Chapter 81 Hold Me Tight, Don't Let Go.
"Hmm? What did I do last night?" Qian Renxue blinked her innocent big eyes, tilting her head and looking at Jiang Nian with a puzzled expression.
Her sincere look made him wonder if she was talking in her sleep.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it."
Jiang Nian lowered his head and silently ate his breakfast, putting his mind at ease.
Then, he felt his toes being stepped on.
Qian Renxue turned her head away, pretending to be nonchalant.
Her bare feet, clad in white socks, stomped on and on, seemingly doing something.
Jiang Nian glanced at her, reluctant to look away.
Let her stomp on and on.
He'll go pick some mushrooms in the forest later.
Five minutes later.
Jiang Nian and his group came out of the inn, preparing to head to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Since the town wasn't too far from the edge of the region, they didn't take a carriage.
Ye Wanqing held Ye Lingling's little hand, following behind the two.
She was also curious about Qian Renxue's identity, as she had such a close relationship with His Highness the Holy Son.
The mother and daughter listened intently from behind, remaining silent the entire time.
"Xiaoxue, are you sure you told your grandfather?"
"Of...of course! Didn't I tell you a long time ago?"
"I see..."
"Yes, yes, so don't worry about me...Also, since I'm already here, I'll reluctantly stay by your side. If you encounter danger, I can protect you."
Seeing her so confident, Jiang Nian felt less worried.
Behind them, Ye Wanqing's heart skipped a beat, staring at Qian Renxue's back for a long time.
Miss Xiaoxue protecting His Highness the Holy Son?
Could it be that her cultivation is higher than Jiang Nian's?
Ye Wanqing gasped, slowly suppressing her curiosity.
They entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
Jiang Nian planned to find her a Plum Crystal Beast around 30,000 years old.
The Nine Heart Begonia was, after all, a healing-type martial soul, and healing-type soul beasts were extremely rare in the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
The Emerald Swan was actually the best, but finding a lone one was incredibly difficult.
And they also had to consider whether they could afford to provoke it.
Plum Crystal Beasts liked to eat a plant called Ice Crystal Grass, so finding the Ice Crystal Grass would basically solve the problem.
"Little White, it's up to you."
Raising a mouse for a thousand days, using it for one.
Finding rare flowers and herbs was best left to the professionals.
"Squeak!"
Little White landed on the ground and sniffed, then its body slowly grew larger.
"Come on, let's sit on it."
Jiang Nian pulled Qian Renxue's wrist and sat her on its back, with the Ye family mother and daughter following closely behind.
This was probably the first time they had ridden a mouse.
"Almost ten thousand years old..." Ye Wanqing stroked Little White's fur, feeling amazed.
This soul beast was too human-like.
Qian Renxue sat in front of Jiang Nian, glancing at him sideways.
Then she shifted her position slightly, rolled her eyes, and lay down behind him.
"Xiaoxue?"
"Hmm... I didn't sleep well last night, just borrowing this spot." The little golden retriever feigned a yawn, quietly nestled in his arms.
Her eyes were half-closed, seemingly genuinely sleepy.
Jiang Nian looked down at her, gently placing his hand on her head, his heart racing.
No matter what, in this life he was still just Xiao Chunan; how could he resist such temptation?
A casual breath filled him with the fragrance emanating from Qian Renxue.
"Hmm~" The little golden retriever smiled, nuzzling her head against his chest, finding a comfortable position and closing her eyes to feign sleep.
Hearing her pounding heartbeat, he couldn't help but feel happy.
I thought this guy didn't have it... Turns out, he can still jump.
"Xiao Jiang, give me your left hand." Qian Renxue grumbled, not asking for permission, but giving an order.
After saying that, she casually grabbed Jiang Nian's wrist and placed it next to her lower abdomen.
"Hold on tight, or I'll kick you down."
"Okay..."
After traveling for an hour.
Xiao Bai finally found a patch of ice crystal grass covering several acres, thanks to its unique talent. Although there were no soul beasts around, they could just wait for them to come to them.
"Get up, we're here." Jiang Nian poked Qian Renxue's delicate skin, the soft texture felt great.
"Hmm~ no."
The little golden retriever pouted, not only refusing to get up, but even wrapping its arms around his waist.
How could he stand it?
If he stayed like this, he was afraid he wouldn't have enough underwear to last a day.
Jiang Nian tickled Qian Renxue's armpits, and the girl quickly got up. Jiang Nian glared at her, then smoothed his hair with both hands.
"Don't scratch me next time."
"Okay."
Jiang Nian jumped off Xiao Bai's back, catching Qian Renxue in the process.
The hardworking mouse could finally shrink, then darted into his ever-present bag, peeking out its head.
"This place is actually quite beautiful." Qian Renxue looked around, her eyes sparkling with a strange light.
Of course, these beautiful views were only truly appreciated with Jiang Nian by her side.
Enjoying them alone was rather uninteresting.
"I'll set up the tent first; we'll be guarding this place for the next few days."
Jiang Nian crouched down, found a clean spot, and was about to retrieve the tent from his storage soul tool.
At this moment, Ye Wanqing stepped forward: "Your Highness, let me do this rough work."
Qian Renxue frowned slightly upon seeing this and quickly stepped forward: "Ahem... Madam Ye, let us do it."
"Take Lingling and check the surroundings. I was just thinking of learning this from Xiao Jiang."
Ye Wanqing smiled gently, understanding her thoughts.
It seems that His Highness's childhood sweetheart is quite jealous.
"Okay."
Ye Wanqing didn't disturb their sweet time and took Ye Lingling to check the surroundings. ...
"Xiao Jiang, what's this for?"
"It's useless."
"Xiao Jiang, I can't find the support!"
"It's in your hands."
"Xiao Jiang..."
In just a few minutes, Jiang Nian's patience was slowly exhausted. He took the things back from Qian Renxue and prepared to demonstrate.
Soon, after he had set up the tent, the little golden retriever nodded as if he understood, ready to try it out.
Although it was slow to set up, it was still done.
"Xiao Jiang, am I a genius? I learn everything in no time!"
"Yes, Xiao Xue is the best."
"That's right!"
Qian Renxue admired her masterpiece with delight, liking it more and more each time she looked at it. If she had secretly come out, she would have learned how to assemble the tent, and wouldn't have had to sleep on the cold stone slabs.
"Xiao Jiang, can you teach me how to handle the Soft Bone Rabbit's internal organs?"
"Although I can cook, handling corpses..."
Jiang Nian stared at her eyes in confusion, not understanding why the little golden retriever had become a little different in just a few days.
The little princess of the Spirit Hall doing this kind of work?
When he got back, Qian Daoliu would hit him with a bamboo stick...
