Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 192 Ancient Times (46)

After dinner, Li Nian'an did not delay for too long, but went straight to the study. After all, for him who loves reading, there are still too many books waiting for him to explore and practice.

Moreover, the books collected by Ji Xiao are dazzling and have everything you need. However, even for a gifted person like Li Nian'an, it is not easy to read all these books.

Because some books require strong hands-on ability, and Li Nian'an does not have as good hands-on ability as his father Li Xiangyi. Fortunately, his character determines that he will not give up easily. He just needs to spend time to study, and what he lacks the least is time.

The Si Gu Men didn't need him to inherit, and he didn't want to enter the government, he just needed to return to his clan to protect his clan members when the time was right. But this was just a piece of cake for him.

It is worth mentioning that Li Xiangyi kept the two Saker Falcons. The main reason was that the two Saker Falcons were unwilling to leave with them, because they chose to stay with Li Nian'an. Perhaps it was because they liked their little master Li Nian'an, whom they had watched grow up, more than Li Xiangyi, the serious master.

Since leaving home, Li Xiangyi has been like a wild horse, completely releasing his true nature. The reason is that he needs to pay attention to maintaining his image at home and cannot act like a spoiled child to Ji Xiao as he did before. However, he mistakenly thought that he had concealed his true self very well, but he didn't know that he had witnessed all this when Li Nian'an just learned to run and talk. But little Nian'an is very sensible. In order to consider his old father's face, he learned to keep his mouth shut at a young age.

Li Xiangyi and Ji Xiao went hand in hand and embarked on a journey to the southwest. They crossed mountains and rivers, experienced wind and rain, and finally arrived at the mysterious and ancient land of Bashu.

When Ji Xiao stepped into this land, she felt an indescribable excitement in her heart. Because here, she would see the wild iron-eating beasts she had always dreamed of. And these behemoths, because they live in a natural environment, each exudes a primitive wild charm.

Compared to the docile and cute ferruginous animals she had seen in the zoo, these wild creatures were obviously more aggressive. They were muscular, powerful, and every move was full of power; their sharp claws and sharp teeth made people shudder.

However, it is this strong aggressiveness that makes wild iron-eating beasts have a more acute sense of territory. Once an external enemy invades, they will attack without hesitation, showing amazing fighting power.

Seeing this scene, Ji Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, wild animals are the most real and powerful existence!"

Especially when she saw the amazing bite force of the iron-eating beast, Ji Xiao was even more impressed by it. This kind of power seemed to be able to tear everything apart, and it was worthy of the name of Chi You's war cavalry! She secretly thought, how great it would be if she could also have such a powerful and cute iron-eating beast!

So in the following days, Ji Xiao was immersed in observing wild iron-eating beasts. All this made her feel the wonder of nature, so it was inevitable that she ignored Li Xiangyi. However, Li Xiangyi had no complaints about this, because she finally found something interesting to do, so Li Xiangyi quietly accompanied her, did not disturb her, and tried his best to provide her with good living conditions.

All this not only allowed Ji Xiao to gain valuable experience and inspiration, but also made her deeply realize the greatness and magic of nature. However, no matter how much she liked the iron-eating beasts, Ji Xiao did not reveal her aura to disturb them.

After observing the cubs of the iron-eating beast that day, Li Xiangyi took Ji Xiao back to their current base, which was far away from the territory of the iron-eating beast, but not too far away.

After lunch, the two leaned against each other under the shade of the tree. It was rare for Ji Xiao to come back so early, so the two of them talked quietly.

Ji Xiao, like a lazy kitten, found a comfortable position in Li Xiangyi's warm embrace. Then she gently raised her head, her lips lightly touched his firm jaw, with a hint of guilt in her eyes: "Xiangyi, I'm really sorry, I have neglected you recently."

Li Xiangyi lowered his head gently, gazing at his wife in his arms, who was as beautiful as ever, with a look of doting and affection on his face. Then he responded solemnly, "Xiaoxiao, please don't say that. We are husband and wife, and we should understand and tolerate each other. Besides, when I first proposed to establish Si Gu Men, didn't you fully support me? At that time, there were many things to do, and I didn't care about you enough, but you never complained at all?

What's more, you supported my ideals even before we got married. Now that we are married and you have given birth to a child for me, I should stand firmly behind you and support you unconditionally. "

His words were sincere and honest, like a warm current flowing into Ji Xiao's heart, making her feel happy and at ease. Ji Xiao's eyes were filled with tears of emotion. She hugged Li Xiangyi tightly and said softly: "Xiangyi, thank you for your tolerance and understanding. I feel so lucky to have you by my side. No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we must face them together. No matter how many difficulties and dangers there are ahead, we must not let go of each other's hands, okay?"

Li Xiangyi smiled and nodded, hugged Ji Xiao tighter, and whispered: "Well, don't worry, Xiaoxiao, I will always be by your side, no matter how many storms there are, I will be with you to the end. As long as we work hand in hand, I believe nothing can stop us."

In this warm atmosphere, the two leaned against each other, quietly enjoying the peaceful afternoon.

Just when Ji Xiao was about to fall asleep, she suddenly woke up as if she was stung by something. Before she could fully come to her senses, Li Xiangyi noticed Ji Xiao's unusual movements and lowered his head and asked softly: "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Ji Xiao shook her head and frowned and said, "Xiangyi, this morning I saw a mother iron-eating beast abandon her cub. I wanted to bring it back to raise, but the big cat hadn't gone far at that time, and I was a little afraid that it would be hurt by humans breaking in, so I didn't dare to pick it up. Later, when you came to me, I forgot about it..." When he said this, Ji Xiao's eyes revealed a trace of regret and self-blame.

Li Xiangyi kissed Ji Xiao's forehead comfortingly and said gently: "It's okay. Now that you remember this, let's go look for it now. Maybe we can find the little iron-eating beast."

Ji Xiao thought it was possible, and an expectant smile immediately appeared on her face. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, okay!"
