#293 - But you don't understand me

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu. Wake up, wake up."

Early in the morning, Xu Ming, who was sleeping soundly, felt a heavy weight on his body.

Immediately after, Xu Ming heard a childish voice.

Xu Ming slowly opened his eyes and found Sheng Sheng sitting on his stomach, her little hands grabbing his collar and shaking him non-stop.

"Girls shouldn't sit on the body of the opposite gender casually." Xu Ming stretched out his hand and rubbed Sheng Sheng's little head.

Although Sheng Sheng is still young, he should also teach her some "gender differences".

And to be honest, Sheng Sheng is actually not that young anymore.

In another four or five years, she could get married in ancient times.

"Ooh." Sheng Sheng nodded, obviously not listening, "Then Brother Xu should get up."

Xu Ming smiled: "Then you get down first, then I can get up."

"Oh, oh."

Shen Sheng made a "heave-ho" sound, jumped off Xu Ming's body, and ran out of the room.

Shen Sheng also knew that Brother Xu was going to change clothes.

Girls are not allowed to watch when men change clothes.

When Xu Ming changed his clothes and walked out of the room, he saw Sheng Sheng carrying a basin of water towards him.

"Thank you." Xu Ming smiled and took the water from Shen Sheng, rubbing her little head. Sheng Sheng's eyes narrowed happily.

Sheng Sheng handed Xu Ming the toothbrush and salt.

After Xu Ming brushed his teeth, Sheng Sheng handed Xu Ming a towel again, like a little maid.

After Xu Ming washed up, he took Sheng Sheng to his mother's courtyard to eat breakfast together.

At this time, Xu Ming noticed that Sheng Sheng's speech was more fluent than before, and her pronunciation was clearer.

Although somewhat surprised, it was also within Xu Ming's expectations, because Xu Ming had previously felt that Sheng Sheng was progressing faster and faster as she grew older.

This is a good thing.

And his mother's expression these past two days was also better than before, which made Xu Ming feel a little relieved.

What Xu Ming was most worried about was that his mother would have an accident before the "Taoist priest" came to Wudu.

"Mother, I have some things to deal with at the Princess Manor these days and will be away from home."

Xu Ming said to his mother.

The realm within Xu Ming's body could no longer be suppressed, and he had to go through the Heavenly Tribulation.

Otherwise, Xu Ming wouldn't even dare to be sure that several lightning bolts wouldn't suddenly fall when he was sleeping at night.

As for whether his mother's soul would be swallowed by another soul during his absence, Xu Ming wasn't too worried about this.

Because Zhou Wanfeng had promised Xu Ming that she would help him protect his mother during this time, at least not let his mother's soul dissipate.

Of course, Zhou Wanfeng wasn't helping for nothing.

Zhou Wanfeng wanted Xu Ming to promise her one thing.

As for what this matter was, Zhou Wanfeng would tell him after Xu Ming's mother was completely fine.

Zhou Wanfeng guaranteed that it was something within Xu Ming's ability and would not harm others.

For the sake of his mother, Xu Ming agreed.

"Yes, it's okay, Ming'er, just take care of your own business." Chen Suya nodded.

Chen Suya also knew that although her son had returned, he still had many things to do and couldn't stay at home all day.

As long as she could see her son from time to time, she would be satisfied.

And hearing that her son was going to see that princess, Chen Suya was even happier.

This is not to say that Chen Suya wanted to climb up to the princess and become a member of the royal family.

In Chen Suya's opinion, she was already rich and noble enough, and she could live a stable life like this.

But Chen Suya did have a wish, which was to hold a grandson.

And when Xu Ming left, Wu Yanhan often came to Xu Mansion to see Chen Suya, giving people a very kind feeling, without any airs or willfulness.

In Chen Suya's opinion, a girl like this is really suitable for living a life together.

"Brother Xu, can I go with you too?" Shen Sheng tugged at Xu Ming's sleeve, looking at Xu Ming with anticipation.

"Of course you can." Xu Ming nodded, "It just so happens that the princess can continue to teach you boxing."

"Yay!" Shen Sheng jumped up.

She would finally not be left behind by Brother Xu~

Happy~

After eating breakfast, Xu Ming and Shen Sheng left Xu Mansion and walked towards the Princess Manor.

In the beginning, the guards at the gate of the Princess Manor would still ask Xu Ming's identity and then pretend to report it.

As a result, now, the guards don't even pretend anymore, they just smile and greet Xu Ming, calling him "Civil and Military Minister", and then let Xu Ming in.

It was as if Xu Ming was already the male owner of the Princess Manor.

The maids of the Princess Manor also bowed to Xu Ming after seeing him, and told him where the princess was, letting Xu Ming go directly.

Xu Ming led Shen Sheng to a back garden of the Princess Manor.

Wu Yanhan was wearing a light pink palace dress, sitting in a pavilion, making tea and reading a book, the surrounding flowers dancing gently in the wind.

The girl was in a sea of flowers, like a painting.

"Sister Yanhan~"

Shen Sheng ran happily towards Wu Yanhan.

Wu Yanhan heard Shen Sheng's voice, put down the book, and stood up with a smile.

"Why is Sheng Sheng here?" Wu Yanhan touched Sheng Sheng's head.

Sheng Sheng said happily: "Brother Xu brought Sheng Sheng here."

Wu Yanhan looked at Xu Ming: "You don't visit a temple without a reason. Tell me, what's the matter this time?"

"You can't say that." Xu Ming walked forward with a smile, "Can't I just want to chat with you without anything to do?"

Wu Yanhan rolled her eyes at Xu Ming, as if to say: "I won't believe your nonsense."

Xu Ming pretended not to see Wu Yanhan's contempt and changed the subject: "I thought you were practicing boxing, but I didn't expect you to be reading."

Wu Yanhan: "You are a martial artist and also won the top prize in the imperial examination, what's wrong with me reading for a while? Besides, do you think being a princess is so easy?"

"Indeed." Xu Ming nodded, "Being a princess is indeed not easy."

"Hmph." Wu Yanhan snorted coldly, took Shen Sheng's little hand, and walked in one direction, "Come with me."

"Where to?" Xu Ming asked doubtfully.

"Where else could we go."

Wu Yanhan was a little speechless.

"You came here just to tell me that you are about to break through and want me to find you a good place, right? I'm taking you there now."

Xu Ming smiled: "I didn't expect you to know me so well."

"But you don't know me." Wu Yanhan turned around and muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Xu Ming didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing!"

Wu Yanhan picked up the book on the table and threw it at Xu Ming.
