She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 26 - : She Seduced Their Military Supervisor!

Xiang Ying, after a brief moment of thought, quickly said: "Mr. Lin, could you please depict the regions that will be affected when the earthquake occurs?"

Suddenly, Lin Lingxiang picked up a stick and handed it to her grandfather.

Mr. Lin then began to draw on the ground, marking the direction along with the states and counties he predicted would be most severely impacted by the earthquake.

It was no wonder he was the esteemed former Supervisor of the Qintianjian.

The map of Xizhou seemed to be etched into his mind.

He detailed even every river as he depicted them.

Mr. Lin pointed to Peng State, which was three hundred miles from Yu City.

"Based on my observations of the stars at night, it is likely that Peng State will be the most severely affected. At the beginning of the year, the governor of Peng State has already sent a memorial, reporting various strange phenomena occurring frequently."

"Not only a sudden half-year drought but also the abnormal scattering of snakes and insects, and geese flying south suddenly. However, these had not attracted His Majesty's attention. Plus, with the recent anomalies with the Fire Moon Star, I fear this earthquake will not be small."

Hearing his description, Xiang Ying had a clearer understanding.

If Mr. Lin's calculations were accurate, then Peng State, three hundred miles away, would be the epicenter.

If the earthquake's magnitude did not exceed six, then they would likely not face any significant danger in Yu City.

But there was always the fear of the unexpected...

Xiang Li spoke in a heavy tone: "Even if we know, it's not like we can do anything about it. The Exile Team will not heed our advice and take action."

This was exactly what Mr. Lin was worried about.

He sighed repeatedly: "I am old and do not fear death, but the lives of Your Highnesses are tied to the last bloodline of Xizhou. Knowing the dangers ahead and not being able to stop them, I would be ashamed to face the late Emperor in the underworld."

Mr. Lin repeated words of shame thrice, and everyone fell into silence.

The road ahead was not just difficult because of an earthquake.

Natural disasters, man-made calamities, all waiting for them.

Just as everyone was at a loss, Xiang Ying's light voice rang out.

"Then let's prepare ahead of time."

Everyone looked at her, and they saw Xiang Ying's radiant face, full of composure and confidence.

"Living entails encountering issues, right? Since we know about this earthquake in advance, we've got an advantage."

For her, an earthquake was nothing.

In the apocalypse, even the sun had become a luxury.

Life now seemed bubbly and beautiful to Xiang Ying.

She stood up nimbly, patted her dress, and declared decisively.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll ask the Military Supervisor for more rations to keep on us, and we'll each take a water bag. When the disaster strikes, everyone must rely on their abilities to survive first, and then we can think about saving others."

She spoke with such ease and simplicity that it took everyone by surprise.

Mr. Lin nodded in satisfaction.

At night, when the prisoners were asleep,

Xiang Ying rose under the cover of darkness, quickly scaling the walls into the inn where the Military Supervisor, Jie Chen, was staying.

She had observed during the day and accurately located the room where Jie Chen resided.

However, the moment Xiang Ying climbed through the window, she heard the sound of water.

Before she could even stand properly, a treasure sword pressed against her neck.

The man behind her had wet ends from a bath, his body scorching from hot water, but the sword's edge was chillingly cold.

"Out seeking death again?" Jie Chen said to her, forever ill-tempered.

Xiang Ying hesitated for a moment: "Are you taking a bath? I'm not here to peep; I have something important to discuss with you."

Jie Chen didn't put away the sword, he coldly replied: "Speak plainly, did I gag you?"

Xiang Ying did indeed want to turn around, but as if he was afraid she would see too much, he restrained her hands, not moving the sword at all.

She could only face away from him, inwardly cursing the man for his pettiness.

"Supervisor Lin of Qintianjian observed the stars last night and discovered an impending disaster. There is an earthquake coming up ahead, you must change your route."

After Xiang Ying said this, Jie Chen's eyebrows knitted together in silent contemplation for a moment.

His tone was cold, "It's too late to change course now. Taking a detour through the mountains will only delay the exile process, not to mention, Supervisor Lin might not necessarily be right."

Xiang Ying retorted, "What if the earthquake causes severe damage and countless casualties? You wouldn't care?"

"I can't. Life and death are predestined," he replied, then he let go of Xiang Ying and gave her a shove forward, "Leave. Don't climb through the window next time."

Xiang Ying staggered a few steps, almost colliding with the wall.

She turned around in irritation, only to see the moonlight streaming in from the window behind her, casting light on the man in front of her wearing only loose undershorts and no shirt.

Thanks to the moon's reflection, she could clearly see the glistening water droplets sliding down his abdominal muscles.

Damn it, she actually found herself thinking about how it felt to touch at a time like this.

Jie Chen's thin eyes suddenly turned frosty.

"Do you not want your eyes anymore?" He pinched the handle of his long sword as if he would strike at Xiang Ying any moment.

"Tsk, you might have a pretty face, but you're really a lousy, irresponsible father."

Jie Chen: ...

"What did you say?"

Xiang Ying crossed her arms: "You're so protective over the three little ones; you must be the father of at least one them, if not all three."

"It's okay for you to dislike me, but surely you can't leave all three children to my care, expecting me to look after them?"

Jie Chen's brows, black as ink, knit together into a frown.

He turned and picked up a towel to wipe the water droplets from his body, saying coldly, "What do you want?"

If it weren't for his currently sensitive status, he would have sent someone to take the children away long ago.

Xiang Ying began to make demands, "Let's not talk about Yuanxiao and Yuan Lang. Xiu Xiu is a girl, and she can only use the cold water from the river for bathing, which isn't good for her."

"Just now I saw that you have a bathtub. From now on, I'll bring Xiu Xiu to your room to use hot water, you won't mind that, right?"

Jie Chen, with a cold face, sheathed his treasure sword.

"No," he said, sparing his words.

Xiang Ying continued, "Also, since you don't plan to change your route, I demand that you take me with you when you go to Yu City to purchase supplies."

Jie Chen looked up, his thin eyes filled with displeasure: "No."

Xiang Ying boldly justified herself, "Why not? I just want to buy more things. Otherwise, how can I guarantee the livelihood of the three children?"

"You, as a father, don't contribute money or effort. You ride your horse with great pomp, while the poor three little ones follow me on foot until their little feet swell!"

"They don't even have decent clothes to wear. If you're like this, I..."

Before she could finish, Jie Chen closed his eyes briefly and cut her off with a stern voice: "Enough! You can follow, but you must obey my orders, and not run off."

Xiang Ying pursed her lips into a smile: "It's a deal."

She turned to step onto the windowsill, ready to jump out.

Suddenly, she remembered that Jie Chen had told her not to climb through windows.

So Xiang Ying grandly opened the door and bumped right into scar face.

Both were momentarily stunned.

Xiang Ying coughed lightly, then turned back to the room and said, "Jie Jianjun, have a good rest."

Then she gracefully departed.

Scar face stared with wide eyes at her receding figure.

Then he turned his head and saw that inside the room, Jie Chen was bare-chested, just wearing undershorts!

So the rumors were true, the elder Princess of Xizhou had seduced their Military Supervisor!

No wonder Jie Chen was so lenient and partial to her.

Jie Chen's expression was unchanged: "What is it?"

Scar face snapped back to reality, stepped inside with a bow, "Military Supervisor, I'm not competent enough to remain as the team leader. Please reassign me to the rear of the team to oversee the supplies."
