Chapter 314: Bringing Gifts for Everyone

Xiao Dabao looked annoyed; he was wearing a brand-new military uniform, but the waist had split open, the seams bursting.

"When I measured my height and weight last time, my waist definitely wasn't this thick."

"Stop making excuses," Han Guiying said angrily. "We went to Shiya City and left you at the main camp to watch the house, but you took the chance to stuff your face. By the time we got back, you'd gained several circles of fat. The way you eat, you'll ruin every piece of clothing you own!"

Xiao Dabao argued, "I don't think I'm fat. I'm going to find the Prince right now and have him ask Shennü Daren if I can get a larger uniform..."

The two argued and bickered all the way to the door of Xiao Moting's room.

Just as Xiao Dabao was about to walk forward, a figure suddenly flashed by, blocking his path with a cold voice.

"You cannot go any further. Stop."

Xiao Lujing stood in the middle of the path like a door god, blocking their way.

Han Guiying was stunned. "Why won't you let us pass?"

As she spoke, she looked up and ahead. "Did something happen up there?"

Xiao Dabao was also confused. "Lujing, I have important business with the Prince. Move aside."

Xiao Lujing gave the two a cold glance.

"I said no, and that means no."

He would not let anyone disturb Bai and the Prince.

Seeing Xiao Lujing blocking the road, Xiao Dabao grew anxious.

"Lujing, move aside for me right now."

What a joke.

He was his older brother, after all.

Xiao Dabao started to rush forward.

Unexpectedly, a flash of light appeared, and his neck suddenly felt cold.

Xiao Dabao looked down and was shocked to find Xiao Lujing's blade pressed against his throat; he was scared out of his wits.

"Lu... Lujing, you, put the blade down."

Han Guiying was also stunned. "Xiao Lujing, have you lost your mind? What are you doing?"

Xiao Lujing remained expressionless, standing motionless in front of Xiao Dabao, his hand holding the blade steady.

"Retreat."

Xiao Dabao was about to go crazy.

He was Xiao Lujing's own brother, yet this kid was actually turning against him.

"Clang."

Han Guiying drew her Long Sword, her expression turning cold as well.

"Xiao Lujing, the military code of the Northern Frontier Army forbids harming one's own."

"If you don't put that blade down, don't blame me for taking action."

Just as the group was at a stalemate, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind.

"Dabao?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Xiao Dabao was so surprised his mouth fell wide open.

"Shen... Shennü Daren?"

Behind them, Bai Wei had already emerged from the room, her face slightly flushed.

"You can just call me Bai."

She had heard the commotion outside and had hurriedly pushed Xiao Moting aside to come out.

"Shennü... no, Bai, you came to Daliang?" Han Guiying was incredibly shocked, and the Long Sword in her hand clattered to the ground.

Once she regained her senses, she was so happy her face turned red, and she blurted out.

"Bai, when did you arrive? Why didn't you let us know?"

"I, I'll have the Cook Battalion prepare something delicious right away..."

Bai Wei waved her hands hurriedly. "No, no need. I just arrived, and I already ate before I came."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and quickly took her backpack off her shoulders.

"I brought you all gifts, and the snacks Xiao Dabao likes best."

"What? Bai, you actually brought me snacks?" Xiao Dabao was flattered and couldn't hide his joy. He turned his head and patted Xiao Lujing on the shoulder.

"You kid, so that's why you were blocking us earlier."

Having said that, he prepared to rush over excitedly.

But just as he took a step, he felt his arm being yanked back violently.

Xiao Dabao was pulled by the arm and turned back in a hurry. "General Han, why are you pulling me?"

Han Guiying stood behind him, gripping his arm firmly with her left hand, and scolded him in a low voice.

"Are you stupid? All you think about is food! Don't you know to give the Prince some time?"

"How long has it been since they last saw each other? Go back to your room and stay there; don't disturb them."

"But..." Xiao Dabao smacked his lips, staring straight at the backpack.

Han Guiying kicked him. "Enough, if you want to eat, come back later."

She had immense strength, and the kick sent Xiao Dabao stumbling.

Bai Wei covered her mouth and laughed, quickly taking the gifts out of her backpack.

"It's alright, Xiao Moting and I have already talked."

"General Han, this is for you."

Han Guiying laughed heartily. "How could I be so bold as to accept this?"

Yet even as she spoke, she walked over and took a box from Bai Wei's hands.

Bai Wei smiled and said, "This is Red Date Donkey-hide Gelatin Paste; it's good for beauty and skin, and it tastes good too. Won't you try some?"

Han Guiying did not stand on ceremony; she unwrapped a piece and put it in her mouth, her eyebrows immediately arching.

"It really is fragrant and sweet, and there's a floral scent I've never smelled before. This fragrance is truly lovely."

Bai Wei said, "I put roses in it; Daliang doesn't have them now."

There were no roses in ancient times, so Han Guiying had never smelled them.

Han Guiying was overjoyed, "It's so fragrant, this Donkey-hide Gelatin Paste is delicious. Thank you, Bai."

Bai Wei took out another item and handed it to Xiao Lujing.

"Lu Jing, this is for you."

But Xiao Lujing did not step forward; instead, he retreated two steps vigilantly, his face full of caution.

"Bai, I appreciate the gesture, but give, give it to someone else."

Han Guiying gave him a shove.

"Lu Jing, what is wrong with you? You're usually afraid of nothing, so why are you so scared now that you see Bai? You're even stuttering."

"It's not that, I just..." Xiao Lujing kept shrinking backward.

Bai Wei smiled and held up the box in her hand.

"Rest assured, I'm not here to give you homework this time."

"It's the thing that boys your age where I'm from like the most."

After saying this, she opened the paper box in her hand and took out a "Nintendo" game console.

"Here, there are lots of games inside."

Xiao Lujing's eyes lit up instantly.

Bai had sent over many videos before; he had seen this kind of game console in the videos and knew there were many fun things inside.

He hadn't expected that Bai Wei would actually bring him one.

"Re, really giving it to me?"

Bai Wei feigned anger, "Of course it's real. If you don't want it, I'll give it to Dabao."

"No, I want it." Xiao Lujing was so excited he was incoherent, immediately taking a few steps forward to take the game console.

As soon as he got the game console, he couldn't wait to start fiddling with it.

Seeing the happy look on Xiao Lujing's face, Bai Wei couldn't help but smile knowingly.

She had chosen the right gift this time.

Whether in modern times or ancient times, what boys like most is still a game console.

Seeing that Xiao Lujing and Han Guiying had both received their favorite gifts, Xiao Dabao couldn't wait any longer either.

He had heard that the Goddess's world had many delicious foods, all of which did not exist in Daliang.

Perhaps Bai had brought him something tasty too.

At this moment, Bai Wei had already rummaged a large paper box out of her hiking backpack.

"Come, Dabao, this is for you."

As she spoke, she tossed the paper box over with a flick of her hand.

Xiao Dabao was thrilled; he lunged forward and reached out to catch it, "What kind of delicious food is this..."

He froze abruptly as he reached this point.

"What is this?!"
