Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 407 The Little Doctor Girl Knows How to Pamper and Flirt (Part 2)

The night breeze brushed against Ji Xiaosong's slender body, bringing a chill.

She subconsciously wrapped herself tighter in the slightly oversized coarse cloth garment she was wearing, which was the maid's uniform that Granny Li had just given her.

"What are you looking at? Do you think the general would even notice you?" a mocking voice rang out.

Ji Xiaosong paused, turned around, and saw three burly soldiers blocking her way.

The man in the lead had a fierce face; he was the captain who had arrested her earlier.

"Gentlemen, is there something you need?" She took a half step back without making a sound, her fingers secretly clenching the hem of her clothes.

The captain sneered, "I heard you're quite favored by the general?"

Ji Xiaosong frowned slightly: "This humble woman is merely following orders to brew tea, and dares not presume to claim that the general favors her."

"Ha, brewing tea?" a tall, thin soldier sneered. "Everyone in the camp knows that the general never keeps women around him, so why did he take you in?"

“Exactly!” another short, stout soldier spat. “I heard you’ll be able to ‘serve’ the general every night from now on. You didn’t use some underhanded means to seduce him, did you?”

Ji Xiaosong's face darkened; she finally understood why these people had come.

"Gentlemen, you've misunderstood." She suppressed her anger and spoke calmly, "I was merely brewing tea; I had no other intentions."

"Misunderstanding?" The captain sneered, suddenly grabbing her wrist. "Let me check and see if you're really 'innocent'!"

Ji Xiaosong's eyes turned cold, and she subconsciously wanted to use her immortal power, but the warning from the Star Lord of Fate echoed in her ears: "Try not to use too much immortal power in the mortal world, otherwise the Heavenly Dao will notice."

She gritted her teeth and endured it, then abruptly pulled her hand back, saying coldly, "Sir, please have some self-respect! If the general knew you were so rude, he probably wouldn't let you off easily!"

"General?" the captain scoffed. "You think the general would really care about a lowly commoner like you?"

He gave Ji Xiaosong a sudden shove, and Ji Xiaosong staggered a few steps, his back slamming heavily against the wooden stake, letting out a muffled groan of pain.

"Let me tell you, we are from the Prime Minister's residence!"

The tall, thin man lowered his voice and threatened, "My young lady is the general's future wife. How dare a lowly thing like you get close to the general?"

Ji Xiaosong's heart skipped a beat. The Prime Minister's daughter?

It turned out to be the case.

These people were not ordinary soldiers, but spies planted in the army by the young lady who admired Si Di!

"If you know what's good for you, get out of the camp tonight!" the short, stout soldier said menacingly. "Otherwise, next time it won't be as simple as just shoving you!"

Ji Xiaosong slowly straightened up, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

Although she cannot use her divine power, she is not a weak woman who can be bullied by others.

"Gentlemen," she smiled slightly, her voice soft yet tinged with coldness, "though I am of lowly status, I was personally invited to stay by the general. If you insist on sending me away, perhaps... you should first ask the general's opinion?"

The captain's expression changed; he clearly hadn't expected her to dare use the general to intimidate them.

"You're asking for it!" he roared, raising his hand to slap her.

Ji Xiaosong's eyes sharpened, and she was about to dodge when suddenly...

"Stop!" A voice as cold as ice suddenly rang out.

Everyone froze, turning to look. Si Di was standing not far away, his dark eyes like knives, radiating a terrifying killing intent.

"General!" The captain was so frightened that his face turned pale and he immediately knelt down.

As Si Di approached slowly, each step felt like it was treading on the hearts of everyone present.

"What are you doing?" His voice was extremely soft, yet it sent chills down one's spine.

The tall, thin soldier was sweating profusely: "General, I...I only..."

"Just what?" Si Di's eyes darkened, and he suddenly raised his foot, kicking the captain to the ground!

"Ah!" the captain screamed, clutching his chest and curling up into a ball.

The Emperor looked down at him, his voice chillingly cold: "You dare to touch someone I just recruited?"

The captain trembled with fear: "I know I was wrong! I will never dare to do it again!"

