Chapter 90 Go to sleep, I will still be here tomorrow when you open your eyes
The monster opened his eyes and secretly looked at her. Seeing that the little man in front of him had indeed widened his eyes, his heart, which had finally calmed down, became flustered again. Even his breathing became much slower, as if he was afraid of blowing the person away.
She was really surprised... Chen Ting thought sadly, I must have scared her like this, she was still chattering just now, but now she can't even speak...
"I'm sorry." The monster closed his eyes again and said self-abased, "Am I really scary? You should get out of here. You'll have nightmares if you look at me for too long. I can't hug you or comfort you now."
The headlights in front of him went out again, and Shen Wangshu suddenly reacted. He let out an "Ah" and patted its head without fear: "I'm not afraid... I haven't seen it clearly yet, open it again and let me take a closer look."
“No.” This time the monster even moved the dragon’s head away, and closed its eyes tightly. Its voice was dull, as if it was about to atrophy on the spot: “I’m too scary.”
"Who said you're scary?" Shen Wangshu couldn't help laughing. He took two steps forward in the dark. He didn't know where the man had gone. Suddenly, there was nothing in front of him. He had to stop and coax him softly, "It's not scary. Come here and let me hold you."
A muffled voice came from not far away: "You lied to me. The first time I saw myself by the river, I thought I looked horrible and ugly."
It's been more than 20 years, and he still can't get used to himself turning into a monster. Everyone who has seen him either goes crazy or dies. How can it not be scary? He is a natural born...
"Have you ever been scared by your own reflection?" Shen Wangshu couldn't help laughing as he spoke.
Compared to the sluggish and backward cultural life in ancient times, as a modern person, she has seen a lot of strange things. She has eaten all kinds of food. Western dragons have been overused in modern times, and it’s not like she has never seen them before - although it would be quite horrifying if they appeared in reality, but the same thing applies, she has traveled through time, so what is impossible to happen?
"I'm really not scared, husband." She said helplessly, "I just didn't realize you were so big."
The monster lay there silently, and heard the young lady talking in a brisk tone - it seemed that she was really not afraid of him.
"Didn't you see it just now?" He was a little unbelievable: "I have a huge body. There is no monster like me in the world. I am different from everyone else."
"See, my husband's scales are black and shiny, like the finest obsidian, so majestic."
The monster was stunned, and hurriedly added: "I, my claws can easily hurt people. The iron ball in the middle of the room is not for sharpening knives, but for sharpening my claws. If I accidentally touch you, you will bleed."
"My husband's claws can cut iron like mud. They are the only superior weapons in the world. They can protect both yourself and others. How powerful."
The monster's dark face seemed to be flushed, and his voice became softer: "I still have a tail and horns. These two parts are not only ugly, but also very dangerous. If someone touches me, I will kill that person..."
Shen Wangshu finally couldn’t help laughing: “But they are clearly cute and sensitive, and they feel very good, I like them very much.”
"My husband is not a scary monster. He is the most unique dragon in the world." She added with a smile, "I am not afraid at all. I like him very much."
The young lady's two "likes" finally made Chen Ting completely stunned. The room was lit up again, and the monster only opened his eyes a little, as if he was afraid that Shen Wangshu would dislike him if he saw too clearly. He asked again happily and in disbelief: "Is everything you said true?"
Shen Wangshu, who had found the direction, walked over, sat down on the ground, and held Dalong's head in his arms again: "It's true, it's all true."
"Thank you, ma'am..." Her gentleness made the monster want to cry. He had thousands of words in his heart but didn't know how to say them. In the end, he just murmured a thank you.
"Are you sleepy?" Shen Wangshu said softly, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep. I will still be here when you open your eyes tomorrow."
These words were like a reassuring talisman. Chen Ting took them to heart and stopped trying to hold on to his tired body. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. Even in his dreams, the young lady was holding him and gently stroking his head.

The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival passed quickly and in a daze. The two masters of the second house disappeared together and did not appear until midnight. The servants became panicked, and then something even more incredible happened in the middle of the night - Chen Wangshu ordered Lvliu to keep an eye on the main courtyard, and sure enough, the maid Yingying who was not with Yan Shuyun showed up.
Lu Liu brought people to catch her in the study!
Such a big thing happened and the master was not at home, so the maids were a little unsure. However, Yingying broke into the study at night, her behavior was strange and suspicious, and no one would believe her when she said she was just taking a walk there.
So they decided to tie up the maid, gag her, throw her into the study, and assign someone to watch her 24 hours a day.
"How daring... It turns out that the master and servant sneaked into our house for other purposes! If it weren't for you, Lvliu, acting quickly, I'm afraid they would have leaked the secrets of the Duke's Mansion!" Taohong was angry and anxious, covering her chest with her hands and feeling a lingering fear.
Lvliu was very worried: "Madam asked me to come to the main courtyard to see her, but she herself didn't know where she went after Yan Shuyun..."
Wutong frowned, "It seems that the purpose of this master and servant is very clear. Yingying went to the study to steal secrets, and Yan Shuyun probably found out about the general's illness in the past few days and went to the forbidden area."
"If Madam also chases after them, and the two have not returned yet, wouldn't that be very dangerous..." Mei Xue said, "I think we should immediately inform the old lady and let her make the decision."
The current situation is no longer under the control of these little maids. If they know about it and don't report it, they cannot afford any accidents.
Wutong was the most stable among the group, and she was always the one who made the most important decisions. She nodded and said, "I'll go right away. You must keep an eye on Yingying and don't let her run away."
As for Madam and Yan Shuyun, I don't know what's going on...
Full of worry, Mei Xue hurried to the old lady's meditation hall.
