Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

The night is falling, the stars are twinkling, and a bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting its silver light on the earth.

An exquisite carriage slowly traveled along the forest path. Its wheels crushed the fallen leaves on the ground, making a slight and crisp sound, like an ancient piece of music. The occasional chirping of night birds in the distance added a bit of quietness and mystery to the atmosphere.

Inside the car, the candlelight flickered, and the faint light illuminated the small space.

"Miss, why do I feel that Xiaobai hasn't grown at all? He is still the same as at the beginning, very small." Xiaolu said softly, and her tone revealed her unchanging love for Xiaobai.

Murong Zixi turned her head slightly and her eyes fell gently on Xiaobai, who was lying quietly beside her legs with his eyes closed, seemingly sleeping soundly.

Murong Zixi gently stroked its soft fur, then turned her gaze to the scenery outside the car window that was gently caressed by the moonlight, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Maybe Xiaobai is like this, he will never grow up." Her voice was as soft as the breeze, with a hint of doting.

"Ah?" Xiaolu opened his mouth in surprise and stared at Xiaobai curiously, his eyes full of confusion.

Xiao Cui asked, "Miss, where are we going?" There was a hint of anticipation and curiosity in her voice.

"Our trip," Murong Zixi changed the subject, her eyes flickering with a desire for the unknown world, "is just like this endless night sky. Wherever the stars are shining, that is our direction. There is no need to plan deliberately, just follow your heart and you will have the real fun. Life is a rare opportunity, so walk around and see different scenery."

As Murong Zixi finished her words, the car fell into a brief silence, leaving only the sound of the carriage moving and the occasional sound of wind chimes, which were crisp and pleasant, adding a bit of liveliness and interest to this quiet night.

Yu Da drove the quaint carriage slowly along the winding path. The sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground was particularly clear in the silent night.

Murong Zixi leaned back in the car and closed her eyes to rest.

After a night of traveling, until the sky began to turn pale, the carriage finally stopped slowly on the side of a deserted road.

Yu Er and a few others also got off their horses. They stretched their bodies, led the horses to the woods to graze, and then shuttled through the woods. After a while, they brought back a bundle of dry firewood and started a warm fire.

Xiaolu and Xiaocui were wearing elegant clothes and were busy working at the simple stove with their heads down.

They cooked the porridge carefully; the aroma of rice and the smell of firewood smoke intertwined together, bringing a touch of warmth to this early morning.

Murong Zixi gently lifted the car curtain, stretched, and then slowly got out of the car.

After seeing this, Yu Da hurried forward, with a tone of caution and worry in his voice: "Master, the road ahead leads to Peihu County, and on the left is the notorious Yuhua Mountain. Bandits are rampant there, and all the merchants passing by are terrified and terrified. Due to the dangerous terrain, even the government can do nothing about these bandits. Previously, the War King had planned to go and wipe out these bandits, but because of the tense border war, he was unable to go. If we go to Peihu County, I'm afraid it will alert the secret guards there."

Upon hearing this, Murong Zixi curled up the corners of her mouth into a faint smile, and a determined light flashed in her eyes.

She said softly: "In that case, let's go directly to Yuhua Mountain. If we encounter bandits on the way who dare to stop us, I will do a good deed and get rid of this harm to the people!" After that, her eyes became sharp, as if she was ready for battle.

Murong Zixi turned to look at Yu Da and the others, her tone softened, and she asked with concern: "Yu Da, you worked hard last night. Eat something later, then go and rest for a while to recover your strength, and then we will continue on our journey."

Yu Da hurriedly bowed, "Thank you for your concern, my lord. I am fine, please rest assured."

At this time, the porridge was ready. Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu carefully brought out a few bowls of steaming porridge, and paired them with some simple pickles and pastries.

Everyone sat together and started to enjoy breakfast.

Yu Si said: "Master, I am fine, let me give you acupuncture."

Murong Zixi shook her head and refused: "No, I can give you acupuncture myself. You guys go and rest."

Yu Si suggested again: "Then I will go and make medicine for the master."

However, before Murong Zixi could respond, Xiaolu stepped forward and said, "Sister Yu Si, go and have a rest. Let Xiaocui and I take care of the medicine."

Seeing this, Yu Si no longer insisted. He and four others including Yu Da jumped onto the treetop, closed their eyes and rested.

Xiaolu looked up at the four people resting on the tree, with envy and self-blame on her face: "Miss, Master Yu and the others are really amazing! Xiaocui and I can only do some trivial things, I am afraid we will become a burden to you."

Murong Zixi raised her eyebrows slightly and said teasingly, "It's good that you know, so why did you come along?"

Hearing this, Xiaolu's brows immediately wrinkled into a ball, and she said with a face full of grievance: "Ah? Miss..."

Murong Zixi smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and gently patted Xiaolu's shoulder: "Okay, I was just joking. Since you chose to follow me, don't say such discouraging words. In fact, everyone has their own shining points. You are also very good. For example, you got up so early this morning to cook porridge for everyone so that everyone could have a full stomach. This is your advantage."

After saying that, Murong Zixi turned around and walked into the carriage, and started to give herself acupuncture alone.

Inside the carriage, the silver needles pierced her skin, emitting a faint light, illuminating her determined and focused face.

Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu looked at each other, then walked to the campfire tacitly and sat down, silently making medicine for the eldest lady.
