"Here I am, here I am!" Huo Wu rushed out in a flurry, her bright red ponytail flying behind her head.

Huo Wu, even after a year, still hadn't changed her impatient nature. She took three steps at a time and jumped directly onto the carriage.

"Fire Dance, what's the rush?" Shui Yue'er walked gracefully over, arm in arm with Shui Bing'er.

Dugu Yan was the last to stroll out, yawning, "You guys really have a lot of energy."

"It's all because Sister Yan went to bed late last night," Ning Rongrong complained.

Dugu Yan shook her head and said, "There was no other way; I made some poison last night."

"Enough talk, let's go, let's go!" Ning Rongrong put her arm around Dugu Yan and went straight to the carriage.

Ning Rongrong's carriage was quite luxurious, with a small bed inside. Although everyone couldn't lie down together, they could sit together.

"Rongrong, can you drive a carriage?" Xiao Ze asked.

No way.

"So, how do we get off?"

“Hahaha…No need. These four white horses are specially trained. Just give them a direction and they will set off on their own. We just need to keep an eye on them and make adjustments as needed,” Ning Rongrong said.

"That's amazing?"

“That’s right, these are hundred-year-old soul beasts, and specially trained ones at that. They’re very intelligent and very gentle.” Ning Rongrong patted the rump of one of the white horses: “Let’s go.”

The carriage started slowly, the sound of its wheels rolling over the bluestone pavement crisp and pleasant.

As the carriage drove further and further away, the morning bell on the academy's spire rang out gently.

"Rongrong, your carriage is quite stable."

“Of course, this carriage is quite valuable. Not counting the four horses outside, the carriage itself is worth tens of thousands of gold soul coins.” Ning Rongrong nodded.

"Rongrong, you really know how to enjoy life." Ye Lingling's family is also wealthy, but they don't have such an expensive carriage.

"If you have money, you should definitely enjoy it; otherwise, what's the point of having money?"

"That makes a lot of sense."

Ning Rongrong stretched out her arm: "Xiao Ze, give me a massage, and that will cover your carriage fare."

Xiao Ze chuckled.

He naturally reached out and took her wrist.

"Tired?" He chuckled softly, his fingertips gently pressing against her arm, kneading it with just the right amount of pressure.

Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "No, I just wanted you to give me a massage."

Xiao Ze didn't say anything; if he wanted a massage, then he would.

If you don't pamper your own woman, are you going to let someone else do it?

Ning Rongrong initially enjoyed it with a smile, but as his palm slowly slid down her slender arm, caressed her soft elbow, and then moved to her fair thigh, her cheeks gradually flushed red.

"What...what are you doing?" Her voice trembled involuntarily, and her eyes glistened with tears.

Xiao Ze seemed oblivious to her embarrassment, his palm pressed against the inside of her thigh, his knuckles applying slight pressure to help relieve her tense muscles.

Ning Rongrong bit her lip, her ear tips were so red they seemed to be dripping blood, and her toes involuntarily tensed up.

Xiao Ze did not stop.

His palm slowly moved up and placed on her flat, soft belly, his fingertips gently massaging it. "Rongrong, your belly seems to have gotten a little bigger."

"Nonsense...nonsense." Ning Rongrong seemed to have all her strength drained away, leaning softly against him and burying her face in his shoulder.

Xiao Ze chuckled softly, his warm breath brushing against her ear: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ning Rongrong punched him lightly in embarrassment and annoyance, her voice barely audible, "You bad boy."

Huo Wu rolled her eyes at the sight, while Shui Yue'er covered her mouth and chuckled.

Dugu Yan rested her chin on her hand and teased, "Little Rongrong, you can't even handle this?"

"Hmph~" Ning Rongrong didn't try to argue. Xiao Ze's hand seemed to have a kind of magic power. Even though she had touched it many times, she still couldn't resist it.

At first, Ning Rongrong thought it was her problem, but she found that none of the other sisters could stand it.

Ning Rongrong knew that this had nothing to do with him; it was Xiao Ze's problem.

However, Xiao Ze's technique is really good; it feels really comfortable to massage, although sometimes he takes advantage of people.

Everyone knew the truth, and they even tacitly agreed to feed Xiao Ze.

After all, people charge for massages, so what's wrong with giving Xiao Ze a bite?

Time passed day by day, and the group was traveling relatively slowly, since they had never seen this road before and had spent several days exploring it.

The carriage slowly came to a stop at the entrance of Qingxi Village, and the sound of the wheels rolling over the gravel path gradually subsided.

