Chapter 87 Princess, when will you recruit me as your consort?
Xue Chen saw her embarrassment clearly.
He didn't move when he heard her words.
"Whoever took it off should put it on. Your Highness, do you really want to take advantage of me and not take responsibility?"
"Xue Wuyin, you..."
She gritted her teeth and slowly raised her head.
At first glance, I saw his chest under his messy coat, which was different from the skinny one I had imagined.
His skin texture was smooth and firm, he had lost the immaturity of a teenager, but not as exaggerated as a body cultivator, his thinness concealed toughness.
It's her type.
She grabbed the quilt and wrapped it around him.
"alright."
The boy's eyelashes trembled, "And then?"
Then what?
"Then I'll go first."
She laughed dryly twice, bent down and tried to escape.
Xue Chen's eyelids twitched, and he would not give up until he achieved his goal. "Your Highness, when will you recruit me as your consort?"
“Ah, this…”
"We didn't do anything, did we?"
Xue Chen pulled open his inner garment, revealing the "trace" he had prepared. "Why don't you take a look at what this is?"
Ning Shengsheng pinched herself.
How can she be so crazy when she is drunk?
"I……"
"I understand." Xue Chen gathered his inner garments, got out of bed, picked up his outer robe from the floor and put it on.
"I can only submit my report and ask Your Majesty to make the decision."
"?"
"No, we can talk it out, let's discuss it properly..." Ning Shengsheng jumped down and stopped the man.
"My reputation has been ruined, and my only remaining option is to marry Your Highness. If the princess shirks responsibility, I will have to ask Your Majesty and the court officials to make the decision for me."
"I'm responsible, I'm responsible!"
She has two heads.
Ning Shengsheng was as helpless as a man at this moment.
"Okay..." Xue Chen curled his lips and smiled, with the calculation in his eyes hidden deeper.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is not in the peach forest."
"We've looked everywhere except for Xue Jizi's room."
The sounds of sponge cakes and date paste could be heard outside the yard.
Oh no.
She soothed him, "This princess will absolutely take responsibility, but first, you have to help me trick Songgao Zaoni away."
Xue Chen raised his eyebrows: "That's fine."
Ning Shengsheng just breathed a sigh of relief.
The person on the other side asked, "What's the benefit? Your Highness wouldn't even want to get this for free, would he?"
"Xue Wuyin, are you crazy?"
"Oh, I see. Your Highness is unwilling to promise anything, just like he bit me last night..."
"I'll give it to you!"
She glared at him, and felt that the guy's innocent eyes were hiding a lot of evil intentions.
"Okay, I'll owe you that first."
Xue Chen smiled, turned and walked towards the door.
There was a knock on the door.
"Xue Zhizi, do you know where our princess has gone?"
"After a few drinks last night, Her Royal Highness the Princess went to Miss Yun's courtyard. You should go look for her there."
"Okay, thank you Xue Hongzi."
Xue Chen turned around and saw Ning Shengsheng jumping out of the window and running away.
He laughed silently at first, but when he thought of her panic-stricken look just now, his shoulders trembled slightly, as if he couldn't hold it back, and a few hearty laughs escaped his thin lips.
Ning Shengsheng ran back to her room.
I quickly changed my clothes.
Sitting at the tea table, pretending to have just come back from outside, he held his chin with a look of regret on his face.
"Ning Shengsheng, Ning Shengsheng, you've chewed and bitten everything, how can you not remember anything?"
"What a waste of opportunity."
"If I get too drunk again, I'll just kill myself."
The system of the sea of consciousness hesitated to speak.
It can interfere with Ning Shengsheng, but it cannot tell what Xue Chen, the target of the mission, has done.
【Ding, you have a new email. 】
A letter from headquarters?
It quickly opened the email.
There was only a short and terrifying line of words written inside.
[Hello, 666 system, after checking, the mission you accepted has been upgraded to S-level. Danger warning!]
???
Before the system could even cry out to the sky, another email arrived.
[The mission object changes on its own, and headquarters cannot intervene. This is a lucky charm. I wish you come back alive.]
“…”
Its life is as miserable as Ning Shengsheng's.
Two unlucky guys!
Ning Shengsheng had no idea that the system in her sea of consciousness had received shocking news.
