Engagement

When the nurse saw Xu Zhixun, she smiled and explained:

"Let me check his IV drip. I estimate it will take him about an hour to finish the infusion."

Xu Zhixun smiled slightly: "Okay, thank you."

The young nurse stared intently at Long Qian with her bright, large eyes:

"Hey bro, do you have a girlfriend?"

Long Qian pointed at Xu Zhixun with his chin: "She is my girlfriend."

Xu Zhixun was both amused and exasperated: "Hey, don't talk nonsense! I haven't agreed to be your girlfriend yet!"

Long Qian said with a half-smile, "Anyway, you'll agree sooner or later."

Xu Zhixun: "..."

The young nurse felt a little disappointed when she saw that Long Qian liked Xu Zhixun:

"Sigh, handsome guys are always someone else's boyfriend."

After saying that, the nurse left the ward.

Long Qian glanced at the nurse, then asked Xu Zhixun:

"Did you go to buy wound dressings? Did you manage to buy any?"

Xu Zhixun: "I bought it. I also bought a lot of medicine, which I have already given to Long Jun."

Long Qian laughed: "Thank you, you really are like a fairy, both kind and lovely."

Xu Zhixun said shyly:

"Actually, I'm not that kind. I just felt that the soldiers were very good to me. They even made me a swing during the drought, so I brought the medicine with me."

After saying that, she sat down on a chair by the hospital bed and continued chatting with Long Qian.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the nurse came into the ward again and removed the IV needle from Long Qian.

Then, the nurse gave Long Qian a cotton swab and told him to press it against the bleeding needle mark on the back of his hand.

Long Qian did as instructed and thanked the nurse.

The nurse handed Xu Zhixun a large bag of medicine:

"Miss, this is your friend's medicine. He needs to come back for an IV drip tomorrow afternoon."

He will need intravenous fluids for a total of seven days.

Xu Zhixun took the plastic bag: "Okay, I'll bring him over tomorrow."

After saying that, Xu Zhixun led Long Qian out of the clinic.

She sent Long Qian back to ancient times, then returned to the warehouse of the Time-Space Supermarket to wash up and go to sleep.

——————————————

For the next six days, Xu Zhixun took Long Qian to a modern clinic every day for IV drips and dressing changes.

In addition, Xu Zhixun delivers supplies such as compressed biscuits, instant noodles, large bottles of purified water, and puncture-proof and cut-resistant gloves to the Dragon Kingdom army every day through the Time-Space Supermarket.

Time passed day by day.

During this time, Xu Zhixun sold some gold ingots to Mr. Cai, the owner of an antique shop.

On the morning of July 20th, General Li led a large army carrying supplies to Cuizhu Village in the Xia Kingdom.

The soldiers were overjoyed, finally able to have a full meal.

That night, the soldiers put on bulletproof vests, carried pepper spray, and wore stab-proof and cut-proof gloves, and launched a night attack on Yangcheng.

The Xia army in Yangcheng heard that the Dragon Army had the assistance of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and possessed the wondrous and terrifying weapons and equipment of the Heavenly Court, so the Xia army developed a psychological fear of the Dragon Army.

This war lasted only three months before Yangcheng was captured.

After the city fell, Long Qian rode into Yangcheng and shot the enemy's Marshal Ouyang dead with an arrow!

Thus, the sixth prince, Long Qian, rose to fame in one battle, striking fear into the hearts of all.

In this battle, the Long army suffered a total of 20,000 casualties.

General Li led the remaining nine thousand soldiers into Yangcheng, burning, killing, and looting.

Meanwhile, Long Qian, Marshal Zhang, and General Zhao led the remaining thousand soldiers, intending to return to the capital to report back to the Emperor…

It was Sunday.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Long Qian entered the Time-Space Supermarket and told Xu Zhixun that Long Jun had captured Yangcheng.

Xu Zhixun was overjoyed and congratulated Long Qian with a smile:

"Long Qian, congratulations! You've finally overcome all your hardships!"

Long Qian chuckled softly, "It is thanks to your help that the Long Army was able to win."

At this point, Long Qian looked at Xu Zhixun and said softly:

"Zhi Xun, I'm going back to the capital of the Dragon Kingdom. Come with me to the Dragon Kingdom!"

Xu Zhixun was taken aback: "Wait a minute, let me think about it."

After saying that, Xu Zhixun used her mind to summon the Time-Space Supermarket System:

"System, can you change the coordinates of the Time-Space Supermarket in ancient times?"

"I want to go to Dragon Kingdom, but the Time-Space Supermarket is currently in Green Bamboo Village in Xia Kingdom."

System: [When the host was in ancient times, he could summon the Time-Space Supermarket at any time using his mind and change its coordinates.]

However, the host needs to pay a coordinate modification fee of 5 million yuan.

Xu Zhixun was shocked: "So expensive?"

System: [Host, you have already earned over 10 million through the Time-Space Supermarket!]

5 million yuan is not expensive for you.

Xu Zhixun: "Okay, I'm going to Dragon Country now. I want the Time-Space Supermarket to follow me all the time."

System: [No problem. The 5 million yuan cost for changing the coordinates of the Time-Space Supermarket will be deducted from the host's bank card.]

[Ding!]

[System notification: Payment successful!]

The host's China Construction Bank card balance is 5,198,478.00 yuan.

Xu Zhixun glanced at her bank balance and was overjoyed:

"Wow, I still have 5.19 million! Hahahaha!"

System: [Congratulations, host, on becoming a millionaire! Have a wonderful time in ancient times!]

