Capítulo 1746: Chapter 1686: Opening Up the Heart (4 Consecutive Updates)
After the hunt was over, He Lingzhi also jumped onto the high ground. Seeing Song Xiaodong, she cried out in surprise and leapt directly towards him.
Song Xiaodong reached out and caught her in a princess hold, laughing, “You’ve been staying here for so long, you’re still like a kid.”
He Lingzhi wrapped her arms around Song Xiaodong’s neck and kissed him on the cheek, saying, “It’s been over a month since I last saw you, of course I missed you.”
He Lingzhi used to be a kung fu fanatic, but after being with Song Xiaodong, especially after practicing dual cultivation together, she beca sowhat obsessed with him. Given her character, she didn’t care about others’ opinions. When she missed Song Xiaodong, she showed it directly.
Qiao Yunxi turned away, saying, “Let’s stop here today and head back.”
“Understood!” He Lingzhi exclaid excitedly.
Song Xiaodong asked in surprise, “Lingzhi, are you following Yunxi’s orders?”
He Lingzhi answered without minding, “Yes, Yunxi is naturally a leader, more like a commanding general, who can organize everything perfectly. I’m more rough around the edges, more suited to being a vanguard, so here, I follow her lead.”
Qiao Yunxi said, “It’s just you are giving way to .”
He Lingzhi laughed, “Don’t be modest, several city lords have praised you, saying that if wars were still happening here, you would definitely unify the world.”
Qiao Yunxi said, “They say that because of our status, it’s just flattery. Do you really believe it?”
Song Xiaodong nodded seriously, “Those four city lords aren’t just anybody. Even if they exaggerate due to your status, it definitely ans they recognize your abilities.”
He Lingzhi nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, that’s true. People following us all admire Yunxi.”
Song Xiaodong laughed, “Yunxi is actually sowhat born in the wrong era. If it were warti, she’d certainly be a legendary female commander in history.”
Qiao Yunxi, praised by both, felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Stop teasing , it’s just a hunt, we’re all just having fun, no need to overthink it.”
The group returned to the place where Song Xiaodong used to live, where several city lords were waiting for him.
For them, Song Xiaodong was their benefactor; the things he brought significantly improved the lives of the people here.
Imagine primitive people using modern items; almost every item brought revolutionary changes to their lives.
Moreover, having used the things Song Xiaodong brought, they couldn’t accept returning to their old lifestyle, and their dependence on Song Xiaodong grew stronger.
Song Xiaodong chatted with the four city lords for a while; they reported the livelihood issues to Song Xiaodong, as without wars, livelihood beca the top priority here.
Song Xiaodong was most concerned about this issue. Although foreign items are good, they can’t cultivate bad habits like laziness and idleness; the real change must co from the people themselves.
In these matters, He Lingzhi had no say and wasn’t interested; she quickly hid back in the room, while Qiao Yunxi offered many insights based on her observations and experiences.
Her insights were quite unique and reasonable, making Song Xiaodong nod repeatedly in agreent.
After eting the four city lords, only Qiao Yunxi and Song Xiaodong were left in the room.
Song Xiaodong said, “Yunxi, you are indeed very capable.”
Qiao Yunxi replied, “Thank you for the complint. I haven’t been to school much; I’m just talking nonsense.”
She now had less of a street-wise deanor and more of the bearing of a great general, which suited her well in this environnt.
“Learning things that can’t be put to use is aningless; even if you master book knowledge, it’s useless if it can’t be applied practically. Besides, with your standout abilities in this area, you could pursue systematic learning in the future.”
“Yes, I will learn in the future,” Qiao Yunxi nodded, hands clenching into fists, feeling a bit nervous.
Song Xiaodong continued, “Yunxi, I have a thought, wonder if you’re willing.”
Qiao Yunxi took a deep breath and said, “No problem, if it’s about cultivating feelings first, I’m willing.” As she spoke, she stood up and walked toward Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong was stunned for a mont, and Qiao Yunxi had already sat on his lap, saying, “Though I haven’t experienced it myself, I know how to please a man.”
Song Xiaodong felt awkward, saying, “Yunxi, that’s not what I ant, you misunderstood, don’t do this with a mindset of completing a task, it feels weird to .”
Qiao Yunxi looked at Song Xiaodong, frowned slightly, and said, “I’m not here to complete a task; I just feel it’s inevitable sooner or later. If you want, I’ll give it to you.”
Song Xiaodong, both amused and helpless, lifted Qiao Yunxi off his lap, holding her hands, saying, “Yunxi, although you will undoubtedly beco my wife, I want you to fall in love with
first, then be my wife. But opening the Dragon Gate Base is the top priority now, so you’ll have to bear with it for a while.”
