She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 277: Must You Marry the One Who Saved You from Drowning? (48)
Shen Xuan quickly arranged for someone to lay out the mats, while Ah Chen handed the mushrooms from the basket to others to process.
She looked around, just now when the mountain flipped, a wild chicken fell down.
Seeing this, she picked up two stones and threw them over, immediately hitting and stunning the wild chicken trying to run away.
"Did you see that?" she asked the maid beside her.
The maid nodded quickly, "I saw it, young madam, I’ll go pick it up right away."
The maid ran fast and quickly picked up two wild chickens and brought them back, her eyes full of admiration. Ever since the young master and young madam got married, the servants have been living well.
Like the young master, the young madam would bring them to play together. It’s safe to say no other servants are living better lives than they are. Most importantly, the young madam and young master are different from others, they don’t treat them as lowly beings, and being around them makes them feel human.
Shen Hui was momentarily stunned, are the wild chickens newly caught?
He sat on the mat, still a bit lost, as his thoughts slowly gathered back.
Earlier, he was climbing Guangmao Mountain when suddenly vibrations appeared around, almost making him fall. Before he could think more, a sudden dizziness overcame him as he hit something and passed out. When he woke up, he saw Shen Xuan and Lin Chen’s group.
He examined his surroundings, the mountain beside was still the Guangmao Mountain he was climbing before, the paths were still there, but many places had flipped over, revealing yellow soil, and the plants were pressed down. All in all, it wasn’t particularly bad.
But the other side of the mountain looked unfamiliar.
What about the others?
In a moment of daze, it seemed like he saw others being thrown out?
"Did you see anything just now?" Shen Hui asked, "When did you get here? Did you see anyone else?"
With so many people beside him, how come there wasn’t a single one now?
Shen Hui continued to scrutinize his surroundings, especially the familiar yet changed Guangmao Mountain next to him, birthing an outrageous thought in his mind.
This mountain seems like it was flipped over!
Seeing Shen Hui’s demeanor, Ah Chen understood he might not have understood what happened.
"Your Majesty’s people should be on the other side of the mountain," Ah Chen replied.
Shen Xuan nodded along, "The mountain just flipped, didn’t Your Majesty notice?"
Shen Hui: ...
Did it really flip?
This is a bit ridiculous.
He was once a materialist, his perception constantly refreshed since his transmigration, but now even mountains could flip. Could this world truly allow immortal cultivation?
"We saw the mountain suddenly move, so we came over to see what’s going on," Shen Xuan said without any change in expression, "We were playing over there, getting some mountain delicacies, wild chicken, and whatnot."
"I was picking mushrooms when the mountain flipped," Ah Chen chimed in.
Shen Xuan nodded, "It startled us! But curiosity got the better of us, so we came to take a look, didn’t expect to meet Your Majesty here. This seems to be Guangmao Mountain, and it looks like Your Majesty planned to climb it today."
"This is Guangmao Mountain," Shen Hui’s face darkened, feeling the situation didn’t look good.
If disasters don’t occur this year, fine, but if they do, he’ll definitely take the blame for it.
Such a big country, who can guarantee no disasters will happen? One year is not short. Even in the world from where he came, with relatively advanced technology, they couldn’t avoid natural disasters.
If given the chance, he would definitely cancel the Spring Festival Emperor’s climbing of Guangmao Mountain.
No benefit!
Still tiring.
And if not careful, the mountain might flip! It’s clashing with his perception.
Might as well organize another event, let others climb the mountain, and he would offer a prize, making it more lively, and let others take the blame!
Why did Guangmao Mountain flip? It must be the work of an Immortal, it couldn’t be the work of that person in hiding, could it? If they had such ability, why hide?
The servants and maids cleaned the ingredients, Ah Chen started stewing them, letting the others watch the fire while she occasionally checked on it.
As for other wild plants and meat, she wouldn’t take care of them.
If not for the Emperor being a transmigrator, Shen Xuan originally intended to make some modern-style skewers, but he wasn’t sure if such things existed in this world, afraid of exposing himself.
He didn’t want to connect with this transmigrator Emperor. After detoxifying him this time, and giving him a gift as Chenchen suggested, they shouldn’t meet much in the future.
According to the system, the cost for the person in hiding to pull this off wasn’t small, once the Emperor is detoxified and this phase is reversed, the person can solve other problems on their own.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the mountains, followed by a tiger’s roar that startled everyone.
The servants and maids panicked, but upon glancing at Ah Chen, they suddenly shouted happily, "No fear, the young madam is here."
"With the young madam’s skills, she can slap the tiger to death with one hand, no need to worry."
Ah Chen glanced at them, although it was true, they trusted her too much.
Shen Xuan chuckled, everyone knew his wife was incredibly powerful.
Though they said that, everyone remained on alert, surrounding Ah Chen.
In the distance, a tiger came running, its massive body moving quickly, making everyone’s hearts pound. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Ah Chen realized the tiger was after the stew of mushrooms and wild chicken, and seeing it approach, she picked up a stone and threw it over, landing right in front of the tiger, creating a pit in an instant.
The pit was enough for it to pause, looking longingly at the pot emitting a fragrant aroma.
In fact, tigers generally do not like cooked food, but for some reason, the aroma from the pot was enticing it.
Seeing the tiger leave, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Shen Hui felt regretful, such a powerful figure unwilling to stay and assist him, it’s a pity.
Soon, the food was ready, served in bowls and placed on the already assembled table.
Going out for fun, Shen Xuan naturally brought everything needed, after all, he wasn’t short on people, bringing a few more wasn’t an issue; having fun was the main goal.
Shen Hui felt that Shen Xuan knew how to enjoy life. Even with the same name, he didn’t doubt Shen Xuan might have been his subordinate in a past life.
Until they sat down to eat, and seeing Shen Xuan with the chopsticks, he momentarily paused. Just a glance and he concealed his gaze inadvertently, his mind in turmoil.
It was just one action, not enough, he continued to observe without a change in expression.
Ah Chen noticed Shen Hui’s unusual expression but didn’t mind. Even if Shen Hui discovered Shen Xuan was the transmigrator, with her around, Shen Xuan wouldn’t be in danger.
"Did you bring any chili?" Shen Hui suddenly asked, "I’d like some chili."
Shen Xuan froze for a moment, then asked the servants and maids, "Did anyone bring chili? His Majesty wants it, bring it over quickly."
This fellow countryman turns out to like spicy food?
"And some vinegar and garlic," Shen Hui added.
Shen Xuan shouted, "Did you hear that? Bring some garlic and vinegar."
