Chapter 19 Jealous? Sir, do you want to marry me?

"Hmm~" Mu Xingchen shivered unconsciously.

Li Jing stopped when he heard the sound. He turned around and saw Mu Xingchen's eyelashes trembling slightly, showing signs of waking up.

Qi Feng looked at Li Jing's expression, then glanced at Mu Xingchen who was about to wake up. He asked in a low voice: "Um, Master, are we leaving now?"

Li Jing didn't say anything.

The sun was very strong outside, and the sunlight shone directly in from the window, stinging some people's eyes and making them feel slightly uncomfortable. Just as Mu Xingchen subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to block the sunlight, Li Jing stood in front of her and blocked the sunlight from the window.

"Who... is it?" Mu Xingchen opened her sleepy eyes, turned her head and looked hazily at the man in black and silver face in front of her.

Suddenly, her consciousness returned to her brain, and her pupils shrank sharply when she saw Li Jing in black clothes and a mask in front of her.

She jumped up from the bed in extreme fear, hugged her legs tightly and shrank back, trembling: "Who are you? What do you want to do? Wuuuuu, I didn't mean to do it, I didn't mean to, please let me go, wuuuuuu..."

Qi Feng stepped forward and comforted her, "Miss Mu, don't be afraid. I am Qi Feng, and this is my young master."

Li Jing frowned and took off his mask. He said in a hoarse and dry voice, "Don't be afraid."

Mu Xingchen looked at Li Jing's face and was stunned. The next second, tears rushed down her face like a flood. She rushed forward and hugged Li Jing fiercely, crying, "Wuwuwu, Master Jing, I'm so scared. It's so dark in there. I can't see anything and I can't speak. Wuwuwu, I thought I was going to die there. Wuwuwu, Master Jing, did you save me? Wuwuwu..."

Looking at her pale face, a complex expression flashed through Li Jing's eyes. He frowned and said in a cold voice, "How dare you drug Li Yan's concubine if you are so weak? Aren't you willing to risk your life for him?"

Mu Xingchen was stunned. She didn't expect Li Jingjing to say such a thing. Her tears fell even harder. Just when she was about to bury her head in Li Jing's arms, he grabbed her chin and pulled her head out.

"I'm covered in blood." He said coldly.

Mu Xingchen finally stopped sobbing. Her face seemed to be stained with blood. What should she do? She looked up at him blankly, her face full of helplessness.

Li Jing looked down and could only see a pair of bright big eyes staring at him motionlessly. The eyelashes on the eyes were flickering, and some of them had been wet with his blood, leaving streaks of blood on the face. She looked both innocent and fragile.

Li Jing's breath was caught, and an indescribable strange feeling arose in his heart.

"I've asked someone to find a maid for you. Please pack up later. I'll have someone send you back to the Mu Mansion. If you do something stupid like this again, I won't save you a second time." His tone was cold, without a trace of emotion, and he was completely different from the courtesy and gentleness he had when they first met.

Mu Xingchen's mouth was frozen. When they first met, he politely called her "girl" and was afraid of scaring her. Now he was like an ice sculpture, as if someone had offended him.

She thought to herself, "Xiao Qi, tell me, was he also pretending to be nice to me when we first met?"

Xiao Qi teased as if he was enjoying a good show, "It's possible. Maybe you're not the only one with acting talent. So, everyone has a talent for acting."

Mu Xingchen's breath caught in his throat. "But why is he pretending? Could it be that the first time we met, we were both attracted to each other, and then he found out that I was from the Mu family, so he simply stopped pretending?"

Xiao Qi guessed: "Have you ever thought about what if he is jealous?"

Mu Xingchen was surprised and said, "No way, I'm so charming? You really fell in love with me so quickly?"

Seeing Li Jing turning around and about to leave, before Xiao Qi could answer, Mu Xingchen suddenly pounced on his back to stop him from leaving.

Qi Feng stopped breathing and his pupils widened. Then he held his breath and moved out silently step by step. In an instant, there were only the two of them left in the room.

"What are you doing?" Li Jing froze in place. Her hands were fiddling with his waist, pulling here and there. This action made Li Jing gasp, and he had no choice but to grab her hands and pull her down.

When he turned around, he saw Mu Xingchen looking at him with tears in her eyes.

