He stood on the narrow mountain path, hands on his knees, panting as he looked at Mu Qingge. Seeing her refreshed appearance, as if she were strolling through the woods, he said with envy and resentnt, "Boss, next ti don’t invite a fat person to climb the mountain, I can’t handle it!"
Mu Qingge replied indifferently, "Exercise is good for your health, helps you lose weight."
Shao Fatty said, almost in tears, "With my body type, I gain six pounds just by drinking water, what can I do?"
"Man can conquer nature. If you can conquer the heavens, why can’t you conquer all that fat?" Mu Qingge teased.
The two, along with a few guards, chatted as they finally reached the Octagonal Pavilion on the mountain, a resting spot for travelers.
Finally reaching a place to rest, Shao Fatty sprawled on the ground without any concern for appearances, gasping for air. Of course, he had no image to maintain.
Glancing down at him, Mu Qingge asked, "Fatty, did you drink the stuff I gave you?"
Hearing this, Shao Fatty sprang up as if injected with adrenaline, cautiously asking Mu Qingge, "Boss, just what exactly did you give ? After drinking it, the pain was so unbearable it nearly took my life."
"So, you drank it? Did you notice any changes?" Mu Qingge scrutinized Shao Fatty’s unique physique.
Shao Fatty shook his head and said, "After drinking it, I’ve been with you these days and haven’t noticed any changes. Boss, what kind of treasure is this?"
Mu Qingge didn’t tell him but mysteriously said, "Hmm, after today, just stay ho and focus on your cultivation."
"So mysterious?" Shao Fatty was a bit disappointed not getting the answer he wanted.
"Eh? From here you can actually see the official road leading out of the city!" Suddenly, Shao Fatty’s tiny eyes shone as if discovering a new world.
With his body type, he was never keen on mountain climbing.
Today, if it were anyone else inviting him, he probably wouldn’t have budged an inch.
So, he didn’t know that from the Octagonal Pavilion on the mountain, one could overlook the official road not far below. At this mont, a procession was slowly making its way down the road like a winding snake.
"That’s the Tu Country’s procession, isn’t it?" Shao Fatty easily guessed the origin of the people on the official road.
He muttered to himself, oblivious to Mu Qingge beside him, whose gaze was also fixated on the procession. Unlike his curiosity, she was directly looking at the golden-topped red carriage drawn by eight horses in the procession.
That was the princess’s bridal carriage.
Today, not only is it the day the Tu Country Delegation returns, but it’s also the wedding day of Qin Country’s Princess Qin Yiyao.
For Qin Yiyao, her feelings were complicated.
At this mont, coming here to see her off might be the only thing she could do for her.
Seeing off Qin Yiyao, she also needed to take care of her own matters.
In Qin Country, she had delayed too long. The more she understood the vastness of the Linchuan Continent, the more she wanted to go out and see different landscapes and countries.
But, before that, she must ensure there are no worries left for the Mu Mansion!
"Boss, if you’re reluctant, let’s go and bring the princess back with you!" Suddenly, Shao Fatty’s serious comnt interrupted Mu Qingge’s thoughts.
She turned and t Shao Fatty’s earnest gaze.
Instantly, she understood that the fatty had misunderstood. She was indeed here to see off Qin Yiyao but not in the way he thought. To her surprise, Shao Fatty had actually noticed she was here to see off Qin Yiyao.
Seeing Mu Qingge silent, Shao Fatty believed he guessed right, so he continued, "Boss, what’s there for a man to hesitate about? The princess is not bad, if you like her, then bring her back. After all, she was yours to begin with. If Tu Country is not content, then so be it, let’s go to war. Our Qin Country isn’t afraid! It’s not a man’s business to impose world peace on a woman. Anyway, if we fight with Tu Country, I, the fatty, will definitely be the vanguard!"
