"Are you awake?"

"Ah, Childe...... Well, the lord ......"

"Just call me son." Xu Huabiao gently flicked Pei Xiuzhi's hair hanging in front of his face a little casually, "You...... Feeling okay? ”

"Okay...... It's just ......" The smile on Bae Suzhi's face looked a little reluctant.

“…… The source of strength has not changed? Xu Huabiao reacted.

Reasoning, the source of power, awakens, is to sleep lazy! I woke up quite early, and Pei Xiuzhi actually woke up earlier than himself......

"Hmm." Bae Xiuzhi nodded.

A depressed face.

"Don't be in a hurry, maybe...... Well, there are some reasons I don't know......" Xu Huabiao's expression was a little embarrassed.

"Hmm." Pei Xiuzhi replied very distractedly, obviously, thinking about something else.

Xu Huabiao suddenly didn't know what else he could say.

I wanted to recall last night's warmth, but now I'm not interested at all.

"My lord, since you have risen, let's go on our way."

Bae so-chi got up from the marching bed.

“…… Well. ”

Xu Huabiao didn't know what to say, so he could only get up a little abruptly.

Get dressed, pack your tent, get on your horse, and continue your journey towards Luoyang.

Throughout the day, neither of them spoke.

Xu Huabiao has been secretly looking at Pei Xiuzhi's eyes.

It's just that Pei Xiuzhi doesn't have any eyes.

Even, the face is expressionless.

Even the white horse under her crotch felt the mood of her master, and she had been a little irritable along the way, and she didn't want to enter the living.

Several times Xu Huabiao wanted to drive his horse over to talk, but Pei Xiuzhi's horse drove him away.

But although they were stuffy, neither of them spoke, but the speed of movement was not fast at all.

Bae Su-chi's horse is moving forward almost at the speed of a walk.

It's almost the same as the speed at which a person walks on his feet.

But it's not easy.

Xu Huabiao remembered his performance last night, he worked so hard, but he couldn't see it in Pei Xiuzhi's body at all......

Sure enough, she is a girl who is just facing many people who have awakened the source of power by relying on her physical body alone!

In this way, after walking less than twenty miles in a day, it was time for the two to set up camp again.

Still, quiet, set up camp and light a bonfire.

"Why don't I set up your tent for you?"

Xu Huabiao watched Pei Xiuzhi go to pick up branches and come back to light the fire when he was camping, and said a little embarrassed.

“…… I'll look at the lord when I'm done...... Well, you don't seem to be very embarrassed, Childe? ”

“…… Yes? ”

"Last night...... Childe, you should be very happy, right? ”

“……”

"Then since you don't feel embarrassed, Childe, you can help me again, it's nothing, right?"

"Go ahead...... Help? ”

"Well, maybe it won't work once, maybe a few more tries will do?"

“…… But I looked at you last night...... It's hard to feel like it. Xu Huabiao finally said what he had been holding back for a day.

It's not pain or anything, it's just ......

How to say it, seeing Pei Xiuzhi's uncomfortable expression yesterday, Xu Huabiao thought that there was something wrong with his aiming system.

"Awakening for the Source of Strength...... It doesn't hurt, I can bear it. ”

"It's not a key ......," Xu Huabiao didn't know where to start complaining for a moment.

He felt like he had been hurt by ten thousand points.

I did it so seriously yesterday, but people ...... That's not right! Obviously, I didn't think she was very ...... yesterday

Ahem, pay attention to the scale.

"Childe, I'm bothering you today." Pei Xiuzhi bowed deeply to Xu Huabiao.

“…… I know. Xu Huabiao endured the tightness in his chest and nodded.

"I'm sorry, Childe."

"If you really feel sorry for me, can you please give me a reaction, I was alone last night, it was very hard."

“…… React? What reaction? ”

"Don't hold back...... Ahem, I'll teach you slowly in a while. ”

“…… Oh. ”

……

In the blink of an eye, half a month later.

It's another day's journey, and it's time to rest in the evening.

In the past half a month, Xu Huabiao and Pei Xiuzhi have walked very slowly.

Pei Xiuzhi is taking the road from Guandu to Luoyang as her last chance to awaken the source of her strength, naturally, she has to go slower, slower.

If it weren't for the fear of being caught up by the large army behind him, and then he would be laughed at by a group of people, it is estimated that Pei Xiuzhi would have walked ten miles every day......

It's just that her patience and waiting didn't have any effect.

In the past half a month, Xu Huabiao has been working hard every day to do something.

also piggybacked on teaching Pei Xiuzhi some things that she didn't actually need to learn...... Ahem, well, it was Xu Huabiao who taught her a song.

However, the source of power has not yet awakened.

"Do you want to continue today?"

Sitting in front of the tent, he was still facing the fire, just like what Xu Huabiao would ask every night in the past half a month, and today is no exception.

"Go on. Otherwise, do you have any other arrangements for the evening? Bae Suzhi's voice sounded a little hollow.

The eyes, in fact, are more hollow.

Looking at the bonfire, Xu Huabiao felt a little palpitating.

"I think it's possible...... Is it because you think about the source of awakening power every time, and you don't put any effort into what we're doing, so it fails? Xu Huabiao worked hard to find technical topics.

“…… Is there such a statement? Before, Childe, you helped people awaken the source of power, did you also want to forget about the incident itself? Pei Xiuzhi doesn't seem to believe Xu Huabiao's statement very much.

"I don't know! I've only helped An Xiyan awaken ......"

"Isn't Song Jihyo too?"

"She was in an accident!"

“…… But...... Childe, how did you know that when I was there, I was still thinking about the source of power? ”

"Isn't it?"

"It was true that the previous few days, but the last two days have ......," Bae Xiuzhi's words were broken.

Be quiet.

"Are you serious?" Xu Huabiao looked strange.

"Hmm." Pei Xiuzhi's face was slightly red, "Son, you are not annoying...... I ......"

“……”

Xu Huabiao suddenly felt a faint sense of pride.

Although she and Zhou Jieqiong actually had sex before, Zhou Jieqiong had already married her because of the order of the Son of Heaven, and there was a prerequisite.

Bae Xiuzhi doesn't have this ......

It seems that my efforts have not been in vain!

But......

"But why do I feel like you still don't have ...... Well, it's my problem, I'll try a little bit more tonight. ”

"Huh? Nothing? ”

"This ...... Ahem, well, I'll try a little harder tonight. ”

“……”

"Don't worry, it's not a strange thing, you just have to ...... Well, you'll know when the time comes. Xu Huabiao had an excited expression on his face.

"Childe, why are you weird...... Pei Xiuzhi looked at Xu Huabiao's face, a little worried.

Xu Huabiao's smile was indeed a bit lewd.

"Ahh It's nothing...... Well, let's take an early break today, shall we? ”

"Early?"

"Well, tonight, it could be longer...... I'll try to, though. Xu Huabiao took a deep breath.

"Oh." Bae Xiuzhi nodded.
