Chapter 179 - 177. Xue Lang’s Gifts I (1/2)

Third-person POV

Weisheng asked Hong er a favor to wake him up earlier than usual cause he wanted to take Xue Lang to hunt and now, it was him who kept grunting that he didn't want to wake up. After used some efforts, Weisheng freshened himself up by washing his face.

He walked towards the dining table and saw three bowls of wonton noodles. He didn't know why but he was sure that it was made by Hong er. And when he wanted to scold Hong er for being strenuous on herself, he was immediately stopped by a kiss from her.

Hong er: ”I know what Sheng ge is going to say. But exercising is very good when pregnant. And cooking is also an exercise.”

Hong er pushed his bowl closer to him and smiled with her puppy eyes. She knew his weakness and dared to use it against him. He could only sigh as he couldn't punish her too hard on the bed because she was pregnant. They waited for a few minutes and Xue Lang finally arrived. Hong er patted the seat beside her and he quietly sat on the seat with his usual expression.

Xue Lang: ”Imperial Father, it is quite rare for you to wake up this early.”

Weisheng: ”En. I will bring you to Frosted Mount and pick up some things.”

Xue Lang: ”En.”

Xue Lang nodded his head obediently and didn't ask any further. They finished their breakfast and the father and son were preparing to depart. Hong er lent Xue Lang Xiao Bai as only Xiao Bai could compare to Xiao Hei, Weisheng's horse. She whispered a few words to Xiao Bai.

Hong er: ”Please protect Xue Lang, Xiao Bai.”

Xiao Bai rubbed her face on Hong er's as a yes. Qiyi sat behind Xue Lang and held the reins as Xue Lang hadn't fully master horse-riding. They departed and Hong er went to do her morning practice which almost made all of the servants panic. Hong er convinced them once again that it was fine as she wouldn't have a match or a fight.

The momo (nanny) that had bore babies before helped Hong er to reassure all of the unmarried folks. After they calmed down, Hong er continued her practice for 1 hour and took a bath she before proceed to give Lu Cixi her morning greeting.

After 6 hours of ride, Weisheng's entourage finally arrived at the feet of Frosted Mountain. Even though they were in the middle of summer, the snow on the mountain was extremely thick and the cold wind made their hair a bit tangled.

But since Xue Lang had an ice element, he didn't feel as cold as the others that don't have ice element. Weisheng's soldiers that had fire element transferred some of their Qi to the others so they would stay warm even in the horrendous blizzard. They continued to walk through the blizzard without rest.

A few hours later, they reached the top of the mountain and saw an enormous ice block with a flat top which makes it more like a table. Weisheng had explained to him that he was going to find his magic weapon and since Weisheng was one of the highest status humans in this whole continent, of course his son had to have the best quality things in his hand.

But Weisheng didn't want to make it easy for Xue Lang, he wanted to test Xue Lang's patience and insight in finding the magical weapon in the middle of the blizzard. Weisheng sat below the tree that was covered in snow and signaled Xue Lang to begin his search.
