Chapter 75 - 75. The Mysterious White Clothed Woman I (1/2)
75
Third person POV
Night at inn*
Weisheng stared at the ceiling while lying on his bed. He was afraid that after the time they spent together, it would be hard for Hong er and him to separate, especially Hong er. He was worried that the impact towards Hong er would be too big and it would affect her mental and personality.
Then he turned his head and stared at the wall that separated their room. He had to follow the plan so he could marry Hong er and protect her by his side. But the plan would be very painful for Hong er, he hoped to make a few good memories between them for these 2 weeks. Weisheng sighed and closed his eyes to sleep.

Morning*
Hong er woke up and quickly dressed up as she was excited to explore the city. After she was done with dressing up, she went out of her room and looked at Weisheng's room. She saw Qiyi and Qier stood in front of the door guarding the room. Meiyun and Huayun was resting in Hong er's room as they had guarded Hong er and Weisheng's room in the midnight.
Qiyi and Qier rested when Meiyun and Huayun was guarding the room, at 2 AM, they changed shift for guarding their master. Qiyi and Qier knew that Hong er had a habit wake up early, but they didn't know that she would wake up this early even though there was no morning practice or anything else. They greeted her in a low voice as their master was still asleep.
Since Weisheng's power was darkness, he is a night owl and not a morning person but because of the usual morning practice, he had forced himself to wake up and practice. If Weisheng didn't have morning practice, he would wake up at 8 AM or 9 AM but that rarely happens too as he had to be a role model to his people so he had to wake up early and does his job as an emperor. That's why his eyes are always dark and his expression is really bad everyday especially in the morning.
Hong er asked them using hand signal.
Hong er:
Qiyi & Qier:
Hong er:
Qiyi:
Hong er:
Qier:
Hong er: ( Ah Tong and Ah Xi)
Qiyi:
Hong er:
Hong er went to the inn with Ah Tong and Ah Xi following her in the dark. At first Xu Tingfeng insisted on giving Hong er 10 shadow guards but after Hong er got stronger and stronger, plus she had Meiyun and Huayun beside her, Hong er asked Xu Tingfeng to just give her Ah Tong and Ah Xi. The reason for her to choose Ah Tong and Ah Xi among 10 shadow guards was because they were the strongest in the group and they were closer to Hong er than the others.
Hong er saw a teenage boy that sat behind the counter, the teenage boy's age was around 18 or 19 years old. Hong er went to the counter and knocked on the counter to call the teenage boy. The teenage boy immediately stood up and greeted Hong er.
Teenage boy: ” What can I help you, Miss?”
Hong er: ” Brother, is breakfast done?”
The teenage boy was surprised by Hong er's gentle and soft voice, but he couldn't see her face as she covered her face with two layer of veil. His heart became calmer as he heard her gentle voice early in the morning, he apologetically spoke.
Teenage boy: ” I apologize Miss, but the breakfast will be served at 6 AM.”
Hong er: ” Ohh~, it is fine. Then could you please tell me a food stall or restaurant that had opened?”
The teenage boy looked at the clock that was hanging on the wall and think for a while.
Teenage boy: ” 4 AM, hhmm, ah! If go straight from the inn and turn right at the corner, there is an old man selling buns there. It is a small food stall and people rarely buy his buns but I can guarantee Miss that it is delicious.”
