Chapter 335: That Is Enough

"I can do it?" Xiao Moting turned his head to look at her, "You have already given me enough... do you still want to give me a reward?"

"You don't want it?" Bai Wei blinked, "If you don't want it, then forget it..."

"Wait, I want it."

"Then what do you want?" Bai Wei looked at him and smiled, "Weapons, guns, Ammunition? Or should I get another batch of stockpiled grain for the Beijiang Army? As long as you speak up, I will buy it immediately after I go back!"

In fact, she knew that although she had sent so many things to Xiao Moting, they were all used for the Beijiang Army.

He himself did not receive much.

"I don't need so many things; no matter how precious the treasure or how powerful the weapon, they are just external objects." Xiao Moting shook his head, "However, I really do want a reward in this form."

After saying this, he took Bai Wei's hand and lowered his head to kiss the back of her hand lightly.

A warm sensation touched the back of Bai Wei's hand.

Her heartstrings trembled, and her cheeks burned with heat.

Xiao Moting raised his head, his eyes as dark as stars gazing at her.

His gaze had always been cold and stern.

But Bai Wei clearly felt that there was a spark of fire contained within his eyes.

Xiao Moting spoke in a low voice, "Bai, I have no other requests; I only hope that you are safe, happy, and that everything goes your way. Your wishes are my wishes, and I will do my best to accomplish everything you want to do."

"Xiao Moting..." Bai Wei said softly.

At this moment, she was truly moved.

Xiao Moting held a high position and great power, yet before her, he was so cautious, even somewhat humble.

He held her in the palm of his hand, considering everything for her, fearing she might suffer the slightest grievance.

The caravan finished packing and continued on the road, setting off for Yannan City.

The Post Road in the past was all dirt paths, so the carriage moved very slowly and swayed back and forth.

Bai Wei called Xiao Moting into the carriage to discuss the business of selling cloth.

"Xiao Moting, the fabric you gave to Eunuch Song today, I have plenty more of that on my side, and the price is very cheap. So I was thinking, when I go back, I can send you another batch of fabric, and you can take it to sell."

Xiao Moting sat upright in the carriage, pondering for a moment.

"Bai, do you mean that in addition to selling the fabric to the palace, you also want to sell it outside?"

"Yes." Bai Wei nodded, "Although the palace needs a lot of fabric, the business opportunities in the entire Daliang Kingdom are even greater. We can price the fabric according to its material and pattern; fabric with good material and patterns can be sold for a higher price, and the others at a standard price."

"In this way, not only can the high officials and nobles afford it, but ordinary people can also afford it."

Bai Wei had already thought it through.

In the few times she had come to Daliang, she saw that most of the common people wore Coarse Cloth clothes, and some even wore Hemp Cloth; those expensive silk embroideries were only affordable to high officials and nobles.

There was so much modern stock fabric that even if she brought the worst of the stock fabric to Daliang, it would still be far better than Coarse Cloth and Hemp Cloth.

By sending the fabric to Daliang to sell, she was not only making money but also benefiting the people.

Moreover, those stock fabrics were just sitting there; if left for too long, they would get moth-eaten and go to waste, so it was better to bring them to the ancient times.

Xiao Moting never opposed Bai Wei's opinions.

He nodded, "Bai, just decide as you see fit; I will follow through on how to execute it specifically."

"Good, I'll go look for a few more fabric factories to ask around when I get back."

The two sat in the carriage discussing, and half a day had already passed.

After they finished discussing, Bai Wei did not ask Xiao Moting to get out of the carriage.

Xiao Moting also had no intention of getting out.

The carriage bumped and swayed, and Bai Wei's eyelids soon began to fight, and she started to feel sleepy.

Unknowingly, her head tilted and slid onto Xiao Moting's shoulder.

Xiao Moting looked down at Bai Wei, sitting still and letting her lean on his shoulder to rest.

Bai Wei's head found a "pillow," and she soon fell asleep.

At this moment, the carriage rolled over a small dirt pit, and the vehicle jolted.

Bai Wei's head swayed along with it.

With her eyes closed, she frowned impatiently.

Xiao Moting hesitated for a moment and softly called out, "Bai."

Bai Wei was already asleep and did not respond at all.

Xiao Moting gently shifted his shoulder, and Bai Wei slid down along his shoulder into his arms.

He reached out to hold her, pulling her against his chest.

Bai Wei was sleeping soundly and did not realize at all that she had been held by Xiao Moting; she only felt groggily that this position was more comfortable than before.

She shifted her body, snuggled against Xiao Moting's chest, and continued to sleep.

It was already afternoon, and the scorching sun was in the sky.

There were not many vehicles on the Post Road, and the surroundings were very quiet, with only the "clatter" of the carriage wheels rolling over the dirt and the chirping of birds in the distant forest.

A cool breeze blew in through the gaps in the window, dispelling the summer heat.

Xiao Moting lowered his eyes, gazing at the young woman in his arms, his eyes filled with undisguised longing.

He knew that Bai Wei was not from this space-time.

Although they had expressed their feelings to each other, no one knew what would become of them in the future.

Now, Bai Wei could come to Daliang through the Jade Pendant.

But what about later?

The Jade Pendant had already developed several cracks, and he did not know when it would break.

When that time comes, will Bai Wei still be able to come to Daliang?

Xiao Moting closed his eyes; he dared not think, nor was he willing to think.

The only thing he could grasp was the present.

Xiao Moting's thoughts were complex, but Bai Wei, sleeping in his arms, knew nothing of it and was fast asleep.

He lowered his head, tracing Bai Wei's face with his gaze.

The girl was already asleep, her cheeks slightly flushed, her long, thick eyelashes trembling from time to time, and her rosy lips slightly parted, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Xiao Moting watched Bai Wei's face without blinking; only at this moment did he dare to look at her boldly from up close.

He lowered his head, his thin lips gently touching the center of Bai Wei's brow.

This kiss was like a dragonfly skimming the water, fleeting and gone in an instant.

"Bai, I do not know what our future fate will be."

"But as long as I, Xiao, am by your side for one day, I will protect you for one day; I will not let you suffer any harm."

Just at this moment, Bai Wei was also dreaming.

She dreamed of many fragmented scenes.

Inside a cave, a great fire was raging.

Outside the cave were countless soldiers clad in armor; they lit piles of wood, setting the cave ablaze.

Hundreds of the Witch Clan were hiding in the cave, men and women, old and young; they were struggling to breathe from the fire and thick smoke, their cries and wails shaking the heavens.

A middle-aged member of the Witch Clan, with red and blue paint smeared on their face, squeezed out of the crowd, drenched in sweat, and fell to their knees before the old Clan Leader.

"Clan Leader, the dog emperor of Daliang wants to burn all of our people alive in this cave! If this continues, the Witch Clan will be wiped out! We might as well fight our way out together."

The fierce fire caused the temperature in the cave to soar, and thick smoke billowed.

The cold wind whistled, and the snow fell even more heavily, burying the entire world in a vast, desolate white.
