Free Web NovelChapter 1204: Chapter 1204: I Wasn’t Messing Around
"I’m not being reckless!" Jiang Xue looked earnestly at Mu Qiancheng and said, "I’ve come here, first to be concerned about you, and second, to do my part for the people in the disaster area."
Mu Qiancheng looked at Jiang Xue in silence. He knew in his heart that Jiang Xue had come because of him. As for what she could do for the disaster area, he thought to himself, with Jiang Xue’s thin arms and legs, what could she really accomplish?
"Sister-in-law, how did you get here?" Gong Bei noticed some tension between the two and immediately spoke up.
"I walked over." As soon as Jiang Xue finished speaking, Mu Qiancheng’s expression changed. He looked at her and asked, "Xue’er, wasn’t there a landslide over there? How did you walk over?"
"Just walked over like that." Jiang Xue replied and then lifted her foot slightly. Only then did Mu Qiancheng notice that Jiang Xue’s shoes were covered in wet mud.
At this moment, Gong Bei also saw Jiang Xue’s feet and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Oh my, sister-in-law, your shoes are all soaked like this. They must be uncomfortable to wear."
"It’s not too bad!" Jiang Xue said lightly. Her shoes were wet and muddy, how could it not be uncomfortable? But there was no choice; she didn’t dare enter the space to change shoes and could only wear them for now.
"Did you bring a spare pair of shoes?" Mu Qiancheng asked. After he asked, he noticed that Jiang Xue only had a small bundle with her and nothing else.
Seeing her small bundle, Mu Qiancheng’s eyes flickered. He knew Jiang Xue must have put things in the space, and this small bundle was just a blinding technique.
"I did, but it’s no use changing them now." Jiang Xue finished speaking and winked at Mu Qiancheng. He immediately understood what she meant.
Sure enough, his guess was correct; Jiang Xue had put things in the space. However, she couldn’t go in now, so she hadn’t taken them out.
But thinking about how Jiang Xue didn’t know how long she’d have to wear those wet shoes, Mu Qiancheng felt a bit uncomfortable.
If Gong Bei weren’t here now, Jiang Xue might have been able to enter the space and change her shoes.
Thinking of this, Mu Qiancheng glanced at Gong Bei, then said, "Xue’er, we now need to clear the road, so we can’t send you back. Will you wait here, or do you want to go on your own?"
"Qiancheng, go ahead and do your work. Don’t worry about me." Jiang Xue smiled and said. She had come to help, not be a burden. Now that Mu Qiancheng had a task, she certainly wouldn’t stop him.
Besides, being here alone wouldn’t be dangerous for her. Moreover, wearing these shoes was really uncomfortable, and she was eager to change them.
"What will you do?" Mu Qiancheng looked worried. Although Jiang Xue was capable, he was still concerned. The weather here was bad, and with continuous rain, even though Jiang Xue had an umbrella, her clothes were a bit wet.
"It’s okay, I’ll just wait for you guys nearby." Jiang Xue was unconcerned. As long as Mu Qiancheng was safe, it didn’t matter if she waited here for a while.
Besides, she could always go into the space.
Of course, she needed to find a place without people to enter; otherwise, if seen, she might be considered a monster.
"Alright then, be careful, and I’ll come find you when I’m done. By then, you can come with me." Although Mu Qiancheng was worried about Jiang Xue, he had his duty and couldn’t waste too much time here.
"Got it." Jiang Xue nodded and waved at Mu Qiancheng, signaling him to go on ahead.
