These child-friendly words still worked.
He suddenly rubbed his head together several times.
It was as if he silently agreed with her.
Xiao Tang raised her hand and gently patted his head.
This is terrible...
This man is absolutely irresistible when he's being obedient!
When I lay down to sleep...
She suddenly turned her head to look at the man beside her.
He was already facing her sideways, his dark, puppy-like eyes staring straight at her without any change.
So pure and clear it's breathtaking.
It also made her very curious.
I want to bite him.
"Tangtang." He called her name, his voice low, but with a hint of probing.
Xiao Tang gave a soft "hmm," then suddenly asked, "Tell me, do you know you're drunk?"
He blinked: "Huh? I'm not drunk."
That's right, he just switched modes, how could he be drunk?
Xiao Tang's lips twitched slightly, and she lowered her voice to remind him, "What I mean is, do you know that you'll act cute when you're drunk?"
He didn't speak, immediately closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
Xiao Tang really wanted to kick him off the bed.
Fortunately, she managed to resist the urge to do so.
She gritted her teeth and finally swallowed all those thoughts.
They stayed up until dawn, until the man woke up.
As he stood up, Xiao Tang turned around and suddenly pinned him down, grabbing his neck and asking aggressively, "Do you know what happened last night?"
Di Jingling was caught off guard.
He narrowed his eyes, looking dangerously at the man who was so energetic so early in the morning.
"What?"
"When you're drunk, you turn into a puppy... cough cough cough, you become a completely different person after drinking, you know that?"
"?" He feigned confusion. "What do you mean?"
They put on quite a convincing act.
Xiao Tang gave a low hum: "You really don't remember anything?"
He didn't say anything.
"Never mind." Xiao Tang let go of him.
She had a gut feeling that this man was deliberately acting like a puppy to trick her.
But so be it.
She likes it!
If this secret is exposed, and the next villain stops pretending, wouldn't she be pitiful to death?
Xiao Tang ultimately didn't press for answers, knowing that someone as proud as the villain would never admit to faking it.
...
The Western Slave Market is the largest market for selling servants across the entire Five Continents.
What's most famous about this market is that the servants come in all ages and are matched to the buyer's requirements.
For example, some require the ability to recognize characters, while others require some martial arts skills.
All of these are available.
Xiao Tang followed Qin Chuxing into the market and was shocked by its sheer size.
Although the environment here isn't great,... the vendors really have everything.
It seemed that this wasn't Qin Chuxing's first time in such a place; he seemed quite familiar with it.
Her expression was subtle.
"Your Majesty, it's so dirty and smelly here!" Yu Xiaoshuang followed behind, covering her nose with her sleeve and saying in a muffled voice.
Her delicate and frail appearance was indeed out of place in this environment.
but……
If it wasn't acting.
Qin Chuxing glanced at her sideways, "I told you long ago not to come, but you insisted on coming anyway."
Yu Xiaoshuang swayed her slender waist: "Your Majesty, I was just afraid that someone might have designs on you, I was just..."
hehe?
Is this ulterior motive referring to her?
Xiao Tang was speechless.
Do they think the Emperor of Western Qin is the best man in the world, and all women have to fawn over him?
Xiao Tang shook her head, feeling both amused and speechless.
Qin Chuxing was speechless.
Yu Xiaoshuang had no idea she had said something wrong. She simply covered her mouth slightly and whispered, "I've also heard that the Grand Preceptor is gay, and has a relationship with the Regent..."
The sound stopped.
"What does my affair with the Regent have to do with you?" Xiao Tang retorted. "And what I want to do with the Regent has to do with your Emperor?"
Yu Xiaoshuang, who had originally wanted to say something, was rendered speechless by the retort.
"But I'm quite curious, why did the Emperor bring me here? Could this be the place where I'm looking for the Seven-Day Killer?"
This morning, she made a special trip out while Di Jingling was out of the inn.
Surprisingly, when Di Jingling left, he didn't threaten her not to run around.
It seems the main villain has completely let her go.
Her only question was that this villain had been sneaking around like a fugitive lately, and she wondered what he was up to.
“There’s a vendor in this Western Slave Market I recognize; he’s holding the Seven Days to Die.”
I see...
Xiao Tang nodded.
Qin Chuxing walked ahead, his steps steady.
He didn't even blink at the messy surroundings.
Yu Xiaoshuang followed closely behind, but every now and then she would gasp in surprise at the surrounding environment.
Her jumpy and easily startled manner disgusted men.
Of course, Xiao Tang also disliked it.
She wanted to remind the girl that if she couldn't manage, she should go outside and wait...
But I don't know if she's just stubborn or what, she insisted on following behind.
Finally, we arrived at the vendor's stall.
The vendor was calling out, but his voice trailed off when he saw Qin Chuxing.
"Your Majesty?" He was dressed in simple cloth clothes, which were not only plain but also patched in several places.
He stood up, looking at the man in front of him with surprise and delight, almost kneeling down to worship him.
However, because there were too many people coming and going at the Xinu Market, he was worried about attracting attention from those around him, so he didn't dare to perform a full salute.
