Chapter 593: Water Peaches Discovered in the Ancient Era

Nan Qinghuan shrugged, "It's fine, I just feel it's such a waste. We built it so high, and it collapses just because we say it will. Seems the climate here is unstable."

This made her inexplicably worry; climate is also a great test for Ancient People—if rainy days or the Rainy Season arrive, the quality of the houses directly affects everyone's lives.

So, firing Green Brick cannot be delayed!

"Climate—what is climate?"

Ying is always curious about her, including the so‑called Green Brick she mentioned. To him, Green Tile is already impressive; what is this Green Brick, and will it make houses even better? Nan Qinghuan had to explain, and by the time she finished, dawn was near. Seeing she was tired, Ying prepared to carry her back to rest—yes, to carry her!

This brought Nan Qinghuan back to the feeling of their early romance; she had expected him to carry her home, but she didn't expect that the direction he carried her was… up the mountain.

Moreover, she knew this path; isn't it the warm road up the mountain? "Ying, shall we go there?"

Ying planned to take her up the mountain to bathe; they hadn't been together for several days, and he felt a bit restless!

"Let's find a place to rest for a while."

Saying that, Ying kept carrying her forward, and soon, when the sun rose, they reached the mountaintop.

This is the only place that hasn't been cultivated, the happy sanctuary of Nan Qinghuan and Ying. Ying forbids anyone from coming here; he has devoted the Ying Tribe to it, to preserve this last piece of pure land.

This is the place where he was with Qinghuan back then; he cherishes it.

Upon reaching the ridge, Nan Qinghuan saw a blaze of golden light and also… many White Cranes soaring in the sky.

"Those are White Cranes?"

She never imagined there were White Cranes in ancient times!

Ying placed her on a large stone, then leaned against her side himself, and the couple gazed down at the valley, which was their Kuaihuo City.

It was truly towering and magnificent.

Just like that, facing the newborn sun.

"Qinghuan, do you like it here?"

The wind brushed her face, bringing a faint scent of earth—the breath of nature. She naturally liked it; arriving here left her without worries.

At home, the children are looked after by A Mu, so she doesn't have to worry much; the wheat has been harvested, and the only thing she worries about is that Ying is about to attack the Baiqi Tribe.

This matter made her very worried, but she also knew she couldn't just fly away!

"Of course I like it; I've never felt as free as I do now. Ying, how did you know I liked this place?"

Ying smiled; sunlight fell on her face, and mirth twinkled in his eyes.

"Because this is the first place I brought you to bathe. Back then, when you came here you had a fever; I brought you here to wash, do you remember?"

At that time, Nan Qinghuan was so fragile she seemed on the brink of death; Ying was deeply worried, fearing the female he had coveted would die inside the Cave.

Fortunately she knew medicine and survived tenaciously.

Hearing his words, Nan Qinghuan seemed to recall that year—yes, that year when he was rescued by her, he had a fever, and she truly thought she was doomed.

Fortunately Axi was there; she went to gather herbs and recovered, but… she also paid a great price.

This journey has truly been far from easy!

Even now she feels steadfast belief; fortunately, it all ends in happiness.

"Of course I remember; I recall every moment we spent together."

This further convinces her that staying here is right!

Ying saw tiny beads of sweat on her forehead, smiled, "Qinghuan, take off your clothes, go down and soak, I'll go fetch some fruit for you."

"Fruit?"

"You bathe first; I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Ying rose and left. Knowing no one would come here, Nan Qinghuan grew bold; after shedding her outer garment, she slowly made her way to the hot spring.

The spring's water stays warm year‑round, extremely convenient; taking a hot bath in this May‑June weather is sheer satisfaction!

She removed her clothes and lay in it; it was incredibly comfortable.

Beneath the warmth were many multicolored stones, glittering like gems under the sun; the sun felt dazzling, so she casually plucked a leaf to shield her eyes.

Soon, footsteps sounded—it was Ying's footsteps.

"Qinghuan, come try something good."

Hearing his cheerful voice, Nan Qinghuan quickly lifted the leaf; seeing his sweat‑soaked head, she felt a pang of concern, "Look at you drenched in sweat, aren't you coming down to wash?"

Ying now looked like a rough man; he chuckled, glanced at Qinghuan's plump form, swallowed, "Come, first let you try some fruit—very fragrant and sweet."

"Fruit?"

Only then did she see that his hand was holding something; Ying gently lifted the leaf, and when she saw several ripe Water Peaches inside, Nan Qinghuan was stunned.

"Where were these picked?"

"From the cliffs; this fruit is rare, sweet—try it."

Whoa!

They discovered Water Peaches in ancient times—no, the ancestors of Water Peaches—how thrilled they must have been!

Nan Qinghuan immediately reached out, took a fruit; it was about the size of a child's fist, she gave it a quick wash and bit into it.

Crunch—crack.

So sweet!

Too sweet!

This was the best Water Peach she had ever eaten.

"How is it, tasty?"

Ying watched her eat joyfully, and he himself felt happy!

Nan Qinghuan nodded, "Delicious—would you like to try too?"

She offered Ying a taste, but Ying, eyeing her plumpness, seemed thoughtful, "I won't eat it; women like this fruit, I don't—you eat first, it's all yours."

After saying that, he jumped into the bath, but this time he didn't fidget. Nan Qinghuan, meanwhile, truly ate a few peaches; after being in the ancient era for so long, she had never seen a peach before.

She has always liked eating peaches, but had never seen any that were unavailable; today she might finally get her fill!

Soon the three peaches were all eaten, and she was still not satisfied, "Yesterday Axi said she wanted me to think of a way for her to get rich; isn't this it?"

"What?"

Ying didn't know what she meant, what help Axi had asked her for? Nan Qinghuan smiled, "These kinds of peaches definitely aren't on the market; Axi could just grow Water Peaches. If they mature, they'll surely fetch a good price."

Hearing Nan Qinghuan's words, Ying found it unbelievable, "You want Axi to plant a fruit tree, Qinghuan? Don't be so naive; it's impossible. Such fruit trees are rare—I've only seen two, and last year a thunderbolt killed one, leaving only one."