As Xiao Ze got out of the car, a familiar fragrance of grass and trees wafted towards him, and the old locust tree at the entrance of the village was still lush and verdant.

Everything was so familiar that Xiao Ze was momentarily stunned.

Several wooden houses are scattered in the distance, with wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys.

A stream flows gently nearby, its waters making a clear, crisp sound.

Chapter 227 Daily Life in Qingxi Village

Xiao Ze stood on the stone steps at the entrance of the village, momentarily lost in thought.

He seemed to see himself as a child, catching fish with the village children by the stream, running in the fields, and listening to the village elders tell stories under the locust tree.

"Xiao Ze." Ning Rongrong jumped down from the carriage, curiously looking around the simple little village. "Is this where you grew up?"

Xiao Ze snapped out of his daze, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face: "That's right, this is Qingxi Village, the place where I grew up."

Huo Wu looked around and said, "This place looks so ordinary."

"It's definitely ordinary, just a simple village. Our Qingxi Village is considered relatively wealthy; other villages might not even be able to afford meat," Xiao Ze said with a smile.

"Should we expand this village?" Ning Rongrong asked.

She really wanted to help Xiao Ze's village.

Xiao Ze slowly shook his head: "No need. They have their own lives. We can help them for a while, but not forever. We can just use pills to regulate their bodies. Don't give them money."

"it is good."

Shuiyue'er, in high spirits, took her sister's hand and exclaimed excitedly, "Look at that stream over there, the water is so clear!"

Zhu Zhuqing felt the tranquility of the village.

Dugu Yan came to the side and said, "So this is the village. It's such a quiet place."

"Come on, I'll take you to see the place where I lived when I was a child."

As Xiao Ze entered the village, he saw several children. He didn't recognize these children; they were probably born in the last few years.

"Brother, sister, who are you? Why have you come to our village?" a bolder child asked.

Xiao Ze squatted down and rubbed his head: "I'm from this village too."

"Really? I've never seen my brother before."

"Xiao Bao!" An older woman's heart skipped a beat when she saw Ning Rongrong and the others. Given their appearance and the clothes they wore, she thought it would be dangerous if Xiao Bao bumped into them.

Xiao Ze slowly raised his head: "Aunt Wang, it's been a long time."

Aunt Wang froze for a moment, then recognized Xiao Ze after a long pause: "Xiao Ze!! It's you, Xiao Ze!"

"You've changed so much! I remember you were so dark-skinned back then, I never expected you to be so fair now."

Ning Rongrong chuckled. She had seen Xiao Ze back then, and he was indeed very dark-skinned.

Xiao Ze was a little embarrassed: "Aunt Wang, it's not because I've been cultivating, that's why my skin has become whiter."

"It's good to become fair-skinned, it's good. What are these?" Aunt Wang asked cautiously.

"They are all my wives."

The women were delighted to hear this.

Especially Ning Rongrong, whose mouth was turned up so high that she couldn't bring herself to smile.

"All of them?!"

“Yes, all of them.” Xiao Ze nodded.

"Hey!!! Everyone come out and see! Our Xiao Ze is back, and he's brought several wives with him! Everyone come out quickly!! Old Li, Old Xu, Village Chief!!"

Aunt Wang's voice was so loud that it startled Xiao Ze.

Before long, everyone from Qingxi Village swarmed over and immediately surrounded Xiao Ze and his group.

"Holy crap! Xiao Ze, you've really changed a lot, I almost didn't recognize you."

"That's right, much more handsome."

"Xiao Ze has really made something of himself, finding so many wives."

“These ladies all have an extraordinary air about them; they are probably all from prominent families.”

"Yes, with a curvy figure, she's sure to give birth to a big, healthy boy."

Xiao Ze glanced around. He recognized many people, but also didn't recognize quite a few. Most of them were women, who seemed to have married into Qingxi Village.

Xiao Ze approached the village chief and said, "Village chief, I'd like to treat everyone to lunch today."

"This... so many people, it must have been quite a expense." The village chief's hair was turning increasingly white, but he still looked quite energetic.

“Don’t worry, village chief, Xiao Ze is rich now,” Ning Rongrong said, bending down. “Besides, I’m rich too, I can support Xiao Ze.”

"Xiao Ze, you're so lucky to have found such a wife." The village chief gave Xiao Ze a thumbs up.

"Yes, meeting them is my good fortune." Xiao Ze pinched Ning Rongrong's cheek and smiled.

"In that case, let's have lunch in the square!"

"it is good!!"

"Great, there's something delicious to eat."
