Yue Chen stared blankly as the fierce little woman suddenly rushed into his arms, gave him a fierce hug, and started shaking him by grabbing his shoulders.
Although he was still a little confused, seeing Hua Cai Le like this, Yue Chen couldn't help but smile and quickly reached out to support her, saying, "Take it easy."
"You're such a little angel!" Hua Cai laughed wildly, and only after a long while did she release her claws and catch her breath.
Emma, I laughed so hard I almost choked.
"Little angel?" Yue Chen asked curiously while helping Hua Cai catch her breath in a very good mood.
"They're winged bird-people who live somewhere." Hua Cai waved her hand to indicate that she was alright, then turned to look at her beloved female lead.
The female lead has been offered to him, and another emperor is on his way. Hua Cai looked at the female lead who kept shrinking back, as if she was seeing a surge of energy points rushing towards her.
"Your death has nothing to do with me, don't look for me." The camp was not very big to begin with, and Zhao Qinglian had been huddled there for a long time, so she had nowhere left to retreat. When she saw Hua Cai approaching with a malicious look, she panicked and cursed Li Zheng in her heart for being unreliable and daring to lie to her that she had seen Jin Baozhu drink the blood-dissolving powder.
If Jin Baozhu really drank the blood-dissolving powder, could the thing appearing in front of him now be a ghost?
Zhao Qinglian looked at Hua Cai warily, but in her heart she was wondering when Li Yuan and Xu Yuanhua would realize that she was missing.
When the two armies began their standoff, Zhao Qinglian was brought back by Yue Chen, who had led his men to raid the Li Kingdom's main camp. She was imprisoned here, unaware that more than half of the Li-Qiu allied forces had been captured, and was still hoping that Li Yuan and that cheap uncle would come to rescue her.
Having lived two lives, her temperament was indeed different. Looking at the calm female lead in front of her, and then thinking about the male lead next door who had instantly lost his mind, Hua Cai instantly looked at Zhao Qinglian with higher regard.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Hua Cai smiled and squatted down in front of Zhao Qinglian, looking directly into her eyes: "How could a living, breathing person like me just die?"
Zhao Qinglian was certain.
Yes, she's just a defeated opponent. What's there to be afraid of? I've died once before, why would I be afraid of her?
"Miss Jin." Zhao Qinglian took a deep breath, glancing at the man who kept smiling at Jin Baozhu out of the corner of her eye. She had a feeling that he was not someone to be trifled with. The breakthrough point should still be this woman, at least she seemed easier to deal with.
"I know you like Li Zheng. Li Zheng and I are just ordinary friends. I like someone else. If you are willing to let me go, I... I can help you win back Li Zheng's heart. How about it?" Zhao Qinglian tried hard to recall Jin Baozhu's weaknesses from her memory. Apart from Li Zheng, she couldn't think of anyone else.
She had lived a very comfortable life for the past three years. As if she could start her life over again, she won Li Zheng's heart, crushed it under her feet, and left the palace with a carefree attitude. She became the most beloved woman of the handsome and unrestrained prince, envied by all the women of Li Kingdom, and lived a carefree life riding through the world.
Her biggest obstacle in her past life was no longer a concern for her in this life. With just a couple of simple tricks, Li Zheng discarded her like trash, and no one could shake her position.
When she thinks of such a harmless person now, all that remains in her mind is that beautiful and refined face that made her jealous to death in her past life.
Aside from leaving politics, she couldn't think of a single bargaining chip she could offer in negotiations.
“Leave politics—” Hua Cai stroked her chin, pretending to be deep in thought.
Zhao Qinglian was secretly delighted. Sure enough, she was still that brainless woman who was already tempted.
Just as she was about to press her advantage and say a few more words, she suddenly felt two dagger-like gazes fixed on her.
It was him, the man who singled her out from among so many people leaving the camp and took her away.
This man is more terrifying than Li Zheng, or even her ambitious uncle.
Zhao Qinglian touched the goosebumps that had risen on her arm and wisely kept quiet.
“In the past, your offer might have been incredibly tempting,” Hua Cai said with a look of regret. “But now, I no longer feel even the slightest bit of affection for that person, because—”
Hua Cai leaned down and whispered in Zhao Qinglian's ear: "The taste of the Blood Dissolving Powder is really awful. I don't want to drink it a second time."
Zhao Qinglian's eyes widened suddenly, staring at her in horror: "You, you, you—are you a human or a ghost?"
She actually drank the blood-dissolving powder. Li Zheng hadn't lied to her. But how could someone who drank the blood-dissolving powder be alive now?
It's fake, it must be fake. She must be lying to me, or rather, she's not Jin Baozhu at all.
"Whether I'm a human or a ghost, you guess?" Hua Cai stood up with a smile. "Seeing that you're not doing well now, I'm relieved. You and Li Zheng are so close, you must miss him very much. Before long, Li Zheng will personally lead an expedition. When that happens, I will definitely arrange for you to meet as soon as possible."
In high spirits, she pulled Yue Chen out of the tent, instructed the unlucky centurion to keep a close watch on the people inside, and decided to find a place to celebrate her good luck today.
"Little angel, you've done me a huge favor today. I forgive your years of malicious assassination attempts and have decided to repay evil with kindness by treating you to dinner. How about it? You can choose any restaurant in Duxin City." Hua Cai now finds Yue Chen pleasing to the eye, and even her smile is much more sincere.
Although Yue Chen didn't understand why her mood improved upon seeing Zhao Qinglian, he felt a warmth in his heart when he saw her unusually kind smile towards him. However, he was still bothered by the birdman's praise, which was not a compliment at all: "Don't call me little angel. There's no need to eat. Just take a stroll."
Although Yue Chen's impression of their only shopping trip was not very good, for some reason, he was extremely fond of the feeling of walking together. If he had a free day, it would be nice to stroll around the street corners together.
Just for a walk?
Hua Cai looked at Yue Chen, who had a serious expression, with suspicion: "Have you been lying in ambush on the streets, just waiting to lure me out so you can make your move?"
Yue Chen: ......
"Go if you want, or don't, never mind." With a flick of his sleeve, Yue Chen left without looking back.
A bleak wind swirled by, and the flower petals were scattered in the wind.
"Hey, I never said I wasn't going! Why are you so angry? It's your fault for always trying to kill me. As the only habit you've stuck with for three years, how could I not want to think about it? Hey, wait for me—"
