Chapter 376: Chapter 376. My Luck Has Always Been Good
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Qing thought of the wolf den she had just seen. The wolves must have found out that she had entered their territory and come to surround her.
Su Qing did not have a weapon in her hand. She only had a torch, but it was enough for her.
The wolves saw that Su Qing was unafraid and wanted to deal with them. He let out a threatening howl at her.
Ji Shuisheng lost track of Su Qing when he reached this area. Just as he was worried about not being able to find her, he heard the wolf’s howl and guessed that Su Qing had encountered a pack of wolves. He quickly ran in the direction of the wolf’s howl.
By the time he arrived, Su Qing had already used the torch to knock the two wolves away. The wolves somersaulted in the air and flew towards Ji Shuisheng. Ji Shuisheng raised Su Qing’s three-edged dagger and pierced the two wolves’ hearts as he pierced through candied haws.
Su Qing saw the alpha wolf charging at her with a smile and shouted at Ji Shuisheng, “Catch it.”
“Haha,” he said, “I’m good.”
Su Qing amused Ji Shuisheng. He raised his weapon and pierced the wolf with candied haws. He didn’t forget to tease Su Qing. “The husband and wife match perfectly.”
“Again.”
Seeing Ji Shuisheng teasing her, Su Qing also had a playful heart. Seeing that the remaining wolves bared their teeth to scare her but did not dare to approach her, she took the initiative to attack and flew over. When the wolves saw her falling from the sky, they let out a fierce roar and pounced on her.
The wolf claws were sharp blades, and when they were scratched, there were two deep wounds. It was pretty dangerous for so many wolves to attack Su Qing together. Ji Shuisheng did not dare to play around anymore. He raised his three-edged spear and came over to help Su Qing.
She flew up into the air and executed a beautiful series of kicks. The few poor old wolves that were protecting their homes and territories were kicked by Su Qing towards Ji Shuisheng’s three-edged spear. Ji Shuisheng’s Yang family spear technique pierced through the hearts of these wolves, and their corpses fell to the ground.
“Not bad.”
Su Qing stood in the wind, her clothes fluttering in the wind. With her hands behind her back, she looked at her man with a smile in her beautiful eyes, not stingy with her praise.
“Your leg technique is even better.”
Ji Shuisheng threw the wild wolf stuck in the spearhead to the ground and carried the spear behind his back. He looked at Su Qing lovingly with his dark, starry eyes. Su Qing’s spinning and kicking skills in the air were too incredible, and he was deeply fascinated.
“Do you want to learn? I’ll teach you for free.”
Su Qing teased him mischievously. When alone with Ji Shuisheng, she was very relaxed and looked a little like a girl.
“Alright, teach me!”
Ji Shuisheng had already walked in front of Su Qing. He threw away the spear and pulled her into his arms. He liked the fragrance on Su Qing’s body. It could calm one’s impetuous heart. It was blissful to hug her like this and not do anything.
Moreover, there was no one around, so why not do it?
Ji Shuisheng looked at the woman in his arms. She had dark eyebrows and bright eyes. Her face was like peach blossoms, her red lips were like fire, and her eyes were rippling. Her slightly parted red lips seemed to be issuing a silent invitation to him. Her clear eyes seemed to be looking at him with many tender smiles.
Ji Shuisheng smiled and said, “You’re so beautiful.”
His voice was low and hoa.r.s.e, drifting into Su Qing’s ears like a spring breeze. The heat from his body was like the sun burning Su Qing, dyeing her face as red as the sunset, making her even more charming under the moonlight.
How could Ji Shuisheng still restrain himself? He lowered his head and gently kissed Su Qing on her forehead, finally kissing the source of sweetness.
The owl on the tree next to them had been watching for a long time. The two people under the tree had not separated yet. When the owl was tired of watching, it closed one eye and continued to watch.
Ji Shuisheng buried his face in Su Qing’s neck. He could feel the blood vessels throbbing under her smooth skin. The real Su Qing was in his arms. There was no coldness, only tenderness.
Her clear eyes were filled with charm as she looked at him.
“Su Qing, marry me. Don’t worry about your fiance. One year is too long.”
Ji Shuisheng held Su Qing in his arms and whispered into her ear. He sounded aggrieved, 80% loving, and slightly afraid of rejection.
“My father is a man of his word. He wants to give the other party an explanation.”
Su Qing accepted Ji Shuisheng, but she disagreed. A year was not long, and a marriage contract could not restrain her.
“You haven’t settled your problem yet. Let’s agree on a year. We won’t look for them if we can’t find them.”
Su Qing frowned when she thought of Ji Shuisheng’s fiancee. It would be disgusting if she appeared again after he and Shuisheng married.

Ji Shuisheng didn’t say anything. He looked at Su Qing for a long time before reluctantly agreeing,
“Alright, one year, one year it is.”
The two of them lingered for a long time before they finally remembered Qu Da and Xiaoying, still waiting for them to return.
Only then did Su Qing remember the things in the cave. She said to Ji Shuisheng,
“Shuisheng, I found food, gold, silver, and jewellery in the cave. Let’s go back and call Qu Da and the others over to help move them.”
“… You’re fortunate.”
Ji Shuisheng glanced at the pitch-black cave. Even storytellers couldn’t be so coincidental, right?
He could only sigh at how lucky Su Qing was!
“Yeah, I’ve always been lucky.”
Su Qing tucked her messy hair behind her ears and replied proudly.
How could it not be good? The food was extorted from the system, the gold, silver, and jewellery were plundered from the empress, and the kitchenware was robbed from Jiren Medicine Hall. All of them were traded without capital.
Ji Shuisheng returned to call for help, and Su Qing returned with him. She did not care about the hard work of carrying things and went back to cooking to improve her cooking skills.
Ji Shuisheng brought Qu Da and the others to move the grain. When they saw the wheat, everyone was as happy as if it was the new year.
He had eaten brown rice and lost his appet.i.te. After grinding the wheat, it turned into white flour. Finally, he could eat white flour.
“Shuisheng, it seems someone has lived here before, but there are no signs of fire.”
More than 20 torches lit up the cave. Qu Da squatted in front of the kitchen utensils and studied them.
If they had cooked, the cave would have been blackened, but he didn’t find any darkened places.
If he hadn’t cooked with fire before, what was the point of all these pots, pans, and all sorts of seasonings? Could it be that the cave’s owner was preparing to move over, but for some reason, he didn’t?
“Yeah, I thought it was strange too. This wheat looks like the new wheat from back then, proving that the cave owner shipped the grain over not long ago. I’m now worried that our mining will be discovered.”
Ji Shuisheng was studying the wheat. He worried that someone discovered the iron mine, so the cave owner returned to report it.
“It’s possible. The sound of forging is too loud. To be able to hide so much food, gold, silver, and jewellery in the cave, it must be someone from the Imperial Court or the Wan Family Army. Hearing the sound of forging, they will be suspicious. Shuisheng, quickly think of a countermeasure..”