Besides, she had no time to care.
With trembling lips, he asked, "System, are you there?"
The system is even more depressed than she is. [I am here.]
"Well, can I... marry Xue Chen?" she asked cautiously.
The system took a look and found that the progress of the strategy has reached 300%, and the progress of the side quest is 70%.
He glanced at the story mission in the upper right corner again.
Covered with a giant red exclamation mark.
To the north!
What's going on now? It's a mess. Just leave it to fate!
[Host, please do as you wish.]
Ning Shengsheng: “?”
"Little system, something's wrong with you. What's wrong?"
【fine. 】
The system now doesn’t know how to complete the task, and doesn’t even know if it can return safely.
The key to the problem lies in Xue Chen.
Few people take S-level tasks because there is no specific task process.
Life or death unknown.
It is a rudimentary system that has just been developed.
How could this happen?
"Tell me anything you have, I'll help you find a solution." Ning Shengsheng comforted.
[I, I'll tell you once I've sorted it out...]
System headache.
It can't say, hello host, our mission target has mutated, and the fate of you and me is unknown.
It's not as ruthless as headquarters.
"Okay, then tell me clearly."
Soon Songgao and Zaopi came back, "Your Highness, where have you been? We had a hard time looking for you."
Ning Shengsheng took a sip of the teacup with a guilty conscience. "I got drunk last night and slept in the alchemy room."
She spoke nonsense.
Ning Shengsheng was served lunch and then took shelter under the willow tree in the yard.
"Junior Sister Ning~"
"Senior Sister Yun? Why are you here? Is Valley Master Yun alright?"
"Well, fortunately, my mother only suffered a loss of vitality, and Shen Qinghe still has some humanity."
Yun Huaiyue sat on the recliner next to her.
"Mother said she's holding a banquet tonight to celebrate Baiyao Valley's survival from this disaster. I came here specifically to tell you."
"OK!"
"Junior Sister Ning, I..."
Ning Shengsheng glanced sideways, seeing her brows stained with worry, "What's wrong? Tell me."
"well……"
Yun Huaiyue sighed deeply, "In the past, Baiyao Valley was supported by my grandfather and mother, and I had my eldest and second senior brothers to protect me. Apart from refining pills, I didn't have anything to worry about every day."
"Last night when I was taking care of my mother..."
"I just learned that my grandfather failed to ascend five years ago and is no longer alive. My mother kept the news a secret, fearing that word would spread outside and the cultivators, blinded by profit, would attack Hundred Medicine Valley. I never thought that Shen Qinghe would dare to do so many evil things just because he knew that my grandfather was no longer alive."
"Now, my mother is seriously injured. I have to support Baiyao Valley and protect everyone."
"But I..."
Yun Huaiyue smiled bitterly. How could she do that?
“You can do it!”
The girl's clear voice was very affirmative.
Yun Huaiyue opened her mouth in surprise, "An An, why do you trust me so much?"
"Senior Sister, you are already a seventh-rank alchemist at such a young age."
"If the people in Baiyao Valley are not strong enough, we can cooperate with Daning and Qingling Sect!"
"Baiyao Valley excels at alchemy, Daning is good at weapon refining, and Qingling Sect's swordsmanship and formations are its advantages."
“We benefit from each other and are tied together.”
"Who dares to cause trouble?"
"You're right. Due to the scarcity of spiritual energy, several major sects have clung to their own advantages and become complacent. If only we could mentor each other like we did before and learn from each other's strengths."
"It's not a bad idea to see the world of cultivation return to its prosperous state." Yun Huaiyue's eyes sparkled as she hugged Ning Shengsheng and gave her a kiss. "An An, thank you~"
After saying that, he couldn't wait to run out.
Ning Shengsheng touched the cheek that had been kissed and smiled foolishly.
Under the shadow of the eaves, Xue Chen stared at Ning Shengsheng's cheek which was kissed by Yun Huaiyue.
Those silent eyes moved.
He didn't lower his eyes until the girl turned around, and stroked the spikes on the whip with his fingertips.
It hurts, but it’s exciting.
Ning Shengsheng seemed to sense something, and when she turned around, she saw the red mole between the boy's eyebrows looking like poisoned rouge in the dim light.
