November is late autumn, with long nights and short days. He Yunxiao and his group would stop to cook, eat, and rest from dark, so they actually had a long sleep time. Even with He Yunxiao and Ma Dekuai taking turns keeping watch, it was enough for both of them to rest.
In fact, with the blessing of the Soul-Devouring Pill, He Yunxiao almost replaced sleep with meditation, and before he knew it, it was already dawn.
A sliver of white light appeared on the horizon, like waves crashing on the beach, splashing out a line of white spray.
There was a commotion in the carriage behind me. The curtain was lifted, and a beautiful woman stepped out.
The woman was pure and beautiful, not very tall, with extremely delicate features, like the most beautiful "little sister" character in everyone's dreams. Her small feet, clad in embroidered shoes, descended the wooden stairs of the carriage step by step. The cool morning breeze pressed down on her dress, making her extraordinary figure, hidden deep beneath the loose fabric, appear and disappear.
Ample bosom, slender waist, pert buttocks, long, shapely legs...
He Yunxiao looked at Chu Xiaoxiao.
neat?
Or is it Xiaoxiao?
It wasn't that He Yunxiao didn't understand Chu Chu and Xiao Xiao; it was just that this "Chu Xiao Xiao" was very well-balanced, possessing both Chu Chu's aloofness and Xiao Xiao's demeanor and subtle gestures.
Chu Xiaoxiao got out of the car, looked up, and met He Yunxiao's gaze.
From her bright and sparkling eyes, He Yunxiao already knew who she was.
Xiao Xiao.
It's Xiaoxiao, but it's not Xiaoxiao. She's acting very strangely.
If it were really Xiaoxiao, she would have run up and jumped into his arms, which is how she would behave. Instead, she's standing there properly, neither too close nor too far.
Soon, "Chu Xiaoxiao" provided the answer.
Chu Chu transmitted her inner force telepathically: "He Yunxiao, after some thought, I've realized that controlling 'Chu Xiaoxiao's' body is consuming too much of my mental energy. I can only sustain this for four hours, which is too short. Therefore, besides transferring my power, I'll let Xiaoxiao control the body. If you wish to speak to me, please use telepathy."
He Yunxiao asked in surprise: Chuchu, how long can you stay like this?
Chu Chu: If I don't pass on my skills, I can remain awake for eight hours.
Eight hours? Sixteen hours! That's almost a whole day, excluding sleep!
He Yunxiao: That's great! But what if it's considered a transfer of skills?
Chu Chu: Six hours.
Six hours, or twelve hours, is enough!
Xiao Xiao tentatively said: Chu Chu... I can take your place when the power is transferred...
Knowing the truth, He Yunxiao chuckled inwardly. The least-to-do act in transferring power is holding hands. If done properly, it can even involve hugging and sticking together. Xiaoxiao volunteered, which shows that "everyone knows Xiaoxiao's heart."
Chu Chu: No need. The transfer of power was something I promised He Yunxiao. I will do it myself.
Xiao Xiao's shoulders slumped: Oh...
Chu Chu frowned: Why do I get the feeling that you really want to pass on your skills to He Yunxiao?
Xiao Xiao waved her hands repeatedly: No, no, Xiao Xiao also wants Chu Chu to play with Xiao Xiao a little longer.
Chu Chu didn't say anything. She just felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
He Yunxiao set up an iron pot to boil water. Since there was hot water available, he naturally wouldn't let the female protagonists wash with cold water.
"Xiaoxiao, go and wake Rou'er up."
"good."
Xiao Xiao obediently ran over to call for help.
Chu Chu: Xiao Xiao, when did you start listening to He Yunxiao?
Xiao Xiao: No, it was me who wanted to wake up the bad woman. Being with He Yunxiao is less interesting than being with the bad woman.
Chu Chu: She is He Yunxiao's sister, not a bad woman.
Knowing the truth, Xiaoxiao readily agreed and dared not contradict Chuchu. One wonders what Chuchu's expression will be when she learns the truth, given her current protectiveness.
