"Sir, could you please stop touching me?"
Leng Qingning shook his hand away, and inadvertently, her hand brushed against his pulse, and she quickly withdrew it as if she had been electrocuted.
"My little beauty, I didn't expect you to be so shy~" Leng Qingning endured him touching her shoulders and molesting her all the way back to the mansion.
Looking at this luxurious and decadent attic, decorated in a sultry style, with bright red curtains floating, beautiful maids serving tea and water, and red roses planted all around, Leng Qingning's mouth twitched. It had to be said, this was indeed his style.
When Shi Qing saw the corners of her mouth twitching slightly, a smile appeared in his eyes. He didn't expect to see another expression on her cold face.
She looked really funny.
As soon as the two of them stepped into the mansion one after the other, a maid came hurriedly to greet them.
"What happened? Why are you making such a fuss?" Shi Qing asked casually, leaning on his hands.
The maid bit her lip and looked at Leng Qingning, wanting to say something but stopping herself, then took another careful look inside.
"Could it be that someone else has come?"
"Could it be that fellow Gongye Xun?"
The maid was a little embarrassed and lowered her voice and said, "My Lord, Master Gongye has been here for a while and is waiting for you in Shuyao Hall. It seems that he has come for Miss Luping."
"Heh~ Gongye Luping is missing. Brother Xun, why don't you hurry up and come to me to find her?" He seemed to have a headache when he heard the name.
Then a man in blue clothes with jade-like golden features came out, waving a peacock feather fan in his hand and said anxiously, "Brother Shi Qing, you are finally back. You have been attending this banquet for a long time. I really kept you waiting."
Seeing that he didn't answer and looked at him with a half-smile, Gongye Xun covered his mouth with a feather fan with a guilty conscience, his expression slightly embarrassed, obviously realizing that what he had just said was inappropriate.
Neither of them spoke. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little solemn. Leng Qingning silently took two steps back, ready to slip away.
Unexpectedly, a big hand grabbed the back of her collar, making it impossible for her to move. Leng Qingning turned around and saw Shi Qing's half-smile.
"Where are you going?"
"Ahem~ A guest has come to discuss serious matters. You guys can chat slowly. I'll be leaving first."
Gongye Xun showed a satisfied look, "Finally, there is someone with good sense among the women in your yard." Every time he came to visit, those beautiful women always liked to come up to him.
Shi Qing had a smile in his eyes, but he grabbed her wrist forcefully. "Why do you want to leave? Isn't it good here? Our Master Gongye Xun is very friendly. Don't be afraid. He won't make things difficult for you. Don't you agree, Master Gongye?"
Leng Qingning pursed her lips and said nothing. She began to reflect on her acting skills.
It seems that her acting skills are indeed very poor, otherwise Qing might have targeted her at this time.
"Forget it, she's yours anyway, I believe she won't do anything."
"Brother Shi Qing, I didn't do this on purpose. Who in this entire demon world doesn't know how my girl feels about you? Every time I see you, see your face, my eyes can't wait to stick to you. What's more, every time she disappears, it's related to you. I really can't find her, so I have to come to you."
"Oh? So, it's my fault that I'm so beautiful that the second daughter of your Gongye family ran away from home several times."
"I didn't want to misunderstand you like this. Who told her to hide even your underwear..." Gongye Xun suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and covered his mouth.
Leng Qingning: “…” It sounds a bit outrageous.
Shi Qing's handsome face turned ashen, "Underwear - Gongye Xun, what's going on? You'd better give me an explanation and return my things to the original owner, otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding our brotherhood." How could his underwear fall into the hands of someone else, and a crazy woman at that.
[Tsk tsk~ Host, this Second Young Lady's behavior is horrible, like a pervert!]
Gongye Xun was speechless for a moment because these were all stupid things done by his sister.
"Please have some tea, guests." A maid in a long green dress came up with freshly brewed tea and brought it to them one by one.
The maid's cold eyes swept towards Leng Qingning. Leng Qingning looked at the maid suspiciously. She seemed not to know this person, but was inexplicably given a cold stare.
Leng Qingning thought to herself, it seems that she needs to leave quickly tonight, let the system remember all the routes here, complete the task and leave this damn place quickly.
Gongye Xun picked up the teacup and drank tea. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the familiar black mole on the maid's right index finger. The teacup in his hand paused slightly, and he came to his senses and quickly brought the tea to his lips and drank it in one gulp.
The maid froze and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
She turned around with an unnatural look, bowed, and left. At the moment when the door was about to close, her sticky eyes looked at Shi Qing with extreme obsession.
Shi Qing suddenly frowned, stopped what he was doing, and looked behind him. The door had already been closed, and the maid was nowhere to be seen.
A hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he saw Gongye Xun, who was sitting opposite him, holding a teacup and glancing at him nervously from time to time?
Could it be that he knew the maid just now? Leng Qingning pondered secretly in her heart.
That night.
The moon in the demon world at night seems exceptionally bright, yet as cold as water.
The maids were bored and whispering at the door, while a group of demon soldiers in black armor were patrolling everywhere.
Large patches of silvery moonlight slanted down from the silver branches, the dark leaves rustled, and faint sounds of insects could be heard from within.
No one noticed that in that dark corner, a petite figure jumped to the other wall in an instant like a nimble cat.
"Everyone, cheer up and patrol well. Don't be lazy!" The leading demon general reminded with a serious face.
"Yes, Commander!"
On the tiles of an attic roof, Leng Qingning, the cat god, lay there nimbly, avoiding the patrolling demon soldiers.
[Host, don't worry, I have memorized all the routes we just passed.]
"Thanks a lot"
[It's not hard, it's a piece of cake]
Leng Qingning followed the traces left by the tracker to find the place where Li Yuner was imprisoned, but she didn't expect that the distance between them was less than two hundred meters.
When she saw Li Yun'er, she was sitting at the door keeping watch with another maid.
The other maid looked familiar, and she suddenly had an idea and remembered that this maid was one of the white people who rubbed their backs.
"You must be alert at night. If Miss Ya has any instructions, you must go in immediately. Remember, as a servant, you must not fall asleep while on guard at night."
Li Yuner said: "Thank you Sister Ru for reminding me. Don't worry, I will definitely keep watch and will never fall asleep at night."
