Transmigrated into the Scum Female Consort - Chapter 57

Under the fervent gaze of everyone, the four-person supplies team walked toward the woods by the roadside.

Yun Chi took a moment to check the food in her storage space and formulated a plan.

Following the previous order, the four people proceeded: Yun Chi first passed items to Ye Xuejin, Ye Xuejin then to Shi Song, and finally to Zhou Qiyue, repeating their established ritual.

Through this one-for-one exchange, the large wooden bucket was soon piled high with thirty loaves of bread and thirty boxes of self-heating rice.

Yun Chi thought for a moment and put the thirty boxes of self-heating rice away, saving them for tomorrow.

Shi Song and Zhou Qiyue were stunned, watching the rice vanish.

They nervously looked at Ye Xuejin, wanting to ask but daring not to speak at this moment, afraid of disturbing the immortal.

Ye Xuejin understood and nodded toward them: “Do not panic. The immortal wishes to store them for us first.”

The two sighed in relief, but…

No one had eaten breakfast, and they had been traveling for most of the day. Eating just one loaf of bread probably wouldn’t be enough.

Yun Chi had, of course, thought of this, especially since the temperature had dropped today. She was thinking of taking out the large pot of Corn and Pork Rib Soup.

But that thing was huge. How could it pass through Ye Xuejin’s hands?

She really didn’t want to miss this chance to gain a reward, as the Pork Rib Soup was a first-time appearance. If she played this right, the payoff could be immense.

Ye Xuejin noticed the hint of difficulty in Yun Chi’s eyes, so she instructed Shi Song and Zhou Qiyue to carry the bucket back and distribute the bread to everyone first.

After the two left, she called out to Yun Chi: “Royal Consort?”

“I’m fine.” Yun Chi thought about it and still didn’t plan to let this opportunity slip.

She directly retrieved the large pot of Corn and Pork Rib Soup, placing it on the ground, then handed the remaining beef jerky to Ye Xuejin while silently wishing for a set of bowls, chopsticks, and a ladle.

Ye Xuejin took the beef jerky dazedly, but her gaze was fixed on the large pot.

While the self-heating rice required separate heating, this pot of Pork Rib Soup looked as though it had just been taken off the stove, steaming hot and filling the air with fragrance.

The Royal Consort’s divine power was truly astonishing.

After Yun Chi handed the bowl, chopsticks, and ladle to Ye Xuejin, another set appeared in her hand—another one-for-one exchange.

Only after achieving this did she voice her idea: “The ground here is not very level, and there’s a lot of dust. If we portion out the soup beforehand, it won’t be good to put on the ground…”

Ye Xuejin had recovered from her astonishment. Seeing Yun Chi’s apparent concern, she interrupted her: “The Royal Consort should just do whatever she plans to do; there is no need to worry about me.”

Yun Chi paused: “Then I’ll be direct. I will call everyone over shortly. Could you personally serve the soup for everyone?”

The rule of the cheat was that the item must pass through Ye Xuejin’s hands to trigger the reward. She believed her method should work.

However, she wasn’t sure if Ye Xuejin would be willing to personally serve soup to the common people. After all, people in ancient times were divided by rigid social classes, and a Royal Princess like Ye Xuejin, who was high and mighty since birth, might not be willing to lower herself.

That’s why she had laid the groundwork.

Ye Xuejin couldn’t help but smile: “Why not?”

“That’s great. Wait for me.” Seeing her agree, Yun Chi put away the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and turned to call the people.

“Wait a moment, Royal Consort.” Ye Xuejin quickly stopped her and whispered a few instructions.

Yun Chi’s eyes lit up. Truly worthy of being called the talented and beautiful Grand Princess; she is too good at manipulating people’s hearts.

Meanwhile, in the exile party.

When everyone saw only Shi Song and Zhou Qiyue return, carrying a large wooden bucket, they all stood up, craning their necks to look.

If they remembered correctly, the bucket had contained hot rice last time, with meat and vegetables.

After each person received a loaf of bread, they didn’t feel disappointed. Although it wasn’t filling, something was better than nothing, and the bread was soft, sweet, and even contained jam—it was delicious.

Soon, everyone finished their bread. Without Yu Lu needing to speak, they consciously gathered the wrappers.

This was the immortal’s rule; the remaining items had to be taken back.

Just then, Yun Chi jogged over.

“Where is Her Highness?” Yu Lu was startled to see her alone.

The others also peered behind Yun Chi. Yes, where is Her Highness? How could they leave Her Highness alone in the distance?

Yun Chi calmed her breathing and raised her voice: “Her Highness is fine. Her Highness was concerned that everyone wasn’t full and that the weather had turned cold, so Her Highness asked the immortal to bestow some hot soup to warm our bodies. The immortal agreed but posed one condition.”

She paused deliberately. Seeing everyone hanging on her every word, she continued as per Ye Xuejin’s instructions: “The divine being loves the people of the world. Only if Her Highness shows the immortal her resolve—her resolve to cherish her subjects—will the immortal bestow the hot soup upon us.”

Everyone’s eyes immediately filled with earnestness. And then? Did Her Highness succeed?

Seeing Yun Chi curve her lips, everyone became excited. Her Highness must have done it!

