Chapter 471 Night Visit to the Winter Plum Garden
After eating vegetarian food and resting for lunch, the girls followed the other pilgrims out of the back gate of the courtyard and walked towards the peach grove. When they reached the fork in the road, they turned left to reach the winter plum garden.
Not far ahead, a rich fragrance filled the air, and then the golden flowers bloomed gracefully on the branches.
Wow, it smells so good!
Yao Suisui took a deep breath and pulled Ren Ranman along to walk a few steps quickly.
The others surrounded the sixth princess, ready to lend a hand at any time. However, the sixth princess managed to control her wheelchair on her own the entire time and did not need their help at all.
“Bamboo, take a break, I’ll push for a while,” Yao Maimai said.
Unexpectedly, the princess insisted, "It's alright, I can manage on my own, don't worry. I ate a lot at noon, so I still have the strength. I'll definitely ask you for help when I run out of energy."
Seeing their future sister-in-law face her experiences so calmly, the Wen sisters felt even more respect for her. They thought to themselves, if one of them had suffered such misfortune from a young age, they might not have had the Sixth Princess's resilience!
The sisters couldn't help but look up at the sky. It wasn't even late afternoon yet; there was still a long time before it got dark!
Time passed little by little as everyone enjoyed the flowers and chatted.
As dinner time approached, the group of girls went to the main hall for another vegetarian meal. This time, no arguments or accidents occurred in the hall, and everyone ate quietly.
After dinner, it gradually got dark, and everyone went back to their rooms.
I don't know why, but these girls always have so much to talk about when they get together. They chatter away for half the night and don't feel sleepy at all.
At the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), Wenxia and Yao Maimai, whose spiritual senses had been constantly projected outwards, finally noticed the movement.
A sharp bird cry rang out from the back of the temple.
A moment later, Wenxia said, "My older brother and the others have arrived."
The next second, the sixth princess blinked her eyes a few times, her expression a mixture of joy and confusion, as she tried to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.
Yao Maimai couldn't help but tease, "Bamboo, if you want to laugh, just laugh. Why are you holding it in? It looks so weird that you're not laughing!"
"Oops, you ambushed me... Hahaha."
Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, the Sixth Princess kissed Yao Maimai's armpit.
"Alright, stop fooling around, let's go out the back door."
After saying that, Wenxia squatted down in front of the Sixth Princess, "Princess sister-in-law, come on up, I'll carry you out."
The sixth princess hesitated for a moment, "...Isn't this a bit inappropriate?!"
"How about I carry you out like my older cousin did?"
Yao Maimai joked, "Is it like climbing onto the roof on the Lantern Festival?"
"you!"
The sixth princess tickled her and laughed, "MaiMai, you wait, don't fall into my hands one day, you'll be sorry!"
The other sisters covered their mouths and chuckled.
After the girls went out the back door, they saw Wenwen and her two siblings waiting by the door.
"Brother, let's go to the winter plum garden area. The land there is stable."
After giving her suggestion, Wenxia carried the Sixth Princess on her back and quickly led the way forward.
Upon reaching the stable plot of land, Yao Maimai quickly retrieved a chair, and Wenxia placed the sixth princess on it.
So, the Sixth Princess sat in the chair and watched as the Wen siblings, as if by magic, instantly set up a spacious tent around her.
The room was fully equipped with tables, chairs, and benches, and there was even food on the tables.
She herself was in the middle of the tent at that moment.
It all felt like a dream.
Although the Sixth Princess tried her best to control her expression, her wide eyes revealed her surprise and curiosity. So this is what cultivators are? This is the supernatural power of cultivators that the Prince Consort was talking about?
"Hey, bamboo, wink!"
Yao Maimai waved her hand in front of the sixth princess, "Snap out of it! This is nothing. Let your older cousin heal your leg first. Once your leg is healed, there are many things waiting for you to experience!"
"......oh oh."
The Sixth Princess's gaze involuntarily drifted towards Wen Chengjian, who had been watching her intently. Everyone present was aware of their interaction, though they remained silent. Only Yao Maimai dared to make a joke.
"Big cousin, um? We're going out for a walk, okay? You take good care of Zhu Zi's leg. We won't bother you two, hehehe!"
After that, the others left the tent one after another and began their night tour of the winter plum garden.
"What? What did you say?"
Wenxia asked incredulously, "Dad wants my eldest and second brothers to go with you?"
"Uncle is biased, why can't we go with you?"
Yao Maimai pouted and complained, clinging to Wenwen's arm as she asked, "When can we go out and travel too?"
"Once your cultivation level is high enough that you can protect yourself when facing Tribulation Cultivators, then it will be fine."
Wenwen looked at Ren Ran and Danjie beside her and said, "Dandan and Manman are the same. When you go to Medicine King Valley in a while, improve your cultivation as soon as possible and try to reach the third level by the end of the year. When I have time, I will take you to Xingyu City."
Then, turning to his older sisters, he said, "Second sister, third sister, fourth sister, Sui Sui, you must all reach the fourth level by the end of the year."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wenqiong became excited, "Fifth Sister, are you serious? Are we going to that immortal city?"
Yes, and...
Before Wenwen could finish her sentence, Wen Chengbin poured cold water on the group.
"Achieving this goal by the end of the year won't be easy. Anyway, I don't really believe in you guys. I guess your dreams will be dashed by then, hahaha."
"Second brother, you! You're asking for it! Take this!"
"Hmph, I'll kick him! Sisters, let's go!"
The younger sisters all reached out their claws, scratching him as much as they could, just to vent their anger.
So, Wen Chengbin dodged his sisters' clutches while howling and screaming like a banshee.
Fortunately, the plum blossom garden is some distance from the temple's backyard, otherwise the playful shouts coming from the middle of the night would have been quite eerie.
The two people in the tent in the open space of the winter plum garden were completely silent.
The sixth princess's leg ailment was not congenital, but more than ten years of paralysis had caused severe blockage of the meridians in her legs, and her leg bones had also weakened.
Forcibly clearing blocked meridians with spiritual power is no less painful than the pain of a broken leg.
The process of strengthening bones can be very painful, and I don't know if the person in front of me can withstand that pain.
After examining the items thoroughly, Wen Chengjian fell silent.
The sixth princess, who was waiting for him to speak, waited for a long time but did not hear him say anything. Instead, she saw that he looked very embarrassed.
The Sixth Princess's heart sank. Was there still no way out? The expectations and hopes that had risen within her crumbled at that moment.
After several internal struggles, the Sixth Princess adjusted her mindset. So be it. She had been in a wheelchair for more than ten years and was already used to it. It didn't matter. At most, it would just be a matter of sitting in it for a few more decades. There was no difference between the past, present, and future.
Having figured this out, the Sixth Princess shrank her legs and spoke.
"Or maybe we should just forget about it. You don't need to put yourself in a difficult position!"
Feeling the leg beneath his hand slowly retracting, Wen Chengjian instinctively grabbed the Sixth Princess's ankle.
