Chapter 319: His Perspective Is Also Changing

Four days later, the caravan entered the territory of Yannan.

I have to say, the speed of the horse-drawn carriages was truly slow.

Even though the horses pulling the carriages were selected for their speed, their travel speed could not compare to a Minivan.

Everyone had grown accustomed to the speed of the Minivan, and now that they were riding in carriages, they were actually feeling a bit unaccustomed to it.

Bai Wei sat in the carriage, holding her phone and reading a downloaded novel.

No matter how beautiful the scenery of Daliang was, she had grown tired of looking at it over the past few days.

Xiao Moting rode his horse, following alongside the carriage.

Originally, the caravan had planned to travel day and night to reach Yannan sooner, but considering that Bai Wei would be exhausted from the journey, he had the caravan stop near towns at night to find inns for rest.

After several days of travel, his handsome face also showed faint signs of fatigue.

Upon entering the territory of Yannan, the temperature had clearly risen.

The sun's rays beat down on the earth, scorching hot, making people sweat profusely.

Bai Wei put down her phone and stuck her head out of the carriage window.

"Xiao Moting, everyone is tired from the journey these past few days; let's not travel tonight. Let's find a place early this afternoon and let everyone have a good rest."

The carriage that Xiao Moting had specially arranged for her was very comfortable and even padded with thick mattresses, all because he feared she would suffer.

But the rest of the Beijiang Army were not so comfortable.

The carriages were used to transport cloth and also had to hide weapons, so it was impossible for everyone to ride in them.

Moreover, the Beijiang Army was disguised as a merchant caravan; some were grooms, others were servants, and none were qualified to ride, so they could only follow alongside.

Seeing that everyone was tired, Bai Wei intended to let the group rest.

Xiao Moting pulled on his mount's reins, slowing the horse's pace.

He rode his horse, traveling side-by-side with the carriage window, and then looked up toward the front.

"Bai, Yannan is plagued by constant warfare, and there are rioters and bandits everywhere; it is not safe to camp out in the open."

"We should be arriving at An City soon; it is a major city in Yannan. Let's settle down there in a while."

"Alright."

Bai Wei nodded, understanding Xiao Moting's intentions.

Throughout this journey, he had considered her safety at every turn, making her the priority in everything.

Bai Wei waved her hand in the air and immediately grabbed a bottle of iced Cola from her space, tossing it to Xiao Moting.

"Here, catch."

Xiao Moting subconsciously stretched out his arm and caught the Cola.

A chill instantly radiated from his palm.

He twisted off the cap and took a sip.

The cool Cola flowed down his throat, and the heat in his body was immediately dispelled quite a bit.

Xiao Moting felt a sweetness in his heart and looked up at Bai Wei, only to find her gazing at him with smiling eyes, her dark almond-shaped eyes sparkling.

In an instant, his heart felt as if it had been lightly brushed by a feather, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Just then, Qin Zhan leaned over, looking longingly at the Cola in Xiao Moting's hand.

Bai Wei saw this too and smiled, "Come on everyone, there's enough for all!"

After saying this, she took several more bottles of frozen drinks from her space and distributed them to the Beijiang Army.

Everyone had been wilting under the sun, but upon receiving the frozen drinks, they instantly shook off their lethargy and began to cheer.

"Drinking ice water on such a hot day is truly comfortable!"

"Following Bai is great; there's food and drink, and even ice water!"

"Bai's immortal arts are truly amazing. Why don't we just have our young master marry into her family, go to the immortal's cave dwelling, and become the Goddess's trophy husband?"

As they drank the iced beverages and the heat in their bodies vanished, the atmosphere became much livelier, and they began to tease one another.

They were currently disguised as a merchant caravan, so to avoid exposing their tracks, they addressed Xiao Moting as "Young Master Xiao."

Bai Wei didn't dampen the mood; she laughed along with everyone and joined in the banter.

"Alright, let Young Master Xiao marry into my Bai Family and become a long-term laborer for my household."

"I'm just afraid that Young Master Xiao, with his noble status, wouldn't be willing."

She had meant it as a joke, but unexpectedly, Xiao Moting continued.

"Marrying into the Bai Family to be a long-term laborer? I would be willing; after all, the food, clothing, and shelter of the Beijiang Army are all provided by you."

"However, if you want me to marry into your family, you'll have to provide a dowry."

Bai Wei rolled her eyes, "No dowry, are you willing or not?"

Xiao Moting's thin lips curled slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Of course I'm willing. Then it's settled: from now on, you manage the Bai Family Grocery Store, and I will handle the household chores in the inner chambers, waiting for you to return at night. Once we have children in the future, I will then..."

The soldiers all around burst into roars of laughter.

Bai Wei felt her cheeks heat up upon hearing this and quickly glared at Xiao Moting, stopping him from continuing.

"Who... who said I was going to have children with you?"

Honestly!

Xiao Moting never used to joke around much and was always cold and aloof.

Today, he actually said things like "return at night" and "have children"—others would misunderstand.

After saying this, Bai Wei immediately stuck her head back into the carriage, refusing to look at Xiao Moting.

Seeing that Bai Wei was shy, Xiao Moting's lips curled up, and he stopped talking.

Bai Wei had sent him many videos and various books about her world, all of which he had read, and he had gained some understanding of her world.

He knew that the rules of the world where Bai Wei came from were very different from those of Daliang.

In Daliang Kingdom, men are superior to women; most women never travel far in their entire lives, and once married, they can only serve their husbands, raise their children, and wait upon their parents-in-law.

But in Bai Wei's world, the status of men and women is the same, and many women go out to work, often doing better than the men.

Especially after a man and woman marry, the wife does not have to stay at home to manage household chores; if she wants to go out to work, she goes, and the world says nothing of it.

In Daliang Kingdom, this is completely impossible; if a married woman were to show her face in public, it would be called an offense against public decency.

But in Bai Wei's world, both husband and wife can go out to work, do housework together when they return home, and they do not have to live with their parents-in-law; the young couple lives in their own private world at home, completely undisturbed by others.

Regarding the rules of Bai Wei's world, Xiao Moting found them both novel and desirable.

He had watched many videos, and his concepts were slowly changing.

In the past, he would never have become a live-in son-in-law, as this was a great humiliation for a man, but now, Xiao Moting had gradually accepted this viewpoint.

Of course, this was limited to Bai Wei.

If the woman were anyone else, he would never marry into her family.

The carriage was quite spacious; Bai Wei looked up, saw Xiao Lujing's little face flushed red from the heat, and called out to him.

"Lu Jing, come into the carriage and rest."

Xiao Lujing's heart stirred, and he looked hesitantly at Xiao Moting.

Bai Wei chided, "Why are you looking at him? Young Master Xiao is now the live-in son-in-law of my family, and I have the final say in family matters."

"Since Bai is calling you, just go," Xiao Moting said.

Xiao Lujing was still young, and although everyone was exhausted after riding horses for three days, he had not uttered a single word of complaint.

Hearing Xiao Moting give the word, Xiao Lujing jumped down from his horse and happily ducked into the carriage.

As soon as Xiao Lujing entered the carriage, he couldn't wait to take out the "Nintendo" game console.

"Sister Bai, there is a level I can't get past, and I was just about to ask you how to beat it."

Bai Wei took a look, "Super Mario?"
