“Well,
that….” Mrs. Cheng was dumbfounded, seemingly shocked by her daughter’s words.
Cheng Xiao
Xiao smiled and said, “Mom, on the surface of earth. Others will be lucky if I
don’t go bully them, who’d be able to bully me? Our mystical beasts will bite
them all to death!”
“Xiao Xiao,
for sure you are going to take your trip?” Hearing her words, Mrs. Cheng
understood that her precious daughter was not going to change her mind!
Cheng Xiao
Xiao looked at her mother and nodded.
“Aye, I
understand that you are all grown up, Xiao Xiao, and have your own mind. But,
Xiao Xiao, at least don’t go alone. Take your brother Zheng Yuan or your shi xiong Tianshan or Danhuang with you
at least!”
Afterall,
Mrs. Cheng is still worried about her daughter. She would like her to at least
have a companion.
Cheng Xiao
Xiao merely shook her head, “Mom, I have Yuteng with me. I don’t need anyone
else. They will only hinder me!”
“Yuteng, oh,
I remember her. That little dool!” nodded Mrs. Cheng. She had saw Yuteng
previously when she was healing Cheng Biyuan. And she was also well aware of
the fact that even though the little doll was tiny, but she was also very
powerful.
The fact
that Cheng Xiao Xiao would be accompanied by little Yuteng seemed to have
comforted Mrs. Cheng. She said to her daughter, “Okay, if you must go, but at
least wait and leave tomorrow. I want to pack some stuff for you, you hear me?”
“Okay, okay,
I will listen to you, mom. I will leave first thing tomorrow morning,” replied
Cheng Xiao Xiao quickly.
The first
beam of light rose from the horizon and the crowing of the roosters and barking
of the dogs could be heard coming from the ranch side.
Cheng Xiao
Xiao got up slowly and enjoyed this rare quite and peaceful moment.
She got
dressed and washed up. Looking at the beam of white light from afar, it looked
like the beginning of hope in one’s life. All of a sudden, she was in an
incredibly good mood.
Thinking
about all the elders and younglings at home, she sighed. She felt that she need
to go find more hands to help out around. As for the not so qualifying ones,
she’d send them away when she returned.1
Life was
different now. It wasn’t easy to find good help. She worked so hard in the hope
to provide better quality of life for her family.
Thinking
about that, she smiled. Heading toward the ray of morning sunlight, she headed
outside of the village. She had already bid her farewell with her family last
night, so she wanted to leave before it got too late.
Taking in
the fresh air and absorbing the beautiful village scenery, naturally she must
go on foot to get the most out of it.
She hadn’t have
breakfast yet and the members of her family have yet to wake up, so Cheng Xiao
Xiao left with an empty stomach and walked towards the marketplace.2
Afterall,
she has some capital now. She could afford to treat herself once in a while and
get some snacks from the marketplace.
Of course,
Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t going to the town of Daling. Afterall, too many people
know her there and she didn’t want any hassle. She decided to visit a different
marketplace. It was a little further away, but that distance was nothing to
her!
Approximately
an hour later!
Cheng Xiao
Xiao arrived at small town that was 50 kilometers away. If it was any
commoners, it would have taken them most of the day.3
Cheng Xiao
Xiao, in her plain clothes, followed the stream of people and entered into the
marketplace. Quickly, she was already seated at a breakfast location and
ordered a bowl of tofu pudding and two fried buns and enjoying them greatly.

But in this case I think it was a savory breakfast dish. Yuck!)

“Miss, how
do you like this tofu pudding?” The older woman selling the tofu pudding saw
the satisfying look on Cheng Xiao Xiao and couldn’t help but chatted with her.
She was very happy that her own cooking was being appreciated.
“Da niang, they are delicious,” said
Cheng Xiao Xiao with a thumb up and a smile.

translator notes:
1. Correct
me if I am wrong… there were only the 6 of them…. And none of them were handicapped…
why do they need so much help? :S GAH!
2. Ugh, if I
remember correctly, the market was some 4 hours away? =.= Maybe she was going
to the Liu’s village? :S I didn’t think they have a marketplace…
3. Does that
mean she is able to walk really fast? Because of her cultivation level? Or did
she cheat and ride on a mystical beast for part of the distance? J

ReplyDeleteNothing make sense in this novel,it revolve on its own world, the author Sama way of thinking is not something we could understand meaning just read n believe in the novel logic is enough lol.. I enjoy reading it anyway 😅
Examine the courtyard system. Each Courtyard requires gardeners, cleaning staff, repair staff, supervisors for all of the above, records keeping (All done by trained scribes) not to mention all the food service and martial arts training and support staff! some of it can and should be done by the students, yes... but there are also private training areas, open and restricted librarys, too
ReplyDeleteOoooooh. Question asked. Question answered. Thanks! 😄
