White Q-fragrant

The figure's arrival was always accompanied by a great sense of foreboding. Xie Lian sensed something and slowly looked up.

Ten steps away, a figure in white stood among countless floating phosphorescent flames, with a half-mask on his face giving him a sinister smile.

He said amiably, "Hello, Your Highness."

The moment the old father appeared, the atmosphere around him changed. Many will-o'-the-wisp lights flickered faintly, making the environment even more eerie.

But if they don't dance, it might not feel like a KTV scene.

Mo Qiuyan silently took two steps towards the pile of ghost fires to reduce his presence.

But if she didn't move, Bai Wuxiang might not notice her.

Mo Qiuyan could sense his unhappiness from more than ten meters away, and then she felt weak and her arms were powerless.

Hehe, Sealing Spirit Power plus Feeling of Weakness Package × 1

Can we try something different next time?

It's quite annoying.

Xie Lian noticed her abnormality, and although he was still afraid of Bai Wuxiang, he still stood in front of her.

He had no sword in his hand, so he had to use his hands as blades to block in front of him.

The two men confronted each other, but the winner was clear from their mentality.

Suddenly, Xie Lian forgot his fear, shouted, and slashed forward with a palm!

Lianlian, don’t hit me, you can’t win!

As expected, the opponent anticipated Xie Lian's move, got behind him first, and kicked him in the knee!

The next moment, Xie Lian felt something even more terrifying—a cold hand with five fingers spread out wide, covering the top of his head!

He screamed, and the hand exerted a little force and lifted his head and whole body up.

Xie Lian had no doubt that with the power of this thing, if these five fingers were to close together, they would be able to crush his skull directly, turning his head into a bloody mess of flesh and bones in an instant.

He had no doubt that Bai Wuxiang's next step after catching him would be to do this!

Xie Lian gasped for breath, thinking he was doomed, and squeezed his eyes shut.

Unexpectedly, the thing behind him had no intention of continuing to exert force. Instead, it restrained its murderous aura and sighed softly.

After this soft sigh, the other party remained silent for a long moment. In the dead silence, Xie Lian slowly opened his eyes.

The will-o'-the-wisp fires in the sky were dancing wildly in ecstasy, and each flame was a ghost watching the fun and laughing.

However, the numerous will-o'-the-wisps seemed to be frightened by something and did not dare to approach the two of them. Only one will-o'-the-wisps with an exceptionally bright flame hung above them, violently ramming into the person behind Xie Lian with its own flames.

I don't know what I'm doing, but no matter how I look at it, it's like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

Suddenly, Xie Lian’s body stiffened.

Bai Wuxiang actually hugged him.

Xie Lian knelt crookedly on the ground, held in a lifeless embrace by a pair of cold yet strong hands.

Bai Wuxiang sat down at some point and murmured, "Poor thing, poor thing. Your Highness, look at what you've become."

He murmured softly as he stroked Xie Lian's head, his movements gentle and compassionate, as if he were stroking a wounded puppy or his own seriously ill and dying child.

Under the moonlight, the half smiling face, which was both sad and happy, was hidden in the darkness, leaving only the half crying face, as if it was sincerely crying for Xie Lian.

(Could this be the origin of the name "old father"?)

Xie Lian shrank stiffly, motionless. The man in white behind him raised his finger and wiped the dirty mud off his face.

In his actions, Xie Lian actually felt a strange kind of kindness.

It was like being in the arms of my best friend or most familiar relative, and my shivering body miraculously warmed up a little.

Unexpectedly, in such a situation, the thing that gave him such kindness and warmth was such a strange thing.

Xie Lian let out suppressed sobs from his throat, and his trembling became even more intense.

The ball of ghost fire flew to his heart, as if trying to warm him, but it was not sure whether it could help him dispel the cold, so it did not dare to get close.

Bai Wuxiang helped him clean the mud that had gotten on him when he fell, and said, "Come over here."

Over there, Mo Qiuyan had quietly taken out a piece of talisman paper in just a few minutes, and when Mou Bai was threatening Xie Lian, he threw it directly at Xie Lian.

Xie Lian:?

Bai Wuxiang:? ?

Then there was a flash of light, and Xie Lian disappeared from the spot.

The teleportation talisman is a good thing!

Fortunately, I had stored some spiritual power in it before, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to use it.

Bai Wuxiang's hands were empty, he lowered his head and stared at the little ghost fire.

Old father: My son?! (bushi)

Xiao Huacheng: My wife?!

Bai Wuxiang was silent.

Bai Wuxiang was angry.

Bai Wuxiang clenched his fist.

Bai Wuxiang turned his head and looked at Mo Qiuyan kindly.

Mo Qiuyan turned his head silently and lit a candle for himself.

Goodbye, Mom. I'm sailing away tonight.

Bai Wuxiang gently picked up the burnt fragments of a teleportation talisman on the ground. Mo Qiuyan heard him smile beneath his mask.

"Just want to live a stable life?" he said sarcastically.

