The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 339 - 335: Who Will Succumb to Obsession First?

The day before leaving, Ruo Xuan, as usual, cultivated with the Divine Lord Xuanyuan in the palace, "Brother Xuanyuan, when I go to Jiang County, you will come to see me, won’t you?"

His face, devoid of expression, replied, "No time."

Xuanyuan Que, now fourteen years old, increasingly resembled the former Divine Lord Nine Heavens, transcendent and sacred, untouchable and inviolable.

Sometimes, even The Emperor felt a sense of trepidation when speaking to this son, not to mention the ministers when they saw him.

Every minister dared not look him in the eye, feeling as if they were completely exposed in front of the Ninth Prince.

At this time, all the subjects secretly rejoiced that the Ninth Prince was not the Crown Prince!

If the Ninth Prince were to become The Emperor one day, they would not dare to speak, nor would there be any need to speak!

The Ninth Prince only needed a glance to know their thoughts, what more could they say?

Compared to the Ninth Prince, the Crown Prince truly made people feel as if they were basking in the warmth of spring.

In the entire Capital City, only Ruo Xuan was not afraid of his stern demeanor, even infuriating him daily.

Ruo Xuan pursed her lips, "If you are busy, then doing what?"

Xuanyuan Que: "Cultivating."

Ruo Xuan reluctantly accepted this reason, the Divine Lord Xuanyuan was such a diligent cultivator, he would not visit someone without a reason.

Ruo Xuan then asked, "Then if I encounter danger, Brother Xuanyuan, will you come to save me?"

Xuanyuan Que casually replied, "Hmm."

"And if I need help with something, Brother Xuanyuan, will you help me?"

This girl was as annoying as ever, if he didn’t agree, she would surely come up with a hundred reasons to chase after him, pestering him until he agreed.

Though reluctant in his heart, Xuanyuan Que still answered, "Hmm."

Ruo Xuan was then wholly satisfied.

～

The next day, Ruo Xuan set off for Jiang County with her parents.

Those who came to see them off included Ruo Hai’s family of three, Ruo He’s family of three, Ruo Shan’s family of four, along with the Empress Dowager, Xuanyuan Que, Xuanyuan Jie, and a few other good friends.

Ruo Hai had been transferred back to the Capital City last year, promoted to a third-rank Great General and the Supreme Deputy General of Feiyan Army. He was busy training soldiers every day, but he could return to his residence at night, and therefore, he and his wife and daughter came to say farewell; Ruo Zhou was not there.

Ruo Zhou had participated in the martial examinations three years ago, became the Martial Champion, and joined the Feiyan Army, going to the Northern Border for experience.

The Northern Border sees wars of various scales every winter, and taking the path of a military officer is the fastest way to rise in rank on the battlefield.

There is no such thing as absolute peace in the world, there will always be conflicts and wars, large and small.

All the Great Generals standing in the court had earned their positions at the expense of their own lives.

Three years ago, Yichu gave birth to a son, and she and Ruo He had been living in Shaxi County for the past few years, coming specially to the Capital City from Shaxi County today.

As for Ruo Shan, it was because Countess Zhaohua found out she was expecting during Xi Bao’s third-month celebration, then in three years gave birth to both a boy and a girl.

Ruo Jiang, for the sake of his wife and children, ultimately did not return to Shaxi County to become a doctor and spent most of the time in the Capital City. With young children to care for, he could not bear the hardships of travel for his wife and children.

However, the Ruo Family had opened a medical clinic in Shaxi County, hiring doctors to see patients. He would return there twice a year to attend to patients for one month each time.

Ruo Chuan had married Xue Yan, the sister of a wealthy Xue family merchant, three years ago, and they had a son. Since Xue Yan was expecting again and suffering from severe morning sickness, Ruo Chuan did not make it to the capital but planned to visit Ruo Xuan in Jiang County later.

Granny Lei enjoyed living in Shaxi County, so Ruo Chuan and Ruo He had been managing the Ruo Family’s businesses in Shaxi County for the past few years, safeguarding the rear.

Ruo Xuan was entangled by several mischievous children.

Ruo Xi clung to Ruo Xuan’s waist, "Sister mustn’t leave! If you go, take me with you!"

Countess Zhaohua’s two children and Ruo He’s son, one on each side, clung to Ruo Xuan’s legs, "Sister, take us with you, we want to be with you."

