Chapter 154 Xiao Yue'er, didn't you come to Mogu Mountain to look for Turtle Stinky Grass?
After lunch, the group rested for an hour before slowly setting off. The sound of horse hooves and the reeling of wheels echoed as they headed towards Demon Valley Mountain.
Another hour later, the carriage stopped at the foot of Demon Valley Mountain and Lan Xiyue got off the carriage.
She looked up and saw the towering Demon Valley Mountain, shrouded in mist. Her brows furrowed slightly. "Didn't they say that bandits were rampant in Demon Valley Mountain and Mo Liyuan had already led his troops to suppress them? Why is there no one around?"
An Yi explained, "Miss Lan, you may not know that the Demon Valley Mountain is vast, and the bandits have many burrows, making them extremely difficult to track down. Perhaps they've already heard the news and hidden deep within the mountain. My master and his men are currently searching the mountain carefully for any trace of these bandits."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue frowned even more tightly. She was anxious because she only had five days left and couldn't wait too long.
She looked at An Yi, "Um, An Yi, go find Mo Liyuan immediately. I want to see him."
Dongfang Ming was immediately displeased when he heard this. He prided himself on being suave, handsome, and so beautiful that flowers would wither when they saw him. Why did Xiao Yueer see him? Wasn't she here to look for the turtle-stirring grass?
At this moment, a figure came from afar, as if walking on the wind.
The system's surprised voice rang out in Lan Xiyue's mind: "Host, the points are here, the points are here!"
Lan Xiyue looked up at the figure that was getting closer and closer, and her eyes lit up.
Dongfang Ming looked at Lan Xiyue's expression and clenched the folding fan in his hand. He was jealous and felt so sour in his heart. Xiao Yue'er hadn't looked at him like this in these days.
After a while, Mo Liyuan landed beside Lan Xiyue, his lips slightly raised as he looked at her with a half-smile: "Did you come here specifically to see me?"
The system urged again: "Host, hurry up and earn points!"
Lan Xiyue took a deep breath and secretly brewed her emotions in her heart. If she went up to him directly to gain points and annoyed him, he would get angry and run away. Where would she find him then?
"Don't be anxious, just watch my performance." Lan Xiyue's lips curled up into a confident smile. She looked at Mo Liyuan affectionately, her eyes seemed to be filled with autumn water, soft and lingering.
"Your Highness~ They say that a day without seeing you feels like three years. We haven't seen each other for such a long time, it feels like many years have passed. Your Highness~ I miss you so much~" As soon as she finished speaking, she opened her arms and rushed directly towards Mo Liyuan.
Mo Liyuan subconsciously dodged her hug with quick and cold movements.
Lan Xiyue steadied herself, turned around and looked at him with a hurt expression, and called out aggrievedly, "Prince~"
This scene stunned everyone present.
Chuxia and Chuchun, as Lan Xiyue's personal maids, were too embarrassed to see their mistress behave like this, so they turned their heads away with their cheeks slightly red.
An Yi and the others also turned around.
Only Dongfang Ming stared at Mo Liyuan with a bad face, his eyes full of hostility.
Punu looked at his young master and felt a little anxious. This was the regent of Dongyao Kingdom. If the young master looked at him so openly and with hostility, it would probably cause trouble.
"Young Master, please don't be impulsive. We are not in Miao territory. This is someone else's territory." Punu prayed silently in his heart, fearing that Dongfang Ming would do something impulsive.
Mo Liyuan glanced at Dongfang Ming coldly. Then, he pulled Lan Xiyue over and held her tightly in his arms. He lowered his head and looked at her with deep eyes. His voice was low and magnetic: "Really? You miss me a lot?"
Lan Xiyue was stunned by Mo Liyuan's sudden hug. Just now, he avoided her hug, but now he took her into his arms so actively. This guy was really moody.
But she quickly adjusted her mood, snuggled up to his solid chest, and said in a delicate voice: "Of course I do, Prince~ You don't know, I miss you every day, I miss you so much that I can't eat or drink, and I can't sleep at night~"
Hearing this, Mo Liyuan curled up the corners of his mouth into a playful smile, with a teasing gleam in his eyes, "Oh? Really?" His voice was low and magnetic, making people's hearts tremble.
Lan Xiyue nodded repeatedly, her watery eyes filled with affection and attachment. "Yes, I didn't realize it before, but now that Your Highness has been away from the capital for so long, my heart feels empty. Your handsome and extraordinary figure keeps appearing in my mind. I can't eat or sleep well. Your Highness, look at how much weight I've lost."
Mo Liyuan released his hand around her waist and looked her up and down carefully. This woman, before he set out for Demon Valley Mountain, he went to find her, but she was still very cold. But after such a short time, she became so enthusiastic. He thought he was fake, could it be that he was trying to cheat her of her so-called points again?
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed across Mo Liyuan's eyes. Who was threatening her? Telling him that she loved him was just to gain points. What were the so-called points for?
"Your Majesty~"
Mo Liyuan nodded, "He has indeed lost some weight."
"Right, right? Who told me to love the prince so much? I can't help myself, I love him to death..." Lan Xiyue took the opportunity to earn points, her voice full of tenderness and sweetness.
Is it really a point-scoring scheme? Mo Liyuan narrowed his eyes, reached out and pinched her jaw, interrupting her, "Love you to death?"
Lan Xiyue's chin was pinched by him so hard that it hurt. She puffed her face and glared at him, saying coquettishly, "Oh, Your Highness, you pinched my chin and it hurt." Her expression was both aggrieved and cute, making people feel pity for her.
Dongfang Ming said coldly: "Let Xiao Yue'er go!"
"Xiao Yue'er? He calls you so affectionately? Huh?" Mo Liyuan looked at Lan Xiyue with deep eyes.
"Uh... my new friend helped me on the way. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see His Majesty. Your Majesty, you don't know that we met the Miao people on the way. The Miao people are so scary. They either released poisonous snakes on us or beat us to death."
Mo Liyuan narrowed his eyes, "I forbid other men to call you that, understand?"
Dongfang Ming smiled evilly, "The Regent of Dongyao Kingdom really lives up to his name. He is so overbearing. Why do you not allow me to call you Xiao Yue'er?"
Mo Liyuan looked at Dongfang Ming coldly, and sparks flew between their eyes.
Lan Xiyue patted Mo Liyuan's hand and said, "Well, why don't you let go first? You're going to break my jaw, it hurts~"
Mo Liyuan looked down at her furrowed brows, then let her go. His gaze fell on her red chin, and he frowned, "Squeamish!"
The strange old man's voice rang out in Lan Xiyue's mind, "Oh! Girl, when did you become so pretentious? I, an old man, feel ashamed for you!"
Lan Xiyue secretly complained in her heart: This is all for points! But then again, Mo Liyuan is indeed handsome enough, so it's natural for her to say these sweet words. If it were an ugly guy, she would be disgusted to death by being so pretentious.
Dongfang Ming looked at Lan Xiyue and said lovingly, "Xiao Yue'er, didn't you come to Demon Valley Mountain to look for Turtle Stinky Grass? Why don't we hurry up and look for medicinal herbs?"
When Mo Liyuan heard this, his aura changed and he exuded coldness all over his body. So this woman didn't come to see him on purpose at all, she lied to him again!
