Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1711: Returning to the Capital

After bidding farewell to the villagers of the Mo Family Village, the group set off on their journey.

Madam Xie and her daughter cried until their eyes were red, especially Chuner, who couldn’t bear to part with her sister or with Xiao Jiu. This little bird was so smart! Even after just teaching it a few words, it could speak very fluently. Little Chun was really fond of it, but today the bird was going to the Capital with Xuexue, and needless to say, her mood was very low.

Xiao Gougou held her hand beside her and comforted, "Chuner, don’t cry. When I grow up, I’ll catch another little bird for you so it can play with you every day."

"Really?" Chuner sniffled, asking pitifully.

These past few days, having spent every moment with the bird, Chuner grew increasingly fond of it.

Xiao Gougou nodded seriously, saying, "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

After speaking, Xiao Gougou raised his hand to swear, earnestly declaring, "I, Xiao Gougou, swear to the heavens, if I lie to Chuner, then I am just a puppy."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Chuner cried even louder.

Xiao Gougou panicked and quickly asked, "Chuner, Chuner, what’s wrong?"

Little Chun cried as she said, "You liar, waah waaah!"

"No, when have I ever lied to you?" Xiao Gougou was anxious. He swore sincerely, so how could he be lying?

"You are already Xiao Gougou, and you swear saying you are a puppy, isn’t that lying?"

Only then did Xiao Gougou realize, no wonder Chuner was crying so loudly; of course, he had misspoken. So, he said again, "Then I will swear again."

Chuner nodded while crying, "Okay, but you can’t say you’re a puppy anymore, because you already are."

"Alright."

Xiao Gougou swore again.

Only then did Little Chunchun break into a smile.

In the carriage, Zi Xia kept lifting the curtain and looking back. As she watched, she reluctantly said, "My Lady, it seems that Little Young Miss really likes Xiao Jiu; she’s so heartbroken!"

Xuexue also felt helpless. Originally, she took the bird home with a purpose, but who knew the little girl would become so fond of it.

"It’s okay; kids cry a little, and after a couple of days, it’ll be fine."

"Yes, that’s all we can do for now."

Xiao Jiu went with them, and Little Young Miss would have to adjust by herself.

Xuexue and Zi Xia sat inside the carriage as Long Yi and Long Rui rode behind them.

After traveling for about a day, they reached a desolate place, with towering mountains reaching into the clouds on either side of the road and dense forests within.

Seeing this scene, Zi Xia grew nervous. With her experience in the Itinerant World, she knew bandits would likely be around.

"My Lady, this place is desolate, with so many Deep Mountains and Ancient Forests; there will definitely be bandits. We must be careful."

Xuexue laughed, "What are you afraid of? The Prince and Long Yi are outside! They are highly skilled in martial arts; do you really think they can’t defeat a few bandits?"

"My Lady, even though you say that, it’s better to be careful; as the saying goes, ’better safe than sorry.’"

"Hmm, you’re right." Xuexue nodded, "Go outside and inform them to be careful. They often march and fight, but who knows whether they understand these precautions."

"Yes." Zi Xia jumped off the carriage.

Long Yi saw this and immediately rode over to inquire, and Zi Xia repeated what had just happened to Long Yi.

"Got it, you can return to the carriage first. The Prince and I will handle it."

When they rushed here from the Capital, they traveled swiftly day and night. However, on their return, because Xuexue and the others were in a carriage, they could only go back slowly, which naturally added more dangers along the way.
