Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 187 Ancient Times (41)

After that day, the two of them set out on their journey home.

Along the way, they crossed mountains and rivers and enjoyed the magnificent scenery of nature. Time passed quickly, and when the two finally returned to Qinglian City, Ji Xiao was nearly five months pregnant.

Her belly was growing bigger and bigger, and the tiny life living inside was growing healthily.

At the same time, the weather gradually turned cooler, and the autumn wind was howling, bringing a hint of chill. This was undoubtedly a different feeling for the two people on the journey, because this little bit of cold was not a problem for the two people who had cultivated themselves.

So, they set out on a journey in the scorching summer, and after several months, they finally arrived at Qinglian City, where Sigumen was located, in late autumn. During this journey, the two not only witnessed the change of seasons, but also experienced the differences in climate and culture between the north and the south.

Although the actual journey was not inaccessible, for Li Xiangyi and the others, this distance was not the main problem. The key was that Ji Xiao was pregnant, and Li Xiangyi did not dare to let the carriage move too fast.

He knew very well that the small building had been adjusted and was more spacious than before, making it more suitable for pregnant women to move around, but he was still worried.

Therefore, they moved slowly along the way, and the two were not in a hurry to return. Most of the time, Li Xiangyi stayed in the building with Ji Xiao, letting the four horses go on their own, and sending two Saker Falcons to explore the way ahead.

However, the journey was not smooth sailing. The two encountered robberies, human traffickers, and experienced natural disasters.

Whenever such a situation occurred, the two would stop and eliminate the man-made trouble, so that the imperial prison was almost overcrowded. However, the people who suffered the most were still the people of Si Gu Men.

Because the sect leader and his wife were like Conan possessed, things happened wherever they went.

If they encounter a natural disaster, the two will stop and lend a helping hand. Li Xiangyi is responsible for clearing the danger and providing medicinal materials, while Ji Xiao treats the wounded. In this way, her medical skills have become more sophisticated, and she has integrated all the medical skills she has learned in the process. At the same time, her suturing technique has become more perfect.

It is these experiences that make them cherish everything in the present more, and at the same time look forward to the arrival of new life.

Finally, when the chrysanthemums were about to wither, the two finally arrived home!

During the first three months of Ji Xiao's pregnancy, everything about her was the same as before she got pregnant. But after three months, Ji Xiao became more and more sleepy, and the baby in her belly needed more spiritual power and energy to maintain his normal growth.

At this time, the two realized that the origin of this child might be unusual. Because he was related to themselves, Ji Xiao could not figure out his origin. She only knew that this child was destined to be with them and was a boy, but she knew nothing else.

Fortunately, Li Xiangyi's practice method was self-created, and after adjustments and modifications, it does not require much spiritual energy to practice, and it carries a strong vitality force.

Ji Xiao's skills are more about cultivating soul power, and because of the scarcity of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, he cannot exhaust all the resources.

Therefore, Ji Xiao could only eat a large amount of food containing spiritual energy every day, but her current physical cultivation was only at the Golden Core Realm, and she could not absorb the energy and spiritual energy of heavenly treasures such as peaches, so she could only eat some ordinary spiritual fruits. However, these spiritual fruits and spiritual foods could not be digested and absorbed in time because of too much intake at one time, so she naturally slept more.

Fortunately, most of the time Li Xiangyi would supply Ji Xiao with spiritual energy to nourish the baby in her belly so that she could feel more relaxed.

Fortunately, the baby in my belly was quite well-behaved. Except for occasionally moving his hands and feet to show that he was still alive, he was quite well-behaved in my belly at other times.

So, that evening, when the small building pulled by four horses slowly arrived at the gate of the mansion in the afterglow of the setting sun, Li Xiangyi was not in a hurry to get off the carriage. He quietly waited for the carriage to stop completely, as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping person in his arms.

After the shaft of the cart stabilized and stopped shaking, Li Xiangyi carefully moved his body and gently picked up the person in his arms.

His movements were so light and delicate, as if he was holding a unique treasure in his hands.

Then, Li Xiangyi lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and whispered softly: "Xiaoxiao, wake up, we are home! Go back to the house later, take a shower, and then have some food; then go back to sleep, is that okay?"

His voice was deep and magnetic, like the sound of nature, touching the heartstrings. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped, and there were only the two of them in the world. (Indeed, there were only the two of them in the whole building.)

Ji Xiao nuzzled in his arms in confusion, then responded softly, "Hmm~ Are we there yet?"

Li Xiangyi held the person firmly in his arms and responded softly, "Yes, we're here."

Ji Xiao opened her eyes with difficulty in his arms, and then she took a moment to ask, "Xiang Yi, how long have I slept this time? Why do I feel like I just fell asleep and I'm home right now?"

"It won't take long, just one day and one night. We are close to the city, and the road outside the city has been basically built, so the horses will be faster."

After hearing this, Ji Xiao rubbed against Li Xiangyi's arms, and then went downstairs with his support.

"Then put me down and I can walk by myself! Let's go down first. I think Uncle Song has already come out."

"All right!"

Li Xiangyi knew that he needed to remain calm and rational at this moment. Although he was full of concern for his wife, he decided not to force her to go downstairs.

After all, proper exercise is beneficial for pregnant women. On weekdays, she sleeps more and moves less, and if she is overprotected, it may be detrimental to production.

More importantly, Li Xiangyi would never want to put the person he loved deeply in danger just because of this child.

After all, in Li Xiangyi's heart, his wife's safety and health always come first.

No risk can exceed this bottom line, not even the new life they have been looking forward to for a long time.

Therefore, Li Xiangyi chose to respect Ji Xiao, respect medical common sense, and believe that her own abilities and tenacity would enable her to successfully get through this critical moment.

What's more, he would usually be by her side.
