Chapter 159 The Resentful Female Ghost
All the courtyards were bustling all day, and Qiyunju was the last to become quiet.
Originally, Ye Yan was supposed to keep watch today, but he knew everything in his mind. After sending Hua Jue and Buyan back to their rooms, he immediately went back to his room to take a nap, leaving only Yun Chen and Huo Gannian in the room.
The room returned to silence.
Huo Gannian was wearing pajamas and sitting on the edge of the bed. He patted the seat next to him and motioned Yun Chen to get on the bed.
Her face turned red and she stood aside and refused to go up.
He deliberately blew out the two lamps to make the room darker, then raised his finger and said in a dangerous tone:
"Chen'er, come here. I'll tell you a story and coax you to sleep, okay?"
She lowered her head, her face flushed red, and stammered:
"What story?"
He leaned forward and stretched out his arms, took her in his arms and sat her in his arms, laughing softly:
"Tell me the story of Nuwa creating humans."
"Why are you talking about this?"
He laid her down on the couch, leaned close to her ear, and spoke in a frivolous and seductive voice, his breath making her ears numb:
"It's said that when Nuwa first created humans, they didn't wear any clothes. Do you want to know what they looked like?"
Her whole body went numb, and she immediately panicked and wanted to run away, but he was holding her down and she couldn't escape. She simply buried her head in the quilt, too embarrassed to come out.
Huo Gannian used to be cold, gloomy and distant. He had a gloomy face from morning to night, and was full of thoughts and worries.
Now that his leg has healed, he seems to have returned to the peerless young man he was before his leg injury, full of vigor and vigor.
However, due to the leg injury he had suffered in the past decade, he had developed more patience than an ordinary person, and he was even more powerful, cold, and sophisticated than before.
But that's all for outsiders.
When it comes to Yun Chen, he wants to pour out his heart and tell her everything one by one.
As for this side of nature that is all about food, sex and nature, I guess only Yun Chen can see it in this life, and there is no one else to compare with.
In the past, she could hardly imagine that such explicit obscene words would come out of his mouth.
"Why didn't I realize you were so bad before!" Her reproachful voice came from under the quilt.
He was like a leopard that had finally captured its prey but was in no hurry to eat it alive. He just fiddled with her under his "claws" and watched her struggle with interest.
He tilted his head slightly and looked at her pink earlobes and cheeks with dark eyes.
Bending his head to sniff the familiar, warm scent with a hint of milk, he gently touched the back of her neck, shoulders, and lower back with the tip of his nose.
Every time he touched her, he could feel her body tremble noticeably.
He secretly took a few deep breaths, gritted his teeth and suppressed his impatience, not letting any part of his body touch her thigh. Finally, he rested his forehead on her shoulder blade and sighed:
"'Starting from emotion, ending with propriety'... Why would the sage deceive me... Or, shall I just stop listening to the sage today?!"
She was so scared that she was incoherent: "Just listen to it!"
Seeing that she was getting annoyed, he laughed heartily, hugged her and kissed the top of her head, then stood up and left without doing anything further.
He spread out the soft couch that his personal guards usually slept on, and lay down not far from her, covering his head like her.
She poked her head out from under the quilt, like a little rabbit just out of its nest, looked at him with bright eyes, and asked:
"Why are you sleeping with your back to me and your head covered?"
His voice came out muffled from under the quilt:
"If I face you without covering my head, it would be difficult for me to be a gentleman."
She covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "I have been pretending to be a man for so long, how come I don't know about this kind of thing?"
He said angrily, "Don't be so cocky. I'll teach you a lesson sooner or later!"
Soon, a quarter of an hour later.
When Yun Chen was still not feeling sleepy, Huo Gannian was already fast asleep.
She lay sideways on the couch, looking at his sleeping face with a silly smile.
She didn't know how long it had been since she felt this stable and peaceful. Although she knew it was only temporary and the encirclement and suppression of the Yu family was imminent, and she would have to embark on a journey again soon, she still felt particularly satisfied in her heart.
It’s a pity that I am satisfied but not perfect.
