Chapter 136: Woof Woof Woof
The next morning, the mountain forest was shrouded in mist.
Jiang Huai got up early and prepared breakfast, which was pork bone soup noodles today.
Chu Xianning was still dressed in a white Taoist robe today, her hair pinned up with a wooden hairpin.
After breakfast, Jiang Huai started the furnace to refine the medicinal pills Wen Fufu would need for the next month, as well as the medicinal liquid required for her massages. It wasn’t long before Wen Wanwan also arrived in the courtyard, seeking Chu Xianning for sword practice.
Initially, Jiang Huai had only asked Chu Xianning to teach her in his absence, but now that he was back, Chu Xianning was still willing to continue instructing Wen Wanwan. During the leisure time of alchemy, he would sit in the courtyard, basking in the sun, watching the two women’s graceful sword dance, feeling the warm sunshine on his skin.
The season had entered summer when the Junior Sisters and Senior Sisters in the sect would wear light and thin dresses. Jiang Huai used to enjoy sitting in the sect’s main hall with nothing particular to do, watching the Junior Sisters and Senior Sisters walk by in their beautiful dresses, which provided him with plenty of material for the costumes in his plays.
After finishing her sword practice, Wen Wanwan returned from the bathhouse wearing a white spring dress with a hem edged in pink gauze, which softened her demeanor significantly.
The peach blossoms in the courtyard had already fallen, and Jiang Huai looked at the peaches growing on the trees, figuring they would taste just right if picked in a couple of days. Wen Wanwan joined them for lunch in the courtyard, and Jiang Huai set aside Wen Fufu’s portion in a food box. After lunch, Wen Wanwan took the food box and left first, leaving Jiang Huai and Chu Xianning in the courtyard.
Time in the courtyard was always quiet. Chu Xianning sat in front of a chessboard, her hands holding the pieces, while Jiang Huai sat opposite her. He had just tried to quietly move a chess piece on the board while Chu Xianning was distracted, but the next second, she glanced at him with a slight lift of her eyes, and Jiang Huai silently put the piece back.
“Little dog,” Chu Xianning said indifferently.
Jiang Huai didn’t blush at all; after all, his thick-skinned nature wasn’t just for a day or two.
