Chapter 151: Chapter 151: It’s Only Natural for a Hungry Child to Eat
"These days, there’s really more and more to look forward to!"
Yuan Bao was lifted by a knight wearing a face mask and carried in his arms; although the posture was quite comfortable, the chain mail the knight wore was terribly cold.
Of course, compared to Jiang Er, who was laid across the horse’s back, Yuan Bao was already quite satisfied.
You Cang no longer perched on Wei Wushang’s shoulder but instead rested on the knight’s shoulder who held Yuan Bao, occasionally rubbing its head against Yuan Bao’s cheek.
Seeing You Cang’s favoritism toward Yuan Bao, Wei Wushang felt inexplicably jealous.
This eagle companion wasn’t captured as an adult from the wild, but had been with him since it was a little chick.
Yet despite growing up together, You Cang had never been this affectionate towards him.
"What’s special about this little liar?"
Wei Wushang couldn’t help but grow more curious about Yuan Bao.
However, Yuan Bao was unaware of this.
She only knew that she was very hungry now, and, yes, still very cold.
Only once they entered Yunyang City did Yuan Bao openly declare her hunger.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t hold on, but her will was beaten by her body.
Not long after entering Yunyang City, she smelled the tempting aroma of pastries. Already starving, she naturally discarded any semblance of dignity.
Besides, at this moment, she was just a little child.
Little kids get hungry and demand to eat; it’s only natural!
"Go, buy some pastries!"
Wei Wushang really didn’t want to respond to Yuan Bao’s cries, but Yuan Bao’s constant muttering of "I’m hungry" made them receive conspicuous stares from the townsfolk along the road. Even Wei Wushang, with his typically stern face, felt embarrassed.
For a moment, Wei Wushang was quite frustrated thinking why he didn’t decide to wear his face mask when he set out.
If he had worn the mask, no matter how the townsfolk stared, he wouldn’t be embarrassed.
The accompanying knight quickly returned with soft pastries.
Yuan Bao, of course, wasn’t shy and started eating right away.
As for Jiang Er, laid across the horse’s back, Yuan Bao didn’t forget him and gallantly asked if he wanted some.
Jiang Er felt like crying!
He wanted to eat!
But how could he eat like this?
The knight carrying him forward completely ignored his hand gestures, treating him like a cold puppet.
Finally, the group stopped.
Yuan Bao looked at the grand estate in front, staring at the plaque in clerical script she couldn’t comprehend, and sighed deeply.
What good was traveling across time?
If the characters were different, she’d either be illiterate or have to start learning from scratch. Seeing those complex characters, Yuan Bao figured if she started learning again, life would be tough.
"Take them in and care for them well!"
Wei Wushang did not dismount. He instructed the two knights who brought back Yuan Bao and Jiang Er, then turned his horse’s head decisively and left with the others.
"What’s the meaning of this?"
Yuan Bao watched Wei Wushang’s departing figure, wondering if this dashing man’s mind had a flaw. Since he didn’t intend to come home, why didn’t he just send someone to deliver them earlier?
To personally escort them over, yet not enter the door, and just leave, what on earth?
The two knights instructed by Wei Wushang each dismounted Yuan Bao and Jiang Er and knocked on the estate’s large door.
The door opened, and the guards stationed there saw the two standing at the entrance, and without a word, let them pass.
