Chapter 671 Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 31
He obviously dreamed of something bad, but since he was unwilling to say it, she would not poke his heart.
Quan Jiu: "Wash your face, and go back early while there are fewer people around."
It wouldn't be nice to be caught walking out of her room so early in the morning.
Chen Lang walked slowly to the washbasin, scooped up two handfuls of water with his big, bony hands and poured them on his face. The water droplets slid down his brow and nose.
Just when Quan Jiu thought he was done, the man picked up the towel hanging beside him and wiped it on his face calmly.
"That's my face towel." Quan Jiu reminded with gritted teeth.
"I know."
Shen Lang even picked up the face towel again.
Quan Jiu watched as the white washcloth covered his face.
The towel is soft and fits his contours closely, including his deep and prominent brow bones, dark eyes, high nose bridge... and even his thin upper and lower lips.
Just a few minutes ago, she washed her face in the same way, and the warmth of the towel left on her face had not yet dissipated.
His lips touched the towel, which inexplicably felt like a kiss, and Quan Jiu felt his lips getting hot.
At this moment, Chen Lang's pair of lazy peach blossom eyes were still staring at her.
Quan Jiu: “…”
mmp.
The inhuman old monster is still so flirtatious.
During the confrontation between the two, the little kid who had slept all night finally sat up drowsily, looking around at the new environment he had never seen before with sleepy eyes, and the few hairs on his head stood up in disarray.
The little girl opened her hazy eyes, but before she could come to her senses, she looked at Quan Jiu's back as he sat at the table, frowning and whispering, "Mother..."
The call of "Mom" stunned both people present.
Shen Lang's expression suddenly became strange, his eyes flickering between Naituanzi and Quan Jiu. Although he didn't speak, his eyes clearly said—
Did you give birth to it?
Quan Jiu: “…”
Maybe it's really possible that she gave birth to the child.
At first, she just thought it was normal for a child to miss their mother in a foreign land since it was their first time traveling far away, but wasn't Milk Ball's frequency a little too high?!
What's more, she is now dressed as a man. There is such a big difference between men and women. Why does Niantuanzi always mistake her, a "man", as her mother?
Seeing her silence, Shen Lang frowned even more tightly.
After Naituanzi called for help, he finally regained consciousness and saw the man next to Quan Jiu. His red lips opened slightly in surprise, and his black eyes widened like a frightened rabbit.
For the first time, Chen Lang looked at Xuanyuan Zhuo intently. This little tyrant of Northern Qi was notorious, and he had heard of him even in Meng State.
Quan Jiu: "Are you awake? Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat something?"
Naituanzi came to her side happily. His stool was occupied by Chen Lang, so he had no choice but to move another stool and put it next to Quan Jiu.
"Why is he here too?"
The tone sounded unhappy.
Shen Lang narrowed his eyes slightly.
He remembered that he had never offended him, right?
"He'll be leaving soon." Quan Jiu didn't even plan to keep him for dinner.
Milk ball counted on his fingers, slightly distressed: "But here we only have steamed buns, white porridge and vegetarian dishes."
There is still a lot of food in the Quanjiu space, but it is difficult to use it because of Shen Lang's presence.
"There are still two chicken legs left over from last night."
The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
In the end, the mother and son each got a chicken leg. Shen Lang, who shamelessly stayed to eat, silently scooped a spoonful of white porridge into his mouth.
…
The auspicious time has arrived, and Master Kongming will start the ritual on time.
Chu Tuo, wearing a gold-plated dragon robe, stepped onto the stairs, bowed three times sincerely, and then inserted the three incense sticks in his hand into the incense burner.
At this moment, a huge explosion suddenly came from the backyard.
Any unexpected event in such a solemn occasion was considered an ominous sign. Chu Tuo's face darkened.
"What's that sound?!"
The Royal Guards rushed to investigate, but after a while, they came back with a look of shock and complexity on their faces.
"Your Majesty...would you like to go and see for yourself?"
………
“Auspicious signs from heaven!! Auspicious signs from heaven!!”
After seeing the scene clearly, Master Kongming excitedly stepped forward and came to the old tree that was blown out.
There is a century-old banyan tree in the backyard of Foyin Temple. No matter how the seasons change, the banyan tree remains tall and green.
Chu Tuo looked at the old tree that collapsed to the ground, revealing roots as thick as an adult's thigh, and frowned:
"A tree falling and its leaves withering are not good things, so why does the master say it is an auspicious sign?"
Master Kongming's hands trembled slightly as he rubbed the Buddhist beads in his hands:
"Master once said in his will that everything in the world is subject to reincarnation, including birth, old age, sickness and death. The death of the banyan tree signifies the arrival of new life."
Almost everyone present thought of the legend of Ziwei Star.
"Amitabha."
Master Kongming had a white beard and bowed to the fallen banyan tree, showing a bit of compassion for the world.
Chu Tuo couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart:
"Master, the new life you mentioned is the Purple Star that Master Kong Che once predicted?"
This is a matter of national destiny. In order to prevent those with ulterior motives from impersonating Ziwei Star, Master Kongche keeps all the characteristics of Ziwei Star secret.
No one knows his origin, gender, how and where he came.
"Exactly."
Master Kongming looked emotional.
"Before Master passed away, he called me to his room and specifically instructed me not to reveal any information about Ziwei Star. I have kept this secret for ten years, thinking that this day would never come. But I never expected... Amitabha, may the Buddha have mercy on me..."
Quan Jiu stood opposite Shen Lang, listened to Master Kong Ming's sigh, and mouthed something to Shen Lang from an angle where no one could see.
"ox."
Even masters can be bribed.
Shen Lang's brows were furrowed, and he was not as relaxed as she was. Instead, his gaze towards her became more meaningful.
"Your Majesty, there is something under this tree!!"
The Royal Guards were moving the banyan tree. After pulling the tree out of the pit, they discovered that there was a picture drawn at the bottom of the pit, which was one or two meters deep.
This picture was carved underground. Chu Tuo knelt beside the tree pit and leaned forward. The light underground was too weak and he could not see it clearly.
After trying to identify it for a long time, he hesitated and said:
"This seems to be... a topographic map... but I feel like this place is vaguely familiar."
The leader of the Royal Guards had already jumped into the pit with a kerosene lamp. When he saw the trend in the picture clearly, he was shocked.
"Your Majesty, this appears to be a map of the border between Northern Qi and Meng State..."
Since this matter concerned Northern Qi, Xuanyuan Qinglan took two steps forward. After seeing the topographic map clearly, his brows furrowed slightly.
"It is indeed a border map between Northern Qi and Meng State."
Chu Tuo looked at Master Kong Ming and said, "Master, does this imply that the Purple Star will appear at the border between Northern Qi and Meng?"
………Dividing line…………
I'm so angry that I can't even get into the mood to write. Scumbags should go to hell. I didn't want to suffer, but a few days ago I was hesitating whether to learn Muay Thai or Sanda. After watching the video today, I signed up decisively. If you have the chance, go and learn it. It might save your life at the critical moment.