She said aggrievedly: "How can you say that? You wronged me. You said I did it for that disgusting man Li Yan. That's not the case. Wuwuwuwu, that's not the case..." Mu Xingchen wanted to raise her fist to hit him, but found that her right hand was grabbed by him. She switched to her left hand and hit the wound twice.

Li Jing's face turned pale and he held her left hand.

A room, two people, a man and a woman, the man holding the woman's hands. No matter how you look at it, this scene is incredibly ambiguous.

Mu Xingchen's face gradually turned red, and she lowered her head without saying a word.

Li Jing took a silent breath and then let her go.

The next second, Mu Xingchen was afraid that he would leave and wanted to catch him again, so Li Jing quickly took a step back.

Mu Xingchen watched him retreat, her pupils gradually filled with tears, her mouth pouted in grievance, and her body seemed so fragile that she was about to fall.

Li Jing had a headache for a moment.

He tried to slow down his tone and said, "I'm not leaving. Just say what you want to say."

Mu Xingchen sniffed, "The reason I bought the medicine was because that sister said she didn't want a child, not because of Prince Yan. I hate him..."

Li Jing frowned. He breathed a sigh of relief but couldn't help but feel a little funny. In the end, he was sold out and helped others count money.

Seeing that Li Jing was silent, Mu Xingchen's eyes once again filled with tears: "You don't believe me?"

He retracted the barely visible curve of his lips and sighed helplessly: "From now on, don't have any contact with those people."

"Who are they?" Mu Xingchen asked innocently.

"Everyone." Li Jing said without hesitation.

"Ah?" Mu Xingchen opened his mouth wide.

Li Jing's eyes fell on the corner of her mouth. She was injured, and her lips were a little paler than before, but fortunately the injury was not serious. Looking at her lips under the sunlight, a layer of water-colored ripples appeared on her lips...

After realizing what he was thinking, Li Jing withdrew his gaze with an unpleasant expression. He looked into her eyes, pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, do you hear clearly?"

Mu Xingchen nodded, then smiled happily and said, "I heard it clearly."

"Are you injured anywhere else?" He thought of the lost coat, and his eyes darkened. He looked into her eyes with extreme seriousness and said, "You...don't be upset. I arrived just in time. This isn't a big deal, and it won't affect your future marriage."

"Huh?" Mu Xingchen was completely confused. This time, she was truly confused. She communicated with Xiao Qi in her mind: "What is he saying??? What does he mean???"

Xiao Qi was now laughing his ass off inside the bracelet, "Hahahahahahahahahahaha, haha ​​...

Mu Xingchen pretended to be angry and said, "Xiao Qi!!!"

Xiao Qi suppressed his laughter and then faked a cough: "Well, didn't you throw away your coat to avoid being recognized? He must have misunderstood."

Li Jing was still comforting her, his voice was calm and steady, but his purple eyes were tinged with a hint of complicated worry. He continued to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, don't worry, nothing happened, you..."

"Marry?" Mu Xingchen interrupted him, looking at him with sparkling eyes and said, "Sir, do you want to marry me?"

Li Jing was stunned. He didn't expect Mu Xingchen to ask this.

Her eyes were full of stars, twinkling as she looked at him, hoping for his answer.

He could already imagine how lost and sad her eyes would be if he rejected her. She might also misunderstand his rejection, thinking that he didn't like her because of this, and then become depressed or lose heart...

Just when Li Jing was extremely conflicted and almost couldn't hold on any longer.

Mu Xingchen pursed her lips, lowered her head and said aggrievedly, "So the young master doesn't want to." Then she raised her head and asked with a questioning look, "But I don't understand, why would I be sad because my coat was burned? I was obviously very happy."

It turned out to be burned. Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He curled his lips slightly and said, "Just be happy."

Yes, the Mu family never taught her those things. She was so naive and knew nothing.

In this age where everyone practices spiritual cultivation, the strong reign supreme. As long as one holds absolute power, they can change the rules. Therefore, in this world, this matter isn't a significant one. He was simply afraid that she was timid and would be frightened by those people, leaving a shadow in her heart.

He had just thought that if she continued to cry, he would go to the dark prison and kill all those people.

Suddenly, Li Jing's breathing stopped again, and his expression became vaguely ugly.

Since she didn't understand those worldly definitions, then her repeated confession of her feelings to him wasn't because he wanted her to commit herself to him, but because she truly loved him...