Mo Qiuyan said sincerely, "You can treat what I said before as bullshit. I'm in my rebellious phase now, and I think it's good to go against you."

Bai Wuxiang: “……?”

He stood still, and Mo Qiuyan felt as if he was taking a deep breath to calm himself down.

Bai Wuxiang: I was really angry.

After a moment, he said coldly, "Leave Xie Lian. Otherwise, you will not end well."

Mo Qiuyan leaned against a tree, Xiao Huacheng beside him jumping up and down anxiously. She couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she stuffed him into the Soul Locking Bag and looked up at Bai Wuxiang and said:

"Hey, please don't interfere with other people's thoughts. I have changed my mind now. I want to lie down with Your Highness." Mo Qiuyan started a new round of nonsense.

"Your idea won't succeed. His Highness is different from you. He won't become the same person as you. I really hope His Highness lives a good life. Can't you just leave His Highness?"

Well, the second half of the sentence is just a cliché.

If Bai Wuxiang really agreed and left happily, the shock would be as terrifying as if Huacheng suddenly wrote a pair of peerless calligraphy.

"Okay." Bai Wuxiang said suddenly, and Mo Qiuyan looked up and stared at him in horror.

...He definitely has a second half to his sentence, absolutely.

Sure enough, Bai Wuxiang continued: "Then let's make a bet."

"If I win, you, come to my side."

Mo Qiuyan quickly interrupted, "I know, I know! If I win, you can leave. How about a hand-shaking performance before you go?"

Bai Wuxiang: “……?”

That’s right, Mo Qiuyan is not someone who would follow Bai Wuxiang’s script.

Don't expect her to be particularly calm and composed when talking to her old father alone.

It won’t last long anyway.

Bai Wuxiang took another deep breath and asked through gritted teeth, "What is the Flower Shaking Hand?"

"Ah, just like that." Then Mo Qiuyan shook a few times as a demonstration.

Bai Wuxiang: Full of rejection.

But the old father was very confident that he could win, so he agreed.

Promised!

Mo Qiuyan (excited): Oh, Bai Wuxiang, I'm waiting for your performance~

I'll prepare the photo talisman~

Before leaving, Bai Wuxiang left behind a threat:

"His Royal Highness will lose everything he has sooner or later, and you are no exception."

Leaving Mo Qiuyan sitting there in silence.

But most of the silence was used to complain about Bai Wuxiang.

Because she definitely won't leave.

but.

Did you remove the curse from me before you left?!

What do you mean by abandoning me?

So she sat under the tree for several hours, and during that time she always felt that someone was staring at her in the dark.

Could it be that Lao Bai thought she loved selling swords too much and thought she should be left alone for a while?

But it didn't work.

Mo Qiuyan had a lot of fun just carving the stones.

I can also bring some money back to my teammates.

After another hour or two, the curse on her finally disappeared. Mo Qiuyan opened her eyes drowsily, she was almost asleep.

Anyway, there was no need to be in a hurry, so Mo Qiuyan flew on his sword and moved slowly, and it took him about twenty days to return to the hiding place of the king and others.

As soon as she jumped down from Mo Li, she met Mu Qing's eyes.

Mu Qing was in a mess at this time, with a few bloodstains on his face and a few grains of rice stuck on his collar.

After a moment of silence, Mu Qing glanced at her and left in a hurry.

Hmm...is this the plot stuck again?

When Mo Qiuyan entered the room, Xie Lian was looking down, silently picking up the rice bags on the floor.

When he heard someone entering the gate, he thought Mu Qing had come back again. Without even looking, he shouted, "Go away!" and grabbed something and threw it at him.

The thing flew extremely fast, carrying a strong wind. Mo Qiuyan used all his strength to deflect his body to avoid being thrown, but his knee only hit the door frame.

When she turned around, she saw a chopstick stuck in a tree outside the door.

“…Fuck!” I almost died…

Xie Lian heard a strange voice and turned around to see that he had hit the wrong person. He was immediately terrified. But he also felt worried for Mo Qiuyan: "Qiuyan, you... are back?"

Mo Qiuyan stepped forward to help him pick up the rice scattered on the ground and said with a smile: "Yes, I am back safely!"

“That thing…didn’t it do anything to you?” Xie Lian asked again, feeling uneasy.

"Ah, no, no," Mo Qiuyan said, but then he added cautiously to Xie Lian, "That big white rat seems to want to turn you into someone like him. Your Highness, please don't be fooled by him."

Xie Lian: Even though I’m scared, why do I want to laugh every time she mentions the big white rat?

Feng Xin looked confused and asked, "What are you talking about?"

The two turned their heads and said at the same time:

"A big white rat." "White Wuxiang."

Feng Xin: “……?!”

"Bai Wuxiang is back?" He shouted with a look of fear, automatically ignoring the big white rat's words. But when he remembered that the king and queen were still next door, he lowered his voice and asked, "When did it happen?"

"Your Highness probably didn't tell me about what happened two days ago," Mo Qiuyan said.

Feng Xin didn't say anything, and after exhorting each other, they went about their business. However, Feng Xin had a more pressing matter: he had to appease the King and Queen.

