Mistress of the Mysterious Inn - C194

Little Pei hid the scale behind his back, and looked at his uncle timidly.

He originally wanted to argue that it was because he was too fat that he accidentally scraped the scales off his body. However, it was better not to lie to a deity.

“Uncle, I was wrong.” Little Pei obediently offered the scale up with both hands.

“Silly child.” The Captive Cow let out a light sigh and took Little Pei’s scales. He ordered him to create a Golden Dragon and press the scales back onto his nephew’s body.

“Uncle, I don’t feel pain anymore.” Little Pei said.

“Little Pei, you are a Golden Dragon with a rare Dragon Clan. The power of the golden scales on your body is limitless. “Did you hear what your mother said to Miss Bi? Similarly, she would never let you sacrifice anything for her. If she knew that you wiped away those precious golden scales for her, she would be sad.”

“Uncle.” Little Pei lowered his head, appearing to be very obedient. However, he sincerely said, “No matter how precious my golden scales are, they can’t compare to my mother’s. Uncle, for my mother’s sake, Little Pei is willing to do anything.”

Captive Cow snickered: “You little idiot, how much lifespan is your mother, have you forgotten?”

Little Pei stared at his uncle blankly, then suddenly understood. Due to the interference of the Heavenly Court, the heavens used heavenly lightning to kill her mother, causing her to die. But if it wasn’t for that incident, her mother’s lifespan would still be very long.

The Captive Cow rubbed the child’s head, “Little Pei, you have to listen to me, if not, the next time Uncle comes, he will take you away.”

“Yes, uncle. I will do as you say.”

“Your uncle understands that you are worried about your mother, but you have to believe that mortals are more powerful than Deities.” The Captive Cow flew over and his voice floated far away, “Little Pei, be an ordinary mortal child and properly enjoy your life.”

Little Pei bowed towards his uncle. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise, and a huge boulder exploded.

When he saw that his father and mother were safe and that they were both supporting the injured, he felt at ease. He flew back to his Baisha Town with a peace of mind and waited for his father and mother to return home.

On the other hand, everyone had moved to a safe zone. It was already dark, so they had to rest and count the number of people. The ones with the heaviest injuries did not cause any harm, so Wei Tengfei was at ease.

As for himself, he might have to lie down for half the night to gradually regain his mobility. He was also worried that if he tried to move forcefully, he would injure his muscles and bones.

Hanxi followed Xiaowan busily around, delivering water and food to the soldiers. Her back hurt, but she had forgotten to do it until everyone rested in the middle of the night. Hanxi couldn’t sleep because of the pain, and couldn’t help but make painful sounds.

“Hanxi, what’s wrong?” Xiaowan woke up from hearing a commotion and lit a candle to bring it closer. She saw that Hanxi’s face was pale and beads of sweat were rolling down her face.

“Sister-in-law, my back hurts …” Hanxi said.

“Let me see, was it hit by a stone?” Xiaowan hurriedly untied her clothes, but the moment she touched Hanxi, she trembled in pain. She took off half of her clothes with much difficulty.

Under the candlelight, he saw that there was a bruise on her delicate back that was as big as a bowl, turning black and purple, and even swelling up high. Xiaowan was completely terrified.

“Cough …” Suddenly, Hanxi coughed out a mouthful of blood. She seemed to be on the verge of death, and after reciting some words, she quickly lost consciousness.

In another place, Wei Tengfei was awake and was slowly standing up to stretch when he suddenly heard panicked footsteps outside. He thought it was an attack from a wild beast.

Opening the flap of the tent, Xiaowan raised the candle and asked everywhere: “Doctor, where are you? Doctor, where are you?”

Ling Chaofeng went up to welcome him, and Wei Tengfei also came out. The Xiaowan trembled and said, “Hubby, what do we do?

Wei Tengfei was shocked upon hearing that, he followed Xiaowan to their tent, only to see the delicate girl lying there. Her back was exposed, and the huge bruises were shocking, but she had already fainted.

Everyone’s eyes lit up the room. The military doctor did not care about the difference between man and woman and directly touched them. He was busy to the point where he was sweating profusely.

Just like Wei Tengfei, who guaranteed Miss Bi’s life, the only problem was whether or not the girl’s family could endure this suffering. In the next half a month, Hanxi would be in extreme pain, and she would not be able to leave anyone alive to take care of her.

Wei Tengfei clenched his fist tightly as his heart churned violently. He knew how Hanxi got injured, and that was when Ling Chaofeng had exploded the first huge rock. The earth quaked and the mountains shook. This silly girl was lying on top of him, using her back to block the stone that should have fallen on his head.

