"Do all pregnant women experience this?" Yun Chang asked, frowning.
Li Mai smiled, nodded, hummed in agreement, and then picked up a green peach to eat.
Seeing that her eating made his teeth ache, Yun Chang stood up and said, "Then you should rest well. I'll go and rest first."
Li Mai nodded. "Okay, tomorrow Zhou Quan will show Big Brother around the area. The scenery nearby is quite nice."
Yun Chang agreed and went out.
Seeing Li Mai yawn, he felt it was inappropriate to remain seated.
After Zhou Quan finished tidying up, he saw Yun Chang coming over and told him to rest first. Then he went to the kitchen to boil water.
Ah Jun happened to be in the courtyard. Seeing him boiling water for them, he quickly came in and said, "Young master, let me do it!"
Zhou Quan waved his hand, "No need, you just need to protect the prince. I also need to boil water for my wife every day."
Upon hearing this, Ah Jun decided not to argue with him any longer and flew out of the courtyard to check the surrounding rooftops.
Zhou Quan boiled water and poured a pot into Yun Chang's room to make tea. He told Yun Chang when he wanted to sleep and asked A Jun to fetch hot water from the big pot in the kitchen to wash up.
Yun Chang chuckled, "Me, a grown man, needing hot water to wash up? No need, you two can use it!"
Zhou Quan glanced at him and said, "Brother, if you want to recover to your original physical condition as soon as possible, you should pay more attention to taking care of your body."
Yun Chang asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong with my body?"
Zhou Quan nodded. "Since your recovery, has your older brother not been in a fight with anyone?"
Yun Chang nodded; he had simply practiced his swordsmanship on his own.
"After Xiaomai falls asleep tonight, I'll take Big Brother out for a match, and he'll know your problem then." Zhou Quan finished speaking, a slight smile playing on his lips, and left.
Yun Chang was stunned for a moment, then silently brewed and drank her tea, pondering her own questions.
Xiaomai never told him that he had any health problems, but he remembered that Xiaomai would give him a bowl of water every few days.
He remembered that water. When he was in the capital, Xiaomai had made him drink it for several days in a row. During those days, he could clearly feel that his body was getting stronger day by day.
Zhou Quan returned to the room and saw Li Mai leaning against the bed with her eyes closed, sleeping. He felt a little sorry for her and went over to hug her.
Li Mai opened her eyes, glanced at him, then closed them again, snuggled closer to his chest, and sighed, "This feeling is really awful. Why am I always so sleepy?"
"How about we try sleeping in the space tonight?" Zhou Quan asked.
Li Mai shook her head, "No need for now, I'll try drinking a bowl of spiritual spring water every day from now on!"
"Hmm!" How about trying a bath in the spiritual spring water again?
Li Mai shook her head, "I'm afraid the child is too young and can't withstand such powerful spiritual energy."
After finding out she was pregnant, she suddenly became afraid of many things, including the possibility of harming the baby.
The saying that children can make mothers timid seems to make a lot of sense.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Quan dared not try anymore. This was a little life, and if it really couldn't withstand such great spiritual power and the child was lost, the couple would be heartbroken. This was their first child together.
"Then I'll get you some water, and we can wash up and rest, shall we?" Zhou Quan asked Li Mai.
Li Mai nodded. "Yes, I want to soak my feet."
"Okay!" Zhou Quan went to fetch water for her to wash up.
Li Mai lay down and quickly fell asleep.
Zhou Quan waited until Hai Shi (9-11 PM) to see that Li Mai was fast asleep. After getting dressed, he went out of the house, waved his hand to cast a protective spiritual force on the door, and then went over and knocked on the window of the room next door.
Soon, Yun Chang and A Jun came out together.
"Ah Jun, you guard the courtyard well," Yun Chang said, and went out the gate with Zhou Quan.
Ah Jun responded and flew up to the roof to lie down.
Zhou Quan led Yun Chang toward the old village.
He took Yun Chang directly to his family's dye shop. The courtyard there was large and uninhabited, perfect for the two of them to fight. He also took him to see the dye shop.
"Where is this?" Yun Chang asked as she entered through the gate.
“This is our old village. This location used to be where my family lived. We bought the surrounding land and built a dyeing workshop here. Xiaomai plans to open a dyeing workshop here.”
"Let me show you around!" Zhou Quan said with a smile, explaining as they walked, what this place was for and what that place was for.
As Yun Chang walked and looked around, after a long while, she sighed and said, "I'm actually quite envious of you!"
Zhou Quan glanced at him and said, "You just haven't found your place yet. Before I met Xiaomai, I was similar to you. Although I had family by my side, I never felt where my heart belonged."
"But after marrying Xiaomai, with her in charge of the household and making arrangements, I suddenly knew what I should do and how to proceed in the future."
After Zhou Quan finished speaking, he glanced at him.
Yun Chang was silent for a while, then hummed in agreement.
The two arrived at a large venue, and Zhou Quan said, "Let's fight here. You'll find out what's wrong with your body."
Yun Chang thought for a moment and then hummed in agreement.
The next moment, the two attacked at the same time. Zhou Quan had never learned kung fu, and all he knew was the sword technique that Li Mai had taught him. He didn't have a sword in his hand, so he turned his palm into a sword and fought against Zhao Shi and Yun Chang.
However, Yun Chang had studied martial arts for over ten years and was very skilled in both palm and fist techniques, possessing her own set of routines.
When the two first faced off, Yun Chang immediately gained the upper hand, and he could also sense that Zhou Quan did not know kung fu.
Strangely, he was very fast and always managed to dodge my attacks. No matter how powerful or good my attacks were, I couldn't get close to him.
The two of them started fighting back and forth like that.
As the game progressed, the two of them became faster and faster. Zhou Quan was very clever. After observing Yun Chang's several sets of fist and palm techniques, he learned them and used them against Yun Chang.
Yun Chang's lips twitched. He was just learning and applying what he had just learned, and the other person's learning was actually correct.
Soon, Yun Chang's internal energy couldn't keep up, and his legs began to tremble, clearly indicating a lack of stamina.
At this point, the two of them had only been fighting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
In the past, there were many times when he could fight for two days straight without falling on the battlefield.
Yun Chang realized where his problem lay: his internal energy was insufficient, which meant that his previous injury had been too deep and he had not yet recovered.
He didn't realize it normally; he only noticed it when he encountered a strong opponent.
"Should we continue?" Zhou Quan asked him.
"Hit me until I can't move anymore," Yun Chang said through gritted teeth.
He was known for his martial prowess, but now he's turned out like this. If Zhou Quan hadn't pointed it out to him, he wouldn't have known at all.
If they go to the battlefield like this next year, they will not only lose their own lives, but also the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who believed in them.
