"I went to see the soldier's training and get into a bit of argunt with the leader, but finally, he allowed to watch," Ye Jiao gave the simplest explanation she could think of. There were a lot of missing points from her explanation, making it extrely general.
Ye Ai Xia arched her eyebrows. "What kind of argunt is that?"
"Um, it's regarding military law that normal civilians are not allowed to watch the training or sothing like that."
"Jiao'er, did you learn about the laws?"
"No, I didn't," Ye Jiao replied honestly. She truly wanted to learn after this, though. If that general tried to use the law to punish her again, she might not be able to answer anything without prior knowledge.
Ye Ai Xia sighed as she massaged her temple. Her Eon Energy moved to inspect Ye Jiao's body. Upon seeing the bruises, her brows knitted further as deadly aura erged from her body.
"They hit you?"
"Mom?" Ye Jiao could sense the murderous intent from her mother. It was not directed at her, but the thick bloodlust still affected her as she was standing not far from her mother.
Ye Ai Xia looked at Ye Jiao and tried to calm her temper. "Did they hit you?"
"It's the promise," Ye Jiao mumbled. "If I can withstand the punishnt, I can stay to watch their practice."
"Jiao'er, you know that you can ask if you want to know their practice, right?"
"But Mom said that you didn't know many physical skills."
Ye Ai Xia wanted to refute, but found no words to say. Well, she specialized in using her Eon Energy because Ye Xiao always protected her back in her childhood. Besides, as a beauty and genius, there was no one who dared to challenge her after she had recovered her ntal thoughts.
As a result, she didn't have much battling experience.
"Fine, but you better not co ho in this condition again. You're going to send to my early grave," Ye Ai Xia sighed.
Ye Jiao was scared. "Mom, you're not going to die, right?"
Ye Ai Xia was stunned for a second. She forgot that she was talking with a young child who was still unable to differentiate between sentence with real aning and those that was only said for figurative aning. Looking at the trembling girl, she put on an amused smile.
"Silly girl, I'm not going to die that soon. I'm still young."
"That's good, Mom,"
Ye Ai Xia chuckled before hugged the girl and carried her up. "Now, let's wash you up and tend to your wound. I don't want your skin to be filled with bruise all over. It's not good for girls."
"Ok, Mom."
With gentle movent, Ye Ai Xia helped Ye Jiao to take a bath and applied the ointnt. Seeing her bruised skin, she rembered her husband again. Every single day, Ye Xiao would co ho filled with wounds here and there. It was her role to reprimand that reckless man and tended his wounds.
"Jiao'er, you're becoming more and more like Xiao Ge," Ye Ai Xia sighed.
Ye Jiao raised her head. "I want to beco like my dad. He's very cool."
"Oh no, you shouldn't beco like him." If this girl beca similar to that reckless, idiot, and stupid husband of hers, she would have to take care of two annoying people. One was already more than enough. Having two of them would just an more workloads for her.
"But Dad is really cool and amazing," Ye Jiao defended. In her eyes, the greatest person she ever knew must be her father. Kind, dependable, and of course, a bit shaless and proud at tis.
Ye Ai Xia rolled her eyes. 'Xiao Ge, what in the world did you feed her with?'
After applying the ointnt, Ye Ai Xia sighed and pointed to the backyard. "I have just bought so flower seeds. With your condition, I won't allow you to train, so you should help to plant them all."
Ye Jiao looked at her legs. Indeed, she wouldn't be able to climb the trees in this condition. She had to wait for her legs to heal before sneaking out to see the training of the soldiers again. For the ti being, she had to use her ti to study other things.
"What flowers, Mom?"
"Lilies," Ye Ai Xia replied. "I specifically order them because they're beautiful. Their seeds are pretty rare in this kingdom."
Ye Jiao didn't have much knowledge over plants or anything like that, but her mother loved them. There were a lot of flowers in the backyard as Ye Ai Xia spent her ti to tend them all. As for Ye Jiao, she only visited the place occasionally.
Lilies.
"Is that the kind of flower that has a lot of aning, Mom?" Ye Jiao's eyes sparkled with interest.
Ye Ai Xia nodded her head. "Yes. I'll tell you all about them later. Now, can you stand up?"
Ye Jiao moved her legs slowly to the edge of the bed before climbing down. The mont her feet touched the ground, she could feel a bit of pain. As she put pressure on her feet, the pain increased as she felt as if her muscle was torn apart.
Hurriedly, she circulated her Eon Energy and used them to withstand the pain.
"Co on, little girl," Ye Ai Xia smiled and put her hand on Ye Jiao's shoulder, using the slightest bit of Eon Energy to help propping the girl.
Ye Jiao nodded her head and stepped forward bit by bit. The distance to the backyard were only several ters, but it took a long ti for Ye Jiao to arrive due to her special condition. Her eyes watched the beautiful backyard, filled with flowers and other plants.
Ye Ai Xia helped Ye Jiao to sit down on top of a tree stump before taking out a pouch of seeds. She moved to the side and started to plant them with gentle movent.
'This place is beautiful.'
The scene of the garden made her felt comfortable. Ye Jiao slowly closed her eyes as she absorbed Eon Energy from outside and circulate it in her body before pushing it to her abdon to form her core. This way, she would still nourish her body bit by bit in her practice every day.
The two of them spent the rest of the day peacefully as Ye Ai Xia enjoyed gardening and Ye Jiao enjoyed the warm Eon Energy that continued to flow into her body.
