Chapter 440: Chapter 396: Giving Birth to a Great-Grandson for My Maternal Grandmother_3

He swung his Heavy Sword, stomped hard with his heel, and leapt into the air like a crashing Star Hammer, slashing down heavily towards Liu Muye’s head.

The wild Sword Qi made Liu Muye’s sleeves ripple on their own without any wind.

Liu Muye calmly and unhurriedly reached out his hand.

Clang!

Chen Long’s Heavy Sword was flicked away.

Chen Long immediately twisted his waist and retreated a zhang away.

He stared dumbfounded at the Heavy Sword embedded in the ground, unable to believe that the opponent had disarmed him with just two fingers.

Liu Muye, exuding an aura of effortless authority, said, "Pick up your sword and try again!"

...

"Try again."

...

"Is this all you’ve got, Chen Long?"

...

"You can’t even hold your sword—what talk is there of revenge?"

...

Ji Li and Si Snake were watching the entire fight.

Ji Li forgot to even show off his usual flair: "Snake, do you think Chen Long’s getting beaten up a bit too badly?"

Si Snake glanced at Chen Long, who was trembling all over and about to collapse: "The Goddess is teaching him Martial Arts."

The Miao King, tied up on a tree like a cocoon, whimpered, "Wuwuwu... Xian’er is so beautiful and kindhearted... I’m so moved..."

Inside the room, Ban Xia was packing luggage for Meng Qianqian.

Tan’er was there as well.

Her luggage had already been packed by Ah Man.

At the moment, she was leisurely sitting in the room eating pastries.

"Witch Mountain pan-fried cakes, so delicious!"

She was swaying her legs in enjoyment.

"Tan’er, girl."

Za Muduo entered the room with a smile and saluted Meng Qianqian, "Young Madam."

Meng Qianqian nodded: "Za Muduo, has Grandmother given any instructions?"

Za Muduo smiled and said, "I’m here for Tan’er. The Goddess has a gift for you."

Tan’er jumped down from the chair with a swish: "I get one too?"

She had long known that the group had been taking turns receiving gifts from the Goddess, and she was incredibly envious.

Za Muduo opened the box: "Tan’er, please take a look."

Inside was a pair of Heavenly Silkworm Silk Armor Gloves, even three degrees more impressive than the silver thread gloves given to Meng Qianqian by the Miao King. While Meng Qianqian’s gloves could only defend against Gu Worms, the Heavenly Silkworm Silk Gloves were impervious to blades and spears. For Tan’er, who used her fists as weapons, they were the perfect treasures.

"I love them! I love them!"

Tan’er shouted excitedly, clutching the gloves as she dashed out, "Grandmother—these gloves the Goddess gave me—I love them so much—"

Crack!

Tan’er was hung on a tree by Liu Muye.

Liu Muye turned to Chen Long, who was panting like an ox, and said, "Pick up your sword. Don’t make me look down on you!"

-

The departure was set for tomorrow. Meng Qianqian had been in Shang Changle’s room for quite a while; when she came out, she noticed Bai Yuwei loitering nearby, sneaking around.

Bai Yuwei quickly hid when she saw Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian called out to her, "Little Sister."

Bai Yuwei froze in her steps and slowly turned around, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Meng Qianqian curled her lips into a faint smile: "Little Sister, are you here to bid me farewell?"

Bai Yuwei murmured softly, "Are you... really going to the Liang Country?"

Meng Qianqian nodded: "Yes."

Bai Yuwei whispered, "I want to go too."

Meng Qianqian said gently, "Little Sister, you’ve been away from home for so long. Father, Mother, and Brother must be worried about you."

Bai Yuwei’s eyes reddened: "But all of you are going... even Tan’er is going... and I can’t..."

Meng Qianqian looked at the aggrieved Bai Yuwei and suddenly realized that she had neglected her during this time while caring for Shang Changle. She couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt.

Bai Yuwei’s tears began to fall.

Meng Qianqian took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears: "I promise you, once the Liang Country matter is resolved, I’ll come find you at the Bai Family."

Bai Yuwei sobbed, "How long will it take?"

Meng Qianqian replied, "Not too long."

Bai Yuwei burst into tears.

Treasure Piggy waddled over, holding a tabby cat in her left hand and a wolf cub in her right, with a dog brother and a trail of new recruits following behind. She raised her head, blinking as she watched Bai Yuwei cry.

Bai Yuwei turned around and cried, "Don’t look!"

Treasure Piggy circled in front of her.

Raised her head, and just stared.

Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan had discussed it and decided not to bring Bao Shu on the journey to the Southwest.

The Crown Prince of Great Liang was getting married, and forces from all sides had been invited. Even the ten major feudal lords might be among the invitees.

This trip was too dangerous—that was one reason.

The second reason was that leaving Bao Shu behind could make up, in a small way, for the regret Liu Muye felt for not being able to watch Lu Yuan grow up.

On the day of their departure, Bao Shu hugged her tabby and wolf cubs, sending everyone off.

Meng Qianqian kissed her on the cheek: "Father and Mother have to go away for a while. Once we’re done with our task, we’ll come back for you. Be good and listen to your Great-Grandmother, alright?"

Bao Shu nodded obediently.

The Miao King swaggered over, patted his chest, and declared, "Xian’er, I’ll stay at Witch Mountain to accompany you!"

Liu Muye said, "You have your own mission."

The Miao King waved his hand dramatically, "My mission is to protect you!"