Emperor Si coldly glanced at the three men: "Go and receive thirty strokes of the military rod. If you offend again, you will be punished according to military law!"

The three of them felt as if they had been granted a pardon and fled in a panic.

Ji Xiaosong stood there, her heart still pounding.

Si Di turned to look at her, his brows furrowing slightly: "Are you injured?"

She shook her head: "Thank you, General, I'm fine."

The night wind swirled up the fallen leaves on the ground, sending them flying between the two of them.

Ji Xiaosong looked down at her reddened wrist and suddenly whispered, "Why did the general save me?"

Si Di stood with his hands behind his back, the moonlight casting a cold, hard shadow on his sharply defined profile.

"My army will not tolerate the oppression of the good."

"Good and kind?" Ji Xiaosong raised her eyes, seemingly casually touching the red mark on her wrist. "How does the general know that I am a good and kind person?"

"You know medicine," Si Di suddenly said. "The other day, Li Ergou had a high fever that wouldn't go down, and you secretly added Scutellaria baicalensis to his medicine."

Ji Xiaosong's heart skipped a beat.

She did secretly use her knowledge of herbal medicine to help a few wounded soldiers, but she never expected that the general would notice.

"It's just some basic pharmacology." She deliberately gave a bitter smile. "If I really knew advanced medical skills, I wouldn't have been abandoned by my family."

The original owner of this body truly did not understand advanced medical skills, and she dared not reveal them casually.

Human intelligence is never low-level; it also requires constant caution.

Si Di's eyes flickered slightly.

The distant campfire reflected in his dark eyes, like flames surging beneath the frozen surface of a lake.

"General," Ji Xiaosong suddenly stepped forward, "if I may be so bold as to ask, what is your greatest wish?"

"Ridiculous." Si Di scoffed coldly. "What does my wish have to do with you?"

“Because…” she gently brushed her fingertips across the medicine pouch at her waist, “I want to repay your kindness. If the general has any wishes he wishes to fulfill, I am willing to do my best to help.”

Si Di remained silent for a moment.

The night wind rustled through his dark cloak.

"Thirteen villages on the border," he suddenly spoke, his voice low. "This year there has been a severe drought, and the imperial court's disaster relief grain has been delayed."

Ji Xiaosong felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

Sure enough, even after being reincarnated as a mortal, the God of War still retained his instinct to protect all living beings.

“When I was young, I followed my grandfather to practice medicine and learned about several drought-resistant herbs.”

She said softly, "If the general grants my permission, I may go tomorrow..."

"No need," Si Di interrupted her. "The army doesn't need your strength."

Although his words were cold and harsh, Ji Xiaosong keenly noticed that his right hand was unconsciously stroking the hilt of his sword. This was a habit she had observed; he would do this whenever he was preoccupied with something.

"Then..." she feigned timidity and lowered her head, "General, could you tell me what those villagers lack most? In case... in case there's an opportunity in the future..."

The Emperor scrutinized her with piercing eyes.

Just when Ji Xiaosong thought he was about to be scolded, he suddenly said, "Seed."

"what?"

“Drought-resistant grain seeds.” He turned to look at the dark mountains. “The old seeds allocated by the imperial court are mostly old and rare, less than one in ten survived.”

Ji Xiaosong's eyes suddenly felt hot.

This god of war, who strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies on the battlefield, is now preoccupied with a few insignificant seeds.

"I understand," she replied softly, silently making a mental note of it.

The reincarnation of the God of War still desires to protect the most insignificant creatures on this land.

Si Di suddenly turned his head and asked, "Why are you asking these questions?"

Ji Xiaosong smiled, her face like a newly blossoming white plum in the moonlight: "Because I've noticed that the general's frowning face... is really unsightly."

"Insolence!" Si Di shouted, but a suspicious blush appeared on his ears.

She smiled and took two steps back, performing an awkward bow: "This humble woman takes her leave. Tomorrow I will brew a pot of fine tea to please the general."

As she turned around, Ji Xiaosong didn't see the golden light that flashed in Si Di's eyes as he stared at her back.
