Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2805: Chapter 3806: Youthful Promises

The spiritual liquid entered the body and quickly seeped into the organs, relieving the pain. ”Thank you, madam,” Chen Feng said gratefully.

Bai Ruozhu waved her hand dismissively, ”It’s nothing. Have you subdued the Fen Gu?”

”It drank my blood and has recognized me as its master. Initially, I couldn’t withstand its power. Thank you for your life-saving medicine,” Chen Feng replied.

Bai Ruozhu glared at him, ”How are you addressing me? I’m Lanlan’s cousin.”

Chen Feng blushed, ”Yes, cousin.”

Lanlan had only fainted momentarily due to an emotional outburst and soon woke up. Seeing Chen Feng safe and sound beside her, she burst into tears.

”Chen Feng, you’re okay? You’re really okay? Am I dreaming?” she cried.

Chen Feng hugged her, saying tenderly, ”I’m fine now. Look, the snake arm is gone.”

He showed Lanlan his arm, though it had just recovered and moved stiffly.

”Is this real?” Lanlan reached out in disbelief to touch his arm, finally breaking into a smile.

Jiao Ling laughed at Feng Jiu, ”Lanlan is fine now.”

Feng Jiu called out to everyone else, ”Why are you all standing there awkwardly? You’re interrupting their wedding night.”

”We’re here to enliven the wedding night!” Bai Ruozhu shouted joyfully. Lanlan was fine, Chen Feng’s snake arm was gone, and everything was resolved perfectly!

Outside, Little Dengdeng’s voice came, ”I’m here to enliven the wedding night too! Hand over the wedding candy. Trick or treat!”

Bai Ruozhu’s lips twitched. In the picture book she drew for Little Dengdeng, she included the Halloween tradition of asking for candy. Somehow, Little Dengdeng linked it to the wedding night commotion.

She laughed as she walked out of the room, took Dengdeng’s hand, and said, ”Eating candy at night is bad for your teeth. Come back to the room with me to sleep.”

”Alright then,” Little Dengdeng pouted but followed his mother away.

The others exchanged some playful banter, then gradually dispersed.

Lanlan’s face turned crimson all the way to her neck, ”It’s all your fault! They must have seen us. How embarrassing!”

Chen Feng chuckled, ”Haven’t they experienced wedding nights themselves? It’s fine.”

With that, he blew out the candle and leaned toward Lanlan for a kiss...

The next morning, the newlyweds came to pay their respects to the elders and relatives. Seeing both of them safe and sound, Jiao Ling couldn’t help but tear up. It was Feng Jiu who consoled her, reminding her that no tears should be shed on such a joyful day.

Bai Ruozhu carefully examined their bodies again. Both of them carried Fen Gu and Phoenix Poisonous Insect, but for some reason, neither had fully developed. Perhaps because the Fen Gu was in Lanlan when they consummated their marriage.

But this turned out to be a good thing. Who knew if a fully developed Fen Gu and Phoenix Poisonous Insect would be harder to control or cause more trouble.

Now, both of their bodies were fine. Chen Feng and Lanlan had learned the art of nurturing poisonous insects, allowing them to better control the Fen Gu.

About potential impacts on having children, that was uncertain.

Bai Ruozhu found an opportunity to go to the Peach Forest and carefully dripped a drop of spiritual liquid onto the peach. The liquid disappeared instantly, and the peach seemed to grow a bit.

She was thrilled and planned to use up the remaining spiritual liquid, but Feng Wuxin arrived and stopped her.

”Are you crazy? The energy is too strong. What if he can’t absorb it and his body explodes? He is still very fragile,” Feng Wuxin said.

Bai Ruozhu was startled, realizing she was too eager for results. As long as Feng Cheng’s soul wasn’t lost, as long as he could be reborn one day, what did it matter how long it took?

A few days later, Xiaosi returned after receiving Bai Ruozhu’s letter.

He had grown quite a bit and was almost as tall as Bai Ruozhu, with skin tanned to a healthy wheat color. He no longer resembled the introverted child he once was and had become a sunny teenager.

”Sis, why didn’t you have the Commerce Association send me a letter earlier? I would have come back sooner,” Xiaosi said.

Lin Pinger said with mild annoyance, ”You should stay in the clan to practice martial arts. Why do you keep running out?”

Xiaosi chuckled, ”They say reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, and practicing martial arts is the same. I want to become strong to protect everyone.”

Bai Ruozhu patted his shoulder, ”It’s good to be ambitious, but always remember to protect yourself first. Only by being alive can you protect your loved ones. Otherwise, it’s just empty talk.”

”I understand,” Xiaosi nodded seriously.

He had experienced much more than his peers, and his heart was very steady. Otherwise, Bai Ruozhu wouldn’t have felt comfortable letting him train outside.

Xiaosi had a meal with the family, then pestered Bai Ruozhu with many questions about his sea voyages before sneaking off to Zhulin.

Bai Ruozhu secretly laughed, thinking about how this child and Feng Wuxin shared a deep bond.

In Zhulin, Feng Wuxin looked at Xiaosi arrogantly, ”You’re still weak, unable to withstand ten moves.”

”Hmph, thirty moves,” Xiaosi straightened his posture, exuding confidence.

They sparred, knocking down a ground full of peach blossoms. Ultimately, Xiaosi endured for thirty-six moves before losing to Feng Wuxin.

He showed no signs of discouragement, instead wearing an excited expression, ”Next time, I’ll last beyond fifty moves.”

Feng Wuxin laughed, ”Alright, I’ll be waiting.”

The two exchanged smiles, and even many years later, they still remembered that vow they made back then.

Bai Ruozhu stayed in the Jiuli Clan for another half month, then discussed with her parents about visiting Beiyu City with the whole family.

On the one hand, her parents missed the big brother’s family very much, and on the other hand, Bai Ruozhu and her family had unfinished business to attend to.

She couldn’t let go of Ma Tongfang’s matter, nor did she dare to.

She wanted to live a peaceful life, but in many dreams, the faces of slaughtered citizens kept appearing, and she couldn’t get past this hurdle in her heart.

Moreover, Ma Tongfang had already come to hate the Bai Family. If he wasn’t brought down, it was likely that he would soon target her second brother.

This time, Bai Ruozhu and her family took a longer route to escort Ning Yu and Diao Bin to the Empress Dowager and Yao Yuxuan. She merely said she was going to attend to some business affairs.

Upon arrival, they met privately, and no one else knew.

”Yao Bin, is it really you?” The Empress Dowager couldn’t believe it as she grabbed her daughter’s hand. Her daughter had come back, truly come back!

The mother and daughter reunited, hugging and sobbing, taking a long time to calm down.

The Empress Dowager held Bai Ruozhu’s hand gratefully, ”Ruozhu, thank you. If it weren’t for you crossing the ocean, Yao Bin and I might never have met again in this life.”

”It was our duty. Besides, wasn’t my senior brother there?” Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, ”Actually, it was my senior brother who was the true protector of Yao Bin. Even with his memory controlled, even forgetting me, he still remembered to protect Yao Bin.”

Ning Yu blushed and bowed to the Empress Dowager, ”Madam, please consent to Yao Bin being my wife.”

The Empress Dowager looked at Yao Bin, who nodded with a blush.

”Very well, I will entrust Yao Bin to you in the future!” the Empress Dowager said with a smile.

Bai Ruozhu and her group stayed for three more days, during which she and Jiang Yichun quietly attended Yao Bin’s wedding.