When this sentence popped up in his mind, Yun Chen suddenly lost all sleepiness and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
She looked at the green veil above her head, and many people and things appeared like floating lake water.
Figuring she couldn't fall asleep anymore, she got dressed and went out.
When passing by Huo Gannian, he grabbed the corner of his clothes in a daze.
"Where is Chen'er going?"
She pulled his hand away with amusement and tucked the quilt in for him.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Without even opening his eyes, he said "Oh" and fell asleep again.
She walked to the two rows of houses where the guards lived with ease, and stood in front of a house that had been empty for a long time, standing quietly for a long time.
That was a single room where the errand runners for the personal guards could live.
When I opened the door, the room was full of dust.
Xiaoliu's belongings were all collected in a small box. Like Xun Xun's, there were not many things in it.
But Xiaoliu was an orphan who grew up living in many families, and no one came to claim his belongings, so the box remained in the house, covered with dust.
She walked forward and opened the box. Inside were two thin clothes, a whetstone, two bulging purses, some small odds and ends, and a longevity lock given by Xun Jian.
Maybe because there was too much dust, her eyes felt a little sore.
He raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and when he lowered his hand, it habitually fell on the hilt of the sword at his waist, but found nothing.
The Blood-Drinking Sword was not with her at the moment. It was the only relic Jiang Ming left her.
On the road to dominating the Nan Kingdom, the Huo Gang lost thousands of people in the repeated battles against the Yu Family.
As Huo Gannian's personal guard, she also lost her best friend and mentor.
Thinking of the heavy past, she felt sad. She held on to the table to adjust her breathing and hold back her tears, but out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow standing not far behind her.
She turned around suddenly and saw a female ghost with disheveled hair standing in the moonlight, looking at her with resentful eyes.
In an instant, all the sad emotions disappeared.
She was so frightened that she almost screamed and fell to the ground.
After seeing who it was, she covered her almost stopped heart and stammered:
"Xiao, Xiao, Xiao Yue'er? Why are you not sleeping so late at night?! What are you doing here?!"
Xiaoyue'er's eyes were filled with resentment, and her voice was hollow:
"Guard Yun... why didn't you go to see the Second Young Lady? Everyone in the courtyard had set up a small dinner table to celebrate your return, and you went to all of them! Why didn't you go to the Second Young Lady's courtyard?"
Yun Chen stood up, patted his clothes, and said vaguely: "I... I haven't made time yet, I don't have time to go..."
Upon hearing these misleading words, Xiaoyue immediately opened her arms and pounced towards Yunchen. Her long nails were bared and waving in the moonlight, making her look like a female ghost.
Yun Chen dodged the worst pinch, but Xiao Yue still twisted the flesh on his arm and cursed:
"You heartless, damn Yunchen, stinking Yunchen! Do you know how the Second Young Miss has been living for the past year?! Such a beautiful girl! What has become of her?! What sin did the Second Young Miss commit to deserve to run into a heartless and ruthless plague god like you!"
Xiaoyue started crying as she spoke, and her sobbing voice filled the night sky, seeming even more creepy.
Yun Chen rubbed his arm that was pinched and hurt, and quickly covered Xiao Yue'er's mouth, saying anxiously:
"Xiao Yue'er, stop it! This is the men's house in the outer courtyard! Don't let anyone find out you're here so late at night, it'll ruin your reputation!"
Xiaoyue took advantage of the situation and bit Yunchen hard, causing him to gasp in pain.
After spitting at Yun Chen, Xiao Yue Er sobbed and cursed:
"Do you know that we women have a good reputation? So many suitors came to our house, and the Second Miss rejected them all! The Old Master was furious about this! The Second Miss has never disobeyed the Old Master, but because of you, she is determined not to marry, and would rather die than force him to do so! Do you know that?!"
Yun Chen was silent. No matter how Xiaoyue pinched and bit her, she did not fight back.
"Please, can you please go and see the Second Young Miss? Let her just see you from afar, okay?... The Second Young Miss has been waiting from day till night, and she's still waiting..."
