Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 271: Chapter 271 Lightning!

Seeing Song Qiyun nearly insane, Song Qingshan was also secretly worried.

They had brought three thousand men this time; could Qi Yue withstand them?

Ever since his horse got spooked at the city gate and he saw Qi Yue for the first time, he felt as if something was different.

Later, when he heard that Qi Yue might become his marriage partner, he was quite elated for a while.

But he hadn’t expected things to turn around so quickly; he hadn’t even enjoyed two days of happiness before his excitement turned into froth.

And once he thought of Qi Yue being in love with someone else, and that person was the world-renowned Zhao Xiyan, Song Qingshan instantaneously gave up on the idea.

...

Now, he just wanted Donggao to be peaceful and to avoid war!

His attempts at persuasion fruitless, Song Qingshan had no choice but to follow suit and set out, traveling through the night.

Meanwhile, Qi Yue left Yonghe Prefecture and headed southeast. After a day’s journey, she too was quite exhausted.

Seeing the sun about to set, Qi Yue decided to rest for a while before continuing.

She fed her horse a few Carefree Pills and let it graze. Seeing the desolation with no signs of people around, Qi Yue decisively climbed a large tree and, shielded by the leaves, entered her space.

This was mainly to make it easier to come back out later.

Although it was a wilderness, one could never be too sure about the absence of people, so having the tree for cover was much better.

The three White Rhinos inside the space started bellowing their complaints as soon as they saw her.

“Moo… Moo moo…”

Only then did she remember that she hadn’t boiled corn for the White Rhinos for several days.

She picked up Little Bai Yun, which was wrapping itself around her legs, and kissed its cute nose with a bit of remorse.

“Ah, my bad, I forgot about you! I’ve been too busy.”

“Moo… Moo moo…”

Little Bai Yun continued to bellow, staring with its big, bell-like eyes, as if to say, if she didn’t cook it corn today, it would revolt.

Qi Yue felt helpless.

“I don’t have time today; I have to leave in a bit. How about you eat some uncooked for now?”

Saying this, she quickly went to the kitchen to fetch a fresh ear of sweet corn and pushed it under Little Bai Yun’s nose.

“Here, eat up quickly, it’s more nutritious raw, juicy and tender!”

“Moo… Moo moo…”

Little Bai Yun resisted and backed away, turning its head to the side.

Looking over, she saw Xiaobai displaying the same attitude.

As for Xiaorou, who arrived last, Qi Yue couldn’t be bothered with him.

That fellow hasn’t contributed anything since its arrival.

It ate a lot every day, made a ruckus, and had already grown twice as big as before, not much shorter than Xiaobai.

“Moo… Moo moo…”

Watching the three White Rhinos bellow non-stop, Qi Yue completely surrendered.

“I really owe you guys!”

She deftly started cooking a large pot of corn and began preparing meals to eat.

The journey had been hard, and she wanted to make something delicious to treat herself.

Soon, four dishes and a soup were ready, and a pot of corn was cooked.

Qi Yue picked up two basins of corn and carried them out, and the three White Rhinos immediately started joyfully bellowing.

Amused by the sight, she took her meal to eat by the stream while watching the White Rhinos eat.

The meal was soon finished, and the White Rhinos had finished their corn as well.

But today, the White Rhinos seemed exceptionally greedy, circling the empty basins incessantly and “mooing” non-stop.

“What, still not satisfied? Haven’t eaten your fill?”

“Moo… Moo moo…”

Qi Yue felt like her head was about to explode.

“I’m really busy; I have to leave now.”

“Moo… Moo moo…”

Little Bai Yun kept bellowing, seemingly saying, give me more, you’ve made a baby crave it.

Qi Yue couldn’t help but laugh at its cute antics.

“You’re beyond influence, don’t you know I still have a road to rush down? If we’re late, will you take responsibility?”

“Moo moo moo…” Suddenly, Xiaorou let out a low moo and stepped forward, then lay down in front of her.