Xiao Xiao shivered. She didn't know what Chu Chu's expression was, but she and He Yunxiao were most likely doomed.
I came to the bedside.
"Hey, get up." Xiaoxiao nudged Meng Qingrou.
"Xing'er... Nanzhu wants to sleep a little longer..." The Princess, still half-asleep, turned over. (www.cascoo.net)
Chuchu frowned: South Pearl?
Xiao Xiao quickly covered for her, saying, "Ah, Zhang Lingrou is still half asleep!"
"Miss Zhang, please get up quickly, we need to pack up and get going." Xiao Xiao urged her again.
"Hmm... are you Xiaoxiao or Chuchu?" Meng Qingrou sat up, rubbed her eyes, and looked at Chu Xiaoxiao.
Chu Chu: She found out?
Xiao Xiao cursed inwardly. This wicked woman had dropped two bombshells in just two sentences! She was so malicious! She definitely had ill intentions!
Xiaoxiao: She found out about me after you fell asleep yesterday. He Yunxiao simply made me confess, and then she knew.
Xiao Xiao steeled her heart. Being constantly questioned by Chu Chu and the bad woman was not a solution, so she decided to strike decisively and use a provocation tactic: "Chu Chu, she knows our secret. Let's just kill her to silence her!"
After posing the question to Chuchu, Xiaoxiao felt much more relaxed.
Chu Chu: She is He Yunxiao's younger sister.
Xiao Xiao shamelessly said: So what if He Yunxiao's sister? She should still be killed! Chu Chu, you can't abandon our principles just because you like He Yunxiao.
Chu Chu: We'll talk about this later. I have my own plans.
Xiao Xiao smacked her lips; it tasted sour.
If you don't want to kill him, then you don't want to kill him. Why say "we'll talk about it later"? Chu Chu, just spoil him.
Ever since He Yunxiao helped Nanzhu's wife dress up, Nanzhu's wife has been learning to dress herself since returning to the palace. She has now made some progress and no longer gives He Yunxiao a chance to take advantage of her.
Xiao Xiao woke up Nan Zhu and then slipped out of the carriage under the pretext of getting some fresh air. She saw He Yunxiao making breakfast and then stood next to him under the legitimate reason of "learning cooking skills".
However, with Chu Chu watching, Xiao Xiao wouldn't dare to do it while she and He Yunxiao were being all lovey-dovey.
She wouldn't dare to do it openly, but with such a handsome man standing next to her, Xiao Xiao simply couldn't control herself.
In order to get close to He Yunxiao, Xiaoxiao must first test whether Chuchu has a connection with "Chu Xiaoxiao's" sense of touch. If there is no connection, then she can secretly do something naughty.
Xiao Xiao quietly brought her hand closer to the fire, intending to warm it and test Chu Chu's reaction. But before she could even place her hand near the fire, a large hand grasped her small one.
"Be careful. Sometimes sparks will fly from the dry wood. Stand back a bit, or you'll burn your hand," He Yunxiao warned.
Xiao Xiao was already overwhelmed by He Yunxiao's "love," and now, with He Yunxiao's subconscious "attention," "care," and "protection," that meticulous, silent affection was the most touching. Just like what He Yunxiao did to Mengbao and Ruobao, a huge "Cupid's arrow" pierced straight into the softest part of Xiao Xiao's heart, making her tremble and unable to control her emotions.
If it weren't for Chu Chu's presence, Xiao Xiao would have insisted on using her unparalleled martial arts skills to forcibly execute He Yunxiao on the spot.
Rather than let him be bullied by bad women, I, Xiaoxiao, would rather bully him instead.
It's only because He Yunxiao didn't know Xiaoxiao's thoughts that he didn't know. Otherwise, he would have definitely found an opportunity to let Xiaoxiao know that when she comes to his home turf, no matter how high her status is, she should still call him "Dad".
