620 My Sangsang Could Not Be So Cute (2/2)
Sangsang was occasionally jealous and angry in recent days. According to his previous disposition, Ning Que could not endure it for long. But now he did nothing but smile, no matter how angry Sangsang pretended to be.
Because he thought that it was very cute.
Sangsang looked very fresh and endearing with short hair. Her two white front teeth looked simple and cute, and she was charming and adorable when she pretended to be angry. She was lovely when she frowned in her sleep and when she held two long chopsticks when eating. She was always so lovely whether she was doing something or not.
Ning Que was very happy and reached out his hand to rub her hair into a mess. He asked, ”My Sangsang could not possibly be so lovely. Tell me now, which siren from which cave are you?”
”I am the Daughter of Yama, so I am indeed a siren.”
Sangsang looked at him and said seriously, her hands grabbing the edge of the quilt and her eyes wide open. However, she could not help giggling at last, appearing extremely cute.
An awful crow's cry came from outside the window.
Ning Que patted her cool little face and said softly, ”I'll go out to take a look. You can sleep first.”
Sangsang said, ”Be careful.”
Ning Que nodded, opened the door and went out into the courtyard. As dusk fell, the setting sun slowly sank in the west. Red light shone between Chaoyang City and thick clouds in the sky, paintng the world bright red.
He looked up at the thick clouds above his head, looking like they were made of flames, shook his head and left.
Sangsang put on a fur coat and climbed out of the quilt. She walked over to the window and prepared to cover the light coming through it, when she suddenly caught sight of the flaming clouds. The little hand pulling on the curtain stopped.
Ning Que did not know what the clouds represented, but he knew that the phenomenon was related to Sangsang. Sangsang did not know what the clouds meant either, but she knew that they might mean her leaving, or even death.
Just like the previous joke – Sangsang could not be so cute.
Sangsang just wanted to show her loveliest side in the days before her death. She hoped that she could leave behind some beautiful memories rather than sad ones for Ning Que.
The whole world was an enemy.
Ning Que was very clear that if they hid in Chang'an, they would have long been found and killed by the court of the Tang Empire. Fortunately, they had hid in Chaoyang City.
Yuelun Kingdom's government was extremely inefficient. The common people believed in Buddhism sincerely, and though they dreaded and hated the Daughter of Yama, no one could overcome their lazy nature and help their government, and the Buddhist Sect, to search everywhere.
This was why they could manage to hide in the city for an entire winter. However, since a warning sign had emerged, perhaps now was really the time for them to leave.
Though Ning Que desired to confirm whether Big Black Horse and the carriage were safe, he did not go out of the city.
He went directly to a garden behind the palace. Walking along the wall of the White Tower Temple, he went to the side door of the palace. Hiding in the dimness of night, he observed and listened in silence for a long time, making the final supplement to his plan.
Then he walked around in the streets of Chaoyang, holding the shabby Big Black Umbrella, wrapped tightly by a piece of old cloth. In this way, he could sense the orientation of the powerhouses' auras.
