Chapter 188: The Feeling of a Celebrity Walking the Red Carpet

Bai Wei could not help but laugh out loud.

Xiao Moting also realized he had said the wrong thing and apologized immediately.

But seeing her laugh, his nervous mood eased significantly, and his handsome brows and eyes relaxed.

"Bai, why didn't you rest a bit more? Did you have a nightmare?"

"I'm fine!"

Bai Wei hurriedly shook her head. She had slept, and now her mind was much clearer as she recalled what happened last night!

Last night, she performed surgeries on the injured Northern Frontier Army soldiers until midnight.

In the end, she was so exhausted that she intended to rest for a moment, but she didn't expect that as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep standing up while leaning against Xiao Moting.

She never expected that when she opened her eyes, she would be lying on Xiao Moting's bed.

Bai Wei felt embarrassed.

"Xiao Moting, how did I end up sleeping in your bed?"

"You fell asleep, so I carried you over." After Xiao Moting finished speaking, he immediately offered an apology, "I was afraid it wouldn't be safe, so I stood guard outside the tent all night. Please forgive me for the offense, Bai."

Bai Wei's heart trembled, and she blushed.

This was her first time spending the night in a strange man's bed!

Fortunately, the person was Xiao Moting; he had stood guard outside the door all night and had not overstepped his bounds with her in the slightest.

Bai Wei had slept in her clothes, and she sat upright.

Xiao Moting's tent was simple, but it was kept very clean.

The bedding gave off the faint scent of soap, the same as the scent on his body—a faint, woody aroma.

It was still early morning, and everything around was very quiet.

In the tent, there were only her and Xiao Moting.

Bai Wei secretly glanced at Xiao Moting and spoke embarrassedly.

"You, you guarded me all night, aren't you tired?"

Xiao Moting nodded, "When marching and fighting, one must always remain vigilant. Not sleeping for days is common; I am used to it."

"You must be hungry. I will order someone to bring food over. The soldiers are grateful to you for treating their illnesses and have sent many gifts; I will bring them over now."

After speaking, he stood up, walked to the tent entrance, and took a large bamboo basket.

The basket was filled with washed wild fruits and all sorts of small items, such as small knives, safety talismans, wood carvings...

The wild fruits were very fresh, bright red, and gave off a sweet fragrance.

Yannan was arid; it was quite difficult for the soldiers to find such fresh wild fruits, and who knew how many mountains they had to climb to pick them.

Moreover, the other small items, while not worth much, were the soldiers' prized possessions.

Bai Wei felt the soldiers' sincerity and was very moved.

Every little bit was their genuine gratitude toward her.

She picked up a wild fruit and took a bite.

She didn't know the name of the fruit, but it was very sweet.

Xiao Moting sat to one side, watching her eat the fruit.

He hesitated for a moment, "Bai, how long do you intend to stay in Daliang this time?"

Bai Wei thought for a moment, "If there are no accidents, I should stay for several days. There are still many wounded soldiers in the camp, and I will leave after I have treated them."

Xiao Moting visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of a smile appeared on his handsome face.

"That is to say, you won't leave immediately? Then I will accompany you these next few days."

"Of course you must accompany me." Bai Wei gave him a bright smile, "You cannot stay too far from me."

She had slept in Daliang for one night, and there was nothing abnormal with her body.

But after all, she was not a person of this era; only when Xiao Moting was present did she feel no discomfort.

Bai Wei was also unsure if the same situation as last time would occur if she stayed too far away from Xiao Moting.

After finishing the steamed bun, Bai Wei stood up.

"Let's go, I'll go see the patients. By the way, you can take me to tour the Beijiang Junying."

The Northern Frontier Army was something she had raised, and she had spent quite a lot of money on it.

Since she had finally come to Daliang, Bai Wei naturally wanted to take a look at the great army she had raised.

Xiao Moting picked up a brand-new white silk veil and handed it to her, "Very well, I will accompany you wherever you wish to go, Bai."

Bai Wei smiled beautifully, took the veil, and put it on her face.

Walking out of the tent, a breeze blew against her face, lifting her hair.

A strand of hair brushed against Xiao Moting's handsome face.

His heart trembled, and his face flushed slightly.

Bai Wei wore the veil and walked along the way.

Her consciousness had been to Daliang before, but seeing it with her own eyes now, she felt even more shocked!

The boundless military camp stood in neat rows, with the battle flags of the Northern Frontier Army fluttering in the camp!

Countless Northern Frontier Army soldiers were scattered throughout the camp, some training, some feeding horses, some cooking...

The soldiers wore battle robes, and their military appearance was neat and their discipline strict!

Bai Wei was very excited.

Before her eyes was the real Daliang from a thousand years ago!

She was breathing the air of a thousand years ago and seeing living soldiers from a thousand years ago!

This was even more shocking than the scenes of ancient military camps she had seen in movies at the cinema in the modern world!

Furthermore, wherever Bai Wei walked, all the soldiers took the initiative to clear a path and respectfully saluted her.

"Greetings, Bai."

"We have seen Bai."

"Peace be with you, Bai."

Some soldiers even knelt down, kowtowing to her with excitement, their eyes filled with reverence.

The soldiers lined up on both sides, all casting gazes of gratitude toward her.

The deity in their hearts had finally descended to the world!

Everyone was incredibly excited; many had not slept all night, just wanting to see her once to express their gratitude.

If Xiao Moting had not given instructions beforehand, the excited soldiers would have swarmed her long ago.

Bai Wei was simply overwhelmed by the favor.

She had not expected that coming to Daliang and just casually visiting the military camp would result in the feeling of a celebrity walking a red carpet, as if she were being welcomed by one hundred thousand fanatical fans lining the path, watching her with focused gazes.

Being stared at by one hundred thousand people with pious gazes, sweat even broke out on Bai Wei's forehead.

As expected, being a celebrity is not easy; it is truly not something an ordinary person can do.

She hurriedly asked Xiao Moting to tell the kneeling soldiers to stand up.

She tried hard to maintain a smile, nodding in return to the soldiers one by one.

At the same time, she recited silently in her heart.

Cannot lose face, cannot lose face...

She was a modern person, after all; she could not make a fool of herself in front of one hundred thousand ancients.

Xiao Moting had already issued an order that no one was allowed to call her "Shennü Daren" in public, only "Bai," to avoid inviting trouble.

This was not Beijiang; although they had won the battle, no one knew what crises might still be lurking outside.

The soldiers kept this in their hearts.

The Goddess has come!

They would protect her with their lives and would never let any evildoer get within a step of her!

Far from the main camp.

In the dense forest on the hillside.

The figures of several assassins in black flashed by.
