"What's wrong?" Shen Lingyun glanced at her and looked up at the bright sunny sky. "With such great weather, don't tell me you're sick."
"Of course not." Su Qingwen rubbed her nose. "I just sneezed. Maybe someone's thinking about me."
As she said that, she looked around the surroundings with a surprised look in her eyes. Oh my, she'd never seen such a large horse - ranch in modern times. It was wonderful. Later, she'd gallop merrily on horseback.
"The setting of this game is quite boring. There aren't any entertainment facilities. This horse - ranch is a great place I searched for a long time. Now I'm sharing it with you just like that. Don't you have any rewards for me?" The man in front suddenly leaned closer and gave Su Qingwen an ambiguous smile.
"Rewards? Why don't you just fly up to the sky and stand shoulder - to - shoulder with the sun? Since we're both players in this game, why not share resources?" Su Qingwen nudged his chest. "Don't get so close to me. After all, I'm a concubine of the emperor in this game."
"It's just a setting in the game. Only you take it seriously." Shen Lingyun snorted and put his hands behind his back, looking quite displeased.
"Come on, quickly find a horse for me. I'll show you the power of Chinese equestrian skills." Su Qingwen blinked her eyes and said quite proudly.
【System: It's not that I'm looking down on you, but do you really know how?】
"Of course not." Su Qingwen said shamelessly, spreading her hands. "But I'm good at talking big. Anyway, he can't do anything to me."
【System: Dear, there's a new side - mission. Find a peerless horse and give it to Huayueye.】
"Oh my god, why do I have to be such a sycophant? I'm here to have fun, but I still have to think about Huayueye?" Su Qingwen sighed, feeling extremely pitiful.
【System: First, he's your in - game husband. Second, he provides you with food and shelter. Third, this is a mission in the game. If you don't complete it, how can you clear the game?】
Fine, it's like three counts of guilt!
Su Qingwen's mouth twitched violently. She covered her forehead and said helplessly, "Okay, I get it, alright? I'll go find the peerless horse!"
【System: Honey, I'll help you match the mission. Wish you a smooth completion!】
"Shoot!" Su Qingwen held back her urge to curse. She frowned, feeling upset. This mission had really ruined her mood.
"Wait, what were we just talking about? I was going to show you my equestrian skills, but even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. If I want to perform well, I must find a good horse. Don't be stingy. Introduce some to me." Su Qingwen showed a flattering smile and directly grabbed Shen Lingyun's sleeve.
There was a faint fragrance on her body, a mixture of the smell of flowers and soapberries, which made people feel refreshed. Shen Lingyun's face suddenly blushed, and he turned his head away embarrassedly.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Are you not willing?" Su Qingwen felt a bit annoyed when he didn't answer for a long time. She nudged him.
Only then did Shen Lingyun come back to his senses. He rolled his eyes at her helplessly. "Come on, I'm not a horse - breeder. How would I know? Well, I'll take you around the stable. You can just pick one you like."
"Fine." Su Qingwen pouted. Right now, this was the only option.
She followed Shen Lingyun into the stable. Goodness, the overwhelming smell of horse manure almost made her faint. What a mess! The smell was so overpowering.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Couldn't they just sweep it?
"Uncle Wang has a hard time raising horses here every day. Where does he have time to clean? If you can't stand the smell, I'll just find one for you casually." Shen Lingyun said helplessly when he saw her suffering.
"No." Su Qingwen shook her head. This was her mission, to find a super - awesome peerless horse and then give it to Huayueye.
I have to say, the horses here were really good. Their coats were smooth and shiny, and they looked extremely good - looking. Not to mention, each horse was full of energy.
"So cute!" Su Qingwen was almost dazzled by the choices. But how could she find a peerless horse just by looking at their appearances? That would be a pipe dream.
【System: Maybe you can ask others for help. At this rate, you'll never find a peerless horse.】
Indeed, her current efficiency was really too low. She was here to have fun. It didn't seem right to waste all her time on this.
"Just now, where is that Uncle Wang you mentioned? Does he know where there's a peerless horse?" Su Qingwen turned to ask the man following her.
"What do you want from me?" An emaciated old man walked over. His hair was gray, and there was a hint of fortitude in his eyes. He walked quickly, looking in good health.
Su Qingwen listened to his accent and couldn't help thinking that she'd met an old man from Tianjin.
"Are you Uncle Wang?" Su Qingwen smiled politely and quickly ran over. "I'm looking for a peerless horse. Can you help me?"
"Peerless horse? All the horses here are fine steeds. They can travel a thousand li a day without any problem." Uncle Wang lifted his chin and said quite confidently.
"But even so, there must be some that are better than others, right?" Su Qingwen scratched her head anxiously. She wasn't stupid. If she presented so many horses to Huayueye, wouldn't he scold her to death?
"Well..." Uncle Wang looked up and paced back and forth on the ground twice. It seemed that he really remembered something. Then he clapped his hands. "I remember. There really is one like you described. Come and take a look."
As he said that, he led Su Qingwen to the very end of the stable. There was a small brown - red horse here. Its eyes were big and bright, and its coat was smooth and soft. It was really good - looking.
However, this horse clearly wasn't fully grown. It was less than half the size of the others. If this was a peerless horse, people would probably laugh their heads off.
"Uncle Wang, don't make fun of me. How could this be a peerless horse?" Su Qingwen forced a smile and looked at Uncle Wang with some embarrassment.
"You girl, why don't you listen? Am I the one raising these horses, or are you? To be honest, this is a peerless horse. Oh, and it's also a blood - sweating horse. Don't be ignorant." Uncle Wang rolled his eyes at her. "If you don't want it, that's fine. I can't force you."
【System: Honey, you should really think it over. After you complete the mission, you'll get points.】
At this moment, the system was still putting pressure on her. Su Qingwen covered her forehead with difficulty, feeling extremely conflicted.
