C40 Part1

Translated by An Edited by An

In the early morning of the next day, Zheng Shou covered Yang QiQi’s face and carried her in his arms till he entered the carriage. Then, the group hurried towards the direction of the Han City.

In the evening, the dust settled and they finally reached their destination.

This type of an ancient carriage could be said to be the one and only in the entire Empire. It was ostentatiously passing through the great streets and the small alleys (1) of the Han city till it arrived at the Saintess Hall in the center of the city, so there was nothing to be said about the degree of its conspicuousness. The passers-by all stood around and watched it out of curiosity, gesticulating and wagging their tongues.

“What’s in that chest?”

“A chest with wheels which also seems to have a door on it. Wouldn’t this be the carriage that is mentioned in the ancient books? Oh, look, are they the horses who are pulling this carriage?”

…

Someone directly asked Ah Quan and Ah Le: “Hey, two Brothers. Is this a carriage?”

“Yes, it’s a carriage.” Ah Quan lifted his head high and snorted.

You can’t even recognize a carriage. Compared to me, this bumpkin from a small desert border town in the corner of the Empire, your experience is lacking.

It’s really a carriage~

Everyone gasped. The beastman who guessed right showed the look of ‘I am just a little knowledgeable’ in contrast to his modest attitude.

Someone asked, “Is anyone sitting inside this carriage?”

“Of course. The Female Warrior from our small desert border town, Lady QiQi is sitting inside.” Ah Quan raised his head higher, making his long neck bend into a strange angle.

When they heard that it was a Female Warrior, everyone was a little disappointed.

Although female beastmen were very precious, and the Female Warriors were even rarer, as a resident of the Han City which had a Green-Ranked Saintess Hall, they still had some chances to see a Female Warrior. Only a remote town like this small desert border town would express so much excitement over one Female Warrior and treat her like an immortal. They even built an antique carriage to see her off.

“You’re really a country bumpkin!” Someone in the crowd murmured. Everyone lost interest in exploring, and gradually went away on their own.

“You are the country bumpkins!” Ah Quan snorted, “Are your Female Warriors the same as ours? Do your Female Warriors have the beauty of our Female Warrior? Do your Female Warriors also have double…”

Seeing that the horse beside him was going to blurt out the truth, Ah Le hurriedly flicked his tail: “Shut up, Ah Quan.”

Ah Quan promptly closed his mouth and sneaked a peek at the carriage behind him out of a guilty conscience.

Before departing, Lord Luo Chong had already instructed them that matters concerning Lady QiQi should be kept secret, especially the fact of her having double attributes. When they first arrive in Han City, they should avoid doing something clumsy to save face. Or else, Yang QiQi would arouse the hostility of other Female Warriors and be maliciously isolated by them.

Aiyaya … He almost created trouble for Lady QiQi.

At this time, Yang QiQi was holding the window frame with her hand, and looking at the scenes outside with curiosity.

The architectural style of Han City was very similar to that of the small desert border town. Except that the area of the houses was larger and the courtyards were smaller. The wider roads here had many shops selling various things on both sides. The pedestrians on the street were bustling with activity, and the scene was not much different from that of the major cities of the world where she lived in her previous life. However, just like she had seen in the small town, the number of female beastmen on the street was still very small but their dresses were much more fashionable than that of the small desert border town.

“Ah Ji, aren’t all the children born here sent to the Nursing Halls immediately after their birth? How could that female beastman still be together with her child?”

Nian JiMo pressed her head down with the palm of his hand to ensure that pedestrians outside the carriage could only see her eyes. Following her gaze, he realized that she was looking at a middle-aged female beastman who was holding a fifteen or sixteen-year-old male beastman standing next to her, within her arms.

“That’s not her son. He’s one of her spouses.” Nian JiMo said coldly. “Although we can recognize our parents by their scent, we don’t have any affections for them and vice versa. Even if we meet, it’s highly improbable that we will acknowledge or communicate with each other. Some older females like this kind of underage cubs. They will go to the Nursery Hall to pick out the little male beasts without a female. They will accompany the cubs from an early age for developing feelings, and when they reach adulthood, those females will take the cubs home to become their spouses.”
