Chapter 331 is very good.
Qin Siyao helped Xiao Mo out of the Second Prince's residence.
Just as Qin Siyao was about to lead Xiao Mo into the carriage, Xiao Mo dispelled the smell of alcohol emanating from him.
His eyes, which had been hazy with drunkenness, now revealed a clear and lucid look.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me out of that predicament."
Xiao Mo thanked Qin Siyao.
The wine brought by the eldest prince was indeed very potent.
Xiao Mo felt that if he kept drinking like this, he would definitely get drunk.
"If you don't want to drink, then don't drink." Qin Siyao pouted. "You men are so strange, why do you always have to be so stubborn?"
“Sometimes I don’t want to drink, but I can’t help it.” Xiao Mo shook his head with a smile, his tone tinged with helplessness.
"From now on, you can take me with you when you drink. As long as I'm by your side, if you don't want to drink, no one can make you drink," Qin Siyao said confidently, hands on her hips.
"Alright." Xiao Mo nodded with a smile. "Then thank you very much, Your Highness."
"You're welcome." Qin Siyao raised her proud, fair chin.
Looking at Qin Siyao's charming yet somewhat adorable and innocent appearance, Xiao Mo couldn't help but glance at her a few more times. Then he looked away, raised his head, and looked at the bright moonlight, asking, "The night is lovely tonight. Would Your Highness like to take a walk together? It would be good to sober up a bit."
"Okay, let's go for a walk then."
Upon hearing that Xiao Mo wanted to take a walk with her, Qin Siyao strutted happily toward the street ahead.
Xiao Mo followed beside her, the two walking side by side in the moonlight, their shadows intertwined.
The maid, Peanut, led the white horse, Ta Xue, behind the two, keeping a distance of about ten feet to give the young couple ample space.
It was already midnight. Apart from the brothels still being brightly lit, the streets of the capital were deserted, and most people had gone to bed.
Above the capital, the entire night sky was like a slowly unfolding scroll of dark satin, gently bathed in the soft glow of a bright, full moon.
The bright moonlight gently enveloped the towering palaces, the silent pavilions, the mythical beasts on the eaves, and the lanterns with upturned corners.
It seems that everything in the world has its hard outline blurred in this soft light, turning into a quiet silhouette on the edge of a dream.
A cool evening breeze blew by, carrying the faint fragrance of the woman beside him, lingering around Xiao Mo's nose, as if softening the night.
"I also thank Your Highness for the gifts from the First Prince and the Second Prince tonight," Xiao Mo said again to the girl beside him.
Xiao Mo knew that the reason Qin Siyao took the Snow-Treading White Horse and the Dragon Scale Armor and then gave them to him was because Siyao saw his predicament and knew that he didn't want to owe them favors or have too deep a relationship with them.
Indeed, in Xiao Mo's heart, owing Qin Siyao a favor was much better than owing her two brothers a favor.
"There's no need to thank me." Qin Siyao waved her hand, then blinked at Xiao Mo. "But tonight, this princess will give you a snow-treading horse and a dragon scale armor. How are you going to repay this princess's gift?"
Xiao Mo smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of gift Your Highness would like? I will do my best to help."
"Well," Qin Siyao thought for a moment, "then come with me to a place."
"Where?" Xiao Mo asked curiously.
"Follow me and you'll see. Mount up!"
Qin Siyao ran to the side of the white horse and patted its back with her little hand.
Xiao Mo looked at Peanut with a puzzled expression.
The maid, Peanut, simply smiled and took a step back, as if to say, "I know nothing."
Xiao Mo had no choice but to mount his horse, and Qin Siyao followed suit, sitting in front of him.
Feeling the soft, delicate body of the girl in his arms, Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment.
"What are you daydreaming about? Let's go!" Qin Siyao urged Xiao Mo happily.
"drive!"
Xiao Mo squeezed his legs together, and the white horse galloped out of the city.
Soon, Qin Siyao and Xiao Mo left the city.
Guided by Qin Siyao, Xiao Mo pulled on the reins and galloped into the depths of the night.
Qin Siyao rode her horse, enjoying the evening breeze, and leaned against Xiao Mo's chest.
Feeling Xiao Mo's firm chest, the girl realized that she seemed to be somewhat close to Xiao Mo.
For Qin Siyao, this was the first time she had ever been so close to a man.
Qin Siyao's cheeks flushed slightly as she raised her head and glanced at Xiao Mo.
Seeing Xiao Mo's calm and composed demeanor, the girl suddenly felt a little angry and resentful.
But being in his arms, I felt a little happy.
After an incense stick had burned, at Qin Siyao's call, Xiao Mo reined in his white horse, Ta Xue.
The two arrived at the shore of a huge lake.
This lake is very vast, with willow trees planted along its banks, and the clear water reflects the bright moon and stars.
It's as if a master painter has sketched the entirety of the night sky on the surface of this clear lake.
Xiao Mo dismounted and then led Qin Siyao down with him.
The girl happily climbed up a small hill by the lake and shouted to Xiao Mo, "Xiao Mo, come here quickly!"
"They're here."
Xiao Mo tied up the white horse, climbed the small hill, and sat down next to the girl.
Looking up, I saw countless stars like fine sand and a moon hanging high in the sky.
Looking down, one sees the same stars and moon reflected in the lake.
Up and down, it's as if I'm sandwiched between this dazzling galaxy, even forgetting the existence of this world.
"I discovered this place by chance."
Qin Siyao hugged her knees and slowly began to speak.
"Sometimes when I'm bored, or when my father and mother make me angry, I come here."
It felt as if being in this place made me feel like I was surrounded by countless stars.
At that moment, I thought to myself, "When you come back, Xiao Mo, I must bring you to this place."
As she spoke, Qin Siyao turned her head and smiled at Xiao Mo: "How is it? Frost King, General Xiao, how is my secret? Not bad, right?"
“It’s not bad.” Xiao Mo nodded. “But I have a way to make it look even better.”
"What method?" Qin Siyao asked curiously.
Xiao Mo smiled, took out his spear, pointed it at the lake, and then flicked it upwards.
The crystal-clear river water flows through the sky, shimmering under the moonlight and stars, like countless shattered diamonds connecting heaven and earth, or like the Milky Way falling from the starry sky, staining the world.
The girl looked at everything before her, her eyes filled with surprise, and she was speechless.
"How is it?" Xiao Mo asked with a smile, "Does it look good?"
Hearing Xiao Mo's question, the girl's gaze gradually shifted from the "Milky Way" and slowly fell on Xiao Mo's profile.
"Um."
Looking at his profile, the girl nodded, her heart pounding faster. She instinctively pressed her hand to her chest, her eyes flickering slightly.
"It's very beautiful."
