Chapter 125 Returning to the Prefectural City



He even began to suspect that his Yuxin was a fairy, able to foresee events, hear their thoughts, avert crises, and possess incredible medical and planting skills.

What else could she be but a fairy?

On the way back, Lin Yuxin asked Wang Yu and the others to go down and catch fish. They caught more than twenty fish in total. Apart from Lin Yuxin, each of them had two large, fat fish weighing more than ten kilograms hanging on their bodies.

Add to that the wild vegetables and fruits that Lin Yuxin and the others found, which filled large and small bags, and the scene was truly spectacular.

On the way back, we also brought the peaches we had picked earlier, so each of us had an extra big bag of peaches.

They looked just like bandits who had gone into the mountains to raid for loot! Every time Lin Yuxin looked back at them, she couldn't help but lower her head and laugh.

Even Li Xiaochen was wearing them.

Only Lin Yuxin could make a prince, along with so many guards and imperial bodyguards, behave like bandits passing through without any decorum.

The group returned the way they came, and the descent was quick and they were no longer tired.

Just as Lin Yuxin and her group were about to reach the foot of the mountain, a tiger's roar came from behind them.

"Awoo!"

Lin Yuxin paused, turned around, and saw a tiger following behind them, but it was carrying a wild boar in its mouth, which looked to be over two hundred pounds, and it seemed to have dragged it all the way here.

Lin Yuxin was taken aback, turned around and walked back, standing opposite the tiger, and cautiously asked:

"Brother Tiger? Are you giving this to me?"

"Bang!"

The tiger threw the dead wild boar directly to the ground, making a sound that sent shivers down Lin Yuxin's spine.

"Awoo!"

The tiger roared again, then nudged the wild boar on the ground with its head before turning and walking away cleanly.

"Hey! Brother Tiger, thanks! I'll come back sometime and get you some roasted meat from Brother Black Bear! Please tell him I'm off!"

Seeing the tiger abandon the wild boar and turn to leave, Lin Yuxin quickly called out to its retreating figure, asking it to pass on a message.

Since this tiger is also a spirit, it should be able to understand what she is saying.

"Awoo!"

The tiger nodded and then disappeared into the mountains.

Lin Yuxin looked at the wild boar on the ground, then turned to Li Xiaochen and said helplessly:

"Looks like we can't take it back!"

"It's alright, we can take it back!"

Li Xiaochen found it amusing to see Lin Yuxin's expression different from when she was dealing with the tiger. He walked over, wanting to reach out and pat her head, but then realized his hands were full, so he could only say softly and helplessly.

[If there weren't so many people around, she would have just taken all this stuff. She could have carried all of it back by herself. There's no other way now but to cripple them!]

Lin Yuxin listened to Li Xiaochen's words but didn't feel comforted. She only felt that having more people was troublesome and couldn't help but complain in her heart that she should have come alone.

When Li Xiaochen heard her say that one person could carry so much stuff, he was startled, fearing that she really did it, and quickly said to the person behind him:

"You two give what you're holding to the others and come over to carry this wild boar."

"yes!"

The men quickly separated a few people, who hung their belongings on the others and came over to start lifting the wild boar.

Four people were just right to lift the wild boar, which weighed over 200 pounds.

And so the group descended the mountain. Since they had horses, they hung their bags and packs on the horses' backs. Except for wild boars, which they couldn't put on the horses, they put everything else on them.

Because it was too heavy, and the horses might not be able to support it, the group couldn't ride horses and had to walk back.

Along the way, we met many ordinary people. Seeing their large and small bags full of things, we looked on with envy and admiration, but no one dared to step forward and snatch them.

Because Li Xiaochen and his group all carried these swords and had an extraordinary air about them, they looked like they were not to be trifled with. They were just ordinary people, so who would dare to provoke these capable warriors?

Lin Yuxin was the only one among them who rode a horse. This was mainly because Li Xiaochen wouldn't let her walk, so Lin Yuxin had no choice but to ride on horseback and be led back by Li Xiaochen.

The group rode horses for an hour to reach Fengshen Mountain, but it took them more than two hours to return.

It was already dark when they arrived at the city gate, but their belongings, attire, and clothing attracted the attention of the disaster victims at the city gate.

When they realized it was a princess, they all rushed forward to greet her warmly.

"Princess is back! Why are you so late today!"

"Is the princess tired? Would you like to rest in our greenhouse for a while before going into the city?"

"Where did the princess go today? How did she find so much food? And wild boar too? The princess is truly a goddess descended to earth! How could the princess find all this?"

"That's right, who is the princess? She's beautiful and kind-hearted, blessed by heaven, do you need to tell me?"

The people who gathered around her spoke to Lin Yuxin warmly, showering her with compliments that made her feel embarrassed.

She quickly put on a smile and said gently to everyone:

"We went to Fengshen Mountain today and were lucky enough to find some food. However, this wild boar was hunted by the Regent and everyone else together. Tomorrow, I'll have the government office cook it in the dishes so everyone can have a taste of meat, okay?"

"Alright! Thank you, Princess!"

The local people were overjoyed to hear that there would be meat to eat, as they hadn't had meat in a long time.

"Alright, it's getting late, you should all go and rest. I need to go back to the government office to tidy up these things."

Lin Yuxin felt a little happier seeing everyone's smiling faces, but she didn't have much time to chat with them right now, as she had a lot of things to do after returning to the government office.

"Oh! Yes, yes, the princess is a very busy person. We can't delay her important matters. Quickly, everyone make way! Make way for the princess!"
