Chapter 438: The Maiden Push Open The Door! (1/2)

Li Muyang turned around to see the little servant of Song Chenxi, Little star, scampering over, panting.

“Young master Muyang, Young master Muyang—don't go, please don't go—-” Little Star dashed over and grabbed onto Li Muyang's arm.

Li s.h.i.+nian, with her eyebrows raised, stomped over to forcibly drag Little Star's hand away from Li Muyang.

Little Star had the temper of a child. She shot a defiant glance a Li s.h.i.+nian and again reached out to hug Li Muyang's arm, but found that Li s.h.i.+nian had already wrapped her arm around Li Muyang's.

“Hmph.” Little Star grunted, and had to forget about it.

“I don't won't to go, but they forbid me to go in, and I have no other choice.” Li Muyang pointed to the doorman and said with a smile.

“Hmph.” Little Star once again grunted at the doormen, who looked extremely afraid of her. They greeted her with a smiling face.

She then turned to Li Muyang and urged, “Young master Muyang, don't go, okay? Miss knows that you will come over these two days, and told Little Moon and I to take turns to check the door. It so happens that it is Little Star's turn now but if Young Master Muyang left, then Miss will certainly blame me. Miss will be sad, Little Star will also be sad. Young Master Muyang, don't go, okay? Miss has been waiting for you.”

Li Muyang glanced at Li s.h.i.+nian who raised her head, saying: “You decide yourself, why are you looking at me?”

Li Muyang nodded, “then I have to trouble Little Star to lead the way.”

“Hmph, I knew you'd go back.” Li s.h.i.+nian grumbled in a disdainful tone of voice.

“———”

“Get out of the way, Young master Muyang is a special guest of Miss, do you dare to intercept?” Little Star scolded.

“Yes, yes.” The doormen bowed their head apologetically. “Miss Little Star, this is our duty. We had no choice.”

Under the leaders.h.i.+p of Little Star, Li Muyang finally stepped into the Song family's residence, and finally saw how many people doted on Song Chenxi in the Song family.

According to the usual practice of prestigious families, the East courtyard in the center of the mansion was reserved for the head of the family. The east was the direction of where the sun rises and the where the auspicious purple air comes from. It was firstly to show respect and love to the head of the house and also had the meaning that the head of the house will guard the East and keep the family safe and peaceful.

Pa.s.sing through the rockery and pavilion, the pond and garden, the courtyard where Song Chenxi lived in was the most central location in the East.

The Song family's residence was more luxurious and extravagant than the Lu residence. Many details were original and creative, which reflected its literary reputation of 'Imperial library'.

Song Chenxi stood by the courtyard door, holding a beautiful golden hand warmer, while Little Moon was closely behind her carrying the Dragon's blood lamp. She was absolutely not allowing Song Chenxi to step outside the illumination range of the Dragon's blood lamp.

Li Muyang seemed to have sensed something, and shot a glance at the Dragon's blood lamp.

That Dragon's blood lamp gave no reaction at the beginning. But now drops of dragon blood was frantically jumping about in the gla.s.s shade, struggling, as if wanting to break out.

Soon, they gradually quieten and calmed down.

They no longer leaped about, no longer struggled, and the dragon's blood was no longer boiling.

The light dimmed and went out, and the golden brilliance that shrouded Song Chenxi faded at once.

“Ah—-” Little Moon cried out, looking at the Dragon's blood lamp in her hand, “The dragon's blood lamp has extinguished, Dragon's blood lamp has extinguished——Is it not said that it will not extinguish for thousands of years? How could it be extinguished? Is there no oil?”

“Dragon's blood lamp burns dragon blood, there is still dragon's blood in it, what do you want oil for?” Little Star reacted more appropriately, scampered over to support Song Chenxi and urged, “Miss, let's go back quickly. It's cold outside, your body may not be able to bear it.”

“Okay—” Song Chenxi said reluctantly. Her face had gone paler, her body was s.h.i.+vering and she could not even speak clearly. It was painful for a frail girl to be thrown from a hot summer into the cold winter.

Li Muyang knew it was because of him that the dragon blood inside of the lamp was no longer angry, no longer boiling. If it was not boiling, it will not emit heat. Song Chenxi would not be able to endure the piercing wind and icy cold temperature.

Li Muyang took a step forward and quickly grasped the small hand of Song Chenxi.

Song Chenxi widened her eyes.

Little star and Little Moon also stared with wide eyes.

Li s.h.i.+nian's eyes were the widest.

All of them stared at Li Muyang in disbelief, puzzled as to why he dared to do something so rude and arrogant——-It should be said that this was the Song residence, and Song Chenxi was the Young Miss of the Song family. No matter whether it was ident.i.ty or reputation, she was not someone that Li Muyang could touch. If any person of the Song family saw this, they would have killed Li Muyang on the spot.

“Brother——-“ Li s.h.i.+nian finally reacted, whispered, “Brother, what are you doing?”

Li Muyang looked at Song Chenxi, asking in a gentle voice, “Do you feel better?”

“Ah?” Song Chenxi's eyelashes fluttered, delicate little face t.i.tled upwards, staring at Li Muyang, who was a head taller than her. It was only then that she discovered that a warm stream of air was pa.s.sing out from the palm of Li Muyang, flowing around her body. Her frozen body had once again returned to its original condition. She was able to breathe freely, speak normally, and did not need help from others to walk freely——–of course, except for Li Muyang.

“You should feel better, right?” Li Muyang asked with a smile. Song Chenxi's hand was very small, but also very white. When he touched it, there was a chill coming from the bone, as if there were no warmth at all.

Song Chenxi nodded. “Much better. I can't even feel the cold now.”

As they stepped into the main hall, although there was no fire burning in the room it was still as warm as summer. Evidently, the Song family's cared for Song Chenxi in every possible way. There was a Qilin fire lamp hung at every corner of the house, releasing a warmth to protect Song Chenxi from the cold.

Li s.h.i.+nian pursed her lips. “Really extravagant.”

Li Muyang smiled and said to Song Chenxi. “Did Miss Song know that I was coming today?”

“Yes.” Song Chenxi nodded. “I know Gongzi Muayng received a challenge from the Old immortal of Still water sword school, and will have to go head to head against him on the Sword G.o.d square in a few days. If Gongzi Muayng does not break a promise then you will certainly come to fulfill the promise before the battle, so I told Little Star and Little moon to take turns to wait by the door.”

Li Muyang nodded and responded with a slight smile, thinking that this girl really was attentive and careful. Her frail appearance gave her a layer of natural protection.

“This is my sister Li s.h.i.+nian.” Li Muyang pointed to Li s.h.i.+nian.

“Sister s.h.i.+nian, I have heard a lot about you.” Song Chenxi performed an aristocratic bow to Li s.h.i.+nian. “Sister s.h.i.+nian, I have always wanted to meet you ever since you've come to Tiandu. But Chenxi's health is not too good and is always bedridden and can't travel, so I had to forget about such throughs.”

“Miss Song——” Li s.h.i.+nian also bowed back. Deep inside, Li s.h.i.+nian really didn't like Song Chenxi.
