"Husband, where are you going?" Mu Run waved and called out.
Shi Xuan reined in his horse and stopped. "Are you...are you alright?"
"Of course I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright." Mu Run got off the oxcart and gave the driver a silver ingot worth about three taels.
The driver had never seen such a large sum of money in his life, and hurriedly said, "No need, no need to give me money, it's just a quick trip."
"Take it." Mu Run placed the silver on the oxcart. "I'll buy some good food for my grandchildren when I get back."
"Oh, thank you so much, young lady. You're such a kind person!" the driver said gratefully.
"I don't deserve it." Mu Run waved his hand, letting him go first.
"Thank you, young lady." The driver drove the oxcart away.
Shi Xuan led his horse up to her. "Where have you been?"
Mu Run replied, "I went to the temple to pray. Where did you go, my husband?"
“I went to an inn,” Shi Xuan replied.
"Let's go together. I need to tell you something on the way."
"Yes, you ride a horse, and I'll walk. We'll arrive in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."
"All right."
Mu Run did not refuse, and mounted her horse. Shi Xuan led the horse as if he were her servant.
...
"You're going to the Zhen Continent?" Shi Xuan looked at her in shock.
Mu Run nodded. "So, our fake marriage agreement can end here."
After avenging Su Xiao, she will go to the bottom of the South China Sea to find Feng Que's body.
"By the way, tell me how to get to the Zhen Continent, the kind of smuggling. Do I need to find someone? How much silver will it cost?"
Shi Xuan lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while before saying, "Can you wait for me for another month? I'll go to Zhen Continent with you then."
"You're going too? Why?" Mu Run asked.
"I... am in business," Shi Xuan replied somewhat embarrassedly. "I just like making money, so I want to go there to see what business opportunities there are. Besides, the cultivators from the sects of Zhen Continent will arrive in a month, and they will activate the teleportation array. I also have some spirit stones, so we can use them to ride the teleportation array and won't have to sneak across."
"You have spirit stones?" Mu Run was surprised. He wasn't a cultivator, so what would he need spirit stones for?
Seemingly sensing her question, Shi Xuan replied, "Some cultivators also want to buy worldly items. Since they don't have silver, they use spirit stones."
"Okay, then you name your price and I'll give you the silver."
"No, no. But what about our marriage agreement?"
"Let's leave it at that for now. Come with me to my house later and tell my parents and older brother that we're going to the Zhen Continent and might not be here for a while."
"Since we're going to my in-laws' house, let's go to the market now and buy them some things."
Aren't you going to the inn?
"We can go another day, it's not a big deal."
"Okay, then get on your horse, it'll be faster that way."
"No need, there's no rush, I'll hold your hand."
The two turned back and soon entered the capital.
"I've never really had a proper look at the capital before." Mu Run swayed and looked around, then stopped his horse when he saw a vendor selling sweet rice cakes by the roadside.
"I want to try that," Mu Run said, pointing to the glutinous rice cake.
Shi Xuan immediately replied, "I'll go buy it for you."
Soon Shi Xuan returned with two servings of sweet rice cakes.
Fresh, emerald-green lotus leaves wrap around soft, tender glutinous rice cakes drizzled with osmanthus syrup, making them look incredibly appetizing.
One bite, and it's soft, sweet, and satisfying...
"It's delicious, you should try some too."
"No, I don't like this. If it's not enough, I'll go buy you more."
