GENERAL, YOUR WIFE IS REQUESTING YOUR RETURN HOME FOR FARMING - Chapter 1315: The Saintess Awakens

Chapter 1315: The Saintess Awakens

Editor: Atlas Studios

The Saintess fell asleep for three days.

When she woke up, it was the morning of the fourth day. The golden light of dawn shone through the gaps in the window frame and onto her exquisite eyebrows.

She felt something furry nuzzling her arm.

She subconsciously grabbed the little thing and opened her eyes.

Xiaohu, who had been raised high, tilted his head and said, “Cheng Xin, are you awake?”

“Yes?”

The Saintess was stunned and gently put Xiaohu down. She also calmly sat up.

Dahu and Erhu were also there.

Erhu lay by the bed and Xiaohu stomped his feet.

Dahu stood upright with the demeanor of an elder brother.

The Saintess looked at them in shock.

Erhu asked, “Cheng Xin, where did you go? Why did you take so long to come back?”

Xiaohu asked, “That’s right, Cheng Xin. Where did you go? I couldn’t find you!”

Dahu did not say anything. There was a hint of inquiry in his seriousness.

“I…”

The Saintess lowered her eyes.

Xing’er walked in with a bowl of plain porridge. “Alright, Cheng Xin just woke up. She must be starving. Can you let Cheng Xin eat something first?”

“Yes!”

The three little ones nodded and went out to play.

Xing’er placed the plain porridge on the table and came to the bed to ask the Saintess, “Are you feeling unwell?”

The Saintess shook her head.

Xing’er reached out and touched the Saintess’ forehead like her Miss usually did, but the Saintess dodged her.

Xing’er said, “Yo, you’re not letting me touch you.”

The Saintess was about to get out of bed when she lifted the blanket and realized that there were many things inside. There was crisp candy, small stones, and a small flower drum.

Seeing her confused expression, Xing’er explained to her, “Dahu gave you the crispy candy, Erhu gave the little stones, and Xiaohu gave you the little flower drum. They said that they would give them to you so that you can wake up early.”

The Saintess grabbed the sticky bedding. “The sugar is stuck.”

Xing’er cleared her throat. “Ahem, it was originally wrapped in glutinous rice paper. Xiaohu secretly licked it a few times.”

After the Saintess washed up, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and Xing’er combed her hair.

Seeing that her eyes were always searching for something, Xing’er understood and said, “Miss went to buy herbs. She’ll be back soon.”

The Saintess said, “Yes.”

–

Su Xiaoxiao returned an hour later.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw… the lively Saintess.

Su Xiaoxiao’s expression was indescribable. “What… is she doing?”

“Miss!” Xing’er took Su Xiaoxiao’s medicine basket and looked at the Saintess, who was climbing the tree. “Cheng Xin wants to go to the roof, but I don’t think she can fly up, so… this is it.”

With her internal strength gone, her qinggong naturally could not be activated. This was not strange.

What was strange was her posture when climbing the tree.

Su Xiaoxiao said awkwardly, “Others would climb trees with their hands and feet, one after another. Why did she… jump?”

She hugged the tree with both hands and jumped.

Was she a rabbit?

Xing’er said awkwardly, “Ahem, Xiaohu taught her this.”

This was how Xiaohu climbed trees.

The Saintess danced… Uh, no, climbed very seriously.

Finally, she climbed to the treetops and followed them up to the roof.

She sat down where she had sat countless times.

This was what she liked to do. Su Xiaoxiao usually wouldn’t interfere with her.

Soon, it was time to take medicine.

Su Xiaoxiao called her down. “Cheng Xin, take your medicine.”

The Saintess stood up expressionlessly and jumped as casually as usual.

Duang!

She fell.

She fell facedown!

Su Xiaoxiao slapped her forehead.

She had forgotten to remind her that her internal strength was gone…

It seemed that she had to find an opportunity to recover her internal strength.

In the evening, Lu Aotian came to the City Lord Manor.

“Something happened to the Walkabout Sect!”

The Palace Lord asked, “What happened?”

Lu Aotian’s treatment had increased exponentially. In the past, he had come to see Wei Ting, but now, he could see the Palace Lord directly.