“Xiaowan, you and Chao Feng go to my tent, you are tired too, you need to rest.” Wei Tengfei said, “I’ll protect this place, it’s fine now, you can rest assured.”

Xiaowan naturally said: “General, it’s more or less convenient for me to take care of Hanxi. Let me stay behind.”

Ling Chaofeng embraced her shoulders, shook his head, and gestured for his wife to follow him.

Finally, the campsite quietened down once again. Xiaowan was nestled in her husband’s embrace.

Ling Chaofeng kissed her forehead and comforted her: “Sleep, you need to rest and recuperate before you can take care of Miss Bi.”

“Yes.” Xiaowan was very obedient. She closed her eyes and asked out of concern, “Husband, are you full tonight?”

“You’re full, are you hungry?” Ling Chaofeng asked.

“No, I’m just worried about you.” Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly thought of the wild fruits during the day and said, “I had originally saved a big handful of fruits for you to eat when you came back, but who knows who ate them?”

“Birds and beasts?” Ling Chaofeng laughed.

“But it was shaking so badly that the birds flew away.”

“Let the person who eats eat happily.” Ling Chaofeng laughed, “It’s better than wasting it.”

“Alright …” Xiaowan naturally did not fuss over it, she only felt curious, but before she went to sleep, she mumbled to herself, “Hubby, I think of Little Pei, I don’t know if he slept soundly.”

Ling Chaofeng coaxed Xiaowan in a soft voice. Seeing that she was finally sleeping soundly in her arms and covered her with a blanket, she left the tent and came to see Wei Tengfei.

He just saw Wei Tengfei holding the handkerchief, gently wiping the sweat on Hanxi’s forehead. Ling Chaofeng said softly: “General, you need to rest as well. Take care of your body.”

“I’m fine. I know what I’m doing. I’m not trying to be brave.” Wei Tengfei said, “But I never thought that she would receive such a heavy injury because of me. At that time, I asked her if it hurt, and she was still stubborn. This little girl is too stubborn. ”

“Miss Bi may seem weak, but she’s actually very strong.” Ling Chaofeng said, “To be able to send her mother into exile alone, with no intention of backing down, who would believe that she is the young miss of the Shangguan family in the capital?”

Wei Tengfei shook his head: “This debt of gratitude, is not something I can fulfill.”

He paused for a moment, then asked Ling Chaofeng: “Why aren’t you sleeping, and how is your sister-in-law, is she alright? You should check on her as well. I heard that they’ve entered through a very narrow hole, so they didn’t have to go anywhere and just grind their teeth to hold it in. ”

“Yes, I will examine her.” Ling Chaofeng said, “I just want to ask General how we can proceed with the opening of the mountain. Although we were in danger today, did you discover that there was a natural cave, enough to set up the boiler and make weapons?”

Wei Tengfei said: “I’m afraid that this mountain is unstable. If there is another earthquake, wouldn’t that cause a huge disaster?”

Ling Chaofeng then said: “Go find some experts to investigate, if there is a disrespect, you will lead your troops to war, but to open up the mountain, we still need to invite some experts.”

“That’s right, we came too recklessly this time.” Wei Tengfei said, “I only want to, the fewer people who know the better. I want to consider this matter from a new perspective.”

“Miss Bi doesn’t look like a good place to move, we can find a place to rest and recuperate nearby, this will help her suffer a little less.” Ling Chaofeng said, “We will open a mountain in the mountains, while she and Xiaowan will remain in the village.

Wei Tengfei said: “When the sun rises, we can look at our surroundings and ask the commoners.”

Ling Chaofeng cupped his fists and retreated back into the tent, he saw that Xiaowan had sat up with her blanket wrapped around him, he recalled Wei Tengfei’s words and immediately asked: “Does it hurt somewhere?”

Xiaowan said: “I don’t feel pain, but since I woke up, I’m afraid to not see you.”

Ling Chaofeng said in annoyance: “You charged into the valley so bravely, yet you weren’t afraid even if you saw the injured person covered in blood. Now you’re afraid.”

Xiaowan snuck into his embrace: “Anyway, I’m just afraid.”

Ling Chaofeng lowered his head and kissed her, saying softly, “Evening, let me check if you are injured or not.”

Xiaowan reached out her hands to push his face away, smiling sweetly she said, “Scoundrel, what are you trying to do? “Why don’t you look around and see where this is, you’re so lost.”
