[Quick Transmigration] Where is the Morality Chapter 166
Shameless Martial Uncle! Chapter 8 Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
The next morning, after Xing Shaoyan delivered the medicinal food to Xia Ruyan, he hurriedly left without overseeing her. As soon as he left, Xia Ruyan immediately discarded the medicinal food and only drank the medicine provided by Xuan Yue. Although it was bitter, the taste subsided after a while. Unlike Xing Shaoyan’s medicinal food, she felt like she was eating sh*t every time she ate it.
Xing Shaoyan didn’t return until the afternoon. During that time, Xia Ruyan managed to avoid her noon medicinal meal, which made her very happy. She wished he would never come back.
When he returned, Xing Shaoyan appeared to be in good spirits. He encountered Luo Yuhan at the door and greeted him warmly. Without knocking, he simply pushed the door open and entered. Xia Ruyan felt too powerless to complain about his uninvited entrance and glanced at him lightly, too lazy to utter a word.
“Girl! I rented a yard for us. Now you can come with me. From now on, we’ll stay there to recover from your injuries and wait for you to feel better before heading out on the road.” Xing Shaoyan was quite excited, and after speaking, he stepped forward to hug Xia Ruyan.
“What? We’re not staying in the inn anymore?” Xia Ruyan asked in surprise.
“Yeah, the old inn is inconvenient for everything. You see, I have to borrow the kitchen to make medicinal food for you, which is too troublesome. We can stay outside and eat whatever you want; it’s much more convenient than the inn.”
As for the taste of the medicinal food you cook, you can eat whatever you want. I’m afraid it’s more convenient to torture me if we want to move out? Xia Ruyan slandered secretly with an expression of dissatisfaction on her face. Seeing that she seemed reluctant, Xing Shaoyan persuaded her in a good tone: “The inn is noisy with people coming and going. It’s not helpful for your recovery. Let’s move out so it can be quieter, and you can heal quickly and set off as soon as possible.”
What he said was quite reasonable. Xia Ruyan really couldn’t find a reason to refuse the move, so she reluctantly agreed: “Well... okay. Martial uncle, allow me to go and say something to young master Luo.”
“Okay, don’t move. I’ll carry you.”
Seeing Xia Ruyan attempt to get off the bed, Xing Shaoyan reached out and picked her up. The little girl was light as a feather, almost like carrying a chick. He strode outside, and Xia Ruyan quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.
They were so close that they could feel each other’s breath. Xia Ruyan turned her face away, feeling uncomfortable, while Xing Shaoyan’s ears also quietly began to turn red uncontrollably. His throat rolled a few times, and his mouth muttered: “Why are you girl so light? It must be because you don’t eat enough. Once we move out, this martial uncle will show off his skills and get you to put on some weight.”
Xia Ruyan didn’t think she was too thin. She believed she was slim and well-proportioned; she just happened to be a bit smaller. Being overly heavy wasn’t ideal for a girl. She skimmed her lips and said: “How can I not eat well? I think I’m fine as I am, so I won’t trouble you, martial uncle.”
“What do you know? Girls should have a bit more flesh and be more pleasant to look at. Martial uncle tells you that most men prefer women with some curves...”
Xia Ruyan thought she couldn’t engage with him on this. As soon as he picked it up, he started to ramble endlessly. She replied coolly: “Why should it matter to me whether a man likes me or not? I don’t exist in this world just to make a man like me.”
When she said this, she immediately silenced Xing Shaoyan. He groaned twice, felt that her point was reasonable, then muttered: “I didn’t mean that... I was just thinking about your health...”
Xia Ruyan ignored him. They had already reached the door of Luo Yuhan’s room. She knocked on the door, but no one answered. Xing Shaoyan suddenly said: “I ran into the kid at the door when I came back. He probably went out.”
Xia Ruyan felt a little regretful to hear that Luo Yuhan had gone out. She still wanted to say goodbye to him personally, and it would be two months before they’d see each other again.
Seeing the little girl’s expression, Xing Shaoyan felt sour in his heart. She had only known him for a few days, and she couldn’t bear to part. They had grown up together in the sect. How could she put on a disliked face at the sight of him?
“Miss Xia, elder, do you have something to discuss with my young master?”
Xia Ruyan turned around upon hearing the question. It was Xuan Yue. She hurriedly asked: “Yes, did young master Luo go out? When is he coming back?”
“The young master might not return until the evening. Miss Xia can let me know if she needs anything.”
“Well... My martial uncle rented a place, so we won’t be staying at the inn anymore. I can’t repay young master Luo’s kindness, but if there’s ever a way I can be of use to him in the future, please find me. Oh, by the way, martial uncle, where is the yard you rented?”
Seeing the martial niece ask him, Xing Shaoyan mentioned the place’s name without thinking; then he felt wrong when he said it. Why did she bring this up in front of the other servant? Sure enough, Xia Ruyan told Xuan Yue: “My martial uncle and I will be temporarily staying there. Your young master is welcome to visit. If you need anything, just come to me.”
Xuan Yue hurriedly replied. After Xia Ruyan said goodbye to him once more, Xing Shaoyan carried her out of the inn. She glanced at him and noticed his uneasy expression. She was too lazy to care. Instead, she leaned against the man’s chest, watching the scenery on the street. Xing Shaoyan couldn’t help himself; seeing that she remained silent, he finally said in a rough voice: “Martial uncle told you that the kid looks indecent. Why did you invite him to the door?”
“Indecent, but to your martial niece, he is my savior. Our children of Jianghu hold both gratitude and vengeance. I cannot do anything that would cause me to turn my back and deny someone.”
Her words carried a hint of innuendo. How could Xing Shaoyan take this? He glared at her and replied, “That’s not what I meant. I just want you to be cautious; it’s not that I don’t want you to recognize this benefactor...”
“Martial niece understands...” Xia Ruyan casually agreed. Suddenly, she noticed someone selling sugar cakes on the street and patted Xing Shaoyan’s chest: “Martial uncle, let’s go over there. I want to buy some sugar cakes.”
“What’s so delicious about sugar cakes? You little girls love these kinds of non-nutritive treats.”
Xing Shaoyan said this, yet he walked over with her in his arms. While waiting for the vendor to pack the sugar cakes, Xia Ruyan hadn’t paid, yet, but Xing Shaoyan had already pulled a copper coin from his Qiankun bag and tossed it over.
“Thank you, martial uncle.”
Xia Ruyan hugged the paper bag filled with sugar cakes and thanked Xing Shaoyan. He hummed in response: “Hold on tight.”
The moment he spoke, he rose from the spot and soared like a gust of wind. Xia Ruyan quickly clutched his shirt. She felt as if the scenery around her rushed backward quickly, like speeding down the highway.
Xing Shaoyan’s qinggong was remarkable. He arrived at their destination in an instant. His footsteps ceased, and he showed no signs of having exerted himself. He kicked the door open and walked in with the girl still in his arms.
