The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 454 - 429: Digging a Pit? (Part 3)

When Yuan Bao woke up, it was already the next morning.

Her biological clock had her wake up precisely, and there was no one by her side.

She didn’t know if Wei Wushang hadn’t returned all night, or if he had come back and slept over in the study.

Yuan Bao softly spoke, summoning Nanny Xue.

Upon inquiry, she then found out that Wei Wushang had indeed not returned the whole night.

"County Princess, don’t overthink it, perhaps the Young Master just got drunk!"

Nanny Xue feared Yuan Bao might overthink and wanted to offer a few comforting words.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao laughed directly, saying, "Nanny Xue, what are you talking about?"

"By the way, have Shouqian and the others woken up?"

Yuan Bao changed the subject directly, already clearly expressing her intention not to discuss this topic any further.

Why Wei Wushang didn’t return all night, Yuan Bao was in no mood to guess.

They are all adults, whatever they do, they should bear the consequences themselves.

Moreover, although they were now husband and wife, it was ultimately only in name.

Of course, what Yuan Bao didn’t reveal was that she still had confidence in Wei Wushang.

After all, if Wei Wushang wanted a woman, he had plenty of opportunities before they got married. But in fact, there wasn’t even a concubine by Wei Wushang’s side.

For this reason, Yuan Bao ought to have more trust in Wei Wushang.

"County Princess, the two young masters are not yet awake!"

Nanny Xue understood Yuan Bao’s meaning and spoke no more.

"Nanny Xue, please keep an eye on them. Let them wash and eat breakfast when they wake up. I, however, need to go practice my skills!"

Other matters can be put aside, but cultivation must not fall behind.

This is the key to whether she can live a carefree and productive life in the future!

At this time, women were mostly appendages to men, except for a few who were either born outstanding or possessed unordinary skills.

Just like her high-ranking master, who, with exceptional skills, could even surpass the earthly emperors.

Though Ying Li appeared very ordinary, as her direct disciple, Yuan Bao knew some of the inside stories. To put it bluntly, if her master had any designs, even the current Emperor Xia would have to think twice.

Yuan Bao’s current level was still far from her master’s, but she had the Incense Fire Wishing Power as a supplement, and her future achievements would surely surpass her master.

Of course, this would take time!

And Yuan Bao was young, time was on her side.

Wei Wushang not having returned, Yuan Bao left the Wei Family with Mei Jiu and headed out of the city.

It was still that small mountain!

However, when Yuan Bao and Mei Jiu reached the mountain top, they saw Wei Wushang standing there.

"Village Chief, um, I’ll head back first!"

Seeing Wei Wushang on the mountain, Mei Jiu tactfully made herself scarce and retreated.

What could Yuan Bao say?

She could only watch Mei Jiu leave.

"Uncle Wushang, when did you arrive?"

"Around midnight last night!"

Wei Wushang looked at Yuan Bao, "After drinking with some friends, it was roughly after the second watch, nearly the third watch!"

"Ah?!"

Hearing Wei Wushang’s words, Yuan Bao was startled.

That time, it would have been around three o’clock in the morning, and it was the coldest time of night!

"Weren’t you cold?"

"Cold, indeed!"

Wei Wushang shrugged, "So, I lit three fires, look!"

While speaking, he pointed towards the sheltered side of the stone, where three piles of ashes were stacked high.

"Why didn’t you go home?"

"It was too late!"

Wei Wushang smiled lightly, his words clearly suggesting that he was worried he might disturb Yuan Bao’s sleep if he went back.

At this moment, Yuan Bao felt a blissful warmth in her heart.

"Alright, enough talk, the sun is about to rise. Aren’t you going to practice?"

"Practice!"

Upon hearing Wei Wushang’s words, Yuan Bao hurriedly darted onto the rock ahead, sat cross-legged, with all her concentration directed upwards, and began to cultivate.

On her way here, she was thinking about when she would become a master like her own teacher, and to achieve that, she naturally needed to seize every moment for cultivation!

Having talent and external support, but hard work is also required.

Only in this way could she achieve her goals faster.

...

After cultivation ended, Yuan Bao, as usual, sparred with Wei Wushang.

Wei Wushang’s swordsmanship had made great progress, but Yuan Bao had not stood still either.

Their sparring session still ended with Yuan Bao having the upper hand over Wei Wushang.

Wei Wushang was not discouraged, as after a round of sparring, his own skills also made substantial progress.

Talent is innate, something one cannot simply envy.

Wei Wushang did not feel dissatisfied or resentful towards his little wife for being more skilled. On the contrary, he felt quite proud.

His wife was destined to become the stabilizing force of Daxia someday!

He, Wei Wushang, took pride in that!
