Chapter 398: Meeting (1/2)
When the lady boss bit on the golden leaf that Pei Qingfeng gave her, she realized that it was made from genuine gold. She was amazed and muttered, ”Oh my, what kind of people are here in the Desolate Region? Are they all so generous?”
When Pei Qingfeng arrived at the Pleasant Arrival Inn, the one who welcomed him was the disguised Ying Lan.
”This young master, are you staying at our inn or are you here to have a meal?” Ying Lan already guessed that Pei Qingfeng was here to look for her mistress. However, as the innkeeper, he couldn’t expose his disguise immediately.
”I am looking for someone.” Pei Qingfeng immediately started to describe Bai Luochu's facial features. After listening to the description, Ying Lan revealed an expression of sudden realization. ”I see. What a coincidence! She is currently living here. Please follow me, I will bring you to her.”
When Pei Qingfeng arrived, he was greeted by a peaceful scene.
Bai Luochu was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard as she looked up into the sky. Her spirited eyes seemed dull and her pupils weren’t focused. Perhaps she hadn’t been out in the sun for some time, her skin was pale to the point it looked a little translucent. She was much skinnier than before and Pei Qingfeng naturally attributed it to the lack of delicious food in the Desolate Region. After all, she would be regularly treated to meals by the princes in the capital city.
Pei Qingfeng could see nothing else but Bai Luochu. When he looked at her, his eyes revealed the pain in his heart and he wasn’t willing to blink. He was afraid that if he blinked, Bai Luochu would disappear from his sight once again.
Ying Lan was rather tactful as he immediately left after bringing Pei Qingfeng to Bai Luochu.
It was unknown if Pei Qingfeng's gaze was too passionate as Bai Luochu turned around to look at him. She stared quietly at Pei Qingfeng and a puzzled expression appeared on her face.
”Strange… Why can I feel Pei Qingfeng’s presence here?” Bai Luochu muttered softly. She just thought of him and he appeared before her. ”It seems like I am possessed.” Bai Luochu thought it was her misconception and she turned back to face the sky.
Pei Qingfeng had been looking at Bai Luochu, and with his acute senses, he was able to hear everything she said. He simply walked over and hugged Bai Luochu from behind. He whispered into her ear, ”Luoluo, you are not hallucinating. Neither are you possessed. I am really here.”
When Bai Luochu was hugged by Pei Qingfeng, her body froze. This was a presence that she was extremely familiar with as she had once carried him on her back from the Falling Cloud Mountain Range back to the capital city. It’s him! He’s here!!!
