Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 128: Interrogating the Hot Pot (4)
"No need, now that your health has improved and you’re alright, you should leave as soon as possible." She massaged her brow, worn out.
"I’m not leaving, my life was saved by you, and from now on, I’m your guard." Jueqing, upon hearing that she wanted him to leave, hurriedly insisted on staying.
"...Suit yourself. The estate isn’t safe right now, I won’t take responsibility for any mishaps." She looked at Jueqing, speechless at his eagerness to become her guard, without fear for his own life.
"Don’t worry, I have a strong life force. You should rest up; I’ll head back now," he nodded, gave Feng Xuxu a deep look, turned around, exited, closed the door gently behind him, and quietly waited a moment before walking towards his own quarters.
Feng Xuxu couldn’t sleep. She entered the space dimension and saw Xiaobai listlessly lying there. She went up to hug Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, what can we do to prevent bad people from entering the yard?"
Leaning against Xiaobai, she sat on the ground, grappling with how to ensure the estate’s safety and not be a burden to the people around her since she didn’t know martial arts or the Eight Trigrams Array.
"Sister, you could take a look at the books in the attic. There’s the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Array, Qimen Dunjia, and many more. There’s also a Flower Array, Stone Array; in short, there’s definitely one that suits the estate," Xiaobai comforted her. He also reminded his sister that the books in the space were all of high quality, worth browsing whenever she could.
"Xiaobai, you’re the best. Alright, I’ll go read some books." She patted Xiaobai’s head and went up to the third floor.
She found a section on Formations on the bookshelf, which was truly brimming with books. There were the Seven Stars Array, Stone Array, Flower Array, Qimen Dunjia, Tai Chi Eight Trigrams, Nine Palaces Array, and more. Feng Xuxu picked out a book on the Flower Array and began to flip through it page by page at the desk. The more she read, the more she took to it. The Flower Array was easy to understand. In essence, it involved planting different flowers, some blooming hourly, some over several hours, day bloomers, and night bloomers. When certain flowers bloomed together, they were highly toxic, and others could induce hallucinations. Feng Xuxu studied intently, feeling that the Flower Array was quite fitting for her.
"Xiaobai, where do we find all these flower seeds?" She showed Xiaobai the illustrated album in her hands.
Xiaobai, pondering with squinted tiger-eyes, furrowed his brow, "Sister, there are some on the hillside behind us. I’ll take you there."
When Feng Xuxu reached the back of the mountain, she was shocked. The place was a sea of flowers, vibrant and varied, and she joyfully ran up to pick a purple iris, inhaling its scent lightly under her nose.
Delighted with the flowers before her, she was pleased that she could plant these at her own estate, preventing just anyone from entering. She clapped her hands happily, settling the matter with ease. She just had to wait until spring to transplant the flowers outside.
Her heart, heavy all night, finally lightened at dawn.
Stepping out of the space, she noticed that the sky had just begun to brighten, realizing the time difference in the space had changed after the last upgrade.
"Miss, you’re awake." Du Juan came into the side hall with the wash water, just as she saw the miss’ shadow stirring from behind the screen.
Feng Xuxu walked around the screen, smiling gently at Du Juan, "Today’s the last day of the month, I couldn’t sleep, so I got up early."
"Yes, Miss, it’s already lively outside," chuckled Du Juan, covering her mouth.
"Oh? It’s bustling this early in the morning?" Feng Xuxu, freshening up, looked at Du Juan in surprise.
"Indeed, Feng Yi and the others have all returned, saying they came to pay their respects to the Miss."
"Heh, they sure are thoughtful."
"Alright, I’m going to check on Baihe, and then I’ll have breakfast. Tell big brother he can eat first; he doesn’t need to wait for me." Feng Xuxu put on her overcoat, ready to go take a look.
