Chapter 1036: To Province
Dealing with Shao Yunduan was already frustrating enough, and now he had to deal with her as well!
What did she think being the Primus meant? The Great Qin Empire had countless scholars. It wasn’t something that could be easily achieved. Was she trying to console him or mock him?
If she weren’t his biological mother, he would almost suspect that she was intentionally making things difficult for him.
Why was he always so unlucky? Shao Yunduan seemed to always have the upper hand…
The matter of Shao Liulang becoming a Cultivated Talent passed by without much fanfare.
Ms. Ma and Third Uncle had been suppressing their anger and swearing that being an intermediate Cultivated Talent wasn’t anything impressive. When their own son became a Cultivated Talent, they would hold a grand celebration feast! They couldn’t let the first section of the family steal all the limelight!
Unexpectedly, Shao Yunduan progressed so quickly that the other families, including the Cultivated Talent, Provincial Champion, and Primus, were still reeling from the shock when Shao Yunduan had already reached the pinnacle of scholars.
Shao Liulang was completely overshadowed! If Shao Liulang had become an intermediate Cultivated Talent three years ago, it would have been remarkable. But now… they couldn’t even bring it up anymore. Such bad luck!
Upon arriving at the province, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan began to settle in happily, tidying up their surroundings.
Since it was nighttime, Qiao Xuan asked Songshi to order two tables of food from a nearby restaurant.
The dishes at the restaurant were exquisite, with a wide variety of ingredients. They even ordered some special dishes. The three-cup chicken, soy-hoof flowers, meatballs, blood duck, steamed fish head, and more were all delicious.
After a long day of travel, there were all feeling a bit tired. After having dinner and chatting for a while, they retired to the room to rest.
But for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, who had experienced so much, it wasn’t a big deal.
Once they left the hall, Shao Yunduan took hold of Qiao Xuan’s hand. Qiao Xuan turned to look at him, and they exchanged smiles.
“Darling, are you feeling tired?”
“Oh, not at all. Shall we take a leisurely walk back? Maybe even take a detour and explore the garden?”
“Sounds lovely!”
The moonlight cascaded like water, casting a gentle silver glow on the flowers and trees. In the stillness of the night, everything seemed serene and tranquil.
With her newlywed partner by her side, this serenity and quietness only amplified. Her heart inexplicably soared, as if she were immersed in a sea of honey.
Unbeknownst to her, Shao Yunduan shifted from holding Qiao Xuan’s hand to placing his hands on her shoulders, bringing them closer together.
Their footsteps gradually slowed until they stopped before a gardenia plant.
The flowers and plants in the garden had flourished under the nurturing power of Qiao Xuan’s wood element. Now, with another touch of her power, they appeared even more vibrant. The hydrangeas, hibiscus, crepe myrtles, gardenias, moonflowers, and beautiful bananas had never bloomed so magnificently.
A cluster of jade green leaves adorned with snow-white flowers, each the size of an egg. The layers of petals unfolded gracefully and elegantly, enhancing their beauty under the moonlight.
A gentle evening breeze carried a fragrant aroma, filling their lungs. The couple, deeply immersed in their affectionate embrace, felt slightly intoxicated.
Qiao Xuan reached out to caress the blossoms, a smile adorning her face. “These flowers are truly exquisite!”
She felt a sense of accomplishment. Having superpowers was truly a blessing!
Shao Yunduan’s excitement grew. He leaned down, planting a tender kiss on Qiao Xuan’s cheek, then gently captured her lips, chuckling. “No flower could ever compare to my beloved wife…”
