"I haven't made the bed yet." She spoke out after seeing him laying on bed.
"You don't need to be so formal with me, just do your own things, I will be just fine." With his eyes closed he responded feeling her scent from the pillow wafting across his nose.
It calmed him down and felt it was especially soothing with his eyes closed.
" Aaahh.. sure sure. " but her face was all red feeling embarrassed.
She cleaned everything before lighting the incense stick, it's aromatherapy was soothing and relaxing.
She lightly massaged his forehead before she gently whispered.
"I'm on duty, so I will go." Feeling light dizziness, he nodded his head and let her go back.
The soldiers already knew that those recruits who were missing and weren't among were already captured as traitors and they will vanish without a trace.
Luo Cheng and Luo Feng strictly trained them as the sky brightened, while monitoring them.
In the Ming Kingdom Wu Xue and Xie have been busy training while Fei monitored them and giving them tips here and there.
It was already into the middle of the night when her arms were aching already did she stop.
She slumped down onto the ground looking at her shaking hands, but still she felt she needed to do more, she felt like a weakling.
"Wu Xue, you have already endured for so long tonight." Xie worriedly moved forward and held her hands that was shaking and felt heartache.
" Endured? This is nothing, I need to grow up stronger, the sooner the better!" She frowned remarking as she looked at the sky.
" But Wu Xue..." Xie felt like her mentality was going astray and overexerting herself, she needed to enjoy her childhood.
"No buts Xie, in this life you have to remember that you need to save yourself first before you can be saved, what if in that dangerous situation no one wants to throw his or her life away just to protect you nor save your life? " She placed her hand on her heartbeat feel it drum her chest anxiously.
Xie felt a cold chill running down her spine just imagining that situation.
"I can save you all the time so long as I'm alive and capable." Fei spoke out trying to assure her.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom " But what happens when you are unable to rescue me? You see, you can't guarantee that you can always be available to rescue me now and then, it's important to work on how to keep my life safeguarded. " She lightly sighed.
" All right, I will always accompany you and we will train harder." Xie decided it was better to support her in whatever she wanted to do.
"Thank you Xie, I'm really lucky to have you around. Let's go back." she stood up as they supported each other, Fei tagged behind them silently.
They got into their manor and cleaned up before laying down on the bed.
King Jun has been going on through the scrolls as he tried to come up with an effective solution.
He stood up and went down into the Empress's manor and found her in bed already sleeping.
He gently patted her but she didn't make any movements nor did she woke up, she just pretended to have slept already.
"I'm sorry my dear, I know I shouldn't have acted like that but I'm running out of ideas and solutions, the situation we are in is very critical and it needs urgent attention, I just lost my cool." He gently whispered across her ear, he stood up and walked into the washroom before cleaning himself up and joined her in bed.
He looked at her closed eyes before pulling her into his arms, hugging her tightly.
"I'm sorry, I won't act like that again." He pecked her cheeks before sleeping off, the Empress opened her eyes and looked at the man infront of her.
He was no longer the young man he had married, it's been years since they got married and he has aged.
She sighed lightly before closing her eyes, there is nothing she could do maybe this was their fate.
In the forest, Lin Hong has been walking for an entire morning that he felt this was a terrible idea to come over here into this place.
"Ming Xie, why are we not arriving yet? Was it this far?" He bemoaned as he sat down in annoyance, he has never liked walking for too long in a long distance.
Ming Xie looked around and could see the familiar place, "I think we are almost." She spoke out as she looked around.
" Almost? Auntie Ming, that has been your anthem for the past I don't know for how many hours." He really felt this was enough already, he couldn't take it anymore.
" All right we will do this, stay here we will fetch some firewoods and hunt some wild game before we can rest and then continue with the journey." Scorpion suggested seeing how exhausted they are.
"You are spoiling them, they are becoming more of slackers and lazybones." Ming Xie snorted coldly as she roughly placed the bags down before walking deeper into the forest.
Scorpion just shook his head as he placed everything down and tagged behind her.
"Lin Hong, you need to start practicing, or else you will turn out to be a fat boy with a belly." Lin Huang chastised his brother as he sat down beside him and laid on the grass.
"The weather today is very harsh, we were rained on, it was freezing cold and now it's totally burning our bodies, I think this heat has penetrated deeper into my intestines, I feel some heat inside." The trees surrounded the place they had sat down, it provided a little bit of shelter even though the temperatures were too high.
"Zhou Hua, I feel like this forest is too strange, this place should be cold due to too much trees but the temperatures are very high, don't you think it's totally abnormal.
"Yes, honestly I don't find this place to be a simple Forest, we need to hurry up and get the stuff we need, I don't feel safe here." He spoke out as he looked around, this place had many wild herbs that were very rare but it gave out a bad vibe.
"I thought I was the only one being overly sensitive of this entire place, do you think it's worth it to place it under research, we might discover some it's strangeness. " He responded while thinking hard.