Xu Zhixun felt secretly pleased: "Thank you."

After saying that, she said to Long Qian, "I've thought it over. I want to go to the Dragon Kingdom with you. Let's go!"

A pleased smile appeared on Long Qian's handsome face:

"Okay, but... could you take the Time-Traveling Supermarket with you as well?"

"Because I also want to buy all sorts of things from the Time-Traveling Supermarket."

Xu Zhixun smiled and said, "No problem, I'll bring the Time-Traveling Supermarket with me."

Next, Xu Zhixun and Long Qian walked out of the Time-Space Supermarket and got into a luxurious carriage.

The carriage was magnificent and looked just like a motorhome.

Inside the carriage, near the front, there was a huanghuali (rosewood) daybed.

Benches and tables were placed in the middle and at the rear of the carriage.

Xu Zhixun, Eunuch Yang, and others were all sitting on a bench.

Then, the carriage began its journey, heading from Cuizhu Village in Xia Kingdom towards Long Kingdom.

The carriage has windows on both sides.

The bright sunlight shone into the carriage through the window screen.

"Sixth Prince, I want to take a bath! I haven't bathed in so long!"

Zhang Fuyao sat on the left side of the daybed and acted coquettishly towards Long Qian.

She wore a bright orange-red auspicious gauze dress, dressed up in a flamboyant manner.

Three months ago, Zhang Fuyao was stabbed in the left cheek and right arm by an assassin from the Xia Kingdom.

However, thanks to the use of wound-healing dressings and various modern medications, Zhang Fuyao's wound has fully healed.

She was lucky; she only had a very shallow scar on her face, which could be covered up with makeup.

Therefore, Zhang Fuyao looked radiant, like a dazzling cloud.

Long Qian sat on the right side of the daybed.

There was a small square table between him and Zhang Fuyao.

The small square table was placed on the bed.

On the square table were a teapot, teacups, and a plate of grapes.

Now, Long Qian glanced at Zhang Fuyao and said calmly:

"We should be able to reach Yong'an City tomorrow."

"When the time comes, I will have the magistrate arrange accommodations for you and let you bathe and change your clothes."

"That's wonderful, thank you, Sixth Prince!" Zhang Fuyao beamed.

Xu Zhixun's lips twitched: "Um... haven't you guys taken a shower in a long time?"

Long Qian sighed: "Both Yangcheng in Xia Kingdom and the border of Long Kingdom have recently suffered from drought."

"The Dragon Army has no water to drink, let alone water to bathe in."

"Yes, I haven't bathed for more than three months, and I feel smelly."

As Yu Zan spoke with a worried expression, she sniffed her sleeve.

"Haven't showered in over three months?" Xu Zhixun was a bit of a germaphobe, so she was quite upset.

"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, please don't find us dirty. Although we don't bathe, we often wash ourselves with water!" Eunuch Yang hurriedly explained to Xu Zhixun.

Xu Zhixun sighed helplessly, "Sigh, you guys really need to take a proper shower."

After speaking, Xu Zhixun looked at Long Qian and suggested:

"Long Qian, there's a bathroom in the Time-Space Supermarket."

"You can take a shower in the bathroom tonight, which will save water in the Dragon Kingdom."

Long Qian chuckled lightly: "Thank you, then I'll go to the Time-Space Supermarket for a bath tonight."

"No, Sixth Prince, you can't take a bath in the Time-Space Supermarket!" Zhang Fuyao said angrily.

"In my opinion, Xu Zhixun just wants you to take off your clothes so she can take the opportunity to seduce you!"

Xu Zhixun laughed angrily: "I would never seduce Long Qian, don't talk nonsense!"

“Yes, Second Miss, don’t worry. The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is a fairy. How could a fairy seduce a mortal?” Eunuch Yang immediately smoothed things over.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fuyao felt a little relieved: "That's good!"

At this point, she sternly warned Xu Zhixun:

"Xu Zhixun, after I return to the capital, the Empress will arrange for me to be engaged to the Sixth Prince."

"Therefore, even if the Sixth Prince takes a bath in your supermarket, you must not seduce him, understand?"

Xu Zhixun seemed reluctant to acknowledge Zhang Fuyao: "I'll remember."

"Yu Zan, peel the grapes and give them to the Second Miss."

Long Qian gestured with his chin towards a plate of grapes on the table.

There was a large bunch of grapes on the plate.

The grapes were purple, round, and looked very fresh.

So Yu Zan replied with a smile, "Yes, Sixth Prince."

After saying that, Yu Zan peeled grapes for Zhang Fuyao.

Zhang Fuyao beamed: "Sixth Prince, let's eat grapes together!"

Long Qian smiled and said, "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, he instructed Eunuch Yang:

"Eunuch Yang, please peel the grapes for Miss Xu!"

Xu Zhixun thought that Eunuch Yang hadn't bathed for more than three months, so his hands must be very dirty.

So Xu Zhixun quickly said, "Ah, no need, I'll peel the grapes myself!"

Eunuch Yang guessed that Xu Zhixun disliked his dirty hands, so he immediately said:

"Miss Xu, there's water in the carriage. Let me pour it for you. Please wash your hands!"

After saying that, Eunuch Yang took out a bottle of Nongfu Spring water from the cardboard box on the ground.

Xu Zhixun frowned: "Using Nongfu Spring water to wash your hands? That's too extravagant!"

Long Qian explained, "Because the Xia Kingdom is suffering from drought, there is no water in the rivers and wells."