Lu Aotian said, “Aiya, the Scripture Depository of the City Lord’s Mansion was broken into. The injured said that the other party was a woman. Her figure and skills were very similar to the sect master of the Walkabout Sect. Then, the Ghost Concubine was captured by the City Lord’s Manor!”

Lu Aotian knew how to judge the situation. He could tell from the martial arts competition that the Ghost Concubine had a deep relationship with Palace Lord Yun. Therefore, when something happened to the other party, he immediately came to report.

The Palace Lord nodded. “I understand. Thank you, Sect Master Lu.”

Lu Aotian cupped his hands and said, “Palace Lord Yun, you’re welcome!”

The Palace Lord said, “Recently, a new batch of sheep has arrived in the village. If Sect Master Lu doesn’t mind, bring some back.”

Lu Aotian said, “How can I accept this… Where’s the sheep?”

–

In the meeting hall of the City Lord Manor, Xiahou Qing sat at the master seat, and the four elders sat on both sides.

Xiahou Zheng and Xie Jinnian stood in the lobby.

The few of them stared at the Ghost Concubine in the middle of the hall and the guards of the City Lord Manor who confronted her.

“Are you sure it’s her?” Xiahou Zheng asked.

The guard said seriously, “The figure is very similar, and so is the height! The face… is also this face!”

The Ghost Concubine mocked, “Don’t you know that there’s something called a disguise technique?”

Elder Liu said, “It might be easy to change your appearance, but the Walkabout Palm is your Walkabout Sect’s unique palm technique. From the injuries, the attacker has at least cultivated to the sixth level. In your Walkabout Sect, only you, Ghost Concubine, has cultivated to this realm.”

The Ghost Concubine snorted. “Anyway, it’s not me!”

Xiahou Zheng said, “My second brother went to the Walkabout Sect to investigate. You didn’t return to the sect last night. Where did you go?”

The Ghost Concubine’s lips moved.

Xiahou Zheng said calmly, “You can’t say it, or you don’t dare to say it? If no one can testify for you, you won’t be able to escape your crime. Trespassing the Scripture Depository is a capital offense. If you’re stubborn, your crime will increase and your entire sect will be implicated.”

The Ghost Concubine’s eyes turned cold.

“She was at my Hundred Flowers Palace last night!”

The Palace Lord’s domineering voice sounded outside the meeting hall.

“Move aside!”

Ling Yun berated.

The two guards looked at the City Lord in the meeting hall. Seeing that the City Lord did not stop them, the two of them obediently moved aside.

The Palace Lord walked in.

Ghost Concubine looked at Palace Lord.

The Palace Lord said to her, “What’s there to be afraid of? Isn’t it just asking you to teach my son martial arts?”

Xiahou Zheng asked with a faint smile, “Was she teaching all night?”

The Palace Lord said coldly, “Hasn’t Eldest Young Master practiced martial arts overnight? No wonder he can’t defeat those from the Assassin Alliance. I heard that in order to increase their cultivation, the disciples of the Assassin Alliance can go on for ten days without sleep.”

Xiahou Zheng choked.

Xiahou Qing asked, “Why did you look for the Walkabout Sect to practice martial arts?”

The Palace Lord said righteously, “Ling’er was injured in his mother’s womb and was born weak. The martial arts of the Hundred Flowers Palace are not suitable for him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have not learned any internal energy after so many years. The Ghost Concubine said that she had a way, so I invited her over to try.”

At the mention of the accident in Ling Yun’s mother’s womb, Xiahou Qing lost his confidence.

Back then, he was the one who injured Yun Xi. He was the one who caused his son’s body to be weak.

Ling Yun looked at Xiahou Qing and said, “Now that the matter is clear, can my Master leave?”

Elder Liu said to the City Lord, “This is against the rules. Palace Lord Yun is clearly covering up. We have to investigate the Hundred Flowers Palace…”

Ling Yun said syllable by syllable, “Father.”

Xiahou Qing’s heart skipped a beat!

“Ling’er…”

Palace Lord said to Ghost Concubine, “Let’s go.”
