Chapter 439: Slip Drug Into The Soup! (1/2)

“Do you like it?” Li Muyang asked aloud.

“Yes.” Song Chenxi gently stroked the paper with her fingertips. The painting of the young girl was vivid and lifelike, like it was a real person.

Her thin eyebrows, her bright and clear eyes, her lips that curved back in a gentle smile, and that frail but charming expression———

It was another Song Chenxi.

“I'll give it to you.” Li Muyang smiled.

“Thank you.” Song Chenxi beamed. “I will certainly keep it well. As long as I am alive, I will look at it everyday. But——”

Li Muyang interrupted her, “doesn't matter. You will live. You will certainly live well. But also don't live too long, just to around the age of your grandpa right now. When a girl is old, she will get very old.”

“Okay.” Song Chenxi nodded again. “I'll certainly work hard.”

Li Muyang cast a glance at Li s.h.i.+nian. “I still have other things to do, I will not disturb Miss Song anymore. I'll see each of you again.”

“Ah, so quick? I haven't invited you to a cup of tea yet.”

“Don't worry about it, the next time I visit, I will try the tea of the Song residence.”

“Little Star will see you to the door.”

“Thank you Miss Little Star.”

With that, Li Muyang walked towards the outside with Li s.h.i.+nian behind him.

Thinking that Li Muyang will face the old immortal of Still water sword school in just a few days, and that it boded ill rather than well for him, she thought that they most likely would not have a chance to see each other again.

Her heart was all of a sudden filled with pain and she couldn't help yelling out, “Li Muyang——”

Li Muyang stopped, turned to look at Song Chenxi and asked: “Miss Song is there something else?”

“You can call me Chenxi.”

Li Muyang was taken aback for a moment, then called over her with a smile, “Chenxi.”

The corners of Song Chenxi's mouth were slightly raised, “I said before, since you helped me draw this painting , I will certainly return this gift.”

“There is no need.”

“No, there must be.” Song Chenxi's voice was soft but incredibly firm. “But I will give you the gift when you return victorious.”

She tightened her little hand, “So, please be sure to come back safely.”

Li Muyang couldn't help chuckling, “Okay. I'll definitely come back safe. Even if I can't come back safely, I will certainly find a way to escape safely.”

“I believe in you. You will triumph.” Song Chenxi stated.

After saying farewell to the frail and charming young Miss of the Song family, Li Muyang and Li s.h.i.+nian walked on the street side by side.

Although following behind them was a horse drawn carriage, both had no interest of taking the carriage. They wanted to walk, walk along the both familiar and unfamiliar streets of Tiandu.

Crunch——

Treading across the snow, their boots made crisp and melodious noises.

While walking merrily, Li Muyang glanced at the scenery on both sides of the street. “I have been in this city for a long time, but I am still completely unfamiliar with everything.”

“This is a city without a sense of belonging.” Li Muyang stated softly. “You must be careful everyday, it's as if everyone in this city will suddenly jump out and bite you. You don't feel safe, and you don't have a sense of belonging.”

“Yes,” Li s.h.i.+nian sighed, “Brother, I have never been so tired. It never occurred to me before that I would go through what I am going through now. I just want to be safe and live happily in Jiangnan. That's our home, that's where we belong. I like Jiangnan, I don't like Tiandu.”

“It's all my fault. If it hadn't been for me, you wouldn't have suffered so much and been in so much danger. When we were in Jiangnan, you were the happiest and freest. Everyone liked you, and everyone knew that you will have a good future. But because of me, you came to the unfamiliar capital, bear what my family has to face——you are still so small and still just a child. It's must be hard for you.”

“Brother——”

Li Muyang grasped his little sister's icy cold hand, and promised in an incomparably firm voice. “One day, we will return to Jiangnan. I will take you back to Jiangnan, we will be like how it was before. Our family will live happily in Jiangnan, live in our old house and live the same life as before.”

“Good.” Li s.h.i.+nian nodded seriously. “Brother, I believe you, I believe you can defeat that old monster, I believe you can take us back to Jiangnan.”

The brother and sister shared a glance, a tacit understanding spreading between them.

Li s.h.i.+nian stretched out her hand to flick the snowflakes off the shoulders of Li Muyang. “Brother, you were often sick when you were young, I am your Little sister, but I am more like your Older sister.”

“Yes.” Li Muyang grinned. “Big Sister s.h.i.+nian.”

“At that time I thought you were too pitiful, and you were always falling ill, it was as if——you would leave us at any moment. At that time I made up my mind that I would take care of you and protect you, and not allow anyone to bully you.”

“Yes. You did it.” Li Muyang nodded, “That's what you've always done.”
