It turned out that not long after they left, the Empress issued a decree opening the trade routes between Xiyou and Pingzhao.
Trade routes are now being established between the two countries.
Daidai said that once the trade route was completed, he would return to Danchi Town to guard the main camp.
Thinking that Songsong and Fanfan were already capable of handling things on their own, he led everyone to quickly expand the business empire.
After listening, the two understood what Daidai was thinking. After all, Danchi City was a border city and the first place to contact foreign merchants after trade was opened.
Given his temperament, he would definitely need to personally return to oversee things to feel at ease.
But why would he agree to let Xiushan Wangye go along for such a tiring task?
Could it be that the pills containing the Water of Life have lost their effectiveness? And Xiushan Wang still isn't pregnant?
Qin Luo and Wu Hua thought about it and then took the initiative to ask.
"Brother-in-law, didn't you and Sister Wang notice anything amiss?"
"Yes, Sister Wang, have you felt nauseous or anything?"
Upon hearing this, Ah Shui assumed they were worried about Xiushan Wang's health.
"We don't notice anything wrong. We usually live in the city and only come back on our days off. If we feel unwell, we'll see a doctor immediately. Don't worry."
"No, no, it's just that, has Sister Wang gained weight recently?"
"Gained weight? Probably not. She's always been tall and slender and has never gained weight. But I haven't seen her for several months. Maybe she really has gained weight because of the change in environment."
The two of them were shocked to hear this; they had absolutely no idea! They had been thinking that Daidai's thoughtfulness...
How could a pregnant woman be made to run around doing all this? It seems everyone was kept in the dark.
But the two of them haven't made up their minds yet, so it's not appropriate to just say it out loud like that.
If she's really pregnant but still out and about, Ah Shui will probably be furious.
If I'm not pregnant, telling anyone would just be a false alarm, so I might as well pretend I don't know.
Because they both believed that if Xiushan Wang really was pregnant, the observant Daidai would definitely notice.
And we will do our best to take good care of her and will make sure she is not overworked.
The three of them chatted like that, and before long it got dark.
After Qin Luo and Ah Shui carried their belongings inside, they went back to their rooms to rest, preparing to visit Wangu again early the next morning.
But just as the two were dozing off, they were startled awake by a tired voice filled with complaints.
"How can you sleep? Do you even have a heart? Get up and get to work! If I'm not happy, you won't have it easy either."
The two were startled by the roar and sat bolt upright, only to find everything in complete darkness.
Wu Hua was terrified and trembled as she hid in Qin Luo's arms.
"Luo Luo, I had a nightmare. It seemed like some vengeful spirit was trying to eat me..."
Qin Luo first wiped the sweat from her forehead, then gently patted him to comfort him.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a dream. We're in the human realm now, there are no vengeful spirits here, let go..."
Before they could finish saying "Don't worry," a face glowing in the night suddenly appeared before them.
"Really? Aren't you afraid?"
The two screamed again in fright, and the life force and strange energy flung wildly in all directions, as if trying to blow up the house.
Hearing the noise, Ah Shui rushed straight into their room without even putting on her coat.
But he was, after all, just a mortal, and before he even got close, he was blasted away by the aftershocks of their attack.
Fortunately, Heaven noticed and immediately rescued the person; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Alright, stop now, or someone will die."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, the two of them instantly felt less afraid.
He quickly raised his head and looked around, only to see that the house, which had been neat and tidy before, was now...
Now you can see the starry sky when you look up; three of the four walls have collapsed, and the last one is teetering on the brink of collapse.
From a distance, one could see Ah Shui lying unconscious on the ground.
Upon seeing this, the two men went blank and rushed over to pick the person up.
Qin Luo didn't even bother to examine him, and directly channeled his healing power into his body. Wu Hua was so anxious that she burst into tears.
"Brother-in-law, you absolutely can't get hurt! I still want to eat your fried dough sticks, waaaah..."
The Heavenly Dao, unable to bear it any longer, finally stepped forward and spoke.
"He's fine, he'll be alright after he wakes up."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo and Wu Hua looked towards the source of the sound and saw the Heavenly Dao slowly descending from mid-air.
With his ethereal and otherworldly appearance, no one could have imagined that the voice that had just been like that of a vengeful ghost was uttered by him.
Although the two harbored some resentment towards him, they remained outwardly very respectful.
They settled Ah Shui in first, and then came out to bow to him.
"The Heavenly Dao has descended; what are your instructions?"
The Heavenly Dao felt particularly uncomfortable due to the unfamiliar attitude of the two.
In comparison, he still preferred the previous two shameless people.
However, given his position of authority, he couldn't very well beg for reconciliation in a humble manner, so he could only adopt an aloof and superior attitude.
"Although Ming Yi has now entered the underworld to be judged, the troubles he left behind have not been completely resolved. As his relatives, you two should help him clean up the mess."
Qin Luo and Wu Hua exchanged a glance, thinking that this old man had come to grab laborers and was even putting on this show to scare them; he was truly disrespectful to his elders.
Why can't you just say what you mean? Not only did you get Ah Shui injured, but you also turned our perfectly good house into ruins.
Neither of them spoke, but their eyes conveyed everything they needed to say.
Heaven sighed helplessly, and with a wave of its hand, restored the collapsed house to its original state.
Seeing this, the two then spoke up.
"As a child, I should atone for my father's sins."
"Yes, I am not his child, but I am willing to help."
Seeing that the two agreed, Tiandao finally breathed a sigh of relief; who knew he'd been working himself to the bone lately?
