Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wu Qinghe asked, “Your mother’s dishes aren’t tasty?”
Shu Ruyue said with lingering fear, “My mother is good at playing with knives, but her cooking is awful! If my mother enters the kitchen, she might burn everything down! Fortunately, I didn’t inherit my mother’s ‘ability’. Although the dishes I make aren’t very tasty, at least I won’t burn down the kitchen!”
When Wu Qinghe heard Shu Ruyue’s words, he said seriously, “The dishes I make are very delicious, since I’ve been forced by my mentor to cook since I was young. My mentor’s culinary skills aren’t good, so he can only count on me!”
When Shu Ruyue heard Wu Qinghe’s words, she sized him up.
“Are you sure? When will you make some dishes for us to try?!”
Wu Qinghe said, “No problem, I’ll cook tomorrow!”
Shu Ruyue nodded.
When Wu Qinghe heard this, he was secretly delighted and began to plan.
No one else heard their conversation.
Shu Ruyue thought that Wu Qinghe was going to cook for everyone, so she didn’t tell anyone.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone went home to rest.
The next morning, Li Xiaoran saw a few dogs wandering in the courtyard.
“Big Yellow, come here!” Li Xiaoran shouted at Big Yellow.
When Big Yellow heard Li Xiaoran’s voice, it quickly wagged its tail and came to Li Xiaoran’s side.
“Big Yellow, long time no see. I’m so happy to see you today! How have you been? Do you want me to make you guys something tasty today?”
Big Yellow whimpered a few times, as if it was stating its request.
Others might not understand, but Li Xiaoran could actually hear what Big Yellow was thinking.
“I want to go up the mountain. I’m sick of running at home!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was a little surprised and smiled.
“Alright, I’ll tell my husband to bring the dogs at home up the mountain today, but don’t get lost!”
Big Yellow howled a few times to show that it understood.
“With me around, no one can get lost!”
With Big Yellow’s assurance, Li Xiaoran told Luo Cheng about this.
Luo Cheng exclaimed, “I really didn’t expect you to become more and more capable. Previously, you could hear what others were thinking when they were emotional, but now, you can even hear the thoughts of small animals. How amazing! ”
The more powerful his wife was, the more worried and anxious Luo Cheng felt.
He had to become stronger so that others wouldn’t covet his wife’s abilities. Only then could he protect her safety.
After having this thought, Luo Cheng thought of the soldiers who had retired from the farmstead because of their disabilities.
Perhaps if these people were trained well, they would be a powerful force!
Luo Cheng said, “Alright, I’ll bring them out for a run in the morning. It just so happens that I want to see the construction of the farmstead. Also, we have to confirm our fief as soon as possible before we can act according to our plan!”
Li Xiaoran teased, “Maybe the news of your return will spread in a few days. At that time, more people will come looking for you!”
Luo Cheng shook his head at Li Xiaoran. “You’re thinking of things too simply. Actually, no local official is willing to be an official in a fief, since no official will be willing to have a prince above him. However, you’re right. Many people
will come to investigate and see where I want to draw a fief!”
Li Xiaoran didn’t know much about fiefs, so she asked, “Where do you plan to set up a fief? How big is our fief?”
Luo Cheng said as he took out the map and looked at it, “It’s not that big. I plan to use White Foothill City as my territory and designate a flat place beside Hele Village as our residence. After I become a king, it’ll be the king’s residence!”
At the border of Hele Village and a place called Yujiang Village, there was a flat canyon. The terrain here was wide and just enough to build a house. Most importantly, this place was surrounded by mountains on three sides and could be considered an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.
Luo Cheng had chosen this place.
“If we build a residence, won’t we have to live in it? But I can’t bear to part with my parents, and my parents can’t bear to part with the villagers here either!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said, “Didn’t we say before that we’ll live in
Hele Village in the future?”
“I’ve thought about it, but I’ve changed my mind now! Li Xiaoran, your abilities are what many people dream of. If I want to protect you, I have to establish my own faction. I’m afraid my current faction cant protect you. If you don’t want to live in that residence, you can continue to live here. I have other uses for it.” Luo Cheng voiced his thoughts.
Li Xiaoran didn’t expect Luo Cheng to think of so much. Thinking of her ability, Li Xiaoran felt that it was necessary to take precautions. Li Xiaoran said, “Alright, do whatever you want!”
Of course, what Li Xiaoran wanted to do wasn’t just support.
She would also do some other things to help Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng asked, “Then will you follow me to bring Big Yellow to the farmstead this morning?”
In the past, Li Xiaoran would definitely have said that she wanted to go without hesitation.
After knowing Luo Cheng’s plan, Li Xiaoran shook her head. “I won’t go. I have other things to do!”
Seeing that Li Xiaoran had refused, Luo Cheng didn’t force her.
After that, Luo Cheng brought Big Yellow and the others out.
After Li Xiaoran returned to her study, she thought of something, so she started writing.
Since they were going to train soldiers, they naturally had to have a plan.
Li Xiaoran had transmigrated from the modern world and had seen countless ways to train soldiers.
Luo Cheng could use any training method he wanted.
To be honest, Li Xiaoran admired the soldiers nurtured by the country.
If not for these adorable people making sacrifices, there wouldn’t be anyone living a peaceful life in the empire.
Luo Cheng wanted to establish his own faction, and Li Xiaoran also hoped to establish such an iron-blooded team.
Even people without martial arts skills could increase their strength through such a training plan.
The faction Luo Cheng had established existed to protect her, so she had to do her best to help these people improve their combat strength and give them more ability to survive..
