Chapter 499 The Saintess and the Empress
Wang Yushi didn't want to stay with Qin Mo in the army, but instead stayed far behind the marching column, ensuring her safety without attracting attention.
Wang Yushi traveled alone to the Western Regions day and night, without bringing any daily necessities. Qin Mo had no choice but to prepare several camels for her, loaded with food, clothing, and tents. He also told the rear guards that these were their own people and that she could follow them.
The army of nearly 20,000 people wound its way across the sandbar, with a few lone camels hanging at the tail of the army. Qin Mo would occasionally wander over to chat with Wang Yushi and bring her some delicious hot food.
The camel bells jingled as the gentle camels followed the road trodden by the army at a leisurely pace. Wang Yushi, head bowed, seemed lost in thought. As she walked, she suddenly sensed someone beside her.
"Clang!"
The heavy sword under the saddle was drawn instantly, and Wang Yushi darted off the camel and assumed a fighting stance.
Two or three zhang away from her, a woman in white robes was staring intently at her with a pair of deep eyes, while a little child on the woman's back peeked out from behind her neck, also staring intently at her with a pair of big eyes. Neither of them showed any hostility, only curiosity.
"Who...are you?"
Looking at the two people who had appeared silently beside her, Wang Yushi felt a strong sense of unease. After a long while, she asked in a calm tone.
"And who are you? Why are you following the army?"
"...I am a citizen of Great Xia, so naturally I will follow the Great Xia army!"
This woman in white robes was clearly not from the Great Xia Dynasty, and Wang Yushi watched her every move cautiously.
“I have some connection with the Great Xia army ahead, so naturally I followed the Great Xia army.”
Heatherine smiled. A few days ago, Qin Mo came to the camp to find her, saying that he was going to Lan City to fight against the orcs and Rakshasa. So she took the Holy Temple's Judgment Knights and followed behind the army, which was a day's journey away.
Later, Heather discovered Wang Yushi and realized that this woman's relationship with Qin Mo was unusual. She was not angry, nor did she intend to question Qin Mo. After all, she already knew about the marital status of the Prince of Daxia. Ten or eight was an understatement; some even married dozens of women for the sake of having offspring.
But Heatherine was, after all, a woman, and it was normal for her to feel a little jealous. In the end, she couldn't bear the urge any longer and decided to come up and see what Eastern women were really like.
Wang Yushi's skills were far superior to what Hazel had imagined. Hazel estimated that she was at the top level below the Saint level. Such a strong person would be a well-known figure anywhere, which made Hazel even more curious.
"Would you like to travel together?"
Heatherine didn't know why she suddenly had this idea; she and little Harry had gotten used to traveling alone these past few days.
“Fellow traveler… Okay!” Although Wang Yushi was wary of Heatherine, she still agreed without backing down.
Who's afraid of who!
Several camels joined Wang Yushi's small camel caravan. The two women walked side by side, one on each side, seemingly like close travel companions, but in fact, they didn't say a word to each other for a long time.
The two have many similarities: both have long legs and slim waists, cold eyes, both wear veils, are exceptionally skilled, and both have aloof personalities who don't like to talk to people.
The difference is that Heather has a little Harry on her back. The little guy has hardly seen anyone except his mother and Qin Mo since he was born. He is very curious about Wang Yushi now.
"Is this your child?"
"right!"
"Boy or girl?"
"boy!"
"...You're so lucky!"
Wang Yushi spoke sincerely; she could sense that Hazel's strength was at least no weaker than her own. She knew all too well how difficult it was for a powerhouse of that level to have offspring.
Many high-level experts also have offspring, but most of them had children when their cultivation level was relatively low. Little Harry, on the other hand, is clearly only about one year old, which is quite enviable. It is true that the higher one's cultivation level, the harder it is to have offspring, but at the same time, the higher the cultivation level, the better the child's cultivation talent.
Although Emperor Zhaowu had fathered two children, his own cultivation level was not high, and he had also damaged his body with medicine over the years. In addition, the two palace maids were mortals, so the children they would have were basically useless in cultivation.
It is already extremely rare for someone like Qin Mo to be able to have children with women of the Yellow Realm and Profound Realm. Otherwise, the imperial court would not have wanted to bring the children of Kaihime Lin Ruoxi to the palace. The cultivation talents of those two children are undoubtedly excellent.
As evening fell, the army ahead set up camp, and the two women stopped the camel caravan and began to boil water, cook, and feed the children.
Watching the well-fed little Harry playing affectionately with Heather, Wang Yushi was incredibly envious. Her innate maternal instincts surged, and a pang of sadness welled up inside her.
"Will I ever have children again in my life?" She had asked herself this question countless times, but each time she gave herself a hopeless answer.
"Who is the child's father?" Wang Yushi couldn't help but ask.
"Oh! He... is up ahead!"
"Up ahead?...In the army ahead?" Wang Yushi asked uncertainly.
"Um!"
Wang Yushi was shocked. This woman's man was actually in the army? Who had such power? Was it Allen? Or...?
Wang Yushi quickly realized who it was, because she saw that Heather's small tent and special sleeping bag were exactly the same as her own, and the trousers and shirt that Heather revealed after taking off her outer robe made Wang Yushi recognize the familiar style and stitching.
