Chapter 349 Shall we take a look at this prosperous age together?
“I think the title ‘Princess Frost’ sounds better than ‘Your Highness’.”
Xiao Mo.
What do you think?
The next morning, Qin Siyao woke up in bed and slowly opened her eyes.
As soon as she regained consciousness, the girl recalled what she had said to Xiao Mo the night before.
The more she recalled it, the redder her fair cheeks became, even spreading to her tender ears.
"How could I say such a thing?"
Qin Siyao rolled over and lay face down on the bed, her insteps stretched out beneath her nightgown, patting the bed repeatedly. The thin nightgown would occasionally lift a corner, revealing the fair skin of her shapely thighs.
Although the girl had already expressed her feelings to her sweetheart, she still felt that she had been too out of line and too unreserved last night.
But the girl remembered Xiao Mo's reply, "It does sound quite nice."
Qin Siyao couldn't help but smile happily again. A sweet spring of joy and shyness flowed through the girl's heart. Qin Siyao couldn't help but hug her pillow and roll around on the bed.
"Your Highness, Young Master Xiao has arrived."
Just as Qin Siyao was replaying Xiao Mo's words from last night in her mind, Peanut Sister's voice came from the room.
"Huh? Xiao Mo?" Qin Siyao was stunned for a moment, then said in a flustered manner, "I, I know, Sister Peanut told Xiao Mo to wait, I... I'll change my clothes."
"Yes, Your Highness," Peanut replied, then looked at Xiao Mo in front of him and said with a smile, "Young Master Xiao, would you like to sit down and have some tea and pastries? I'm afraid you'll be waiting for quite a while."
"Why?" Xiao Mo asked.
"As the saying goes, a woman dresses up for the man she loves. Every time Her Highness meets Young Master Xiao, I wonder how many outfits she tries on," Peanut explained.
"Peanut Sister, don't talk nonsense, I... I'll be done soon," the girl's voice came from the room again.
Peanut remained silent, only chuckled softly, and then poured Xiao Mo a cup of tea: "Please sit down, young master."
"Thank you for your help, Sister Peanut." Xiao Mo sat on the stone bench, took a sip of tea, and looked at the woman in front of him. "I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had a chance to thank you, Sister Peanut."
Xiao Mo stood up and bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your help in the battle at Yanmen Pass, Sister Peanut."
"You're too kind, young master." Peanut bowed in return. "I only spat out a few breaths of fire; it's hardly any help."
"Sister Peanut is too modest." Xiao Mo shook his head. "However, will Sister Peanut's entry into the battlefield have any impact on her?"
Xiao Mo hadn't expected that Peanut Sister would actually be a demon.
In this world, the relationship between the Demon Realm and the Realm of Myriad Laws is relatively good, with both sides communicating with each other. However, the Demon Realm and the Human Realm have signed a contract stipulating that neither the Human Realm nor the Demon Realm can interfere in the other's wars.
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Xiao. Please rest assured, not many people will care. Besides, I have already been expelled from the Vermilion Bird Clan, so no Vermilion Bird would care about an outsider like me," Peanut said frankly.
"..." Xiao Mo didn't know how to respond for a moment, nor did he feel comfortable asking Peanut Sister why she had been expelled from the Vermilion Bird Clan.
"Xiao Mo, I'm all better now."
Just as Xiao Mo and Peanut were about to stop talking, Qin Siyao opened the door and walked out happily.
"Your Highness is quite quick today, probably because you're afraid your sweetheart will be unhappy if she waits too long," Peanut said, turning to Qin Siyao with a teasing smile.
"Sister Peanut, you still dare to talk back?" Qin Siyao blushed and stepped forward, her big, bright eyes blinking. "Xiao Mo, ignore Sister Peanut. What do you want from me?"
"Nothing much, I just happen to be free today and wanted to ask Siyao if you want to go for a stroll in the city?" Xiao Mo asked.
"In the city? Of course! Let's go!" Qin Siyao's eyes lit up instantly, and she waved to Sister Peanut, "Sister Peanut, we're leaving! We won't be back for lunch!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Siyao grabbed Xiao Mo's sleeve and walked forward.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Peanut couldn't help but shake his head with a smile: "Really, Her Highness keeps saying she should be reserved, but this doesn't look like reserve at all."
Inside Yanmen Pass.
Xiao Mo and Qin Siyao walked down the street.
At this time, Yanmen Pass gradually returned to its pre-war appearance, most of the shops had reopened, and roadside vendors were also appearing sporadically.
Some brothels haven't opened yet, mainly because the girls have been too thin and weak lately, making it difficult for them to serve customers. They need to recover for a while.
Overall, Yanmen Pass is far from recovering its former prosperity, and everyone's face is gaunt.
Fortunately, Yanmen Pass had been connected to the northern wilderness, so Qin's trade would reach this town.
Similarly, in order to win over the hearts of the people at Yanmen Pass, the Qin state transported a considerable amount of supplies there.
In the future, Yanmen Pass should be developed into a major trading town, and things should get better and better for Yanmen Pass and the southern region.
But that's a matter for the future; for now, the city is still very desolate.
Looking at everything in the city, Qin Siyao couldn't help but grip Xiao Mo's clothes tightly.
"Xiao Mo, why must there be war in the world?" Qin Siyao raised her head and asked the man she trusted most beside her.
To this day, Qin Siyao still remembers the day she first arrived at Yanmen Pass, the horrific scene of tens of thousands of corpses on the battlefield, and the desolation of Yanmen Pass city.
“Different interests and ambitions between countries will naturally lead to conflict, and conflict will lead to war. The only difference is whether it is Wei attacking Qin or Qin attacking Wei,” Xiao Mo said slowly.
"Then how can we avoid war?" the pampered young girl, who had lived in the palace for a long time, asked again.
“Perhaps, when this world becomes a single nation, there will be no more wars,” Xiao Mo replied.
Qin Siyao raised her head and looked at Xiao Mo's profile: "Will the lives of ordinary people get better and better?"
"uncertain."
Xiao Mo shook his head and looked at the girl beside him.
"We still need a wise ruler, otherwise, with the current ruler of Wei, the people will suffer terribly, and so many men from Yanmen Pass will not join my Northern Wilderness Army."
"If the world is unified and there is a wise ruler, then this should be the golden age described in the books, right?" Qin Siyao sighed.
"That should be true." Xiao Mo smiled. "And I believe that this golden age is not too far away."
"Really?" The girl looked up with delight.
“Really.” Xiao Mo nodded. “I believe you, Siyao, will definitely be able to see this prosperous era.”
"Xiao Mo, if that day ever comes, will you be by my side?"
Xiao Mo: "."
"Xiao Mo, say something! Let's go and see this prosperous world together, shall we?" The girl pouted and shook Xiao Mo's sleeve.
Xiao Mo turned his head, gently patted the girl's head, and smiled tenderly:
"good."
