Chapter 390: How Fortunate

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

That night, the Xiongnu people could not sleep at night.

Chernan’s mind was filled with the strength that the Great Xia people had deliberately revealed in front of him. He felt a sense of defeat as if his heavy fist was gently stopped. Chercha discussed with his advisors all night and remembered the bottom line that Xiongnu could give in to.

Meanwhile, at Cheryan’s place, he was carrying the melon that he had bought at a high price from Xiaoxiao’s experimental field with a playful expression.

“So not only is that woman not a maidservant, but she’s also Xiao Ran’s long-lost biological daughter?”

“Did she make all the fruits and vegetables that grow on the land here?”

The guard reported, “More than that. It’s said that she made the Clairvoyant that stunned the Second Prince today according to the ancient books.”

He said, “Master, from the looks of it, she’s indeed the best candidate for marriage, but we can’t let the First Prince get her. Why don’t…”

Chernan glanced at him. “Why don’t I? Why do you let your Master learn from my stupid Eldest Brother and let me annoy Xiao Ran because I proposed marriage to that girl?”

“Use your brain more in everything. Since she’s so important, how can Great Xia bear to hand her over to our Xiongnu? How can Xiao Ran fancy our Xiongnu? Moreover, according to what I know, the Xiao Family’s daughter and Rong Yan are a couple.”

“Proposing marriage to her will definitely offend Xiao Ran and the Third Prince of Great Xia at the same time. Only my self-proclaimed strategist, Eldest Brother, can do such a suicidal act. Didn’t you see that all the officials negotiating with Great Xia today didn’t look at him?”

“Eldest Brother is really stupid. It wasn’t easy for him to escape, but he didn’t focus on dealing with Second Brother and insisted on causing trouble.” The guard asked, “Why don’t we set another trap for him?”

Cheryan waved his hand. “The same move won’t work the second time. Moreover, it’s good that he’s alive now. It just so happens that Chernan has been too arrogant recently. He needs someone to suppress him.”

Only when the two of them fought to the death could he sit back and reap the benefits.

“Have you found out who saved Eldest Brother back then?” How troublesome. Did they think it was easy for him to scheme against Chercha and Chernan? Chernan was really stupid. He should have killed him as soon as he was caught. He actually let him live for so long.

The guard lowered his head. “I’m useless.”

Cheryan sighed. “Forget it. It’s probably not the time yet. Let’s see them fight for a while more.”

“By the way, remember to hide that woman’s identity. No, just hide it from Eldest Brother. As for Second Brother…”

Late at night, Rong Yan, who had finished everything, sat for a while and suddenly reached out to pinch himself.

Hiss, it hurt.

Then it wasn’t a dream.

Everything Xiaoxiao showed him in the day was true!

This was unbelievable!

Xiaoxiao looked at the wrinkled face of the mature boy from the space. He looked at his hands and patted the wall beside the bed, looking very uneasy and distressed.

She retreated out of the courtyard considerately and pretended to have just walked over.

Hearing the guard outside call her “Miss”, Rong Yan knew that it was Xiaoxiao. He patted his face and only opened the door to welcome her in after confirming that his expression was normal.

“You’re here.”

Xiaoxiao, who was holding a plate of snacks:… Little Big Brother adjusts quite quickly.

Sending snacks was an excuse. She wants to tell him about the space and Xiongnu’s trip. After Xiaoxiao confirmed that Rong Yan was mentally prepared, she held his hand and with a whoosh, the world changed.

“Want to get some sleep first?”

Rong Yan’s calm heart was in turmoil. How could he sleep under such circumstances?

“That won’t be necessary.”

He tried his best to let his gaze drift away, wanting to find something else to divert his attention. Then, he saw a large area of farmland, lakes, and pastures. The golden rice ears stretched as far as the eye could see. The fish and prawns in the clear lake were plump, and the pastures were all thriving.

In the stable beside the ranch, many horses that looked similar snorted. Wind, who was different from them, ran around the space and even threw Rong Yan a provocative look behind him.

Under such gazes, a white shadow hurriedly flew past, swaying its burly and short body as it chased forward. In the blink of an eye, it was lost in Wind’s shadow.

Rong Yan was wondering where this stupid rabbit came from when he saw it turn around and hug Xiaoxiao’s leg aggrievedly. He actually felt that this rabbit looked a little familiar.

Xiaoxiao pushed it away in amusement and said to Rong Yan, “You haven’t seen Scarf in a long time, right?”

It took Rong Yan a long time to realize that “Scarf” was the rabbit he had hunted back then. He squatted down and raised his hand to pinch this seemingly furry but actually chubby body. Scarf immediately bared its teeth and turned around to bite him.

Rong Yan wouldn’t let it be impudent. Scarf’s ears were lifted in an instant. The moment it met the man’s gaze, Scarf recalled the days when it was humiliated and had to survive under his hands. It became bold and its front teeth chattered.

Rong Yan said, “I remember you studied cooking three dishes with one rabbit at that time.”

Scarf immediately put away its “fangs” and raised its front claws obediently. When Rong Yan put it down, the rabbit ran away from this dangerous person.

Rong Yan found it funny. “This rabbit looks much smarter than before.”

Xiaoxiao nodded and said proudly, “I realized that animals brought in from outside will become smarter after staying in the space for a while. For example, Scarf, Walnut, and Wind and Lightning can understand me. Do you still remember Walnut? It’s the mastiff that Shen Tianci gave me. It’s a good guard dog. Now, Walnut is the guard when my father goes to the fields to plant rice.” “Walnut was very smart. One time, he encountered an evil person who wanted to steal the rice. Because he was afraid of Walnut, he stuffed poison into a meat bun and wanted to poison it to death. However, Walnut was smart. Not only did he pounce on the evil person, but it also stuffed the poisonous bun into the thief’s mouth. He was so frightened that he fainted on the spot…”

It had been a long time since Rong Yan had such a simple chat. There were dangers everywhere in the border city, and he needed to be tense at all times. He could not relax at all. Listening to Xiaoxiao’s soft nagging, he fell asleep unknowingly.

Beside her, he seemed to be sleeping especially peacefully. When he woke up in a deep sleep, he was a little groggy. Before he opened his eyes, he asked, “How long did I sleep?”

Xiaoxiao’s sweet voice answered from the side, “According to the time here, you slept for six hours, but according to the time outside, you only took a few sips of tea.”

After opening his eyes, Rong Yan’s originally clear mind was a little blurry. Was he in the space Xiaoxiao mentioned, or had he returned to his room?

Xiaoxiao chuckled. “I was afraid that you wouldn’t be used to sleeping here, so I copied your room in.”

Then, Rong Yan felt his body tremble slightly, and the place where the two of them were, became that vast space again.

This feeling was a little familiar. He asked, “Have you used this spell on me before?”

Xiaoxiao smiled. “It’s not a spell, but I’ve used it before.”

No wonder he almost never felt weak even though he was worried and tired every day. It turned out that Xiaoxiao had always been by his side, helping and taking care of him in her way.

What right did he have to be lucky enough to meet the three members of the Xiao Family?
