Chapter 464 Jiji Extra (7)
"Then how long will it take for you to come back?" Xun Pei'er looked at him hesitantly.
"At least one or two years, maybe five or six years at most," Gigi said. "I'm not sure of the exact location of that starry sky yet, so I'm not sure when we'll find it."
"One or two years, five or six years?!" Xun Pei'er was obviously panicked. She thought it would only be a few months at most.
"Then, what about your Imperial Observatory? A group of dragons without a leader?"
Jiji said, "I have asked the Emperor for leave, and he is very supportive of me. The Imperial Observatory will be temporarily led by someone else."
I feel a bit apologetic when I say this. Even though they haven't become a real couple yet, it was really cruel to leave her alone in the capital for five or six years.
"Can you take me there?" Xun Pei'er asked.
"What?" Gigi thought she had misheard.
"Can you take me with you..." Her voice was obviously much softer the second time.
Gigi smiled helplessly: "The journey is long and bumpy, how can your body bear it? If I take you out, your father and grandfather will tear me into pieces to vent their anger."
Not only does Xun Pei'er have no cultivation, but her physical fitness also seems to be average, making her unsuitable for long-distance journeys.
"But, but I have never left the capital!" Xun Pei'er's big eyes were instantly filled with tears.
Gigi panicked instantly: "Don't cry, don't cry!"
Although this was not the first time that Xun Pei'er had been made to cry, this was the first time that she had started crying in front of him, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.
"Please take me there, my husband. I grew up in the capital and have never even been to a temple outside the city." Xun Pei'er wiped her tears away, and they fell again, wiped them away, and fell again, as if they could never stop.
Jiji now understood that the Xun family was very protective of Pei'er, but it was also this protection that made Pei'er overly naive and particularly yearning for the outside world.
Maybe that's why she likes looking at the stars.
"Besides, if you don't come back for five or six years, I will have to stay in the house alone, and I will be scared!" Xun Pei'er shook his arm.
This is Gigi’s biggest headache.
If he really wanted to take her away... with his current sixth-level cultivation, it shouldn't be a big problem, at most he would just have to walk slower.
But in the end, she was the one who suffered.
What if he gets angry on the way and says he wants to come back?
But he quickly overturned his idea, because Pearl was not such a delicate girl.
During this year or so, they watched the stars on summer nights and in winter snows. No matter if they were jumping up and down due to mosquito bites or their noses were red from the cold, Pearl insisted on staying by his side and never mentioned taking a break.
Even when he asked her to take a rest, she refused.
"Husband...husband, please." Xun Pei'er saw Jiji's gloomy face and thought he was angry, but she still made a final "resistance".
Jiji lowered his eyes to look at Xun Pei'er and found that she was looking up at him with her little face, her eyes were red, she kept sniffing, and the two buns behind her head were shaking, which was very cute.
"Okay." His mind was in a trance and he uttered a word.
"No, I mean--" Before he could finish his words, Xun Pei'er covered his mouth.
"No, don't say that, you've already agreed!" Xun Pei'er was afraid that he would go back on his word, so she grabbed his hand, bent his little finger, and hooked it with her own.
"Make a pinky promise, you promised to take me there, you must do it!" She said seriously.
If Gigi refused at this time, he would be unmanly.
He couldn't help laughing: "Okay, you come with me, get ready first, it's hard to be away from home, don't cry and ask to go home when the time comes."
"No!" Xun Pei'er quickly assured.
She was afraid that Gigi was trying to trick him, so she asked again, "When are we leaving?"
"Let's pack our luggage the day after tomorrow morning," Gigi said. "Remember to only bring clothes for this season. We can buy the rest outside, otherwise the luggage will be too heavy."
"Yes, Lord Shen!" Xun Pei'er saluted like other ministers, then jumped up and gave Jiji a warm hug.
Gigi had never been hugged so directly by a girl before. He was completely shocked. The girl's sweet fragrance filled his mouth and nose, and he was so scared that he took two steps back.
Fortunately, Pei'er didn't notice his abnormality and went to pack her bags happily.
Gigi looked at her back and a thought popped into her mind: it seemed that it would feel nice to hug her, right?
…
Early in the morning of the third day, Gigi had packed her luggage and was waiting at the door, ready to check Xun Pei'er's package.
He thought that a spoiled girl like Pearl would definitely bring a lot of unnecessary things, and they all had to be cleared out.
Just as he was thinking about it, a servant came skipping towards him.
Jiji was just about to tell the servant not to be rude in the mansion, but when he looked again, it turned out to be Xun Peier wearing the servant's clothes!
"What are you doing?" He was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
"I'm dressing up as your follower!" Xun Pei'er was finally able to go on a long trip, and she smiled happily, "My usual skirts often step on my feet, making it inconvenient to walk, but this one is different, I can run and jump without any problem."
"Well, that's fine." Gigi agreed with her, but she really hadn't thought of this before.
He himself was dressed elegantly and looked handsome, and the two of them standing together really looked like a young master and his follower.
But the follower could tell it was a girl after just two glances.
"Can I take a look at your bag?" Gigi asked her politely, "to see if there's anything missing."
It is said to be missing, but in fact it is just taking out unnecessary things.
"Oh, no problem." Xun Peier took off the bag and handed it to Gigi.
When Jiji took it, he was dumbfounded again. It was smaller than his own bag.
When he opened it, he found two sets of clothes, a kettle, and a few small daily necessities, but no cosmetics or jewelry as he had imagined.
All the clothes are men's.
"I thought it wasn't hot this season and I didn't need to change clothes every day, so I only brought two sets. It wouldn't take up much space, and then..." Xun Pei'er explained ramblingly.
Jiji suddenly interrupted her: "Did you fold the clothes, or did the maid help you fold them?"
"I myself." Xun Pei'er looked confused, not knowing why Gigi asked that.
Because the clothes were folded very well, first folded and then rolled, they only took up very little space, unlike Gigi's, where a coat took up half of the space in the bag.
No wonder the baggage is so small.
"You are a lady from a wealthy family, but your family still asks you to fold your own clothes?" Gigi found it more and more strange the more she thought about it.
"Hey, why are you saying this?" Xun Pei'er touched the back of her head guiltily. "I used to want to sneak out to play and learn how to fold clothes, but I was caught every time."
Gigi: “…”
