Chapter 259: Chapter 259: A Competent Woman

Ever since she walked the mountain path once, Qiu Chuyao’s longing for the depths of the mountains dissipated along with the blisters on her tender soles.

But this still did not affect her enthusiasm for this mountain trip.

The people of Outer World Town discovered a spring in the mountains, and the spring water was clear and sweet.

The owner of the tavern said this water was even better than what he used at Chentang Pass, very suitable for making wine.

Coincidentally, some people among the populace lived by growing fruit trees. In the future, they could plant some peaches and plums on the gentle slopes near the spring, make some fruit wine, and sell it to Xiqi through Nezha’s connections or send it to the army, ensuring they never had to worry about the market.

The market was there, but the road was not yet built.

Build the road, go up the mountain!

Our people have strength in abundance!

"This is going to be another big income."

Qiu Chuyao wiped the light sweat off her brow, her soles ached with a burning pain, but her mood was exceptionally good.

Ever since she came to this small world, a fiery passion had erupted from the depths of her soul, a passion she could never have imagined in her previous days.

This passion grew even stronger as she fell in love with Nezha, married him, and tightly linked herself to Nezha’s Outer World Town.

Qiu Chuyao was a little money-making expert.

One person’s strength might be weak, but as long as she had resources, she could do well.

Although she wasn’t very interested in this matter, Outer World Town was still developing, and if people wanted to live better, they needed more money.

But Qiu Chuyao was very interested in building Outer World Town.

"Uncle Gong, slow down. Last time Uncle Li’s child got his foot crushed while moving stones and can’t walk now. Building the road is important, but it can’t compare to human lives."

"You silly girl." Uncle Gong was a highly respected elder in the town, over fifty years old but still full of strength.

He wiped the sweat off his head with the towel around his neck, drank some hot soup brought from home, warming his body and his heart even more.

Uncle Gong said, "Got it, but you know, I’m happy, girl. My whole life has been about hard work. Since our family moved to Outer World Town, the fishermen are still fishing, the farmers are busy opening new lands, and I have more strength than I know what to do with. The town has a new look every day. Some time ago, my youngest son married a girl working for Mr. Fan, and the doctor said yesterday that she’s already pregnant."

After chatting for a while, Qiu Chuyao quickly ran off. Uncle Gong was a good man but too talkative.

The progress of road-building wasn’t slow, but she was really worried about safety issues.

Since ancient times, building roads always involved fatalities, but the people of Outer World Town, she would be heartbroken if even one was injured, let alone dead.

Nezha.

My Nezha.

How are you doing outside?

Are you taking care of yourself?

Do you miss me?

Qiu Chuyao knew Nezha’s abilities.

But she also knew that her "little husband" always liked to show off, so she worried most about him.

"Young Mistress, a large stone up front blew open, revealing a natural stone cave. It looks very deep." A servant came to report.

"Got it, I’ll go take a look."

Qiu Chuyao didn’t think much of it after hearing this; it was just a cave in the mountains. Could there be anything more normal than that under the sky?

At this moment, her mind was still on the rumors circulating in the town about Nezha.

These common folks, once they were full and warm, they started meddling. They even wanted to know whether there was a new addition to the household.

Some gossipy women even said that Nezha got injured in battle and couldn’t father children anymore, that the Li Family would die out after this generation!

These troublesome people, devoid of any idea how the Li Family’s extinction would benefit them.

Qiu Chuyao wasn’t worried. Last time Nezha came back, he secretly told her in bed that the big brother of the household was also a lustful ghost. Who knew how many seeds he had sown outside, so why worry about extinction.

But these were just idle thoughts.

Next time Nezha came back, she’d lock him in a room and not let him out until they had a child.

Thinking of this, Qiu Chuyao blushed.

She walked forward, her ebony hairpin bundling her black hair into a flowing cloud bun, with a lock of inky hair cascading down to her waist. Though her face still bore the naive look of a young girl, everyone who saw her would give her a thumbs up, saying that she was dignified, courteous, and adept at managing the household.

Unknowingly, her legs had carried her to the edge of the stone cave, where a bone-chilling cold rushed out, dragging her out of her fantasies.

The stone cave in the mountain looked pitch-black, the ground smooth, but showing no signs of artificial carvings. Instead, it seemed naturally formed.

But the darkness in front of her eyes induced an indescribable sense of fear.

"Young Mistress, should we send two people in to check it out?" asked a family guard standing nearby.

Qiu Chuyao took a torch from the hand of a family guard, threw it into the cave, and the torch rolled a few times on the ground without going out, but also didn’t illuminate the surrounding scenery.

Qiu Chuyao said, "Don’t act rashly."

Uncle Gong then walked over and said, "However, if this stone cave can reach the other side of the mountain, it would save at least half a year’s work. Child, this Stone Mountain is just a small one, a distance of over two hundred steps. As long as you watch your steps going in, nothing should happen."

"That’s not the point, Uncle Gong. Nezha once said that this small world was left by the Demon King, and there are many spiritual beasts hidden in the mountains. If we encounter something unfamiliar, it’s best not to investigate on our own."

Hearing Qiu Chuyao’s words, Uncle Gong’s face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "How could this be, two young men just went in earlier."

Qiu Chuyao was already used to such matters.

The town’s people might not be very clever, but they were brave. When people gather, there are always things to worry about.

She quickly calmed down and said, "Bring ropes, tie them around the waists of those going in, place torches and oil lamps on the ground, put one light every ten steps, and pull the rope to signal if something happens, so those outside can pull you out."

Two guards with swords from the family entered first.

Just as Qiu Chuyao finished instructing, she turned around and saw a familiar figure, putting her worried heart at ease again.

"Nezha, when did you come back?"

"Just now." Nezha also sensed something was wrong.

The cold in this stone cave was quite unusual, and the spiritual energy seemed denser than in other places.

Although it might not be a bad thing, it was still better to be cautious in unusual circumstances.

He gently patted the girl’s shoulder, indicating she need not worry. His face looked even paler against the darkness, his long, strong fingers reaching into the void. Instantly, a patch of golden Divine Soil spread from his feet, illuminating the scene in the cave.

"What is this?"

Zi Chen jumped out, but no one else could see her or hear her speak.

"Dragon Vein?"
