Ka Cha Cha!

The pebble that Jiang Pengji held broke in response to the sound. All ten of her fingertips split open, and blood smeared across the broken pebble.

She cringed in pain. Her consciousness was seized by waves of intense pain, but she remained strong and guarded the last of her rationality.

Her lower lip was riddled with teeth marks. She let out uncontrollable sound of boredom, which overflowed from her lips. In a matter of breaths, blood flowed from her eyes, nostrils, and earsakin to little snakesand the air gradually reeked with scent of blood.

White was, after all, a warhorse from the Northern Borderline and had spiritual sense. Jiang Pengjis current state caused it to be anxious. Its hooves rubbed against the ground rapidly.

Pu tong! The sound of a heavy object dropping onto the waters surface was heard; it was Jiang Pengji, her entire being, that fell into the stream.

White snorted, went around its original location anxiously, then turned its head and ran towards the direction it came from.

It was after midnight. Besides the servants and page boy who stood guard at night, the majority of people were asleep.

The scholars who liked to hold their lanterns and study at night stayed within their carriages reading their books.

Lu Zheng ate and drank until he was full then went to sleep. He grabbed his quilt and wrapped himself like a spring roll. Wei Ci draped an overcoat and leaned to the side of the carriage to read. As he looked back and read the familiar content, surprisingly, he had a different takeaway.

Really? After he read one book, he gradually became tired. As Wei Ci prepared to sleep in his clothes, he saw Lu Zheng sprawl out on his back. His sleeping posture was so carefree and occupied more than half of the space within the carriage. He had no space for himself.

He should have never taken Lu Zheng in, who freely made himself at home. Who would have known his sleeping posture was so detestable? He was not impressed.

Is that the sound of horse hooves? He wanted to wake Lu Zheng up when he heard something coming. He opened the curtains. There was no commotion from the servants who guarded at night. Their lack of concern caused him to inevitably doubt that he heard incorrectly.

He mumbled softly, Perhaps it was an auditory illusion

After a while, the servant on night duty got up, widened his eyes, and said, Isnt that Liu Xiao Langjuns horse?

Whites entire body was white as snow. It had no stray hair and its body was strong and healthy. It stemmed from the prestigious bloodline of the Northern Borderline warhorses. It looked spectacular in the dark.

Liu Xiao Langjun?

After he heard this address, Wei Cis heart was moved. He put on and adjusted his clothes properly and took his hand warmer down from the carriage. What happened?

There was a total of five servants on night duty. One of them stood forward to receive the reins around Whites neck and led it; it was undergoing emotional turmoil.

Your servant does not know which direction the horse came from It seems like something has happened.

Wei Ci frowned and stepped forward. White arched its head to his chest. It snorted a few times and looked very anxious.

Did it discover something? Wei Ci lifted his eyebrow. His heart was suddenly filled with a bad feeling.

The horse was proud in nature. Regardless of how many people saw it and tried to please it, it was too lazy to reciprocate.

If White found something, it would have first gone to its master, not to strangers.

Continue to guard this place. I will go with the horse to investigate. If I dont return within half an hour, then inform Master and the rest.

Wei Ci was skilled in literacy, but he was also familiar with the Six Arts of Rites. His shooting, riding, and martial arts were incomparable to martial artists, but he was not a flower boy.

Sorry to impose on you. Please bring me to your master. Wei Ci stroked Whites mane, held its reins, and got onto the horses back. Surprisingly, White did not throw him off. White and Wei Ci rode away and disappeared. The few servants looked at each other and acted according to their instructions.

The stream was not far off from the site where the carriages had stopped; it only took a quarter of an hour to get there.

Wei Ci thought something had happened to Jiang Pengji. His lips turned ghastly white in shock. He was almost thrown off by White as he did hold tightly to the horses stomach.

However There were many trees before their eyes, thereby blocking their vision, but his ears were not deaf. The sound coming from the water was surely

Before Wei Ci came, Jiang Pengji had regained consciousness in the stream. Her energy level was at its height now, but her limbs were weak. It required a lot of energy just to lift her ten fingers.

Since she was well, she decided that she might as well soak in the ice cold stream to regulate her breathing.

She discovered blood stains on her skin. She lifted her hands and splashed water on her arms and neck. She washed the blood stains off with her clothes on.

She heard the familiar sound of horse hooves and lifted her brows, but did not turn back immediately.

Who is that? she asked. Her voice was hoarse and indolent.

Separated by the trees, Wei Ci directed his sight elsewhere; only his ears began to flush.

Just now, your horse ran to the campsite. I thought something happened to you so I rushed over

Jiang Pengji said, White discovered this tranquil stream. It secretly came here in the middle of the night to bathe. It has become a joke to Zixiao.

Wei Cis face turned ghastly pale. He stood by Whites side, not knowing if he should walk away or stay.

Since all is well, then I should not tarry.

Others did not know Jiang Pengjis gender, but Wei Ci knew and had no intention of revealing that to others.

Wait, Jiang Pengji shouted to Wei Ci and shyly said, I came secretly but left in a hurry. I forgot to bring fresh clothes to change Can I trouble Zixiao to bring White back for Taxue to help prepare a set of clothes for me? Just hang them on Whites trappings; it will deliver them to me.

Wei Cis facial expression was unfathomable.

He closed his eyes White came to the campsite not to ask for help, but to help Jiang Pengji bring a set of clothes?

He glanced at White, who had a lot of spiritual sense. It turned its head and looked at him with innocent, watery eyes.

Wei Ci facial expression turned cold. He propped himself up the horse. I understand.

He often felt that his concerned heart was being trampled upon.

White snorted and ran, its hooves pattering against the ground. It was in much less of a hurry than when it came to get him.

The sound of its hooves was heard briefly from afar. Jiang Pengji heaved a sigh of relief and rested her head on the side of the stream.

The water in the stream was flowing and did not freeze, but it was still piercing cold. Luckily, the cold was nothing to Jiang Pengji now.

When she saw her profile and statistic screen, she smiled weakly. She could ignore other things, but Base strength of 31 points, strength fusion, additional 56 points was enough to prove that she made the right choice.

She raised her hands to see her arms. On the surface there were not many changes, but she felt an internal accumulation of energy. She briefly used the stream water to wash herself. White carried a bag of clothes and ran over.

Seeing that the bottom of her clothes were above her ankle, Jiang Pengji frowned. The clothes are quite small She knew that was because of her growth spurt.

After the strength fusion, her genes would slowly become superior. She would experience an increase in height, which was also an outward phenomenon after she became superior.

Luckily the change was not massive. She was only twelve years old and had not reached the thirteen year mark. The growth rate was fast and normal.

Other than that, there was another advantage for the change: Due to the natural state of being a woman, the average height was shorter than men. Liu Xis body was as follows.

As she presently experienced a growth spurt, her height now complemented the male outfit she was wearing and did not appear too tall.

She brushed her hair back and leapt onto the horses back. Lets go, White.
