Chapter 187: Chapter 183 Grandpa Gu’s Mobility Issues

Zhang Qian and the others followed behind Xuanyuan Que as they descended the mountain, and they were all astonished to see Xuanyuan Que, who was only a head taller than Ruo Xuan and two years her senior, carry Ruo Xuan down the mountain with such ease!

Zhang Jie looked disdainfully at her second brother, "Second brother, you should stop being lazy during martial arts class! You’re four years older than Young Master Xuanyuan, and yet you can’t even carry me! Young Master Xuanyuan is so strong!"

Yan Jiaojiao said, "What’s so surprising about that? My eldest brother and second brother can also carry Lady Xuanbao. My father started training their arm strength since they were one year old. My little cousin is smarter and more diligent than both my elder brothers. He never goes out to play. In a few months, he was already poring over books, and from the age of one, he practiced martial arts every day. Since he turned one, he spent at least five hours practicing martial arts, no less than three hours reading, one hour practicing calligraphy, one hour drawing, with only two hours left for eating and sleeping."

Zhang Lian suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.

The Ninth Prince is this hardworking? Isn’t he a prince? The most beloved prince of the Emperor, with a Crown Prince brother above him, doesn’t have to do anything in this life but be a royal prince!

The son of the Emperor works so hard even when the whole world awaits him to inherit it, how could the son of a mere County Magistrate compare?

He still dreams of becoming the Great General in the future!

Zhang Qian initially thought himself diligent for rising to read before daybreak and sleeping only at dawn, but realizing that the Ninth Prince was even more industrious from the age of one, he felt he had to make greater effort as well.

Zhang Jie, incredulous, said, "Young Master Xuanyuan sleeps only two hours a day, doesn’t he feel sleepy?"

Yan Jiaojiao shook her head, "I don’t know, probably not! He was quite frail as a child, but he persevered nonetheless. Probably because he’s practiced martial arts more in these two years, he’s gotten better."

The children were even more shocked.

He’s simply inhuman!

Xuanyuan Que heard everyone’s conversation, but he didn’t mind.

He carried Ruo Xuan towards the carriage on the official road.

Shopkeeper Gu saw them from afar and quickly ran over with a paper umbrella.

Ruo Xuan, hugging around the neck of Divine Lord Xuanyuan, and leaning on his small shoulders, asked, "Brother Xuanyuan, were you sick as a child because your soul was injured? Did the Demon Lord hurt you?"

Didn’t she block that sword from the Demon Lord for him? Later, the Demon Lord even said he had been hurt?

The Little White Dog ran over at this moment: "Woof woof woof..."

(Don’t talk nonsense, thanks to your favor, Xuanyuan Que, this coward who only hides behind women, is safe and sound! It’s I who was beaten by him until my soul nearly scattered!)

Otherwise, why would he be in such a wretched state, being forced to become both a dog and a pig?

Xuanyuan Que indifferently said, "No."

"Then why?"

Xuanyuan Que remained silent. Helping her restore her soul also came at a price, and the exhaustion of ten thousand years of cultivation was just one part of it. Besides, after reincarnating, her soul had not fully recovered, and he had to continue cultivating to help her heal, or else she would be like a wooden person for her entire life.

Ruo Xuan wasn’t the kind of person who probed endlessly. Mainly, the sun-kissed scent of Divine Lord Xuanyuan was just too delightful, and she couldn’t resist the urge to sleep, so she stopped asking.

Ruo Xuan yawned, rubbed her cheek against his neck, found a comfortable position for her head, and instantly fell asleep (entering a state of restorative sleep).

Her body was equivalent to that of a human child aged three or four, and these past days she had been running around in the fields, exhausting her Spiritual Power every day to expedite the growth of the flowers and herbs she had planted, which was beyond her limits. Once relaxed, she would automatically enter a hibernation-like state to recuperate and cultivate.

The Demon Lord Little White Dog, seeing Ruo Xuan so comfortably perched on Xuanyuan Que, and with the rain, the newly tilled ground became muddy with one step. It couldn’t walk properly, so it wanted to jump onto Ruo Xuan’s back.

But as soon as it leaped, it was sent flying by an invisible force!