Mo Qiuyan left the room silently and took the mirror from Xie Lian's room before leaving.

Although Bai Wuxiang has plenty of ways to scare him.

Mo Qiuyan had just gone out to chop some trees for firewood and released Xiao Huacheng, when he came back he heard Xie Lian screaming in the house.

"Your Highness! What's wrong?!"

Mo Qiuyan kicked open the door, saw the scene inside, closed his eyes and turned to walk out.

Haha, I forgot that His Highness was scared while taking a bath.

Thank God Xie Lian had his back to her.

Otherwise, you will be killed by someone and you won’t even know how you died.

After this incident, Mo Qiuyan decided to change the direction of the plot a little bit.

She wants to change Xie Lian’s fear of Bai Wuxiang!

Bai Wuxiang tried several other methods to scare Xie Lian, the most typical of which was to stand behind someone when Xie Lian was talking to them.

So Mo Qiuyan paid close attention to the changes in Xie Lian's expression.

As soon as Xie Lian's expression showed something wrong, Mo Qiuyan would turn around as quickly as possible and catch Bai Wuxiang off guard.

In this way, the two of them silently competed in speed, each time faster than the last. Mo Qiuyan occasionally managed to gain a slight advantage, and saw a piece of white clothing disappear.

...It's quite fun? ?

Then Mo Qiuyan was particularly looking forward to Bai Wuxiang's appearance.

Finally one day, Xie Lian couldn't help but ask her, "Qiu Yan, aren't you afraid of him?"

Mo Qiuyan patted Xie Lian's shoulder, speaking righteously, "What's there to be afraid of? Your Highness, you can't die. He just wants to scare you. Just get used to it, and you can use him to test your courage."

Xie Lian: “…” That seems to make sense?

Of course, fear cannot be resolved in a day or two.

Xie Lian would still be frightened.

Bai Wuxiang also realized that Mo Qiuyan was using him to trap him, so he changed his strategy and only came out to scare Xie Lian when he was talking to others.

Bai Wuxiang: I won’t play with you!

Then Mo Qiuyan became angry.

No, she wants to destroy her father's image!

…

One day, Xie Lian opened the door of his room and a small wooden sculpture the size of a palm was brought to him by a hand.

It's a little white faceless cat.

Xie Lian was startled when he saw the mask of sadness and joy, and almost knocked it off. But when he took a closer look...

Hmm... pretty cute?

The white man's wood carving has the typical 2-head to 3-body ratio common in anime and manga, and his clothes are painted white. The figure's movements are adorable, with one hand pinching his waist and the other making a "V" sign, and he even has a furry hair.

Xie Lian: “…?”

He looked up along the hand holding the wooden carving, and sure enough, it was Mo Qiuyan's smiling face.

"Your Highness, what do you think? Are you no longer afraid?" Mo Qiuyan pinched the wooden sculpture's face and continued to talk nonsense, "Maybe the big white rat is like that when it scares people, but it's really this cute behind the scenes~"

Bai Wuxiang: Don’t listen to her nonsense!!

Xie Lian was speechless, but he also felt a sense of comfort.

Bai Wuxiang, who was hiding in the corner and peeking: No, I was not comforted...

Xiao Huacheng peeping out the window: Phew! Died of laughter

Later, when Xie Lian was frightened by Bai Wuxiang, the wooden carved little white man would always pop up in his mind, and then he would laugh.

Bai Wuxiang: “…”

It seems that letting that girl go back was a wrong decision!

But Xie Lian had already been brainwashed, and it was no use for the old father to regret it.

However, although Xie Lian's alternating fear and laughter did not cause him any mental damage, in the eyes of Feng Xin and the King and Queen, he was even more abnormal than in the original novel.

And although the fear was reduced, the busyness during the day and the nightmares at night often made Xie Lian irritable.

One day, he woke up in the middle of the night, feeling an irrepressible thirst. Remembering that he hadn't had enough water all day, he got up and prepared to go out to drink some water, but he heard faint voices and candlelight coming in from outside.

Xie Lian was startled and immediately hid behind the door, his heart pounding wildly. "Who is it? If it's Father, Mother, and Feng Xin, why are they so sneaky?"

Who knew that the sneaky ones were really his father, the emperor, the queen, and Feng Xin. Feng Xin lowered his voice very low: "Your Highness, have you rested?"

The queen also whispered, "Go to bed."

The King said, "It took a lot of effort for him to fall asleep. Don't wake him up too early tomorrow. Let him sleep a little longer."

This sentence made Xie Lian's heart ache. Then he heard the queen say, "Alas...if this continues, when will the prince be well again?"

Xie Lian was just thinking there was something wrong with this when Feng Xin whispered, "He's just been so exhausted lately. So much has happened. Your Majesties, please keep a close eye on him. If anything seems amiss with His Highness, please let me know immediately. But don't let him notice, and don't say anything that might irritate him..."

Xie Lian hid behind the door and listened, his mind blank and blood rushing to his head.
