Chapter 434: The Little Person At The Bottom Of The Box! (1/2)

The young ox grumbled. The ox cart rumbled toward the Song family's old mansion.

A servant opened the door, allowing the ox cart to drive through. Across the entire Tiandu, the one who could so casually steer her carriage into the house of the Grandfather of the Song family, there was only the pampered Miss Song Chenxi.

The ox cart came to a stop, and Little Star and Little Moon were the first to jump off the cart, lending an arm to support Song Chenxi down the carriage.

“Quickly get the red racc.o.o.n cloak and put it on Miss.”

“Bring the dragon's blood lamp to keep Miss warm.”

The servant girls got busy. They draped a red cloak over Song Chenxi's body and wrapped her tightly, revealing only her beautiful and delicate little face and her pair of dark eyes. Little Star personally held up the dragon's blood lamp and stood next to the Young Miss to protect her from the cold.

The dragon's blood lamp was said to use dragon's blood as lamp oil, which allowed it to burn for thousands of years without dying out. Moreover, the stronger the lamp oil inside burns, the more blazing it is. It could emit a huge amount of heat, so much so that the area shrouded by the lamp was as warm as summer.

Adding to this the dragon's blood lamp could improve the spirit and essence of cultivators, allowing them to practice for a long period of time, as well as solve the exhaustion of a lack of sleep. Under its illumination, the exhaustion of several days could be instantly relieved and one's physical strength would be restored.

Song Chenxi's body was weak and was sensitive to the cold, therefore, Song Gudu gifted her this treasured object to keep her warm. It was evident that he doted on her.

Song Tao came out to greet her, frowning he said, “Chenxi, why did you come out on such a cold day? The wind is strong and it' snowing heavily, what if you collapse in the cold? Grandfather is going to scold us again.”

“I haven't seen Grandpa for a while, I miss him. So I want to see him.” Song Chenxi sniffled.

Song Tao gave in right away, moved closer and reached to hold her small hand, s.h.i.+elding her from the wind with his broad shoulders. “We all know you're kind-hearted, but your body is too weak. You were just ill and have been resting at home rest for most of the month. What if you get sick again after this trip? Our hearts are going to ache again.”

“Third elder brother, I'm going to be fine. I've only been sitting in the carriage and I didn't have to walk. I won't callapse. Besides, I am wearing a red racc.o.o.n cloak and is surrounded by a dragon's blood lamp to protect against the cold, how would I freeze.” Song Chenxi tilted her little face and winked at Song Tao. “Third elder brother don't worry.”

“Sigh, see if Grandfather is going to scold you in a while.”

“Then can Third elder brother help me out?”

“Fine. Even if you are punished by Grandfather, I will help you out.” Song Tao said smiling, he also doted on his frail and weak little sister.

Seeing that Song Chenxi was coming over, Song Gudu, who did not show the slightest emotion even when Li Muyang successfully progressed to the next cultivation realm in front of him, raised his brows and uttered, “nonsense.”

“Grandfather——” Tears swirled in Song Chenxi's eyes.

“Grandfather, don't get angry. It was I, who asked Chenxi to come visit Grandfather with me today. If Grandfather wants to scold someone, then please scold me. It's all my fault——” Song Tao hastened to explain for Song Chenxi, pulling all the blame onto him instead.

Song Gudu noticed the upset look on Song Chenxi's face, let out a gentle sigh, and waved his hand across the air. In the sky suddenly a white transparent light s.h.i.+eld emerged, blanketing the entire little courtyard. The cold wind could not penetrate, and the snow and wind could not enter. It looked like a hidden chamber with air flowing freely around.

“Is it cold?” Song Gudu's lips were curved in a doting smile.

“Not cold.” Song Chenxi replied in an excited voice, scurried over, and linked her arm around her Grandfather's. “Thank you Grandpa.”

“Grandfather had told you many times before to not go out when it's cold. You just don't listen.”

“Grandfather, I haven't been out in two months. I am bored to death stuck in my little courtyard all the time.” Song Chenxi said softly, as if to justify her behaviour. “I heard that Third elder brother and Fourth elder brother say they are coming to see you today, and they said that Grandfather is meeting Li Muyang today——I thought the old mansion must be very lively today, so I also came to see. But I am a little too late. Grandfather's guest has left already.”

“You saw Li Muyang?” asked Song Tao in an urgent voice.

Song Chenxi glanced at Song Tao and said, “yes. I coincidentally ran into him on my way here.”

“You——he didn't hurt you? Did he do anything to you?”

“He did not do anything to me, but——I told someone to stop his carriage, and ask him to draw for me in his spare time.”

“Chenxi, how did you——”With an awkward face, Song Tao said, “Nonsense. That Li Muyang killed the Cui family's Cui Zhaoren, defeated Mu Yubai of the Still water sword school, and now he accepted the challenge of Still water Old immortal. How would he have time to draw for you? Besides, what if he suddenly attacks you? If anything happens to you, we——even if we chop him up, we still can't avenge you.”

“Third elder brother, don't worry. Chenxi thinks that, Li Muyang, the rumours about him is not too good, but, I think he's a gentleman, he will not do anything to a girl. Besides, he's very gracious.”

“Chenxi, you don't understand how sinister the outside world is.”

“Third elder brother, you don't understand how obstinate a woman's world is.”

“——”

Song Gudu, with a smile on his face, said, “It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. That's just her temper. As long as she doesn't get sick, it is fine.”

“Thank you, Grandfather.” Song Chenxi tightly hugged Song Gudu's arm——————

“Muyang hasn't come back yet?” Lu Xingkong asked in a loud voice, setting down the scroll in his hand.

“No. Do you want to send someone out again?” Uncle Lu, offering a cup of hot tea, said with a smile on his face.

Lu Xingkong shook his head. “No need. Even if that person of the Song family wants to kill, they didn't have to invite him to their old mansion. It's inauspicious, it's also not good if news were to spread out.”

“Then, Master don't have to worry.” Uncle Lu rea.s.sured him with a smile. “

Lu Xingkong nodded, his eyes fixed on the wooden box on the table.

It was a gift from Li Muyang for his 60th birthday. The box that housed the [Xumi spear].

Lu Xingkong lightly stroked the box, when a thought came to his mind, a feeling of enlightenment suddenly appeared, like a hot spring about to gush out. But he was unable to break through because of a thin layer, stopping him from progressing to the next level.
