“Shuisheng, come with me.”
Su Qing felt that Ji Shuisheng would be very happy to know about the existence of the coal mine, so she took him to the location where Ji Xiaoying had discovered the coal.
Ji Shuisheng followed behind Su Qing curiously, wondering what she wanted him to see.
“Shuisheng, look at this. It’s called coal. It has a lot of heat and burns for a long time. It’s better than charcoal and wood. We can pick it up and use it for our fire. We can also sell it to Tartan to make money.”
Su Qing showed the coal to Ji Shuisheng. Ji Shuisheng took the black stone and grabbed it. It was pretty black and dirty. It was softer than ordinary stones. With his strength, he could crush it with a little force. He suspected that this unremarkable stone could be used for warmth.
“Can this be burned?”
“Sure. Let’s find a cave to rest in tonight. Then, I’ll show you how to use this to keep warm.”
Su Qing nodded firmly. If he wanted to burn coal, he would need to make a simple furnace. It was easy to make it with rocks all over the mountains and plains. In addition, he would need some firewood, which was also easy.
“Alright.”
Ji Shuisheng nodded. If this stone could be burned, it would be a considerable fortune.
Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qing’s bright eyes and could not help but go over to hold her hand and say gratefully,
“Su Qing, you are my lucky star.”
“Ha, I didn’t discover it. Xiaoying did. She’s your lucky star. She discovered the iron mine and the dragon vein.”
Su Qing smiled. She couldn’t take this credit from Xiaoying.
“I wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t mentioned it. Xiaoying was indeed the one who discovered it these few times. Her greatest contribution was her persistence in saving you, the lucky star.”
Ji Shuisheng’s black eyes were fixed on Su Qing’s eyes. He was grateful that his sister insisted on saving Su Qing. Otherwise, how could he have such a good wife?
Su Qing was his lucky star and the lucky star of the entire Peach Blossom Cove.
“Yes, that’s right. She saved me, which is the greatest credit.”
Su Qing wasn’t modest. She looked up and smiled at Ji Shuisheng. He was confident and arrogant, like a proud peacock. His black eyes were like the stars in the sky. A smile rippled in his eyes.
Her arrival had helped Peach Blossom Cove a lot. Many people would have died in Peach Blossom Cove if it weren’t for her. There was no need for her to be humble about this.
Ji Shuisheng looked at the little woman smiling sweetly and could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart. He hugged her tightly and lowered his head to kiss her red lips. That sweet taste made him linger.
Su Qing also liked being kissed passionately by him. The feeling of his heart beating faster and his blood boiling was too wonderful.
“Let’s go find a water source.”
Ji Shuisheng reluctantly let go of the little woman in his arms. Strangely, he did not have much time to shower along the way. Other people’s bodies more or less had a sour smell, but Su Qing’s body always had a faint fragrance.
He was afraid that the stench of sweat on his body would affect Su Qing, so he would first wash when he found a water source.
Su Qing brought him to the north of the mountain. The system told her that a water source was 500 meters away, so the direction was north.
Ji Shuisheng was afraid that the vines would trip Su Qing, and he was also scared that the wild beast that suddenly appeared would hurt her. He used the Luan saber to open a path in front of her. The Luan saber he had lost and recovered was a waste of talent.
After passing through the dense forest, they saw an open valley surrounded by mountains, forming a bowl-shaped bottom. A thin stream flowed down from the mountain in the east, forming a winding stream that flowed around the mountain’s root. The bottom of the stream was clear.
Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng excitedly ran to the water’s edge and squatted by the stream to drink their fill. The water was lovely as if it had been added with honey.
“It’s so comfortable.”
Su Qing used the stream water to wash her face. Her body was dry and itchy, and she desperately needed a bath. Because she had not washed her face for a few days without water, she felt that her face was covered with a layer of soil.
“Shuisheng, go back and call someone. I’ll take a shower first.”
This stream was flowing water, flowing out of the mountain. Su Qing could not hold it in anymore. Even if she bathed, it would not pollute the water source. Seeing that she had not bathed, it was as if bugs were crawling on her body.
“I’ll keep an eye out for you!”
Ji Shuisheng recalled the scene of Su Qing swimming in the water the last time and felt a wave of heat in his heart. He was not at ease letting Su Qing bathe here alone. If someone barged in, she would be seen naked.
“Are you trying to peek?”
Su Qing glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and said with a smile. Her beautiful black eyes were filled with indescribable charm, and there was a hint of spring in the corners of her eyes. It was completely different from her cold temperament. It was a beauty that collided with an iceberg and a rainbow, making Ji Shuisheng’s heart beat rapidly. He stepped forward and grabbed Su Qing’s soft and smooth hand. A passionate flame danced in his dark eyes, and his deep voice was like a feather that tugged at one’s heartstrings with a hint of coquettishness,
“You’re my wife. If I want to look at you, I can do it openly. It just so happens that I haven’t showered in a long time. Why don’t we take a bath together?”
“You’ve learned to be bad.”
Su Qing pointed at the center of his brows. He always liked to frown, and when he was alone, he was full of worries.
She knew he had a blood feud with him, but she didn’t want to see him frown. She always wanted to ease his frown.
Ji Shuisheng lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms. Her eyelashes were thick and long, like a lively feather fan. As she blinked, it reflected on her fair little face. A touch of heartache appeared in her always-cold eyes.
Was her heart aching for him?
Ji Shuisheng was deeply moved. He could not help but pull Su Qing into his arms and whisper in her ear,
“Do you like the bad me or the serious me?”
“I refuse to answer.”
Su Qing saw the mischievous smile in Ji Shuisheng’s eyes. His eyes were beautiful. When he was not smiling, the ends of his eyes were as sharp as swords. When he smiled, his eyes were calm and clear, filled with thousands of tenderness, just like the way he was looking at her now. It could make people immerse themselves in his tenderness and unable to extricate themselves.
Ji Shuisheng chuckled when he saw Su Qing, who had always been cold and domineering, shy like a little girl. He could not help but raise his finger to caress Su Qing’s little nose. He said to her in a low and charming voice,
“You go ahead and wash up. I’ll go take care of you for me.”
Su Qing watched Ji Shuisheng’s tall figure leave before removing her clothes and bathing in the water. The weather was too cold, and she shivered as soon as she entered the water. The heat that Ji Shuisheng had just aroused instantly disappeared.
Women especially couldn’t catch a cold. Su Qing asked Xiao Qi to make a warm-up pill for herself so she would no longer feel so cold.
She quickly cleaned herself up and got Xiao Qi to take out a clean set of underwear from the system to change into. She could only wear her original clothes. Otherwise, it would arouse Ji Shuisheng’s suspicion.
She washed her underwear and put it into the system. She tilted her head and combed her wet black hair with her fingers. The sunlight shone on her body, making her look beautiful.
Ji Shuisheng’s back faced the stream the entire time, and he did not turn his head. However, he had already flown to Su Qing’s side. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and saw this beautiful scene..
