Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune

Chapter 507: Chapter 507, Returning to Fengping (11 Updates)

Li Hengyi sat on the kang bed, zoning out for quite a while before he stood up.

As he moved, Yuanbao heard the noise and quickly asked, “Master, do you need to use the toilet?”

“Mhm, fetch some hot water!”

“?”

Yuanbao was initially bewildered.

But as a man who mingles among men, he naturally understood what Li Hengyi suddenly needed the water for.

Not daring to delay, he quickly fetched the hot water and placed it in the bathhouse. Only then did Li Hengyi rise and head to the bathhouse to change his undergarments and clean up.

Yuanbao asked in a low voice, “Master, is it possible that you’re secretly… secretly thinking of Miss Xie?”

“Get lost!” Li Hengyi roared furiously.

Yuanbao immediately burrowed into his bedding, holding his breath and not daring to make a sound.

Li Hengyi let out a sigh, got dressed and left the room, standing under the eaves and looking up at the night sky.

I wonder if she’s asleep at this moment? Wondering if she has thought of him, if like him, she dreams of them intimately mingling, mandarin ducks frolicking in the water…, wondering if she harbors any sensuous thoughts about his body, wondering if…

“Yuanbao!” Li Hengyi called out softly.

“Yes?” Yuanbao immediately responded but still stayed curled up in his bedding.

“Pack up; we’re going back to Fengping County the day after tomorrow!”

He had been away for several months now. By the time he returned to Fengping County, it might just be like last year, around the time they first met. I wonder if she will remember their first encounter at Yuanji… Well, not exactly at Yuanji, since he had waited secretly and impatiently for quite a while and she showed no interest at all, not the slightest curiosity about him.

The first time they met, he thought his appearance would dazzle her, that she would rush towards him, but instead, she didn’t even take it seriously.

“Heartless little white-eyed wolf!” Li Hengyi hummed lowly, yet recalling Xie Zhinuan’s kindness towards him, his heart couldn’t help feeling sweet.

“…”

Yuanbao sat up.

Surprised? Not at all.

The brave Great General had now advanced even further in his martial arts, and his physical condition was even more robust. Xie Zhinuan had also developed quite a number of Detoxification Pills and golden sore medicine, ensuring that almost every Great General could get a bottle of Detoxification Pills and two bottles of golden sore medicine, and even the common soldiers could get a bottle of golden sore medicine and two Detoxification Pills.

Although the medicine pill formula provided by Xie Zhinuan could not be replicated perfectly, and they had to use younger herbs as substitutes, the effectiveness of the medicine still amazed everyone.

Rong’s forces suffered heavy losses at Ice Valley last time and now did not dare to invade rashly.

“Alrighty!”

Yuanbao immediately got up to pack.

Li Hengyi stood under the eaves, staring at the night sky.

He quietly thought about returning; would Xie Zhinuan be surprised to see him…

She probably would be, right!

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he was to return, wishing he could be in front of Xie Zhinuan at that very moment, watching her cry and laugh as she threw herself into his embrace.

“Hehe!”

With that thought, Li Hengyi chuckled out loud.

He was filled with a sense of happiness, no longer as unapproachable as before, now radiating a lively spirit.

“…”

Yuanbao was stunned.

He felt that his master was being too optimistic too soon; it was clear that Miss Xie hadn’t quite figured out love, yet he dared not voice this to dampen his spirits.

He was well aware that if he dared to speak out, his master would break his legs and tear his mouth.

In these times, the truth was not something everyone dared to speak.

Since they were to return, Li Hengyi began to gather several of the generals in the military camp the next day, explaining his intentions to leave.

The other generals didn’t have much of a reaction, but Jiang Hongyan lifted her gaze and coldly, deeply looked at Li Hengyi.

Seeing this, the brave Great General quickly pulled his own daughter aside, warning her to retract her piercing gaze.

He was also troubled.

Usually, when women see the Prince of Victory, they should be clingy and infatuated; but his daughter, she looked at him as if he were her enemy.
