Chapter 399: Reclaim The Northeast City ( 1 )
In just 15 days, the immortal dew was already 3 centimeters deep inside the stone bowl. Even with a spiritual vein fragment buried under the tree, it shouldn’t be this fast for it to create so much dew.
Although Yao Zhi was confused, she didn’t dwell on this matter too much. She took out the jade bottle where she stored the immortal dew from her system’s storage and stored everything inside.
When she was done, she sat cross-legged and started absorbing the spiritual energy. In this place, it was much easier for her to cultivate.
Seeing that their master was cultivating, Ye Ying and Bai Xue lay beside her and closed their eyes. At this moment, the 3 of them cultivated together.
Yao Zhi was so focused on her cultivation that she didn’t realize the time. When she opened her eyes, the sunlight had dimmed.
Looking at the sky through the hole above the Wutong Tree, she was taken aback. It was already sunset.
"Ye Ying, carry me to the mountain foothills," she said as she patted the dust on her clothes.
Ye Ying nodded and let her climb onto its back. Since the workers had gone back to their homes, the black wolf carried Yao Zhi until they reached her house’s backyard.
Now that her wolves lived in the jade mountain, she no longer had to feed them. After she patted Ye Ying, she let it go back. Taking out her donkey from the system’s grassland, she returned home.
Soon after she led Xiao Lu into the shed, Xi Yi walked over and said, "Master, Manager Yang sent over a batch of lotus in the afternoon. What should we do with it?"
Hearing this, Yao Zhi said, "Just let them be, I will take care of them."
Xi Yi nodded. "Master, dinner is ready. Do you want to have it in your room or with us?"
Yao Zhi was worried about her husband’s situation, so she wanted to wait for him in the shared manor. "Just leave me 2 portions. All of you should go eat first."
"Understood."
Before she returned to her room, Yao Zhi went to the backyard and stored all the lotus into the system’s grassland before she went to the kitchen and took the dinner to her room.
After locking the door, she entered the shared manor. When she finished taking a shower, she saw her husband drinking water in the kitchen.
Seeing her, Fu Chen’an smiled and asked, "Wife, have you eaten?"
Yao Zhi shook her head and asked, "Have you left the Northeast City?"
"Mhmm. My team and I are already back at the camp. We might be attacking the Northeast City tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Hearing this, Yao Zhi was worried and reminded him, "When you go to war, remember to wear your soft golden armor."
"I will. Don’t worry about me." He poured a bowl of fish soup for his wife before he took a seat beside her. "Let’s eat first. I can’t stay here for too long."
Yao Zhi let out a soft hum, and the 2 ate their dinner while sharing what they were doing during the day.
After dinner, Yao Zhi bought another jade bottle from the system’s shop. It cost her 10 points. The jade bottle could only store a total of 100 milliliters of water. She put a total of 100 drops inside the jade bottle and sealed it.
Before her husband left the shared manor, she handed the jade bottle to him and said, "Husband, this is immortal dew. There are a total of 100 drops inside. 1 drop is equal to 5 drops of spiritual spring water. Don’t use it unless necessary."
Fu Chen’an didn’t refuse and nodded. "Okay."
After giving his wife a kiss, he finally left the shared manor.
Meanwhile, the General and the higher-ranking military officers had just concluded their meeting. The White Tiger Army would launch a surprise attack before dawn. Lu Qianxuan would personally lead the attack, commanding a total of 10,000 soldiers.
After the meeting, the Battalion Commanders went to make preparations, while he went to find his wife.
Since this attack was to test the power of the weapons given by the Lei family, they planned to harass the barbarian troops instead of engaging in a head-on war.
When he entered the sleeping quarters, he saw his wife waiting for him.
Seeing him, Xue Ya’er said, "Come and eat first."
Lu Qianxuan nodded and took a seat beside his wife. They ate their meal in silence.
Only after they finished did he say, "Wife, I will lead 10,000 soldiers to attack the Northeast City at dawn. We plan to test out the weapons from the Lei family."
"Husband, there are a total of 2,000 bombs and 5,000 bamboo tube grenades. How many do you want to take with you?"
Lu Qianxuan thought for a moment before he said, "We are only testing the power, so 50 bombs and 500 grenades should be enough."
"Okay." Xue Ya’er nodded.
While the soldiers were getting ready, Xue Ya’er went with her husband to the supplies tent and took out the bombs and grenades from her spatial ring.
They counted the weapons before Lu Qianxuan called Bai Yunxiao over.
"General, what order do you have for this subordinate?"
"These are the new weapons. We will take them with us. Make sure to be more careful when handling them and keep them far from fire. These things explode easily," Lu Qianxuan said.
Bai Yunxiao glanced at the black balls and bamboo tubes with doubt. But as a soldier, he would obey military orders. So, he quickly arranged for his subordinates to pack the weapons into wooden boxes and load them onto the carts.
At midnight, the soldiers finally marched toward Northeast City.
At the same time, the barbarian troops were still preparing to attack Jinfeng City. In the past 2 years, they had indulged in lust and lacked discipline.
