Chapter 1190: Her Superpower
Editor: Henyee Translations
The pot’s bottom was divided into a two-taste duck pot, with one side spicy and the other mild.
The non-spicy side contained wild mushrooms, half a chicken, half a tube of bones, and a dash of wolfberry and two dates. The resulting thick and milky-white soup served as the delectable base for the hot pot.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan set off together, with Songs.h.i.+ having rented the finest wagon for them. The wagon was well-insulated and covered with a thick carpet. In one corner, a stove with a cover was cleverly fixed, emanating a warm glow from the burning red coals.
Their destination was Pinggu, an area with advanced mountains and dense forests, offering picturesque scenery and abundant prey.
The official road was bustling with activity during this time of the year. Moreover, the suburban road, being under supervision, remained easily pa.s.sable despite the snowfall.
The wagon was nimble and the horse swift, swiftly carrying them away from the capital. Gradually, the number of pedestrians decreased, and they found themselves surrounded by snow-white mountains and verdant trees, creating a beautiful and serene landscape.
Qiao Xuan frequently lifted the curtain to admire the scenery outside, lavis.h.i.+ng praise on the breathtaking sights.
Shao Yunduan had never witnessed such a breathtaking scene before, leaving him utterly fascinated by it.
After approximately half an hour, the couple asked Songs.h.i.+ to stop the wagon, and they disembarked to venture into the nearby mountains, leaving him behind to tend to the coals and keep warm inside.
Songs.h.i.+ didn’t dare to follow and simply nodded with a smile as he watched them go before retreating into the cozy wagon.
Indeed, the wagon provided ample warmth. Even with a hand stove in his arms and donning fur clothing and a hat, he still felt a slight chill after the prolonged journey in the snow. Resting in the wagon was a welcome respite.
With no other pedestrians in the mountains during such weather, the couple aided each other as they trekked onward. Qiao Xuan’s excitement and delight rendered her impervious to the cold, thoroughly enjoying the enchanting scenery up close.
Amid the heavy snowfall, the world transformed into a dreamlike and exquisite spectacle.
So enamored with the picturesque views, they nearly reached the middle of the mountain.
Qiao Xuan’s deerskin boots and cloak proved indispensable in tolerating the cold.
Using her superpower, Qiao Xuan searched for any wild roosters or rabbits s.h.i.+vering in the cold. Catching them amidst the snow was a straightforward task. Guided by her abilities, they successfully captured three wild rabbits and five wild roosters—a bountiful harvest!
“Fantastic! Tonight, we’ll have an abundant feast!”
Qiao Xuan’s face lit up with a bright smile as she held the wild rooster in her hands.
Shao Yunduan was genuinely surprised, and he couldn’t help but smile too. “Those roosters and rabbits are truly clueless. How did they end up like this?”
Qiao Xuan playfully blinked and replied with a grin, “Indeed, we got lucky!”
However, she knew that it wasn’t merely luck at play.
Her superpower was more than just a display. If the roosters and rabbits had tried to escape, she could have easily used her abilities to ensnare them with long vines or gra.s.s leaves, making escape impossible. Of course, they had no choice but to wait obediently.
The heavy snowfall provided her with the perfect opportunity to use her powers. Under normal circ.u.mstances, she wouldn’t dare to employ such tactics on regular roosters and rabbits, as they wouldn’t be caught in the vines and gra.s.s for no reason. So, it was her powers that led her to discover them in the first place.
They were thrilled about the bountiful catch. Back when Qi was with them, wild animals were abundant, and they were accustomed to eating such delicacies. But now, such opportunities were rare and treasured.
