Chapter 10 Preparing to Make Money
After eating and drinking her fill, Qi Yunran finally remembered how to make money. She took out the wild ginseng she had dug up in the deep mountains and estimated it to be forty or fifty years old.

She dug very carefully, and the roots remained intact.

It should fetch a good price.

However, with her current outfit, unscrupulous merchants will definitely think she's ignorant and try to bargain her down.

There were two wild pheasants and a rabbit at night. She also dug up a lot of wild vegetables. There was still some chicken fat left, which could be used to stir-fry the wild vegetables. There were also some dried small fish left.

No need to worry about food for dinner.

So, Qi Yunran decided to tidy herself up before going to town the next day.

It takes an hour to walk from here to town, but taking an oxcart would be faster.

However, the original owner still has a reputation for being a jinx to husbands, and with her infectious tuberculosis, it's unlikely anyone will give her a ride.

She can only walk by herself, and she wouldn't feel at ease leaving Xiao Jingxuan alone at home.

It seems we still need to bring him along.

Qi Yunran sat on the only chair in the house, while Xiao Jingxuan sat on a worn-out little stool right next to her.

"Xiao Xuan'er, shall your godmother take you to town tomorrow?"

Xiao Jingxuan hesitated, feeling uneasy: "I... will go." He had never been to town before; his mother used to lock him at home whenever she went to town.

Qi Yunran noticed that Xiao Xuan'er was a little scared, and said in a reassuring tone, "Xiao Xuan'er, your godmother can protect you, so you don't need to be afraid. No one outside can hurt you."

After speaking, fearing that Xiao Jingxuan wouldn't believe him, he got up and performed a set of Tai Chi movements. The movements were both soft and strong, graceful and elegant.

Xiao Jingxuan immediately stared at Qi Yunran with admiration: "Godmother, you're so amazing! Godmother is the most beautiful."

"Little Xuan'er is so good at talking, godmother likes her. You can tell godmother more of these honest things in the future." Every woman loves to look good, right?
She wasn't exactly won over by Xiao Xuan'er's words; she simply felt that the sweet-talking and kind-hearted Xiao Xuan'er was like her closest confidante.

He hugged Xiao Xuan'er and kissed him passionately, leaving his face covered in drool.

Xiao Jingxuan lowered her head shyly, her face turning red from her neck to the tips of her ears.

Although he was used to his godmother's affection, he still felt shy after she praised him directly.

"Then can godmother teach Xiao Xuan kung fu in the future?" Qi Yunran was a little surprised. She had planned to teach Xiao Jingxuan after he recovered, otherwise his body would not be able to handle it.

Unexpectedly, he and she had the same idea.

"Yes...of course!"

Xiao Jingxuan immediately looked up, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Qi Yunran: "Godmother, I will definitely study hard and protect you when I grow up."

Qi Yunran felt a warmth in her heart after hearing this.

This is the first person in her life to say they would protect her.

My former master used to say, "If you can't learn my skills, don't call yourself my apprentice. I'll be ashamed of you."

Thinking of that wicked old man, she hated him so much back then, always hoping that one day he would go from being sarcastic to being mute, suffocating him.

Now, thinking back, she finds the old man rather endearing, and she even misses him a little.

"Godmother, what's wrong?" Xiao Jingxuan was worried when he saw Qi Yunran's sudden sadness.

"It's nothing, it's just that from now on, Xiao Xuan'er will be my only family. Will Xiao Xuan'er look down on me when he grows up?"

"Of course not, I will always be filial to my godmother." Her tone was firm, and her eyes were filled with solemnity, as if she were making a vow.

Qi Yunran was deeply moved. She realized that she had been moved by Xiao Xuan'er countless times since she transmigrated.

"Xiao Xuan'er, if you want to learn martial arts, you must first get well. It will be much easier to learn once you're healthy!"

"So, does that mean I can't learn it now?" Xiao Jingxuan asked, somewhat disappointed.

“My godmother won’t grow old all at once, and even if you want to protect me, you have plenty of time. So you don’t need to be unhappy about it.”

Qi Yunran, unable to bear seeing Xiao Jingxuan disappointed, added.

"I hope Xiao Jingxuan will always be healthy and happy, so, sweetie! Let's get well first before we start studying."