“Moo moo moo…”

Qi Yue couldn’t help but laugh.

She had now come to realize that the name Xiaorou was inappropriate, for he was, in fact, a male.

“What are you doing? Kneeling just to get some boiled corn? Your integrity seems a bit low, Xiaorou!”

Xiaorou mooed a few more times, then suddenly stood up and started to trot around the space.

“Thump thump thump…”

In a moment of panic, he ran up the mountain behind the clinic, scaring the rabbits and chickens along the way into a frenzy.

And in another absent-minded moment, he was right in front of her like the wind.

He wasn’t panting, shaking, or showing any signs of effort; he was more of a Thousand-Mile Divine Steed than a Thousand-Mile Divine Steed itself…

Eh, a Thousand-Mile Divine Steed?

Could it be that Xiaorou’s intention was to offer himself as a mount for her?

While she was pondering this, she saw Xiaorou kneel down again, looking as though he was inviting her to mount.

Qi Yue was somewhat incredulous.

After all, when she first brought this fellow into her space, he had charged at her with his horns, nearly killing her!

And now he was offering to be ridden?

“Moo moo moo…”

Xiaorou mooed again, and Qi Yue said with a hint of excitement, “Are you saying you want me to ride you on my journey?”

“Moo moo moo…”

Xiaorou mooed softly and leaned his head towards Qi Yue, nuzzling her palm.

Qi Yue was overjoyed.

“Alright, then let me try it out first to see how fast you can go!”

Saying this, she stepped onto Xiaorou and, somewhat nervously, hugged his neck.

Unexpectedly, Xiaorou didn’t show any irritation and stood up steadily.

Then he mooed softly again before starting to move and picked up the pace.

“Moo…”

“Moo moo…”@@novelbin@@

Two crisp mooing sounds followed, and he started to run behind Xiaorou.

However, Xiaorou, being a freshly matured White Rhino, had astonishing bursts of speed and power; describing it as lightning-fast wasn’t an exaggeration.

Maybe it was just one minute or two?

The White Rhino carried her from the clinic up to the mountain and then back again.

“Hahaha… It’s like racing the wind and chasing the lightning!”

Qi Yue couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Xiaorou, well done; from today on, you’ll have a new name, let’s call you Lightning!”

“Lightning, just wait a little while and I’ll take you out, let you carry me and fly!”

“Moo moo…”

Lightning responded happily, and Qi Yue chuckled heartily, before returning to the kitchen to cook another pot of corn for the three White Rhinos, no, make that two pots.

If it weren’t for Lightning taking the initiative like this, she wouldn’t have ever thought she could ride the White Rhino.

White Rhinos are rare in the world, almost mythical, and she might be the only one who could use one as a mount.

Qi Yue happily cooked two pots of corn and took them out for the three White Rhinos to eat, while she herself lay in the rocking chair under the pavilion to watch them eat.

Now that she had Lightning as a mount, she could afford to delay her departure a little longer.

But, as luck would have it, she fell asleep with her head tilted.

She didn’t know how much time had passed before Qi Yue woke up from her dozy slumber.

She figured out that it was probably around 3-5 PM outside.

Thinking about the number of people still traveling on the roads at this time, riding on a White Rhino might draw too much attention, so she decided to sleep a bit longer and set out at dawn.

Before going to sleep, she specifically found a belt and spent some time around Lightning’s flanks, fashioning something akin to reins.

With this, she was confident that Lightning would be the fastest and most comfortable mount in the world.

She slept soundly until one o’clock in the morning and woke up right on schedule. She left the space first, planning to bring Lightning out after getting down from the tree.

But no sooner had her feet touched the ground than she detected a strange scent.

— Mixed with the smell of sweat, murderous intent, and blood…

She instantly dodged to one side, and in the darkness, a barrage of arrows landed on the tree behind where she had been, making a “bang bang bang” sound.
