Chapter 11: Feelings? This is the third time she has expressed her feelings to him,...
Mu Xingchen looked at him with a wronged expression, her eyes moist.
Li Jing frowned: "I said I would find another one for you, why are you still feeling wronged?"
Mu Xingchen raised her head and said with tears in her eyes, "If that jade pendant really saved your life, then even if I die, I won't regret it."
Li Jing's heart skipped a beat. She had confessed her feelings to him again, this was the second time. Could it be that because he saw her sleeping the first time, she felt that she should give herself to him?
Mu Xingchen continued to mutter, "I'm just, I'm just afraid that my father doesn't like me. If he knew about this... But it doesn't matter. As long as I can save the young master, I don't care."
Li Jing frowned even deeper, and before he could say anything, Mu Xingchen hugged his waist. She sobbed so hard that her tears and snot all rubbed against his clothes.
Li Jing's pupils suddenly shrank, his whole body stiffened, his hands hung in the air helplessly. He lowered his head slightly and looked at Mu Xingchen. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. In his long life, no one had ever dared to approach him, let alone hug him.
Mu Xingchen's warm body temperature was transmitted to him, and the clothes on his chest were also wet with her tears. Li Jing wanted to pull her away with his hands in the air, but when he thought about whether she would cry more fiercely after pulling her away...
After a while, he pursed his lips, raised his extremely tense hand and patted her back, then mechanically said in a slow tone of comfort: "Don't cry, it's okay. From now on, no one will throw you into such a dark place again."
Mu Xingchen raised her head and asked with tears in her eyes, "Really?"
"Yeah," he promised quietly.
"Young Master is so nice to me." Mu Xingchen smiled sweetly.
This was the third time she had confessed her feelings to him. In just one night, she had expressed her feelings to him three times...
While she was letting go, Li Jing took a step back without leaving a trace, and his tone became slightly colder: "It's late at night, go to sleep, and...you, don't think too much."
Mu Xingchen looked at Li Jing walking away and twitched his lips. The man's expression changed faster than the weather.
"Oh." She shook her head.
Xiao Qi: "What? Is it difficult?"
"Xiao Qi, I find that you are right. Men who have been seriously injured, have many enemies, and almost died often have some psychological problems."
Xiao Qi: “…”
Commonly known as a pervert, or a pervert with a moody personality.
Early the next morning, Mu Xingchen returned to the Mu Mansion. It was exactly the same as when she had just left, just as desolate.
Xu Cen said with a smile: "Miss Mu, the master said that someone will deliver the medicine on time, Miss Mu, you must remember to drink it. Also, Miss Mu, please do not reveal a word about meeting the master to anyone else." Xu Cen said the last sentence seriously.
Mu Xingchen nodded and said obediently, "I know."
Xu Cen smiled and said, "Then I'll go back and report." After that, Xu Cen disappeared from Mu Xingchen's sight.
Mu Xingchen turned around and went back to the house.
"He hasn't left yet and is still outside. Tell me, did he leave him here to monitor me or to protect me?" she pondered.
Xiao Qi was speechless: "What do you think???"
Mu Xingchen curled the corners of her mouth and said, "It doesn't matter. Let's go out for a walk." She changed her clothes and left the house alone.
Xu Cen followed her all the way, but she pretended not to know.
Mu Xingchen walked around the rouge shop, the pastry shop, the silk shop, but she didn't buy anything until she finally turned into a pawnshop. She pawned everything she could and exchanged it for ten taels of silver.
At noon, she took the money and went into a restaurant, which was crowded with people.
The waiter came over and said, "Hey, young lady, please take a seat."
Mu Xingchen shook his head: "Please excuse me, boss. I'll sit in the lobby."
The waiter's enthusiasm suddenly faded: "Okay." He arranged Mu Xingchen in a corner of the restaurant. "What would you like to eat?"
Mu Xingchen looked at the menu and ordered the cheapest one. She said politely, "Excuse me, young man."
The waiter smiled wryly: "Please wait a moment, young lady."
Mu Xingchen sat in the corner, and the noisy sounds from the entire restaurant reached his ears without missing a word.
"Hey, have you heard? That county, it seems the richest man in Pingyuan County, Boss Tu, is actually Tushan from the Ganyue Clan."
"That's right, I heard that the Ganyue Clan is so bold. Not only do they dare to mix with the human race, but they also dare to do such a big business. Their ambition is really not small."
"Those alien races have always been thinking about rebelling and competing with us humans for territory, without even considering their own worth. In my opinion, this time we should really go all out and kill all those mixed-bloods of the Dry Moon Clan."
"I heard that Tushan Zi is still on the run. If someone finds her and takes her demon core, their cultivation level will increase significantly."
"Where did she escape to?"
"I don't know. I heard the court sent experts to Sanjian Cliff to look for him, but they couldn't find him. But as long as Tushan Xu is still in the dark cell, are we still worried that Tushan Zi won't come out?"
“That’s right…”
Secret cell?
"It looks like it's the imperial court's secret prison." Mu Xingchen frowned and said, "That's troublesome."
