Chapter 41: Behaving Well

She looked down at the coarse linen clothes on her body. It was so rough that you could see the threads sewn on it. Shen Tingyu laughed awkwardly and waved her hand awkwardly: "No one bullies me."

"That's how the fairy protects herself!" Xin Hongying's thousands of words turned into a sneer, and his fingers gently brushed away the dust on her body.

"Could it be that the fairy rolled around on the ground herself, getting covered in dust and mud..."

Shen Tingyu's cheeks felt warm, and he lowered his head and adjusted his clothes awkwardly.

Nonsense, I'm not covered in dust or mud, it's just that my clothes are a little worn from being starched.

At first, she swore that she could protect herself, but now she is in such a mess, she feels a little ashamed.

"There were some minor mistakes, I'm fine." Shen Tingyu spread out his hands, turned around in a circle smoothly, and smiled slightly: "Look."

I felt a little relieved after confirming that she was just a little dirty and had no other external injuries.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Xin Hongying's mind, and in the end, only one thought remained: It doesn't matter, she's back!

Seeing that she didn't explain too much, Xin Hongying was worried that she would remember something bad, so she didn't ask any more questions.

His eyes, as sharp as ice, fell silently on the big bird combing its feathers nearby, and he was already thinking in his mind how to pluck its feathers.

The big bird was suddenly startled, sensing a strong malicious intent, and quickly flew away, protecting its feathers.

The vision in front of her eyes became dim, and a piece of clothing covered her head. Shen Tingyu pulled it off. It was a new piece of clothing that she had never worn before. Shen Tingyu's eyes lit up.

"Why don't you take the Imperial Master to bathe quickly?"

The cold voice seemed to be quite disgusted. The corners of her raised mouth dropped, and she lowered her head and pursed her lips. She felt a little lost in her heart, and her mood suddenly turned bad.

An Chi walked in from outside, said "yes", and held her carefully in his hands.

Facing An Chi's gentle and pitying eyes, Shen Tingyu suddenly felt like he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Ahhh, don't look at her with such a look that shows you are suffering!

After a refreshing bath, Shen Tingyu stayed by the stove and slowly dried his heavy body. There was a light incense in the stove.

She closed her eyes and lay lazily, feeling warm, fragrant, and comfortable...it was a long-lost comfort.

Suddenly, I fell into a deep and comfortable sleep. A small snoring sound came from my ears, like the water in a pool bubbling, gurgling...

Xin Hongying turned her head in the direction of the sound, with a faint smile in her cold eyes.

He brushed his sleeves, took out a thin quilt, and covered her with it considerately. His slender fingers moved the heater further away to prevent her from accidentally rolling into it while sleeping.

If Shen Tingyu knew that he would make such a strange snoring sound after falling asleep, he would probably cover his head with the quilt immediately and not want to see anyone.

However, she turned over without knowing anything, waved her little hand, and with a snap, lifted a corner of the quilt.

Xin Hongying didn't realize that she slept like a mortal. She thought that immortals all slept soundly, and the smile on her lips never faded.

His slender fingers carefully covered the quilt that had been lifted up, and even his breathing became softer involuntarily.

Suddenly, a strange color flashed in his eyes, an emotion that he himself could not explain.

Shen Tingyu was stopped by Xin Hongying behind him. Gao Tang didn't see it for a moment. He took the letter and slowly approached with a smile, saying with a little surprise: "Your Majesty, it's a carrier pigeon from the border... delivering a message!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down."

Gao Tang understood with a glance, and lowered his voice, "Reinforcements and provisions arrived just in time. General Luo has won a great victory and is on his way back to the capital. He will arrive at the Imperial City today."

Xin Hongying nodded, waved his slender hand, and Gao Tang left quietly.

The air was so quiet that the only sound in it was the turning of pages.

The sound of bubbling water disappeared, Shen Tingyu woke up from her sleep, opened her eyes and saw Xin Hongying's handsome profile. She was in a trance for a moment, thinking that she was still dreaming.

She muttered incoherently, "Where did this handsome guy come from? He looks a little familiar."

Shen Tingyu woke up after regaining her senses. She noticed the thin quilt on her body, which made her body and heart warm. She sat up.

Seeing Shen Tingyu wake up, the sound of the big bird flapping its wings continuously rang out.

“Chirp…, chirp… chirp chirp…”

Xin Hongying frowned. He had seen it was relatively quiet, so he left it alone. Why was it so noisy?

Shen Tingyu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large bird trapped in a golden cage, flapping its wings weakly, its black eyes looking at her from afar, looking pitiful.

The mount talisman hadn't expired yet, and it didn't want to stay in the cage. Its brain, smarter than before, knew to ask her for help. Shen Tingyu nodded, silently comforting it.

"His Majesty!"

Shen Tingyu tugged at the corner of his clothes, raised her head and said pitifully, "Are you still angry with me?"

She suddenly acted coquettishly towards him, Xin Hongying frowned slightly, and his eyes immediately became alert.

He snorted coldly, the corner of his clothes moved slightly, but he didn't respond. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. He wanted to see what else she wanted to do?

Are you thinking of leaving again?

I have to say that Xin Hongying's premonition was very accurate.

Shen Tingyu didn't wait for his response, her eyes were slightly resentful. He was indeed angry and ignored her. She was a little at a loss and didn't know where to bring it up for a while.

Gu Xiaoman's father was still waiting for her to bring the red-gold Ganoderma lucidum back to save his life. She thought about it and felt that it was her appearance that triggered the butterfly effect, which was why Gu Xiaoman failed to meet the great doctors.

She once said that her father would recover, so she couldn't let Gu Xiaoman lose her father.

Seeing her still in a low voice, Xin Hongying lowered his eyes and was silent for a while: "What do you want to say, fairy?"

"This fairy has found the location of the Gu Master, which is in Qingshi Town, but I still can't find their specific location." Shen Tingyu said carefully.

She briefly talked about her experiences over the past few days and focused on asking for the red gold Ganoderma lucidum.

"Fairy, you are so kind." Xin Hongying's eyes dimmed slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in them.

The little girl knew the fairy's secret and was a disaster. She could not stay, but the killing intent quickly dissipated like thin ice.

Whatever! He's just a kid, how much trouble can he cause?

"Red Gold Ganoderma Lucidum, I'll have Gao Tang go get it and give it to the child. It's not a difficult task."

"Since the fairy has already known the exact location, I will immediately send people to search for it. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground in Qingshi Town, I will find the great doctor."

"Fairy, don't worry about this."

"But--!"

Shen Tingyu touched her silky clothes, raised her head and said slowly: “Your Majesty, I want to go and see you off in person.”

She really still wants to leave!

Xin Hongying's face darkened.
