Qu Shaoyu frowned slightly and muttered, "Fate?"
Ning Qing took out a wine flask from her spatial storage and took a sip.
Qu Shaoyu's eyes widened as he pointed at the wine pot in Ning Qing's hand.
"Where...where...where did you get your wine jug?"
Ning Qing raised an eyebrow.
"What? You want a drink too?"
Qu Shaoyu shook his head vigorously.
"No... I won't drink it."
Ning Qing pretended not to understand and asked.
"If you don't want to drink, why are you staring so intently at the wine jug in my hand?"
Qu Shaoyu, "You had nothing in your hands just now, so how did you manage to conjure up a pot of wine out of thin air?"
Ning Qing curled her lips, her expression indifferent.
"What's so difficult about this? Don't make a fuss."
Qu Shaoyu suddenly stood up, took a step back, and still stared wide-eyed with his beautiful eyes. His throat bobbed as he swallowed with difficulty.
"you……".
"You're not human!"
Ning Qing was speechless.
Although she is indeed a demon, and her current identity is that of a painting spirit, and she really has nothing to do with humans, why does this sentence sound so strange?
There's something slightly off about it, though it's undeniably true!
Ning Qing took another sip of wine, then glanced at him lightly.
"It's nothing new and people are making a fuss over nothing."
Qu Shaoyu...
Qu Shaoyu pursed his lips tightly.
After calming himself down, he tentatively asked the question.
"Uh, can you tell me what you are...?"
He didn't say the last three words.
I only silently filled in the gaps in my heart.
Ning Qingzhen wanted to tell this brat in front of her that she needed to be careful with her words when speaking on her own turf!
Ning Qing glanced at him indifferently.
"Sit down and talk."
After hesitating for a moment, Qu Shaoyu simply obeyed the inhuman thing in front of him for the time being.
To avoid him getting upset and harboring ill intentions towards me.
So he took a step forward and sat on just one corner of the stone bench.
Ning Qing noticed his guarded demeanor.
She gave a light scoff and glanced at him indifferently.
"You don't need to be so nervous. If I had any ill intentions towards you, I wouldn't have helped you."
Qu Shaoyu's gaze sharpened.
"You're the one who brought me here?"
Ning Qing nodded.
"I only help those who are destined to be helped."
Qu Shaoyu recalled the danger he had faced in the box earlier; he had almost been discovered by the Regent.
The consequences were something he couldn't even imagine.
Thinking about it this way, the person in front of me did indeed help me.
"Why do you say I am your destined one?"
Ning Qing took a sip of wine and spoke slowly.
"Since you have obtained my painting, you are my destined one."
Qu Shaoyu murmured, "A painting?"
Then I remembered that when I hid inside the large box, I was indeed holding a scroll in my hand.
Could it be because of that scroll painting that I was able to get this person's help and temporarily escape my predicament?
Qu Shaoyu's gaze fell on Ning Qing's wine pot, as if deep in thought.
"Are all those who receive this painting destined to be yours?"
Ning Qing remained calm and gave a seemingly plausible but ultimately ambiguous answer.
"Yes and no."
Qu Shaoyu's eyes flashed as if he had thought of something.
"Since we are destined to meet, why don't I take you out for a trip?"
"You have no idea how bustling and lively it is outside. The streets are lined with shops, and there is a wide variety of goods available, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation."
Ningqing...
What's this brat's purpose in trying to trick me into going out with him?
Is she trying to curry favor with me? Or wants to be my sidekick?
