After speaking, Zhuoyue quickly left the courtyard and chased after Jiang Xue. For origınal chapters go to 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Jiang Xue, carrying a child, wasn’t walking fast and was soon caught up.
Knowing it was Zhuoyue behind her, Jiang Xue didn’t want to acknowledge him, not even pausing her steps, and continued directly towards the mountain path.
Seeing that Jiang Xue was really going into the mountains, Zhuoyue suddenly blocked her path and said, "It’s dangerous for a woman with a child to go into the mountains, go back home and wait, I’ll help you find Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu."
Jiang Xue was taken aback, staring at Zhuoyue for a long time without coming to her senses. Wasn’t he here to trouble her? Why was he instead worried about the danger of her entering the mountains?
"Why are you looking at me like that? No matter what, Brother Cheng is still my brother," Zhuoyue replied, then strode into the mountains. After walking a distance, he stopped, then patted his head vigorously, muttering to himself, "What am I doing? That woman has done so many things to hurt Xiao Li, and I’m actually worried about her; my brain must be flooded."
But soon, he found a reason, which was that he called Mu Qiancheng a brother, so how could he watch his brother’s wife take risks.
With that in mind, he stepped forward again, heading into the mountains. As for Jiang Xue, she stood in place for quite a while before coming to her senses and didn’t heed Zhuoyue’s words, continuing towards the mountains.
She was carrying a child and climbing the mountain, so even though she had cultivated Spiritual Power, after a while she still felt a bit tired. The Little Fox in her space noticed she seemed tired and kindly suggested, "Woman, how about you put the child into the space, I’ll help you watch."
"No need!" Jiang Xue shook her head. She was tired from walking, but she could recover after resting for a while, and now that she had trained in Spiritual Power, she could quickly recover by circulating it. Moreover, she actually could infuse Spiritual Power while walking, but she refrained from doing so out of fear others might notice something suspicious.
However, there was currently no one in the mountains, and there was no telling where Zhuoyue had gone, so using a bit of Spiritual Power shouldn’t be a problem.
Thus, Jiang Xue stopped, put Little Reunion down first, used Spiritual Power to restore her strength, and then circulated her Spiritual Power again before picking up the child and continued towards the mountains.
Suddenly, as Jiang Xue was walking, she heard a cry for help. The call for help was somewhat distant, and she couldn’t hear it clearly, so she said to the Little Fox, "Little Fox, I heard someone calling for help, can you help me see if someone is in danger?"
"Sure, let me out," the Little Fox nodded, eager to come out of the space. However, without Jiang Xue’s consent, it couldn’t come out at all.
Jiang Xue reached out to touch her bracelet, and the Little Fox blinked out of the space, exchanged greetings with Little Reunion, and then ran towards the direction from which the call for help was coming.
Its speed was very fast, disappearing in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Xue watched the Little Fox leave and hugged Little Reunion as she continued to rush towards the direction of the call. Concerned that the person calling for help might be in trouble, Jiang Xue accelerated her pace.
If anyone saw her at this moment, they’d surely be shocked that Jiang Xue could walk so swiftly while carrying a child.
As for Zhuoyue, since he was ahead of Jiang Xue, his hearing wasn’t as good as hers, and it took him a long time before he heard the call for help.
So, without thinking, he ran towards the direction of the sound.
Meanwhile, the Little Fox had reached the scene and saw the person calling for help. Upon recognizing who it was, its expression changed, and it immediately used the Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Technique to communicate with Jiang Xue.