Xiao Qi said seriously, "The prison is full of condemned prisoners with unforgivable crimes. The security is extremely strict. It would be very troublesome to sneak in."
Mu Xingchen narrowed his eyes.
After lunch, Mu Xingchen returned to the courtyard. However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a lot of banknotes on the table and a box on the ground...
Mu Xingchen opened the box and saw that it was full of stones containing spiritual power.
She picked up a piece and weighed it. "What is this?"
Xiao Qi searched Mu Qing's memory: "It's a spirit stone, which is also the high-level currency in this world. It is usually used to buy high-level spiritual treasures and spiritual medicines..."
Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow. Spiritual stones? This world has so many spiritual resources, no wonder everyone can practice.
She continued to rummage through the box and discovered that in addition to low-grade spirit stones, there were also several high-grade spirit stones.
Mu Xingchen's lips curled slightly as he said, "So generous? If it's delivered to my door, I won't refuse it."
Xiao Qi asked doubtfully, "Did that man give it to you?"
Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow: "What else?"
Xu Cen on the tree smiled. He felt that Miss Mu was really pitiful today. She didn't even have the silver notes for food, and she had to pawn her jewelry and clothes. So he told the master everything. The master immediately ordered him to take a large stack of silver notes and a box of spirit stones.
Mu Xingchen sat down and counted the spirit stones and silver notes. There were a full 100,000 taels of silver notes and thousands of spirit stones, including about a hundred medium-grade ones and dozens of high-grade ones.
"He's so rich, Xiao Qi." Mu Xingchen sighed, "Rich, handsome, tall, and in great shape. He's simply the first generation of rich people plus."
Xiao Qi chuckled: "That bitch has the same conditions."
Mu Xingchen couldn't laugh anymore, and even the pile of banknotes seemed a little displeased to him.
"Regarding Prince Yan, Xiao Qi, please look for Mu Qing's memories again. For example, how many women did he have, whether he had a favorite, etc."
"Have you fallen in love with someone else?"
Mu Xingchen was speechless.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Qi found her. "It's unknown how many women Prince Yan has, but he has a close female friend named Mo Fei, whom he brought back from the battlefield. It's said that she was on the verge of death on the battlefield, and it was Prince Yan who saved her. After she was rescued, her cultivation was completely destroyed, but even so, Prince Yan still doted on her."
Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow: "Dote on her immensely? How dote on her?"
"She's the type that everyone in Kyoto knows about. Aside from her current lack of cultivation and low social status, she's a master of almost everything. She's proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and she's incredibly beautiful. Mu Qing met her once before, and felt inferior to her for a long time. Prince Yan even promised to make her his concubine once the main wife entered the palace. Of course, Prince Yan didn't say this to Mu Qing personally; it was another woman who deliberately passed it on to Mu Qing."
"Mu Qing has an inferiority complex?" She had to know that Mu Qing was somewhat similar to her. She said in disbelief, "She looks like me, yet she has an inferiority complex?" Mu Xingchen touched her face, "She really has no idea of herself."
Xiao Qi laughed: "I was just about to say that, when it comes to confidence, it still depends on you."
Mu Xingchen couldn't help but say, "What else? Prince Yan himself isn't particularly stunning. The man's so-called non-existent aura is simply too strong."
Xiao Qi continued, "But the strange thing is that Mo Fei seems to have always been very cold towards Prince Yan. I wonder if it's just his personality."
Mu Xingchen yawned: "Where did they meet?"
"Moxiang Pavilion, do you go here every once in a while?"
Moxiang Pavilion? She seemed to have passed by this morning.
"It seems they sell calligraphy, music, chess, and painting inside?"
"right!"
"Then let's go and take a look."
Mu Xingchen said this and picked up a stack of banknotes on the table and went to Moxiang Pavilion.
It was exactly the afternoon, and there were more people coming and going on the street.
Moxiang Pavilion.
At this moment, everyone at the door stared at Mu Xingchen strangely, and then hesitated and said, "This... Miss Mu, Prince Yan is not here today."
Mu Xingchen raised his eyebrows: "What does it matter to me whether he is here or not?" As he said that, Mu Xingchen walked straight in, and the people at the door had no time to stop him.
Before he had taken a few steps, everyone in the pavilion stopped and looked at Chao Mu Xingchen.
Mu Xingchen asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?"
A pretty woman in yellow clothes walked up to her hesitantly, then whispered, "Miss Mu, Prince Yan is not here today."
Mu Xingchen curled the corners of her lips, and her smile was so charming that the woman next to her was startled.
Mu Xingchen leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Girl, today, I'm not looking for him. I'm just here to buy something."
The yellow-dressed woman's pupils widened, and a blush gradually spread across her face. She finally realized what was happening and looked at her in disbelief. Why... had he suddenly gotten so close? And what had she just said?
Mu Xingchen looked at the brush in his hand and asked, "Xiao Qi, who is Mo Fei here?"
Xiao Qi said decisively: "No one."
Mu Xingchen paused: "That's on the second floor." She yawned and walked to the second floor.
Everyone stared at this scene in amazement. The entire Moxiang Pavilion was so quiet that you could hear a needle falling on the ground.
