C28 (1/2)
Ning Ying slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at this girl who looked like a fairy under the moonlight.
Ye Zichen was confused for a moment.
Outside the wall, a black shadow was borrowing the moonlight to write on a small piece of paper: West Hill of Fengbai Garden. The moonlight shines in the sky as Miss Qiao and Prince Ning sing a song to each other over their wine.
After writing, he tied the piece of paper to an owl, pointed at the city, and made a flying motion.
The owl shook its head, then spread its wings and flew away.
”Miss Qiao, there seems to be something on your mind. Can you tell this one about it?” Ning Xi's long hair was also messed up by the wind.
Qiao Liangjin could not bear to see it like this, so she approached Ning imprint.
Ning Ying's breath caught in his throat as he saw a slender jade-like hand approach his face, brushing away the hair on his face. The fragrance of crabapple blossoms wafted into his nose.
”It's fine if women have long hair, but men like you have long hair. ”But Prince Ning, you're actually quite good-looking as well.” Qiao Liangjin rubbed her nose.
”Since Miss Qiao feels that I am not bad looking, then why don't we take today's moonlight as our personal date?”
”Since Prince Ning feels that he's not bad, why not make an open and honorable visit and propose to him?”
Ning Xi paused for a moment, lightly clapping his hands. ”Miss Qiao is smarter than I thought.”
Qiao Liangjin smiled and made a inviting gesture: ”It's getting late, I should get some rest. ”Prince Ning, this way, please.”
Ning Ying didn't linger and jumped off the window sill. He walked straight towards the wall, waving his hands casually. ”Miss Qiao, just wait for me to come and propose marriage.”
Qiao Liangjin jumped off the windowsill and closed the window.
”So many lunatics.” Qiao Liangjin said without thinking. She then got onto the bed and threw out the fox who had occupied half of his bed.
The fox had been fine a few days ago and had only slept by his pillow. For the past few days, it had been like a child that had taken over half of his bed. She didn't have much love for it, so why did she give it food and share half of the bed with it?
The little fox rolled on the ground a few times and reluctantly squatted down under the bed.
This Qiao Liangjin was too heartless. She looked so cute and smart, but why was she so heartless to him?
The little fox's stomach suddenly tightened and it chirped. It could only run out to the toilet by itself.
The mountain was so dark. Even if there was moonlight, it wouldn't stop him from being afraid of the dark!
He moved along the wall and arrived under a tree, happily resolving the problem in his stomach.
The little fox walked to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard and then silently breathed in and out. As he opened his mouth slightly, a red inner core floated out from his mouth.
Under the moonlight, the color of the inner pellet became more and more bright.
”Help, help!” The little fox suddenly heard a little girl's voice coming from outside the wall.
The little fox was startled and quickly swallowed the inner pellet back into his stomach. He turned around and jumped onto the wall.
A little girl with a jade carved face crawled on the ground and stretched her arms towards it with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.
The little fox hurriedly ran to the little girl's side and nudged her with the tip of its nose.
The little girl's eyes were dull as she mechanically repeated the two words, ”Save me.”
The little fox was somewhat anxious. It turned around and ran back into the house.
Qiao Liangjin had already fallen asleep. The little fox took a deep breath. It knew how terrifying it would be if it woke Qiao Liangjin up. It was already prepared to be skinned alive.
”Ka Cha”, he bit Qiao Liangjin's exposed arm.
Qiao Liangjin opened her eyes in anger and roared: ”Stupid fox! ”How dare you bite me!”
The little fox raised its paws and covered its eyes. However, its mouth was in a mess as it screamed anxiously.
Qiao Liangjin pulled away her quilt, grabbed hold of the little fox, and walked to the round table. She lit a candle, placed the little fox on the table, and warned: ”You better tell me what's going on, otherwise I'll let you know what is worse than death.”
The little fox used its claws to point outside as it continuously circled around.
Qiao Liangjin sighed and tapped the little fox's forehead.
A little boy sat on the table and called out anxiously.
”Speak human words!” Qiao Liangjin rolled her eyes.
Yu Sheng cleared his throat before saying, ”Outside, there's a girl. Save her.”
Qiao Liangjin crossed her arms and sneered: ”Why should I?”
Ah? He even needed a reason to save someone? The little fox was dumbfounded.
He shook Qiao Liangjin's sleeve anxiously. He couldn't possibly say that the little girl was pretty good-looking, right?
The corner of Qiao Liangjin's mouth lifted as she asked, ”Isn't she pretty good-looking?”
Ah? Did she know again? The little fox's face instantly turned red.
Qiao Liangjin scratched the little fox's nose and then flew out.
Not long later, he carried the little girl into the room.
Closing the window, he placed the little girl on the bed.
She took her pulse and frowned.
As expected, he wasn't human. This was not surprising. Why would there be a human girl in this desolate mountain range?
He took out the golden needle from his bag and inserted it near the little girl's heart.