A kind and benevolent person like Her Highness is sure to cherish her people like her own children, and must have shown her resolve to the immortal.

Seeing that she had fully captured everyone’s attention, Yun Chi announced loudly: “Her Highness has succeeded! Everyone, follow me to drink soup and eat meat!”

“That’s wonderful! I knew Her Highness could do it!”

“Nonsense, that’s our Grand Princess!”

“Let’s go, soup and meat!”

Cheers erupted along the path. Everyone eagerly followed behind Yun Chi. Even though they hadn’t had the soup yet, their hearts were already warmed up.

Yun Chi smiled silently, quietly put away the wrappers, and strode forward.

When the group saw Ye Xuejin, they also saw the large pot in front of her, the steam rising from it, and they smelled the tempting aroma of meat drifting through the air.

Seeing this, Zhou Qiyue quickly stepped forward: “Your Highness, please rest. I will help everyone serve the soup.”

Ye Xuejin gently shook her head, looking at Yun Chi: “I have already discussed arrangements with the immortal. The Royal Consort will assist me. I wish to personally serve a bowl of soup to each of you.”

Her expression was serene, her eyes held a hint of a smile, and her clear, faint voice—that phrase, ‘I wish to personally serve a bowl of soup to each of you’—felt like the whisper of an immortal, sinking deep into everyone’s hearts.

Immediately, everyone’s gaze became fervent, and a warmth spread through their chests.

What person would not swear ultimate loyalty to such a Princess?

Yun Chi walked over, took the first bowl of soup from Ye Xuejin’s hand, and after handing it to Zhou Qiyue, a clean bowl and chopsticks logically appeared in her hand.

Ye Xuejin briefly met her gaze, calmly accepted the utensils, and continued serving soup.

Bowl after bowl, she handed them to every person.

Yun Chi couldn’t even describe her mood. This method actually worked!

She didn’t spare a thought for anything else; her mind was entirely focused on wishing, choosing, wishing again, choosing again.

Every time she handed a set of utensils to Ye Xuejin, she got a one-for-one exchange.

【Utensil Set sent out. Please choose your reward: One Utensil Set OR One Utensil Set】

Every time Ye Xuejin finished serving a bowl of soup and handed it over, the things Yun Chi wanted appeared in the reward options.

【One Bowl of Corn and Pork Rib Soup sent out. Please choose your reward: Two Bulletproof Vests OR…】

【One Bowl of Corn and Pork Rib Soup sent out. Please choose your reward: One Solar Charging Panel OR…】

It wasn’t until thirty bowls of soup had been served and the pot was exactly empty that the large reward selection text disappeared from Yun Chi’s sight.

At this moment, she was utterly ecstatic, her heart overflowing with joy, wanting to scream.

Who else! I mean, who else can do this!

Ye Xuejin caught a glimpse of Yun Chi’s permanently curved smile and couldn’t help but curve her own lips.

Seeing the Royal Consort happy, her heart, too, was unusually joyful.

If the Royal Consort could always be happy… happy staying by my side, I could also remain joyful forever.

While lost in thought, the person beside her leaned in, and a hot breath fell near her ear.

“Ye Xuejin, let me tell you, right now I can take out sixteen more electric batons, nineteen sets of bulletproof vests, and…”

Yun Chi quietly detailed her spoils of war, her voice barely containing her excitement.

Ye Xuejin smiled gently: “The Royal Consort is thoughtful. I will certainly thank you richly in the future.”

Yun Chi’s smile widened: “Then I’ll be waiting.”

Ye Xuejin’s eyes flickered, and she smiled too, her tone exceptionally soft: “Good. The Royal Consort should wait for me.”

Wait a long time, the longer the better…

After eating their fill, everyone spontaneously went to the river to wash their bowls and chopsticks, placing them together to wait for the immortal to retrieve them.

In the blink of an eye, the pot, bowls, ladle, and bucket all vanished cleanly. Only the aroma in the air reminded everyone that the incredibly fragrant Pork Rib Soup was not their imagination.

Her Highness the Grand Princess, like an immortal, loves the people of the Da Shao Kingdom, loving every single one of them.

Excluding Mu Er, everyone looked fervently at Ye Xuejin.

This is our Princess. We swear loyalty to Her Highness until death.

Perhaps due to overwhelming emotion, or perhaps because that bowl of hot soup was so heartwarming, everyone’s spirits remained high throughout the afternoon. They didn’t seem tired, talking and laughing until night fell.

In the evening, the exile party stopped in front of a boundary marker.

Yu Lu took out the map for confirmation, looked at the mountain range ahead, and turned to Ye Xuejin: “Your Highness, just ahead is the Southern Territory. At today’s speed, after tonight, we can reach the place of exile in seven days at most.”

Ye Xuejin nodded slightly: “If we pass through a town tomorrow, we will rest for a day before continuing the journey.”

Yu Lu looked hesitant: “According to the schedule, we must reach the place of exile within twenty days. Resting for a day may cause a delay.”

“I have my own arrangements. Just follow my orders.” Ye Xuejin said, subtly glancing at the person beside her.

“Yes.”

To the side, Shi Niang hesitated but couldn’t hold back, lowering her voice: “Since Your Highness does not wish to arrive on schedule, why not use the excuse of avoiding assassins to remain in the Southwest?”
