Chapter 194: The Rub That Felt Much Better
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shi Qian nestled under the blanket and moved her legs sparingly. But she still felt sore on them.
Her brows furrowed.
Shang Sizhan saw something odd about her and asked gently, “What’s wrong?”
Shi Qian looked at him and paused for a few seconds before she braced herself and replied, “My legs hurt. They always hurt even before. I don’t know what’s going on…”
Shang Sizhan chuckled. “Maybe you stood in the bathroom for too long last night. Perhaps I pressed down harder last night.”
“Stop talking.” Embarrassment engulfed Shi Qian’s tiny face.
“It’ll be better if I rub it,” Shang Sizhan said with a smile.
Shi Qian was speechless.
She couldn’t deny that Shang Sizhan had rubbed her for a while. And that indeed felt much better.
The two of them went downstairs for lunch afterward.
Shi Qian went upstairs to take a nap after lunch.
She felt full vitality when she woke up late in the afternoon.
It was one fine afternoon in the courtyard.
Yan Yi came over from the south garden.
Shi Qian came out of the villa and asked, “Yan Yi, where’s Master Zhan?”
“Miss Qianqian, Master Zhan is at the training field.”
“Martial arts field! Why did he go to the training grounds?”
Yan Yi replied, “Aren’t we going to the Ninth Province in a few days? Master
Zhan would form a new team of secret guards and select a new captain. This time, we’ll go to the Ninth Province together.”
Shi Qian understandingly nodded.
Indeed, a few days remained until next month.
Master Zhan said he would go to the Ninth Continent next month.
He even wanted to take her to see the aurora.
“Alright, you can go and do your work. I’m going to look for Master Zhan.”
Shi Qian walked towards the south garden afterward.
Master Zhan selected secret guards and a captain through a martial arts competition.
She could go over and take a look.
“Oh, right! 1’11 bring along Yaoyao and Beastie.
Shi Qian turned around and went to the garden to summon the snow wolves.
The two enormous wolves quickly ran toward her when they heard her call.
Shi Qian patted Yaoyao’s head and smiled. “Let’s go! 1’11 bring you guys to the training grounds to play.”
The two enormous snow wolves followed the girl and walked toward the training field.
Shi Qian saw Baili Xi lead a few people toward the training while she walked.
Baili Xi smiled when he saw her.
“Hello.” Shi Qian nodded and looked at him. Then, he looked at his subordinates behind and asked curiously, “You’re the one?”
“Of course,” Baili Xi said. “There will be injured people in the competition. I’ll bring people over and be ready to rescue them.”
“Injured?! So cruel!” Shi Qian asked in surprise.
The King’s Garden would select the captain of the secret guards every three years. But Shi Qian had not witnessed it three years ago.
“It’s fine.” Baili Xi smiled.
They arrived at the training field together.
All kinds of training equipment comparable to the military training ground equipped the vast training area.
Hundreds of people shuttled through training equipment. They chased and competed.
Shi Qian glanced around but did not see Shang Sizhan. Then, she turned around and walked towards a house beside the training ground.
Shang Sizhan was indeed inside.
She sat in the black leather seat and stared at the high-definition LCD screens on the wall.
The screen showed all the trainees on the training ground. Shang Sizhan observed each performance.
Li Feng stood at the side and noticed that Shi Qian had entered. He immediately nodded and said, “Miss Qianqian.”
“Hello.” Shi Qian nodded slightly in response.
Shang Sizhan turned around to look at her.
“Master Zhan.” Shi Qian smiled.
Shang Sizhan glanced at Li Feng.
“Yes.” Li Feng walked out and closed the door.
Shang Sizhan pulled Shi Qian over and pressed her against his lap.. He said gently, “Why didn’t you sleep more?”
