Chapter 1186 - 1186 575 Protecting the Cubs (Second Update)

Chapter 1186: 575 Protecting the Cubs (Second Update) Chapter 1186: 575 Protecting the Cubs (Second Update) “Oh,” Huangfu Xian’s expression relaxed imperceptibly.

“Big brother! You’re awake!”

The little mushroom had arrived.

Doctor Song smiled and said to little Jingkong, “Jingkong’s here? You chat with the big brother for a while. I’ll take Xiaobao out first.”

“Mhm!” Little Jingkong nodded vigorously.

Doctor Song carried Gu Xiaobao, who was sucking his fingers, out, and little Jingkong trotted to the bedside, his big, round eyes staring at Huangfu Xian, “Big brother, you’ve slept for two whole days! How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?”

Huangfu Xian thought, Do all the people here speak in the same way when asking questions?

“No,” Huangfu Xian replied nonchalantly.

Little Jingkong leaned on the bed edge, blinking at him, “Are you hungry then?”

Huangfu Xian said, “Not hungry.”

“You’re amazing. You haven’t eaten anything for two days and you’re not hungry.” Little Jingkong pointed to the bed beneath him, “You’re sleeping in my bed! Is it comfortable?”

Huangfu Xian said, “Your bed is very hard.”

Huangfu Xian liked a soft bed, while little Jingkong was used to sleeping on hard beds in the Temple, coincidentally Xiao Hen, who had fallen on hard times over the years, also slept on hard beds.

Little Jingkong lay sprawled on the bed, his little feet kicking rhythmically on the floor, “Jiaojiao’s bed is very soft, but, but it can’t be given to you to sleep in. Only I can sleep in Jiaojiao’s bed.”

Huangfu Xian glanced at him sideways, muttering discontentedly, “Who wants to sleep in it?”

Suddenly, little Jingkong pulled out a small milk pastry from his pouch, “Big brother, do you want to eat this?”

Huangfu Xian turned his face away, “I don’t eat this kind of stuff.”

Little Jingkong stuffed the milk pastry into his mouth.

A rich creamy flavor spread between his lips and teeth, carrying a delicate sweetness, and Huangfu Xian was suddenly stunned.

Little Jingkong tilted his little head, asking, “Is it tasty? Jiaojiao made it!”

Huangfu Xian didn’t speak, just hummed vaguely with it in his mouth.

Meanwhile, Gu Jiao had finally finished treating the last patient. Without taking a break, she changed into her night gear and planned to go out. Just as she reached the doorway, she was blocked by Princess Xinyang’s carriage.

Yujin opened the curtains for Princess Xinyang, who looked indifferently at Gu Jiao and asked, “Dressed up like that, where are you going?”

“Cough, cough!”

A man’s cough came from inside the carriage.

“Shut up,” Princess Xinyang turned and said.

Xiao Hen clammed up.

“Get in,” Princess Xinyang said to Gu Jiao.

“Oh,” Gu Jiao, holding the Red-Tasseled Spear, got into the carriage.

Yujin pursed her lips and smiled, “I’ll go prepare some tea.”

After saying that, she got down from the carriage.

Only Princess Xinyang, Xiao Hen, and Gu Jiao were left in the carriage.

Xiao Hen was dressed for going out, also caught halfway by Princess Xinyang, who had come to catch Gu Jiao afterward.

With a stern face, Princess Xinyang glanced at Gu Jiao’s Red-Tasseled Spear, “What? Planning to destroy those people’s lair?”

Xiao Hen opened his mouth.

Princess Xinyang said, “I wasn’t asking you.”

Xiao Hen shut himself off again.

Gu Jiao blinked, “Princess Ning An ran away, didn’t she? I’m off to catch her.”

“Am I not here anymore? Do you need to catch her? Such a young age and you worry too much!” After speaking coldly, Princess Xinyang reached out to snatch the Red-Tasseled Spear from Gu Jiao’s hand. She failed to grab it on the first attempt and looked embarrassed.

“Let me,” Xiao Hen grabbed hold of the Red-Tasseled Spear, wrapped in cloth, and took it from his wife and his own mother’s hands.

“Tsk,”

It’s really heavy!

He nearly didn’t catch it.

But in front of his wife and mother, he couldn’t show weakness; Xiao Hen still managed to place the Red-Tasseled Spear on his lap without changing his expression.

“Heavy?” Princess Xinyang chuckled.

As if it were nothing, Xiao Hen said, “Not heavy at all. This carriage is just too small, or else I could show you a thing or two with the spear.”

Princess Xinyang gave a cold huff, “I let her go that night on purpose. The person I release, I keep track of. I might not be of much help in a war, but dealing with a few remnants is more than within my capabilities. You just stay home and wait.”

Gu Jiao said, “It seems like Yan Country has ways to counter the Dragon Shadow Guard.”

Princess Xinyang hmm’ed, “I know, don’t worry.”

Xiao Hen didn’t move.

If he didn’t move, Gu Jiao also didn’t move.

Princess Xinyang said to Xiao Hen, “What are you doing standing there? Aren’t you going to get down?”

Xiao Hen smiled, “I just thought of spending more time with you.”

Princess Xinyang said to Gu Jiao, “He can’t move it.”

Xiao Hen: “…” Can she really expose her son like that?

Gu Jiao’s lips curved slightly as she took the Red-Tasseled Spear and got down from the carriage.
