After Xiao’er was done joking around, she finally said, "Alright, thank you, Yun’er, for choosing Xiao Bai. You guys should hurry home!"

Xiao’er ended the conversation and brought the geese back into the space.

Xiao Bai mumbled to herself, miffed that Xiao’er asked Yun’er if she was satisfied with it. "Am I that bad?"

Back in the day when it roamed the world, it completely won the hearts of thousands of young swans, right? With a master like her... it was actually tempting not to go home!

The Bai Tian had said there wasn’t fresh water here, so Xiao’er decided she wouldn’t bother looking around anymore. Even if she did, it would be pointless since everything would change in half a year anyway!
