Resplendent Apothecary ch 36 - The Duchess (2)

There were not houses within dozens of miles around here and there were beasts inside the mountain. It would certainly be dangerous to camp out in the wild. This courtyard provided a relatively safe place for travelers to rest.

It was beginning to get dark and they were still about several miles from the courtyard. Looking at Gu Ye, she must have blisters by now; every steps she took felt like she was dancing on a knife and the pain was excruciating. Limping like she was, she fell more and more behind from Mrs. Gu and the rest of them.

A distinct howl from a wolf came from the dark forest and Mrs. Gu shuddered. Gu Qiao turned around and frowned. He suppressed his anger and said impatiently, “Why are you so slow? If the wolves come, we will all be dead!”

Chirp. Chirp. Chirp.

“Oh give it up already. There’s no way I am letting you go!”

The human and the crane started a tug-of-war as usual. Mo Xuanzun had no choice but to turn and walked up to the kiosk.

He cupped his hand and greeted the girl with the welcoming smile and said, “Shi mei Gong, long time no see. How has my shi mei Gong been? I haven’t seen you visiting the Temple of Divine Plans for a while now.”

The mistress and her servant were in the garden. Miss Jun’er slouched on the stone table seemingly bored; as for Gong Zixuan, she just read her book quietly. After all, she has been living this lifestyle for over ten years now.

“Mistress, where do you think young master Mo has gone to? I thought he never liked to leave this place, so why did he leave this time? And why is he gone for so long? We couldn’t even find him when we wanted to?”

“That’s none of your business!” said Gong Zixuan nonchalantly without even looking up.

“Yes, Mistress. Lu Zhu promises she will take good care of Ms. Lan Lan!” replied Lu Zhu seriously.

“Hmm, Qing Zhu, you will be assigned to my second brother. You must also take good care of him and protect him. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Mistress, Qing Zhu will take good care of second young master!”

“You will be following them from this day on. I will let my family know in a little bit!”

“Yes, Mistress!”

When the ground was revealed, little Yuteng did not use a spade to loosen the ground up; she waved her little hands and brought about heavy rain above the field. And this rain was made up of 100% mystical water.

What’s even more unbelievable followed – as strong as the rain was, not a drop of the mystical water were lost. Every single drop went inside the dried, cracked ground.

The mystical rain continued for about half an hour. Under Cheng Xiao Xiao’s naked eyes, they yellow round seemed to be different than before; but she couldn’t tell exactly what was different about it.

The sunset dye the entire forest red and casted golden dots on the crooked mountain paths through the tree leaves. The rays from the sunset extended the shadows of the two adults and two kids on the road. One of them kept on nagging, “Hurry up! Stop stalling. If we don’t make it to the big house tonight, we will leave the two of you here for the wolves!”

These two adults and two children stumbling forward on the uneven road were Gu Qiao, Mrs. Gu, and the siblings Gu Ming and Gu Ye.

Early that morning, Mrs. Gu had gone insane and said tenderly to Gu Yu, “It’s starting to get cold and you had long grown out of that jacket of yours. We will take you to town today to get some fabric for a set of cotton clothes for you.”

At this very moment, she also intentionally let out some of her martial master qi. It made everyone present turned pale and their bodies trembled.

“You want income, you need to earn it with hard work. You can’t just get it for free, don’t you know? Us, the Cheng’s, can’t just let you walk all over us. We are generous, that doesn’t mean you can bully us;  we let you take advantage of us, that doesn’t mean we are idiots. One should know when to be contended; otherwise, it will only bring about troubles!”

When she got to here, Cheng Xiao Xiao slowly withheld all her qi and looked over at the old patriarch, “Grandpa Liu, what do you say?”

Recalling that the dimension had levelled up again, Cheng Xiao Xiao, who was used to having pleasant surprises, asked, “Okay, now that we are over level 50, we are over a small milestone, right? What other cool gadgets did we get?”

“Hehe, Young Mistress, you want your cool gadgets again now, don’t you?” Little Yuteng read her mind.

Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded unabashedly, “Of course, so are there any?”

“Yes, of course there is. Look, young mistress!”

“42.6 jin, we will call that 46 jin. That would be 860 wen!” Shopkeeper Qian knew better than to ask where did these game meats came from. He did the math using his abacus and have the result for her in no time.

“Thank you, Shopkeeper Qian! And please also help me keep my secret. We will be selling you more of my brother’s game meats to you in the future!” Naturally Gu Ye could read his surprise and gave some sort of an explanation. After all, most of these games came from the traps dug by Gu Ming, technically she wasn’t lying.

It was bigger. It looked to be 1/3 bigger than it used to be.

If the dimension was like a small town before, it is like a big town now. Other than the hundreds or so field that was immediately in front of her, even the grass fields farther away was much broader than it used to be.

“Hehe, Young Mistress, are you so happy that you are speechless? Giggled little Yuteng as she flew over and looked at Cheng Xiao Xiao who couldn’t stop looking around.

Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded lightly and, with a happy look on her face, asked, “How many levels did we go up?”

“Oh, dad, we have quite a few courtyards now and the area is quite expanse. We will need more manpower to help maintain this new place of ours. Can you send a letter to the officials of Qing’an Province and have them send some good help over? Preferably they have already been trained. We don’t have the time to hand hold each of the after their arrival!”

“Xiao Xiao, are you sure about that?” asked Cheng Biyuan, baffled. He didn’t expect her daughter to have asks from the officials.

“Sure! Sure!” smiled Cheng Xiao Xiao. She would not have said that in the past. But since the dimension has the ability to make others recognize her as their mistress, she was confident that even spies for others would be converted.
