Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Future Mistress
Hearing Ke Xianhao’s question, Xie Yanghui looked back at him and said in a good mood, “Uncle Jin sent a secret letter today. He found clues about Ling’er.”

When Ke Xianhao heard this, he was surprised and happy for his friend. After more than eleven years of unremitting search, Xie Yanghui finally found clues about his wife. Ke Xianhao raised his glass to Xie Yanghui and said sincerely, “I wish you good luck.”

Xie Yanghui filled up his wine cup, collided it with Ke Xianhao’s wine cup, and drank it all in one breath. Putting down the empty wine cup on the low table, Xie Yanghui smiled and said, “Thank you for your blessing.”

After saying that, he quickly left Qian Qing Palace. Ke Xianhao looked at Xie Yanghui’s hurried-away figure and sighed, “I hope he can really find her this time.”

After Xie Yanghui returned to Xie Guogong’s mansion, Xuan Ruiquan secretly went to Dali Si with Jian Yi and the other secret guards while Jian Liu and his subordinates stayed in the imperial palace to investigate everyone attending tonight’s imperial banquet.

While the undercurrent of political intrigue and power struggle in the imperial capital city is undergoing subtle changes, time slowly passes like a gentle wind.

Early the next morning in Yunshan Village, the villagers woke up one after another before dawn. Another day arrived, and it filled the villagers of Yunshan Village with hope and anxiety.

When Duan Yixin finally walked out of her small bedroom, she saw faint smoke coming from the houses in the distance. This was the first time she had seen such a scene since she came to this world.

Looking at the peaceful morning scene in front of her, Duan Yixin smiled slightly and said, “It seems that the villagers’ life is getting better and better. I hope the government can solve the banditry problem and restore peace for the people as soon as possible.”

As she watched the sunrise in the front yard, she suddenly smelled blood in the air. This faint smell of blood was all too familiar to her. Duan Yixin looked around but saw nothing.

She thought for a while and asked, “Liushiliu, is that you?”

Liushiliu was speechless while he stood on the branches of an ancient tree near Duan Yixin’s home.

“…..” How could she smell the blood in my body from so far away? Does Miss Duan have a dog’s nose?

Now that Duan Yixin already knew he was here, Liushiliu decided to reveal his existence. He activated his lightness skill and jumped towards Duan Yixin’s home.

When he landed lightly on the ground, he heard Duan Yixin say, “Welcome back, Liushiliu. Is your mission completed?”

Hearing her words of welcome, Liushiliu raised his eyes. After a few seconds, he nodded and said, “Mhm.”

“Did you come to visit me because you had no mission?” Duan Yixin asked as she walked towards the kitchen.

When she asked this question, Liushiliu looked at her back and thought, ‘Should I tell Miss Duan that my new mission is to protect her and investigate everyone in Yunshan Village?’

Just when Liushiliu was in a dilemma, Duan Yixin poked her head out of the small kitchen window and asked, “Liushiliu, have you had breakfast?”

Hearing her question, Liushiliu came back from his thoughts and replied reflexively, “Not yet.”

“Then what do you want to eat? You just came back so that I will treat you to a meal.” Duan Yixin added.

Liushiliu thought about his master’s reaction when he took out the small jar of cold ointment from the cloth bag. Judging from the commander’s words and his master’s strange behavior, Liushiliu can be sure that his master has feelings for Duan Yixin.

Since his master likes Duan Yixin, she will eventually become his master’s wife. Thinking that they would become a family in the future, Liushiliu suddenly felt that he and Duan Yixin had become closer.

With this thought in mind, Liushiliu said, “I like everything Miss Duan makes.”

Liushiliu thought his answer would make his future mistress happy, but Duan Yixin was in trouble. Hearing his answer, Duan Yixin frowned, scratched her chin, and quickly flipped through the thick recipe book in the warehouse with her mind.

Standing outside the kitchen, Liushiliu saw her thoughtful look and asked, “Miss Duan, is there something troubling you? Do you need my help?”

Duan Yixin shook her head and said, “I’m fine. You can take a rest while I prepare breakfast.”

After saying that, she started to get busy in the kitchen. Seeing that he couldn’t help her, Liushiliu took the broom and started cleaning the courtyard while waiting for breakfast. While the two were working silently, Chi Xiyou was on his way to visit Duan Yixin.

As soon as Liushiliu noticed Chi Xiyou’s presence, he quickly put away the broom and disappeared from the front yard. The moment Chi Xiyou arrived at Duan Yixin’s house, he frowned and looked around.

When Duan Yixin came out of the kitchen with a big pot of seafood porridge, she saw Chi Xiyou standing outside the fence. She sniffed the air and smelled a very faint smell of blood. Based on the faint smell of blood in the air, Duan Yixin knew that Liushiliu was hiding far away.

After confirming that Liushiliu was gone, Duan Yixin placed the pot of seafood porridge on the wooden table, smiled at Chi Xiyou, and asked, “Elder Brother Xiyou, what are you doing standing outside the fence? Why don’t you come in?”

After hearing what she said, Chi Xiyou opened the door and walked in. Looking at the large pot of seafood porridge, he asked, “Did anyone come to your house just now?”

Hearing his question, Duan Yixin raised her eyebrows slightly. However, she did not answer his question. Instead, she asked, “Do you have anything important to do? You rarely come to visit so early in the morning.”

“Didn’t we agree to visit Uncle Sun today to order hydroponic shelves and more wooden buckets from him?” He asked her while looking around.