She had just expressed her feelings to him once again. She really loved him so much that she asked him directly if he was willing to marry her.

Thinking of this, Li Jing's brows relaxed a little, and his tone was as gentle as possible: "You are still young and don't understand what friendship is. When you find the person you truly love in the future, you will understand, so don't..."

Like him...

Mu Xingchen fluttered her big eyes, staring at him motionlessly without answering.

Li Jing suddenly couldn't say these three words. She looked at him like this, as if she had already decided on him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

He sighed helplessly, but he still didn't finish his words. Well, when she couldn't see him anymore in the future, her feelings for him would slowly fade away. At least he had repaid her for saving his life.

"You should have a good rest. I'm leaving first." Li Jing's tone was a little colder than before. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.

With a creak, the door closed in almost the blink of an eye, so fast that Mu Xingchen didn't have time to call him.

Mu Xingchen stretched and yawned before getting out of bed. "Xiao Qi, your words have been proven once again."

"Which one? The one where I said he was a psychopath?" Xiao Qi replied.

Mu Xingchen walked to the window and sat in the rocking chair under the window, lazily basking in the sun: "Well, a psychopath, moody, sometimes hot and sometimes cold. So, men are the ones who are truly moody, while women are much more stable."

Xiao Qi sneered, "Actually, don't you think you're quite perverted? You two are a match made in heaven."

Mu Xingchen was surprised and said, "Oh my God, thank you for the compliment."

Xiao Qi was completely speechless. She changed the subject, "Come to think of it, I feel like this guy isn't going to be easy to deal with. When can you take him down? I really want to know what he is, and I want you to remove the Gu spirit as soon as possible. I can't wait."

Mu Xingchen's lips curled slightly, and the ends of his eyes turned up with a hint of charm. "It's difficult for others, but for me, it's easy."

"Hahahahaha." Xiao Qi was almost unable to laugh out loud, "Okay, I believe you, Queen."

Mu Xingchen sat up and looked outside with a gloomy expression as she said, "But Xiaoqi, don't we have something more important to do right now?"

Xiao Qi said in surprise, "Oh right, that man must have sent someone to find Tushan Xu. Let's quickly get this matter over with and don't let anything else happen."

Mu Xingchen's eyes narrowed as he looked at the sky outside. It was a clear sky with bright sunshine, but in fact, there were hidden dangers inside and outside. Now the yard was surrounded by people inside and outside, just at that moment.

They must have been entangled with Li Yan for the entire night and had just returned.

Mu Xingchen calculated the risk of exposure. He could leave, but he might not be able to come back.

"Xiao Qi, how much time do you have left of your spiritual energy?"

"The time it takes to stick up an incense stick and a half."

It takes a stick of incense and a half, and there are some risks.

Tushan Xu was thrown not far from the secret cell, and he would be found soon.

But wait a minute, it should still be in time for her to rush over and intercept it.

At this moment the door was pushed open.

It was Xiaoyuan who came in with a food box and medicine. She walked up to Mu Xingchen, lowered her head and said timidly, "Miss, the young master prepared some food for you to eat first. Then he asked me to check if you have any injuries." Her voice was trembling and her expression was a little nervous.

"Are you scared?" Mu Xingchen thought of what Li Jing had just said about kidnapping the maid. No wonder she suddenly disappeared a few days ago. It turned out that she was kidnapped.

Before Xiao Yuan could answer, Mu Xingchen continued to ask, "Where are you from?"

Xiao Yuan shrank her neck and said: "I am a maid working for a wealthy family. A few nights ago, I went out to visit my relatives. Who knew that halfway through..."

Mu Xingchen understood that someone was randomly captured nearby in the middle of the night, but the girl was unlucky enough to be caught.

"Okay, don't be afraid. Go back to that young master and tell him that he checked me and I'm not injured. Then tell him that it was me who said I don't need anyone to serve me, and let him let you go."

Xiao Yuan suddenly knelt down and said with gratitude, "Thank you for your kindness, young lady."

"Let's go." Mu Xingchen suddenly thought of something. "By the way, before you leave, ask him for some more silver. He will give it to you."

Xiao Yuan kowtowed to Mu Xingchen while crying. Mu Xingchen quickly helped her up and said, "Go."
