C30 (1/2)
Yun Duan stretched out her hand again, and her small hand directly held onto the man's hand, blocking his gaze as he looked at the tea cup. ”Say something!”
Siyan Qingjun helplessly looked at the small hand in front of him. It was a bit cold, and his fingers were slender and sleek, but not delicate.
”I already told you the answer!” She took her hand away from Yun Duan's and said, ”I am only a commoner. I hope that the three kings do not force me!”
”…”
Yun Duan raised her head to look at the sky. She was about to explode.
Roast meat, roast meat, or she'll go crazy.
He caught a few fish and skinned them in front of Siyan Qingjun. Then, he took a small gazelle and tore off their skin along with the blood. The sound of the dagger stabbing into their bones made their scalps tingle.
Siyan Qingjun only slightly frowned, slowly sipping his tea.
Yun Duan grunted angrily as her dagger made a loud noise. She pulled out her internal organs and threw them on the river bank. Fresh blood dripped from her body. After she finished cooking the meat, she started a fire to roast it.
There was a clay pot simmering in the small bonfire nearby. Although several fish had been killed, only one was used to make the soup and the rest had been thrown on the riverside along with the inner organs of the small gazelle. Blood flowed freely.
After the meat was done roasting, she turned to look at Si Yan Qing Jun, ”Do you want to eat it?”
Shiyan Qingjun shook his head. Yun Duan turned his head back. If she wasn't going to eat it, then so be it. She ate it all by herself.
After drinking the soup and eating the meat, the fragrance of the meat filled the quiet little bamboo house. Yun Duan bit at the meat dejectedly. What should she do now? It had been almost two months and she was going to go crazy with anxiety if this continued.
That night, Yun Duan stood in front of the door and looked at it, then said, ”Mist king, please help me. I will give you anything you want!”
Yun Duan sighed slightly, ”Actually, I know that you do not covet these things. However, I do not know what you really want. As long as you say it, I will do my best, alright?”
No matter what, as long as the Misty Lord could help, she would do everything she could to get what he wanted.
After a long while, the person in the cubicle finally spoke up in a slow and gentle voice, ”Third King, you shouldn't force me!”
”…”
Yun Duan clenched her teeth as she walked to the bedside and fell down with a thud. She was at her wit's end now and had no other choice.
He slept soundly the whole night. When he woke up in the morning, both his eyes were red. The sun shone in from outside the window, reflecting the clouds and mist. The colors were really beautiful, but the clouds did not have the mood to appreciate it.
She walked over and saw that the man was holding a teapot in his hand. His slender and strong fingers were white and beautiful, and he had a long and strong look to them. Yun Duan took a deep breath.
”Third King, I'm leaving today. Do you still want to stay here?”
Yun Duan was stunned. Her gaze was fixed on the man's slightly drooping head. She opened her mouth and asked in a somewhat quiet and hoarse voice, ”Why are you leaving?”
”I will only delay the three kings' time here. If I leave, the three kings will naturally have no more thoughts!”
”…”
It seemed like she was annoyed with this person, so he didn't want to stay in the same place as her anymore.
Yun Duan laughed softly. It was a bit bitter and weak. Forget it. No matter how much she tried, she would never agree to it.
”No need, you don't have to leave!”
Yun Duan squinted at the sky. The fog covered her line of sight, but all she could see was white. Her heart was empty, and she was very disappointed.
How could he compete with his current state? Even if he managed to get that seat, how could he sit there for long?
Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time.
”There is no need for you to make things difficult for me. I will leave now. Please forgive me for bothering you for the past few days!”
Si Yan Qing Jun tightened his grip on the teapot, his voice calm. ”No problem!”
The journey out of Cloud Valley was quick. He had familiarized himself with the terrain in the past two months and chose the shortest way out of the valley.
Yun Duan looked at the horse carriage parked by the side. It wasn't the horse that had come. She slightly pursed her lips. Although no one had appeared beside her, at least she knew that there was someone following her. At least they weren't alone.
The journey back to the Myriad Dawn Palace was smooth and without any danger or delay. It was just that she did not manage to invite the Misty King. The hand that was driving the carriage was a little stiff, so she did not know how to explain it to the busy road.
It took twelve days to get back.
Yun Duan felt that she had lost a lot of weight and had lost a lot of weight. She had dark circles under her eyes, and she was very sleepy and hungry.
Qin Ni and Qiong Ying, who had received the letter long ago, were waiting at the door of the Flowing Cloud Pavilion. When they saw the approaching clouds, they quickly went up to greet them.
”Master!”
Yun Duan waved his hand, ”I want to take a bath!”
”Yes sir!”
