A sickly fellow ridiculed by the entire army? I'll be the most beautiful woman in the barracks!

In the Zhao family mansion, Li Shishi and her sister were sitting in the courtyard, each holding a wristband-like object, carefully polishing it. After polishing, they adjusted the internal mechanism of the object, and by the end, fine beads of sweat had appeared on their foreheads.

After a while, the two sisters put down their items one after the other. They looked at each other and smiled. Li Shishi and her sister's fair faces were flushed with excitement.

"Sis, we finally made it!"

Li Weiwei grabbed Li Shishi's hand and shook it excitedly. Li Shishi smiled and nodded.

"Yes! It wasn't in vain that we spent these past few days working tirelessly on this research."

Li Weiwei's eyes were bright, and a feeling of eagerness rose in her heart. She looked at Li Shishi with anticipation.

"Sister, when our husband returns and sees our newly improved silent rusted arrows, he will surely be astonished."

A hint of pride appeared on Li Shishi's face, after all, it was something they had researched and improved for several days before they could make it.

Previously, the Silent Rust Arrow could only fire one arrow at a time, but now it can fire three arrows in quick succession, greatly increasing its practicality and attack power.

Suddenly, Li Weiwei, who had just been looking smug, suddenly looked worried.

"Sister, do you think my husband will be in danger on this trip? I haven't been able to sleep these past two nights; every time I close my eyes, all I see is my husband."

Upon hearing this, Li Shishi remained silent for a moment, then pulled Li Weiwei into her arms, gently stroking her hair and softly comforting her.

"Sister, there's no need to worry too much. Your husband is highly skilled in martial arts, and you've witnessed his extraordinary archery. He'll definitely be alright; he might even be back tomorrow!"

Feeling the gentle pressure of Li Shishi's caress on her back, Li Weiwei calmed down. She murmured to herself and nodded repeatedly, as if affirming Li Weiwei's words and comforting herself.

From Li Weiwei's unseen perspective, Li Shishi also wore a worried expression. She was just as worried about Zhao Daxuan's safety, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

This feeling of powerlessness is just like the feeling I had when my whole family was imprisoned and the men in my family were sentenced to beheading. I wanted to save them, but I couldn't even save myself. It was the same feeling of helplessness.

Just as the two sisters were embracing each other, seeking a sense of security, the Zhao family's front door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The two women were startled and jumped up, looking towards the door. Li Shishi instinctively reached out with her silent sleeve dart, about to press the launch button towards the door.

However, the next moment when she saw the figure appearing at the gate, she suddenly stopped her finger from pressing the launch switch, covered her mouth with both hands, widened her eyes, and her eyes instantly filled with crystal tears.

Li Weiwei, standing beside her, was even more excited. She gasped and tears welled up in her eyes. She then ran excitedly toward the man who had appeared at the Zhao family's gate. As she ran, the tears that streamed down her face fell to the ground like pearls from a broken string.

Li Weiwei crashed into the man's arms, tightly hugging his waist with both hands, resting her head on his chest, and rubbing against him as if trying to merge herself into his body.

"My love, you're finally back! I was so scared... so scared... Waaaaah..."

Li Weiwei could no longer suppress her emotions and kept sobbing, incoherently expressing her worries.

Zhao Daxuan hugged Li Weiwei and patted her back gently to help her calm down. He felt both sorry for her and amused.

"It's only been a few days, and you're already this worried? How little do you trust me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Weiwei playfully punched Zhao Daxuan's chest and said shyly, "No, that's not it! But I just couldn't help it!"

Zhao Daxuan pinched Li Weiwei's chubby cheeks and said with a smile, "Silly girl, have more faith in me in the future. These little troubles are nothing to me. Your husband will only get stronger and stronger."

It was unclear whether Li Weiwei had listened to him or not. She closed her eyes, leaned against his chest, and kept nodding, reluctant to leave.

Zhao Daxuan shook his head with a slight chuckle, looked up at Li Shishi, and said tenderly, "Shishi, have you missed me?"

Upon hearing Zhao Daxuan's question, Li Shishi pursed her lips and nodded heavily. The tears that had been welling up in her eyes could no longer be held back and flowed down. Large teardrops fell onto the ground in the yard, splashing up a spray of water.

Seeing this, Zhao Daxuan took Li Weiwei's hand, walked towards Li Shishi, and embraced both sisters.

After a long while, the two sisters calmed down and then, blushing, got up and pushed Zhao Daxuan away.

Li Weiwei blushed and looked at Zhao Daxuan, asking with a puzzled expression, "Why did you come back so soon, husband? It's earlier than I expected."

Zhao Daxuan waved his hand dismissively and said, "If there had been a faster mode of transportation, we would have been back long ago. This time, we spent three days in total, and two and a half of that was traveling. It's really infuriating."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a crazy idea popped into his mind: could the mechanical skills of the Li sisters be applied to a steam engine? If so, that would be incredible, perhaps changing the whole world!

I've been thinking about it, and I think I can talk to the two women about this topic when I have the chance.

But the most important thing right now is to fill his stomach; he could clearly hear Li Weiwei's stomach rumbling loudly across from him.

Zhao Daxuan raised his head, looked at Li Weiwei with amusement, and said, "Are you hungry? Let me show you my skills today and let you try my cooking again."

Li Weiwei smiled sweetly, took Zhao Daxuan's hand, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"Yes, yes, I haven't tasted your cooking for days!"

Li Shishi shook her head with amusement and followed the two into the kitchen.

Before setting off, Zhao Daxuan was worried that the two girls would go hungry, so he not only prepared a lot of dry food at home, but also specially instructed someone to send some raw meat every day.

Zhao Daxuan prepared a meal, making braised pork and boiled fish, both of which were delicious and visually appealing. Not only did the two women eat with gusto, but Zhao Daxuan also savored the meal.

After clearing away the dishes, it was time for a more in-depth conversation.

When Zhao Daxuan saw Li Shishi trying to sneak to the next room, he quickly grabbed her.

"Shishi, don't go! Tonight I'm going to make up for all the homework you missed the last two days."

Li Shishi tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't. Helplessly, she said, "Husband, Weiwei should go first tonight."

Zhao Daxuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile.

"Tonight, regardless of the order, how about we..."