Only with sister around would there be lots of sweets to eat!

As long as they were with sister, they would not be scolded no matter what they did!

Without sister, their parents would make them study and learn characters every day, which was so annoying!

He Xinghua and her sisters-in-law hurried forward to pick up their children, not letting them cling to Xuanbao.

Xuanyuan Jie, with reddened eyes, said, "Xuanbao, I will come to see you!"

Gao Yan: "Xuanbao, remember to write to me when you get to Jiang County."

He Xi: "Write one letter every day!"

Zhu Yan: "One in the morning and one at night would also be okay!"

Xuanyuan Jun: "Xuanbao, we’ll be waiting for your return."

Only Xuanyuan Que remained silent.

Ruo Xuan didn’t understand the taste of parting and was nearly driven to tears by them. The Empress Dowager had never seen Xuanbao cry before, and was tempted to keep her there, especially since Ruo Xuan’s own brother was staying in the Capital City to prepare for the civil service exam.

But she knew that Ruo Shui and Madam Liu would miss her too, and children should really stay with their parents.

She urged, "Alright, it’s getting late, we should set off now. Otherwise, by the time we arrive at the station, it will already be dark!"

Amidst the sobbing of her siblings, Ruo Xuan reluctantly climbed into the carriage and left the Capital City.

On the first night, the family stayed at a station, where Xuanyuan Que had already arranged the best rooms for Ruo Xuan’s family through the ancient Shopkeeper.

But Ruo Xuan couldn’t sleep, experiencing insomnia for the first time. She sought out Xuanyuan Que: "Brother Xuanyuan, I can’t sleep."

"Then practice your Immortal Technique."

"But I can’t focus on practicing; I’m afraid I’ll suffer qi deviation if I try to force it now."

Xuanyuan Que: "..."

After a moment of silence, he asked, "What would you like to do?"

Ruo Xuan: "Brother Xuanyuan, come keep me company for a while. If your presence fills this room, I’ll be able to sleep."

Xuanyuan Que, fearing that a certain flower would bother him all night, instantly teleported to her side.

Ruo Xuan, happily making room on the bed, said, "Brother Xuanyuan, sit next to me and practice."

"Go to sleep," Xuanyuan Que dismissed her request and seated himself on the armchair farthest from the bed to meditate.

Ruo Xuan didn’t insist and quickly fell into a state of sleep training, the room filled with a sunny aura.

After she fell asleep, Xuanyuan Que continued to practice for two more hours. Before dawn, having replenished enough Spiritual Power for instant teleportation, he returned to the palace.

Tonight, he thought Xuanbao was simply struggling to sleep for the first time due to the sorrow of parting, so he kept her company.

But on the second night, that flower still couldn’t sleep!

On the third night, the same!

...

During a month of travel, she couldn’t sleep a single night!

He hadn’t realized that flowers could also be particular about where they slept.

In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.

As for Xuanyuan Que’s progress in cultivation, no one knew if it had improved, but his mastery of instant teleportation was undoubtedly flawless!

Every day, that flower found different things to bother him with, asking him to come and help!

Ruo Xuan: "Brother Xuanyuan, come here for a second."

Here we go again!

Xuanyuan Que: "You will be back in the Capital City tomorrow. Whatever it is, it can wait until then."

"But I need to sleep tonight! The room in this station smells moldy, and I can’t sleep. Hurry over here."

Xuanyuan Que: "Use a Spell to clean it."

Ruo Xuan: "I’ve used up all my Spiritual Power today; come help me clean it up!"

"..."

Xuanyuan Que didn’t feel like dealing with this delicate flower and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

Ruo Xuan: "Brother Xuanyuan, hurry up, it stinks! I can’t calm my mind to practice, it’s too smelly. I’m about to suffer qi deviation!"

Xuanyuan Que took a deep breath!

Who was truly on the verge of qi deviation?

He felt that it was a miracle he hadn’t been driven to qi deviation by this troublesome flower over the past five or so years!

This flower truly had the power to drive someone insane!

Xuanyuan Que teleported over, instantly cast an Immortal Technique, cleaned the room for her, and then returned to the palace.

Ruo Xuan happily fell into a sleep filled with cultivation training.

Tomorrow, she would be back in the Capital City!
