162 Untitled (1/2)
Lord Yuan Bao stood there for a long time…
Meng Fuyao nearly vomited blood.
Wasn't that copying her wrapping her fingers around Xuanyuan Yun by the throat and forcefully transferring inner energy to him that day? That legendary, ”Meng Fuyao wins the fight against Xuanyuan Yun and is so delighted that she refuses to leave the stage”, rumor, reenacted hamster-style?
Seeing Lord Yuan Bao with its head raised and an arrogant expression on its face, Meng Fuyao too raised her head and made a noise, reaching out to flatten the hamster.
Zhangsun Wuji blocked her, his eyes glinting as he laughed. ”Fuyao, humans shouldn't have the same kind of wisdom as Yuanbao…”
Meng Fuyao racked her brains on ways to seek revenge as she glared at Lord Yuan Bao, who was returning to its owner without fear.
His lightning-white front teeth were half colored black, and it was clear that it symbolized broken teeth.
The rascal was copying her missing tooth!
'Damnit!' She could no longer tolerate it, it copied it with such ugliness that she couldn't ignore it anymore.
Meng Fuyao got up furiously and roared, ”How dare you, go and die, you hamster demon!” Following that, she flung a pillow at him, hitting Lord Yuan Bao with a 'ping'.
Lord Yuan Bao scampered away, laughing at her with its ”half tooth”.
Beside her, Zhangsun Wuji smiled and said, ”Oh, so this is what it looks like when one's tooth falls off, it's rather pretty…” He reached out a hand and pressed Meng Fuyao down, saying, ”You still have a match tomorrow, rest early.”
Meng Fuyao's tearful face was pressed down. 'Damnit.' Installing her fake tooth was completely useless, the hamster copied it so well, even getting the ridges where it broke off exactly the same!
She muttered, ”One day I'll skin you alive and sew embroidery on it…” She closed her eyes heavily, unsure why she felt even more exhausted despite having slept earlier, as though something in her body was slowly washing over her core, making her feel at ease and drowsy. She fell backward onto the pillow, her words incomprehensible as she murmured, ”I'll get back at you guys tomorrow, Zhangsun Wuji, don't you dare sleep here…” Before she could finish her sentence, she fell asleep.
Zhangsun Wuji smiled as he tucked her into the blanket, scrutinizing her now-thinner face. Finally, he called Lord Yuan Bao over, and the hamster sprinted over, his jet black eyes glistening brightly as he leaped onto Zhangsun Wuji's body, rubbing against it…
”You did very well,” Zhangsun Wuji praised as he stroked Lord Yuan Bao's smooth white fur. ”Keep doing that from now on.”
'From now on? There's still a next time?' Lord Yuan Bao's eyes widened. 'He has got to be kidding, the suffering hasn't ended?' It still had to continue teasing Meng Fuyao? Then why didn't he say so earlier? It had already utterly and completely offended Meng Fuyao, this time it was finished…
”She hasn't a stable personality, whoever fancies her would never live well,” Zhangsun Wuji laughed, ”It's also difficult for me to be with her all the time, so I can only ask you of this favor.”
Lord Yuan Bao was in anguish. Why was it being sent to protect Meng Fuyao? Why wasn't Meng Fuyao the one being sent to protect it? Why couldn't it be it's master's lover, allowing him to protect it with his life? 'Ah, the earth-shakingly handsome one is over here, Master, why wouldn't you look at it carefully?'
Its master didn't have the time to look at it. Just like that, its master had fallen asleep while leaning against the bedside. Half his face reflected in the moonlight, his regal face looking considerably softer and relaxed as though it were a gentle wave against the shoreline or a slowly blooming lotus.
The next day when Meng Fuyao awoke, she felt extremely invigorated and refreshed, finally overcoming the most crucial period of lifting the sixth tier of Cleaving Nine Heavens, 'Daybreak'. It was most likely thanks to the effectiveness of Zong Yue's medicine, and although her internal injuries were not fully healed, she believed that as long as she didn't get into any accidents, she could battle under any condition. In her vigor, she excitedly reached out and grabbed, preparing to drag either Zhangsun Wuji or Lord Yuan Bao to practice her punches.
However, she only managed to grab air, and she opened her eyes only to realize that his royal highness was not there, how great, it was rare that he wasn't trying to take advantage of her. But then again, last night when he made her unconscious, there was no way of proving whether or not she was taken advantage of.
Lord Yuan Bao, on the other hand, was present, squatting in front of its own little bed and waving a white flag around with its head down. Meng Fuyao snorted, flicking its head as punishment before happily heading out the door.
While walking past the garden, she spotted Zong Yue picking flowers. Meng Fuyao suddenly remembered that Xuanyuan Yun had not left Tiansha after losing, instead waiting at the place she appeared every day and attempting to follow her.
However, apart from the guards that Tie Cheng brought along, Meng Fuyao still had the invisible guard Zhangsun Wuji. Xuanyuan Yun had tried twice but failed, and the closest he got was the one time when he followed until they were only two streets apart. But when he excitedly ran forward, he hit into a wall and on the wall was a drawing of a tortoise.
Xuanyuan Yun stared at the tortoise, his eyes reddening again.
That night, he slept right under the wall, a seemingly rich and pampered young master, actually slept out in the open against a dirty wall just like that, occasionally crawling up and staring at the little tortoise, He was also occasionally crawling up the wall and looking around at the lantern lights in the people's homes, as though hoping to be able to spot Zong Yue's lantern among the tens of thousands of lanterns.
Tie Cheng, who was responsible for ensuring Meng Fuyao's safety was watching from the shadows. It was rare that he expressed any feelings and actually came to tell Meng Fuyao. After listening, Meng Fuyao too sighed and ordered Tie Cheng to send a blanket over to Xuanyuan Yun.
