"I see that you run at about the same speed as I walk, so there's no need to wait."
Ming Qiancheng glanced at Li Ji indifferently, "You can keep running."
"no!"
Upon hearing Ming Qiancheng's words, Li Ji couldn't help but widen her eyes and ran in front of him to block his path. "How can you, my master, be so heartless towards a weak woman like me?"
Weak woman?
Li Ji's words were hardly credible. Ming Qiancheng glanced at Li Ji from head to toe. "I remember you were carrying a sword when you came into the room tonight. If I'm not mistaken, were you planning to use it against me?"
"..."
Oh no, I completely forgot about that!
Li Ji's eye twitched. She had indeed intended to use that sword to deal with Ming Qiancheng.
But afterwards, she had absolutely no such thought! The problem is, now she doesn't know how to explain it...
"This...this..."
"Um?"
“I wanted to perform a sword dance for my master! Yes, that’s right! Sword dance! My master may not know, but the way Li Ji survived in the brothel was by performing.”
Liji took a deep breath as she finished speaking. Thank goodness for that; hopefully, this explanation would get her through.
Li Ji glanced cautiously at Ming Qiancheng, only to find that the man's gaze was no longer on her.
Ming Qiancheng continued walking forward, and Li Ji dared not interrupt, so she obediently followed behind him.
Until the two arrived at the underground royal city.
When Li Ji saw the luxurious underground royal city in front of her, she was so stunned that she couldn't move her feet.
"How beautiful! Is this a palace?"
Li Ji couldn't help but gasp, her voice filled with barely suppressed surprise.
"You good-for-nothing."
Ming Qiancheng spoke calmly and stepped inside.
The underground royal city was merely one of his residences, which he placed here because he found it secluded.
In terms of both craftsmanship and luxury, it is incomparable to the imperial palace.
Keliki actually said this was the royal palace?
Seeing that Ming Qiancheng seemed a little angry, Li Ji quickly stepped forward and followed him.
Li Ji didn't know the way, so she could only follow behind Ming Qiancheng until they stood in front of a palace. She couldn't help but look up.
"Water Moon Palace?"
"You'll be living here from now on."
After saying this, Ming Qiancheng walked inside, leaving Li Ji standing outside dumbfounded.
Staying here?
Li Ji was stunned. She lived here, so how did Ming Qiancheng get in?
Realizing this, Li Ji couldn't help but blush. Although she hadn't experienced it herself, she had heard the girls in the brothel talk about it.
I heard the first time is especially painful, and she's someone who's afraid of pain... so is she...?
"If you prefer to stay outside, you don't need to come in."
While Li Ji was still lost in thought, Ming Qiancheng's voice came from inside the bedchamber, startling Li Ji back to her senses and making her dare not think any further.
...
Sudden.
With a loud "bang," Ming Qiancheng's thoughts were forcibly pulled back, and the little dumpling sitting next to him was also startled.
The little boy looked towards the door and saw that it was Mo Shisheng who kicked the door open forcefully. He exclaimed in surprise, "Auntie Shisheng, did you come to see me?"
"Little dumpling, I have something to say to your daddy. Would you like to go out first?"
Mo Shisheng touched the little dumpling's face. "Why don't you go play with him for a while, okay?"
She pointed at Ming Beiya, and the man she pointed at couldn't help but darken his face. "Asheng, you're leaving him to me?"