The Demon Lord Little White Dog was thrown out, rolled over on the ridge of the field, not harming a single sprout, but its glossy white fur was covered in mud.

With its paws flailing in the air, it struggled for a bit before rolling over and getting back on its feet, barking furiously.

Xuanyuan Que casually cast a Spell, insulating all the barking sounds, ensuring that Ruo Xuan couldn’t hear a thing and remained peacefully asleep.

Shopkeeper Gu approached Xuanyuan Que, "Young Master, let me carry Lady Xuanbao for you!"

Xuanyuan Que indifferently said, "There’s no need."

Knowing that his word was final, Shopkeeper Gu simply held the umbrella over them both.

With Shopkeeper Gu by his side, Xuanyuan Que could no longer use his spells to shield the two from the rain. He could only create a small barrier over Ruo Xuan’s head, preventing the rain from waking her with its cold touch.

They soon arrived at the carriage, and Xuanyuan Que carried Ruo Xuan onto it, placing her inside before telling Ruo Shui to take her back to the village first.

Ruo Shui had some instructions to leave for the long-term workers and naturally agreed.

Xuanyuan Que returned to the carriage and said to Shopkeeper Gu, "Back to the villa."

Shopkeeper Gu immediately set off to drive the carriage away.

Inside the carriage, Xuanyuan Que used magic to dry the rain and mud from Ruo Xuan’s clothes and shoes and then covered her with a piece of clothing.

He then used magic to change into a set of clean clothes and shoes for himself.

The soiled clothes were set aside; Shopkeeper Gu would handle them once they returned.

After doing all this, he sat beside Ruo Xuan and closed his eyes to cultivate.

Ruo Xuan could feel the rich spiritual power and the warmth like sunshine. In her dormancy and cultivation state, she moved her body like grass roots instinctively reaching towards water, and her little head ended up resting on his shoulder.

Xuanyuan Que stiffened at the contact, glanced at the sleeping Little Xuanhua, and then ignored her, closing his eyes to continue cultivating.

The carriage shook as it left the official road.

Ruo Xuan’s head nodded, and she woke up in a daze, just in time to hear Shopkeeper Gu asking, "Young master, shall we send Lady Xuanbao back to the village first?"

Xuanyuan Que shifted slightly and infused a trace of spiritual power into Ruo Xuan’s forehead to help her wake up, "Go home or visit the mountain villa to see the mushroom house?"

Clasping her little fists, Ruo Xuan rubbed her eyes. She had been quite groggy, but at the mention of the mushroom house, she instantly perked up, "Is the mushroom house finished?"

"Mm."

"Then I want to see the mushroom house."

So the carriage made its way along the mountain road to the villa.

The carriage stopped in front of the villa’s gates.

It was still raining, and Ruo Xuan did not want to get her shoes wet, surely Divine Lord Xuanyuan had just cleaned them.

Plus, Divine Lord Xuanyuan’s scent of sunshine was too enticing.

So when Xuanyuan Que descended from the carriage and turned to help her down, she flung herself onto Xuanyuan Que!

Xuanyuan Que, afraid she might fall, instinctively caught her.

Wrapping her arms and legs around him like an octopus, Ruo Xuan insisted, "I don’t want to dirty my shoes, Brother Xuanyuan, carry me!"

Xuanyuan Que: "..."

He knew that once this peculiar flower got an inch, she’d take a mile.

If he carried her once, she’d likely never be willing to walk on her own when it rained!

Just as she’d expect to have her hands wiped whenever she extended them after he had done it once.

The mountain path was difficult to navigate, and the young master was still small; how could he carry Lady Xuanbao all the way? Shopkeeper Gu hastened to say, "Xuanbao, shall old master Gu carry you to see it?"

"Yes, thank you, Shopkeeper Gu." Ruo Xuan reached out her hand to Shopkeeper Gu.

A three- or four-year-old child is at the peak of their tenderness, and since everyone at home cherished her, she genuinely did not feel like walking on her own after just waking up.

Xuanyuan Que turned and walked towards the mountain, carrying a flower: "Stop fussing. Old master Gu’s legs are not convenient."

Shopkeeper Gu, proficient in martial arts and as nimble as the wind, capable of joining battles: "..."
