Upon hearing this voice, Chi Musheng's body trembled subconsciously, but he quickly recovered.
"I apologize, I am an envoy from Tushan. I am new to this place and not familiar with it."
Chi Musheng turned around, her eyes reflecting the setting sun, and smiled.
The light shining on an ordinary face made one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze at first glance.
"you"
Looking at that face, Huan Du Luolan felt a thousand words stuck in her throat.
It seems, it really seems, even though it's not the same person, why does she feel like that person is smiling? It's as if fate has brought that person back to her side.
She couldn't help but take a step forward, reaching out her small hand to touch Chi Musheng's cheek.
It is considered a perverted act to suddenly touch someone's face when you don't know them, even if it's a girl.
"Princess, please have some self-respect."
Chi Musheng took a step back, dodging Huan Du Luolan's small hand.
His face was covered by a human skin mask. Although you couldn't tell anything from the outside, you could still feel it by touching it.
Besides, he was just out for a stroll and had no intention of recognizing Huan Du Luo Lan. Letting go doesn't mean forgiving.
Sorry, I mistook you for an old friend of mine.
Huan Du Luolan paused for two seconds when she mentioned the last form of address, because they never seemed to have acknowledged any relationship with each other from beginning to end. If one had to describe it, it would probably be master and pet.
Her small hands fell limply, and deep in her eyes was endless disappointment.
Yes, even if he's still alive, given what I did to him in the past, would he really come back to me?
The answer is no.
"Maybe I do look a bit like your friend."
Chi Musheng also looked at Huan Du Luolan and said.
The two looked into each other's eyes, their emotions, though turbulent, remained remarkably calm.
A moment later, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Princess, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
It's better to avoid trouble. If Huan Du Luo Lan recognizes him, who knows what will happen? It's best to leave.
"Um"
Huan Du Luolan nodded to indicate that she understood.
Her footsteps remained steadfast. Ever since Xiao Sheng'er left, she had designated this place as a forbidden zone, accessible only to her.
Because this was his favorite garden, and the place he visited most often; his image would always appear in his mind here.
Just as the two passed each other, a woody fragrance drifted into Huan Du Luo Lan's nose on the breeze.
Huan Du Luolan's expression changed, and she suddenly turned around and shouted.
"etc"
It seems so, it really seems so, not just in appearance and temperament, but even in taste.
She stared intently at Chi Musheng's retreating figure, her mind in turmoil. Her sixth sense told her that the person before her was her little Sheng'er.
But he had no way to confirm it unless he stripped off his clothes and looked at his chest to see if there was that red mole, which was the part of his body that he remembered most vividly.
However, this matter concerns the establishment of the Demon Alliance. The person in front of me seems to be Tu Shan Rongrong's man. If I rashly strip him of his clothes, it will inevitably cause a rift between the Southern Kingdom and Tu Shan.
Thinking of this, she clenched her fists. If it were a few years ago, she wouldn't have hesitated, but since Xiao Sheng'er left, she has gradually come to understand that the responsibilities she bears are not something to be taken for granted.
"Father and the Third Leader of Tushan are not finished discussing this yet. Why don't you wait here with us?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Musheng still wanted to refuse. He simply didn't want to see Huan Du Luo Lan.
"It's alright, I've never been to the South before, and I'm planning to go out and have some fun."
As he took a step to leave, a small hand grabbed his wrist.
"After all, you are a guest who has come all the way from Tushan. As the princess of the Southern Kingdom, I naturally have the responsibility to receive you. If you leave like this, wouldn't it mean that the Southern Kingdom has no way to treat guests?"
Huan Du Luolan spoke with righteous indignation.
She used her status as a princess of the Southern Kingdom to persuade you to stay. Even if you were unwilling, you had to put on a show and stay a little longer.
Chi Musheng turned around and said with a smile.
"Princess, men and women should not touch each other. Your holding my wrist is rather improper."
He noticed that Huan Du Luolan had matured a lot compared to three years ago, and had even learned to use such words.
In the past, it would probably have been, "This princess said you have to stay, so you have to stay, do you hear me?"
"Ah, it was a moment of panic."
Huan Du Luolan, feigning carelessness, slowly withdrew her hand and then asked.
"You, by the way, my name is Huan Du Luolan. What's your name? Always calling you 'you' makes it seem too formal."
"Longing"
Chi Musheng uttered two words. He had only told Huan Du Luolan that her given name was Sheng, and had never told her her full name. Strictly speaking, he had not lied to her, but he had not said her full name in one breath.
"What a nice name!"
Huan Du Luolan originally wanted to compliment the name to start a conversation, but the name Chi Mu sounded like it belonged to an old person.
She could only awkwardly say "not bad," for she didn't know why, she was always at a loss for words when faced with old age.
She both hoped that Chi Mu was Xiao Sheng'er, and feared it, because she had no confidence that she could win him back.
The air fell silent again. Huan Du Luo Lan just stood there, quietly watching Chi Mu Sheng, which made Chi Mu Sheng wonder if his human skin mask had fallen off.
Chi Musheng coughed twice to interrupt.
"Princess, if you have something to say, it's best to say it directly. It's not good for a man and a woman to be alone together for too long; it could damage your reputation."
He was afraid that when Tu Shan Rongrong returned and saw him and Huan Du Luolan alone together, looking so affectionate, she would get jealous and cause a scene.
The kidneys are still recovering. Although Tu Shan Rongrong has given him a lot of nourishing medicine, they need time to digest, absorb, and recover.
"My reputation? I lost it long ago."
Huan Du Luolan scoffed. Her reputation as a princess of the Southern Kingdom was already ruined. In the first year, it was rumored that the princess kept male concubines. In the following three years, it was rumored that the princess's desires were too great and her play was too promiscuous, and the male concubines couldn't stand it and ran away.
The princess's love turned to hatred, her mind became twisted, and she broke up couples everywhere.
However, these rumors are all true, although some are exaggerated, they are largely true.
She slowly moved closer to Chi Musheng, inhaling that familiar scent, and a surge of impulse welled up within her, making her want to embrace him.
The only person who could give her this feeling was Xiao Sheng'er.
She was 80% certain that the person in front of her was Xiao Sheng'er, and the remaining 20% was that there was probably someone in the world who looked just like her.
"Old age, tell me, would you forgive someone who has done something wrong?"
As Huan Du Luolan drew closer, the distance between them was less than a foot, and Huan Du Luolan stared at her with burning eyes.
Just then, an untimely voice interrupted.
"Husband, what are you doing?"
